gentleman's manor

The students were dispersed after entering the Sheep Girl Ranch, and only me, John and Edward walked together.

"It's like an upper-class masquerade here," I whispered.

The ranch is full of men and women in gorgeous costumes, and the entrance fee is three shillings, so not everyone can come in.But different from a formal ball, the people here are all unrestrained, laughing loudly, maybe because of wearing masks, people show their truest side without worrying about being discovered.

"There are many gentlemen and nobles here." Edward pulled his mask and said, "It's really a good place to indulge your desires, and no one will miss such a grand ceremony."

"Why are there so many people around there?" I pointed to a round building not far away.

"That's the Burlesque Theater," said Edward. "Want to see it?"

I have never been to the theater to see a play, so I am a little eager to try: "I don't know whose play it is?"

"There are no such elegant dramas here. If you want to see Shakespeare's plays, you have to go to a regular grand theater." Edward took us to buy tickets and go to the box on the second floor.

In the dim candlelight of the chandeliers, the curtain was enveloped in darkness.There was silence on the stage, the rows of wall lamps were extinguished, and the musicians hid in the darkness.Only the noisy sound came from the box on the second floor. The man was smoking a pipe and puffing, and the woman was shaking a fan and setting up a lady's binoculars for watching a show. They hid in the box and scanned the audience on the lower floor, like gods above.

The play tonight is called The Moonlight of Pylox, and it's really a comedy.

The actor's funny performance and language quickly made the audience laugh, and soon a beautiful blonde girl appeared on the stage. She looked only in her teens, her face was immature, but her eyes were charming. She played the role of the mistress of the butcher shop owner. heroine.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, the whole theater cheered, and people shouted her name loudly.

Her figure is bumpy, her ass shows a round outline under the transparent costume, her breasts are very plump, it seems that she is not wearing underwear, so the nipples are clearly visible.John blushed all of a sudden, and stammered, "Why... is she so naked?"

However, the next moment was even more exciting. The butcher's wife tore off the clothes on the heroine's chest because she was angry that her husband was messing around with his mistress.The plump, white and tender breasts of the protagonist are completely exposed, and they keep shaking up and down.

The theater suddenly boiled, and some people even threw their hats on the stage.

"Take it off again! Take it off again!" they yelled.

As if to comply with the audience's request, the butcher's wife rode on the heroine, tore her clothes, and cursed her for seducing her husband.Soon the heroine was stripped naked. She hugged her fair and charming body and pretended to cry for a while, then twirled and left the stage.

I stared dumbfounded at all this: "Oh my god, they let a prostitute perform on stage, and the audience applauded enthusiastically. Are these people crazy? Isn't the sheriff going to take care of it? This is indecent, they will be arrested and jailed.”

John blushed and said excitedly: "This is too exciting, is there another one?"

Edward said to me: "This is the 'Sheep Lady Ranch', the garden party held by the Duke, how could there be a sheriff to manage it? Don't you like it? I will accompany you out."

When John heard that he was leaving, he looked at the stage reluctantly and said, "Don't disappoint Adam, this is... this is theater art, you can't look at it with colored eyes."

"Come on, buddy, this is a nasty show, you can still enjoy it, come out with us." I said.

"Forget it." Edward said, "Let John enjoy himself, he hasn't had a good time relaxing all this time."

John looked at me pleadingly, and I looked at him for a while, then patted his shoulder helplessly: "You have to go back to school early, let's go first."

Edward and I left the noisy theater and returned to the crowded ranch.

He followed me slowly, like walking in a quiet courtyard, completely ignoring the crowd around him.

"If I offend your privacy, you don't need to answer me. You don't look very energetic recently. Excuse me for being abrupt. Is it a family problem?" He asked me in a low voice.

I didn't expect him to pay so much attention to me, even a little emotional change was noticed by him, a warm current surged through my heart, and I said to him: "I have encountered some troubles, but it's nothing."

"If you regard me as a close friend, please don't hide embarrassing things in your heart. I am always waiting for you to confide in me." He said.

I took off the mask and faced him, feeling that the surrounding voices disappeared, and there was only this tall young man in front of me, his narrow eyes were staring at me, there was an inexplicable friendship in it, my heart suddenly beat violently , and his face became hot.

"Edward, it was a great honor to meet you. Not even my own brother has ever been so sincere to me. I must confess to you that I was hit home this time. My family is full of cruel and greedy people. , I don’t care about family affection at all. But I am too weak, I can’t even protect my dear little sister, I feel that I am useless.” I lowered my head sadly, this is from my heart, even if I am reborn once, I still feel powerless.

"No matter when, I will be by your side." He said in a low voice.

I was about to say something when a very drunk man bumped into me.

I staggered and fell into Edward's arms.

The drunk looked at me wobbly, and suddenly showed me a lazy and obscene smile, grabbed my arm and said: "What a beautiful boy, which restaurant are you from, take me there, I will take care of you love you."

As he spoke, he brought his unshaven face closer.

Before I could struggle, the man was knocked down heavily in the blink of an eye.

Edward grabbed the drunk man by the collar and punched him on the face again. The man grunted and rolled to the ground, moaning while clutching his bleeding nose.Edward is very strong, and he usually likes outdoor sports. It is not easy to be beaten by his fist. I seriously doubt that the bridge of the opponent's nose will be interrupted.

Because I didn't want to get into trouble, I hurriedly put on my mask and dragged Edward into the crowd.As if someone was chasing us behind us, we ran away quickly.

The night wind was blowing on my cheeks, and even the unpleasant smell mixed with inferior face powder and sweat did not affect my happy mood at this time. We laughed loudly while running.

We ran to a sparsely populated corner before we stopped panting, looked at each other, and laughed again.

Suddenly, he pushed me to a wall, and my hands were pressed against the wall by him. I looked at him with shortness of breath, and before I could react, he bowed his head and kissed me.

We are separated by a mask, so he doesn't know that my body is tense, and my face turns red instantly, and I can't move at all. I can only let him roll on my lips, and then stick his tongue in to tease me.An indescribable feeling stimulated my whole body, and I even felt my feet go limp.

After the kiss was over, he looked down at me with anticipation in his ice blue eyes.

I was very confused for a moment, so I just pushed him away indiscriminately, and ran towards the gate of the ranch. Before he caught up, I got into a carriage by myself, and then went back to school alone.

What happened that night was enough to disturb my calm heart. Under the dim candlelight, I knelt in front of the bed and confessed, unable to forgive the fact that I was moved by a man.As a devout believer, such an idea is blasphemous and dangerous, and it is unseemly and self-cultivating. If it is known, it will be reviled and despised by the world. I can't bear this reality, and I can only beg for mercy over and over again. Lord forgive me.

In the morning, the clear singing of birds outside the window woke me up.

Last night, I knelt down by the bed and fell asleep.

I washed my face in the basin, and my pale face was reflected in the mirror.I perfectly inherited my father's tea-brown hair and light green pupils. Because the hair was wet, it stuck to my cheeks like soft and shiny satin.I touched the place where I had a scar in my previous life, but now it is smooth and shiny, and there is nothing there.

I used to resent that scar for being hated and ridiculed by everyone, not even hired for a serious job, and my wife wouldn't look me in the face because of my ugly looks, and now I miss it.Maybe I look like a devil like I did in my previous life, so that I can suppress the devil in my heart instead of having evil thoughts like I do now.

During class during the day, Edward was sitting next to me. I was nervous and didn't listen to a word. I kept thinking about his gentle eyes and soft lips last night, as well as his hard body when he was pressing on me.Sometimes I looked up at him, and he gave me a meaningful smile back, which made me even more helpless, and I began to loathe my horrible dirty mind more and more.

I hid from him all morning, and during lunch break, he finally blocked me in a secluded corner.

Without saying a word, he tried to push me down and kiss me again.

I broke away from his embrace in a panic, and stammered, "No, Edward, no."

"Sorry." He leaned very close and murmured, "I offended you, but I don't regret it, I've always wanted to kiss you, since I was 12 years old."

I looked into his eyes, nervously stared at by his eyes, hurriedly lowered my eyes, stared at my feet and said: "I regret what happened last night, and I promise that I will never do such absurd behavior again in the future."

"I love you, Adam, I love you." Edward didn't care what I said, and suddenly said something that shocked me.

I looked at him in disbelief, and he was also staring at me with seriousness in his eyes.

"This... this is wrong, this... this is against the teaching of the Holy Lord." I recited the doctrine in a panic: "A man can only love a woman, and falling in love with a man is a sin. The Lord will never forgive heresy."

"I don't care about going to hell, I only care about my heart. For a long time, I have been in love with you, I tried to stop, but I can't control my heart, I think about you all the time, this sweet pain tortures me It's been too long, please give me relief, otherwise I will be in hell when I am alive." He pleaded with me in a pleading voice.

"No, no." The way he begged in a low voice made me even more flustered.

I am not a teenager in the true sense, and I will not disregard the future life path of the two of us just because I am obsessed with this child's pure and beautiful feelings.It would be crazy and reckless if I agreed to him. It would not only ruin the future of the two of us, but also make us regret it in the future.In the UK, although gay men are not hanged like the countries that believe in the Old Testament, it is not much better. Once someone is accused of sodomy, the consequences will be ruined.

"I can never promise you. I have long ago decided to serve the Lord with a pure body and mind in this life. Besides, the love between men is against ethics, against the law, and dirty. I hope you will never say similar things to me again. Otherwise I will never see you again." I impulsively said something so cruel to him that I regretted it the moment I finished.

I didn't dare look up into his eyes, I was afraid to see his hurt and sad expression.

Time flows too slowly, maybe 100 years have passed before I hear the other party's cold voice from above my head.

"As you wish, I will never say such things to you again."

After that, I only saw the back of Edward striding away.

The author has something to say: It is necessary to popularize knowledge.

Britain believes in Protestantism, and their priests can marry, while other Catholic priests do not marry for life.

In ancient times, Christianity punished homosexuality very severely. If someone accused him of sodomy, he could only face the result of being hanged.Wasn't Da Vinci accused of sodomy with a blacksmith?So he went to jail, but fortunately there was not enough evidence, so he was released.I firmly believe that Leonardo da Vinci was gay and that the "Mona Lisa Smile" is his self-portrait.

During the time of Queen Elizabeth, homosexuals were still hanged in Britain. After the restoration of Charles II, the British social atmosphere was somewhat liberalized, but homosexuality is still a great crime. If you are accused and there are witnesses, you will be punished with whipping and huge fines.But it is possible to report, but it is very difficult to have witnesses. Unless the enemy is the enemy, few people will accuse others of sodomy. What if they are falsely accused?So homosexuality still exists, but people with this tendency keep it secret and sneaky.

I wanted to write a story about a Puritan who betrayed his faith, just like a monk who was entangled in violating the rules and regulations.
