"Mr. Grand Rogue?"

Hearing this, Jonathan knew that the main man was coming, and he skillfully climbed up to the pink curtain window on the second floor along the ornamental vines, quickly climbed into the window, wiped the footprints on the windowsill with his hands, and finally closed the window gently.

Jonathan had repeated this process many times, and his familiarity with the place was only inferior to that of the owner's house, and it was easy to deal with the traces.

When Jonathan finished these fixing processes, the first thing he saw when he turned around was the girl standing in the middle of the pink room.

The girl's appearance is very sweet, with long waist-length hair and pink nightdress, which makes her look as cute as if pink bubbles will float. However, the most conspicuous thing about the girl is her sickly white skin and closed eyes due to lack of sunlight.

"Good evening, Mr. Grand Rogue. ”

The girl beckoned in Jonathan's direction.

Jonathan suppressed his voice and made his voice sound deeper, not because he was afraid of being recognized, but simply wanted to pretend to be more mature and calm.

"Good evening, Jessica. ”

The maiden's name was Jessica Antoinette, the only daughter of businessman Benjamin Antoinette.

Jonathan and Jessica's encounter is strange or dramatic.

As the lowest thief, Jonathan is occasionally forced to commit some large-scale thefts, one of which is stealing the money that the merchant Antoinette has hidden at home.

One day half a year ago, Jonathan, as always, carried out the orders of his little gang boss and climbed into the courtyard of Antoinette's house.

Generally speaking, thieves will not choose this kind of target, even if they only need to succeed once, they can be worth fishing for a long time on passers-by, because it is too dangerous, and a slight miss may cost their lives. But there is no way, doing these dirty things is doomed to be involuntarily, the boss wants more money, and Jonathan at the bottom has to risk his life to steal, this kind of thing is too common, and Jonathan is usually numb.

Anyway, it's just a street rat that no one cares about, and it doesn't make much difference when it dies. With this mentality of breaking the jar and breaking down, Jonathan completed many difficult 'big deals', but this did not make Jonathan's life better, but in exchange for further squeezing by the boss, such as this mission.

Jonathan took advantage of the quiet and cautious action in the dead of night, bypassing the guards and bodyguards, and quietly looking for money in the house. Everything went well, Jonathan was lucky not to be found, and not only that, but also found a lot of money, money that was randomly placed in the study, plus some jewelry and small antiques that were easy to carry, these things may be a drop in the bucket for the merchant Antoinette, but for the little gangsters, it is enough to squander a huge amount of money for a while.

It was a good choice to retreat, but maybe the theft process was too simple to increase Jonathan's self-confidence, or maybe somewhere in his heart he felt better to be caught, Jonathan went up to the second floor and continued to look for valuable objects.

In the most conspicuous place on the second floor, there is a pink door. What a childish color, Jonathan thought. At a glance, you can tell that the owner is a delicate baby who is soaked in the doting of his parents all day long.

Jonathan didn't like these bear kids who took the love and happiness they received from their parents for granted, so he made this room his next target.

The lock was quickly opened, and Jonathan slowly felt his way into the room.

"Who?"

Just as Jonathan was about to close the door, he heard someone speak, and he was so frightened that he almost slammed the door, but the remaining calmness in his head still forcibly grabbed his IQ and gently closed the door.

"Is it Mr. Thief?"

Just now he was startled by the sudden sound, and he didn't have time to think about it, but now when he listened carefully, Jonathan found that the owner of the voice was just a girl, and this discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of girls, after all, he hadn't heard of any girl with muscles. Thinking about it this way, the courage to deviate from the post a little bit because of fright has also returned.

Jonathan hid in a dark corner and looked in the direction of the sound, where was a young girl, who was sitting on a pink bed, her eyes closed, and the moonlight shining through the window on the girl's golden hair.

"Why don't you speak? I don't shout. ”

The girl was so nervous that Jonathan's vigilance couldn't be raised at all.

"Why don't you call someone? I'm a thief, it's normal for people to scream when they see a burglar in the house, right?"

Jonathan must have been infected by the rough nervous girl in front of him, how could the thief explain his reaction to the thief when he encountered the thief? Or was he a little uncomfortable because he was talking to the thief face-to-face for the first time? No, whatever the reason was so stupid.

"Indeed......"

The girl made a contemplative pose.

Look, now the girl has reacted, this is simply a model of digging her own grave. Jonathan complained about his head and prepared to flee forcibly, although there was a high chance that he would die at the hands of the guards and bodyguards, but he always had to fight.

Just as Jonathan was about to rush to the window and raise his feet, the girl sitting on the bed seemed to finish his thoughts.

"But my family is a businessman, maybe we can solve the problem in a businessman's way?"

The girl said so.

"Maybe I can tell me the outside story in exchange for not calling anyone, Mr. Thief. I don't have a very good chance of leaving the house. ”

Jonathan disagreed, as many aristocratic ladies do, and it was not surprising at all.

"Are you sure? I've stolen a lot of your stuff. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jonathan wanted to hit his head hard, and there should be a limit to his memory for a long time.

"It doesn't matter, if the deal is made, that's Mr. Thief's pay. ”

What a strange guy, Jonathan was unprepared to escape. If you really call in guards and bodyguards, you don't have much hope of escaping, so you might as well bet on the deal that the girl proposed.

"Yes, but I'm not Mr. Thief. ”

Jonathan struck a pose he hadn't seen anywhere and suppressed a deep voice.

"I am a world-famous thief, and even the strongest warrior in the kingdom, Reinhardt "King Sword" Tolstoy, will be terrified when he hears my name!"

"Oh!"

Jonathan felt himself blushing, and it was so red that he could see it in the dark. accidentally blew a little too much, and the girl's timely exclamation made him even more embarrassed.

"So formally I'm Jessica Antoinette, good evening, Mr. Grand Rogue. ”

Maybe Jonathan's stupid words were used as a self-introduction, and Jessica also returned the favor seriously.

"Ahem, good evening, Jessica. ”

It's embarrassing, and a dry cough can't resolve Jonathan's embarrassment.

Fortunately, Jessica didn't notice anything unusual,

"But are you really a thief? ”

Jonathan wanted to ask Jessica, 'Do you really know what you're talking about?'

"Aren't the thieves in the story going to break into people's houses at night? Aren't they all robbing bad people to rob the rich and help the poor, but my father is not a bad person. ”

Jessica was absolutely right, but Jonathan wasn't speechless.

"The thieves in the story are all robbing the 'rich' and helping the poor, right?

Jonathan thinks he's so witty that he can think of any of these reasons.

“......”

Jessica pondered for a moment.

"It seems that this is indeed the case. ”

And then agreed.

"Isn't it true that thieves specialize in fighting bad guys......"

Jessica's voice was a little muffled, and it seemed that her longing had been shattered.

Jonathan choked on guilt and stuck in his throat, for the first time he knew how great the sin of ruining a girl's dream was, almost as good as the sum of Jonathan's steals.

"Y-Why don't you sleep so late?"

In order to divert the topic, Jonathan also worked hard enough.

Jessica paused before answering Jonathan's question.

"Because for me it's the same day and night. ”

With that, Jessica opened her eyes.

Jonathan felt his heart being pinched, a little painful, and a little bitter in his mouth.

Jessica's eyes were gray, gray, and lifeless, and even the moonlight could not reflect vitality in them.

How painful it is for a young girl who is supposed to sing the praises of youth, not to see the light, how desperate is a dark world, and of course Jonathan doesn't know, so he can't even comfort.

Jessica, who felt the heaviness through the silence, smiled.

"Please don't feel sorry for me, I've been like this since I was born, I'm used to it, or is this my life?"

-- It's really not comforting. Jonathan shook his head with a wry smile and swallowed the bitterness that spread wider in his mouth. On the other hand, it is useless to comfort yourself, but it is enough not to use it once, and even Jonathan himself will look down on himself if it continues like this.

"Hmph, don't say stupid things, I've seen more ups and downs than your hair, how can it be so simple to be sad. ”

Since it won't comfort people, it's good to use other methods, such as bragging and storytelling, in short, to liven up the atmosphere. Unfortunately, for Jonathan, who lives at the bottom of society, his verbal skills are as high as the blink of an eye.

"Let me let you hear it, the story of the world-famous thief!"

In this way, Jonathan began to tell his own story, of course, not petty theft and other small stories, he artistically processed his own story to make the story grand and magnificent. Sometimes there are questions like, 'Gee, who's going to turn the world upside down?' but that's okay, as long as it sounds interesting.

Jonathan's "The Story of a Grand Theft Antle" lasted until dawn. Before dawn, he tucked the quilt for Jessica, who had slept peacefully, and left the room lightly, then took more risks to put the thrown things back in place before turning them out of the courtyard of Antoinette's house.

Although he was beaten up by the boss afterwards for not getting anything, Jonathan was still very happy. If this cheap life can bring happiness to that rough-nerd girl who doesn't comfort people, even if it's just a little bit, Jonathan feels like he'll laugh at Jiuquan.

In this way, Jonathan became a regular visitor to Jessica's room, and whenever he had time, Jonathan would visit after midnight and tell Jessica all kinds of trivial nonsense into a rare adventure story in the world.
