1699 Esoteric Topics
Outside, Alice took a deep breath and greedily sucked in the fresh air.
The box filled with the smell of alcohol, perfume, and smoke almost didn't suffocate her.
"Hey!"
Alice sighed, her delicate face sad.
"At such a young age, where did all this sentimentality come from. ”
Ning Fan shook his head, seeing that Alice just sighed vigorously and didn't speak, so he took the initiative to ask, "Alice, do you have something on your mind?"
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Looking at the flustered Alice, Ning Fan couldn't help but say happily, "Your heart is completely written on your face." ”
"Really?"
Seeing Alice touching her face cutely, Ning Fan finally couldn't help but laugh.
"If you hate it, you know how to play tricks on people. ”
Alice squirmed for a while, and the sorrow in her heart was diluted a lot.
"Are you thinking about your boyfriend?"
"It's not. Don't talk nonsense. ”
As she spoke, Alice looked at the balcony door weakly, lest Andrew would hear it.
"Don't worry. The Duke could not hear us. ”
Alice glanced at Ning Fan in surprise, and then said softly, "Actually, we are not that kind of relationship. ”
"Isn't it?"
Ning Fan looked at Alice suspiciously, at this moment, the girl looked unrelenting, how could she deceive him.
Ning Fan couldn't help asking, "Are you unrequited love?"
"This ...... Not really!"
"I don't understand that. ”
Ning Fan shook his head, a little unsure of the girl's thoughts.
"Actually, here's how it ......"
After listening to Alice's story, Ning Fan's expression was strange for a while, and the more he listened, the more wrong he felt.
In Alice's description, Adams is omniscient, well-informed, and highly accomplished in connoisseurship.
For some classic operas, stage plays, and musicals, it can be said that they are like a treasure.
It was this point that caused Ning Fan's doubts.
"How can a true philanthropist have the energy to learn about equestrianism, sailing, sea fishing, etc. ”
This knowledge is simply not used by ordinary people, and it is not in keeping with Adams's identity at all.
It's not that Ning Fan deliberately looks down on people.
These aristocratic activities, in addition to consuming energy to study, also require a lot of money to practice.
But in Alice's depiction, Adams is very skillful, and even some small details are not even discovered by Alice, a real aristocratic girl.
It can be seen that Adams is by no means a hearsay braggadocio, but has often had similar activities.
As the president of the rescue society, if Adams is really like Alice said, he is one of the few selfless good people in the world.
Then Adams will surely devote more energy and money to this great cause.
"This Addams is a veteran. Aren't these romantic stories and great loves exactly the idealization that young girls who have been involved in the world have been pursuing?"
Looking at the elated Alice, Ning Fan had a hunch that Adams was by no means as simple as it seemed.
"I'm afraid that these charity activities are just a means for him to gain fame. ”
Thinking of this, Ning Fan implicitly asked the doubts in his heart.
"This ......"
Alice was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it.
"Perhaps...... It was Mr. Adams who deliberately learned a little in order to raise donations and facilitate communication with wealthy people. ”
"Perhaps. ”
Ning Fan shrugged his shoulders, naturally he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask to the end.
"But he's a human after all, have you ever thought you don't have a future?"
"Future?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "You said this too early. ”
"I see. ”
At this time, Ning Fan completely realized it,
Alice and Adams didn't get there, they just had feelings for him.
Ning Fan smiled, "Since this is the case, then why bother to add trouble to yourself, you can try to be friends first." ”
"That's what I'm struggling with. Daddy won't let me be friends with humans. ”
Alice sighed, and then said her heart, "Humans often say that friendship is sincere, but I hide my identity, and I feel a little unhappy. ”
"I see. ”
"yes. I was supposed to attend Mr. Adams' discharge celebration today, but ......"
Ning Fan smiled and answered, "But you have to accompany me." ”
"yes. ”
Alice nodded cutely, then reacted, "That's not what I meant. We are friends, and of course I want to accompany you. I just didn't expect two things to happen together. So it feels a little ...... Some ......"
Ning Fan asked tentatively, "Some regrets?"
"Yes! That's what I meant. It would be perfect if the time could be staggered. ”
After saying that, Alice suddenly asked, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to disclose my identity?" ”
Hearing this bold idea, Ning Fan looked surprised, "You're kidding." ”
People fall in love with other races, which is just a beautiful vision of film and television works.
In reality, if this kind of thing really happens, it is destined to end in tragedy.
Alice's eyes darkened, "Is it because of my bloodline?"
"No! Of course not. Even if you're a human girl, don't reveal your identity easily. ”
Alice blinked and asked, "Why? Shouldn't friends be honest with each other?"
"That's right. ”
Ning Fan scratched his numb scalp and continued, "But there is an old saying in our Huaxia that you know the face but don't know the heart, which means ......."
"What are you talking about, talking so happily?"
Hearing this, Ning Fan ignored the ridicule in Andrew's words, as if he had met a savior, and hurriedly asked, "Duke, you're done." ”
Andrew blew his beard and glared, "What did you say, stinky boy." I'm old and strong, it's not that I'm afraid of the boredom of you waiting. ”
Alice, who was in high spirits, said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, why are you always like this." Always spoil the fun at the most critical moments. ”
"So, you just ......."
As he spoke, Andrew's mung bean-sized eyes looked back and forth between the two of them, and then made an obscene hey.
"Dad, where do you think of it? We're just chatting. I'm ignoring you!"
Alice stomped her feet with a blushing face, and when she left, she didn't forget to say, "Ning Fan, let's have a good chat next time." ”
Seeing this scene, Andrew was curious, "What did you talk to Alice about?"
"It's nothing, it's just thinking about philosophy and human nature. ”
Andrew was surprised, "Such an esoteric topic?"
"yes, it's a bit esoteric. ”
Ning Fan nodded awkwardly, it was not only profound, it was simply fatal.
On the complex question of human nature, Alice is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, and she has put forward countless whys.
