Sang Yi's head was a little dizzy.

It wasn't the first time he had felt this kind of vertigo, because he felt like he was getting used to it.

We're in London, and we're at some upper-class ball, and you're in need of energy. 】

Energy is needed, so what to do?

[Did the tall, handsome young man over there see it?] He is Mr. Darcy, get close to him and get energy from him, or you will faint immediately, after all, your identity is still a black household in this world, wait for me for half an hour. 】

Sang Yi saw the young and handsome man.

He stood in the corner, glass in hand, calmly watching the ballroom dancing men and women on the dance floor.

Darcy didn't really like such occasions, but he couldn't avoid them.

He tried to hide in a corner to be quiet, but soon someone came again.

He thought it was some girl again, but when he turned his head, he saw only a young boy.

The pretty face was dyed crimson, as if he was drunk, and a pair of eyes had a somewhat hazy beauty under the lamp, and they looked at him like this.

"This gentleman." His voice was also soft and melodious, "Are you also alone?" ”

Also?

Darcy didn't really want to talk to a drunkard, but strangely enough, instead of smelling alcohol from the youth who was close to him, he had a peculiar ...... Fragrance.

This made him ask, "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Sang." The young man shook his head, unable to tell whether he had leaned over him intentionally or accidentally.

"Are you drunk?"

"No, no, sir." Sang Yi's fingers gently pinched the sleeve of the man in front of him, trying to clear his mind a little, and he asked, "But if you need to, would you like to have a drink together?" ”

"Nope." Darcy refused, "But you look uncomfortable, maybe you need help." ”

"Yes......" Sang Yi moved closer to Darcy, "sir, I think it's probably too hot inside." ”

"I can take you outside to take a break and blow the wind." Darcy was tempted to push Sangyi's hand away, but the young man gripped it tightly.

"I'm sorry for you." The young man looked extraordinarily weak, as if he was about to pass out in the next moment.

Although he thought the young man was strange, Darcy still put his arm on the young man's thin shoulders and asked, "Do you need to call a doctor for you?" ”

"No need, thank you, sir, just let me rest for a while." The young man raised his face and showed a soft smile, "Sir, you are really a good person. ”

There was a chair outside, and Darcy helped Sang into the chair, and he asked, "Are you feeling okay?" ”

The energy extraction had let him go, and Sang Yi's mind was not clear again, he grabbed the energy clothes and muttered, "Maybe it's not good, can you touch me?" ”

Darcy: "......"

He was sure that something was wrong with the young man, and that he seemed to be ...... Seduce him.

Darcy knew that some nobles would play with pretty boys in private, but he had never touched them.

Now he sees Sangyi as the little lover of some nobleman.

He didn't like it, but the young man was too close to him.

This left him a little confused.

His face stiffened slightly, "I'm sorry, but this may not be the case. ”

"It's okay." Sang Yi smiled on his lips, "I can touch you, I don't need more, just touch it again." ”

Darcy, who was touched by the young man's soft fingers, didn't want to make a very rude move, but he subconsciously pushed Sang Yi away.

The back is quite a bit of a desert and escaped.

Sang Yi looked at his fingertips a little blankly, "This ......"

[That's it! You just ......]

The identity was registered, and Sang Yi's brain returned to normal.

He sat up straight, recalling what had just happened, and froze.

"I just ...... Perhaps it may have caused a psychological shadow on a gentleman. ”

"I think maybe he's going to turn out to be homophobic."

【…… But your energy extraction depends on him. 】

The system struggles.

Sangyi: "......"

How to get your image back is a very serious matter.

"You say, I said that I recognized the wrong person, will he believe it?"

【…… Maybe. 】

"Why are you here?" The master of the dance party appeared and pulled Sanyi up, "The piano is ready, it's your turn." ”

Piano?

[I will give you an identity now, you are a distant relative of Mr. Bentley, and after the family accident, you came to London with the family property to join Mr. Bentley. Of course, before you got to Mr. Bentley, you came to some dance party and put on a show...... Because the location is random, I can only give you a reasonable identity here]

[You can play the piano, don't you?] 】

The system feels great, and it's doing more and more now.

Sangyi: "......"

He can play, yes, he learned it as a child, but now does he still know how?

Sang Yi, who had been driven to the shelves, sat down at the piano.

There was a burst of applause at the ball, discussing the beauty of the new pianist.

He raised his eyes slightly, and saw that Mr. Darcy, who had been scared away by him, was still standing in the corner, looking at him stiffly.

Sang Yi subconsciously smiled.

Mr. Darcy stiffened even more, and then turned his head inch by inch, and after trying unsuccessfully to seduce him, was he going to smile at him at such a time?

This person's personality is really bad.

Seeing Darcy turn his head, Sang Yi said: "......"

He did scare Mr. Darcy.

Well, it looks like it can only be explained to this gentleman after the end...... If he is willing to listen.

However, by the time he finished playing the piano, Darcy was gone.

When Sang Yi was about to take a look, the ladies gathered around him and asked him about his work and identity.

Sang Yi could only smile and bear everyone's enthusiasm.

His distant relative, Mr. Bingley...... Haven't come yet?

[It's coming, it's on the way.] 】

The doors of the ball were pushed open, and his relatives finally appeared.

The mild-mannered Mr. Bingley was very close to Sang, and he had a great affection for his beautiful distant relative.

Although his sister said that she had never heard the name of this distant relative.

However, this is not very important, and Mr. Bingley, who received the letter, quickly set off to take Sang Yi home, but he looked around and found out that this wayward distant relative had gone to a high society ball.

……

Nigerfeld Gardens has a new owner.

The young new master was good-looking, gentle and tolerant, and he was even preparing to throw a ball.

But......

"Do I have to attend this ball?" The young man with amber eyes was not very happy, "Bentley, I don't think I have a reason to participate. ”

"Of course there is, dear San." Bentley smiled, "You're going to be the center of attention at the ball, after all, I don't think anyone can be more perfect than you." ”

"I probably don't really want to be the center of attention." Sang Yi sighed deeply, "It's good for you to go by yourself, you will definitely be loved by many people, and maybe you will be able to find the person you like immediately, after all, you are old enough to get married." ”

Bingley: "When everyone is up there, are you alone in your room?" That's pathetic, San. ”

"Don't make up for me." Sang Yi pushed the dress in front of him away, "I don't want to participate." ”

"Really?" Bentley asked.

"Of course it's true." "There's no need to lie about this kind of thing. ”

"Before, Darcy gave me a horse, and I was expecting to give it to you after the ball, but now it seems that you don't need it." Bentley sighed, "And the new piano ......"

Sang Yi's ears moved, he had indeed picked up the piano again recently.

He had also seen the horse that Darcy had given him, and it was majestic, and he had a little temper, and Sang liked it very much, but the person who gave it made him feel that he should not covet it.

But......

Bentley quietly glanced at Samye's expression, laughed secretly, and added, "It seems that the piano can only be given to someone else—"

"You obviously bought it for me, it's mine." Sang Yi was not happy, "Mine, can't give it to anyone else." ”

"It's just a ball." "Dear Bentley, I can do it." ”

"I'll have someone bring the piano to your room later." "If there's anything you need, remember to tell me." ”

Sang Yi nodded.

He hesitated and asked, "Will your friend come too?" ”

"Did you say Darcy?" Bentley said, "It's coming." ”

Sangyi: "......"

Sang didn't really want to go to the ball, even if it was the piano and the horse......

After that embarrassing prom, Sang decided to forget about the unpleasantness with Darcy at the prom.

Of course, Sang didn't know that Darcy and Bingley were friends at first.

It was only in the days that he learned from Bingley that he had a close friend named Darcy.

Honestly, it's a pretty embarrassing thing to do, and hopefully Darcy has forgotten about his humiliating act at the prom – well, though it might be a little memorable.

And, Bentley wondered, "Why is there such a big reaction at the mention of introducing you and Darcy to him?" It's like you know each other. ”

Sangyi: Hmm...... For, it is true that something very unpleasant has happened to Mr. Darcy, so there is no problem that the other party does not want to know him, and if he can, of course he does not want to have anything to do with this gentleman again.

【

Energy ......] system persistently reminds.

Sangyi: "......" The other party must be willing to let him closer, but it is clear that Darcy's attitude towards him now is to avoid him.

[So you have to be moderate.] 】

Sang Yi sighed, well, he worked hard.

After all, he scared people, not to mention becoming friends, at least the relationship should not be so stiff.

Say that you are drunk and admit the wrong person, maybe the other party will understand?

"Since you agreed, let's try on clothes." Mr. Bingley smiled gently, "Sang, you're not a rebel, are you?" ”

Sangyi: "...... No. ”

This is an opportunity that should probably not be avoided, if relations are détente.

"I don't know what happened to you and Darcy, but I swear, he's a great person to get along with." Bentley said, "I think you might as well be friends......

……

"No, they won't be friends." Darcy was determined.

Bingley wondered, "How do you know it's impossible for you to be friends if you and Sang haven't met?" He's good-looking and good-tempered, and he's not the kind of person you hate, so why can't he be friends. ”

At the dark ball, a beautiful young man wandered among the noblewomen, and a pair of amber eyes sparkled.

He won the attention and affection of everyone at the ball, and they all admired his beauty.

Only Darcy, who was standing in the corner, remembered the appearance of the young man smiling and seducing him.

He even felt that he could smell some kind of strange scent from the youth.

"Darcy?"

Seeing that his friend didn't speak, Bingley was even more strange, "Have you ever met San?" ”

He mentioned more than once that he wanted to introduce Sang and Darcy to each other, but both of them looked very resistant.

This distressed Bentley.

So this party, he must let them know.

One is his good friend, and the other is someone he cares about very much, and it is not a way to avoid it all the time.

Mr. Darcy said, "No, but I won't be friends with him, I'm not the same person with him." ”

At that time, Darcy did not know that Sang Yi was a distant relative of Bingley, so he guessed Sang Yi's identity without authorization.

But whether he was a distant relative or not, he had nothing to do with Darcy, and he would not have the slightest contact with the young man.

He was sure.

The first time they met, they pretended to be drunk and leaned on him, but when they sat in front of the piano, they were clearly sober, perhaps on purpose, Darcy guessed again.

Therefore, there must be no more contact with him.

"None of you have seen it, how can you be sure that it is not all the way?" Bentley wondered even more, "Is there something you didn't tell me?" ”

"Nope."

Darcy said lightly, "Although I can't avoid him at this ball, I will definitely not have too much contact with him, so don't introduce us to each other." ”

Bentley: "......"

He really didn't understand why.

……

The ball was scheduled for five days later, and during those two days Bentley made frequent trips back and forth to London.

Feeling bored, Sanyi pulled on the majestic horse, which no one else wanted.

"Sir, are you going out?" The maid asked.

"Hmm." Sang Yi replied, "I'll go out for a walk and come back before dinner." ”

"San."

Sang looked back, it was Bentley's sister.

"Are you going out?"

Sami replied, "Go out for a walk." ”

"Can I go along?" The girl's face was flushed, "Brother is not here, it's boring." ”

"I've said that before." Sang Yi touched his ears, he didn't know how to deal with the girl, "It's boring to stay with me, I suggest you better come back at the prom, at least there are a lot of people at that time." ”

The girl looked at him in silence for a long time before she said, "San, are you rejecting me?" ”

Sang Yi was a little dazed, "What? ”

"You know I like you, right?"

"I'm sorry." Sang Yi was a little overwhelmed after being surprised, "I think there may be some misunderstanding. ”

"I see." Miss Bingley took a step back, and she said, "I see, San, so I'll tell you now, do I like you now?" ”

"I'm sorry." Sang Yi's voice was softer, "I don't like girls. ”

Such remarks are too shocking in this era, but Sang Yi doesn't want to hide anything, let alone when he says he likes him in the face of a girl.

Miss Bingley stared at him wide-eyed for a long time before she said, "Liar." ”

"If you don't like me, you don't like me, why do you say such things." Miss Bingley stamped her foot, "Does that give you a sense of accomplishment?" ”

She turned and ran into the house.

"But." Sang Yi muttered, "I really don't like girls." ”

But this seems to be sad, is he saying it too bluntly?

【…… Pretty good. 】

In the past, it seems that few girls confess to Sangyi, maybe that's why?

Sang Yi didn't understand.

But he was not embarrassed to think about it, and if Miss Bingley thought he was intended, he could have chosen to leave Nigerfeld Gardens.

He patted the horse's mane and rode away from the manor.

……

The carriage staggered along the road.

Bentley was a little excited, "I haven't seen San for a whole day. ”

Darcy raised his eyes, he felt that something was wrong with his friend's attitude, and that the man seemed to be very good at seducing men.

That night......

"Have you ever felt that your state is not quite right?" Darcy asked, "Are you taking that person too seriously?" ”

"Is there one?" "Because Sang is so good, I like him a lot." ”

Darcy's eyebrows jumped, "You like him?" ”

"I don't think anyone would dislike him, except you."

Darcy immediately realized that Bingley's liking was not what he had imagined, and he said, "He's beautiful, but remember, he's a man." ”

Darcy doesn't have any prejudice against men liking men, but he doesn't think Sang is a good candidate.

"Oh, of course I do." Bingley was amused, "If he were a girl, I'd propose to him right away." ”

Darcy: "......"

No, it's not good.

"I know what you're thinking." Bingley smiled, "Sang and I are good friends who talk about everything, and I'm sure I'm close enough to him, but never to the extent you fear." ”

Mr. Darcy who was seen through: "...... Oh. ”

"But would you admit that Sang is pretty?" Bentley was a little surprised, "It's hard to get you to admit that someone is pretty. ”

The image of the young man supposing his head up and tugging at the corner of his shirt resurfaced, and Darcy's face stiffened again.

Pretty is real.

But audacity is also true.

And at that time, if it is discovered......

"By the way, you gave me that horse, and I gave it to San." "He's been interested in horseback riding lately, and he's rarely interested in anything, and I can't help but want to meet his needs." ”

"Are you his father?" Darcy complained and said, "But what was given to you is yours, and you can do whatever you want." ”

At this point, the young man's thin shoulders seemed to be beating under his hand again, and Darcido asked, "Can he ride a horse?" He looked weak. ”

"He'll have a lot of stuff that I don't think you can imagine." "Horseback riding, shooting, drawing, piano and boxing, although boxing doesn't seem to be very proficient, but he does know some, don't underestimate him." ”

Darcy was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the young man who looked weak and bullying seemed to be able to do anything.

"And ......"

……

Sang Yi ran around the manor and rode back slowly.

He lowered his head and rubbed the horse's mane, and said with a smile, "They say that you are very fierce, difficult to approach, and there is no one in sight, I think you are quite cute, and you will be obedient when you pull the reins." ”

The horse obediently let Sang Yi rub against it.

"Good horse, since you are mine now, then I have to give you a name." Sang Yi thought, "Otherwise, it's better to call it a little white." ”

The horses are brown and red, except for their white mane.

"You can't lose your temper with me." Sang Yi muttered.

The horses went to rub Sanyi affectionately.

Sang Yi patted the horse's fur, "Let's go, go back, at this time, Mr. Bingley should also be back." ”

Mr. Bingley did return.

The carriage was parked outside.

Sam Yi handed the horse's reins to the servant, and then stepped on the door, he smiled, "I'm back—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Caught off guard and saw Sanyi who arrived in the west: Didn't you say...... Do you want to come back at the prom?

He smiled and decided to act as if he hadn't seen Darcy, and he believed that Darcy thought the same way.

"Bentley, are you a friend?"

"Yes." Bingley was delighted, "San, this is what I told you about Darcy, he is a wonderful young man, and I think that if you get to know each other, you will be friends." ”

Sangyi: "...... Ah yes, hello Mr. Darcy. ”

Darcy watched Sang Yi perform with cold eyes, and at this moment he thought again in his heart that he would never be able to become friends with this young man who was very good at pretending. ：，m..，.
