Seeing this, Roderick hurriedly chased after him, worried that something might happen to the little Duke.

He now hated himself in his heart, hating himself for hurting the person he loved the most again.

But the boy was too soft-hearted. Faced with such a hateful self, he didn't even bite hard.

The body of a level five knight is very strong, and Chen Tian’s force was just a light touch to him, and his skin probably didn’t even turn red.

Fortunately, the young duke seemed to have a good sense of direction, and he actually ran straight back to the carriage. The people who were originally looking for them were relieved when they saw them rushing back.

Only Belinda, who arrived a little earlier than them, came out with a tired look on her face. When she saw the two people safe and sound, her eyes were full of hatred.

Naturally, Roderick and Chen Tian had no time to pay attention to the time-traveling woman. The man now anxiously wanted to stay with Chen Tian, ​​worried about his condition, but he didn't dare to push him too hard.

Knowing that the young duke probably didn't want to see him, he could only wait outside anxiously.

He kept a close eye on the carriage. Even during breakfast, the occupants still hadn't emerged. They made no further requests, ignored them, and remained silent even after they were on the road. Even during lunch break, they still refused to emerge.

Although Lulu said that their master had dined in the carriage, he had clearly had the barbecue brought in and then brought out again in the same condition.

This is not eating at all, I'm afraid he didn't eat anything at all!

Thinking of this, Roderick became extremely anxious. No matter how angry the boy was, he shouldn't joke with his own body, but all this was his fault.

Thinking of this, the man felt that he must have a good talk with the little duke if he really didn't want to see him.

Then I will leave the team and protect him in secret!

So, Roderick made up his mind and came to the carriage, but was stopped outside by Lulu.

However, Lulu's attitude was quite good. She smiled at him and said, "The master said he wanted to be alone for a while. Sir Knight, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"I must speak to Duke Gosset in person. Please inform him on my behalf."

Roderick's attitude was very firm, and Lulu couldn't refuse. She went in for a while before lifting the curtain and nodding to the man.

Roderick got on the carriage and opened the curtain, then he saw a young man wearing a white shirt and leaning against a blanket in the carriage.

The boy's eyes were red, and his pitiful appearance filled his heart with guilt and a desire to protect him. At the same time, his self-blame deepened.

“I’m sorry, Lord Gosset, I know I’m not worthy of you to forgive me, and I don’t know why it happened.

I know it's useless to say anything. After all, all of this is my fault. I just hope you don't hurt yourself in any way."

When Roderick said this, he looked at Bai Su earnestly, quietly waiting for his answer.

But he saw the boy opposite him with his head down. After a while, he raised his head while biting his lip, with an obvious blush at the corners of his eyes, and said to him, "Forget it, I already know what's going on.

Actually, the night before yesterday, after you left, I asked someone to investigate. It was because the store owner gave everyone milk wine that you lost control.

As for this time, it’s not just you who is wrong, I am also wrong.

After I got back, I asked Lulu about it. She added a little rum to the cake for flavor. You can't taste it when you eat it. I don't know much about these production processes, so I didn't know. That's why I gave it to you.

So I am also responsible for the outcome last night."

"So that's how it is!"

Roderick suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this. No wonder that happened just because he ate a cake. It turned out that rum was added to it.

However, he had heard before that adding a little of this sweet wine to many pastries would make them taste better.

He had no habit of eating cakes in the past. He lived a frugal life and would not eat these snacks. At most, he would receive some ordinary-tasting cookies made by Winnie. This was the first time he had eaten a cake with rum added.

But regardless of whether the cake was involved, he was the one who hurt the little duke. Roderick believed that this could not be used as an excuse, so the guilt in his heart did not decrease at all.

"But the main fault is mine," Roderick said hastily. "Whatever I can do to cheer you up is fine. Will you please stop skipping meals?"

The man tried his best to comfort the person in front of him, but who knew that after he said this, the boy's eyes became red again.

Seeing tears about to fall, Roderick panicked instantly.

He hurriedly felt his pockets, but there was no handkerchief. He looked at the rough cuffs and it seemed unsuitable for wiping his tears. So he could only carefully grab the blanket covering the boy and put it to the corner of his eyes, clumsily wiping his beloved's tears.

"You, please don't cry! If there's anything I said that's wrong, just tell me and I'll definitely change it!"

"Then what about what you said when you did those things to me those two nights!" Chen Tian waited for Roderick to accuse him.

"What did you say?"

Roderick was completely stunned. Did he not only force the boy, but also say something offensive when hurting him?

Swallowing subconsciously, the man said nervously, "What did I say? Whatever I said, it definitely didn't come from my heart! Duke Gosset, please don't pay attention to those nonsense words. They were all nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little duke opposite him suddenly widen his eyes and said angrily: "So what you said about liking me is all lies! You also said that you love me, you said you are willing to give everything for me!

You even said you wanted to be with me forever, but it was all fake? You liar!

"What?"

Did I actually say that?

Roderick was shocked. He didn't expect that after getting drunk, he would say the truth. But these were all true. He didn't lie!

But considering what he had just explained to the little duke when he was in a hurry, the man's heart sank instantly. He waved his hands frantically and said, "No, no, these are all sincere!

I don't remember what I said when I was drunk, I thought I said something offensive! But if I said I loved you, then it was true! "

After Roderick finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a moment. Chen Tian suddenly became quiet, his eyes evasive, his cheeks flushed, and some speculation suddenly arose in the man's heart, and he couldn't help but feel some hope.

Chen Tian seemed a little agitated, and after calming down for a while, he faced his lover and said, “That time in the town was the first time someone treated me like that.

I, I was very confused at that time.

I am a traditional person. I have always wanted to give everything to my future partner without reservation, but you...

You told me it was an accident, but it happened again last night. You saw everything about me, and…"

The boy's words were halting and choked with sobs, but after hearing what he said, Roderick only felt more heartbroken.

"Actually, I always thought you were pretty good before that. I started paying attention to you after you saved me in Gray Tower City. Later, when that happened between us, I paid even more attention to you, so I asked Lulu to find out about you.

Lulu came back and said that when she chatted with the people in the team, they said that there was always no one else around you. They also said that you are a very good person and have great prestige in the team.

Actually, I think you're pretty good too. You look pretty good, and you have a nice figure, so I thought, actually, you're pretty good too. Since we're already like this, maybe it's okay, it's okay..."

The little duke's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. Although some of his words were a bit arrogant, he was just like that in his daily life. His insincere expression only made men feel cute.

What's more, not only his face, but even his ears and neck are red.

Roderick could imagine that the body covered by the clothes should also be dyed a shy pink.

As for what the young man meant by "can", he already understood. The young duke meant that they might be able to be together.

Roderick was hit by the huge surprise in an instant and didn't know what to do. He heard Chen Tian on the other side say with some sadness: "I have been giving you opportunities, waiting for you to confess to me. But after that, you never confessed.

In that case, why did you do this to me a second time!

You said so many things to me yesterday, making me think that you had feelings for me, but when I woke up the next day, you had changed again!

Not only did you not confess your feelings, but you also kept apologizing. You simply don't want to take responsibility. You only say those sweet words to deceive me when you force me! You've been playing with me all this time!"

At this point, the boy's eyes were filled with fierce tears. He lowered his head and quickly buried it in the blanket. He looked as pitiful as he could be, and his questioning made Roderick completely speechless.

Confess? The little duke was sad because he didn't confess?

This answer was dreamy and sweet. It wasn't that he didn't want to be with his sweetheart. He wanted to be with her so much. Although what happened these past two nights was a combination of coincidences, he truly loved this person and was willing to give everything for him.

But he always felt that he was not worthy of his little duke, and most importantly, he felt that he was an abuser and a hurter from beginning to end.

From this perspective, how could he have the nerve to say he loves the person he hurt? He has no right to do so!

That's why Roderick didn't say anything, fearing that his confession of love would only make the boy more frightened. However, he didn't expect that his forbearance would be misunderstood, and his beloved would think that he was irresponsible.

"No, that's not the case!" Roderick explained anxiously.

"My Lord Duke, I truly adore you! You have no idea how beautiful you are. The moment I first saw you, I fell deeply in love with you! But I also know that with your nobility, I am not worthy of you, and I have hurt you. I am just, I am just afraid that I will disgust you even more!"

The man's eyes were earnest, and he stared at Chen Tian intently.

"You're lying to me again, I don't want to believe you!"

Chen Tian saw that the emotions were almost there, and he was secretly delighted. He immediately started to act out. He even pretended to push Roderick, saying with a face full of grief and anger: "You are simply playing tricks on me and deceiving me again and again! I will not let you trample on my feelings again, get out of here!"

Seeing the little duke crying stubbornly across from him, Roderick felt so distressed that he couldn't bear to leave. He gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. He hugged the duke and kissed him hard.

It was rare for two people to kiss each other in such a sober state, and both of them were shocked.

Now Zi Chentian forgot about his mischief. He was having a great time acting, but his partner turned out to be so supportive!

He really liked this development!

The author has something to say:

Chen Tian: Come on, let’s act!
