I have a good impression of Marvel

"I"

Colleen Wen's tone was filled with surprise, but also curiosity.

"Yes, he asked me to take good care of his daughter, a girl named Colleen Wing."

"That's you."

Having said this, Leon paused, looked at the girl's confused face, and continued to make up white lies: "But before I could find you, you disappeared."

"After my investigation, I found out the information about you"

Under Leon's evasive explanation, the whole story became:

In order to make a promise to his friend, he did not hesitate to sneak into the base camp of a cult organization, search for evidence, and join forces with the police to bring down the criminal gang, and finally rescued his friend's daughter.

Colleen Wing, who was new to the world, was deeply attracted by Lyon's touching story and believed most of it unconsciously.

In her opinion, she has nothing worth the trouble for the other party to get close to her.

Besides, now that she was homeless, the only person she could rely on was the man in front of her with brown hair and a very handsome smile.

Just when the girl was lost in thought, Leon broke the silence again and said softly: "Colleen, can I call you Colleen?"

Colleen Wen was stunned and nodded invisibly: "Yes."

"It's a bit late. How about you get your things and follow me home?"

Home

This familiar yet unfamiliar word made Colleen Wen couldn't help but look into Leon's blue eyes.

From those eyes, all she saw was deep sincerity and friendliness.

"Ah."

Seeing Colleen Wen nodding, Leon couldn't help but show a kind smile.

"Hey officer"

Leon called the female police officer who had brought Corinne over just now and asked her to accompany the girl to get her luggage, while he stood there, waiting for them.

Looking at Colleen Wen's retreating back, Leon took a long breath and murmured in a low voice:

"Finally got over it"

Lying should be a very easy thing for an agent who has performed many covert missions.

Sometimes, it’s to deal with enemies;

More often, it was to prevent Corvo from worrying.

Lies that are intended to benefit the other person are generally called "white lies."

However, when faced with an innocent girl like Colleen Wen, Leon's "white lies" felt a bit difficult to tell.

After all, fooling a middle-aged man with a hairline and an ignorant loli are two completely different concepts.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his head, Leon soon saw Colleen Wen returning to the square accompanied by the female police officer.

A medium-sized pink suitcase and a pure white samurai sword are all the possessions of "Kendo Girl" Colleen Wing.

"Uh, what is this?" Although he already knew that the girl had been learning swordsmanship and martial arts from her grandfather, Leon still pretended to be surprised, pointing at the katana and asked.

"Oh, this is a famous sword passed down from my grandfather's family, called "Luo Ying"

Looking at the girl's slightly proud face, Leon nodded without asking any more questions: "That's it."

"Then let's go"

Taking the suitcase from Colleen Wen, Leon led the girl very naturally and left the place where she had only stayed for three days.

Taking a yellow taxi through the busy streets, Leon and Colleen Wen soon stood in front of the apartment.

"It's here"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon picked up his suitcase, took the first step, and walked to the apartment.

Colleen Wen looked up at the two-story single-family apartment building. After a moment of hesitation, she followed behind and entered the apartment.

"squeaky"

Stepping on the wooden stairs, Leon and Colleen Wen arrived at the door of the apartment.

"Wait a mininute."

After saying that, under the girl's doubtful gaze, Leon knelt down, lifted up the carpet at the door, took out a brass key, and opened the apartment door.

After opening the door, Leon saw Colleen Wen's somewhat surprised expression. He couldn't help but smile and explained: "I don't like to go out with my keys."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Leon revealed the key storage location of his apartment to Colleen Wen when they met for the first time.

And Kelin Wen, who noticed this, felt warm in her heart.

It feels so good to be trusted by others

Turning on the light in the living room, Leon put the suitcase aside and walked straight to the kitchen.

Colleen Wen, who was a little reserved, was left standing in the living room, looking around with curious eyes.

Not long after, Leon came to the living room with two glasses of fresh orange juice.

"Why are you still standing? You're welcome. Just treat this place as your own home." As he spoke, Leon handed over the orange juice in his hand. "Besides beer, this is the only thing left in the house. I don't know if you like it or not."

Looking at the orange juice in her hand, the girl glanced at Leon, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, and nodded slightly: "I can do it."

Holding the orange juice, Colleen Wen took a sip and put it on the coffee table.

Silence comes suddenly

Although one-night stands, applauding for love and other things, Leon did it a lot.

However, facing this girl who was somewhat similar to his sister, Leon didn't know where to start.

At this time, the atmosphere that was gradually becoming awkward was instantly broken by the girl's soft voice:

"I want to know how you met my father."

It seems that the girl is still somewhat doubtful about Leon's origin.

Fortunately, Leon was prepared for such a problem.

"Oh, during a mission, I needed to consult with a professional who knew a lot about Asian history. And it just so happened that your father is a professor of Asian history at Columbia University."

A lie requires countless lies to fulfill it.

However, as long as it is worth it, Leon will say it whether it is a thousand times or tens of thousands of times

Maybe it was the orange juice, or maybe it was Leon's gentle attitude, but Colleen Wen's closed guard gradually opened up.

Compared with the restraint and silence when they first met, the girl relaxed a lot and started talking more.

"Well, do you live alone?"

"Uh" Leon was stunned, then nodded, "Yeah, I live alone, what's wrong?"

"Such a big house, don't you feel empty?"

In fact, she wanted to use the word "lonely" more

"Oh, since my parents passed away, I have become accustomed to living alone."

When Leon mentioned his parents, Colleen Wen also looked apologetic and said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, that was all a long time ago."

It turns out he is just like me

Unknowingly, Colleen Wen's eyes softened a lot when she looked at Leon.
