Perhaps it was because of too much worry, the next morning, Yu Gongcui failed to get out of bed on time.

His breathing became heavy and hot, and he was stuck in a quagmire of dreams and could not wake up.He struggled to get rid of this annoying sticky feeling, but unexpectedly, his feet were empty and he fell into the bottomless black abyss.

The feeling of weightlessness made the whole body tremble heavily.Trying to open his eyelids, what appeared in front of him was the worried face of the blue-haired boy, which gradually became clear as his eyes focused.

Jonathan was holding a wad of wet towels that he had just removed from his forehead.

"Are you awake?!" The eldest young master looked surprised and at a loss, "Does your throat hurt? Do you want some water? I'll ask the kitchen to cook some soup for you?"

"I……"

The hoarse voice was snuffed out by itself as soon as it sounded. Jonathan patted his shoulder empathetically, and tested the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand.

"You have a fever, it must be because of the rain yesterday. Well, it seems to have receded a bit... Anyway, take a good rest today! I will take good care of Cui!"

Amamiya Cui, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only reluctantly accept this kindness, and let JOJO wet the towel and wring it dry, and covered her forehead again.

The coolness with water vapor subdued the heat and made the mind a little clearer.He pulled himself together and was just about to find a topic, such as asking about the progress of his relationship with Alina, when he heard Jonathan speak out first.

"Who is Dazai? When you were about to wake up, you called me by that name."

... Then it seems that he is really sick.

Yu Gongcui stuffed herself deeper into the quilt. Seeing this, Young Master Qiao kindly helped to tuck the corners of the quilt.

Not ready to answer this question, he pretended he didn't hear anything just now, and asked hoarsely, "How was yesterday?"

Jonathan immediately understood, scratched his cheek embarrassedly, and showed a silly smile.

"It went well! After all, Elena is so cute, and Dad is very satisfied. In fact, we have already discussed in private. When she becomes an adult, the wedding will be held, and you and Dio will be the best man at that time!"

Although I have already known how stupid and sweet this person is, every time I hear that the other party puts Dior in his future life plan with enthusiasm, it is still a relatively important position--Amiya Chui can't help but cat sigh.

The second young master has indeed settled down a bit in the past few years, and hasn't made any troubles.But Yu Gongcui is not sure, is this simply completing a deal with herself, the "demon", or is she planning to lurk down and paralyze others?

The only thing that is certain is that that guy will never be obedient.

Thinking of this, he asked casually.

"Where's Dio?"

Jonathan still smiled brightly, and replied casually: "Oh, I'm going to take Alina home."

...? ? ?

Xiao Cui slowly typed out a series of question marks.

"You're so relieved—" He was so excited that he couldn't help coughing, "So relieved of your brother's character?"

Before Jonathan could answer, there was a gloomy mocking sound from the door of the room.

"My character is obvious to all."

"Bendio saw that JOJO was busy taking care of you who was sick, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to take the guest home. He didn't expect that what he got was not gratitude, but this kind of yin and yang bad words—tsk, I was so sad that I almost burst into tears."

He didn't hear any hints about the drop in trust value, and Yu Gongcui, who was lying on the bed with salted fish, was indifferent, but Jonathan, who was on the side, panicked and hurriedly wanted to explain a few words, but was blocked by Dio's stare.

"It's time for a shift change, JOJO."

The blond-haired boy strode over, snatched the towel from the good-tempered Jonathan with an unquestionable posture, and pushed the latter away with his elbow, clearly disgusted.

The young master subconsciously moved towards the door, but when he turned his head to look at the weak and weak friend on the bed, and then at Dio who looked worried, he immediately hesitated.

Yu Gongcui coughed twice in a low voice, her voice was weak.

"Don't go, Master Jonathan, as soon as you go out, someone will take personal revenge on you, and I will be strangled to death right here."

Hearing this, Dio raised his eyebrows, and threw the crumpled towel into the basin heavily.Seeing this scene, JOJO felt relieved, said a few nonsense words like "You two have such a good relationship", and finally moved out of the room reluctantly.

After a moment of silence, Dio, who was alone with the patient, finally spoke bitterly.

"That woman—is more annoying than the flies flying around melons and fruits in summer! Didn't she bump into her when I came back from you last night, and kept saying 'I'll keep it a secret for you' Such stupid words are simply lacking in lessons!"

Yu Gongcui's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she reminded in a low voice: "That's Jonathan's fiancee."

"Otherwise?" Dio sneered, "If it wasn't for that idiot's unique taste, this kind of village girl Bendio wouldn't even take a look!"

Already numb to this person's strange logic, he simply pointed out the emphasis.

"Be respectful, Dio, I don't want you to conflict with JOJO."

The towel was slammed onto the ground, and the disobedient young man burst into anger, his brows were furrowed, and the veins on his forehead twitched and twitched.

"Why? Why!!"

"The house ticket servant, that idiot, is the young master who wants everything - only you should be on Bendio's side! Don't forget, only I can give you what you want!!"

His roar echoed across the room.The corners of the drawn curtains were blown by the breeze blowing through the open windows, creating undulating ripples.

Seemingly sluggish due to the fever, Amamiya Tsui blinked belatedly.

The reason for the anger is...failure to get favourites.

But at the end of the day, he and Dio are just trying to control each other.They are greedy for the value that the other party can bring, but they are unwilling to submit obediently, thus sacrificing part of their spiritual independence.

During the running-in process, there will inevitably be a party that is damaged, but judging from this frustration, this party is not him.

He sighed softly, trying to soften his voice.Yu Gongcui stared at the still angry young man with calm eyes, and said something that must not be understood by the other party.

"I'm not on anyone's side, Dior, I'm the deacon of you and Jonathan."

"It's impossible to ignore, favor or indulge you. Because from the beginning, I didn't regard you as a friend, and I won't in the future either."

"'friend'?"

The blood-like red eyes stared at him firmly, revealing a sharp and arrogant ironic smile.

"People are just using each other. Bendio doesn't need that kind of thing at all. Whether it's you or Jonathan, it's just, just—"

He choked.

Yu Gongcui yawned a little due to sleepiness, her vision was blurred by tears.Seeing that the second young master was gnashing his teeth and staring at the air, as if he wanted to extract a suitable vicious word from it, he subconsciously answered.

"Fetters?"

The second young master did the reading comprehension literally, and nodded viciously in agreement.

"That's right, in short, it's something that keeps Bendio in check!"

"But that's a necessity for human beings." Yu Gongcui felt a little amused, if it wasn't for the heavy body curled up in the bed, she probably couldn't help but raise her hand to caress the little golden retriever with the second disease, "If you just blindly get rid of these things , Blind pursuit of absolute freedom, it must be no longer a human being, Master Dior."

The latter snorted indifferently, obviously not thinking it was a big deal.

Yu Gongcui touched her throat which was already starting to hurt, and decided to end the meeting.If the position, principle and soul are relatively obscure and difficult to understand, then Dior, who is always quite straightforward in dealing with desire, still has to adopt the classic method of quick results.

"When you become an adult, I will give away the property equivalent to Joestar's family. If you still long for this final prize, can you fulfill your promise with me and continue to be a worry-free and good boy?"

——Lacking the longing and greed before, the red eyes just stared at him coldly.

【warn!warn!The trust value of the attacking target has dropped...it has rebounded...in violent fluctuations, temporarily unable to detect it! 】

Yugong Cui didn't realize it, but just slightly raised the corners of her lips.

"Then I will take it as your consent."

He closed his eyes and never looked at Dio again.The system's broadcast sound was intermittent, and finally failed to stabilize on the exact number. As the target of the attack left, it stopped, leaving a silence that could be heard by breathing.

... a little skeptical about his position.

Perhaps this suspicion will continue until a decisive action is taken to be credible.

Sure enough, the weight of a pocket watch is too light, and the superficial light words are not convincing.He has been holding Dio obediently with the wonderful expectations that are longing but not yet available, like a scumbag with evil intentions——Thinking about it, he almost feels guilty.

Having said that, there didn't seem to be any trouble when I went to see Elina off today.

No matter what vicious thoughts are in your head, as long as you still pretend to be a gentleman, it is worthy of praise.Then, I have to work harder on my side, and strive to present the first big gift before the end of the year.

---------------------

This Christmas, under the fir trees decorated with ribbons, gold stars and white snowflakes in the villa, Dior Brando received an unexpected gift.

The black gift box received from the deacon who didn't know what to do, after unpacking, there was a small round seal inside.

Seeing his doubts, the other party lowered his voice and explained a few words in a soft tone.

"It's a company I opened before, and it has achieved good results this year. I originally planned to give it to you directly, but after all, you are still underage, and there are some troubles in the procedure... Why don't you just give you this seal representing the right to make decisions about affairs? Woolen cloth?"

Silently gathered five fingers, the round metal seal was heavy and cold, with a distinct sense of presence in the palm.After a long time, I questioned thoughtfully.

"Shell company?"

The smile on the deacon's face cracked, but he still explained patiently: "I won't tell such a lie that can be easily revealed. The specific information has been placed in your room, and the company's bank account and password are the same. If you If you still have concerns, you can go to another day to confirm.”

Just listening to this rhetoric, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.Well, after all, it is a non-human being, and this level of ability can be called barely.

So he pretended to put the seal in his coat pocket casually, and even though he was satisfied, he still couldn't help asking something that he cared about very much.

"Is it unique to me?"

"what?"

"What a fool. I mean, did you get the same Christmas gift for that idiot JOJO? Or did you just give him [-]% of the stock from my company?!"

The picture is too strong, he has already started to get angry!

The deacon's expression was blank: "No, this is not some Chinese cabbage... The gift for Master Jonathan and Miss Alina is a pair of engagement rings, your gift is unique, I can guarantee this."

Only then was Dio truly satisfied, and with a light snort, he raised his chin arrogantly.

"Okay, then I'll take it reluctantly—but don't think that you can get rid of Dio with such a small amount, you understand?"

[This person is very useful. 】

——At the same time, I confirmed this again in my heart.

Although it would be inexplicable to cover up that useless JOJO, and trying to put him in shackles is also tiresome...but it doesn't matter.For this "usefulness", he, Dio Brando, can tolerate these small inconveniences.

As if he knew what was going on in his heart, the black-haired boy in a tuxedo opposite him gave a meaningful smile.

"Of course. I can give you . . . and much more."

Under the flickering candlelight, with the same seductive tone as when he revealed his true form three years ago, the devil uttered bewitching words that made people willing to sacrifice their souls, mocking the day of the birth of God.

There are many more.many.

The boundaries of desire expand endlessly.

Perhaps because of drinking alcohol, the brain produced a slightly excited dizziness.He rubbed the smooth edge of the seal with his fingertips, grinning with delight.

"In that case, let's show Bendio—what amazing Christmas gifts you can give before you come of age."

Present at 15 is a thriving clothing company.The small brass signature was placed by his bedside and played with occasionally, but never used.

The 16-year-old gift is a piece of land on the east side of London, on which a factory building has been built.It was too close to the unbearable memories of his childhood, and he lacked interest, so he didn't intend to visit.

The 17-year-old gift is more straightforward. It is an account in the Royal Bank, with the financial reports of more than a dozen companies since their establishment.The profits generated by the latter are pouring into that specific account all the time and regularly, adding to his wealth. The astronomical number that keeps rising, the suffix unit is the real pound, could not have been imagined by him when he was 12 years old.

When ..., what he felt was finally no longer almost a greedy desire.

In the days when he was hungry, beaten, and humiliated in the slums, he cried viciously and vowed to trample those people under his feet, but now that his wish has come true, he is still thinking about it, longing for something else .

Swallow the bait and let him be at his mercy?

This is too ridiculous.Gifts are of course to be accepted, but since the greatest benefits have already been obtained, why continue to act, pretending to be kind and filial, and respectful to brothers and sisters?

As soon as his true nature was revealed, Dior decided to unilaterally break the agreement with the deacon the second after checking the balance of his bank account, stretching his hands and feet to his heart's content after a long absence.

He left the bank and hurried to Ghoul Street with ease.

-----------------------------

Yu Gongcui is very distressed recently.

Last Christmas, according to the usual practice, he planned to use extraordinarily bold and generous strokes to increase Dior's trust.

If the strategy of other characters is like going through a maze, trying hard to move forward and occasionally entering a fork, then the strategy of Dio is a straight road from the entrance to the end, with "Give me the money" written on each floor tile. Give me my money."

The transaction between the two is so simple, direct and rude.Yu Gongcui handed over the gift, and Dio opened it to see, oh, this property is good, equivalent to one-tenth of Joestar's family, so the trust value increased by five points as it should be, pure and unpretentious.

But something went wrong this year.

The second young master received the gift and did not do anything. Not only did the trust value not increase, but it dropped a lot.

Seeing the arrival of the new year, time flies, and it is almost autumn.Dio's trust value remained motionless at a delicate value, but Yu Gongcui didn't have the heart to study it for the time being - because Sir Joestar suddenly fell ill.

The cough continued, and the fingers were swollen and painful. The symptoms were a bit like a bad cold, but much more severe and long-lasting.

The wedding of Jonathan and Elena, which was originally scheduled to be held this year, was also postponed. Ser Joestar, who was seriously ill, always felt very sorry for this, and this brooding almost made Amamiya Chui a little bit dumbfounded.

"If you're really that eager to witness that scene, you should recover your body quickly."

He handed over the water and medicine, watched Jazz open the paper package with slightly trembling hands, and swallowed the contents in one gulp, "Aren't you planning to go to the hospital?"

"That's what the doctor suggested, but I'm more used to it at home."

Six years have made the man much older than when he first met Yu Gongcui, and his temples have turned gray.But in contrast, Dior and Jonathan, who were still half-children six years ago, have grown up rapidly, and their height and shape are outstanding among their peers——

Compared with the two who often represent the school in various sports events and are the aces of the rugby school team, Yu Gongcui is abruptly set off to be somewhat weak.

He is obviously tall, but he is not enough to look at young people in his early 1.9 meters.Although there has been no conflict for a long time, Amamiya Tsui has always suspected that Dior, who is now well-trained all over his muscles, can beat him with one hand, and the gap between physical fitness is no longer within the range that small skills can make up for.

This made him feel sorry for him, and turned to make up for the lack of force value from the firearms. Fortunately, the accuracy he practiced when he was in Hong Kong was still there, which somewhat smoothed out some imbalances.

Sir Joestar was already mentally ill due to illness, and after taking the medicine, he became more and more sleepy, and fell asleep after a while.Yu Gongcui left the room lightly, returned to the living room on the first floor, and nodded to the few people standing or sitting in it.

"Uncle has already fallen asleep, and the illness is still not cured. Do you want to change the doctor?"

Jonathan nodded worriedly upon hearing this, while Alina hugged his arm comfortingly, and gently stroked his fiancé's back twice with her right hand.

"There's nothing to worry about. The previous medicine must be wrong. It's good to see a famous doctor with rich experience! Isn't Cui going to London in the afternoon? Why don't you invite a doctor over by the way?"

Amamiya Tsui glanced over Dio, who was also worried but silent, and after pretending to think about it, she agreed to Elena's proposal.

"It's not too late, why don't I start now, maybe I can come back before dark."

After telling the few Sirs who were seriously ill to take good care of them, Yu Gongcui got into the carriage and rushed towards the city of London tens of kilometers away at the fastest speed.
