Chapter 48: The Gift
In Ian's perspective, whether in the previous life or in this life, women are often a strange species that is different from men. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info most of the time, he basically can't guess: what exactly is going on in a woman's head?
This point has been demonstrated countless times in his mother and Fei'er in this life.
But today, when he watched the two girls in front of him speechlessly and laughing as they walked around the commercial streets of the lower city, this concept was undoubtedly renewed again.
In fact, when Seran told him that they were going to Downtown, Ian already had a vague premonition. And when the two girls really stood at the entrance of the commercial street, he really didn't have the extra strength to argue anything......
For this situation, the two girls gave very good reasons.
"As Mentor Adolf has always taken care of our reward, at least we should prepare a farewell gift for him. ”
And as for why you chose to go downtown.
That's because, of course, prices are lower in the lower part of the city than in the upper city. And whether it is Ceran, who was originally a resident of the lower city, or Camilla, whose family situation has never been too good, is not the owner of too much spare money.
However, it is a pity that Ian, who is tense in his heart, is obviously collapsed in the face of such a situation.
At this moment, a capable person who had advanced to the middle level, to say the least, was hiding in the shadows with a demon that had gradually evolved into a natural disaster. The insiders of the entire Northern Regions were desperately mobilizing all their forces to search for each other, but the two girls in front of them, who were very likely to become the targets of the other party, actually dragged him to choose gifts without any sense of crisis.
This is child's play......
Camilla's face was as pale as a piece of paper during the conversation that day, and it seemed like a fake in retrospect. And Seran, who claimed to understand the situation at the beginning and questioned him very seriously, seemed to become less reliable at this moment.
Looking at the backs of these two girls, Ian, who was very resentful, couldn't help but want to ask: Haven't you thought about what kind of dangerous situation you are in now?
"Ian, don't be standing outside all the time. Come in and take a look, what do you think of this dress, is it appropriate to give it to Mr. Adolf?" Camilla, who was picking and picking up in a clothing store, suddenly excitedly lifted a dark gray loose coat and turned to the absent-minded Ian and asked.
This was the seventh store they had visited, and every time they walked into a storefront, Ian's anxiety and resentment would increase dramatically. Insisting on staying outside the store, he rolled his eyes helplessly, apparently not quite wanting to respond to Camilla's inquiry.
Fortunately, Seran on the side just turned her head to the side at this time, and she said with a smile: "Camilla, Ian has never met Mentor Adolf, you ask him, how can he know?"
"Hey, ah, this" Realizing that Seran didn't know Ian's other identity, Camilla hurriedly laughed dryly and prevaricated: "Ian is also a man, so he should know more about men's preferences." ”
"Not necessarily. Seran smiled and shook his head, but he didn't think much about it: "After all, there is so much age difference." ”
"Who said that if there is a big age gap, the preferences can't be the same. Camilla, who confirmed that Seran was not suspicious, breathed a sigh of relief, retorted casually, and then dragged her coat to the door.
Through the fruitless questioning just now, Camilla has already discovered the irritability of the silver-haired boy at the moment.
Since that day he deduced that everything that happened in the North Regions recently was related to Lilith, although Ian has always tried his best to deny that he is in a state of mind, even Camilla has noticed that "Black" has lost the calmness he had when he was outside the circle.
It is precisely because of this that the awkward black-haired girl will come to her, hoping that she can take him out to relax.
And as soon as she remembered that Fei'er had closed her eyes at that time, pretending to be indifferent, Camilla faintly felt like laughing.
At this moment, Camilla suddenly felt that it seemed necessary for her to reveal the heart of a certain girl with facial paralysis to the other party.
"Ian, just take a look!"
Walking in front of Ian in three or two steps, the Sakura-haired girl deliberately raised her voice slightly and shouted, and then suddenly lowered her tone: "Ian, are you okay?" ”
"Why do you want to ask when you've already seen it?" Ian rolled his eyes, he couldn't stand shopping the most in his life, especially at this time.
"Don't you have a sense of crisis at all? He couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there is. Camilla closed her eyes slightly: "But the strings that have been taut will break one day." ”
"Ian, Phil is right, you're stretching yourself too hard. ”
"Phil?" Ian furrowed.
"Hmm. Camilla nodded slightly, still saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Fei'er is a little worried about you, she said that you have a problem with your current state of mind, so she specially asked us to take you out to relax." ”
"It's just that I didn't expect it to be counterproductive. But Fei'er doesn't mean anything, don't look at her pretending not to care, but she actually cares about you quite a lot. ”
"More than that!"
Hearing the truth, Ian's eyes widened suddenly, and then he put his hand on his forehead with a smile. In fact, he had already noticed his state of mind, and during yesterday's recuperation, he gradually understood that he was too self-righteous, blaming himself for all the blame, and tensing his nerves too tightly.
However, while he couldn't cry or laugh, a warm current surged into his chest again, and his whole soul became transparent like never before, as if all self-blame, unwillingness, anxiety and resentment had been wiped out by this hot spring in an instant.
Although the method used by the paralyzed girl was extremely unreliable, the subtle concern conveyed by the arrangement really flowed into Ian's heart through Camilla's mouth.
"You're underestimating me, Fei'er. With a slight smile, Ian's eyes showed more tenderness than ever before.
It's just that he doesn't realize why he feels so happy to hear that someone cares about him.
And at this moment, Camilla, who was standing in front of Ian and saw this smile up close, was obviously stunned, her eyes were open and she only felt that her heart was beating faster and her face was hot.
In fact, Ian's appearance in this life is quite high, but his eyes are too slender, giving people a strong sense of majesty and distance, which makes the girls who have a good impression of him faintly afraid and dare not approach him, so that until now, he thinks that he is just a dispensable transparent existence, so that he is scolded and dulled by his bad friends.
However, at this moment, when he used the tenderness in his eyes to hide the edge, he undoubtedly unconsciously gave the girl in front of him a heavy blow.
"Ian?" Shaking her head, Camilla, whose cheeks were still a little hot, said cautiously, "You don't blame Fei'er for making her own decisions, that kid is not frank enough, but she cares about you." ”
"I know. Ian, who reminisced about it, couldn't help but smile calmly, and suddenly felt that this frozen world seemed to be much more alive. Faintly, in a very small range, he seemed to be able to slightly mobilize the speed of time in his consciousness: "Of course I don't blame her for this. ”
Seeing that Ian had regained the calmness he had seen when he was outside the circle, Camilla was stunned for a moment and suddenly showed a knowing smile: "Well, then I'll be relieved." ”
"It's just that, Camilla, I've always been weird. The silver-haired young man who had recovered his mood touched his chin and asked with an inexplicable smile: "Haven't you thought that if Lilith is caught and Mr. Adolph's innocence is proved, then Mr. Adolf and he may not have to leave?"
"Huh?"
The sakura-haired girl was visibly stunned again.
