Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lies or Explanations
Without the slightest hesitation, he replied, "I promise you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Natsume instantly put down the stone in his heart, and his voice became brisk, "Haha, you agreed?" Then you can't have any questions about what I ask, just answer me directly, okay?"
"Good".
More smoothly than expected, Natsume began to carefully organize the wording, scratching his ears and cheeks for about a minute before speaking, "...... Cheng Yang's birthday, what gift are you going to give"?
Ling Haochen didn't expect Natsume to ask about this, don't they all know what gift to give? Although his heart was full of questions, he still didn't ask, because he promised Natsume to answer the question directly.
Watch.
Ling Haochen sent a watch? Could this be the old rule in Cheng Yang's mouth? Nothing new, huh? Is the brand unique?
Natsume couldn't think of anything, so he inquired carefully: "...... Gone? That...... What brand of watch is sent"?
Don't you really know? How could you not know what else to send? These words were churning in Ling Haochen's heart over and over again, but he didn't question them.
His tone was no longer calm, and there was a slight wave of "the brand, and ......"
Natsume waited for him to continue, but he didn't follow for a long time, and he understood that he still had doubts, and sighed, sure enough, he was too reluctant to do so.
"Well, don't you think I'm weird? It's like a night fence and it's not like a night fence"?
"Yes", a very honest answer.
"Hehe, I knew it was going to be like this......"
Ling Haochen couldn't bear her sad tone, and wanted to say something, but he could only say that it was not like this, and then he couldn't think of anything else......
"Shh~ Listen to me, in fact, I am also strange, I don't know why I forgot everything and everyone on the morning I woke up on Monday, I don't know where I slept, where I was here, what era it was, I only knew that I was called Night Fence.
When my mother called me, I was terrified because I had forgotten her, and I didn't know how to talk to her so that I wouldn't find out that I was a night fence with no memory.
I'm also afraid of the school, of you, and I don't know how to speak and act so as not to arouse your suspicions...... I can feel that Cheng Yang is my best friend, so I didn't refuse his invitation, but the 'old rules' in his mouth are something I can't think of anyway, my head is about to explode or I don't have a clue, and I even hate my current self a little.
Because you are the favorite brother of the night fence with memories, I came to ask you, so that if you find out my difference, you will also protect me and escort me.
This is my current situation, it's a night fence and it's not a night fence, can you keep this secret for me"?
Ling Haochen felt that she must have been hallucinating, something like this happened to Xiao Li, he had always wanted to protect well, how scared she should have been the moment she woke up! And he wasn't around, he didn't protect her.
Thinking back on everything that had happened this week, he only felt deep remorse, how frightened and worried she should have been this week, the environment that was completely unfamiliar to her, and the fact that she had to deal with friends she didn't know.
Ling Haochen was silent for a long time, this moment passed for a long time, and he was so distressed that he couldn't breathe. Suppressing the sourness in his heart hard, his voice seemed unreal, and he was a little choked, "...... For me, whether you remember it or not, it's my little fence...... Don't worry, I will help you keep it a secret, because I am your brother Haochen."
Listening to Ling Haochen's voice, Natsume regretted that she had said this explanation with lies, she didn't expect him to blame himself so much. But the words are like water that has been spilled and cannot be taken back, so they can only accept his good intentions.
"Thank you".
"Silly girl, thank you, this is what I should do, don't worry about tomorrow, sleep well, don't think too much."
Tomorrow's matter is settled, Natsume hung up the phone with peace of mind, and prepared to go to wash and sleep.
Ling Haochen, who hung up the phone on the other side, couldn't sleep at all, and Natsume's words echoed in his mind over and over again.
He opened the balcony door and lay down on the chaise longue on the balcony, blowing the biting wind of the night, and in the moonlight, his figure cast a shadow alone.
And so he didn't sleep all night.
Natsume woke up early, attending this kind of rich man's birthday party for the first time in her life, and she was a little apprehensive, afraid that she would not be able to make a joke.
Open all the wardrobes and choose carefully, it's time for breakfast, and she hasn't chosen yet. Night Mom had already urged three or four times, and she only said right away.
"Ah, you kid don't usually do that! It's so slow to pick out clothes, haven't you been studying too much lately"?
Night Mom went up to the third floor as she spoke, and entered Natsume's bedroom.
"Mom, how can it be so exaggerated, I don't want to embarrass our family for so long."
In the end, I chose clothes with the help of my night mother, and then went downstairs for breakfast.
Just as they were having breakfast, the doorbell rang, and Mother Zhao hurriedly ran to the entrance to open the door, and then Natsume heard "Young Master Ling, you are here", and she was a little uncomfortable, I don't know what he was doing early in the morning.
Absentmindedly, he nibbled on the toast in his hand, and his eyes kept glancing at the door of the restaurant.
Seeing Ling Haochen come in, he immediately put his eyes on the thing in his hand, pretending not to know that he had come in.
Dad Ye was very happy with Ling Haochen's arrival, and spoke first, "Xiao Ling is here, didn't you eat breakfast?" Come sit down and eat together."
Ling Haochen stared at Natsume as soon as he came in, and only looked away for a moment when he answered Yedad's words, and then his eyes moved to Natsume after answering.
Night Dad and Night Mom went to work, Ling Haochen sat in the living room and waited for Natsume to change his clothes and come down.
Natsume changed her clothes and went downstairs, she didn't know if Ling Haochen had prepared a gift, she might need to buy it now, so she didn't dare to waste time.
She wore her hair smoothly behind her back today, wearing a white sleeveless dress with lotus-like tulle decoration on her chest, and the waist was just right, perfectly showing off her willow waist, and the wrinkled skirt showed her jade-like knees from time to time as she walked, and if you didn't look closely, her white feet made people forget that she was still wearing a pair of white flat sandals.
At the age of 16, the age of flowers, the body that has not yet grown exudes a youthful and beautiful atmosphere.
This summer outfit does not have a sense of disobedience with autumn at all, but looks more harmonious.
Ling Haochen stared at Natsume who was slowly walking down motionlessly, his eyes were full of amazement, less playful, and more cold, making Natsume look like a queen.
He walked over and took out the necklace he had prepared and put it on her neck, the necklace was all silver and white, with a white swan hanging on it, its head held proudly high, and its wings were embedded with a shining diamond, which matched Natsume's clothes today.
After putting on the necklace, he stretched out a right hand and held Natsume's left hand tightly, "Let's go"!
Natsume looked at the necklace around his neck and asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" Question, don't believe it, don't you have it"?
"I believe in you", and then followed Natsume's movements last night, putting a finger on his lips, "Shhh~ Don't talk, let's go".
Natsume asked, "Should I go to the birthday party now, or should I go buy a gift first?"
Ling Haochen smiled mysteriously, "Take you somewhere."
