Silver Blade and Rose

Zales was born in a very ordinary family. His father was an engineer and his mother used to be a nurse. When he was in primary school, he couldn't continue to work due to an accident, so he returned to the family and became a half-housewife. Well cared for.

The reason why I say half is because his mother, Ms. Lilian, is currently a part-time handicraft blogger. She often uploads her handicraft videos on video sites, such as weaving, pottery, and various flower arrangement videos, because she is good at handicrafts. I am also willing to spend my time on it, and there are still many fans on the website, and I can receive a good amount of rewards every month.

This matter didn't just start recently. When Zals was young, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and she had been making money with her handiwork. At that time, there were many people who liked her.She has never been financially dependent on Zals' father, Bill, and because of the existence of this money, Lilian has never regarded herself as a housewife, but an independent, confident and self-sufficient professional woman. state of life.

Zals liked her very much, and although she was sometimes childish, she was undoubtedly a dedicated and lovely mother.

For example, now, after discovering that she almost knocked him unconscious with a baseball bat, Lilian sat on the sofa by her hand, and while apologizing repeatedly, she still took out the biscuits she had hidden for him to eat, and secretly took them herself. He took a piece, and raised his finger while eating: "Shh, don't tell your dad, he has high blood sugar and can't eat this."

Zars couldn't laugh or cry: "Dad doesn't like to eat cookies, does he?"

Lilian curled her lips, and said boringly: "You were very cooperative with me when you were young, and even hid the cookies with me. Now it's not cute."

"I've already passed my lovely age." Zales said helplessly.

He put several boxes of snacks tied together with ropes on the table, and while unpacking them, he briefly explained their origins, including how he ate the snacks, how Edwin gave him a big box, and his had to be distributed everywhere—

"This pastry looks very expensive." Lilian lifted the top lid of the box and took a look, and said firmly.

"Uh..." Zals paused in his explanation. He originally wanted to say that it wasn't very expensive to reassure her. After thinking about it, he finally said honestly, "I don't know either. He told me not to care."

"Sounds like a very generous boss." Lilian nodded with satisfaction.

Edwin is indeed a very good boss, but it seems a little strange when these words come out of her mouth.

Zals had an ominous premonition for no reason, and sure enough, Lilian's next sentence was: "So, is your boss a man or a woman?"

"..."

"Of course it's a man." Zars said angrily.

He used so many "hes" when talking about Edwin earlier, had she eaten them all?

Lily pretended not to be heard, and began to imagine his office life while eating with the snack box. The content was unconstrained. Anyway, Zarles had worked in No. 179 for nearly three months, and had never experienced the kind of "romantic life" she imagined. ".There is no comfortable and tidy office environment, and there is no working hours like that of the police station. I even experienced an interview job that almost cost me my life. After all, it is not a normal working life at all, let alone romantic or not.

But of course, these words cannot be said to Lilian. Zalls does not intend to tell his parents about his current job content for the time being. After all, Mun has already suggested that he keep it a secret from his family. In his opinion, this is indeed not to worry them. good idea.Maybe one day in the future he will, but certainly not now.

Bill and Lilian were undoubtedly very good parents, and because of this, Zals didn't want them to continue to worry too much about him.Ever since she chose to apply for the police academy, Lilian was always worried that he would encounter much more danger than ordinary people, afraid that he would get hurt, just like he was still a teenager.Zales hoped that she would be happier and be able to do what he liked every day, so he lied to her that he had found a job as an assistant and bodyguard of a private business owner, so that she would not worry about him every day at home.

In fact, he quite likes his current job, but the nature of it is quite special, and he must keep a little mystery so that he can continue to do it safely...

Before he had time to finish thinking about the future, he was suddenly interrupted by a doorbell. Lilian got up to open the door, but Zals felt a little strange: it was far from the time when Bill got off work, and Lilian didn't usually get along well with the neighbors Party, who's going to ring the doorbell at this hour?

Sitting on the sofa, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to stand up and look for Lilian.

Then he saw Lilian leading a young man into the hall.

Zales: "?"

He subconsciously took a look at the young man first. He was wearing a simple khaki casual suit jacket with a white T-shirt. He looked about his age or slightly older. The tough type——

And it's subtly familiar.Zals thought puzzledly.

"Baby, I just want to introduce you to my fitness trainer." Lilian didn't know that he was full of doubts, and happily brought the man in front of him, "This is my son Zals, this is William, I made a special detour today Come and send me a new fat-reducing recipe..."

"William?" Zales repeated.

Standing facing each other, he found that the other person was a little taller than him, and the smile on his face became more and more familiar.Zals was sure that he had seen this person somewhere, but the other person was not exactly the shadow he remembered——

"Hello, I'm William, Mrs. Drake's personal trainer." The man extended his hand to him friendly, Zals shook it, and found that his hand was unexpectedly cold.

With this new discovery, doubts suddenly appeared in many places on the other party's body: when I reached out to shake hands with him, I originally planned to extend my right hand, but I changed my mind temporarily as if thinking of something, and stretched out my left hand; That's right, "William" is still wearing a not-so-thin coat, and his palms are cold. It doesn't look like he just took a cold shower, but he looks like someone Zals knows...

Zals remembered where he had seen this guy before.

He looked up into the other's eyes and asked back, "Are you really 'William'? Sir."

The other party was stunned for a moment, but his smile remained unchanged: "What do you mean?"

"Although I don't know why you came back from the dead and became a fitness instructor, you are by no means William, and fitness instructor is definitely not your job." Although his slight hesitation was not obvious, it did exist, Zall Si grabbed his cold left hand and became more convinced of his guess, "Am I right? Grant Mulder."

The man's left hand that was about to move froze, and he looked at him again with scrutiny.

"...you know me." He said to Zars.

Not only do I know you, but I have also read all your files "before you were alive".Zals thought silently.

Wiping out passwords and web history might be a bad habit, but if Grant had done it, his job wouldn't have gone so smoothly, so he had to thank Grant.However, the other party suddenly appeared at his home, and it seemed that it was not the first day that he had contact with his mother, so the matter became much more complicated——

They were standing in the middle of the living room holding hands, swords drawn, looking like they were about to fight any second.Lilian looked left and right, and finally chose to persuade Zars: "Baby, calm down first, what do you have to say..."

"Lilian, go to the room, don't come out until I call you." Zars interrupted her persuasion, and said mercilessly.

Lilian was stunned for a moment, she had never seen such an attitude from Zars, although she wanted to stay, but she still listened to his words and went into the room and closed the door.

Before closing the door, she shook her head at her own Grant, signaling him not to quarrel.

Grant gave her a reassuring smile, and waited for the door to close before saying to Zales, "Your mother is lovely."

"This can't be used as a reason for you to appear here." Zars said blankly, "You should be dead, no matter what the reason is, you shouldn't be here."

Grant shrugged and didn't explain why he did this. He said incoherently, "You've only been in the job for a long time, and you've learned Edwin's habits completely. This expression really resembles him."

Zars was stunned for a moment, and he said again: "Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to know you from the perspective of a bystander, after all, the 'door' is now open in your room, if it is not guarded by the right person It may cause irreversible accidents."

He has a serious expression, not like telling a lie.But Edwin never told him these things, and to be honest, Zales somewhat doubted the authenticity of them.

Seeing that he didn't seem to believe what he said, Grant reluctantly assured: "You can ask Edwin, it's absolutely true."

"Then I told him, not only did you not die, but you are still working as a fitness instructor in another district more than ten kilometers away?"

"..." Grant changed his words, "Then you better not ask, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me."

He said so, Zals no longer doubted.As for the reason why Edwin didn't tell him in advance, Zals is not allowed to call to ask questions under the current situation, so he can only wait for the answer when he returns to No. 179 at night.

As for what to do now...

Zals signaled Grant to sit down, and he returned to the position just now, assuming a posture of face-to-face interrogation.

"Now, let's talk about why you came back from the dead," he said.
