Chapter 31: A Hundred Bouquets of Roses

Theodore sighed and continued: "Over the past twenty years, various countries have continued to rise and become stronger, and today's alliances are only formal alliances. The Dragon Kingdom is a traditional powerhouse, and the strength of the army is the strongest in the entire alliance. Ningguo is good at trade and is unique in terms of economy. The Tree Country is good at manufacturing and controls the headquarters of the Holy Alliance. As for the Fog Country, Snow Country, Sand Country, and Beast Country, their geographical locations are all far away from Maple Leaf Harbor and difficult to reach. Just as today, the representatives of the Fog Country and the Sand Country left directly and rudely, and the Dragon Country directly gained the dominance of this war through its strong military forces, and the other four countries were unwilling to contribute, but they wanted to get something in return. Now the alliance is shattered, and I am only doing my best to maintain the last holy alliance. ”

"For the sake of a shattered sacred alliance, is that so?" Zhu Huan asked, "Can't you find someone to replace you?"

Theodore stopped and looked at the two beauties behind him and said, "Give up, no matter what becomes of the Alliance, I will not give up its former glory." Because he is the whole of my life, and I sacrificed everything for him. Theodore's eyes seemed to burn with two flames, burning his soul, "As for the successor, I dare say that until now, there is still no one who can be recognized by me. ”

"Mr. Theodore can see it very clearly!" Zhu Huan pursed his lips and sighed, "Then are you going to hold on until the person you approve of appears?"

Theodore nodded, the silver hairpin shining under his white hair, and he opened the door for Zhuhuan and Cecilia, "If I can wait until that day, I believe I will be happy." Theodore squinted at the sunlight shining through the crystal glass.

Cecilia and Zhu Huan walked out of the conference hall and said to Theodore by the door in the crystal corridor, "It seems that Mr. is going to stay for a while?"

"Yes, the sun is shining today, and if you have time, you should still be able to soak up the sun on the beach in Maple Leaf Harbor. ”

"This sunshine is really beautiful!" Zhu Huan smiled, the ice blue of the crystal was projected throughout the corridor, and the slender figures of the two were engraved in the picture scroll, "Mr. Theodore also likes the sun!"

Cecilia saw Theodore's old figure standing in the sunlight, with a kind smile on his face.

"Let's go first, Mr. Theodore. Cecilia patted Zhu Huan on the shoulder and said, "So you're the last one to leave the venue!"

Zhu Huan said goodbye to Mr. Theodore: "Goodbye, I hope you have a happy day." ”

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best and enjoy the warm sunshine. Theodore stood at the door of the conference room and waved goodbye to the two.

Watching Cecilia and Zhuhuan's backs disappear at the end of the corridor, Theodore seemed to see his former shadow in them, but it was all in the past.

He straightened the silver hairpin around his ear and tried to raise his head and chest, only to find that he was an old dragon clock. He stood in front of the crystal glass, looking down on the entire Maple Leaf Harbor, with tears in his eyes.

【Sacred Tree Country, Maple Leaf Harbor, Hall Beach】

On the beautiful beach of Hall, pedestrians come and go. The sea breeze gently blows the broken waves, and the tutu birds fly by the sky. The dazzling sunlight shone onto the sea, shining like a glitter in a blue gemstone.

The cold fan was dressed in a dark purple robe, wrapping his thin body tightly.

Masfield held an umbrella and stood beside the cold fan.

Leng Mi looked at the sunlight reflected in the sea, but Masefield stared at Leng Mi with a brown umbrella.

They were silent and did not speak.

Leng Mi said that she wanted to come to see the sea and look at the dazzling sunshine. Maesfield agreed to take her to Maple Leaf Harbour's most beautiful Hole Beach.

But what the people of the fog country are most afraid of is the dazzling sun. The sun can burn their fragile skin, burn their retina, and blind them. But they were still standing here, wearing opaque black umbrellas, wearing thick clothes, and wearing scarves to wrap their eyes tightly.

"Cold, it's time for us to go back. Maesfield whispered, "You've been in the sun for a long time." ”

Leng Fan let out a long sigh and asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother, why do you say that we people in the Fog Country are afraid of the sun?"

"You've asked me this question many times. ”

"But I'm still confused. ”

The people of the Fog Country are afraid of the sun because they are born to live in damp and dark rainforest swamps, and their sticky, cold skin simply cannot tolerate ultraviolet rays.

No one doesn't love sunshine, but there are people who can never embrace it. This is the fate of the people of the Fog Country.

Maesfield took Leng Mi with his right hand, let her lean into his arms, and said gently: "Don't doubt, if you want to stay a little longer, I will accompany you." ”

Leng Mi leaned against his brother's chest, hearing his steady heartbeat, her cheeks were slightly red, if it weren't for the scarf covering her face, she would have been flushed at this moment.

Mesfield's fingertips slid slowly over his long blue-purple hair, and the scent of vanilla filled the air.

He still remembers the first time he saw Leng Fan when he was eighteen years old, and Leng Mi was only twelve years old at that time.

They are half-siblings.

At first glance, Mesfield was attracted by the cold temperament of the cold fan, and the cold fan was also moved by the gentleness of Masefield. After the death of their parents, Mesfield and his sister fell apart.

Mesfield did not marry until he was thirty years old, and he was not in a relationship at twenty-four. At the age of thirty-two, Mesfield became the representative of the Fog Cabinet, and that was the year that Leng Mi became the inheritor of the Fog Country's spiritual artifact and the inheritor of the old leaf demon full lamp. They are inseparable, guarding their country and people in the Coalition Cabinet on behalf of the Fog Country.

In the eyes of the people of the Fog Country, the two of them are heroes, saving the only remaining dignity of the Fog Country.

But Leng Fan's wish is to just enjoy the warm sunshine with his brother, and he is no longer afraid of the pain when ultraviolet rays burn his skin. Mesfield only wants his sister to live happily ever after.

Leng Fan raised his head, saw Mesfield's warm gaze, and asked shyly, "Do you think we made the right choice this time?"

"Whether it's right or not, since you've already made a choice, why care about right or wrong?" Maesfield stretched out his hand and gently scraped the bridge of Leng Mi's nose with his little finger, and said, "You are no longer the little girl you used to be, and you should understand." ”

Leng Mi threw down the black umbrella in his hand, hugged Mesfield's strong body, buried his head in his arms, and said happily: "Actually, I am satisfied with you, I'm really happy that you can accompany me today." ”

Masfield held an umbrella, shielded herself from the sun, touched her head, and said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary spiritual magician, and you are the inheritor of spiritual weapons." Where do you look like the seven strongest psics in the Alliance?"

"No matter who I am, you will always be the one I love the most!" said the sneer with a smile, his beautiful face rubbing back and forth against Masefield's chest.

Mesfield looked helpless, so he had to hold an umbrella and let his sister be coquettish in his arms.

When a young man from the tree country who sold flowers saw Mesfield holding an umbrella and holding the girl in his arms, he had an idea, rushed to them with a large handful of roses, and said loudly: "This brother, do you want to buy a bouquet of roses? You and this beautiful sister are really a good match!"

"How much does a bouquet of roses cost?" asked Maesfield.

"No more, no less, just three dollars. The young man smiled at the cold fan and said, "These roses are varieties introduced from the Wanhua Tide, and they are very beautiful." ”

"Do you like roses?" asked Masfield, to the cold fan in his arms.

Leng Mi lay in Maysfield's arms and shook his head, but did not speak.

Maysfield held an umbrella and asked the boy, "Excuse me, how many bouquets of roses do you have?"

"A hundred bouquets of roses. The boy readily agreed.

"I'll give you three hundred dollars, and you can sell me all the roses, okay?"

The boy couldn't believe his ears, for he hadn't sold a single rose to-day, so he asked him again, "Sir, I heard you right, are you going to buy all the roses?

The boy glanced at Messfield and the cold fan, and it didn't look like it was three hundred dollars at all.

Masfield took fifty dollars out of his pocket and handed them to the boy, "I'll give you fifty dollars first, and if you give me a hundred bouquets of roses, I'll give you the remaining two hundred and fifty dollars." ”

The boy trembled his hands, took fifty yuan, rushed out like a rabbit, and shouted, "Sir, I'll go get the roses now, you and my big sister will wait for me here!"

Mesfield looked at the young man's back in the distance and muttered, "Cold, it's almost time to wake up, quickly pick up your umbrella." ”

Leng Fan looked up from Mayfield's arms, made a strange face, and sneered, "Who made you break the bank? I don't like roses." ”

"But I think you're going to like it. Masfield tilted his head and said, "Beautiful women love beautiful flowers." ”

Leng Fan couldn't help laughing, "Brother, you're so good at talking, no wonder girls are all." She lowered her body and picked up the black umbrella on the side, "Let's talk about it first, the three hundred yuan is your expense, and it can't be counted on me in the end." Leng Mi pouted.

"This kid needs the three hundred dollars, and I think I can help him," Mesfield said. ”

"Alright. Leng Mi said impatiently, "Let's wait for him here!" Leng Mi took a deep breath, held an umbrella in his right hand, and opened his left arm to embrace the entire sea and sky.

Masfield stood quietly behind her, the smile he would be guarding for the rest of his life.

He knew that a true cold fan would never be sad because her eyes were full of sunshine.

"How long are you going to wait?" Leng Fan turned around and saw that Mesfield was looking at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Am I so beautiful?"

Maesfield shrugged and said, "You're more beautiful with a hundred bouquets of roses." ”

"Then I'm really looking forward to it!" said Leng Mi.

On the beautiful beach of Hall, tourists from seven countries come and go. The sea breeze gently blows the broken waves, and the tutu birds fly by the sky. The dazzling sunlight shone onto the sea, shining like a glitter in a blue gemstone.

The dark purple robe was blown by the breeze, and the fair skin leaked out, as pure and flawless as ivory.

Masfield held an umbrella and stood beside the cold fan.

Leng Mi looked at the sunlight reflected in the sea, thinking about Mesfield behind him. Masfield stared at Leng Mi with the black umbrella, thinking about her as well.

They were silent and did not speak.

Leng Mi said that she wanted to come to see the sea and look at the dazzling sunshine. Maesfield agreed to take her to Maple Leaf Harbour's most beautiful Hole Beach.
