Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Mr. William dragged his old body along the corridor. Logically, he was in poor health and should lie in bed to rest, but he couldn't rest because he had things he had to do.

Mr. William walked for too long and too fast, and his body could not bear it anymore. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times. After he recovered, he continued to move forward.

He was going to find someone, someone he had ignored for many years but now had to pay attention to.

It is afternoon now. In the past, under the sunshine, the castle covered with flowers would emit a faint fragrance. This is often the most comfortable time, and Bai Yao usually chooses to take a nap.

Although there was no sunshine today and the rain was very loud, Bai Yao felt drowsy after lunch. Leo accompanied her back to the room and let down the gauze on the curtains to cover the rain. He was not sleepy, but just lay there staring at Bai Yao's sleeping face.

He watched it from the age of six to nineteen, but he didn't feel bored at all.

This is really strange. When they were young, he called her chubby face and said she was ugly, as if he could cover up his love for her by putting on a vicious coat.

Thinking about it more carefully, it seemed that since the first time he saw her, he had always been acting strangely to attract her attention.

This elementary school kid's way of attracting girls is really childish.

However, she actually liked him who was so childish.

Leo stretched out his finger and gently touched Bai Yao's cheek. He laughed softly and couldn't help but mutter proudly, "Are you blind? You actually like someone like me."

Even though he usually acts superior to everyone, and is so arrogant that he thinks everyone except me is a worm, he also has self-knowledge. He knows that many people are saying bad things about him behind his back, and he also knows that many people feel sorry for Mr. William, because such a good person gave birth to a child like him.

If only Leo was like Mr. William.

But this is not good at all.

It was the appearance of Bai Yao that told him a fact: he didn't need to be like anyone else. Even if he was a piece of garbage on the ground, someone would pick him up, repair him, and take good care of him.

So Leo became unscrupulous on the path of being "bad".

She is so pretty.

Black hair like silk is beautiful, skin as white as snow is beautiful, and lips as red as roses are also beautiful.

Every minute and every second with Bai Yao, Leo would often think that this was his lover, his fiancée, his life partner, and the joy in his heart would secretly emerge. Only when she was asleep would he dare to stare at her with such strong emotions.

Of course, she usually bossed him around, beating him when she wanted to and sleeping with him when she wanted to. If she could see that he liked her so much, wouldn't she be very proud?

But she fell asleep.

So he could be a little unrestrained. He lowered his head and gave Bai Yao a light kiss on the corner of her lips. Leo laughed softly. This was a kind of lightness unique to adolescence. He wished he could stick with the person he loved all the time.

The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and closer, and Leo knew that someone finally couldn't sit still and came to find him.

He covered Bai Yao with a thin quilt, got out of bed quietly, opened the door, and saw his elderly father.

Mr. William now needs to use a cane to move around. He was a handsome and easy-going young man, but in just over ten years, he has aged into this state. There is no doubt that in the eyes of outsiders, it must be because of Leo, the unfilial son.

Mr. William's gaze passed over the boy and fell on the room.

Leo took a step forward, closed the door, and said, "What's up?"

Mr. William coughed and said, "My health is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the day you and Yaoyao get married. Leo, no matter what, you are the heir of this family. While we both have time, I will explain some things to you in the future."

He was already at the end of his rope, and what he said was actually almost like his last words. He was worried about leaving this world like this, and he wanted to teach Leo more about the family business or the principles of how to behave in society.

Perhaps it was the blood connection that eased the tension between father and son during this moment of sadness. Leo softened his attitude a little, "What do you want to say?"

Mr. William said, "Come with me. All the documents of the real estate and the institutions should be handed over to you."

From what he said, he wanted to hand over all the family businesses to Leo, and of course those confidential information had to be kept in a safe place.

Leo followed Mr. William slowly, and seeing his staggering back, he had no intention of helping him.

William said earnestly: "I don't have any other great expectations for you, I just hope you can concentrate and do some serious work. If you are always so ignorant, even if Yaoyao has a deep affection for you, she will slowly leave you."

Leo raised his eyelids slightly, "Yaoyao will not leave me."

Mr. William obviously had a different opinion. He laughed and asked, "How can you be sure that she won't leave you?"

"I like her and she likes me. If she was really tired of me, she wouldn't have stayed with me for so many years."

Mr. William said: "Are you sure she likes you so much?"

Leo didn't hesitate, "I'm sure."

Mr. William withdrew his gaze and did not bring up the subject any more. They arrived at his study. The late rainy season caused the castle to become damp from time to time. In order to counteract the faint musty smell, incense was often lit in the study.

Mr. William walked to the desk and slowly took out a pile of documents from the drawer. "I didn't want you to get involved in the family business before because I was afraid that you would be unstable and make mistakes, but I can't stand it for much longer. No matter whether you have learned to mature or not, I have to learn to let go. Leo, sign your name on these documents. From now on, I will teach you how to be a good head of the family."

Leo didn't hesitate, he picked up the document, took a look at it, and signed his name neatly.

After signing, Leo stroked the paper with his fingertips. He raised his hand and looked at the fine powder on his fingers. "What is this?"

The powder floats in the air, invisible to the naked eye and intangible to the hand, and silently penetrates into the tip of the nose with breathing.

Leo held onto the table and pressed his dizzy head with one hand.

Mr. William sat on the chair, watching all this indifferently. He said: "Leo, don't blame me for taking action too early. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being like me."
