Chapter 114: The Rain Stops
Under Javier's gaze, Estes slowly stepped forward and stopped in front of Javier.
"I haven't seen you in a few days."
She waved in greeting, a perfect smile blooming on her face.
"What are you doing here?" Javier asked.
"That's a strange question." Estes raised his chin slightly, and looked at Javier with a smile in his eyes, "I know Seleuc, so it's reasonable to come and worship her, right?" ”
"Whatever you want."
Javier turned his head and remained silent.
This time the attack on him was the minister's bureau, and Estes did not participate in the whole process, on the contrary, he also had the intention of revealing some information to himself. Since she was not the one involved in Saileu's death, she was naturally qualified to worship.
Esdes didn't care about Javier's almost indifferent attitude, and she continued to take two steps forward, standing in front of Seleuc's tombstone.
Placing the bouquet of white lilies in her other hand in front of the tomb, Estes stood up and closed her eyes in silence for nearly a minute, then she slowly opened her eyes, took a step back, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Javier.
The rain was still falling, and the dense rain was beating on the umbrella cloth above their heads, and the moist air smelled very fresh, and the breeze mixed with the rain brought them a little coolness.
The two kept a delicate distance, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was filled with an indescribable silence.
Javier continued to stand there silently, unable to see what he was thinking, but instead of shining as sharp as usual, his dark purple eyes gave a feeling of weakness.
Estes occasionally looked at his side of the face with his peripheral vision, observing the little-known side of the man, the corners of his lips slightly hooked upward, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.
At a certain moment, the silence was broken.
“…… Did I get something on my face? ”
Javier's gaze was slightly deflected, and he noticed the subtle gaze of Estes, it was not so strange that the woman had been looking at him unabashedly for most of the day.
Estes shook his head lightly and stared into his eyes: "It's just the first time I've seen you show such an expression, and I'm just a little concerned." ”
"What kind of expression do I have now?"
"You're ...... now"
Estes turned sideways slightly, stretched out her plain white soft wattle, and gently touched Javier's cheek, her lips opened lightly: "It's an expression that is about to cry, like an abandoned child." ”
"It's an unpleasant way to describe it."
Javier said this, but did not refute anything, as if he had some kind of self-consciousness from the beginning, and showed a self-deprecating look.
Looking at Javier like this, Estes suddenly had a mischievous thought, she leaned over to the side, her eyes were like silk, and she said provocatively: "Do you want to throw yourself into my arms and cry for a while?" I'm okay at any time. ”
Feeling the warm breath in his ears and the intoxicating scent of the blue lotus, Javier took a step back somewhat unnaturally, and distanced himself from Estes a little.
"Don't bother, I'm not weak yet." Javier did not hesitate to reject the offer.
"Even if you say that, your expression isn't convincing." Estes tapped his seductive lips and watched Javier's reaction rather amusemently.
Javier didn't answer, just silently turned around and returned to that fugue-like state, apparently deciding to ignore the woman for the time being.
And Estes didn't mean to continue to entangle, just stood quietly by Javier's side, holding an umbrella in his hand, listening to the sound of wind and rain, and accompanying him in a daze.
Being troubled by Estes like this, Javier felt that the sadness and depression in his heart were suddenly diluted a lot, and his mood calmed down incredibly.
This woman is always so arbitrary, but she really doesn't get bored when you're with her.
Javier is sometimes envious of her way of being, and she has a sense of ease and ease that makes him fascinated.
However, although he was envious, Javier couldn't act like this after all, he had his responsibilities on him, he was always in a state of heavy burden, and he couldn't learn the way of life of Estes.
Maybe that's why he has a longing for the existence of Estes, right?
No, it may be a bit inaccurate to say that it is a vision.
Javier is not sensitive to emotional matters, but he is also by no means slow, which is generally on the upper side.
So whether it is Seleuc or Spia's thoughts, he is more or less aware of them in his usual contact, but he doesn't want to say it, because once such a thing is revealed, it will only make everyone very embarrassed.
So, how much can he see clearly about his feelings?
Perhaps Javier already knew the answer in his heart, but based on the rational judgment of reality, he tried his best to suppress the emotions surging in his heart and chose to avoid the question.
However, the suppressed emotions will eventually explode one day, and the problems that have been avoided will sooner or later usher in a time when they must be faced.
No matter how much he realized it later, he should have understood it by now.
He probably liked Estes.
Although he has always denied this in a self-suggestive way, it is exactly what it is.
In the more than a month that I have been with Estes as a lover, I don't look at him as reluctant to do it, but in fact, I feel relaxed and happy for a long time.
In retrospect, the birth of this relationship may not have been recent.
If you have to go back in time, it should be a long time ago, to be exact, five years ago when the two first met.
I still can't forget that at the palace dinner, her awe-inspiring posture like the Ice Queen can be seen from a distance, and she is beautiful and beautiful.
The image of that moment was deeply imprinted in Javier's mind, deep in his soul, and he couldn't extricate himself.
Like someone, in fact, is a very simple thing.
Just a second, a look, it's enough.
-
The sky was silent, the sound of rain was no longer audible, and Javier came back to his senses from his deep thought.
He removed his umbrella and looked up at the sky, where the clouds had dispersed and the rain had stopped, and a ray of sunlight seeped through the cracks in the clouds and shone on his face, the dazzling light that made his eyes narrow slightly.
Estes also put away the umbrella, his bright pretty face rose slightly, looking at the beautiful scenery after the rain, his face was intoxicated.
Javier withdrew his gaze and glanced again at the name engraved on the tombstone, his eyes deep, but faded from weakness.
He silently recited in his heart: Seleuc, go all the way.
Then, as if he had cut off the last vestige of obsession in his heart, Javier turned calmly.
"The rain has stopped, I'm going back." He whispered.
"Eh, is this leaving? I'd like to stay with you a little longer. Estes said with some pity.
Havel did not reply, but walked straight forward, and after seven or eight steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Anyway, thank you for today."
He didn't look back, only the sound reached the other person's ear.
Although Estes said that she had come to worship, she silently stood with her in the rain for such a long time, which was obviously not part of the worship.
She probably wanted to comfort herself, even though she wasn't the material for comfort.
But thanks to her always being by her side, my mood was much lighter than before, so I said thank you at this time.
"Huh? Did I do anything that you should be thankful for? Estes blinked, a little puzzled.
"It's just a small thing, you don't have to care." Javier shook his head, "That's it. ”
Without waiting for Estes to reply, he continued on his way, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared around the corner.
Seeing this, Estes stopped thinking and followed with brisk steps.
"Hey, don't go so fast, wait for me......"
