Roses for Rosalind

"...What did you say again?"

"kiss Me."

Rosie hit Romeo's head without hesitation.

Romeo looked at her with desire and dissatisfaction, with extreme accusation in his eyes.

"I told you not to make trouble!" Rosie stared back viciously: "At least be careful in public places! There are so many people here, what if they are discovered!"

"But all here wear masks," said Romeo, "and we shall not be found."

"But what if!" Rosie insisted, "Do you want our two families to be strangled in public!"

What she said is not completely unreasonable, just look at what happened to the Capulets and Montagues in the original book to understand.If you add a De Niro family who regards her as a quasi-family because of Alcor's ambiguous behavior just now... tsk tsk tsk, that picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it_(:3)/)_

Romeo was silent for a while, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Sissy." He lowered his eyelids, not daring to look into Rosie's eyes: "Do you... regret it?"

"...Huh?" Rosie looked at him inexplicably, "What?"

"...Do you regret it?" Romeo avoids her eyes from left to right: "You are with me, I am obviously so happy that I want to tell the world, but I have to hide and cover up, even pulling me openly. You can't even do it with your hands."

"I... I actually thought about being with you, the two of us fled far away from Verona, to a place where no one can find us. But... this matter," he said vaguely The two words were mixed together, as if he didn't want to mention it too much: "If you really do that, the damage you are about to suffer will undoubtedly be much greater than mine...I am not willing."

Since ancient times, many things have been unfair to women.Take elopement as an example, the damage caused to the man is minimal, and afterward, he can't get along, and there are many people who abandon their wives and come back to inherit the family business. For women, if the elopement fails and is caught by the family, the person's reputation will be completely ruined, and most of them will be forcibly sent to the monastery by the family.Even if the elopement is successful, not to mention the right to be abandoned to starve to death on the street, even if you are really lucky enough to finally get married with your sweetheart, once someone finds out, you will be secretly criticized and slandered, and your spine will be poked for a lifetime.

As cruel as it is, this is reality.For the sake of love, there are many ladies who give up their status and status, abandon their families and elope with their lovers, but very few of them get a good death.

And Romeo can think of this for her.

"So...do you regret it? If you blame me for this incident one day in the future, or even leave me, I, I too..." Romeo's fists were unconsciously grasped and released, and Rosie couldn't remember where Seen in this psychology book, this is a sign of a person who is already extremely nervous: "...I can't blame it."

"Maybe De Niro is right." His voice was full of hesitation and decadence for the first time: "Maybe he is..."

Romeo could not go on.He turned his face away vigorously, not wanting Rosie to see his face clearly at this time.

His daily performance has always been mature and stable beyond his age, making people always unconsciously forget that he is actually just a 17-year-old kid.Seeing his uneasy look at the moment, Rosie's heart suddenly softened, and she held his cold fingers with her backhand: "Don't say anything stupid."

Rosie played Romeo's face hard, forcing him to look into her eyes despite his avoidance.Her eyes looked straight into his heart: "With your words, I don't regret it."

Romeo still did not speak.

"Okay," Rosie put her arms around his waist for the first time.She gently leaned her side face against his chest: "Don't think so much. If you keep it secret first, I don't feel wronged. There will always be a way."

Romeo let her hug him for a while without moving.When Rosie couldn't help but began to hold him and shake her, she finally put one arm around her waist, and gently supported the back of her head with the other hand.

Rosie then obediently remained still.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and Rosie poked her head out of Romeo's arms: "I think I should go." Rosie said to Romeo, "Look, Juliet has come to find me."

Romeo glanced slightly sideways.He saw that the Miss Capulet that Sissy was talking about was crossing half of the dance floor, walking briskly towards the two of them.Perhaps it was because of staying with her lover all night, the corners of Juliet's mouth were raised high, and the crimson flush on her face could be clearly seen even through the half mask decorated with gorgeous feathers.

Benvolio stood at the other end of the dance floor, squinting at her back and smiling contentedly.

"Really don't think too much, okay?" Rosie looked up at him, rubbing her chin on the clothes on his chest: "Although it's good to think a little more and prepare a little bit more for everything, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. Maybe the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, huh?"

"……Um."

Rosie patted his hand around her waist to signal him to let go, but Romeo tightened it a little instead: "Hold for a while." He said sullenly.

Alas, there is really nothing to do with him.Rosie thought generously.Forget it, let's hug, sister, I am in a good mood today, and I don't care about you (*/w*).

She was racking her brains to think of what else to say to comfort this frustrated and injured young man, but suddenly something warm fell gently on the top of her head.

—That was Romeo's lips.

Romeo lowered his eyes and gently pressed a kiss on the top of Rosie's head.He just remained motionless, keeping his kiss on the hair of the person in his arms for a long time, like a devout Christian praying to God in some traditional and sincere way.If it weren't for his slender eyelashes still trembling slightly, it would almost make others suspect that this is a frozen statue.

Rosie's heart was unbelievably soft.She forgot that Juliet was still waiting, and that she had just rejected Romeo's words justly.Some kind of warm feelings overflowed from the bottom of her heart, and she was so happy that she almost couldn't help crying.

"Sissy." It seemed that a long century had passed, and it seemed that only a short second had passed. Juliet reminded in a low voice, "We should go..." She knew that she should not disturb the couple in front of her. Lover, but she really can't help it: "If I don't go to my parents and aunts and uncles, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable."

"En." Rosie reluctantly let go of Romeo's waist, and the other party didn't stop him, but just reached out and touched her cheek: "Come here."

Rosie walked forward while Juliet turned her head three times. Romeo stood there and watched them leave silently.After walking a few more steps, Rosie couldn't bear it anymore. "I'm sorry, Juliet." She broke away from Juliet's hand, turned and ran in the direction of Romeo: "Wait for me for a while, you wait for me for a while."

She threw herself into Romeo's arms under the surprised gaze, tiptoed and quickly kissed the corner of his mouth.Before Romeo could react, this clumsy and green kiss was over.Rosie took a few steps back, lowered her head shyly, and rubbed her left foot against her right foot nervously.

"Well...you have performed very well in the competition these few days." Her voice was weak, but he still heard everything clearly like a miracle: "...so as a reward, I agreed to your request."
