Chapter 533: A Chance Encounter with a Beauty
"Coachman, please take me back to the White Gull Opera House, No. 11 Iron Anchor Street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but my car is for the town hall."
"But aren't you idle? It doesn't take me half an hour to give me a ride, and I pay double the fare. ”
"I'm really sorry, but in fact I was ordered to wait here for an important guest, and he must be taken to Geert Palace as soon as possible."
"Iron Anchor Street is not near Geert Palace, the carriage is very large, it can seat two people, why are you so brainless, what's wrong with taking me on a ride and making more money!"
"No, not really...... Unless you can get the consent of that noble gentleman, I will not dare to make such a decision for myself, and good lady, don't make trouble for me! ”
Roland walked briskly out of the hotel door, and was confronted by the carriage that Lyubov had sent to pick him up, and the driver was sitting in the driver's seat, arguing impatiently with a woman in a blue cloak.
Roland heard the woman's voice a little familiar, and looked at her back curiously. The wide cloak could not hide the other party's slender and slender figure, and two strands of dark blue hair fell from his ears, exuding a familiar body fragrance.
Roland walked around to the front of the carriage and looked at the woman. The other party was veiled, revealing only a smooth and white forehead and a pair of delicate eyes, which alone made him immediately recognize the other party's identity.
"Are you...... Miss Helena? ”
"Mr. Roland!" Helena's eyes overflowed with surprise, "What a coincidence, it turns out that you are staying in this hotel!" ”
Roland smiled and shook her hand, "Why are you here?" ”
"The sisters of the opera troupe heard that Baiou Harbor was going to war with pirates, they were very afraid of being implicated, and decided to go to the countryside to hide for a few days, I just sent them out of the city, and on the way back I wanted to rent a carriage, but you also saw that this army was in chaos, rich families wanted to go to the country house for refuge, the carriages out of the city lined up in a long line, but there were very few carriages into the city, I walked for more than half an hour, my feet were sore, and finally I saw an empty car at the door of the hotel, and refused to take me!" The sea fairy complained to him aggrievedly, and gave the hard-hearted coachman a fierce look.
The coachman was also full of grievances: "Mr. Roland, the little one came to pick you up at the order of Ms. Katya to take you to Geert Palace, how can you take passengers halfway to do private work without your permission?" If Ms. Katya finds out about this, my job will be ruined! ”
Roland nodded with a smile and said to the coachman: "I understand your distress, and it is right to stick to the principle, but this Miss Helena is my friend, and I am always embarrassed to leave people here. ”
"Since Mr. Roland doesn't mind, of course I don't have anything to say, so let's get this young lady into the car."
With a relieved smile, Helena took Roland's hand and boarded the carriage, and after taking a seat, she said gratefully: "Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have to walk back to the opera house on foot, and it would be terrible to think about it!" ”
Roland couldn't help but laugh: "You're not so delicate, are you?" Last time I was in Dolphin Bay, I saw you swim for more than ten miles without panting, and your body was pretty good. "It's also great to be in shape, especially when you're wearing swimsuits.
"That's different!" Helena pouted, "I have sea elf blood, and swimming is as easy as breathing, but I rarely hike, not to mention that I am still wearing stage shoes today, and you men can't imagine how hard it is to walk." ”
As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her cloak and cocked a pair of slender jade feet wrapped in snow-white stockings and pedaling on high heels to show him clearly.
When Roland saw her little feet, he couldn't help but feel the urge to reach out and caress her, and the distance was within reach, but reason forced him to suppress this rude thought.
"Whoever lets you come out in dancing shoes, stinky beauty always has to pay some price."
"You're so excessive! I can't comfort people a few words, but I thought you were a gentleman! Helena gave him a blank look, and then explained: "As soon as this morning's performance ended, the sisters were clamoring to leave, and I couldn't dissuade them, so I had to see them off in the car, and I didn't bother to change my shoes in a hurry. You don't have to travel long distances, and it doesn't matter if you wear dancing shoes, how could you think that today is so unlucky, the rental carriages on the street are rarer than peacocks. ”
"In fact, as long as you take off the veil and smile at the coachman, even if the other party is really hard-hearted, he will be melted by your charm, and immediately kick me, a legitimate employer, away and make a special trip to serve you." Roland said half-jokingly.
Helena smiled so hard that her shoulders trembled, and she took off her veil to reveal a face that was captivating to the country, and looked up and smiled at her.
"Is that so?"
Roland suddenly had a feeling of amazement, fixed his mind, and gave her a thumbs up and praised: "Impeccable! ”
Helena smiled lightly and said softly: "Don't lie to me, in fact, you don't really have a heart at all." ”
"You wronged me too much when you said that, how can a man not like a beautiful woman......"
Helena raised her hand to signal him not to explain first, and said with a restrained smile: "Mr. Roland, I am an actor, acting is a skill that I rely on to make a living, I don't deny that I am very attractive, but I know better whether a man is really fascinated by me or pretends to be excited, your acting skills are good, but unfortunately you can't hide it from me, in fact, you may appreciate me a little bit, just like admiring a beautiful wine glass, or appreciating a rhetorically exquisite poem, that is a courtesy appreciation of beautiful things, nothing more." ”
When Roland heard her say this, he couldn't tell what it was like.
He is indeed not the kind of character who falls in love with a beautiful woman at first sight, even if the other party is a charismatic sea fairy, and dares to love and hate compared to the innocence and enthusiasm of his peers, although he doesn't want to admit it...... He knew he was a little cold, a little hypocritical, and a little bit of a philistine. Others first took him as a friend in exchange for his life, and then he was willing to stick a knife in the other party's ribs, if he hadn't experienced the test of living and dying together, even if the other party was as beautiful as a fairy, he would not be able to gain his full trust. It doesn't matter if this kind of character is good or bad, it will be embarrassing to be exposed by the other party in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I just said that was too much, are you mad at me?" Helena asked timidly.
"Not angry, just a little embarrassed." Roland smiled and quickly changed to a less sensitive topic, "Your colleagues have all taken refuge in the countryside, why do you want to stay in the city?" Now you have seen the situation in the city, even if the pirates do not come to loot, the skyrocketing prices have caused great pressure on the residents, and I don't know how long this situation will last, and it is not a good choice to stay in the city.
