Chapter Thirty-Nine: Night Whispers in the Demon Capital
Hui fell, these four simple words meant that Tang Li and Qin Yixing had completed their respective tasks, and with the help of Xiyue's strategy and Fu Bo's activity, they successfully defeated their respective opponents. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiyue and his entourage temporarily took the lead in this round of confrontation with the Mutual Aid Committee of the Demon Capital, and the remaining confrontation between Xiyue and Ying on the Nanpu Bridge was also the key to the success or failure of this battle......
Let's move the clock forward a little bit.
By the time Xiyue's battle meeting was over, the night sky in the Demon Capital had begun to turn slightly white.
Although Tang Li's villa is also in the downtown area, at this point in time, the subway and bus to go home must not have arrived at the time of the first train, although if you trouble Fu Bo to send him back, he may be able to return home before the first ray of sunshine in the morning, but out of consideration for retaining physical strength for tomorrow's battle, Xiyue decided to postpone the plan to go home, so that Xiaobai and Ah Xue will be hungry for a while.
Will tomorrow's battle go well? When did I start worrying about this kind of thing?
Thinking of this, Xi Yue let out a long sigh, and at this moment, he heard someone calling for him from upstairs.
"Hey, boy, are you interested in coming up and sitting?" the place where the voice came from was above Xiyue's head.
When he looked up, Fu Bo, who thought he was still taking care of Tang Li, was standing on the balcony on the fourth floor, waving to himself standing in the courtyard.
Tang Li's villa has a difference from other villas in the vicinity, that is, a spiral staircase leading to the balcony on the fourth floor was built in the courtyard, and it was easy to climb directly from the yard to the balcony on the fourth floor by climbing up the white stairs.
"It's my pleasure. Xiyue did not refuse the old man's kind invitation, and continued to go up the spiral stairs in the courtyard to the balcony on the fourth floor.
"Sit down. I've got coffee for you, and you can pick it up here if you want to add sugar. Fauber said softly as he poured the steaming black liquid from the glass jug into the glass.
Xiyue took the coffee and took a sip slightly, feeling the mellow aroma and bitterness of the high-quality coffee beans spreading in her mouth, revealing a very subtle expression.
"Tang Li, she has loved this place since she was a child, and if she is here, she can enjoy the scenery that you can't usually see. It is also the best place in this villa to soak up the morning light. Fauber's face showed a look of remembrance.
Xiyue didn't know why Fu Bo was saying these words to himself today, he was one of the few people he couldn't see through.
"Actually, I didn't work as a butler at first, I started working as a chef...... Later, due to coincidence, he also studied medicine for a period of time, served as a foreign soldier in the United States, participated in actual combat, drove a car after retiring, worked as a fashion designer, worked as a private detective, did many different professions, and also made some small achievements...... In the end, however, I chose to become a housekeeper. Fauber, immersed in his memories, looked to the other side of the city, as if looking at the places he had been.
"Do you like to be a butler?" Xiyue said as she took another sip of coffee and said to Fauber.
"Hmm...... Sort of, when an acquaintance recommended me to Tang Li's father, it happened to be not long after Miss Tang Li was born, due to the perennial wandering, I have not been able to get married, and of course I have not been able to have my own children, so when I saw that small, soft, angel-like little thing, my heart was immediately moved. Fauber felt nostalgic for the original years, and suddenly let out another sigh.
"However, if I had known that Miss Tang Li would encounter that kind of tragedy in the future...... To be honest, I regret it. ”
After listening to Fu Bo's opinion of the housekeeper, Xiyue did not make a sound, but continued to drink coffee quietly, he didn't know what it felt like to regret it.
"It's been a long time since I sat on the balcony and talked with people like this, and she hasn't been here since something happened to Miss's parents. Fu Bo smiled wryly and added some more coffee to Xiyue's cup.
"Xiyue, you're using Miss Tang Li. ”
Fu Bo's words made Xi Yue stunned, and he was seen through by the old man in front of him.
"I ......" Just as Xiyue wanted to say something to explain, Fu Bo spoke again: "Well, in fact, I don't care if you are using Miss or not, because Miss regards you as her true friend, this matter has always made me feel incredible, since her parents died, she is like closing herself, and she has never opened her heart to anyone." After living for so long, I have discovered that the incomprehensible is always incomprehensible, just like the strange abilities of you and Miss. Fu Bo said calmly to Xiyue.
"Don't you mind, let someone like me continue to stay by Tang Li's side. At this point, Xiyue didn't plan to make any clumsy excuses to the old man in front of her, but said her inner thoughts very frankly.
With a complicated and calm expression on his face, Fu Bo looked into Xiyue's eyes and said, "I don't mind at all, of course it's a lie, after all, Miss I grew up watching." However, Miss has been much more optimistic and cheerful lately, and she has been more heartfelt when she laughs, which was not possible before. From that, I want to thank you instead. ”
"I have no ill will towards Tang Li. There was a hint of coldness in Xiyue's eyes.
"I can tell that, although I don't know exactly what you want to do, you shouldn't hurt Miss, and I've always believed so, and if I could, I would have liked to have a time like this for a while. Let's not talk about me, Miss Tang Li probably didn't notice anything, whether she was used or not, the youth spent with her friends must be a rare treasure in Miss's life. Fauber looked at Xiyue expectantly, and there was even a hint of request in his tone.
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you anything more. I can't even guarantee that we'll be safe again after tomorrow. Xiyue put down the coffee cup in her hand, looked at Fu Bo seriously and said.
Fu Bo looked at Xiyue thoughtfully and said, "Then tomorrow's plan is really very dangerous. ”
"Well, I've been fully prepared for tomorrow's plans, but it's ridiculous to say that for the first time, I had the idea of praying to Lady Luck without taking luck into my calculations. Xiyue said with a wry smile.
At this moment, the first rays of morning light from the horizon finally broke through the shackles of the clouds, and the bright morning light gilded Xiyue's face with a layer of holy color, as if the heavens had answered his prayers......
