Chapter 22 The Not-so-Everyday Routine

Sometimes Lorenzo felt like he was cursed by someone, he rarely had the opportunity to spend time with girls, and even if he did, there were no glamorous scenes, and every time it ended in embarrassment.

Lorenzo looked to the side, his pajamas were hanging on Eve's head, while the girl kept the door open, standing in place like a lamppost.

"That...... Good morning. ”

Lorenzo said dryly.

Eve paused for a long time before she slowly moved, and she pulled off Lorenzo's pajamas, her somewhat frizzy hair scattered behind her head, like a red lion.

"What an interest, Mr. Holmos. ”

Eve said with a smile on her face, her voice soft, like an old mother who has come to wake you up.

The gaze greasy looked at Lorenzo, from top to bottom.

Obviously soaking in the warm bathtub, but under the scrutiny of this gaze, Lorenzo couldn't help but feel a chill, and he covered his chest, like a girl who was peeping into a bath...... But if that's the case, the role should be reversed.

This was not the end of it, after this greasy gaze, Eve also lifted Lorenzo's pajamas, sniffed them, and then made an even more intoxicated and disgusting expression.

"Get out!"

Lorenzo screamed.

I have to admit that Eve's learning ability is really strong, from cutting demons to molesting good women and men, whether it is good or bad, she learns quickly.

The pajamas were thrown back, and Eve continued to let out a mocking laugh.

Before, she was teased by Lorenzo, but now that the roles are reversed, Eve feels very good, she walks briskly and is refreshed like a ruffian who has just collected protection money.

Pushing open the door, he bumped into a kestrel head-on.

"Good morning. ”

The kestrel wanted to see how the next door was doing, but she didn't know what was going on with this lonely man and widow in the same room.

But as soon as he got here, he heard a scream, and the kestrel thought that it would be Lorenzo's bestial hair that was finally out of favor, but if you listen closely, the voice seems to be Lorenzo's.

For a moment he hesitated, not knowing whether to go in or not, until now the door opened.

"Does anyone use your bathroom?"

Eve didn't notice the kestrel being cranky, and as she spoke, she straightened her messy hair, which was too long and was a lot of work, and Eve wondered if she should cut it shorter.

"Nope. ”

Kestrel replied.

"Lend it to me. ”

Eve said as she walked straight to the next door, still holding a towel and supplies in her arms.

In fact, everything that just happened was just an accident, she didn't want to tease Lorenzo at all, Eve just got up and wanted to clean up, but Lorenzo was occupying a place, and wanted to call him up, who would have thought that this guy was humming a little song and soaking directly in front of him.

I have to say that Mr. Holmes really enjoys life, from waking up to bathing, the whole process is smooth, and I don't know how many times he has done this.

The sound of rushing water sounded, and the kestrel walked into the room, still curious about the screams just now, and at that moment the bathroom was pushed open, and Lorenzo looked resentful, like an aggrieved woman.

"Morning ...... Good morning. ”

Combined with the refreshment of Eve when she went out just now, it was hard for Kestrel not to guess something, but he could not have imagined that the roles were reversed so quickly.

"You're thinking something terrible, aren't you?"

"How is that possible?"

Lorenzo pinched Kestrel in the face and scolded loudly.

"Damn!

"How can you tell what I'm thinking!"

The kestrel continued to retort, and although it couldn't beat Lorenzo, it had to resist at least a few times in words.

Lorenzo suddenly fell silent, he couldn't say anything for a while, he couldn't say to the kestrel "When I mess with others, the expression on my face is the same as yours".

"Forget it, let you go. ”

Lorenzo was wrapped in a bath towel, and he was in no mood to enjoy it at all when Eve was so disturbed.

After wiping it clean, Lorenzo got dressed and walked out of the room, only to find a yellow note on the floor, which he picked up and looked around.

This is a relatively high-end hotel, and it should not be a small card stuffed by social idlers.

Is it a waiter? or someone else?

Lorenzo thought about it and looked at the handwriting on the note, and after a while he put it away, and then everyone gathered next door.

Everyone groomed themselves, Kestrel was dressed in casual clothes, and a sunhat was tucked under his arm, and Haybold had said before, today was a rest, there was no specific arrangement, and he was going to go to the port to find a spot to catch fish.

Eve leaned to the side, her long hair coiled up, revealing a smooth neck, like a flaming firebird in the morning light.

Maybe the background is different, and the temperament he carries is really different, compared to her, Lorenzo is like a dirt dog, he is slumped on the sofa, looking lazy, judging from his somewhat constipated expression, he is probably thinking about what to do today.

As for Haybod.

The three of them all looked into the corner.

Hypard had not yet slept, but was more energetic, the books looked very small under the broad palms of his hands, he was still flipping through the stories, and there was the breakfast that the kestrel had brought for him.

"I didn't expect it...... Is this the tenderness of an iron man?" muttered the kestrel quietly.

"I'm curious about what that book is about. Eve whispered.

"So...... Are the Vikings literate?"

It may be that these two guys said everything they wanted to say, and finally Lorenzo held back for a long time and came up with such a sentence.

Fortunately, Haybold didn't hear this, and he was completely immersed in the story.

"So, as Haybold said, we can take a day off for a while, what are you going to do?"

Lorenzo asked again, and as if he had figured out what to do, he stood up and straightened his clothes.

"I'm going fishing. ”

Kestrel said and rummaged through her wallet, hoping that there was a place to rent fishing gear at the docks.

"I don't have any plans. Eve said.

"Oh...... Let's break up first. ”

Lorenzo shook his eyebrows and walked straight out the door.

He walked very fast, as if he were running, and strode down the stairs quickly, but before he could take a few steps, a hand stopped him again.

"I would venture to ask, where are you going?"

Eve followed, and after a moment of thought, she realized that she couldn't let Lorenzo out of her sight anyway, because no one knew what he would do.

Maybe after going out and turning left, this guy will buy a ticket back to Old Dunling, and then hum a little song to say goodbye to everyone, although it is unlikely, but the probability will not be zero.

"Meet an old friend. ”

Lorenzo said as he walked, looking at the road, and from time to time he looked back at Eve, looking at the girl.

"Do you have any friends here?"

Eve followed Lorenzo closely, and she was skeptical of his words.

"Isn't it normal for my Mr. Holmos to have friends all over the world? ”

"I? I thought you didn't want to expose the fact that you didn't have any friends, but when you went out to meet your friends, you were actually wandering around the streets, pretending to be tired before nightfall, and going back to the hotel couch. ”

Eve's tone was respectful, but her mouth was unforgiving.

"Why should I pretend to do this?"

"Probably out of some ridiculous sense of dignity, I think you can do such a thing. Eve said with a poisonous tongue.

Lorenzo, who remembered the draw, suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at Eve.

"So dear Miss Phoenix, would you be interested in making a bet with me?"

Lorenzo's tone was also respectful.

"Bet on what?"

Eve remembers Lorenzo's previous gamble with Sabo, and that a bet with this neurotic usually doesn't end well, but people are always driven by curiosity.

Many things in the world can be easily understood, even complex human beings, and many people's minds are easy to guess, and seemingly closed wills can be easily invaded.

Like the kestrels, this guy is simply not good in some ways, and Eve doesn't have to guess that he will go fishing, and he will read a book while fishing, and maybe the fish he catches will be snatched by seagulls.

But Lorenzo is different, this guy is hard to guess, sometimes you may guess correctly, but because of this guy's various neurotic behavior, you doubt your own judgment and finally miss the opportunity.

After learning about the hidden knowledge of demons, purifiers, evangelical churches, etc., Eve suddenly has a violent strangeness to this familiar detective, and she realizes that she has never really known Lorenzo Holmos, and everyone is like this, and all they see is a mask carefully woven by Lorenzo.

Eve was curious, wondering what was hidden beneath the mask.

It's a big detective with a little neurosis from the bottom of his heart, or a little boy huddled in a corner and sobbing quietly.

"I haven't figured it out yet. Lorenzo replied, "Are you going to bet?"

"Absolutely. ”

Eve smiled.

Listening to Eve's reply, Lorenzo was in a trance for a while, as if he really noticed the passage of time and the changes in the things around him.

I found the essence hidden in the depths of my soul, familiar friends have grown up one by one, or left forever, the former follower has become a duchess, and the policewoman in front of me who trembled when she saw demons has become a warrior today.

To be honest, Lorenzo still misses the old Eve, like an obedient doll, at Lorenzo's disposal, not like now, Lorenzo not only can't control her at will, but may also be bitten back by her.

"Anyway, have you been so wild since you were a child?"

Walking through the streets of Gaulinalo, to pass the time, Lorenzo chatted about something else.

"What do you want to say?"

"No, I just don't think you used to be like that. ”

Lorenzo muttered inwardly, at least it was easy to deceive before.

"This is thanks to a good homeschooling. ”

Eve has been trapped by Arthur's dogma since she was a child, until now, many years later, she finally escapes it all, like a lion released into the wild, with the blood of a fiery Ranger and a beating heart beneath her beautiful dress.

"Of course, there should be etiquette, it is just revenge for you, thanks to you, I have been lying in the Black Mountain Hospital for a long time. ”

Anyway, she is also the daughter of the duke, and Eve can't see one to tease the other, and the reason why Lorenzo is engaged is just that the guy looks too bad.

"Actually, if you think about it, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gone to the Black Mountain Hospital, and what happened next wouldn't have happened to Arthur, let Arthur accept this, wouldn't it?"

Lorenzo asked rhetorically.

"That's why I'm going to toss you a little bit. ”

Eve was not ashamed but proud, and judging from her tone, she still had a lot of tricks to toss Lorenzo, after all, he taught her.

Lorenzo fell into an awkward silence, he didn't know what to say for a while, but then he stopped, Eve still looked proud, and walked forward, Lorenzo reached out and grabbed her shoulder directly and pulled her to a stop.

"What are you going to do!"

Eve reacted very much, looking at Lorenzo with a wary face, in a sense, she was also testing where Lorenzo's bottom line was, so as not to let herself get away with it.

"Here we are. ”

Lorenzo didn't look at her, but took out from his pocket the note he had picked up in the hotel, with a line of address written on it, which was the place in front of him.

"A tavern?"

Eve looked at the drunken tavern in front of her with a look of disbelief.

"You made an appointment here?"

"Of course. ”

"No way, you've been with us all morning. ”

Lorenzo didn't have time to contact his friends, and Eve began to think that Lorenzo was thinking that she couldn't win by gambling on herself, and began to give up on herself.

"yes, but there is no contradiction between the two, didn't you think that my friend had expected me to come here and was ready for all this?"

As the so-called evil smile, Lorenzo was extraordinarily confident.

"Eve, we're friends, aren't we?"

"This 'friend' is not included in the bet. ”

Eve thought Lorenzo was going to take advantage of the loophole in her words to win the bet, but Lorenzo shook his head, his smile faded away, and his expression became serious.

"Eve, you know what, when words are mixed with lies and truths, it becomes difficult to distinguish them, and the same is true of our work this time, Haybold must be hiding something...... I know he's himself and he's not going to hurt us, but I hate that feeling, this feeling of being in someone else's hands.

So I'm going to find a way to get it back. ”

Lorenzo pushed open the door to the tavern and looked at Eve with a serious expression.

"So then you see everything, and I hope you can help me hide it. ”

Eve was a little overwhelmed by Lorenzo's sudden change, it seemed that the situation had been under Lorenzo's control, and she had been disgusted by Eve before, and it was just Lorenzo playing with her.

Lorenzo picked up Eve and made her way through the crowd to the bar.

"What do you want to drink?"

The bartender has a thick beard and can't even smile at his mouth.

"I'll talk about drinks or something later. ”

Lorenzo pulled Ives over and said to the bearded man.

"This is Eve, Eve Phoenix, yes, the Phoenix you know. ”

Regardless of the "bearded" gradually startled eyes, Lorenzo said to Eve again.

"This is Hercule Christie, the friend I call it. ”

Eve still didn't understand, and then she felt some itching in her legs, as if something furry was rubbing against her legs, and before she could look down, a large mouse jumped on the bar.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, this is Poirot. ”

Lorenzo rubbed Poirot's head with a triumphant smile.
