Chapter 40: A Lifetime of Heartbeat
Alfer heard "the first bad thing" in a trance, but he ignored it, only to wake up not long after the bedside curtain slipped off.
Awesome, Alver thought, at least it was a relatively gentle free wake-up call, not a self-inflicted injury.
Pulling away the curtain covering his face, Alfer slumped into the soft pillow and struggled for a while before opening his eyes to observe the bedroom where he was, there was only one bed, the decoration was simply gorgeous, and the place without decoration and carving must be covered with brightly colored patterns, Alfer sat up, and saw that the loafers were made of silk, but they looked like women's models were not worn, and he stepped on the thick and soft carpet with his bare feet, opened the blackout curtains, pushed open the painted glass window, the cicadas chirped, the sky was bright, and it was estimated that the time would be about ten o'clock in the morning, and Alfer was the only one in the bedroom, and he thought it would be better to find someone to explain the slipping of the bedside curtain, opened the door and found that it was probably an ensuite with multiple bedrooms.
Vincent and Carl were already fully dressed and sitting in the small hall drinking tea, when they heard the knock at Elver's door, and they both turned around.
"Morning," Elph shrugged, "The curtain in my bedroom is broken, and I have to explain to the Countess that it's because of the curse," Seeing Vincent's and Carl's expressions tense, Elph quickly added, "Of course, I didn't get any substantial damage, no bleeding or bruising, don't worry." ”
Vincent stood up and rushed to Elver a few steps, holding Elver's shoulder and looking at him carefully, "Are you okay?"
"To be honest, I didn't get enough sleep. Alver said, "I've been tormented these days. ”
"You can go and rest a little longer," said Karl, "and we can leave in the afternoon, and after breakfast Vincent could vaguely hear that the Countess seemed to have made sense of the Count, providing clues for the pursuit of the village chief." ”
"I'd like some tea, too," Alver walked over to Carl and sat down, took an empty teacup made of shellfish like a budding flower, and poured himself a full cup, "Ah, black tea......" Alver sniffed, and finally decided to add a piece of sugar, stirred and tested the temperature, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Vincent sat across from Alph and Carl.
As Elver stirred the teacup, Carl revealed a ...... Alver looked at him with a smile of relief, holding a small plate of bread cut into small pieces, "Breakfast is over, and lunch will be in another hour and a half, so let's eat this to cushion my stomach first." ”
Alfer took the plate and ate two pieces, the bread was so sweet because it had been added too much honey, so he put it down, he was more concerned about Vincent and Lady Milan: "Vincent, hmm...... Maybe I shouldn't have asked, but what happened to you and Ms. Milan before you entered Mima Town?"
Carl clasped his palms together, and then Alver said, "yes, you look like you've been hit by something. ”
Alver touched Carl with his foot and shook his head slightly.
Vincent sighed, but was not as disappointed as Alver thought, Vincent leaned back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm probably too obvious, anyway, Milan can see that I'm interested in her, she told me that she's 'in her thirties', and reminded me to call her Ms. Milan in the future, instead of calling her by her name." Vincent's voice was muffled, "This should be considered a refusal, right?"
"I can't tell that Sister Milan is so much older than you," said Karl, "How about that? Do you want to give up?" Karl poured Alph and Vincent a cup of tea each.
"Me?" Vincent fiddled with his teacup and paused for a moment before continuing, "My parents are not of the same race, Carl doesn't know the details, but Elph does, and my mother was originally an enemy of my father's trouble! enemies can love each other, and age doesn't matter, so I don't think there's anything wrong with what Milan said, I want to persevere." ”
"But the Zerg ......" Carl hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You can't have children, this may be the reason why Sister Milan rejected you." ”
"She's single, and she didn't say she had a boyfriend or was married, and if she had someone she liked, then I'd stop. Vincent waved his hand, as if he wanted to get rid of some little bug: "That's it, I don't care if she rejects me and doesn't make trouble for her, I like her as much as I like it, and I want to be good to her." ”
Elfer had a very complicated emotion in his heart, he admired and admired Vincent, and was also very happy for Vincent's decision, this kind of emotion he had never had, he felt that his heart was pounding, and unconsciously covered his hands over his chest, this emotion was too complicated, and Alfer was a little guilty.
Vincent saw Alver staring at him with the expression that the school cafeteria aunt would only show when she saw the children eating enough, and waved his hand and called Elver twice, but Alfer didn't react, Vincent was stared at a little hairy, don't be a banshee torturing Elver, right? Vincent's long hand crossed the coffee table and pushed Elver's head, and asked in a tone of concern: "Hey! What are you doing!"
"Huh?" Alfer was pushed to react, and when he heard Vincent's concerned inquiry, he felt even more happy in his heart, "I'm really happy for you, I don't know why, I'm just happy!" Alfer had to take a few deep breaths: "It's the first time I've had this kind of emotion!
Vincent's face wrinkled, and his eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Carl, who was very calm, "Alfer must be stupid in the school circle, so he won't understand this feeling."
"I grew up in school, too!" Vincent covered his face and rubbed his eyes vigorously, "Alver is like an idiot sometimes, I'm not scolding him, he's like he doesn't know how to be afraid, if I was like him and threatened his life by all kinds of inexplicable dangers, I would have been scared to death, but he still has the leisure to feel happy here......"
