Chapter 22: The Heart's Desire is Red
October 4, 527 at 8:00 a.m
Meng Tianyu was waiting for the clerk to pack the honey cake and black tea at the Happy Cake Shop, when the red alarm sound from the street startled him.
He didn't sleep well last night because he was worried about Hongying. He wanted to visit her and make sure she was okay. So as soon as it was dawn, he got out of bed.
Ever since he met the little witch five years ago, he has often had that inexplicable dream, with the figure of the red glow in the burning mirror. But it wasn't a terrible dream, Hongying looked like she was dancing in a fire, and it looked sacred.
The scary thing is that sometimes the mirror turns to the other side, and the person in the flames turns into a complete stranger girl, and the flames engulf her, and the girl lets out a terrible scream.
Last night, Meng Tianyu had a nightmare, and the mirror turned to the terrifying side. This made him worry about what would happen to Hongying.
Although Meng Tianyu didn't know Xiang Risong's address, but along the vicinity of the royal city, he found a villa that looked gorgeous, but it was very deserted, he intuitively felt that this was Xiang Risong's residence, he stood outside the door and struggled for a while, he was hesitating what to say. But the hand was already on the doorbell.
He swallowed his saliva until Marshall opened the door, and Meng Tianyu could confirm that it was Xiang Risong's family, but Marshall didn't seem very friendly.
Meng Tianyu said, "I'm here to visit Miss Xiangri, can I come in?" With that, he looked up the stairs facing the door, and Hongying slowly walked down.
Hongying's upper body is a little stiff, and it looks more like a big-eyed doll.
Later, when chatting with Hongying, Meng Tianyu felt that he was a fool and didn't know how to chat. It was also the first time he knew that he would be so nervous talking to a girl.
On the way home, Meng Tianyu had been thinking about Marshall, the male servant of the Hongying family, and he had been following Hongying for twenty-four hours, and he frowned.
Suddenly, a knight stood in front of Meng Tianyu: "Hello, please cooperate with us to check." ”
"Okay." Meng Tianyu looked at the other party judging himself, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened recently?" ”
The knight tilted his head: "Don't ask too much, hurry home, don't wander outside, and don't touch strangers." It's best not to touch anyone. ”
After the knight finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, Meng Tianyu turned around, only to find that the knight who had just walked past was gone.
Meng Tianyu ran over, but found the tarot card used to judge on the ground, he picked up the tarot card and hurriedly ran to Xiang Ri's house.
"Ding Dong Ding-"
Marshall quickly opened the door, and he looked at Meng Tianyu: "Why are you back again?" ”
Tian Yu gasped a little and said, "There was a knight just now, and he suddenly disappeared. ”
"You should have told the Paladin, not me."
"I just want to remind Hongying, it's not been peaceful recently......"
Marshall interrupted Meng Tianyu again: "I will take care of her, since it is not peaceful, Young Master Meng, you should go back earlier." Marshall responded to Meng Tianyu with a smile that was uglier than crying, and then closed the door.
Hongying came out of the toilet and looked at Marshall: "Marshall, who is it?" ”
"Knocked on the wrong door." Marshall didn't say it was Mengtianyu.
Hongying sat on the sofa: "What's wrong with you today?" I've never seen you like this, and I was a little surprised by the way you wanted to chase people away. I didn't say you in front of him, I gave you face. Do you have any enmity with Tianyu? ”
"Nope." Marshall lowered his head, "I just think that Young Master Dream is plotting against you." ”
Hongying's eyes drooped when she was originally looking at Marshall: "Really?" I don't think so, I think he's pretty good. He also gave me a cake when I was a child. ”
"I think he thinks you're kind, simple, and royal, and he knew you before. He's going to want to ...... you."
"What?"
"It's nothing, anyway, listen to Mr., just don't have anything to do with him."
"Marshall, why are you and your brother so hostile to Meng Tianyu? I think he's very good, he's not what you say he is. Hum! Hongying didn't know why Marshall and her brother had such a strange attitude towards Meng Tianyu, but this didn't affect Meng Tianyu's image in her heart, "I ignore you, I'm going back to my room to read." ”
Hongying didn't read the book seriously when she returned to the room, just stared at the book in a daze. I thought about Meng Tianyu's eyes and smile over and over again in my mind.
At the moment when Marshall finally closed the door, Meng Tianyu saw a full hostility in his eyes, which was completely different from when he saw it in the academy. Now he was more afraid of this manservant who was under the same roof as Hongying than he was worried about the existence of the illusion magician.
It was almost noon when Meng Tianyu returned to the academy. As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he saw Meng Tianyi nestled in the sofa, holding a book, he raised his head and looked at Meng Tianyu: "Early in the morning, where did you go?" ”
"Why didn't you go to class?" Meng Tianyu sat on the bed.
"Today is a sword battle, and the one who wins can get out of class first. By the way, just now my father contacted me and said that he was looking for you to have something to do, and said that you should go to Su's house with him tomorrow. The young lady of the Su family, that ...... I forgot what it was called. Isn't she tied up, and Uncle Su is gone. Father is worried about your marriage. ”
Meng Tianyu almost forgot that he still had a marriage contract with Miss Su Family: "Is that Miss of the Su Family called Su Yongguang?" ”
"Like, what's wrong? You already know each other? ”
Meng Tianyu shook his head: "It's okay, then can my marriage contract be canceled?" ”
"Then you have to go to the Su family with your father to find out." Meng Tianyi looked at his watch, "Why don't you contact my father later?" ”
"Got it." Meng Tianyu took out Meng Kui's communication card from the card bag, and looked at the bright light on the communication card, he forgot what he received from Meng Kui's message. It's not that he doesn't feel the magic, he just doesn't want to get a message so quickly. Meng Tianyu clicked on the message.
"Meng Tianyu, come to my dormitory at noon, I have something to look for you!"
Meng Tianyu could feel Meng Kui's bad attitude through this card, he got up from the bed, turned his head and asked Tianyi when he left the dormitory: "Brother, will you wait for me to go to the restaurant with you in a while?" ”
Meng Tianyi didn't look up: "Okay." ”
Meng Tianyu arrived at the teacher's dormitory building, stood in front of the door of 2A and knocked, and then the door opened.
Meng Kui's expression on his face as if he had eaten didn't look like it could make people feel comfortable, he waited for Meng Tianyu to come in, then immediately closed the door and asked Meng Tianyu: "What did you do yesterday!" Yes! Who are you saving badly? You have to save Xiang Risong's sister who doesn't know the origin, you also gave her a blood transfusion, are you sick! If the dean hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you would have embarrassed our dreamers like this! ”
Meng Tianyu's face was flushed by Meng Kui's words, and a breath ran up from his stomach: "Father! That's enough! The shout was unexpectedly loud and frightened himself.
Meng Kui's eyes widened: "You loser! You dare to yell at you! It's a long ability, isn't it? Meng Kui slapped Meng Tianyu's left cheek hard, "What do you want to do?" You kid wants to rebel! ”
Meng Tianyu pushed Meng Kui's hand away, and the dissatisfaction with his father that had accumulated over the years instantly erupted: "I just want to save her, what's wrong!" You think that dreamers are nobles and can put their feet on commoners, you are wrong! You are the cheapest one who talks about untouchables all day long! You're also a slut who wants to take advantage of my relationship with the upper nobility! ”
"Smack-"
Meng Kui slapped Meng Tianyu in the face: "You went to school for a few years, and you learned to talk back to your Lao Tzu?" ”
Meng Tianyu rubbed his aching chin: "Don't you dare to admit it?" The Su family is in trouble now, I think you should be in a hurry now! ”
Meng Kui stared at Meng Tianyu with strange eyes: "Meng Tianyu, do you say you like that girl?" ”
Meng Tianyu didn't expect Meng Kui to ask like this, and his first reaction was to deny: "I didn't!" ”
"Don't pretend, I've heard from the Dean and Lilith, and they can see it! I tell you, that girl, no! Can! Yes! It's a sister who sounds good.,Who knows if it's a woman who was raised by the sun in the future.,This kind of girl who knows how to seduce men at a young age.,Heh! I also want to enter our dreamer's house, dream! ”
When Meng Tianyu heard that his father had insulted a girl he liked with such dirty words, he felt extremely disappointed and stung by the fact that he had such a father.
The more fiercely Meng Kui scolded, the more it aroused Meng Tianyu's desire to protect Hongying: "That's right! I love her! I'm telling you! I'm not going to marry anyone! I've identified her with her in my life! Meng Tianyu glared at Meng Kui, "Tomorrow you will go to the Su family by yourself!" With that, he turned and left.
Meng Kui snorted coldly, stood by the windowsill and watched Meng Tianyu leave the dormitory building, and shook his head: "Stinky boy! There is no Su family, there are Tang families, Xihai families, Jin families, Bai families, there are many girls of the right age, I don't believe you will like a girl who stinks and has not dried up. ”
Meng Tianyu, who was walking on the racetrack, suddenly felt ashamed of what he said: "What am I talking about!" Even if I liked her, would she like me? She doesn't understand anything! ”
Meng Kui's insulting words were still lingering in his mind, and Meng Tianyu shook his head: "Damn! ”
Hongying appeared in Tianyu's mind again, and Meng Tianyu was thinking: What do I like about her? She is very cute, very lively and looks wonderful. With her, it seems that you can forget all the unhappy troubles, do I like her?
Meng Tianyi waited left and right without waiting for Meng Tianyu, so he left the dormitory and went to find him. found Meng Tianyu leaning on the railing next to the racetrack alone, smirking all over his face.
Meng Tianyi patted him on the shoulder: "Tianyu! What are you giggling at? ”
Meng Tianyu came back to his senses: "Huh? How did you get down? ”
"I waited for you to never come back, so I came out to look for you. Let's go to dinner! ”
"Let's go."
"What were you thinking about that girl?"
"I didn't."
"And say no, I see that you are almost drooling, your expression must be in love with someone's girl!"
Meng Tianyu looked at Meng Tianyi: "Like it?" Yes. Meng Tianyu smiled, and then lowered his head deeply: "Really? ”
For the first time, Meng Tianyi felt that his younger brother was a little stupid, and he shook his head: "Go eat, starve to death!" ”
