Bloody and seductive: Notes of a Vampire

Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, looking up at the little sunlight shining through the green grape trellis.

Spring is here, and the climate is starting to become warm and pleasant. The white grapes in Mantel's gardens have also grown new vines, and everything looks vibrant.

"Seeing that you are in good spirits, let's go horseback riding in the afternoon?" Jamie stopped what he was doing and raised his head, smiling at him.

"Okay."

"Master Rui, Mr. Jamie, the tea is ready!" Nora, the fat cook, stood far away from the door of the dining room, wiping her hands on her apron, and shouted angrily towards the vineyard.

"Understood!" The two laughed at the same time.

"Let's go." Jamie patted the grass leaves and dirt on Rui's body, and wrapped his arms around his waist intimately.

The newly purchased dozen or so wine barrels arrived, and the old butler Buzz was standing outside the winery with his stubby legs spread apart, directing the workers to move the barrels in one by one.In recent years, the wine business has been getting better and better. Rui Yi not only bought back two-thirds of the originally sold land to expand the vineyard, but also began to expand the scale of the winery in due course.

When passing Buzz, Rui patted the old butler on the shoulder.The top of Buzz's head was already bald, and he was taking out a bandanna to wipe the sweat off his forehead, when he turned around and saw them grinning.

"Buzz, you're not a young man in his 30s or [-]s, take it easy." Rui smiled.

"Don't worry, Master Rui, my body is still very strong, and I can live to be a hundred years old!" Buzz responded cheerfully.

Entering the dining room, what Nora prepared today was an apple tart baked carefully with cream, jam and lemon juice, paired with a large pot of fresh fruit tea, and the air was full of fragrance.

Rui Yi and Jamie were leaning on the white sofa, sipping refreshments leisurely, while talking one after another.The sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows shone on Ruiyi's thick, still blond hair, making it glow brightly.

Jamie suddenly reached out and stroked Rui's temples: "You have gray hair, Rui." His tone was distressed.

The corners of Rui Yi's lips twitched slightly: "Little Johnny has already entered Yosek Academy, we should be old too, time is fair to everyone."

Jamie also smiled, staring at the other party affectionately and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you... are always the most beautiful in my eyes!"

Rey turned her head to meet his gaze, didn't make a sound, just squeezed the hand that was holding his right arm tightly.

"...Johnny will be on vacation soon. We will clean up the attic in two days and make room for him to use a studio."

"Okay." Jamie paused, "However, you still hope that Johnny will come back to inherit the business of Mantel Manor?"

"Let him choose what to do in the future, and we don't have to worry about it." Rui Yi finished speaking calmly, and suddenly coughed softly.

Jamie immediately patted his back with his hand: "Rui, the only thing I'm worried about right now is your body..."

"After so many years, although the chronic diseases left by demonization cannot be cured, they are not too serious. Don't worry, Richard, we still have many plans to achieve together, and I will not break my promise." Rui raised his eyes and smiled , The azure eyes are like the calm sea surface full of sunshine.

"That's right, we're going to go out to sea to watch the sunrise together, to relive the feelings of the past..." Jamie grabbed Rui Yi's shoulders and let him lean into his arms, "You know? The storm at sea that year At that time, I really wanted to die with you, so that there would be nothing to separate us."

After listening to what he said, Rui drank the fruit tea in one breath: "What I said to you at that time was also serious."

"Ok?"

"If this passenger ship sinks just like that, I'd like to be buried in the bottom of the sea with you, even if it's beyond redemption." Rui Yi's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was so moving.

Jamie blinked suddenly, holding back the sparkle from the corners of his eyes, and took a deep breath.

After taking Rui Yi's empty cup and putting it on the coffee table, Jamie hugged him even tighter: "Then if the ship really sinks, there will be no troubles later. However, it will also miss our next few decades. It's fun, hehehe..."

"... Richard, thank you."

The sudden words made Jamie startled, and he lowered his head and kissed Rui Yi's blond hair gently: "Why are you saying that?"

"Whether it was the three years you imprisoned me as the earl, or the more than 20 years you spent with me, I never promised you anything. But you never gave up... The three-year debt you owe me, you have already given up It's over, I feel that I owe you a lot."

"Fool! Some things don't need to be said. Being with you is my greatest satisfaction!"

Rey raised the corner of his mouth, and solemnly kissed Jamie's lips: "If there is something, I can't save it. If there is no objection, I will declare the oath. From this moment on, Richard von Hamilton, Rey Ze Brandir, stay together in the name of love, and never leave until the end of both parties' lives."

Jamie smiled and deepened the kiss, and tears had already flowed down his cheeks: "No, no! Even if we die, we will not be separated!" God knows, how long I have been waiting for this moment...

"Gentlemen, would you like some fruit tea?"

The cook Nora appeared in the dining room with a teapot in her hand, admiring their sweet kiss with a big grin.

Rui smiled and sat up straight, cleared his throat: "Add more, Nora, thank you."

After taking a sip of the steaming fruit tea, Jamie regained his composure and remembered something: "It's been a long time since I heard from Xia Chen. Ray, shall I write a letter to invite him and the Night King to the manor?"

"No, he said he would come, and I think he'll remember."

Rui Yi never expected that the death of his partner Peventis made Xia Chen self-imprisoned for 300 years, and he was unable to see him again until he passed away.

Looking at the warm spring sunshine outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Rui raised the corners of his lips slightly.

In this beautiful and quiet vineyard, with the person who loves me the most, the days are plain and happy.

Xia Chen, this is exactly the life you hoped for me in the letter you left behind.

I have done it and achieved peace of mind and contentment.Richard and I will accompany each other and walk through the future of life hand in hand.

You want me to be happy and carefree every day, which is also what I want to say to you most.

Xia Chen, you must be happy too!

Be around those you love the most and who love you, and put on your brightest smile.

No matter how far apart or how long we have been apart, you will always be the deepest... concern in my heart.
