This meal was eaten for a long time.

Or that the meal time was not long, but the three of them communicated for a long time.

When the scraps on the table were cold and almost a little condensed, Lillian called the waiter waiting outside the door and took away all the leftover food on the table.

As a result, the three of them moved to the lounge next to the dining room.

In the communication with Lilian, Nie Yuan also roughly figured out the affairs of Path Town.

As for the more detailed cases, they are all in the file she has prepared, and she can go back and study them slowly.

At this time, Qiao Qi stood up with the file in her hand, she looked at the already dim sunlight outside the window, and said:

"In that case, let's not bother Lord Lillian too much, it's not too early, I'll bring the file back and let Buck and them all evaluate it carefully."

"Okay."

Count Lilian looked up with a smile, looked at the polite and intellectual Qiaoqi, and said, "So little baby, I look forward to seeing you next time, but ......"

"But what?"

"But you can go, Nie Yuan has to stay, since the business is over, then I still have an account, and I have to settle it with him."

Qiao Qi didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Nie Yuan.

When Nie Yuan heard Lilian's words, his expression did not change, but he said leisurely:

"I'm very short on time, and I still have work to do when I go back, and the bookstore's business is ...... today."

"A gold coin for five minutes."

Count Lilian was direct and interrupted Nie Yuan's words.

domineeringly said that he was willing to use gold coins to buy Nie Yuan's time.

And the premium is still very serious, far exceeding the value that Nie Yuan can create when he goes back to work for the bookstore.

Hearing that as long as Nie Yuan was willing to stay for five minutes, he could get a gold coin, Qiao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, she still didn't speak, she still just looked at Nie Yuan, but this time there was some expectation in her eyes.

The atmosphere in the casual room is a bit silent because of this.

Because the protagonist never spoke, Nie Yuan only fell silent when he heard this, and did not express the previous attitude of "poor ghosts reincarnated and died to ask for money".

Earl Lilian looked at him and wondered if that was the case, but remained unmoved.

How could a person like him bend his waist for a mere gold coin.

What you are busy with, you have to take care of the bookstore business, all of them are excuses.

Nie Yuan didn't seem to know for what reason, and he was reluctant to be alone with him.

But just as Lilian was about to usher in Nie Yuan's rejection again, the other end slowly raised her head, and said in a somewhat dry voice:

"Do you see two gold coins?"

Count Lilian was stunned.

Before she could speak, Qiao Qi on the side clenched her fist and gave Nie Yuan a "come on" expression, saying:

"Then Count Lilian, I'll leave first, so I won't disturb you and Nie Yuan!"

"Ah, good, good......"

Count Lillian replied in a daze.

Qiao Qi didn't drag the mud and water, took the pile of files, and walked out of the leisure room quickly.

Don't forget to close the door when you go out.

Nie Yuan turned his head to look at the clock and said, "It's 4:49 p.m." ”

What that means is that the clock is starting now.

You don't have to pay for it later.

Five minutes, two gold coins, there is such a good thing in the world.

Then if I stay for ten minutes, won't I be able to buy a small house in an ordinary lot in the main city of Ruiyu.

Last time, Buck did get a good commission from Lillian.

But the vast majority of that commission was used by himself.

Needless to say, the bio-mechanical energy core that was used to forge their own hearts, as well as those coins, most of them were given to the Aztecs.

Let them give flowers on the way to find other heart raw materials for themselves.

Part of the rest of the money was purchased for other alchemy materials, and he would definitely use it in the future.

A small portion of it was used as public money for Buck's Bookstore to maintain the bookstore's operations and the food and clothing of his companions.

I still use it every day.

So far, Nie Yuan has not contributed much to the bookstore, including Mrs. Auston, and he has only gone to pick up people's heads.

In the end, the core of the disaster source that fell was still used on himself.

Nie Yuan thought to himself, if I earn a few gold coins and run away, you can't whip me, right?

Can you beat me?

If you want to exchange knowledge about the outer gods, then you just don't talk about it.

Wouldn't it be nice to wait for me to go back and invite the big guy to a big dinner with my easily earned gold coins, buy a small dress for Nancy, and customize a few sets of XXXXXXXL clothes for Gustav.

Count Lilian was relieved at this time, and she looked at Nie Yuan's gaze, becoming more and more speechless.

"That's all you have?"

"Let's swap our wealth, maybe it's not as good as me."

"You ......"

Earl Lilian was a little speechless, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Perhaps, I have indeed seen a lot of examples of people who turn against each other and give up their dignity because of some money.

But...... I always feel that this should not happen to you, you should have character, connotation, and pride. ”

Nie Yuan was unmoved when he heard this, and said, "Let go of your illusions about me, Lilian, I told you my true appearance a long time ago."

Again......

I earn money by my ability, where is there no arrogance?

Am I selling my dignity? No. ”

"Ability?"

Lilian's expression was strange, and she said, "Although I have to admit that you are indeed very talented, but at this moment, it is really difficult for me to divide it into the fact that you are making money by your ability." ”

Nie Yuanyi said righteously: "Do you want to recruit a passer-by at random and become your close aide Lilian, if so, then I have nothing to say, if not, don't you value my ability, what is it?" ”

Although I don't actually have the ability to be a member of the royal family.

But let you have the illusion that I "can be a high-end staff", that's also the ability!

Anyway, my stomach is fine!

Say whatever you want!

"...... said It seems to make some sense~"

Lilian thought for a while, then placed her palm on Nie Yuan's shoulder.

Then, he suddenly leaned his head closer and looked at Nie Yuan carefully, as if he was smiling.

Nie Yuan only felt a faint fragrance coming, and a few strands of hair swept across his face, a little itchy and swishing.

Lilian's palm swirled around his shoulder, making Nie Yuan's figure stiffen slightly.

It's not that he's scared of the current scene, but there are some other reasons.

Lilian leaned in again, her expression even more subtle, and Nie Yuan could even see the fine pores under the smooth stratum corneum on her face.

"Are you enduring something, Nie Yuan? Quick, look me straight in the eye, two gold coins in five minutes, it's not so easy to earn. ”

Ooh!

Nie Yuan turned his head abruptly, just as Lilian said, looking at her without the slightest timidity, only some kind of serious and serious, indescribable deep meaning.

"Wait, Lillian."

"What's wrong?"

Lilian tilted her head, the corners of her mouth hooked, but a hint of confusion appeared between her eyebrows.

Nie Yuan stood up and said solemnly, "I'll go to the toilet." ”

With that, he helped Lillian to lean on the other side of the couch, but he got up and walked slowly to the bathroom.

Click~

Lock the door of the restroom.

Nie Yuan stood still in front of the sink and bent down to wash his face.

Then he propped his head in his hands and closed his eyes.

He was feeling something, and wondered if he should bring back more gold coins.

About two or three minutes passed.

During this period, Nie Yuan remained motionless.

No one came to rush him.

Slowly opening his eyes, Nie Yuan looked at himself in the mirror, his expression much calmer.

Because he felt it just now, his current state seemed to be barely normal, and he wouldn't be the same as those inferior undead monsters.

Opening the door, Nie Yuan walked out, calming down a lot.

And Lilian naturally heard the movement, supported her chin with one hand, leaned on the other side of the sofa, and looked at Nie Yuan who came over with appreciation.

"What did you do?"

"I'll ...... Something was verified. ”

"Is that verified?"

"Well, almost."

"Tell me what you think."

Feelings?

How can that explain it to you.

Nie Yuan didn't know what this guy meant.

But looking at Lilian's interested gaze, she still tried to follow her and said:

"Some time ago, my heart was empty and numb, and I lost what was there with a very important thing.

I try to find the fullness of the past, and when I find a better substitute, perhaps the five flavors of the world, the sorrows and joys of the world, which were once so far away from me, can gradually become clear.

I ......"

"Alright, no need to say it."

Count Lilian interrupted Nie Yuan's words again, looking at his gaze, which made Nie Yuan feel inexplicable and feel that the friendship was complicated.

She pointed to the droplets of water on Nie Yuan's cheeks and said, "Wipe the droplets off your face, I know what you mean, really...... I understand it very well. ”

Nie Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

You know what I mean?

Got it?

I don't really understand what I'm saying.

It's just that I took your money, and I feel sorry for it, and I look like I'm looking forward to it again, and I want me to hold back something.

That's when I got the bullet and came to a "stream of consciousness", I gave you an abstract description of what happened to me.

In my previous life, I was an orphan and had never experienced the feelings of a normal family.

In this life, I came to another world, lost my heart, and lost my sense of pain.

It is completely true to say that ordinary people can experience the five flavors of the world, and they are so far away from me.

But I'm just about to get into the mood, and I'm going to incite the love first, and I'm just talking about the beginning.

How do you understand what I mean?

I can't even figure it out!

"You just went to calm down, didn't you?"

Lilian looked at Nie Yuan, who stretched out his hand to wipe the water droplets on his face, but his heart was dazed, and said.

Then before Nie Yuan could answer, her eyes were a little fluttering, as if she was thinking about something, and said:

"Maybe everyone has an unforgettable memory, but you and I can't forget it, perhaps, it has become an obsession.

The figure in the deepest part of the heart, the past of intertwined grievances, is not at all indulgent to be able to let go of it.

You said that you lost her in the depths of your heart, and since then she has become empty and numb, as if she has lost the five flavors of the world, how can I not have such an experience. ”

His eyes were full of stories.

Overflowing with infinite lamentation.

Nie Yuan seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment.

So......

Did you misunderstand something with Buck when they first met me?

I said that I was empty and numb inside, and that I had lost something.

It's not that I have experienced any life and death, love and hatred.

It's not just that I have a girl I can't forget!

It's that I really lost my heart!

I went to wash my face, not to calm myself.

It's about feeling your physical state, whether it's still normal!

So what kind of long story did you make up in your head......

You people, is brain replenishment an innate ability......

Nie Yuan's absurd discovery that so far, everyone he has met likes to make imaginary speculations about himself!

That's true of Buck's fellow booksellers, this is true of Bishop Quentin, and so is Count Lillian!

It's all about putting yourself in the awesome boom, hiding it deeply, and knowing the extraordinary direction to make up for it!

I've only been in another world for a few days.

Where did you get so much profound knowledge accumulation, unpredictable superb intelligence, and unbearable love and hatred!

"Well, I'm going to calm down a little bit and feel my true heart."

Although the mental activities are very rich, on the surface, Nie Yuan's eyes are still deep and he speaks indifferently.

Since you've already helped me make up the wonderful "character backgrounds" in my brain.

That's fine.

I'm just going to calm down.

When Earl Lilian heard this, he looked at his expression, and his admiration was already overflowing, and a slight crimson hung on his cheeks, and said:

"I really didn't misunderstand you Nie Yuan, you are different from other pretending people, I prefer to have soul blending with sensible and knowledgeable people than beasts that can't hold themselves."

"Slightly agreed."

Nie Yuan didn't bother to say anything.

Yes, you're right.

I'm not pretentious at all.

I'm that different, otherworldly, knowledgeable, and unbelievable genius.

I'll admit it, right?

Don't pretend.

And there was a showdown.

Count Lilian, who was full of queen fan, actually had some eyes at this moment, she looked at Nie Yuan, who was standing there with an indifferent temperament, and said:

"If you want to go, just go, I won't stop you, I won't force you to do anything, there will be a lot of time in the future, I hope to see for myself the day when the dusty glacier in your heart is touched and melted."

"I ...... I'll be there later. ”

"Wait?"

"Well, thirty-eight seconds later, thirty-seven, thirty-six, thirty-five......"

Count Lilian was stunned at first, and then followed Nie Yuan's gaze and looked behind him, and instantly understood everything.

Full of speechlessness, helplessness, absurdity, appreciation, slots......

All "poof" like colored powder exploded, turning into a helpless smile.

If the spring breeze blows through the sea of roses, the flowers will bloom and be brilliant and delicate.

I saw the clock behind me, and there were still thirty seconds to go-

4:59。
