In fact, there are many problems in the world that cannot be solved by killing. For example, a gun with full ammunition cannot help you make a choice about what to eat at night, or it cannot make a rebellious little girl go home quickly. And when these two problems come together, they become a significant problem.
In a restaurant on the street, Lorenzo looked at the glass that was covered with water droplets due to the heat. Pedestrians on the road were walking in the mist, like a lone boat sneaking in the sea of white mist. The street lights were on one by one, dizzy by the mist. The dye blooms, like tiny stars one after another.
"They must be looking for you all over the world."
Lorenzo turned his gaze and looked at the girl opposite him. It was obvious that she would become the so-called duchess in one month, but she didn't look like an adult at all and was very willful.
But if it is simply willful, it can be easily solved, but when the child is gifted and inherited by someone, everything becomes particularly complicated.
"Yahwei and I have an unspoken understanding. If he can't find me, he will give up, and I will go home safely before midnight, just like an unwritten rule."
"It seems that Yawei is also suffering from you."
"It's just a mutual compromise."
Seliu cut the food with a knife and put it into his mouth. His movements seemed a little awkward, as if he was not used to it.
A few years ago, Seleu was not living the life he is living now. He had nowhere to go in the cold night, hiding on the street corner and eating frozen bread. Even when he met Lorenzo, it became a journey of escape. Things, the changes in the past few years are simply dreamlike, even now when I think about it, it feels like a dream.
Lorenzo held his chin and relaxed extremely. The cold look on Seleu's face had always been her best disguise. Sometimes even Lorenzo couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"Are you still used to life?"
"You just have to do it, people have to adapt to their living environment, don't they?"
"Your 'reluctant force' is too much! Are you just trying to force the Duchess?"
Lorenzo glanced sideways at Seleu, this girl may not have been affected by wealth and her life has become boring, but it's also true that only when she gets tired of the luxurious banquet will she be interested in those strange things from the Far East.
"You taught me to remember what I once was."
Seleu didn't even bother to look at Lorenzo, maybe it was her indifferent temperament that kept her from reacting at all.
"It's all like an illusion. It's not as good as an ugly duckling turning into a phoenix."
She cut the food with the knife and ate all the food on the plate. She sat upright in the chair with a cold and stern temperament.
"Old Dun Ling, the beginning of a new life, if there really is a new life, you won't be a detective, right?"
"This is my lifelong dream, Seleu."
Lorenzo fought back hard, he was very persistent in his profession as a detective.
"A detective carrying a gun? In essence, he is still fighting and killing. He just uses the so-called detective as a disguise. We are very similar, Lorenzo. We will not believe the current situation. The only one we can trust is ourselves. , even a new life is just a beast resting and grinding its teeth, because he knows very well that this life is just a short-lived dream."
Lorenzo's face was reflected in the deep icy blue sea, with a bit of anger and confusion, just like the dead people who drowned under the ice sea.
Lorenzo trembled slightly, then raised his index finger and shook it vigorously.
"No, no, no, Seleu, you are spying on me again. You will have no friends if you do this."
This damn girl, she seems to have magic power, no one can escape from that look. If she has talent, then this word must belong to Seleu.
Seliu didn't say anything more, he just moved his eyes away and looked out the hazy window. The water droplets condensed into large pieces on the glass and slid down tightly. Paths cut the entire mirror surface, and there was light shining through.
Psychedelic look.
After a long period of silence, Lorenzo suddenly asked.
"Then Seleu, why do you think all this is just a dream? You will become the Duchess of Stuart in one month. The whole old Dunling will celebrate you, and the nobles of the Stuart group will
He will become your knight, and even in a few years you will become the most powerful person in Old Dunling."
"You are no longer that kid shivering on the street corner, and you won't be that anymore, so what are you afraid of?"
They are similar people, with similar troubles and confusions. This may be why Lorenzo picked up Seleu in that alley, just like he gave to those orphans.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
Seleucid did not answer Lorenzo's words, but asked again in his own way, and Lorenzo did not answer.
She stood up, and the corners of her mouth on her expressionless face reluctantly raised in a weak arc.
"I had a great time tonight, see you next time."
Lorenzo raised his eyebrows slightly. To be honest, it is difficult to feel the emotional changes from Seliu's small face. Sometimes Lorenzo would feel that her face was paralyzed.
It was as if the conversation just now didn't exist. The two similar people had a tacit understanding and forgot about the unpleasantness, Lorenzo asked.
"I'll take you back."
"No need, Yahweh is already here."
Seliu pointed at the door. The doorbell had just rang. The old butler stood there like a lion. Although he was old, his broad body still blocked the entrance and exit. Look at the bulge on the black clothes. According to the shape
,Lorenzo guessed it was a gun.
"Then...goodbye."
Lorenzo waved his hand at Seliu, but his eyes had to fall on Yawei. The old butler had been staring at him since he came in, and the resentment and hostility were almost solidified.
Lorenzo even thought that maybe there would be barrages after Seleu went out, so that he could keep this annoying guy here forever.
Fortunately, none of this happened until the black limo left.
Seliu was nestled in the comfortable back seat, and the scenery outside the window slowly changed. Yawei was too tall, so he had to hunch up while sitting in the car.
"Well...don't you like the party?"
Yawei waited for a long time and asked in an old voice.
"No, I just want to go to that exhibition today."
Seliu gently tilted his head and leaned next to Yawei. The water droplets on the window were pulled into threads and spread to places where Seliu could not see.
"Please let me know if you need anything."
"You are good enough, Yahweh."
Seliu shook his head, thinking about it carefully, everything was actually fine.
When she first became Stuart's child, Seleu was actually very scared. She didn't know what she was afraid of. She was like a frightened fawn rushing around. At that time, she brought a lot of things to Yawei.
Big trouble, because living in that cold corner, Seliu's ability to survive is stronger than he imagined.
Yawei searched for her for a long time that night, and finally saw the child sleeping on the straw in the stable. Yawei told her that if she didn't get used to it, everything could be changed. Then the old housekeeper hid in Seleucid
Blankets and pillows were provided everywhere we went.
From that time on, Seleu felt that the old butler was actually not a bad person, but his way of expressing himself was a bit clumsy, as if he was threatening Lorenzo with a gun all day long.
That may have been the beginning of her compromise on everything.
