18. Chapter XVIII

Darcy felt that he had no masochistic tendencies, and that he was not Charles Bingley.

Elizabeth Bennett saw a lot of things in Elizabeth Bennett's eyes, disgust, disdain and anger, and she hid them well, even hiding them with worry, but as sharp as he was, he still found them.

Leo was so frightened that he almost threw Miss Caroline off that day. Body, its eyes were full of anger and forbearance, and Darcy could see it, which is why he was so angry and said heavy words.

Because I'm worried about Miss Caroline, because I'm worried about Leo.

But it felt like it couldn't be fooled, and when Darcy saw Miss Bennett's eyes, he unconsciously had a strange feeling, and it was clear that he and the young lady had spoken no more than five sentences in total.

It's so uncomfortable.

They had lived in Netherfield Manor for a long time, and they saw that it was slowly entering late autumn, and the countryside at night had a different taste, and the west wind was gradually weakening.

Caroline shrunk her neck, she felt she needed a shawl, or she chose to go back to her room.

She stirred the glass of milk, which was beginning to cool down, and said tentatively, "Sir, do you think Miss Elizabeth's eyes are peculiar?" "For example, it is beautiful and attracts you!

Darcy was slightly stunned, "...... Well. "Like to use it to express dissatisfaction?

"Then sir, I ask you bluntly, do you have a crush on Miss Elizabeth?"

After Caroline finished speaking, she stared at the other party tightly, for fear of missing the slightest expression of his face.

When Darcy heard this, he immediately furrowed his brows, his face was very unsightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Miss Caroline! Please don't make such jokes! I haven't wanted to surrender myself to that yet! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sir, love knows no boundaries, has nothing to do with class, and has nothing to do with identity. "That's what Aunt Austin said, and it has nothing to do with her.

Who knew that Darcy frowned even more, "Miss, as far as I know, you have not felt love, and if you have someone to admire, that's a different matter. First of all, love is unlikely to happen to me, and I, Fitzwilliam Darcy, would never accept a ...... Miss like that! This is ridiculous! ”

It had been a long time since Mr. Darcy had spoken to her in such a cold tone, and Caroline was stunned on the spot, her face a little ugly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Caroline turned her gaze away, let go of the hand that was stirring the milk, pulled the hem of her skirt, and nodded lightly, "Yes, I understand sir." Forgive me for talking too much, please don't take it to heart. ”

Darcy's heart moved, and he unconsciously clenched his back teeth.

"This is just the opinion of me, a young lady who has never experienced love, sir, don't care too much, then, I will go back to my room to rest." With that, without waiting for the other to reply, she got up and went up the stairs, leaving Darcy to sit there alone in a daze.

Is it a delusion?

He seemed to hear the meaning in Miss Caroline's tone, sadness and disappointment?

What is she sad about? And disappointed by what?

Darcy knew he was mean, but he had never been so mean to his friend, but the moment Miss Caroline got up, he regretted it.

Yes, he shouldn't have said such mean things about her, she was just a young lady.

No matter how you look at the phrase "I have never experienced love", is Miss Caroline dissatisfied with herself?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Look at yourself Darcy, you've messed up one more thing!

Obviously you just want to find a friend to talk about, but you hurt the other party with your arrogance and meanness!

Darcy's face was black and red, and his heart was constantly filled with guilt, regret and overwhelm, and he was so worried that Miss Caroline would be angry with him because of this, so that he ignored the most essential thoughts in his heart.

Also, all night he had been thinking about Miss Caroline's words, did he really like Miss Elizabeth Bennett!?

A young lady with such a family and identity!? Spare him, O God!

What was Caroline thinking?

She was sad and disappointed.

It's sad that I was satirized by the male god, and I'm disappointed that the original plot is not reliable at all.

Caroline sighed, threw herself onto the bed, and after blowing out the candle at the bedside, the room fell into darkness.

It is true that she has not experienced love, but this does not mean that she does not have her first love.

The senior on campus who can play basketball and likes to wear a white shirt and smiles is such a clichΓ© plot, but there is no way, I always like such people when I was a student.

But in the end, time told her that she was just looking forward to such a senior.

She thought that Aunt Austin's people should have a magnetic field that others couldn't stop, but the truth gave her a big slap in the face.

And she's a little angry...... Even Charles didn't talk to her badly, okay!

Secretly touching her back molars, Caroline pulled the quilt over her head and rolled over to sleep.

Very well, from today Mr. Darcy you have been pulled off the altar by me!

###

Jane's illness has not yet recovered, so she always stays in the room and refuses to come out, Elizabeth wants to accompany her, but she shakes her head, "We are invited guests Licui, so it is a bit rude not to show up." ”

Elizabeth thought of Louisa's disgust, Darcy's arrogance, and Hearst's stupidity, and suddenly showed a subtle mocking expression on her face, but when she thought of Jane on the side, she restrained a lot.

"Oh! My Jiying, you may be right! But I really don't want to face them, you know, not everybody is as friendly to us as Mr. Charles Bingley. ”

She thought of Miss Caroline, who was always a decent young lady from a big city, and Elizabeth felt keenly aware of the difference between her and herself.

How do you say it? Although she can be friends, she is not a person of the world, she has to admit that she has some jealousy, how can there be such a young lady?

If Caroline had a bad temper and was not good-looking, Elizabeth felt that even if she had such a fortune of a few thousand pounds a year and a handsome brother, it would be useless. However, Miss Caroline was obviously of a good character, and very intelligent, and very good-looking, and Elizabeth glanced at Jane, and consoled herself with the fact that she was inferior to her sister.

Envy and a sense of distance made Elizabeth a little restrained in front of Caroline every time, unlike the sarcastic Mr. Darcy and Louisa, she was a little helpless against this young lady who always smiled sweetly and looked at her eyes shining.

Jane looked at her sister's expression and burst out laughing, and then thought of what she had just said about Mr. Bingley, and couldn't help but blush, "Okay, Licui, let's go." ”

Elizabeth's Grudge Face: ...... QAQ

There was not much in the hall when she went down, and Charles Bentley had heard that he had gone to the captain's house to fetch something, and Mr. Hearst was in the room, and Louisa was pretending to be eating freshly washed fruit, and Caroline and Mr. Darcy were reading.

Elizabeth's footsteps paused, she had been here for two or three days, and she had basically figured out the daily life of these people, it was too monotonous! She screamed inwardly, at least, as a young lady, why shouldn't she be interested in the small shop in the town?!

Oh, she forgot about it, maybe something in London is a hundred times better than here.

Thinking so, the corners of her mouth slid down another meter.

Darcy was flipping through the book when he accidentally saw Miss Elizabeth Bennett on the side of the stairs, he nodded expressionlessly as a greeting, and Caroline noticed the movement and raised her head, "Miss Bennett?" ”

Listen, it's really a distant title.

But she was more accustomed to people like Miss Caroline than to Mr. Charles Bingley's self-acquaintance.

"Miss Bingley, Mr. Darcy, good afternoon."

She sat down on the couch next to Caroline and chatted with her, and Darcy sat across from her as if she hadn't heard her.

Elizabeth and Caroline chatted about the ball, then Charlotte, and finally about the talents of the young ladies, and Elizabeth exclaimed, "The young ladies of these days are both talented and beautiful. ”

Caroline nodded, "Yes, Mr. Darcy's sister is like that, and Georgiana is a beautiful little lady, and her piano skills are amazing!" ”

"Really?" Elizabeth blinked, curious about what kind of sister the arrogant Mr. Darcy would have.

Darcy looked up from the book and glanced at Caroline thoughtfully, "When it comes to talent, some people are just good at it, and there are no more than five or six of the young ladies I know who are truly talented. ”

When he saw that the two young ladies were looking at him, he added for some reason, "I don't see many really talented young ladies like Miss Caroline, and I may not find many in the whole of London." ”

Elizabeth was slightly stunned, this arrogant tone really made it a little difficult to talk, but ...... This Mr. Darcy is unexpectedly cute, huh? Is he currying favor with Miss Caroline?!

Caroline twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, Mr. Darcy, what are you doing here, I won't forgive you for such a blatant compliment!

Louisa lifted her chin haughtily, and she interjected, "As Mr. Darcy said, a young lady of many talents is rare. A young lady needs to learn piano skills, singing, drawing, dancing and perfect use of language, and she must always maintain a perfect expression of conversation, perfect manners and steps, always pay attention to her dress and movements, delicate and elegant. This is worthy of the title of Miss Versatile! What do you think Caroline and Miss Georgiana are doing on a regular basis? Discuss in a small shop in the country which hat has a tassel that goes well with your makeup today? ”

Caroline gave Louisa an embarrassed look, what was she doing! Didn't you see that Mr. Darcy was just complimenting himself?! Luisa, I really can't bear to say that, and Miss Elizabeth is still here, you are embarrassing me, huh, QAQ

"No, sister, you're exaggerating. I can't do enough of what you're talking about......"

"In addition to these, you should also read more books and enrich yourself with connotation."

Darcy and Caroline spoke at the same time, and his meaning was clear, he was talking about Caroline, although there was some compliment in it at first, but the more he talked about it, the more he felt that such words were correct.

Although Miss Caroline was not always as serious as the average young lady, she was lively and cheerful, and the occasional little prank was harmless, and he still had some faint pleasure in it.

Darcy couldn't help but curl up at the thought of Miss Caroline's big, sparkling eyes when she was clever.

It's cute, isn't it?
