Chapter 202: The Ritual of Rejuvenation
Because of Meg's presence, today's Ivas did not go to the White Shoes Club. Instead, he left with Meg after class.
To his surprise, Meg eventually led him to Ivus's own dormitory.
14 Ronning Street.
Meg also seems to have the key to this villa.
I don't know if it was the prerogative of the school dean, or if Isabel gave it to her...... Judging from the fact that Isabel didn't mention a word, Ivas thought it should be the former.
"Sit down, boy."
Meg sat down in the drawing-room and handed Lily the wine she had in her hand.
At the same time, the old lady casually asked, "Can I drink?" β
"What kind of wine is this?" Ivas didn't quite know the bottle.
"Fino Shirley, no lie."
Meg concluded: "Sweet. β
"That's fine."
Ivas gladly replied.
Seeing Meg's friendly attitude, he gradually let down his guard.
If the old lady really came to settle accounts with herself, she probably wouldn't invite herself to drink.
Although I haven't eaten dinner yet, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is not good for my health...... But since it's sweet, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Lily expertly poured wine and ice cubes for the two of them. Then he folded his hands and stood quietly behind Ivus.
"Hey, you sit too."
Meg smiled and said to Lily, "There's no need to talk to me about this etiquette, and I'll have a drink for yourselfβno problem, boy?" β
"Of course." Ivus nodded happily.
He certainly didn't have any idea of "such an unruly" idea. It's better to say that he and Lily are quite casual when there are no outsiders.
Although Lily is sometimes shy, she is actually quite happy.
But that's in private.
Now in front of Meg, the great arbiter, she will still be a little uneasy. Since she was not familiar with Meg, she didn't know if it was just a polite mention or if she really thought so.
But since Ivas has spoken, she can only listen to her master.
As Lily poured the wine, Meg took a sip of the wine and said directly, "I say, boy." What do you think of little Isa? β
Her hands shook subconsciously, and she almost didn't spill the wine. Fortunately, Lily's hand was steady, so she only swayed a little.
"Very nice girl...... What's wrong? β
Ivus hesitated, but replied anyway.
"Oh," said the old lady lightly, "when are you going to get married?" β
"Ahem, ahem......"
Ivus coughed up a sip of wine.
ββappeared, and the elders urged marriage when they met symbolically!
Isn't it, you don't even lay the groundwork?
"This ......"
Aihuas smiled helplessly: "Let's wait a little longer......"
"Wait? What's wrong, do you have any other girlfriends? β
"Not really."
"Really? [Tell the truth]. β
"Not really."
Ivas replied affirmatively, "I haven't had a girlfriend yet." Also, Dean Meg...... Can you not use words with me? β
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Meg nodded calmly: "I'm usually used to it." Since you don't like it, you won't after that. After all, this is not an interrogation, just a conversation.
ββ¦β¦ But you've never had a girlfriend? According to my research, that's not how you look......"
"Wind criticism is wind evaluation, and people are people."
Ivus shook his head: "Many girls of this age don't understand why they are throbbing. Maybe it's just a serious help, maybe it's a nice thank-you, or maybe it's a physical contact. But I don't think they're really looking into their hearts. β
"Oh, I see."
Meg clasped her hands to her chest and concluded, "It means that you are on the side that is being chased, and you are not being caught up - what kind of traditional lady are you?" It's too hard to chase after such grinding and chirping, right? You're not going to be alone, are you? β
"Ah, that's not going to ......"
Eivas took a casual sip of his drink. Lily, who was on the side, also took a sip as if nothing had happened, and then was choked and coughed softly.
Meg glanced at her, and then suddenly said, "Oh, yes. You kid has a valet to men.
"How old did you start?"
"When the young master was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was just enlightened at that time. And I was about twenty-two or three. β
It wasn't Ivus who answered, it was Lily.
She said seriously: "After that, it has been until now."
"It's the duty of a valet to be a valet In order to prevent the young age, he left his illegitimate daughter outside...... That would be the handle of the family. At the same time, it is also so that you don't have too much desire when you were young, and you are easily deceived by others, or you have no intention of studying.
"Anyway, in the end, it's basically a family marriage. If you have your own lover before that, it will become very troublesome. What's more, according to the young master's character, it is easy to provoke people. If he can't control it himself, it's easy to get into trouble. β
She blushed a little when she first spoke, but then gradually turned as usual: "But except for me, the young master has not touched anyone else." β
ββ¦β¦ Your knight family is really playing. β
But Meg's expression was a little complicated.
But that's normal.
Teenagers are easy to get hot. After all, she herself came from that time, and she still understands.
But......
Meg looked at Lily and asked, "Aren't you an illegitimate daughter yourself?" β
"Yes," Lily nodded, "so I don't want anyone to live a miserable life like I do." β
"It's unlikely, right? Although this little fox looks quite flowery, it shouldn't be a scumbag like Charles. β
Meg scolded someone unceremoniously.
Charles is Lily's biological father. The one who murdered her mother and wanted to murder her own daughter...... Charles Drost, who doesn't even remember Lily's voice at all.
ββ¦β¦ And that's not the only reason. β
Lily shook her head, very stubborn: "Bastards are always bad, it's not honorable. It will only make everyone unhappy. β
She is clearly very firm on this topic.
So Meg didn't go any further.
Meg looked back at Eivus, "So, you don't want Isabel to let go of her reserve and identity to chase you, do you?" β
"I just don't think she knows anything about me."
Ivas held his glass and whispered, "A large part of her understanding of me and her affection for me came from our first meeting in a dream. Her perception and expectations of me may be misaligned...... What she likes may not be me, or it may just be a 'fox' in her dreams. β
He couldn't usually say these things to anyone.
It was rare to meet Meg, a respectable elder with a very strict mouth, and finally be able to say a few words.
The relationship between the two in the dream is that of a close couple, and she is also the "mother of Ivus". Such an intimate and complex relationship can easily intoxicate a girl who has never been socially exposed. It's like a dream lover from the sky.
"But it's immoral to take advantage of her psychedelic feelings."
Ivas said solemnly, "Besides, I'm not ready to get married yet. So please don't mention it again. β
Although it seems to be very attentive, he usually only flirts and does not give goods.
Because he is actually very cautious about his feelings, he is very worried that he will choose the wrong person, and he is also worried that the other party will choose the wrong person.
If you want to choose a lover, then you must be the person whose personality and habits are most suitable for you, who confirms that the other party really loves you, loves her enough, and can accompany you to the end.
If, after the relationship is confirmed, there is a regret or even just a moment of unhappiness between the two parties, then Ivas considers the relationship to be sloppy and incomplete.
ββ¦β¦ It's a strange emotional perfectionist. β
Meg has clearly seen too much. She revealed the essence of Ivus with a single word.
She sighed, "That's not a good object...... Little Isha came up and chose such a difficult opponent for herself. β
"Not an opponent."
Ivas corrected: "In the way of feelings, the two sides are not competitors. It's a partner...... You don't have no experience, do you? β
"Hahaha, you dare to say, you kid!"
When Meg heard this, she was overjoyed and laughed.
She drank the wine from her glass, leaving only a large cube of ice to fall back into her glass with a thud.
Watching Lily pour herself wine, she burped.
"I've been young, too."
Meg sighed, "But he died early...... Probably in his early thirties, right? β
"Killed in battle?" Ivus guessed.
"Oh, you're overestimating him. He's not that awesome. β
Meg summed it up simply and bluntly in a very vulgar dialect: "He was so mad when he went out on an expedition that he was eaten by a dragon." We had just gotten married, and we didn't even have a cub left. β
β¦β¦ No, I think it's a lot worse than dying in battle.
Ivus thought to himself.
How many people have never seen a dragon in their lifetime...... Nowadays, many young people even think that dragons are just a legend that does not exist.
Ivus knew of course that dragons existed, but he knew better that dragons were very rare.
"So I probably understand your thoughts. I don't think it's right, but I don't think it's wrong either. β
Meg sighed and raised her glass, "If only you were a playboy with low morals." Then I could just talk to Isabel. Maybe she'll cry for a while, but it's better than challenging the dragon. β
"It's not like a dragon......
"Oh, not necessarily." Meg's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
She scoffed, "Don't mention that." Little Isa, what are you going to say? β
"Let's get along a little longer...... At least a few more promotions. β
Ivas replied, "Sherlock's words alone may not help herβthe main thing is that she may not listen to Sherlock's commands." β
Sherlock and Isabelle's personalities are clearly incompatible.
Despite Sherlock's loyalty to the Queen, the first time they met in a dream and neither knew anyone, they were able to argue so fiercely. It is precisely because the identity of the other party is not clear that it can reveal its own attitude.
Later, after Sherlock recognized the identity of "Lulu", his attitude changed significantly.
But that's not good.
It's not good for Sherlock, because he obviously doesn't want to take Isabel, and even Isabel is a drag bottle for him; And it's not good for Isabel either...... Because she was too emotional to understand Sherlock's reasoning and planning.
And Ivas can act as a lubricant.
He can be friends with most peopleβas long as it's not someone he hates. If it's someone he hates, then Ivas just wants him dead.
"But I may not live that long."
Meg frowned, wondering if she should push again.
At this moment, Aihuas's brow was loosened.
"It's easy."
Ivus said briskly, "Do you want to live longer?" There's a way on my side. β
ββ¦β¦ To be clear, I'm disgusted with twilight and an outcast of sand timepieces. Neither the longevity of Equilibrium nor the Way of Dusk will work. Meg reminded.
"I know."
Ivus nodded, "There are other ways on my side.
"For example, breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly...... The ritual of rejuvenation. β
The second chapter is still about two o'clock~
The routine collapsed again, and I fell asleep at half past four last night (pounding the ground)
