Chapter 209: Showdown
Eugene pushed the door open and saw Wallace opening a bottle of red wine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info dishes have been put on the table, and in order to keep the temperature warm, they are covered with sterling silver plates.
"How's this mansion?" Wallace looked up at Eugene with a warm smile on his face.
As if dazzled by Wallace's smile, Eugene frowned slightly as he took off his coat, then walked to Wallace's side and nodded, "The design is unique and ingenious." ”
"The garden has basically remained in its original style, with only minor changes." Wallace opened the dinner cover one by one as he spoke, black pepper steak, salt-baked snails, cod pasta, corn bisque, and a bottle of red wine and two candles next to it, which was quite romantic.
"Hungry, taste." Wallace picked up a snail with special pliers, then picked it out completely with a fork and placed it on a plate in front of Eugene, "Try this, it's the first time I've done it." ”
Eugene was stunned and looked sideways at Wallace.
Wallace seemed to smile a little shyly, picked up another snail, leaned into the fork and slowly pulled it out: "I haven't cooked Western food for many years, a few years ago when I was abroad with my brother, I usually cooked, at that time we didn't have much money, even steak was rarely eaten, the most common thing to eat was pasta and corn soup." That's why I'm best at both. ”
Eugene didn't speak, he had investigated Wallace's information, Wallace and his brother had been separated for seven or eight years, three years ago his brother Johnny had come to the Yan Kingdom at Wallace's request, when Wallace was on the front line to command the campaign, and he had not seen Johnny a few times, and Johnny died unexpectedly less than a year later.
Luo Ji also found out that Wallace had special feelings for his brother, so he let Eugene get close to Wallace.
"Is it delicious?" Seeing Eugene put the snail in his mouth, Wallace asked a little nervously.
Eugene nodded: "It tastes good, tender and delicious." ”
Wallace also tasted one, but frowned slightly: "The meat quality of the snails is still poor, a little bitter, and it is too difficult to get some good snails now, and I still took a lot of trouble to get these snails." ”
"It's a war, it's good to eat some, don't be so demanding." Eugene smiled, picked up a small pair of pliers, and picked up a snail.
"I hate war." Wallace confessed.
"That's not what a commander like you would say." Eugene quipped.
"That's why I don't usually say it." Wallace shoved the evenly sliced fried steak in front of Eugene, "Try the steak, medium-rare, this dish is not the first time I've done it." ”
Eugene picked up the wine glass, touched it with the glass Wallace kept at hand, and took a sip with his head up: "This wine is good." ”
Wallace knew that Eugene rarely said thank you, but he could clearly see it in his actions.
"I knew you'd like it." Wallace also picked up his glass, "If you don't go back today, it's okay to drink more." ”
"Okay." Eugene put the snail he had picked out and put it on Wallace's plate. Bow your head and eat the steak that Wallace helped him cut, although he likes to eat medium-rare best, but it doesn't matter if it's a little reproduced or cooked, Wallace remembers.
The two chatted casually while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Wallace's mouth was always smiling, and Eugene was no longer angry with him, Wallace helped Eugene with the dishes, and Eugene poured wine for Wallace.
After finishing the meal, the orderly served two cups of coffee, which was still Eugene's favorite Blue Mountain.
The room was warm, Eugene only wore a shirt, drank wine, his face was slightly red, a pair of slightly drunk eyes were smoked by the heat of coffee, glowing with a moist luster, and in the open neckline, the delicate collarbone disappeared with Eugene's movements, seductive.
Eugene is so beautiful and elegant, so beautiful that people want to conquer, so beautiful that people are reluctant to destroy.
"You've been looking at me for a long time, what are you thinking? Want to kill me? Eugene suddenly said lightly.
Wallace was shocked, his hand holding the coffee trembled slightly, and then he smiled: "What stupid thing to say?" ”
Eugene looked up and looked Wallace in the eye: "I hope it's a stupid thing too, but my sixth sense tells me that you're saying goodbye to me, and you're not going to send me away, you can only kill me, can I ask why?" ”
Wallace lowered his eyes, he always knew that Eugene was sensitive, not to mention that everything he did today, even he knew was very abnormal: "You are too mysterious, I have to guard against you." ”
Eugene sneered, followed by a series of disdainful laughs.
Wallace waited until Eugene stopped laughing before he said slowly: "Four days ago, on Nanrong Street, the so-called thief was you. I carefully selected the shoes I gave you, and I bought two pairs together, exactly the same, and one for myself, though I knew that I might not have a chance to wear them at all. ”
Eugene opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know the thief? Still don't know about shoes?
"I suspected it was you, so I went to your apartment to look for you, and when I saw you sick and groggy, I was both distressed and happy, I told myself that I was wrong, but when I inadvertently pushed open the bathroom door, the cold breath made me have to re-examine my conclusion, a severe cold can certainly cause a high fever, and the stimulation of sudden cold and heat can also make people have a high fever, and you do not hesitate to abuse yourself in order to hide from me." Wallace said again.
"If I say, you misunderstood, I do have a bad cold, do you believe it?" Eugene said lightly.
Wallace didn't answer his question, and continued: "Your whereabouts are a mystery in the Lawson Square shooting on August 13, Gucci was killed on October 14, your whereabouts are a mystery, Blue Fang died on October 18, and your whereabouts are still a mystery, and there are many other times when your whereabouts cannot be found, and you have more than one identity, or even more than two, three, like the thief four days ago. ”
Gucci and Lan Fang are traitors to the Yan Kingdom who defected to Luo Guo, and they are on their list of hoes, but Eugene did not interfere in the death of the two of them, and in those two days, Eugene thought about it, either to see Luo Ji, or to transform into Shanzi to collect or spread information.
Eugene shook his head and defended: "You said that it will not restrict my freedom, and you also know that I do have an identity as an underground medicine dealer, and I do need to wear makeup to travel sometimes, but it has nothing to do with the things you said." ”
Wallace closed his eyes, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "I also hope that what I said has nothing to do with you, I hope you have never lied to me, I hope your identity is simply the young master of the You family, the surgeon of the central hospital, a greedy but timid underground pharmacist, a person I like." ”
Eugene wanted to say that I was, but he also knew that Wallace wouldn't believe him no matter what he explained. It took Wallace three days before he had a showdown with him, and it must have been after careful investigation and thinking, he had long known that Wallace was a thoughtful and vicious person, and even if he didn't wear those shoes that day, Wallace might have recognized him.
But if he had to go back in time and make another choice, he would also risk acting in front of Wallace, and Decais would need to escort Father Joshua, who would have to work with Dick to get Wallace's attention.
Without hearing Eugene's answer, Wallace didn't wait any longer, and said dejectedly: "It's a pity, you're not." ”
Wallace's voice was a little sad: "I know you won't admit it, and I don't have any evidence, but with so many years of experience, I can be sure that you are from their side." ”
Eugene suddenly stopped being entangled, and in his slightly raised voice, there was a faint mockery: "So, today's meal is my last supper?" ”
"No, you can choose to live here forever, as long as you don't show up in front of everyone anymore, I can find a way to keep you." Wallace said eagerly, with a strong retention in his gaze.
Eugene looked at him motionlessly, and suddenly showed a amorous smile: "Because you are reluctant to kill me?" ”
"Eugene." Wallace could hear that Eugene was laughing at him, and struggled to whisper.
"You want to turn me into your bond?" Eugene narrowed his eyes, a faint anger burning in his body.
Wallace hung his head and didn't answer him.
Bringing Eugene here, Wallace hoped that Eugene would like it here, and would be willing to live incognito in this courtyard, and when he missed him, he could come and see it.
But Wallace knew better that this was nothing more than his wishful thinking. He understands Eugene's character, although Eugene is beautiful, although he wears women's clothes with a unique style, he is not a woman, he is not a canary that can be kept in a cage, he is a man of blood and strength like him, an eagle soaring in the nine heavens, he can't lock Eugene at all, there are only two choices in front of him: either kill him or let him go.
The wiser thing to do is to kill him, naturally. But twenty-four hours have passed since yesterday, and Wallace still can't make up his mind.
But it is even more impossible to release Eugene, Eugene has been with him for more than two months, and I don't know how much valuable information he has mastered, even if he doesn't, Wallace also believes that Eugene is a resistant, and letting Eugene go is tantamount to betraying Luo Guo.
Betraying his homeland, he can't do it either.
"Have you ever loved me?" Wallace asked suddenly in a low voice.
Eugene looked at him in a little surprise, at this time, should he ask this question? If he answers love, he will let him go?
Hehe smiled, Eugene shook his head, and said frankly, "I'm sorry. ”
Eugene did not deceive him and did not bother to deceive him.
Wallace is a very principled person, even if he is really reluctant to Eugene in his heart, even if Eugene loves him wholeheartedly, and encounters problems of principle, Wallace will still abandon him, even if every day after that, he is in pain.
Although it was the expected answer, Wallace still felt very sad in his heart, he was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head, his eyes were slightly red: "From the beginning, you have been deceiving me, and your only purpose in approaching me is to steal information?" ”
