Chapter 53: A kiss that confessed love and then separated...
Just as all stories have an ending, and all movies eventually come to an end, this light may have once shone on Perrance, but now it seems to be leaving.
The three-month contract has also ended.
In the hospital, there is always the smell of disinfectant.
The smell of disinfectant filled the air, as well as the dead silence.
Just now when Louis went out to talk to the doctor, Perlance called his assistant Mia. Mia was shocked when she heard Perlance's hoarse voice. Perlance could only comfort her with a few words and asked Mia to apologize to the commander of the First Legion, Hoss, on his behalf. It was not his intention for such a thing to happen, and he hoped that Hoss and others could send someone to deal with the follow-up of old man Wendy.
Such a thing happened at the wedding of the commander of the First Legion. I wonder what explosive headlines will appear on the front pages next.
I don’t know what happened to old man Wendy later. If his miserable state was discovered, it would definitely cause an uproar.
This matter is definitely not over yet.
The incident in Wenwaka was definitely not done by Perrance. If it was really done by Perrance, he would have done it more cleanly and neatly without leaving any obvious evidence.
But old man Wendy wanted to target Perlans. Whether Perlans did this or not, the result would be the same. If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. After all, the Rhine Group and the Wendy family have never gotten along.
This time, what happened to old man Wendy? I wonder what kind of butterfly effect it will have on the Rhine Group and the Wendy family.
And Perrance would not let this matter go easily, as he had countless things to deal with afterwards.
Perrance felt tired.
It's not just the exhaustion of surviving a disaster.
At this moment, he thought that perhaps he should really accept his fate. Fate would go round and round, and would eventually claim or complete it in another way.
It's so dramatic,
Louis once again saw Perrance in such a miserable state.
Maybe he shouldn't have struggled, maybe he shouldn't have wanted to keep this special male Louis.
Perhaps Perlans's illness was inherently gloomy and dark, and even if a beam of light from outside occasionally shone in, the window would eventually be closed.
He was too persistent.
He was taking it for granted.
He wanted to win Louis' favor, so he gave him money and a flying machine, but was rejected by Louis.
He wanted to retain the male insect's heart with sex and his pale body, but it turned out that this approach was completely unworkable;
He wanted to maintain his dignity in front of Louis, but ended up being seen by Louis in his most embarrassing state.
Everything has a cause, everything has an effect.
At this moment, Perlance thought that perhaps he should really accept his fate and let this male insect go.
So, when Louis came in, Perrance lowered his eyes, not looking at Louis standing beside the bed with a worried look on his face, and just asked:
"Sir, I haven't signed your resignation yet... Do you still want to resign?"
Even after experiencing the brink of life and death, Perrance's crystal blue eyes remained as calm as possible.
He could already anticipate the male insect's answer.
This is not difficult to guess. Louis has rejected him before and will probably reject him again this time.
But why did Perrance still ask, knowing that he would be rejected?
Maybe they are unwilling to give up, or maybe they still hold on to a glimmer of hope. After all, no one wants to admit that they can't satisfy the person they like even if they try their best.
Even Pearlance didn't want to admit that he might not be Louis' type.
Even Louis would stand up for him when he was in trouble, stay by his side when he needed him, and provide him with meticulous care, concern, and companionship.
But perhaps all this is just out of courtesy of this male insect.
If we replace it with a female insect, it will probably receive the same treatment.
But thinking of this, Perlans felt even more unwilling. He did not want to admit his inner jealousy. Perhaps he was really jealous of an imaginary object, the female insect who might stand by Louis in the future.
Louis is so gentle and considerate, he will definitely show concern and care to the female insect all the time.
Perrance thought in confusion:
Is this the end of it all?
"Perrance..."
Louis took two steps towards the bed, carefully reached out his hand, and touched the bandage wrapped around Perrance's neck. His eyes were full of heartache, almost overflowing with it.
He said, "I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Perrance looked at Louis with some confusion.
Feel sorry?
It is incredible that a male insect would feel sorry. Of course, Louis is different from ordinary male insects.
But, from the beginning to the end, what could Louis have to apologize for except rejecting himself?
Maybe he is the one who should apologize.
Perrance shook his head, his voice sounding a little hoarse due to the gauze wrapped around his neck:
"Your Excellency does not need to apologize. Instead, I should apologize to you... I owe you a lot of apologies."
Louis stood there, a little stunned when he heard Perrance's tone.
He just felt as if something was about to slip completely out of his palm, as if he was about to lose something and could never hold on to it again - if he missed this last chance.
Louis looked down and saw Perrance's hand.
——Covered in a layer of paleness, revealing an unspoken fragility, every bone is faintly visible under the thin skin, and the blue veins are like slender vines, winding and stretching on this pale canvas, appearing particularly clear.
When Perlance was speaking just now, his fingers curled up unconsciously and clenched into a fist, moving the needle on the back of his hand.
"Perrance, I'm sorry. I hesitated for too long... It was really not brave."
Louis tried to reach out and hook his fingers with Perrance's, opened his palm, and spread Perrance's hand flat again.
Perrance glanced at Louis, did not refuse, and tilted his head slightly, as if waiting for Louis to say the next words.
Louis looked at Perrance with a serious and solemn expression, even with a hint of self-blame:
"I should have said this earlier. It's my fault for only saying it now. The contract is over, but I don't want to...end things with you just like that."
"No, to be more precise, I hope to have a chance to pursue you."
"Let me pursue you. I've only just realized that I like you. I'm really too slow. I'm sorry. I must have made you very sad."
Perrance looked at Louis quietly, his silent eyes staring straight at Louis' expression.
“…I thought Your Excellency was still angry.”
Louis immediately understood what Purance was talking about. He smiled helplessly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked Purance in the eye.
"That kind of potion...is definitely not my style, but if you like..."
"No, not really. I don't like it."
Pearlance was a little embarrassed and even turned his head away, with a little red stain on his pale skin.
"Perrance, do you agree?" Louis' eyes were full of tenderness as he moved closer.
He just looked straight at Perrance, without any evasion or hesitation in his eyes, only pure, undisguised expression of emotion.
After really thinking it through, everything seemed to become clear.
Louis also knew that he had always relied heavily on reason and was very cautious, including when it came to his feelings.
He will weigh it, will refuse, and will rationally feel that it is inappropriate.
But maybe it wasn't that he felt it was inappropriate, it was just that Louis was panicking and uncomfortable when he really felt his heart beat.
Because I am not used to it and it is unfamiliar, I have to think over it again and again.
If you really don't like it, why would you think so much and be so hesitant?
Louis never thought that he was not brave enough, but this time, he truly felt from the bottom of his heart that he should be braver and more decisive.
"Don't look at me like that..."
Under such gazes, Perrance couldn't help but feel flustered and felt that he had nowhere to hide.
"At least give me an answer, Perrance."
Louis's hand was still hooked around Perrance's slender fingers. He touched Perrance's ring finger and then the base of the finger.
There was a tooth mark there, but it had disappeared now. Louis carefully stroked the soft flesh there.
It's like a subtle seduction.
The pheromone with the scent of Selaginella gradually overflowed into the air.
Wrapped around Perrance.
Perrance whispered, avoiding Louis's gaze, and said with a bit of embarrassment:
"Perhaps... even if I'm rejected this time, it won't be the end for me... Perhaps I'll continue to pester her..."
This is true.
Perrance felt that he probably couldn't really give up Louis completely.
This was the first, and perhaps the only, time in his life that he met a male insect he liked so much. Even though he was rejected, he was unwilling to give up.
I will definitely try it again, again and again, and again and again.
"Perrance,"
When Louis heard this, he smiled in surprise. He leaned over to Perrance and kissed Perrance's forehead.
"I'm so happy. I thought I was going to miss you. If I had missed you, I would have tried my best to pursue you."
A kiss that was fleeting and separated from her fell on Perrance's forehead, lighter than a feather.
Apart from the chaos of that day, this was the most intimate contact they had ever had, and in a sense, it was indeed their most intimate contact, a touch of heart to heart.
"Actually, I have a lot to say to you, but maybe you should rest now."
Louis touched the tip of Perrance's nose with his lips again, and the lips separated immediately.
Finally, Perrance could no longer maintain his feigned composure. A blush crept across his cheeks, and his ears became unusually red.
The fatigue just now disappeared, just like snow illuminated by the spring light, revealing its softness again.
Louis couldn't help himself, so he stretched out his finger and touched Perrance's ear.
He whispered, "My ears are all red."
Pearlance raised his eyes, feeling unusually embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at Louis slightly, but his ears turned even redder.
"Sir, you..."
"You can call me by my name, why are you being so unfamiliar, Pearlance? Are you still mad at me?"
Louis looked at Perrance eagerly.
“…”
Perrance was really a little dazed now, feeling as if he was dreaming, but he still shouted.
"Louis."
"Well, I'm here."
Louis said with a smile.
Louis seemed about to say something, but the next second, the door of the ward was politely knocked three times.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Perrance nodded slightly, and Louis stood up to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Jin Er, the first one to visit the patient.
——He was still wearing the same tuxedo he had worn at the wedding, and even carried a fruit basket. He actually remembered to prepare the fruit basket.
