Be green tea in a British noble school

When Shanchu was a volunteer, he basically didn’t see Earl Gray for ten days and a half months, and occasionally reported to the office. Now that he has become Earl Gray’s personal assistant, he seldom reported to the office and more often went to Earl Gray. small estate.

The scenery of the manor is beautiful, and Shanchu is also willing to go, occasionally drinking afternoon tea with Earl Gray.

Earl Gray can talk to him, but the words are very weak, like tea, you have to work hard to get the taste.

Sometimes, Shan Chu would suspect that Earl Gray, like himself, contained an adult's soul in his shell.

After all, Earl Gray seemed too steady, and in many cases he was even more mature than Shanchu.

Earl Gray always said some insignificant words in a calm manner, and he was very well-balanced, and his demeanor was like that of a seasoned person in the mall that Shanchu knew.

The only thing is that he doesn't look like a young man in his prime.

Shan Chu was puzzled, and unconsciously shook the sterling silver teaspoon in his hand, and when it touched the edge of the teacup, it made a ding-dong sound.

The butler standing next to him coughed lightly.

Shan Chu raised his head suspiciously.

The butler just smiled and didn't speak.

Lord Gray said to the butler, "Go and send for new tea towels."

"Yes, Earl." The butler agreed and left the tea room.

When there were only two people left in the tea room, Earl Gray leaned forward and said to Shan Chu with a smile: "When drinking afternoon tea, many people will use a spoon to circle the teacup or tap the rim of the cup—this Common. But the orthodox way is to stir back and forth with a teaspoon, not in a circle. At the same time, I generally avoid hitting the rim of the cup to make a sound, and try not to hit the rim with the spoon.”

Shan Chu was startled, and then he understood why the old housekeeper coughed just now.

The old butler should have reminded Shanchu not to be rude in front of Earl Gray.

And Earl Gray knew that Shanchu didn't know that he was being rude, so he dismissed the butler before he reminded him.

Shanchu has been with Earl Gray for a long time, and he really feels that he is an approachable noble boy.He tilted his head and asked boldly, "Will Earl Gray care about these red tapes?"

Earl Gray smiled and replied, "I care about those who care about these red tapes."

Shan Chu held his chin and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I have to learn from Lord Earl."

As he said that, Shan Chu suddenly asked again: "If I knock the teacup loudly, will the Earl feel offended?"

Earl Gray said: "You can knock and see, maybe it sounds good."

Shan Chu giggled, but a trace of strangeness flashed in his heart: Obviously I was with a teenager, but as an adult, I had the illusion of being tolerated.

Earl Gray suddenly asked, "What was the tune you played in the manor that day?"

Shanchu replied: "The Butterfly Lovers is a Chinese song, telling about a tragedy of love."

"Let's hear it." Earl Gray seemed very interested.

But Shan Chu felt that Earl Gray might not be interested.

He might just be bored and have nothing to say.

The more I get along with Earl Gray, the more Shanchu agrees with Brighton's words: "What Earl Gray said is generally not his true words."

Shanchu had no choice but to tell the story of "The Butterfly Lovers". He considered the cultural differences and briefly stated: "In ancient China, there was a girl named 'Zhu' who wanted to study, so she pretended to be a boy and entered a male school. School. In school, she fell in love with a male classmate named 'Liang'..."

"So this 'Liang' is gay?" asked Earl Gray.

"..." Shanchu was dumbfounded.

Earl Gray said: "Is it because 'Liang' finds out that 'Zhu' is a woman in the end, so the story becomes a love tragedy?"

"No, it's not..." Shan Chu swallowed, thinking: This noble young man is so good at brainstorming!

Earl Gray looked at Shanchu's suppressed look, and suddenly smiled.

He stood up, walked to the window, picked up the violin on the piano stand, and began to play the cadenza of "Blessings of Love", which was melodious and very moving.

The glass windows penetrated into the afternoon sun, and the sparkling dust flew on Earl Gray's golden hair, which made him feel somewhat holy.

Shanchu's heart skipped a few beats for a moment, and he secretly sighed: I have lived two lifetimes, but I have never seen such a beautiful person.

It has to be said that the beautiful boys and girls in the West are extremely beautiful, like exquisite dolls, which make people love it and want to collect it.

Shan Chu sighed inexplicably, but the flowering period of Western beauties is much shorter than that of Asian beauties.That light blonde hair is likely to be flaxen or even brown after the age of 20.

Shan Chu's thoughts changed slightly, and he became curious: I don't know what color Earl Gray's hair was when he was my age?Are the eyeballs still clear blue, or have they become cloudy?Are there fine lines around the eyes?

When Shan Chu was dazzled, Earl Gray had already played a bar and put down the bow.

Shan Chu came back to his senses, and looked at Earl Gray with some embarrassment: "You practiced very skillfully! So...you must be very familiar with this piece and the story behind it, right?"

"Probably know some." Earl Gray replied with a smile.

Shan Chu felt like being teased: "Then you still ask me what this story is about?"

"Because I want to hear it from you," replied Lord Gray, "it will be interesting to hear from you."

Shan Chu lowered his head and thought: Is this guy teasing me?

Damn, I was molested.

Where should I put the face of my good president?

But this feeling of being out of control is long gone...

Shanchu's soul is already 30 years old, and he is the president of Shanshi.

In his previous life, he suffered from depression at the age of 16, was forced to drop out of school, and returned to China.When grandma learned about it, she scolded Ding Minsheng and Jiao Jiao, and said, "I don't feel worried about handing over my grandson to you!" So grandma kept Shanchu by her side, took him to see a doctor, and patiently accompanied him to recover.

After a year of recuperation and treatment, Shanchu came out again.

But after he came out, he lost the softest part of his character.

He always wanted to get revenge and become stronger. Finally, on his 30th birthday, holding his mother's portrait, he cried and got drunk. He drank too much and fell into the swimming pool of his villa and then——

Back to 16 again.

After being reborn, Shan Chu seems to have embarked on a completely different path.

But it seems that different routes lead to the same goal.

He can foresee that although it looks different now, ten years later he will still punch his own father, kick his stepmother, become the president of Shanshi, and reach the pinnacle of his life. Chatting, living a life of luxury and emptiness with a heart full of holes.

Shan Chu's face was full of vicissitudes of fatigue, which was especially incompatible with that childish face.

Earl Gray put down the violin in his hand and stared at him, his blue eyes were like jewels with flowing light.

Shan Chu came back to his senses, and stared at Earl Gray in turn: "What are you looking at me for?"

Lord Gray said: "Sometimes I don't think you are your age."

Shan Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled back: "I think you feel the same way."

Earl Gray nodded and said, "It's amazing."

It's amazing.

A more wonderful thing happened. Mrs. W and Zhefu's mother met at the banquet, and Zhefu's mother accidentally spilled wine on Mrs. W's dress.

This was not a big deal at first, but Mrs. W thought of Emily's matter, took advantage of it, and publicly accused Zhefu's mother of not knowing etiquette.

Zhefu's mother couldn't bear it, and retorted.

In the end, Mrs. W yelled at Zeff for bullying his classmates and framing Emily.It was irreversible for her to say such a thing in public. There were so many people, so many ears, and so many mouths at the banquet. All of a sudden, everyone knew what Zeff had done.

It would be fine if this kind of thing was covered tightly, but once the wind gets through, it will leak from all sides, and rumors and gossip can blow in every corner.

After Shanchu learned about it, he suspected that Mrs. W did it on purpose.

Originally, Zhefu apologized in private, and Toby took the blame, but Zhefu had nothing to do, and Mrs. W must be dissatisfied.

That's why Mrs. W took advantage of the topic and spoke out loudly at the banquet.

Zhefu's mother accidentally poured wine—maybe it was Mrs. W who deliberately went up to him and provoked Zhefu's mother. It was only after Zhefu's mother retorted that Mrs. W would pretend to be "in a moment of anger" and shake things out.

In this way, Mrs. W can stand on the moral high ground.

These aristocrats care about face, no matter who is right or wrong, they must first seize the moral high ground before making decisions.

After learning about this from Emily, Shanchu was very moved, and really envied Emily: Emily has a flamboyant and innocent personality, although she is superficial, it is also a kind of luck.

What a wonderful thing for Mrs. W to protect her and vent her anger at the risk of losing face like this.

It is rumored that Emily is Mrs. W's illegitimate daughter, so Mrs. W dotes on Emily very much. It seems that this rumor may be true.

Thinking of this, Shanchu sighed again: A child with a mother is indeed like a treasure.

Emily didn't know what was going on in Shanchu's mind, so she just smiled and said beside Shanchu: "Zhefu is in trouble now. Many school managers have heard about this and are very dissatisfied. The school board seems to have passed a consensus. Resolution to remove Tetsuo as student council president."

"Really?" Shanchu raised his eyebrows lightly, "Is that a great shame to Zhefu?"

"Of course." Emily sneered, "His family brags every day that he is the president of the student union of Athens College, how powerful he is. If he is revoked, not only will his face be shamed, but it may also affect his Oxbridge exam."

This is true, losing the chairman position is a small matter, but losing the Oxbridge offer is a big matter.

If the influence is further expanded, not to mention Oxbridge, Zhefu may not be able to pass the G5 exam.

- If so, that would be great.

Zeff's side is really in a state of desperation.

As the pride of the whole family, Tetsuo is going to lose the position of student council president, which is like a bolt from the blue.

Zeff's mother cried and said, "It's Emily who deliberately harmed you!"

"It's her? What do you mean?" Zeff didn't understand.

Zeff's mother said, "I've already found out that Emily rented the vacant room above your house. She must have connected to your wifi there and spread those rumors. She directed and acted on her own!"

Zhefu suddenly realized: "It's actually her!"

"She must hate you for doing this." Zhefu's mother said angrily, "but it's useless to say anything now. She and Mrs. W have already hated us..."

Zeff sat slumped on the sofa with a dazed expression: Was it because he offended Mrs. W and Emily?

Saying no regrets would be a lie.

But what Zeff regretted was that he involved Emily, which led to Mrs. W's revenge.

He never regretted bullying Shanchu.

Not only him, but his whole family didn't even have the slightest apology or remorse for Shan Chu.

Zhefu's father was relatively quiet, took a puff of his cigar, and then slowly said: "You don't care about this matter. I have negotiated with the school. You have saved everyone's dignity by quitting the student union because of illness."

Zhefu's face was pale, and he clenched his fists: he has always been the favorite of heaven, and it was the first time he kicked the nail board, so it hurt especially.But he knew that his father's decision could not be violated, so he could only bear the humiliation and nodded: "Yes, father."

"This is the result of my best efforts. You have to be more cautious in doing things in the future." Zhefu's father said lightly.

"Yes." Zeff lowered his head, his face very helpless, "but in this case, what about my honor project?"

Zeff's father said calmly, "I've already thought about it for you. You can do some charitable activities like Earl Grey's. It's nice and effortless."

"Okay." Zeff nodded, "Thank you father."

Zhefu voluntarily withdrew from the student union and no longer served as the president of the student union.

There are also rumors in the Athens Academy that Zhefu was "resigned" because he bullied his classmates.

"Zhefu looks so gentle, but he turned out to be such a person..."

"Impossible, I think he has always been willing to help others, did he really do such a thing?"

"If you didn't do it, how could you quit the student union?"

"Tsk, I really know people's faces but don't know their hearts..."

……

It is human nature to love to spread gossip, no matter what race you are.

Everyone loves to watch the aristocratic noble son fall from the altar.

Of course, Zhefu was still the young master, and everyone dared not say anything about him in person, but the probing eyes were enough to make Zhefu uncomfortable.Zhefu had long been accustomed to flowers and applause, but suddenly met with a wave of indifference and alienation, he was at a loss as to what to do when he was pampered.

Forget about the others, even Toby, the little follower, alienated Zeff, which made Zeff even more uncomfortable.

"Why? They are just mud from the ground, and they dare to treat me like this..." Zhefu's dark mood grew, and the expression on his face could hardly be stretched.

At this moment, Shanchu passed the boulevard carrying his schoolbag.

Shan Chu has beautiful eyes and quick steps, and looks as beautiful as an elf under the shadow of the trees.

Zeff's eyes were full of obsession.

Shan Chu looked back as if feeling something.

Shanchu's look back was very moving, Zhefu looked at it, his eyes softened a lot.

Zhefu just said: "Shanchu... hello."

Shanchu smiled softly: "Zhefu, hello."

Zhefu said to Shanchu sincerely: "Shanchu, what they said is not true, don't get me wrong..."

Shan Chu smiled slightly: "Of course, of course I will not believe unfounded rumors. I will always remember that you helped me."

Looking at Shanchu's gentle and firm eyes, Zhefu's heart melted.

- something is different.

At the beginning, the aloof Zhefu was only purely possessive of Shanchu.

And now?

When being pointed out by thousands of people, Shanchu still treated him so tenderly... Zhefu's empty heart was filled at once: it was different, he knew that from this moment on, his feelings for Shanchu had surpassed ordinary love up.

Shan Chu secretly smiled in his heart: Create an environment that is completely hostile to you, let me be your only salvation, let you only admire me and trust me... You should also taste the taste of PUA, you stupid idiot.

I don’t call you Shanchu if I don’t break your mind,
