The two of them were walking aimlessly on the streets of Handanar City.
On the street, Hathaway's fair and slender legs were secretly watched by many pedestrians, and at this time she became quiet again.
Her bright cheeks reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, and the corners of her mouth were curved and raised, always wearing a confident smile. Her pair of green eyes were like two of the most magnificent emeralds. When she secretly looked at He Boqiang,
Her eyes were full of exploration and curiosity. She was like a very curious cat. Even though she knew there seemed to be danger ahead, she couldn't help but raise her tail and approach quietly, just like the plate in front of her.
There is a delicious little fish inside.
Then he turned to the front of the small townhouse on the street. In the familiar courtyard, there were two armchairs and a square table under the tree. The old man leaned against the fence and said hello to He Boqiang: "Young knight, do you want to
Come in and have a cup of tea!"
It seemed that there was nowhere to go for the time being, so I simply agreed.
"It looks like you have good luck this afternoon." The old man held a pair of flower scissors in both hands and said to He Boqiang with an ambiguous expression.
"Actually, it's not as good as you think. Some things may get worse!" He Boqiang replied with a wry smile.
"Then you might as well sit down and have a cup of tea." The old man said to He Boqiang: "The lemon tea I made tastes great. I haven't had guests here for a long time, and I don't know how to entertain you."
"Isn't it too intrusive?" Hathaway said as she walked into the small courtyard with a smile, without any hesitation in her movements.
She and He Boqiang sat on a chair under the lemon tree, supporting her pointed chin with both hands, pouting her lips and raising her head and asking the old man: "Can you make us a cup of lemon tea?"
"Of course!" the old man replied to Hathaway with a smile on his face.
After speaking, the old man slowly walked into the house. The kitchen was by the window. He Boqiang could clearly see him clumsily and busy in the kitchen, boiling water, scooping out two spoons of honey from the jar, and slicing lemons into the kettle.
…
Two young nobles on horseback galloped past the street, as if they were searching for something. Unfortunately, their eyes did not fall on the yard, nor did they notice the two young men and women sitting under the lemon tree, drinking tea leisurely.
That's the person they're looking for.
The two young nobles probably never thought that their target would be sitting leisurely in the courtyard of a residential house, enjoying a cup of lemon tea under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Hathaway held the cup in both hands, but her eyes fell on the sunset outside the courtyard. Her eyes were a little blurred.
He Boqiang felt that there was a hint of loneliness hidden in her eyes, just like the look in her eyes when she and Baron Sidney stood face to face on the dance floor on the night of the ball, and they stared at each other.
At that time, I just felt that Baron Sidney's fiancee seemed to be inseparable from Baron Sidney, but now it seems that she is longing for freedom.
He Boqiang took a sip of lemon tea and felt his stomach was empty, then he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.
"Then what are you going to do? If you go back to Jonathan's mansion, will Norton cause trouble for you?" He Boqiang asked Hathaway.
"I'm not afraid of him!" Hathaway said with a sly smile on his face: "I will go back to Jonathan Mansion later. I just don't want to go back so early. Norton will definitely stir up trouble in front of those people. I
I don’t bother to pay attention to them, and they don’t dare to do anything to me now that Sabrina is the great swordsman!”
He Boqiang nodded and was silent for a while before asking again: "How is Beatrice?"
"The wound has healed better than expected. She has been thinking about seeing you again, but I didn't tell her that we would meet again in Handanar City. She is a very simple girl, and she should be given
Take some time to think about it." When Hathaway said these words, her eyes were staring at He Boqiang's eyes seriously, and her eyes were catching every emotion flowing through He Boqiang's eyes instantly.
But Hathaway didn't see any subtle fluctuations in He Boqiang's eyes.
His heart was like a calm sea without any ripples.
"..."
He stared at the cup of lemon tea, wanting to see through the cup of tea.
Hathaway finally couldn't help but asked He Boqiang: "Are you really not curious at all?"
"What?" He Boqiang raised his head and took his eyes away from the tea cup.
"You don't want me to explain?" Hathaway's eyes were flowing, and her beauty seemed to be in those magnificent eyes.
"Forget it, what I want to say may have been said a long time ago. I don't want to listen to other people's lies at all, and I don't like to force anyone." He Boqiang raised his head and looked at that delicate face and said with an indifferent expression.
Hathaway turned her eyes to the street and softly uttered:
"That guy Norton is a scumbag..."
When she said this, she seemed to feel more relaxed. She paused and said:
"This scumbag knows that I have a fiancé, but he still wants to get close to me by pursuing my best friend."
Hearing what Hathaway said, He Boqiang thought of the round-faced girl Beatrice, and asked casually:
"Your best friend...Beatrice?"
Hathaway squinted her eyes and shook her head.
Her long hair was chopped off by evil spirits in the previous battle, but now her shoulder-length short hair looks more vibrant.
Perhaps because she is a famous swordsman, her whole body exudes an aura of youth, and her magnificent gem-like eyes reveal a soul-stirring charm.
Hathaway stared with big eyes and said angrily: "It's Georgina. We originally agreed that this time we would come to the Warsaw plane to practice together."
‘Actually, it might not be a good thing not to come.’ He Boqiang thought in his heart.
Hathaway continued: "But she suddenly became pregnant before leaving. If this happens to the students of the Swordsman Academy before they have graduated, they may not be able to get the graduation certificate from the academy, and it may not be possible this time.
He was even kicked out of his family."
He Boqiang did not interrupt, but he thought of the things he had heard and seen in his previous life. He sighed in his heart and thought, "No matter where you are, there will be some people who like to taste forbidden fruits, but they don't know what they have to bear later."
What a huge responsibility, those who cannot bear it are scum. Those who don’t know how big this responsibility is, but still have to shoulder it, are fools.'
He took a casual sip of the lemon tea, but somehow he didn't taste the sweetness and his mouth was full of sourness.
Hathaway raised her delicate eyebrows and said somewhat depressedly: "Georgina's family arranged a fiancé for her. She betrayed that engagement and her family. This pair of dependents
For an aristocratic lady whose family owns everything now, this kind of thing is like a death sentence, and it is impossible for Norton to marry Georgina..."
"There is a huge conflict between the Norton and Georgina families, and Norton also has a fiancée. The one you have met...is the Miss Darcy Christie."
He Boqiang was still somewhat impressed by Miss Christie's red hair, so he casually asked: "Is that the red-haired girl who left us on the wilderness hills?"
"Well, that's her!" Hathaway nodded, with red eyes and said, "She always thinks that I want to compete for her fiancé, so there are deep conflicts between our two small groups. If it weren't for these conflicts, I'm afraid we would be in danger.
When the time comes, we won’t be alone and have so many companions die..."
It seems that she has been feeling deep self-blame for those classmates who died in the wilderness hills.
He Boqiang felt that he should give her some appropriate persuasion, at least to help her get out of this mood, so he comforted her and said: "Maybe Christie and the others are born to be selfish people, and even if you don't have any conflicts, you won't come out to fight the evil spirits together.
"
Speaking of this, Hathaway's eyes became sharp again, and she said angrily: "All this is thanks to that scumbag Norton, so this time I just wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect it.
I got you involved, and luckily I have your help. There seems to be some holes in my plan. Maybe they will take advantage of me, but I’m not that easy to mess with."
He Boqiang asked curiously: "If it really comes to that point, you won't want to go under the knife, right?"
Hathaway narrowed her eyes again, her smile was like a wild cat, and said to He Boqiang: "The most I can do is scare them. We are all in the aristocratic circle of Bena Province, and no one wants to make a big deal out of it...
