Chapter 22

"General Arthur, Mr. Kevin?!" Kevin, who had been sleeping unsteadily in the carriage, suddenly woke up after hearing the louder voice. Weird Gris face.

"Mr. Gris..." Before he could say the new words, Kevin suddenly found himself being held in Arthur's arms, his face turned red, and he hurriedly struggled from Arthur's arms to stand on the ground with a very serious expression. Looking uncomfortably at Gris, who was watching from the sidelines, "Mr. Gris."

Arthur, who had learned about Kevin's thin skin a long time ago, didn't say anything about Kevin's actions. He just stood behind Kevin and nodded to Gris with a faint expression.

"Uh... hello, Mr. Kevin." After all, he was from an aristocratic family, and when Kevin just stood on the ground, Gris's expression returned to his previous intimacy.

"Hello, Mr. Gris." Kevin smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking after saying hello.

Gris glanced at Kevin and then at Arthur standing behind Kevin, smiling as before, "I haven't seen you for a long time since I saw you at the manor last time, I just passed by here today, so I want to I wanted to see you, but I didn't expect the servants in the manor to say that you and General Arthur had gone out, and I was about to leave, but I didn't expect you to just come back."

"Ah, yes," Kevin nodded, "I went out for something today, you..." Out of politeness, Kevin should invite Gris to come in for a sit-down, but then he realized that this is not his house, so he turned his head and asked looked at Arthur.

Arthur met Kevin's eyes, smiled, raised his head and said to Gris, "Since Mr. Gris is here, please come in and have a cup of tea and some snacks."

"Okay, excuse me then." Gris nodded with a smile and agreed.

"You didn't get too drunk that day, did you?" Inviting Gris into the manor, the three of them sat down in the reception room and waited for the attendant to bring tea and snacks. After greeting for a while, Gris asked Kevin with concern.

"Huh? No, no," Kevin's thoughts drifted to that day because of Gris's words, and a suspicious blush appeared on his face again, and he shook his head.

"That's good," Gris said, as if he didn't see Kevin's suddenly shy expression and Arthur's gentle eyes looking at Kevin, "There were so many people at that time, I didn't want to be rash. When I went to look for you, I was worried for a long time, because I was afraid that you would be too drunk and uncomfortable."

"No, I went back to my room," Kevin explained, "The attendants took good care of me."

"Oh, of course," Gris smiled and looked at Arthur when he heard this, "You know, the servants here at General Arthur are well-known in Rodan City for their meticulousness and rigor in their work. It would be great if the servants in my family could change their free-spirited personality someday."

"Mr. Gris is over the top, and they only did what they should do." Arthur replied politely.

Hearing what Arthur said, Gris smiled and didn't continue the topic.

After talking about the hot weather, sweet tea and delicious snacks for a while, Gris asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Kevin is looking for a house to live in. Have you found it? If not I can keep an eye out for you."

As soon as Gris finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent. Arthur glanced at Gris, who had a natural expression, while Kevin was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "You probably heard wrong, I never said anything about it."

"Oh, that's right." Gris showed a somewhat surprised expression on his face, and then smiled again, "I think so too, why would you want to move out when you live well with General Arthur, you alone It is always inconvenient for a single female to live outside alone. It is better to stay in the manor of General Arthur. I first heard people say that you think it is not good to live in General Arthur, so I thought about it If you want to move out, I thought at the beginning that if you really have such an idea, I can help you pay attention, after all, it is not so easy to find a vacant house."

"That person must have misunderstood it." Kevin smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to take a sip from the teacup, and stopped talking.

"I must have misheard." Looking at the atmosphere that had become somewhat cold, Gris was still smiling like that, and put a piece of dessert into his mouth naturally.

With such an episode, the following conversation became a little less interesting. After sitting for a while, Gris got up and said goodbye. Kevin and Arthur politely sent him to the door and walked back together.

"Aren't you happy?" Arthur asked, looking at Kevin, who had not looked well since Gris left.

"No." Kevin frowned and said noncommittally.

"Are you familiar with Gris?" Arthur asked after walking quietly with Kevin for a while.

"No," Kevin thought of Gris's brow wrinkled with a formulaic and self-confidently friendly smile, "Plus, I only saw him three times this time, how can I know him well?" said Kai Wen murmured softly, "It's tiring talking to him."

Hearing Kevin's complaint, Arthur laughed out loud, stretched out his hand to grab Kevin, and interlocked his fingers, "Isn't that how nobles talk."

"Tch," Kevin wanted to break away from Arthur's hand, but he didn't, and then he let him go, curling his lips and said, "Aren't you tired of talking so pointedly?"

"Hmm..." Arthur still smiled, "I think it's easier to talk to you."

"Really?" Kevin raised his head in shock as soon as he heard it, like a proud little rooster, "Say what you want, and you have to be so subtle, wasting other people's time is tantamount to making money and killing you, understand?"

"Haha," Kevin's words made Arthur amused, and after following Kevin to his room, Arthur took him and sat down on the chair, without letting go of his hand, "so succinctly, Mr. Kevin, can you Can you tell me about the things you planned to move out?"

"Uh..." Kevin avoided Arthur's eyes, and hesitated, "I said it's nothing like that."

"Hey, you need a long nose to lie." Arthur reached out and grabbed Kevin's nose, pretending to be serious and said, "That's for coaxing children..." Kevin wrinkled his nose and muttered, he didn't think so at all. It's not surprising that Arthur knows the story he told Nat, it's like turning around, he already understands why Abu said to help him keep an eye on the house, but there is no news yet.

"So, were you angry with me when you moved out?" Arthur asked seriously, stroking Kevin's slender fingers.

"No, I really thought it was not good to live here at the time." Kevin felt that it would be better to clarify some things, at least there would be no troubles caused by such historical events in the future.

"Why?" Arthur sensed that Kevin was about to talk to himself, and moved the chair closer to Kevin.

"You see, at that time we had a quarrel about the first encounter. You were not happy and I was not happy. At that time, I felt that I was not happy with you who were neither relatives nor relatives. How dare I continue to live with you Of course, the most correct way is to find a house and move out. My mother taught me to be a man since I was a child, and don’t wait for others to annoy you before reacting.” Kevin said honestly, “And, at that time You also often treat me coldly, I think you must think that I am particularly ungrateful, that's why my temper is so changeable..."

Seeing Kevin earnestly counting his fingers one by one, Arthur involuntarily reached out and hugged Kevin into his arms. Hearing Kevin's exclamation, Arthur pressed against Kevin's ear He whispered, "Why don't you think that my temper is so changeable because of jealousy?"

"Jealous?" Kevin was stunned for a moment, forgetting about Arthur's sudden attack, and turned his head to look at him in a daze, "What are you jealous of?"

"I'm jealous a lot," Arthur put Kevin in a comfortable position and counted items like Kevin did just now, "For example, you and Nat are too close, for example You and Abu are chatting and laughing, for example, you are too polite to me, but you are so close to others, there are so many things, too many..."

Kevin looked at Arthur's serious look, dumbfounded, as if he had never known him before.

"What's the matter?" Arthur noticed Kevin's expression after he finished speaking, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"My God, I didn't expect you to be jealous." Kevin sighed after a while.

"What is a vinegar jar?" Arthur asked immediately.

"Vinegar, vinegar is just like you, how can anyone make you jealous?" Kevin was depressed. Is this still the man who was shining brightly at the sacrificial altar?

"Oh, then I'll be jealous," Arthur said with a big smile on his face, buried his face on Kevin's shoulder, "so don't get so close to others, I will be very jealous."

Seeing Arthur like this, Kevin couldn't guess that Arthur was teasing himself just now, so he wanted to push him away, "Okay, I'm not Nat, why do you keep holding me in your arms, really Shame."

"What's so embarrassing about it," Arthur hugged Kevin and didn't let go, "It's just the two of us in the room, don't you want to get closer to me?"

"No," Kevin shook his head without thinking, "it's too hot."

"Hey, you are so unfeeling." Arthur showed a hurt expression.

"I'm really afraid of the heat." Kevin found that even though he knew that Arthur's expression was fake, he still had no resistance to it, softly explained.

Arthur let go of his hand when he heard the words, "Okay."

But before Kevin got up and stood up, he was picked up by Arthur again, and when he turned around, they both lay on the bed.

"What are you doing?" Kevin was shocked by a series of actions.

"I just saw you dozing off in the carriage, let me take a rest with you." Arthur said naturally.

"No, go back to your own room and rest." It was the first time that Kevin lay on the same bed with Arthur who was not in the form of a white tiger, and Kevin was a little shy again, and refused.

"Why? Your bed can accommodate two people." Arthur asked with a puzzled look.

"It's so hot that the two of you lie down together on such a hot day." Kevin found an excuse to prevaricate.

"It won't be hot." Arthur said, taking a blanket as thin as a cicada's wing and covering Kevin and himself.

Kevin, who originally wanted to say why he was wearing a blanket when it was so hot, widened his eyes when the thin blanket touched his skin, his face full of disbelief, "This is it?"

Feeling the coolness from the blanket, Arthur hugged Kevin into his arms, "This is a thin blanket made of silk gauze, it won't be hot in summer."

"Gauze?" Kevin stroked the thin, bright carpet with a look of surprise.

"Yeah, gauze," Arthur felt that Kevin's appearance was very cute, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss him on the forehead. "It's made of gauze spun by mermaids."

"Wow, mermaid?" Kevin's eyes widened.

"Yes, Mermaid," Arthur nodded, "Have you ever seen a Mermaid?"

"No," Kevin shook his head honestly, and then his eyes lit up again, "Then can I see the mermaid in the future?"

"Of course, if you want, we can meet when I have time." Arthur nodded without hesitation. They all became excited, "That would be so cool."

Seeing Kevin's unconcealed excitement, Arthur felt a little helpless that it was really easy for him to be jealous in the current situation.

Because he found out that there are mermaids in this world, Kevin no longer cared about the issue of sleeping in the same bed with Arthur. He asked Arthur a lot about mermaids until he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. It's time to give up.

"Go to sleep," Arthur covered the blanket a bit, and whispered to Kevin, who was squinting, "I'll wake you up for dinner later."

"Well," Kevin yawned slightly, and rubbed his head into Arthur's arms, "you can also sleep for a while."

"Okay." Listening to Kevin's tired voice, Arthur had a gentle expression on his face.

"By the way, don't blame Abu, it's definitely not him who leaked the fact that I'm looking for a house." Just as he was about to fall asleep, Kevin suddenly thought of something, and forced himself to remind him.

"I know." Hearing Kevin mention this, Arthur narrowed his eyes. The people in the manor, whether they were guards or servants, it was time for Ogden and Krell to sort them out.

"Also, I don't like Gris, so don't talk to him." Kevin was already a little half-dream and half-awake at this time, speaking his true inner thoughts completely out of control.

"I know, stay away from him in the future." Arthur froze for a moment, then smiled and hugged Kevin tighter, and replied in a low voice.

"Well... that's good..." Kevin was satisfied with Arthur's answer, and fell asleep in peace.

Looking at Kevin with a peaceful sleeping face, Arthur's heart was soft, mixed with some sweetness and happiness. If he had to say he was jealous, he was not the only one.
