Guilty Records

Louis brought up the child by himself. Although the child is much taller than him now, the mentality of taking care of Louis from the perspective of an elder has been formed over the years, so he does not want to be with Louis. It is easy to show weakness in front of the eyes.

The young man hugged him lightly like this? Like the past countless days and nights to comfort him, produced by skin-to-skin contact? The heat warms each other, like this? At this time, Tang Zhibai will feel that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, Louis will always be by his side he?.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep? Or do you want to come and sleep with me again?" Tang Zhibai buried his head in Lu Yi's arms, and his words also had a strong nasal sound.

He? Gently pushed Louis away and found that Louis' arm was very strong.

Louis asked lightly: "No? Is it possible?"

Tang Zhibai chuckled, "When I was young, I was afraid of you being alone at night. Now that you've grown up too, why are you still so clingy?"

Louis said: "No? I want to be alone, I want to be with you."

This is natural. In the intimate relationship between the two, Louis's closeness, Tang Zhibai just thought it was a child clinging to him, and did not notice any ambiguity.

"Excuse." Tang Zhibai laughed and cursed, shook his head helplessly, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said in surprise, "You brought this up?"

Haven't had milk-free tea for too long? Tina will only make authentic black tea, adjusted according to his taste? If so, the taste will become weird again. Only Louis knows clearly about the huge manor their taste.

But I didn't know that Lu Yi's method of making tea was also secretly contacted by himself, just for Tang Zhibai to relieve his sleepiness when he got off work.

Hearing this, Louis' eyes sank, and he said indifferently: "I thought, who sent it up, Tina? Or Grint? You haven't been home for a long time? Have you been with me? Maybe you forgot the smell?"

Seeing his? No? Glad, Tang Zhibai quickly put down the tea, and comforted him, "How could I forget it? I tasted it right away. It's your technique. I just thought it was from Tina. Her? Work."

Louis looked at them calmly and said nothing.

Tang Zhibai took Louis's hand and said softly, "Okay, sleep with me today. Is it because I was too busy a while ago? I have no scruples about you. These days are the Easter holiday and your school performance is over. , I will always be with you, okay?"

Angry? Teenagers are not easy to coax, especially Lu Yi sometimes has a temper like a wolf. Once offended, it is very likely that he will hate you forever.I remember three years ago, when Tang Zhibai just took over part of the family affairs, he still didn’t understand anything, and he was so busy all day long. Once Tang Zhibai promised Louis that he would personally pick him up on the weekend.

But that night when the feudal slaves rioted, Tang Zhibai had no choice but to persuade him in person, and ordered the driver to take Louis back home. As a result, the new driver had just taken office and took advantage of his relationship. Trier College didn't pay attention, so I went for a walk? I couldn't find anyone around, so I ran to the wine alley and got drunk.

When Tang Zhibai came back that night, he was frightened sober when he heard that Louis hadn't come home. He hurriedly took someone to drive out to find someone, but Louis was already gone. In the academy, the night in London was bitingly cold, and several people were wandering on the dark road. The homeless man, there were no other pedestrians. He searched for the whole night, but he couldn't find the child.

After Chen Xi returned to the manor, he was tired and sleepy and blew the cold wind all night. In addition, he was frightened and Tang Zhibai fell ill with a high fever. Can only eat some liquid food.

For a whole week, no one found the missing Louis. Tang Zhibai even called the police. In the end, he returned to the manor by himself. When the boy heard about Tang Zhibai's condition, his face turned pale, and he ran to Tang Zhibai's bed to wait day and night. Did he eat or drink? Any persuasion fell on deaf ears.

Finally, when Tang Zhibai woke up, he saw that the boy's tired eyes were filled with terrifying red bloodshot eyes, and his face was indifferent and ugly. At first glance, he looked a little ferocious, but regret and sadness were buried in his eyes.

He? Said, "Bai, I'm sorry..."

Tang Zhibai just touched the boy's face distressedly, and with a hoarse voice, smiled weakly, "Just come back."

He? Didn't ask where Louis disappeared? Where did he go this week? He only knew that Louis left in anger.In the chaotic world of a strange society, he? Struggled hard for a chance of survival. After Lin Xiaoyin left him, Louis was the reason for his existence. He couldn?t lose Louis...

This matter was so serious that it completely alarmed the Duke of Norman. He? His face was so ugly that he punished everyone involved. After Louis was severely whipped twice, he was stopped by the weak Tang Zhibai. I had no choice but to give up, but the driver became a dead soul because of this incident.

Tang Zhibai has always understood that if there is no Louis by his side, all his efforts will be meaningless.Even if there is no threat in London in the future, he can enjoy the prosperity and no worries, but the hypocrisy in indifferent communication and the false smile in dealing with affairs make him afraid. He is a person who is afraid of loneliness. On such a day, he? No? Dare to think deeply...

……

Thinking of this, seeing that the young man beside him was still expressionless, but his eyes had already loosened a little, Tang Zhibai softened his voice again, "How about it?"

Tang Zhibai's eyes drooped, and he suddenly felt aggrieved and sad, "Don't Louis? Want me to accompany you? I'm so sad."

Louis' sharp eyes could see through what he was thinking at a glance, he said silently: "I'm not angry, I made an oath before, I will never be willful to you again."

The light of the fire flickered in the dark room, and the indifferent complexion was softened a lot under the warm red light. Even though the dark clouds were accumulating outside the window, like a sign before the storm, the contrast between the two showed the warmth of the people in the room.

Seeing the success of the scheme, Tang Zhibai lowered his eyes and snickered, got up and drew the curtains, completely isolating the cold world outside the window. He put on his nightgown first, climbed into bed and lay down, looked at Louis, and patted the goose down pillow on one side, " Come up to bed."

In Lu Yi's deep eyes, there was a pool of cold and stagnant water. He lightly blew out the bedside candlestick, and then lay quietly beside Tang Zhibai.

In the cool quilt, Tang Zhibai hugged Louis sideways, and found a comfortable position after a few struggles, with his head leaning on his broad shoulders, and his hands tightly wrapped around his arms.

Exhale comfortably, close your eyes and feel the warmth, and sigh: "Have you really grown up? When you were a child, you were a small one, and you can hold you in your arms as soon as you roll over. Now I can even hold you up." It's all useless."

Louis twirled his hair intentionally or unintentionally, and replied lightly, "I've grown up."

Tang Zhibai nestled in Lu Yi's arms, smiling softly, "Yeah, grow up soon, so you can take care of me?"

Louis lowered his eyes, staring seriously at the person in front of him in the darkness, "Bai, I can take care of you now."

"Nonsense." Tang Zhibai patted his arm and said softly, "You study hard for me now. After graduation, I will open a clinic for you in Shebham Street. The noble ladies there spend a lot of money. You I can feel at ease when I have a stable job and income."

The future path was arranged in an orderly manner by Tang Zhibai. Even though he knew that he would rebel, there was still a strange warm current in Louis' heart, and there was no change on his face.

He asked back: "In this way, I will never be able to protect you."

Tang Zhibai chuckled and said, "You're protecting me by being by my side safely? I don't want to lose any more relatives."

In the darkness, only the rustling of leaves could be heard from the wind outside the window, and the room was silent for a moment. For a long while, when Tang Zhibai was sleepy and his thoughts were foggy, he seemed to hear people beside him say, "Norman Manor will only be The shackles of your life, you will never be happy if you stay here, I don't want to see you like this. Bai, as long as you are willing to leave, I can protect you for the rest of your life."

Tang Zhibai thought he was peeped out by a teenager in his dream? Tang Zhibai felt a little sad, but he still didn’t want to discuss this issue with him in his dream. He turned around in a daze, and murmured, "Sleep, sleep..."

……

In the morning sun, the morning dew falls weakly on the path of young leaves and flowers.

Like a suburban cemetery, with a special location, Norman Manor was completely shrouded in thick fog. The servants wrapped their clothes tightly and cleaned the courtyard garden against the damp fog.

The thick curtains blocked the soft white light outside the window, and the warm bedroom was still pitch black. Who turned his back last night? Tang Zhibai, because he was afraid of the cold in the middle of the night and kept lusting after the temperature, at this time he was already nestled in Louis' arms, fair and delicate? The face is lined with the delicate bridge of the nose that rises and falls with breathing, and the small face is pressed against Louis, sleeping soundly.

The matter about the Burlington Territory came to an end, and he had a long period of time to rest. It was a rare and relaxing vacation, so Tang Zhibai slept well last night.Louis, who has already formed his physical habits, opened his eyes at six o'clock, are they awake? There is a trace of drowsiness in his eyes.

He didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing Tang Zhibai, he didn't even turn over to get up, he silently looked down at the sleeping face of the person in front of him, looking very seriously, the delicate and delicate facial features, even the fluff on the white skin Clearly, I lightly raised my fingertips and ran across his face, all the way down, across the bridge of the nose, eyebrows, the corners of the eyes, and finally stopped between his white and tender neck...

Until about ten o'clock, Tang Zhibai frowned slightly, flapped his eyelashes lightly, and muttered? After two inexplicable words, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of ignorance and confusion. He hadn't slept for so long for a long time? His eyes were slightly swollen, he? Look up? Look at Louie.

The voice was hoarse, "Louis, what time is it?"

Louis didn't look at his watch, and calmly said, "It's ten o'clock."

As Tang Zhibai said, he struggled to get up, rubbed his drowsy head, "Water..."

Louis habitually handed him the glass full of water placed on the bedside. Tang Zhibai took two sips to moisten his throat, and sighed softly, "It's been a long time since I indulged myself on vacation. Yes. You, did you agree last time? Do you want to worry about me, wake up? Just get up and have breakfast. It’s not good for your stomach if you do this for a long time.”

Louis didn't respond to them. He got up and put on the clothes neatly, then picked up the clothes on the side and put them on Tang Zhibai carefully, with gentle movements.

Tang Zhibai carried the quilt like this, and was still being manipulated by Louis drowsily.

……

The next day, Tang Zhibai kept his word;

The few working documents will be moved to the manor to deal with affairs, and at this time, Louis is sitting by the side reading a book silently, with a cup of hot coffee beside him, and does not bother him loudly.

From time to time to flip the caress of the paper, from time to time to ring the bell.Although the years are long, it is beautiful when the two of them wait quietly.

After dinner in the afternoon.

In the living room on the second floor, melodious music flows as usual, like the bright sunshine in March in Yangchun, mixed with a hint of sweetness, accompanied by the smog around the lake, forming a gorgeous movement. Tang Zhibai is enjoying it at this time? He? Wandering In the elegant rhythm, imagine the wonderful picture of the ideal country.

The rhythm of his fingertips is very provocative, and this luxurious white piano was a gift from Xiao Wei Ben Norman when he first came here, and Tang Zhibai has always cherished it.Louis quietly accompanied him, playing the chords, as elegant as a fairy angel above the nine heavens. In this musical feast, although he is the protagonist, he can always be overshadowed by Tang Zhibai's elegance.

Even a layman like Tina, who doesn't know the rhythm, looked excited and stared at Tang Zhibai intently. Obviously, he was the main character in the eyes of the audience when the curtain opened.

At the end of the song, Louis held down the trembling strings.

Tina, who was watching from the sidelines, jumped up excitedly, and even brought some little girls' admiration, "Master Lin! You are so wonderful, this is really the best song I have ever heard! Anyway, Better than those songs on the phonograph!"

Tang Zhibai was flipping through the sheet music with his hands still on the piano, and smiled politely back, "Tina, thank you for your praise. The main character at tomorrow's ceremony is Louis, and I'm just a musician practicing as a foil .”

Tina blinked, and said confidently: "Of course! Mr. Anjou played very well too! I have to think about it tonight, what kind of dress do you want? Do you want? No? Do you want to be Celette? Sir, please come, he has a very good eye for matching."

"Especially Mr. Anjou, who is so handsome and beautiful, he will definitely be the most outstanding one at the ceremony? That one." Speaking of Tina, he secretly glanced at Louis, his cheeks were even a little red.

Tina is not that old, just about the same age as Louis. Because she has to manage the servants in the manor, she sometimes looks a bit old-fashioned, but she has a good appearance, and she can be a beauty if she dresses up a bit.

Could it be that Tina likes Louie?

Such thoughts flashed by, he? No? Knowing what it was like in his heart, Tang Zhibai didn't want to think about it, so he said softly: "No? Don't bother Tina so much, and dress up for Louis, he? Is the protagonist ,Thanks a lot?."

On the other side of the piano, Louis put down the graceful Vinyl in his hand, and said calmly, "You are the main character, Mrs. McGarry mentions you to the juniors every year, otherwise? It should be Snow Stuart, he? It's the one who plays with you."

Thinking of Stuart, Tang Zhibai curled his lips in annoyance, and said eccentrically: "Maybe, I think he plays very averagely. It's just that he learned? It took a long time? He's not as good as you. These instruments After studying till now, who would not? Familiar with the rhythm and melody, and not particular about it? It’s just an expression of emotion.”

"The sound of their piano is full of arrogant and conceited attitudes, and they don't understand humility at all."

Slaves are not allowed to talk about the right and wrong of nobles. Tina looked at Tang Zhibai amusedly. Every word contained prejudice, which made the always gentle Young Master Lin speak fiercely. Presumably, Young Master Lin really had a great deal of affection for Mr. Snow Stuart. Opinion.

Louis rubbed the thin strings on the side, and listening to Tang Zhibai's words, the lake green eyes gradually dimmed. When he went down, he remembered the old foreign professor who was blushing and sternly criticizing him in the music, "in your music? no soul! '

The black-haired boy remained silent, thinking of the proud nobleman standing with Bai, the scene of the two of them performing together on the stage made the boy's eyes turn cold, and his broken hair fluttered on his forehead.

Thought that Louis was still concerned about the fact that he and Snow Stuart were on the same stage. After all, it was Tang Zhibai’s fault, so he agreed first? Louis, but he didn’t expect that Stuart proposed several times later, and even took out his work interests to threaten him?

He wanted to tell Louis about the quarrel with Stuart, to make Louis happy, and was about to speak.

Someone knocked on the door, and saw Mr. Grint holding a beautiful white gift box, standing politely at the door and knocking on the door.

Tang Zhibai was taken aback, and said, "Mr. Grint, please come in."

Mr. Grint is the steward who takes care of the duke in the manor, and usually he will not intervene in his life, so Tang Zhibai was a little surprised when he saw him handing the exquisite gift box to Tina, who quickly accepted it respectfully. Pass.

Looking at the box, Tang Zhibai raised his voice and took it, a little confused, "This is?"

The old butler smiled, "There is no mark on it, maybe it was a gift from one of your friends, so I just gave it to you? Come up."

"Thank you." Tang Zhibai nodded slightly towards him.

In the cold room, the elderly? The old butler also stood upright. Even though his temples were graying and there were wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, he would not lose his etiquette at all due to aging.

He only heard him say: "The duke has agreed to the doctor's proposal, and the operation will start tomorrow afternoon."

This time, Tang Zhibai's heart sank, as if a stone statue weighed heavily on his heart, suffocating and painful, but it brought some relief like releasing guilt, he said blankly: "Tomorrow?"

"Yes, so the Duke can't go to your performance, I hope you understand. Maybe when you go home tomorrow, you can see the baron sober."

Louis quickly supported Tang Zhibai, staring at Grint coldly and distantly.

Tang Zhibai didn't speak, he was indifferent? The brows and eyes gradually got wet, slowly, he? He said softly, "Really..."

After all, Xiao Wei Ben Norman chose to save Lin Xiaoyin's life between life and soul, but who ever asked about Lin Xiaoyin's choice, would he be willing to be such a proud man who was mentally handicapped all his life?But such an extreme and special problem is a suffering for everyone who makes a decision.

Even if it's him, he? Even if he doesn't want to see Lin Xiaoyin like this, he still wants to save his? life, let alone Xiao Wei Ben Norman who is in a delicate position, and he?...I'm afraid Will it be more painful than yourself?

The sour emotions in his heart were like a wave, overwhelming the sky and covering the sky in an instant, making Tang Zhibai struggling and powerless in this vortex. He? Trying to suppress his emotions, looked at Grint, and the voice of the questioner was a little hoarse, "...Is it safe?"

Grint chuckled all over, but there was a trace of coldness in his weak voice, "Mr. Lin, in Norman Manor, this operation can only be successful. Of course, the doctor has guaranteed it, so you can rest assured."

Tang Zhibai looked at his expression, and slowly frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

But he didn't want to deepen this kind of thinking, he was like a vicious dog at the gate of hell, the more he turned his head and paid attention, the worse it became...

At this moment, the phone on the corner table suddenly rang, and the crisp and harsh ringtone interrupted their thoughts and also broke the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Mr. Grint took a look at the phone, then walked towards Tang Zhibai with a sense of humor, and left the room after a salute.

Tang Zhibai stepped forward to pick up the microphone, and sat sideways on the sofa, "Hello?"

Except for a weak current on the other end of the phone, there was no human voice.

"Hello? Who is it?" He asked again.

This time, there was finally something on the phone? A chuckle.

Tang Zhibai immediately recognized the source of the sound, and immediately his face darkened. He calmed down and said coldly, "Stuart, you are really boring."

Who was wiping the strings over there? Louis' eyes darkened.

Snow Stuart chuckled softly, and said softly: "Ah, you are still so angry. After all these years, you still haven't calmed down? I just killed a stupid and lowly poor man, but he contributed to it. With the perfect end of this matter, their humble lives have been worthwhile, otherwise it will be delayed for a long time, and you shouldn't be blaming me."

Tang Zhibai sneered, "Really? I still have to thank you, right?"

As for his sarcasm, Stuart seemed not to have heard it, and still smiled and said: "I'm just teaching you how to do things, Ah Su, you are too kind sometimes, and the bastard around you can do it." See, but for the poor, too much? Pity is useless, and sometimes it can even pull you into the abyss."

Stuart has never looked down on Louis. This is something Tang Zhibai has always known. As an aristocrat, whenever the three meet, he always unintentionally excludes and despises Louis in his words and deeds. Let Tang Zhibai feel dark in his heart and hold back them all the time. Now that the affairs of the intersection of the two families have been completed, he doesn't want to hold back them anymore.

"So you called? Just to teach me how to do things? Lord Stuart is really, kind to me sometimes."

"Don't be angry, Ah, I didn't call? I didn't even call? Is it for? Talking about these things, why waste each other's precious time for those poor people? For tomorrow's performance, I prepared it for you? A surprise, accept Is it the gift box I gave you? "

Tang Zhibai frowned in disgust, and looked at the box in Tina's hand, "Is this box from you?"

Tina was taken aback, and hurried over to hand the box to him.

On the other side, Snow Stuart was leaning on the office chair with a microphone in one hand, and twirling a sharp saber with the other hand. He saw a poorly dressed homeless man lying tremblingly on the ground in front of him. The homeless man's hands and feet were tied behind his back. , his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his mouth was also covered with thick tape.

Can't see? Can't see, can't hum, can only hear the sound of the saber coming from the wind from his ears, his face is dead pale and frightened? His body trembles and he loses control of his urine. Throwing it, the blade was inserted into his thigh in an instant, his mouth was tightly sealed, and the homeless man was in extreme pain but he couldn't utter a word.

Can only trembling and struggling violently on the ground, Snow Stuart picked up a saber from the table again, the silver light shone, but his mouth remained gentle, "Open it, I specially prepared it for you. .”
