Silver Blade and Rose

Of course, Edwin's gift was not limited to this watch. In fact, he and Elvins went out for a trip. Although it didn't take long, they bought enough things to dress Zarles from head to toe.

Facing the several large paper bags and recognizably shaped shoe boxes that Elvins and Mun jointly brought down from the back seat of the taxi, Zales fell into a stupor.

"Be considerate, he may be a little childish and girlish, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to play dress-up games." When passing by him, Elvins whispered sympathetically.

Zars glanced at him helplessly, thinking that even in a dress-up game, a model like him would not look normal.

"I bought them according to my preferences. If you like it, try it. If you don't like it, leave it alone." Edwin paused for a while before adding, "If you don't like it, we will buy it together next time." .”

"You go out to buy these gifts for me?"

On the one hand, Zals felt that buying too much was easy to waste. On the other hand, he was a little moved and didn't know what to say.

It wasn't the first time that Edwin prepared clothes for him, there had been more than one time before, but this time it gave him a very different feeling.

He bought things according to his own aesthetics. He used to give them directly to Zars, but this time it was different. He also gave him another choice.

"I like it very much," Zals felt moved, and couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help laughing, "But next time, we don't need to be so extravagant and wasteful, we can go shopping together, and only buy what we need .”

He had no shortage of clothes or anything, but was looking forward to shopping with Edwin.

You must know that when he first arrived at No. 179, Muen vaccinated him in advance: Edwin doesn’t like to go out. When he has no tasks, he usually sleeps in the room. It is recommended not to go if it is not necessary. disturb.

But now Edwin can make a point of going out when he's not on duty, just to buy him a bunch of birthday presents he probably doesn't need.

He knew that Edwin was not short of money, and there would be no financial burden to buy these, but he still made his own suggestion while being moved: "I bought too many, I can wear them for a long time, next time, ask me in advance, how about it? "

Edwin naturally agreed.

Zals carried the big bags upstairs, tried on the clothes in the bathroom, and when he came out, Edwin was waiting outside, looking up and down before moving aside: "Try the boots, too."

Although he didn't understand why he was in such a hurry, Zars sat down obediently and changed his shoes.In the square shoe box are a pair of black leather short boots. When he bends down to tie the shoelaces, he moved his feet a little. It feels good, the length is easy to move, the size is just right, and the comfort is also very good. Generally speaking, it is the type he likes .

He tied his shoelaces and stood up, looking up to meet Edwin's gaze.

"Not bad." Edwin stretched out his hand to straighten his coat, looking satisfied.

This outfit was completely selected according to the type Zarles usually likes to wear. There is nothing fancy about it. The whole body is covered with basic styles, but there are some small details that will be eye-catching when you look closely.For example, the brooch with a pistol symbol on the chest of the loose bomber jacket, or the specially selected brown laces for the boots-the latter is very close to Zals's hair color, which looks more suitable than he imagined.

Zals straightened up uncomfortably, a bit like when he was trying on the dress before, but now Edwin obviously won't keep a polite distance anymore, seeing how he thinks it's not bad, the suspicious red at the base of the ear is also quite cute, So he smiled and reached out to ruffle his hair.

"There," he said, "is your luggage packed? If so, do me a favor."

Like a hard-working bee, Zales helped Edwin pack his suitcase after packing his own.

Because he claimed not to intervene in the case, and just accompanied him there to relax, Edwin didn't have much to bring. He simply packed a few clothes and it was over.Zales folded the clothes for him, put them all in the suitcase, and then questioned the remaining half of the suitcase: "If you only need to bring these few clothes, it seems that there is no need to use this big suitcase?"

Edwin sat beside him and said leisurely, "But I only have this box."

"Then..." Zales thought for a while, and finally said, "You put the clothes in my suitcase and take them with you?"

There is indeed some spare space in his suitcase, which is enough to put Edwin's clothes and some daily necessities, but sharing the suitcase... seems to easily make cleanliness people feel uncomfortable. He is not sure whether Edwin will would be willing to do so.

It turns out he was thinking a little too much, and when he was annoyed that Edwin might mind, the latter had readily agreed: "Fine."

So the next day, Zales put his suitcase in the trunk and drove Edwin to the train station.

They needed to take a four-hour train ride to the city where surveillance photographed the suspected murderer, and then rent a car there to start Zarles' first independent investigation trip.

Edwin wore casual clothes, and behaved very leisurely. When he arrived at the train station, he patted the speaker that didn't dare to make a sound, and warned it in a low voice: "Don't make noise casually these days, or you will be complained."

They would park their car in a temporarily rented space in a parking lot near the station, so they would not have to take a taxi or trouble Sanchez to pick them up when they returned.The speaker accepted his order in silence, not daring to express any opinion.

Zals parked the car, skillfully dragged the suitcase into the station, and took Edwin for the first train journey in his life.

Sanchez pre-booked the tickets for them through the channel of the Exorcist Association. They passed the gate with the passcode of the reservation form——Zars took out two QR codes by himself. The ticket inspector glanced at the two of them. I didn't know he was Edwin's assistant or something, but I scanned the code to let them pass.

Until Zals walked to the corner and was about to go downstairs to the platform, he accidentally looked back and saw him looking at this side. He probably thought that Edwin was a rich man who had never been on a train or was doing a show. Erles was looking at him before he looked back angrily.

"He's still looking at you," Zales said helplessly, "Should I ask you to bring a mobile phone and go through the gate by yourself?"

"Let him see, what's the matter?" Edwin said disapprovingly.

When he was watched by a person, he said it calmly, but when they arrived on the platform just in time for the bus rush, Edwin was baptized by the eyes of the whole car when they queued up to board the train. They looked at each other, and some looked at it secretly, until they found their position and barely stopped.Fortunately, Sanchez gave them a separate compartment, so that Edwin would not be looked at by other people with various eyes after sitting down.

Zals thoughtfully closed the compartment door, blocking the eyes of the third person outside who pretended to be passing by and peeked at Edwin.When he turned back again, Edwin sat on his seat with an unhappy face and said to him, "I won't take the train next time."

He suppressed a smile and said yes, then explained: "It should be because you are so pretty, next time we will drive by ourselves instead of taking the train."

Fortunately, they drove here by themselves, and fortunately, most of the people's eyes were more restrained, otherwise Edwin might really be angry.

This time it was because of the long distance and the convenience of getting there by train, so I chose to take the train there. However, looking at Edwin’s ride experience, it is estimated that there will really be no next time.

He also didn't like people staring at Edwin. He knew it was justifiable, but he didn't think it didn't matter at all.

Seems a little petty, but that's it.

The journey to South Lowell was not far or short, and they had to spend more than four hours on the train. Zals took out the water bottle from his backpack and put it on the table, then lifted the suitcase to the luggage rack and put it away. Then he asked Edwin if he wanted something to eat.

"I brought bread and small biscuits made by Hannah. If you are hungry on the road, you can eat whatever you want. The time to get off the bus is just at noon. We will find a shop to eat..." He planned the itinerary for the rest of the day, including dinner After thinking about everything to eat, he seriously instructed Edwin, "You can rest at the hotel, I specially asked Sanchez to book a double bed room—"

"How many rooms have you booked?" Edwin asked sharply.

Zales stuttered, and said after two seconds: "...Two."

Of course it's two, you can't tell Sanchez that they both sleep in the same bed these days.

"When it's time to push one away," Edwin said like a salaryman who was thrifty and had to repay the mortgage, and like Zals who was learning from yesterday, "There's no need to waste it."

Zars choked on him twice in a row, so he had no choice but to agree.

Even with the frequent accidents, overall the trip went smoothly.At [-]:[-] noon, he pulled the suitcase out of the train station, and stretched his other hand backwards, motioning for Edwin to follow.

Edwin did keep up with him, but before he could withdraw his outstretched hand, it was held by another slightly hypothermic hand.

"Come on," Edwin whispered in his ear.

Zals couldn't help his face getting hot, and felt that it was no big deal, so he maintained his hand-in-hand posture and walked forward side by side with him, then got into a taxi and told the driver their destination.

His first independent investigation is about to begin.

A new step in his life seems to be about to start.

It should get better and better.he thinks.
