The dawn of dawn has not yet penetrated the heavy clouds, the whole land is in darkness, and the cold breath inhaled into the lungs makes people feel that the body has become transparent and refreshed from the inside out.

Without the crowing of the rooster or the noise of the alarm clock, Lird had already opened his eyes and climbed out of bed, and it can be said that he had not fully fallen asleep all night, and the things in his heart naturally could not make him relax and rest with all his heart, and besides, he felt faintly anticipatory and excited about what was coming.

In less than four hours, he boarded a transoceanic ferry and headed to a whole new country – India!

It had been almost three days since Jim's visit, and three nights earlier, Leard had finally persuaded Mr. Wyatt to allow him to travel to India.

Still, Wyatt kept his objections to it, but it didn't help him to avoid Lird's insistence.

In the past few days, Wyatt Manor has been in a relatively depressed state, including all the servants, who have already felt this special strangeness, and they are buried in their work one by one, not daring to gather in public to talk about anything privately.

Mrs. Wyatt, who had always been mild-mannered, also had a sad look on her face, and looked extremely sad. Although she also advised Lird not to venture to India five times or three times, these were ultimately rejected by Lird, and Lird's determination to do so was unusually strong.

For more than two days, Jenny never showed up, and Lird knew that his resolute departure must have annoyed her, and Lird wanted to explain something, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to take the initiative to see Jenny.

There was a faint feeling in Liard's heart that if there was one person who could keep himself in America, it would be Jeanne!

Standing by the window, Lird thought about all this in his head, then shook his head in a vain attempt to put these troubles behind him, took two deep breaths of cold air, and finally felt better.

At this moment, there was a sudden low knock on the door, which surprised Lird a little, and he had the impression that the people in the whole manor did not have such a knocking technique, but then he thought that perhaps some of the servants wanted to wake him up, but did not want to alarm others, so he whispered and walked to the door.

Just as he opened the door, a dark shadow slammed in, and Lird was caught off guard by the impact, and almost fell to the ground, and just as Lird was about to exclaim, a cold, delicate palm was pressed to his mouth.

"Shhhhhh ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Lird finally quieted down, he could already hear that it was Anne, although he did not know what Anne wanted to do at this time, but fortunately she was not a person with bad intentions.

After Jenny turned around and closed the door softly, Lird said, "What are you doing? What are you doing at this time suddenly running into my room? And it's so secretive, it looks more like you're going to the White House to steal classified documents." ”

Jenny pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "I don't bother to know the secret of the White House, of course I'm looking for you!"

"What are you looking for me?" said Liard, looking suspiciously at Jenny in the darkness.

Jenny snorted coldly, and then punched Lird in the chest.

"Don't fill me with garlic, don't you know what's going on these days? Hmph, you're going to leave here for India with that unidentified person in less than a few hours!"

Hearing this, Lird lowered his head a little guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Jenny, I know I'm a little crazy to make such a decision, but I hope you can understand..."

"I understand you!" said Jenny, cheerfully, much to Liard's surprise.

Jenny said: "You don't go to India to do anything bad, but to see your father for the last time, what's wrong with that?" Speaking of this, Jenny sighed and said, "Although my relationship with my father is not good, if he is also in Uncle Pym's situation, I will not hesitate to go there." ”

"But I can understand my parents' objections, after all, India is so chaotic, they absolutely can't rest assured, it's not that they don't care about Uncle Pym's safety, but they want you to be okay in comparison, so please don't blame them. ”

Lird was quite surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Jenny, who was not subject to the management of heaven and earth, would say such warm words, which really surprised Liard.

Then Lird smiled lightly: "I naturally understand these truths, I have been able to obtain such a high quality of life in the past two years, all thanks to Mr. Wyatt's selfless help, until now he is completely thinking about me, I am very grateful to him." ”

Jenny smiled and said, "That's good." ”

After that, Jenny straightened up and stomped her feet and said: "I am the fairest person, you are all my closest people, I have a very position in front of this kind of thing, I respect your ideas about your trip to India, but on the other hand, you must also respect my decision." ”

"What... Decision?" Lird suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

But seeing Jenny said very seriously, "I'm going to go to India!"

"Huh?" For a moment, Lird couldn't believe his ears.

Jenny shook her head and said, "What's the surprise, isn't it?"

"Of course not!" said Lird.

"What are you going to do with me in India? I have something to do, do you have it? Besides, does Mr. Wyatt agree to such a thing?"

"Shhhh!!h

"I've said it before, be quiet, be quiet!" said Jenny, fiercely waiting for Lird.

"Of course my parents don't know, they don't allow you to go to India, so how can they let me go? ”

Lird looked in the direction of Jenny's finger, but saw a black suitcase on the ground beside him. Lird suddenly understood why Jenny had such a powerful impact when she first opened the door.

"You've got your luggage ready?" said Lird, surprised.

Jenny smiled and said, "Hehe, it's amazing, I've been secretly preparing everything for the past two days, and I assure you that everything is unaware." ”

"Ridiculous!" reprimanded Lird.

Jenny suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, you dare to speak to me in such a tone, beware of me hitting you." ”

However, this time her intimidation had no effect on Lird, who immediately reprimanded: "Jenny, you have to make it clear that I am not going to India for sightseeing or drinking, even from the newspapers and radio, you should know something about the Indian environment, and it is definitely not a place for you to go." ”

Jenny pouted angrily: "What's the matter? I'm already so old, what danger will I be afraid of? I have the ability to protect myself, don't worry, I will never be a burden to you!"

Lird shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not a question of whether it's cumbersome or not, my safety when I arrive in India can be said to be a huge problem." And you can't adapt to the environment there, so to speak... It's hard to move an inch. ”

When Jenny heard this, a layer of tears oozed from her eyes and said, "In your eyes, am I so weak?

Looking at Jenny's aggrieved and delicate appearance, Liard's heart was a little unbearable and pitying, and gently put his hand on Jenny's shoulder, Lird said in a soft tone: "Jenny, I don't mean to despise or underestimate you, it's just that I don't want you to be in such a dangerous place needlessly." ”

"What does that mean being in danger senselessly? I just want to be by your side. Jenny's seriousness was filled with painful sadness, and she looked at Lird with infinite sorrow.

Lird sighed and said, "I can't miss you too, including Mr. Wyatt, Mrs. Wyatt, and even the rest of the manor, and I'm sure I'll miss you intensely throughout the journey, but I will never let you fall into such a desperate situation." ”

Jenny looked at Lird, and after a moment said, "Am I like everyone else in your heart?"

"Huh?" Lird was stunned for a moment, looking at Jenny's watery eyes, and Lird felt that his heart had stopped beating a few beats.

"Uh... Of course it's different, you're so smart... Lovely... Outstanding... And of course very naughty. ”

I didn't want Jenny to have the slightest chance to be sloppy, so I said straightly: "Is that all? Then let me ask you more bluntly, do you like me?"

Liard's pupils suddenly shrank, and the whole person was stunned.

"Do you like me?" asked Jenny, looking directly at Lirdaught, again.

Lird grinned, then said, "Of course I like it, haha... How could I not like you?"

Jenny shook her head and said, "You understand I'm talking about that like." Why, since you have the courage to go to India, but you don't dare to face your heart?"

Liald was speechless for a moment, and as the minutes ticked by, the room was in a state of solidification.

It was only in the room that Lird's voice sounded, and the answer was only two words.

Like.

Time stood still once again, as if nothing had just happened.

The silence was broken by Jenny's genuine smile, and she fell into Lird's arms, and Lird's arms wrapped around Jenny's body.

"You... When did you find out you liked me?" asked Jenny softly.

Recalling what had happened not long ago, Lird blushed a little, and naturally he would not tell Jenny that it was Gerald who made him discover the special feelings he had for Jenny, but he soon remembered that day at Marge's grandmother's funeral, Jenny's warmth helped him who was constantly trembling, and soon that indifferent warmth surrounded Lird.

"Not so long ago," Lird said with a wry smile.

"Then why don't you say that?" asked Jenny, rather dissatisfied.

"Uh... It's just that... I'm embarrassed to say it—" Lird grew more and more embarrassed, and the hot heat had spread from his face to his ears.

"Huh, coward!" said Jenny, pouting unpleasantly.

"And what about you?" asked Lird in the same way.

"Three days ago!" said Jenny, briskly.

"Uh... How?" asked Lird.

Jenny snorted a few times, and then said: "I have never seriously considered my feelings for you before, and the two years of getting along with you have made me too familiar with you, so that this familiarity has seriously affected my judgment of your feelings, in my eyes you have always been my brother, playmate, good friend... All in all, there is no such feeling. ”

"But three nights ago, when I learned that you were leaving the United States for India, I was completely overwhelmed. ”

"I don't know what to do with you, what to say to you, whether I'm for or against your decision. I could only run back to my room, shut myself in, and think about it all in a daze, my mind recalling the past two years we had spent together, carefully recalling all the details. Call... At that time, I realized that I had thought I was wrong about your feelings, and I like..."Speaking of which, Jenny suddenly noticed Lird's smiling gaze, suddenly stopped her confession, punched Lird in the chest and shouted, "Don't laugh!"

But Lird couldn't restrain himself and laughed at the moment, and Jenny had to hide in his arms with a red face.

Two young people who understood each other's intentions hugged each other after the fight, enjoying their belated beauty.

"I will definitely come back safely. Lird said firmly to Jenny.

Jenny looked up at Lirdes and said, "But..."

"Nothing!" said Lird, who flatly interrupted Jenny's words.

"Under no circumstances will I take you to India, neither to you nor to Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt, nor will I allow myself to do so, for I do not want to create something that I will regret forever because of my confusion. ”

Jenny bowed her head wordlessly, and when the girl showed her heart to her lover, no matter how hard the "shell" she had before, it would eventually fall off and show her weakest side.

Suddenly, Jenny looked up at Learde and said, "What if... I beg you not to leave the United States for India, will you say yes?"

Lird was stunned when he heard this, and the thing that he had been worried about finally happened.

After hesitating for a long time, Lird nodded slowly.

When she saw Lird's answer, tears instantly filled Jenny's eyes.

Jenny raised her swan-like white neck, kissed her lips gently on Liard's forehead, and said softly, "Thank you, you have touched me more than any thousand words of love. ”

He leaned his head on Lird's chest and said, "But don't worry, I won't ask you to do that." I love you and I know you at the same time, and I don't want to kidnap you and imprison your soul and heart with myself. Go to India, face whatever you ask you to face, leave no regrets, and then come back safely..."
