What caught Roshi's attention was a sound coming from the garden, and Roshi recognized it for a while before he heard it was a woman's cry, the voice was very small, as if it was deliberately suppressed, and there was a slight familiar flavor in the tone.

He subconsciously changed the small pebble path below that longed for the sound, and walked over, and in a rose planting area, a girl was curled up in the flowers, burying her head between her knees.

Roshi looked at the girl in front of him unexpectedly, because the girl in front of him he knew, it was the Christina from Rogue Town.

"Miss Christina?" he walked over and crouched down slowly

Hearing the voice, Christina's body trembled slightly, then put away her crying, and after a while, she slowly raised her chin.

"I'm fine, I just accidentally fell and—" She was justifying her crying in light-hearted terms, but Rosie could clearly hear the tremors in her voice.

Then, she finally saw Luo Xi standing in front of her, and her original defense came to an abrupt end, and tears rolled down her eyes: "Wow!~ Uncle Luo Xi!"

She hugged Rosie and cried bitterly, this picture Rosie always felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, it felt as if she and her companions had come to her house to make trouble and were left behind.

Roshi felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Although wizards and humans are two different creatures, they are the same in terms of basic structure, not to mention that Roshi still retains the emotions and thinking logic of ordinary humans, and being held by such a young girl, as he has never had intimate contact with women, is naturally a little strange.

In this way, Christina was held and cried for a long time, until Roshi's squatting legs were a little sore, and Christina let go of both arms.

"I'm sorry. She said

"It's fine. Roshi moved his knees, changed positions, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" Christina?"

Christina didn't answer, but wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and then gave Roshi a far-fetched smile: "I'm fine, Mr. Roshi, thank you, I'm sorry just now, I was rude." ”

After a pause, she glanced at Roshi's outfit and then changed the subject: "Are you going to attend the academy's celebration party now?"

Christina obviously had something to do, but she said so, and Roshi naturally didn't want to ask much, so she nodded and smiled: "Yes, the dean invited it, and this celebration looks very interesting." ”

A hesitation flashed in Christina's big beautiful eyes, and by the moonlight, Rosie noticed that she seemed to want to say something to herself, but the words came to her lips and swallowed back.

She then stood up from the ground and put on a smile and said, "Well, I'll go with you, if you don't dislike it." ”

"Of course not. Luo Xi smiled, but then he raised his eyebrows again, and asked unexpectedly, "But... You shouldn't be going to the prom..."

Eventually, Roshi's voice faded because he noticed that Christina was wearing a plain floral dress, not the one that the ball should have.

Christina shook her head: "I'm not going to attend this year's prom. ”

"Huh?" Roshi was surprised, after all, she had been practicing dance so seriously and hard during this time, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it harshly.

"It's not strange, I just suddenly figured it out, in fact, it didn't make much sense, it was just a party of boring people comparing vanity. ”

Roshi looked incredulous.

Everyone understands this truth, and I believe she didn't just understand it today, and using this as an excuse to give up participating in the ball is obviously a bit unconvincing.

I guess it's an emotional setback.

Thinking about it, Luo Xi felt that there was only such a possibility, but personal emotions were the most complicated, and he couldn't interject into his mouth, so naturally he didn't want to ask too much.

Nodding, Roshi said, "Okay." ”

The two walked through the garden corridor, in front of which was the square, and in one corner of the square, there were already rows of horse-drawn carriages, and a red carpet was laid out in the corridor next to it, leading to the auditorium of the college, which was an area reserved for the nobility, and was guarded by guards even on the day of the celebration.

From afar, you can see from time to time a nobleman dressed in gorgeous and heroic clothes step down from the carriage, and walk elegantly towards the auditorium with a female companion in a beautiful dress.

As she walked over, Christina's eyes visibly looked over there, and when she saw that Roshi was looking at her, she diverted the subject.

"By the way, Mr. Roshi, I haven't asked you why you came to Eiffel City all of a sudden? Ready to settle here?"

"No, I'm leaving in a while. Roshi shook his head

"Oh. Christina nodded, looking relieved.

I'm just so unwelcome?

Roshi was surprised, and he smiled curiously, "What? Why do I feel like you want me to get out of here as soon as possible, don't tell me it's a delusion." ”

"It's not either..."

Christina avoided Roshi's gaze and was silent for a moment, then she raised her chin again and sighed, "Okay, Mr. Roshi, I think you should know about this matter. ”

After a pause, she suddenly frowned and asked, "Do you remember George?"

"Hmm. Roshi nodded, mainly because Christina often talked about him these days, and Roshi naturally had some images.

"I didn't think George was a narrow-minded villain. Christina's chest rose and fell when she said this, and she said very angrily: "For the little contradiction last time, he has been hanging in his heart, if he hadn't said it yesterday, I wouldn't have known that he was going to find someone to hurt you." ”

"Contradiction?" Roshi was a little puzzled, and after thinking seriously for a while, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh, do you mean the thing he came to borrow the book before?"

"Yes. Christina nodded: "Actually, I don't think it's a problem at all, but he said that you made him very faceless that day, and he didn't teach you a lesson... I'm sorry..."

It can be seen that this George's words in front of Christina must not be so gentle, which is very surprising to Roshi, is it that a little thing has evolved to this extent?

Christina then persuaded: "George's father is a viscount, and he has a lot of power in the city, if you don't have anything to do in the city, then I hope you can leave as soon as possible, I'm sorry, maybe I don't like what I said, but..."

Speaking of this, she smiled with a bit of bitterness: "The world is like this, some games can only be participated in by adults, and children are destined to play in it unhappily." ”

Roshi was silent for a moment, he didn't answer Christina, but suddenly asked, "So, is it because of this that you didn't go to the ball today?"

"I tried to stop him. Christina did not deny it: "After all, this incident started because of me." ”

After a pause, she added, "What's more, if it wasn't for you, maybe I would have died in that forest, but I'm sorry, I've done my best..."

By the end of the day, Christina's voice was already small.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Luo Xi could basically imagine it, after all, she was just the daughter of a scholar, and the other party was a nobleman, so it was good to have the courage to stand up.

"Well, okay, I see. Roshi nodded.

After a pause, he glanced at the brightly lit auditorium over there, and then looked at Christina: "It's sad that you've been practicing dance for so long, but you don't even have a chance to show it, right?"

Christina hesitated, but quickly shook her head: "You don't have to feel guilty about this, I still have a lot of opportunities, I just missed this year." ”

Shaking his head, Roshi chuckled: "Time is very precious for people, if you miss this time, you will miss the meaning of this ball, and next time, maybe the meaning will be different." ”

Speaking of this, he took a step back, pressed his left hand on his chest, bent down slightly, raised his right hand and circled up and down twice in front of him, and very gentlemanly handed out an invitation to Christina:

"Miss Christina, may I have the pleasure of inviting you to a dance?"
