Jealousy (14)
The advantage of being in love is probably that Song Shu doesn't care about anyone except Alice.
For example, when Song Shu knew that he had eight classes a week in the college, Alice's class had four classes, which meant that Song Shu could meet Alice four times a week.
Four times! Just four times brought tears to Song Shu's eyes. She had never felt that she loved class so much.
Moreover, Song Shu and Alice's relationship has made great progress this week - Alice is willing to call him teacher and occasionally discusses difficult academic problems with him.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
Song Shu had been setting off fireworks and firecrackers in his heart for several days. He originally felt a little guilty and remorseful when he added burdens to Alice, but when he thought that this was for Alice's future great cause, Song Shu at least didn't feel so guilty anymore.
The days spent with Alice always passed quickly. Song Shu originally thought that he would not be able to see Alice on weekends, but then he suddenly remembered one of the villain's duties - as the princes' teacher, the villain actually needs to go to the palace every week to report to the king on the princes' learning progress. But the villain is lazy and doesn't want to go. Usually, he writes a document about the princes' performance and sends it to the palace.
But Song Shu is not lazy!
For Alice, Song Shu could even go to the palace every day.
→Hehehe, I can now look into my wife’s room openly!
555: [……]
【Private house steamed goose heart. 】
There is not much preparation required to enter the palace, because the villain is really powerful. In the game setting, even if the villain calls the king an old man, the king can treat it as a joke made by a naughty child and respond with a smile.
But even if Song Xiao Kid Shu had a hundred guts, he would not dare to scold the king like that.
After all, if you round it off, that's his father-in-law *v*.
…
The carriage was ready to go, and Song Shu excitedly got on it, but he didn't expect that there was another person in the carriage - Bo Wen.
Song Shu: “…”
Hello motherf*ck
Bo Wen's height of nearly 1.9 meters made the carriage space cramped instantly. Song Shu was like a cat being held by the scruff of fate, sitting on the side feeling frustrated and wronged.
The carriage moved slowly.
Song Shu was mumbling in his mind: Why don't these people listen to me? They left before I even told them to drive. How come they knew that Ding Shuji was in the car? Am I the Duke or is Bo Wen the Duke?
I don't know what Bo Wen is busy with these days. Anyway, Song Shu and Bo Wen have very little time to spend together. Now that they are suddenly in the same space, Song Shu really doesn't know what to say.
Bo Wen was making tea, fiddling with the tea set with his jade-like fingers, his movements were pleasing to the eye.
Soon, the fragrance of tea filled the entire carriage, and an exquisite and small gilded cup was pushed in front of Song Shu.
Bai Wen watched him pick up the teacup woodenly, feeling somewhat helpless: "Why are you so surprised to see me? Didn't you always ask me to accompany you when you entered the palace before?"
Song Shu replied somewhat dryly: "No, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
He bit his handkerchief and cried inwardly. How could he play with Alice when Bowen was around?
Song Shu was somewhat reluctant to let Bo Wen know about Alice's existence. After all, in the game plot, the villains didn't have any special feelings for Alice, and no one cared about her after she became cannon fodder. But now that Song Shu had come through, he had a lot of feelings for Alice.
On the one hand, Song Shu didn't want to change the game settings easily and cause Alice trouble. On the other hand, he intuitively felt that if Bo Wen knew about Alice's existence, perhaps some horrible incidents would happen.
So Song Shu tried very hard to keep her little secret, but she didn't know that her underwear was almost stripped off by Bo Wen.
Bo Wen turned his head and looked at Song Shu thoughtfully for a while.
Just this short moment was enough to make Song Shu nervous, because he felt that Bo Wen was a psychologically dark pervert, and even a dark person like him couldn't help but stay away from him.
Fortunately, Bo Wen didn't do anything else along the way, and Song Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because Bo Wen was there, Shui Lan, who usually served her, did not get in the car.
Speaking of Shui Lian, Song Shu felt that Shui Lian really found an unreliable person to set up the formation.
The reason was that he had caught Qingxiao sneaking out to set up the formation several times. If he hadn't pretended to be deaf and blind, Shui Lan and Qingxiao would probably be arrested for rebellion tomorrow.
Song Shu shook his head. No, Qing Xiao wasn’t good enough and Shui Lian’s vision wasn’t good enough either. So how could this plan succeed?
He still has to rely on him to be a deaf and blind kid.
However, Song Shu acted like a deaf and blind boy and didn't notice that Qing Xiao's eyes were looking at him with more and more complicated expressions. She even almost got into an argument with Shui Lan because of him.
Outside the carriage, Shui Lian recalled the quarrel, which actually had nothing to do with Song Shu. But if she had to talk about it, how could she explain the complicated connection between them and Song Shu?
Qingxiao's spirits have been getting worse these days. He only asked a question and Qingxiao got angry.
What are you angry about?
Shui Lan had never felt Qing Xiao so strange.
Qing Xiao's eyebrows and eyes, which were similar to those of Prince Ellis, always made him panic - did Song Shu do something to Qing Xiao? That was why Qing Xiao was in such a bad mood.
But Shui Lian has been with Song Shu these days. Song Shu is in a hurry to see Ellis every day and has less time to talk to him. How can he have time to take care of Qing Xiao?
Shui Lian couldn't help but feel bitter. He thought that he and Qing Xiao had to leave here. If they left here, they would be able to become normal and start their lives again.
At that time, they had no so-called father, and he would no longer feel uncontrollably panic and...jealous because of Qing Xiao's eyes and eyebrows that were similar to Ellis.
So leave.
As long as they get rid of the variable Song Shu, he and Qing Xiao can return to the way they were before.
Shui Lan counted the time left before leaving and let out a long breath.
Neither he nor Qingxiao belong here, so leaving is the best option.
…
No matter how Shui Lian and Qing Xiao's moods changed or how they schemed against each other, Song Shu only had the increasingly shorter thoughts in his eyes: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he will be able to see Alice again soon!
Although there was the presence of Bo Wen, who spoiled the mood, it did not prevent Song Shu's mood from visibly improving.
Song Shu has always been a person who never shows his joy on his face. Now the aura around him is almost blooming. How could Bo Wen not notice it?
Thinking of the so-called Alice, Bowen stroked his sleeves and asked, "Are you in such a good mood?"
Afraid that Bo Wen would find out, Song Shu restrained himself a little, "Yeah, I haven't been here for a long time."
Bowen smiled helplessly.
"Do you remember the traitor I mentioned last time? The guards said they have caught him, but they haven't recovered the talismans."
Nice! I didn't catch up with you until late at night!
Song Shu was secretly happy and coughed lightly: "Forget it if you don't have it, it's not an important thing."
Bo Wen nodded, but reached out to touch Song Shu's head.
Bo Wen hadn't done anything out of line for several days, and Song Shu had let down her guard towards him, so she was completely unprepared for this touch.
The large, rough palm fell on the soft hair and rubbed it like a kitten's head.
"You've grown up, and you have your own worries. I don't expect you to always be by my side, I just hope you can look back at me once in a while."
Bowen spoke slowly.
His voice was originally low, and now that it had slowed down, it was oddly gentle.
"I went out earlier to find a teacher for you, but I couldn't find a suitable one no matter how hard I tried. Then I thought, since I have brought you up, I should also take on the responsibility of teaching you."
The strength with which Bo Wen caressed him was just like that of a small animal. Song Shu couldn't help but wonder inwardly why it was just like he was making arrangements for his final wishes.
Song Shu didn't know what Bo Wen meant by the so-called "responsibility of teaching". If he knew, he would probably be the one to make arrangements for his affairs on the spot.
Bo Wen said this just to warn and inform Song Shu. Since he was going to be Song Shu's teacher, he naturally had to inform Song Shu.
Song Shu, who had no idea that his life or death had been decided, just nodded foolishly.
…
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. On top of the steps, a Baroque-style high-tower castle stood, majestically demonstrating the strength of the Kingdom of Arthur as the most powerful country in the Abraham continent.
Song Shu and Bai Wen got off the car one after another. The servant led the way and told them that the king was waiting in the reception room.
Song Shu had no idea why a duke was worth the king's wait. He just told his servants to submit an application for an audience with the king, and the servants replied that he could go to the palace to see the king at any time, which was a privilege given to him by the king.
Song Shu was shocked, and thought that the villain's identity was really cool.
After walking for five minutes, Song Shu finally understood why the villain didn't want to see the king.
——Damn it, such a long palace path and such a long staircase, are they trying to kill him?
The fate of a otaku is also a fate.
Even though the fountains and greenery around were beautiful, and Song Shu could occasionally hear the ethereal chirping of birds and the tinkling of spring water, Song Shu really didn't have time to appreciate them. He had walked so much that his legs were weak, but the servants and Bo Wen didn't react. If he complained of being tired, wouldn't that be lame?
So Song Shu had no choice but to follow them.
After walking for another five minutes, we finally arrived at the gate.
Bo Wen looked at him with a smile: "In the past, you always couldn't help but use the teleportation charm halfway through the journey, but today you actually walked the entire journey so obediently. You have really grown up."
Song Shu: “…”
You didn't tell me that you had such a convenient thing as a teleportation talisman, but you're telling me now, you bastard.
Song Shu laughed expressionlessly to show his contempt for Bo Wen, completely ignoring the mockery and malice in Bo Wen's eyes.
It took a long time to walk to the main entrance of the castle, but at least it only took a minute or two to get to the living room.
When Song Shu knelt on the soft carpet, he was so tired that he wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep forever.
He lowered his head dejectedly, caught a glimpse of the king's profile out of the corner of his eye, and was a little surprised.
The king and Song Shu had different ideas. In the game plot, the king was basically a marginal NPC, appearing once at the beginning and once at the end, with only voice acting and no portrait.
Song Shu thought he would see the same sticker-painted man as before, or a bald middle-aged man, after all, the king had eight children.
But the king sitting on the main seat now was very young, so young that it almost broke Song Shu's jaw.
The young man in fancy clothes seemed to be the same age as Alice. His face pretended to be mature but had a childish innocence. He had a shiny cross pendant on his left ear. His pure black hair and pale face made his face look even more weird.
He propped up his chin, as if looking at an insignificant existence, and said lazily: "What does Duke Orpheus want to see me about?"
Song Shu was confused. Why did the king give him such great authority and seem to dislike him?
Although the king looked too young, Song Shu thought it was reasonable when he thought about the miraculous anti-aging techniques in the game.
Song Shu couldn't figure out the king's mood for a moment, and replied a little slowly: "I'm here to report on the princes' learning progress."
"Then tell me."
King Ryan yawned, as if he was still sleepy, and did not look down.
Such a perfunctory and ignoring attitude is very telling, but Song Shu only came to see Alice, and his mind was full of Alice at this moment. The king's attitude towards him could not affect his mood to see Alice.
In order to meet Alice as soon as possible, Song Shu reported very briefly on the progress, and the king listened very perfunctorily.
This is equivalent to when employees are slacking off at work, the boss is also slacking off, which is a great joy for both parties.
Song Shu was happy to think that it was over, and finished his summary very quickly. But the bad thing was that he had a habit of looking into the other person's eyes after he finished speaking.
To others, this seemed like a signal of expecting a reply, but Song Shu just wanted to confirm whether the other party had any doubts.
At this moment, he habitually looked at the boy above him, and Ryan just happened to look down at him with a lack of interest.
When eyes meet, a chemical reaction occurs.
In an instant, Li An ran down from the main seat like a child who liked candy, his whole body sparkling, and grabbed Song Shu's hand, "Are you Song Shu?"
Song Shu couldn't help but step back because of Li An's sudden approach to his face. He was still a little confused and said, "Yes."
Li An used too much force, and Song Shu's hand turned red. Normally, he should let go after realizing it, after all, it was very impolite, but Li An seemed to be more excited. His eyes were also shining, tracing Song Shu's eyebrows, and his weird and exaggerated tone was sticky, which made Song Shu feel uncomfortable.
Li An: "Song Shu, you look a lot like your father."
The lights in the reception room were bright. Song Shu walked along the palace corridor and climbed the stairs. She was still breathing heavily. Her cheeks and lips, red from the sun, looked like a dehydrated rose and looked very pitiful.
But Song Shu's expression was so cold that that bit of pity became unimportant, and it made people want to tear him to pieces even more.
——I want to make him more pitiful.
There was some excitement in Ryan's throat, a low moan similar to that of a wild animal. Song Shu was still confused and didn't know what was going on.
When Ryan's hand was about to touch his face, he reacted quickly and dodged it. At the same time, Ryan's hand was caught by Bowen.
As if he was not holding the king's hand, Bowen smiled gently, "Your Majesty, do you remember what we agreed on back then?"
Ryan pouted unhappily, "You're the only one who remembers, you old fool."
Bo Wen withdrew his hand and stood back beside Song Shu as if he had heard nothing.
Li An reluctantly kept a distance from Song Shu, but still tried to talk to Song Shu with a bright look, "Your father and I were good friends when we were young. I even held you in my arms when you were born."
Song Shu felt a little uncomfortable when someone who looked younger than him said this.
Besides, is it really stupid for a ruler of a country to have such a character? Song Shu suspected that they would be beaten through by the neighboring country in a minute.
However, his uncomfortable mood did not last long.
Because Ryan kept staring at him, and Bo Wen didn't want Ryan to stare at him, Song Shu was sent out.
Bo Wen walked into the reception room with a smile and continued to reason with Ryan.
Song Shu clenched his fist.
Yay for liberation, go see Alice!
When he played the game and went through the plot, Song Shu already knew the map where Alice was.
Thinking of Alice, Song Shu felt more comfortable with the long palace corridor and the stairs.
He went down the stairs humming a song, completely unaware that a war was breaking out in the living room because of him.
…
"It's fine if you don't allow him to see me, but you have a problem with me holding his hand?"
Ryan crossed his legs and sneered, "Former Duke of Orpheus, don't be so arrogant."
Bo Wen turned the emerald ring on his thumb and said, "When you handed the child to me, you should have known that this would be the outcome."
Li An muttered, his delicate face full of youthfulness: "I said I wanted to adopt Song Shu, but did you give me a chance?"
This time it was Bowen's turn to sneer: "Are you sure your androgynous queen won't kill him directly."
Ryan was silent.
Bo Wen added: "If it weren't for you and that evil queen, Song Shu's parents wouldn't have died at all."
The past was like a kaleidoscope of events, and the entire living room seemed to be folded and compressed into a small box. The atmosphere was extremely cramped and depressing.
It took a long time for Ryan to raise his eyes. His lips looked pale, and his originally jet-black hair had some white mixed in.
"Bowen, are you sure you didn't indulge or neglect our behavior at that time?"
…
Shui Lian is not here, and Ding Shuji is not here either. He is about to go to see Alice.
It's never been a better start.
Song Shu walked along the palace road and finally had time to appreciate the scenery along the way.
There’s no other reason, it’s just that this time it’s finally not textured buildings and characters.
After all, this is the house where the king lives. There is no reason for the system to be perfunctory.
Song Shu would have been in a great mood if she hadn't fallen.
Logically speaking, mood affects magnetic field. He is in a good mood now, so there is no way he will fall and get into trouble.
But Song Shu fell anyway, and fell hard.
He was walking on a gravel path and fell without any warning. Even if he had consciously used his hands to support himself later, his hands and knees could not have been spared.
His last thought before falling: Fortunately, he didn’t fall on his butt, otherwise he would have died here if Shui Lan or Bo Wen wanted to apply medicine to him.
Song Shu was a little dazed when she fell, and she was also a little dazed when tears fell.
The palms of his hands, which were scratched by gravel, were covered with blood. The platelets were working hard, and Song Shu's tear glands were also working.
Strangely, he didn't feel like crying either.
There was some sand and gravel on the wounds of both hands. Song Shu couldn't wipe away his tears. Seeing that the tears were rolling more and more and his vision was blurry, he tried to wipe them with the back of his hand.
The back of my hands is still dirty, but now is not the time to be disgusted.
Song Shu raised her hand hard, and through her tearful eyes, tried to find a clean piece of skin to wipe her tears.
He was really stunned by what happened. How could he fall down while walking and started crying for no apparent reason?
Just as his hand was about to touch his eyes, someone lifted his chin.
The "girl" in a gorgeous Lolita skirt and with a slender figure and long flaxen hair looked at him carefully.
It is magical to look at people through tearful eyes. The moment the tears break, the person's portrait becomes clear, but the next second the eyes are filled with tears and the person becomes blurry again.
Just like the montage technique in the movie, the "girl" just gently holds his chin, and there is also an ambiguity between clarity and blur.
"Song Shu?"
The girl's voice was cool, like the wind that had been locked in a room for a long time.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Song Shu blinked and wiped away some tears. He didn't feel any pain at all, but these inexplicable tears were really annoying.
The cool fingers on her chin moved away, and Song Shu raised her hand to try to wipe her tears again. She heard a very faint murmur: "She looks like her father, but when she cries, she looks like her mother."
Song Shu didn't have time to think about what this sentence meant, and then the fragrance of the "girl" hit him, and the hot and wet tongue licked Song Shu's tears heavily.
????
Hello, hello! What's going on?
Song Shu retreated hurriedly, unable to control her tears, covering her red eyes and nose with the back of her hands, but bumped into another person's arms.
The familiar scent of Alice.
Song Shu's shoulders were supported gentlemanly.
Ellis stood straight, looking straight ahead, "Mother, father is looking for you."
The "girl" holding up her skirt stood up gracefully. She had a delicate oval face and playful flaxen curls, but her eyes were inorganically cold, as if she were not a human creature.
Queen Lilith touched her lips, her bright red nails looking seductive, and glanced at Song Shu, as if her previous action was just a spur of the moment action.
He called out, "Song Shu."
Lilith calling Song Shu's name seemed to be just a notification, or a mark.
He didn't need any response and walked away past Ellis.
