Jealousy (4)
The conversation in his head ended, Song Shu's wrist slipped, and the ink from the feather pen dripped heavily, soaking the carpet again. He was thinking about how to meet Alice in advance, and there was a polite knock on the study.
Song Shu sighed. Bo Wen really didn't know that he was impotent, and he really wanted to stuff someone into his life. In a sense, he and Shui Lian really shared the same suffering - neither of them wanted to see the other, but they were forcibly tied together because of Bo Wen.
Song Shu collected the portrait of Alice, folded it, and stuffed it into the drawer with care. Then he said to the door, "Come in."
Shui Lan was wearing a school uniform and had her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking like a youthful and energetic high school student.
Song Shu sat up straight and thought a little inappropriately, wearing a student uniform, what weird play are they going to play today?
It's no wonder Song Shu thought so. The huge space is called a study, but it is actually the place where the Duke trains people.
The perverted things that happened last night were still vivid in Song Shu's mind. His heart began to scream like a groundhog, but his face remained cold.
He was waiting for Shui Lan to speak, but Shui Lan didn't say anything. Song Shu, a stay-at-home who never went out or socialized, didn't know what to say.
When Shui Lian entered the study room where the humiliation happened again, she was far less angry than she had imagined.
The Duke in front of him seemed to have expected his arrival, and his cold expression was mixed with a frown of helplessness.
Song Shu frowned very lightly, and it seemed to only last for a moment, but Shui Lan saw it.
Just like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples, Shui Lian became anxious for no reason. He had a feeling that things shouldn't be like this.
The stiffness he felt when he got close to the young man's knees in the morning, and the faint redness of his earlobes, might not have been his illusions.
There was now an inexplicable fragrance in the study room. He was close to it last night and knew that it was Song Shu's own scent.
This feeling was very strange, just like one day you suddenly discovered that the notorious dragon would blush and feel helpless in private. This was completely inconsistent with people's imagination of dragons, but when you saw the young man's face, it was strangely reasonable.
Song Shu's appearance was deceptive, Shui Lian realized this more than once. Once she began to realize it, her eyes could not help but follow that face, and she would also notice many of the young man's usual little movements.
He shouldn't do this.
To stop.
He seemed to be even more anxious, and Shui Lian felt that something was out of control. He forced himself to lower his head and said the first sentence he heard, "Dad, this is today's homework."
There was an extra stack of watery homework papers on the desk, but it also seemed like a stack of papers was missing.
Shui Lian has a good memory, and there are a lot fewer papers on the desk than last night.
What was done with the papers?
Is the Duke teasing people again?
Shui Lian's heart trembled. He knew he shouldn't think too much about it, but he saw the ink spots spreading on the carpet again.
The old and new black ink spots overlapped and dripped onto the rose stamens, appearing somewhat distorted on the light-colored carpet.
Shui Lian's heart also twisted, as if a dark hole had been punched through it. His gaze was somewhat paranoid, and also seemed to be questioning in disbelief, but the young man opposite him did not even raise his eyelids, his fingers idly flipping through his homework.
The Duke didn't seem to be good at taking care of long hair. His black hair, which he had combed in the morning, was already messy. However, because of his smooth hair and face, he still looked good even though it was messy.
Song Shu flipped through the book and finished it in a few seconds. As a top-level magician, he was amazed at Shui Lian's magical talent while flipping through the book.
There are many advanced spells in these assignments, which Song Shu might not be able to draw at his age.
The painting of a spell does not depend on the artist's skill, but on one's magic power. The higher the level of the spell, the more magic power is required. With high magic power, even if you draw a turtle as a football, the spell will still work successfully.
Song Shu felt a chill on his neck. If Shui Lian grew up, he would probably die at the hands of the other party.
But he is a villain and will die sooner or later. Cultivating Shui Lan can also provide Alice with additional support.
Song Shu wondered whether he should secretly cook something special for Shui Lan, "Is that all?"
Song Shu was just sitting there, and Shui Lian was already very confused. He kept his head down the whole time, and thus missed the flash of surprise in Song Shu's eyes when she looked at his homework.
He was confused and naturally misunderstood what Song Shu said.
When Song Shu followed Shui Lan to the area where the adopted sons lived, three big question marks arose in his mind.
——No, why is he here?
Shui Lian also realized it later and felt a little panicked - no, why did he bring the Duke here?
Song Shu still had a sullen look on his face, and Shui Lan was still leading the way in front. He couldn't tell them to go back, so he could only bite the bullet and continue walking.
Song Shu didn't know that Shui Lian was also walking on with gritted teeth.
Human emotions are strange. When two embarrassments collide, they will ferment into an even more embarrassing embarrassment.
No conversation along the way.
The adopted sons live in an area near the old house, neither too far nor too close, just the perfect distance where "people with ideas can't climb into bed, and people without ideas thank God."
The background of the game is a medieval high-magic Western fantasy. As a duke, Song Shu does not live in his fiefdom Orpheus, but in the main city of Hitler, which is enough to show the nobility of his status.
Song Shu was a noble man, so naturally the living conditions of his adopted sons were not much worse.
In the original setting, most of the children adopted by Song Shu were poor and good-looking children plundered from the slums of various regions. In addition, Song Shu was a duke, and nobles wanted to have a good reputation in this regard. Even if they plundered to do dirty things, they had to have a good excuse to the outside world. As Song Shu's housekeeper, Bo Wen paid special attention to Song Shu's reputation. Although Song Shu was unwilling to teach these adopted children, Bo Wen still hired teachers for these children out of consideration.
Under this illusion, before being called to the study, Shui Lian and Qing Xiao were very grateful to their father, not knowing that some nightmares begin in adulthood.
Song Shu adopted too many children, most of whom had never seen Song Shu. In addition, the housekeeper Bo Wen was extremely strict in disciplining these children. Only children who were fair-skinned and good-looking could be sent to Song Shu.
In the few months before these children reach adulthood, they will be sent to Song Shu to serve him closely, which can be regarded as a preparation for their training in adulthood.
Now that Bo Wen is out, Song Shu originally played the game based on the main plot, focusing only on Alice, and didn't care about the villains at all, so he didn't know the twists and turns involved, and he didn't know what his behavior of openly coming to the area where his adopted son lived meant.
Song Shu walked around with Shui Lan with a stern face. Many people saw them along the way, and heads popped up one after another to peek. Song Shu couldn't stand such stares, and occasionally frowned, and those heads shrank back, only to pop up again after a while. Song Shu frowned unconsciously again, and the heads shrank back again.
This process seemed to 555 like playing whack-a-mole, endless. When Song Shu finished and it was time to go back, the servants who followed him had a lot more work to do.
On the way back, Song Shu couldn't help but complain, "No, why did the setting include so many children?"
Moreover, the villain must be obsessed with looks, as he collects all beautiful boys. It is hard to describe his perverted XP.
555: [108 received.]
This number is on par with the heroes of Liangshan. If you are not overthrown, who will be overthrown?
The corners of Song Shu's mouth twitched.
………
"Duke, are you here to pick someone in person?"
"Whoever gets picked out of the Duke's tricks will be the one to suffer, right?"
"Why is he here to collect homework? Doesn't he always disdain to teach us commoners?"
"Don't say that... If it weren't for the Duke, we might not have lived to see this day."
"Don't we have to pay back the materials he provided? Even if they are not picked up, they still need to be repaid in the end. Have you ever seen any noble doing charity?"
“…”
The fierce quarrel was finally annihilated in a very light soliloquy: "The Duke is not what I imagined..."
No one present refuted this statement.
Even though they had all heard about the real reason why they were adopted, and some of the people around them were chosen and sent to the ancient house, they had never actually seen Song Shu, the cruel and cold-blooded Duke Orpheus in the legend.
It is said that the dark red walls of the old house were stained red by the lives lost at the hands of Duke Orpheus.
But...after meeting him today, Duke Orpheus seemed different from what they had imagined.
Her skin, which had not seen the sun for many years, was snow-white, and her long hair was as black as thick ink. The only distinctive color on her cold white face, which seemed to be made of snow, was her plump, bright red lips.
The Duke was of course very cold, but such pale skin always made people think of snow-like fragility. He didn't do anything, but just standing there made people want to blaspheme.
But this was the Duke, their nominal father, and such thoughts were extremely disrespectful.
With different thoughts in mind, the crowd gradually dispersed.
………
No matter what others thought, Song Shu felt much more comfortable after that day - because Shu Ji Bowen didn't come back for three or four days this time.
Although Song Shu had to train Shui Lan and face her intimate interactions from time to time, because Shui Lan always called him father, Song Shu just regarded it as a loving father and filial son, and kept hypnotizing himself in his mind: it was normal for kittens and puppies to cuddle with each other.
Of course, he couldn't do a messy training of Song Shu, so he simply let Shui Lan learn all kinds of complicated and strict aristocratic etiquette. I don't know if it worked, but anyway, his training mission was completed.
Because of the "hateful" look that Shui Lan gave him from time to time, Song Shu felt deeply that the mission was a success, and he also felt that the day of losing his head was getting closer and closer, which gave him a sense of crisis - no, he had to meet Alice quickly.
It was unknown what Bai Wen was doing on this trip. Without a housekeeper, the old house was not managed as strictly as before. Soon, some secret rumors spread in the living area where the adopted son lived.
Song Shu adopted so many children, some of them hated him, and naturally there were also those who wanted to use him to get ahead.
So these days, Song Shu would occasionally run into some handsome boys of the right age in the small garden. There would be a round of them almost every day, some cool, some cute, some lively, and some arrogant. Occasionally, there would be an idol drama scene where a boy accidentally fell into Song Shu's arms, which made Song Shu very annoyed.
However, more frustrating things are always to come.
Perhaps Bo Wen learned about what happened in the past few days through his spies in the old house, and he actually asked the servants to pick out several adopted sons at once and send them to Song Shu's study.
Shui Lian's expression changed immediately, and she looked at Song Shu's "reprimanding" look as if she was looking at a pervert.
Song Shu: “…”
Even the silver party didn't come about this way.
Song Shu finally lost his temper, as was his character, but still failed to resolve the issue. Because Bo Wen also seemed unwilling to admit defeat, he sent him sex tapes in his room for several days in a row, and some of the scenes were even restricted.
Song Shumu was already able to draw Alice without changing his expression while watching mosaic-level human animation. He understood that if those adopted sons were kittens and puppies to him, then he was also a kitten and puppy to Bowen.
Song Shu always felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being controlled, but there was nothing he could do. Since Bo Wen could monitor him from such a long distance, it meant that the other party had a lot of room to maneuver, and Song Shu was completely unable to resist.
On the other hand, Bo Wen received news from the servants saying that Song Shu would not touch those people.
Bo Wen originally went out to find a sex teacher for Song Shu, but he was not satisfied with any of them. He either disliked the other party for being unclean or worried that the other party would seduce Song Shu.
What Bo Wen needed was someone whom he could completely control as Song Shu's teacher, and it would be best if he could be present when teaching.
How pitiful! The child's parents died in battle soon after he was born. If he hadn't adopted him, he might have become a pedophile of some nobleman.
He raised the child and was familiar with everything about him, so much so that he wanted to completely control the child emotionally.
Let Song Shu pay back what his parents owe him.
A happy smile appeared on Bo Wen's lips, and he packed his things slowly.
What gift should he bring for Song Shu when he returns this time?
………
Song Shu didn't know that Ding Shuji was coming back. He only received one piece of news: he could meet Alice!
Song Shu is a duke, but he is also a great magician - his excellent magical talent makes him become the teacher of the princes at a young age.
It must be mentioned that the Kingdom of Arthur where Song Shu was located was the most prosperous and powerful country in the continent of Abraham. This king had six children, three princes and three princesses, and Alice was the youngest of them.
Now that the king is old and the fight for the throne is getting more intense, Song Shu, a leaderless force, is a hot commodity in the eyes of all the princes.
Song Shu: How could it be ownerless? Everything he has belongs to Alice!
Because the week Song Shu traveled through was a regular exam week, the princes didn't have to go to class, so Song Shu naturally couldn't see Alice. Now that the exam week is over, the royal family's autumn outing to bond with each other is about to begin.
Alice is also one of the "Princes", which means that Song Shu can meet Alice at the autumn outing the day after tomorrow weekend.
But when they were about to leave, Bo Wen, who had not yet returned from his business trip, specifically asked Song Shu to bring Shui Lan and Qing Xiao to serve them, and they were also accompanied by several servants and a shadow guard.
Even clothes were prepared for Song Shu.
Bai Wen is not here, but he is everywhere in the old house.
Song Shu lay down.
——
Alice, hey hey hey, Alice, he's coming.
