"I don't know. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Arthur scratched his chin, "I thank you for your kindness. But...... You're here alone?"

"I'm not alone. Valentine smiled and said, "I think you can understand that the environment here is very dangerous for me, I have guards, but I accidentally separated from him in order to chase the long-tailed snowfinch." ”

"Oh, that doesn't sound like a proper guard. He shouldn't let you out of his sight under any circumstances. ”

Valentine hurriedly shook his head: "Oh no, it's not his fault, it's me who is not good, it was me who let me go in the opposite direction, and then we met in the same place, but I went too far, and the sudden snow covered my tracks, and I couldn't find my way back to the same place." ”

"So you don't really know how to get back?" Arthur laughed, "so you're still inviting me to your campsite?" ”

"You're mistaken. My guards will soon find me. ”

"You look confident in him. ”

"Yes. ”

"He's strong?"

"Enough to protect me. ”

While the two were talking, a shout suddenly came from a distance, and they looked at each other, and soon the sound of horses' hooves followed the shout, and the man saw the corpse of the bear lying in the river, and he hurried to Arthur's camp.

"Valentine!" the man jumped off his horse and ran directly to Valentine, lowering his body anxiously to check if his master was injured, "Are you okay!?

"I'm okay with Rhy, thanks to Arthur for saving me. Valentine smiled and patted the man on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

The man looked at Arthur and nodded lightly with an anxious gasp: "Thank you." ”

Arthur nodded his chin: "No thanks. ”

"Allow me to introduce you to it. "This is my bodyguard, Rees Widmore, my loyal friend and a companion I can trust," said Valentine politely. ”

Arthur looked at the man who had said "hello" to him and held out his hand.

He looks a few years younger than Valentine, but he also has obvious signs of age on his face. He and Valentine seem to be completely opposite types. He is tall and strong, with obvious muscle lines, with neat short silver-gray hair, wheat-colored skin, a cold and handsome face, and deep, dangerous gray-green eyes, which are watched by him, as if locked by a black panther, and seeing his smile, it is like seeing a big cat exposing its innocent and lovely nature, and can't help but want to touch and tease, even if the next moment, the big cat will open its mouth, expose its sharp teeth, and launch a deadly attack.

Arthur shook the man's hand: "Hello. ”

"It is my pleasure, Monsieur Montagu. ”

"Just call me Arthur. Arthur shrugged his shoulders, "Your master seems to be getting acquainted with strangers easily. ”

"That's his merit. Rhys smiled maturely, charmingly, and showed off his white, neat teeth, "He has many admirable qualities, but of course, he makes some mistakes, such as ignoring the advice of the guards, such as getting too focused on something and simply getting rid of the guards. ”

Rhys looked at Valentine.

"For example, when you are in danger, you don't know it, and when you get out of danger, you can't learn a lesson. ”

Seeing a hint of embarrassment in Valentine's expression, Arthur covered his mouth and laughed silently.

"Ahem, thank you for the affirmation and reminder, Mr. Widmore. ”

"For example, when he was angry with his guards, he would deliberately call him Mr. Widmore, instead of Rhys, who usually talked about him. ”

"Rhy!" Valentine's big eyes glared, and a pair of thin lips pursed tightly, looking like an angry rabbit.

Arthur burst out laughing.

It occurred to him later that it seemed like he hadn't laughed like this in a long time.

Seeing that Reese's "affirmation and reminder" was not finished, Arthur said that he was going to the forest to look for bait and leave for the time being, and the two would go back first. As for the invitation, although Arthur said yes, he had no intention of going.

After the two left, Arthur asked Nayin, who was working at the camp, to ask Jonathan if Rick had a friend named Valentine, and after some time Nayin told Arthur that Jonathan only said that Valentine was Rick's good friend, but kept silent about the rest, and she asked Old Husky again, and the other party did the same.

Rick knew that since Valentine was Rick's good friend, and there was a guard like Rhys who could see his strength at a glance, he was naturally not an ordinary person, and it was normal for Jonathan and Old Husky to refuse to tell his identity. Arthur doesn't care who Valentine is, he likes Valentine, but doesn't trust him yet.

Arthur had a faint feeling that his contact with Valentine was far from over.

His feelings were confirmed the next day.

Valentine, who had come to visit under the protection of Rhys, brought a small pot tightly wrapped in a towel, and hurried over with it, placing it in front of Arthur.

"This is the mushroom soup Reese made, I want you to try it. ”

As he spoke, Valentine opened the lid, and the delicious taste and aroma suddenly erupted, which was particularly attractive in the cold air.

"Although Rhys has been with weapons for many years, he is actually very good at fine things. ”

Valentine said proudly, and Rhys, who was standing in the back, looked a little embarrassed.

Arthur accepts Valentine's kindness and treats them to taste the bear jerky he made. It was from the bear that chased Valentine yesterday.

"I'm going to make something out of its fur, gloves, hats or something. Do you need it?" Arthur asked Valentine, "after all, you brought it here." ”

Valentine shook his head: "I'm not used to fur products. ”

Arthur looked at Rhys, who shook his head.

They sit around the campfire, eat the food, and gossip casually. Obviously they had just met, but Arthur didn't have the slightest sense of estrangement between the two of them, he liked to talk to them and like to be with them.

This discovery made Arthur a little uneasy. What's more, he smelled calm and comfortable from Valentine's body.

On the third day, Valentine came again, and Rhys did not come closer, but stood guard in the distance.

Valentine brings Arthur hot green tea, which he is proud of, and Arthur returns the favor with jerky.

On the fourth day, Valentine arrives again, this time for a portrait of Arthur, who remains motionless for a long time, and sees for the first time what Valentine looks like when he is concentrating on painting.

He thought that if Valentine had Rhy's physique, his focus would be on weapons and combat, and he would be a formidable warrior.

Although he had become more familiar, Arthur's uneasiness grew. He wasn't ready to like whom, who to get used to.
