The sky is dark and the lights in the castle are always on.
The yellowish light from the bedroom shone on her fingers, and her fingertips were wet, as if glowing with an alluring honey color.
Wen Qing stared at her fingers blankly. After a long while, she came to her senses and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
What is he doing?!
Wen Qing didn't know what he was thinking just now.
Licking jam is fine, but why licking fingers?!
As he thought about it, he felt a little anxious in his heart and wiped his hands on the handkerchief quickly and vigorously.
Don't stop until your fingertips turn red.
Wen Qing blushed and drank two large glasses of cold water. She calmed down a little and was very glad that the housekeeper was not there.
He lifted his eyelids and looked at the door on the right. When he raised his eyes, he saw himself in the mirror.
Sitting on the chair with his head tilted, he looked indifferent in the mirror, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his cheeks not red at all.
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to touch his face.
It’s not hot anymore…
Wen Qing pursed her lips and looked at the mirror.
With a "click", the door was pushed open.
The housekeeper is back.
He walked straight to the table, stood beside Wen Qing, lowered his head, looked at the handkerchief with a few water stains, and a blue light flashed in his eyes.
"Ma'am, do you want to leave the castle now?"
Wen Qing tilted his head and looked at the sky outside the window. It was a little brighter than in the morning, but still dark overall.
He couldn't help but ask, "Will it rain?"
The housekeeper said calmly: "It won't rain."
Wen Qing said "oh" and continued to ask the butler: "Is there anything dangerous outside the castle?"
The butler picked up the teacup, poured water for him, and said calmly: "There are a lot of people outside the castle."
Wen Qing: "I'm asking if there's any danger—"
The words came out suddenly, and the butler must have known what he was asking.
Just answering his question.
There are people outside the castle, and they are dangerous.
Wen Qing was stunned. If the person in danger was a human...
He thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Are those people bad?"
The butler didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, the light in his eyes flickering a little faster.
Wen Qing inexplicably understood that the butler was laughing at him.
After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Isn't he a bad guy?"
The butler still didn't speak.
Wen Qing looked at his expressionless face and tried to ask in a different way: "What are those people like?"
The butler calmly uttered two words: "Human-like."
Wen Qing: “…”
"What else?"
The butler stopped talking again.
Wen Qing pursed her lips and stopped worrying about what the people outside were like.
He asked, "If we want to go out, do we need to prepare anything?"
The butler half closed his eyes, as if he was thinking.
After a while, he slowly said, "I."
Wen Qing: “???”
Butler: "Need to prepare me."
Wen Qing: “???”
He was stunned. This robot could speak cheesy love words?
Seeing his shock, the butler explained, "I can take good care of my lady."
Wen Qing had no doubt about this.
He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly, and looked the butler up and down.
The butler was about 1.9 meters tall, about the same height as Sikong. He was wearing a black tuxedo, which was very tight, with only a pair of hands showing.
Although his hands have the same bone structure as humans, they are silver in color, and it can be seen at a glance that they are not human.
Wen Qing thought, robots... they always need energy to operate.
From the outside, he couldn't tell what the butler needed.
After thinking for a while, Wen Qing asked, "Do you want to go get some gas and charge your battery?"
The butler lowered his eyes and looked at him silently. The blue in his eyes seemed to solidify and no longer flicker.
"unnecessary."
Wen Qing said dryly, "What do you need to charge?"
The butler said nothing.
Can't you say this?
Wen Qing was wondering in his heart, and stopped asking the housekeeper and asked 001: [Is it okay for me to leave the castle? ]
Although the mission this time did not explicitly state that he had to stay in the castle, Wen Qing was still a little worried. What if he went out and 001 asked him to bear the consequences himself?
001 repeated the main mission and advanced mission: [Main mission: Survive.]
[Advanced task: Take the three young masters out of the castle. ]
Wen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no problem.
He looked at the time and it was already twelve o'clock noon.
If you go out now, you might come back very late.
Wen Qing hesitated for a moment and said to the housekeeper, "Let's go out tomorrow morning."
The butler responded, "Yes."
*****
The next morning, Wen Qing woke up before the housekeeper and Asha came in.
He stood in front of the wardrobe and dressed quickly.
When he was almost dressed, Wen Qing walked to the mirror and looked at himself.
The clothes are a little crooked.
Wen Qing lowered his head and looked carefully. A button on the hem of his shirt was crooked.
He unbuttoned and rebuttoned his shirt.
When my fingertips touched the soft flesh on my waist, I couldn't help but press down.
Wen Qingwei frowned slightly, buttoned up his clothes quickly, and raised his hand to look at his fingers.
Something seems wrong with him?
The moment I put on my shoes, the butler walked in.
He took a look at Wen Qing's clothes, took out a black cloak from the closet and put it on Wen Qing.
Wen Qing looked at the fur collar on the edge of the cloak and was stunned for a moment: "It's not cold today."
"It's cold outside." The butler lowered his eyes and carefully tied the belt of his cloak for him.
Wen Qing wanted to take a look at the mirror, but it was blocked by the housekeeper's body.
He glanced into the housekeeper's azure eyes and said, "Let's go."
Passing by the rose bush, I saw Lily squatting on the ground, apparently still looking for a brooch.
Wen Qing paused and was about to speak when Lily saw him and immediately bent down and said, "Madam, the brooch has not been found yet."
Wen nodded lightly and said to her, "No need to look for it."
Lily's face changed, and she quickly said, "Madam, I will find it as soon as possible."
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Wen Qing added: "It has been found. You don't have to look for it anymore. Go and do something else."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Yes."
Seeing Wen Qing and the housekeeper walking straight forward, Lily hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward and whispered, "Madam, please don't get too close to Rose."
Wen Qing said casually: "The housekeeper and I are going out for a while."
Lily stopped in her tracks and looked at Wen Qing in surprise. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw the housekeeper following closely beside her, she closed her mouth again and lowered her head and said, "Yes."
The stable was on the south side. Wen Qing followed the butler and discovered that the scenery on the south side of the castle was different.
In addition to the endless roses, there is a separate garden with tables and chairs, and the maids are wiping the tables and chairs. The stable is in a separate house, very quiet, without the neighing of horses.
Wen Qing walked to the door and realized why it was so quiet.
Sikong was standing inside, holding some green grass in his hand, feeding a black horse.
He glanced casually at the door and chuckled, "Where are you going?"
Wen Qing paused, pinched her palm, and said to him, "Get ready to go out for a walk."
Sikong's expression remained unchanged, and he obviously knew about this.
He waved the grass in his hand, and the black horse in the compartment opened its mouth cautiously and took a bite of the grass.
Sikong did not say anything about not being allowed to go out, but asked: "Can you play horse riding?"
Wen Qing was worried that he would use the excuse that he couldn't ride a horse to stop him, so he pinched his palm and nodded, "Yes."
The butler glanced at him and said nothing.
Sikong nodded, led the black horse out of the compartment, and walked towards Wen Qing.
Wen Qing resisted the urge to avoid Sikong and stood where he was, watching Sikong walk up to him and hand him the reins.
Wen Qing raised his hand to take it, but Sikong did not give him the reins directly, but held his hand.
The back of my hands felt chilly, as if the coldness was penetrating into my bones.
Wen Qing didn't dare to dodge his hand. She bent her fingers and hooked the reins in Sikong's hand.
Sikong lowered his eyes, rubbed the delicate skin on the back of his hand with his fingertips, and said softly: "Be careful when you go out."
The housekeeper took a step forward and said calmly to Sikong, "Don't bother me, young master."
"I will take good care of my lady."
Wen Qing pursed her lips and followed the topic to ask Si Kong: "Do you want to go out together?"
"No," Sikong curved his lips, turned sideways, came in front of Wen Qing, and gently kissed his forehead, "I'll wait for you at home."
Wen Qing's body stiffened, and the place where Sikong had kissed her felt cold.
Sikong raised his hand and touched the horse's back, and said to Wen Qing, "Go early and come back early."
"Mother."
Wen Qing held the reins tightly and tried to walk out, but Si Kong blocked his way and asked calmly, "Aren't you going to ride the horse?"
Wen Qing's eyelids jumped, and he immediately said, "Yes."
He stood beside the horse, looked at the stirrup, raised his foot and stepped on it, then struggled to get on the horse's back.
It’s not that difficult to get on a horse, but the difficult part is how to ride it.
Wen Qing clenched the reins, not knowing what to do.
Sikong looked at his stiff movements and spoke slowly: "Mother's horsemanship is not good, or--"
Before he could finish his words, the butler walked forward, jumped onto the horse, and sat behind Wen Qing.
Seeing this, Sikong's smile faded a bit, and he looked at the housekeeper coldly: "Madam, is it okay for you to touch such a thing?"
The butler said lightly: "Excuse me, ma'am."
Wen Qing said dryly: "It doesn't matter."
The housekeeper glanced at Sikong again and said slowly, "I need to take care of the madam personally."
"Or is the young master willing to go out together?"
Sikong's face darkened.
The butler withdrew his gaze, and without waiting for Sikong's response, he took the reins from Wen Qing's hand and pulled gently.
The black horse neighed and ran away from the stable.
Wen Qing didn't dare to look back at Sikong, and stared straight ahead.
It was his first time riding a horse. He thought it was fun at first, but after being bumped around for a while, he no longer felt it was fun.
No matter how I sit I feel uncomfortable.
Wen Qing couldn't help but keep adjusting his sitting position.
Suddenly, the butler's voice rang in my ears: "Relax."
Wen Qing responded, thinking that he was already very relaxed.
The next second, a cold hand covered his thigh and slowly moved down: "Relax your legs and let them hang naturally."
"Knees too."
The coolness penetrated my pants and covered my skin.
Wen Qing's right leg felt a little cold and itchy, so she quickly followed the housekeeper's instructions and let it hang down naturally.
The butler did not let go.
Wen Qing couldn't help but move.
The housekeeper added: "Relax your legs."
Wen Qing responded vaguely, and said slowly: "It's still a bit uncomfortable."
He wanted to ask the butler to take his hands away, but before he could utter the first word, the butler said, "Relax your shoulders."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler leaned forward slightly, pressed against his back, and a slightly cool breath penetrated into his body through his collar.
Wen Qing shrank his neck, put a big hand on his chin, and slowly lifted it up: "Hold your head and chest out."
"lady."
The butler pressed his thumb against his cheek, rubbing it gently as he raised his head.
Wen Qing's face and legs were also a little itchy.
After adjusting my posture, it is indeed not as uncomfortable as before.
He immediately said to the butler: "You can loosen your hands now."
"Yes." The butler responded, raised his hand on Wen Qing's leg, and took the reins.
He raised both hands and held Wen Qing in his arms.
There was not much space on the saddle, so Wen Qing could only lean on the butler.
As the black horse ran, his cheek would occasionally rub against the butler's chin.
The butler's skin feels exactly like a real person.
Wen Qing's cheeks turned slightly red, and she quickly shifted her attention to look at the roses around her.
They had been riding for quite some time, and there were still large areas of roses all around them, but there were very few red roses, and most of them were roses of other colors.
Wen Qing looked back at the castle again.
The castle has become a small black dot in the field of vision.
But they have not yet left the territory of the castle.
Wen Qing's eyes darkened. It was such a long journey. Even if Xiao Jiyu and the others agreed to leave with him, they might change their mind halfway.
After a long time, Wen Qing finally arrived at a place where there were no roses.
There are no fences or walls or anything like that, it's just a forest.
A group of armored soldiers holding weapons walked in an orderly manner along the edge of the forest.
After seeing Wen Qing and the housekeeper, they stopped, bowed together, and then continued their patrol.
After entering the forest, the temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees, which was different from inside the castle.
If it is spring inside the castle, then this deep forest is as cold as autumn.
Wen Qing shrank his neck and put on the hood of his cloak.
Suddenly, he felt a warmth from behind, pressing against his back, making his entire back warm.
Wen Qing's face changed slightly, and he opened his eyes wide: "Butler, are you broken?!"
The butler was silent for a moment: "No."
"Madam, aren't you feeling cold?"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Can your body temperature change?"
"Okay." The butler responded.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Wen Qing's small, fair chin, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you feel hot enough?"
"I could use some more heat."
