[Blood] Shura's Castle

Although the embrace was not strong, it was warm and reassuring.

That was something that the blood race didn't have. The warmth of body temperature was enough for her to close her eyes quietly and fall into a deep sleep.

The author has something to say: I took a break from my busy schedule to write out the manuscript with a pen, and then typed and sent it on my mobile phone bit by bit. God, my neck is about to break.

The pen water always leaked out of my hands, and one day it even spilled over into the physics book, but luckily it didn't splash on the important content.

I don't know when the computer will be repaired. The so-called 5-7 working days gave me the urge to write a complaint letter in English.

Chapter 42 Silver Snow (Part [-])

"Sounds so tiring..."

She threw her arms around the prince's body.She could feel every protruding bone in her body.

"Don't you think it's painful?" She pinched Leng Xing's nose, "I remember you once said that my shoulders are as thin as a blade."

The Duke narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"You are so vengeful... I also said that your waist is as thin as a wicker."

The Duke's face was instantly gloomy, and the teasing smile on his lips disappeared without a trace.

From Leng Xing's words, she recalled the scene of that night, and then connected to the ring and her parents who died tragically.

"Proseus, for the sake of power, he killed my father, forced me to fight, and even..."

She thought of the victim whose blood was drained alive in the light of the magic circle that night.

Her heroic eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she gritted her teeth: "I must make his life worse than death!"

Leng Xing was silent for a while.

Never before had she shown such intense emotion and such deep hatred.

"Even if you will pay a heavy price?"

For some reason, Leng Xing suddenly remembered the question the Duke asked her that night.

A daughter who was forced into marriage, and a father who was not a father.

"Even so." The Duke's voice was as cold as iron.

"Even if you have nothing?"

"...Yes." After a moment of silence, the Duke answered resolutely.

"Even if you lose me?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" the Duke roared, wrapping his hands around Leng Xing's shoulders.

A burst of intense pain, Leng Xing even had a terrible feeling, as if his bones would be broken into pieces.

It was snowing outside the window.

The strong wind was raging, and the trees with fallen leaves trembled in the wind, and the bare branches looked pitiful.

She locked Leng Xing in her arms and kissed her lips forcefully.No, it's not a kiss, it's more like a bite, like a greedy plunder.She rubbed her lips, her white teeth almost biting the pink petals to bleed.Lips that are obviously extremely cold, but they are burning like a prairie fire, like the color of her bright red lips, burning her reason to nothing, tempting her to sink, to the deepest part of the earth, together... forever.

Leng Xing's originally pale face turned red, and she could hardly breathe.The kiss violently took away all the oxygen, and before her eyes were large, colorful and blurred patches of color melting.

She knew that the Duke was afraid, and used this crazy way to vent his fear.

But the Duke forgot that he is a blood race, so he doesn't need to breathe.Leng Xing is different.

She broke free with all her strength, breathing heavily.

The duke's eyes were still clouded: "You are mine, and no one can take you away."

Her tone was cold, firm and unshakable, just like every time she gave orders to soldiers.

"But," Leng Xing smiled charmingly, "I asked you if you must take revenge, even if you have nothing. You answered me 'yes'. Doesn't having nothing mean losing me?"

"That's different! Don't play word games with me!" The irritable voice shook her eardrums.It seems that it is difficult for her to calm down about Leng Xing.

"All I know is... I don't want you to lose everything." Leng Xing's tone softened, "Because having nothing means losing your life, but I don't want to lose you."

Pressing against her forehead, Leng Xing kissed her lightly.

"This feeling is the same as your fear of losing me."

That's why I ask you such a question, I just hope you can think clearly and don't be blinded by hatred.

"I'm not afraid." The Duke insisted, "Then why break away?"

She thought it was a rejection.

"Because you are too rough, my dear." Leng Xing giggled, but at the moment her shoulders were so painful that she wanted to take a breath, "I never thought that the first kiss you gave me would be like this..."

She prolongs her voice on purpose.

The Duke watched her nervously, as if awaiting a verdict.

Leng Xing tilted his head and thought for a while: "Enthusiastic (enthusiastic)?"

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because... I can't breathe. Didn't you notice that you almost bit my lip before, and I didn't respond?"

She brushed her hair back, and kissed softly, accompanied by a whisper: "So, it's not rejection. I know it, I know it all."

The Duke pursed his lips tightly, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

She only thought that Leng Xing pushed her away, but she forgot that Leng Xing's patience and tolerance under the stormy attack before.

She allowed herself to break through her defenses and drive straight in.

She bites almost like a beast, and she just patiently soothes her uneasiness with the tip of her tongue.

With a gesture of concession, she tolerated her fear, her madness, and her irritability.

Until the moment of the limit, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Afterwards, she teased to break the tense atmosphere.

She soothed her mood with delicate kisses.

She kept saying that she was the one who accompanied her, took care of her, and protected her from any harm, but she didn't know that it was she who was always taking care of herself.

She tolerated all the panic and hysteria brought about by a lonely and depressed life.

"I'm sorry." The Duke's voice was hoarse.

"Say something stupid." She blocked the Duke's lips, "I don't like to hear these three words. You didn't, sorry for me."

After a moment, a shallow kiss ended.Leng Xing raised his head and looked into those ecstatic eyes: "You just love me, but you don't know how to express it."

Snow drifted down from the iron-blue sky, and the Duke couldn't help but think of that winter.

Cold Niflheim, the country of snow.

The sky is full of snow and blood, on the pure white snow, the blood blooms enchanting flowers, cruel, sinful flowers.

However, at that time, she lost her last relative.

And now, beside her lay her lover.

The Duke hugged Leng Xing gently, not daring to exert any strength.

"I have to do it, because he killed my parents, knowing it but not taking revenge is not my style. More importantly, I have no choice." The Duke's voice returned to calm.She has become calm and rational in front of everyone again, Lord Rose Duke, who is neither flustered nor nervous, unlike Leng Xing's lover who is nervous and angry, gentle and smiling.

"Honey, have you read "No.20 Catch-[-]"?"

"Oh, that book." Leng Xing smiled, as if missing a friend he hadn't seen for many years, "Of course I've read it, it's a novel known as the originator of American black humor in the 20s. Joseph Hay Le is a genius."

As soon as the novel was mentioned, Leng Xing returned to the nature of a literary youth, and his eyes began to shine: "'If you can prove that you are crazy, it means you are not crazy!' This novel is too ironic. On the one hand, a lunatic In order to be exempted from flying, you must apply in person; on the other hand, anyone who is aware of the dangers of flying and applies for exemption is a clear-headed person who should continue to perform flying missions... How should I put it, in short, it is very absurd No matter how you choose the scene, it will be wrong..."

The Duke looked at her quietly, and after she finished speaking, he said, "Yeah, it's a desperate situation, right?"

"No matter what you choose, it is impossible to escape...the dilemma...don't tell me you are too?!"

The voice suddenly raised, and Leng Xing's eyes widened in surprise.She understood what the Duke wanted to convey.

The Duke had no choice but to, no matter what, she was like the captain in the novel, no matter what she did, she couldn’t escape the terrible fate of manipulation and had to fly... Unless, he really went crazy one day, couldn’t control the plane anymore, and then crashed and died , otherwise...he can't escape...

can't escape...

until death...

no choice...

She recalled the phrase "I have to do" that the Duke said earlier.

Heaviness, depression, and even a desperate look.

"You mean, you're like him?"

"Do not."

The Duke spit out a word softly.

"What he faces is whether to fly or not to fly. What I face is life and death. He can desert and flee to the neutral country of Sweden. I have no choice but to fight to the death."

The expressionless face, and the extremely cold words.

"Remember the first time you met me?"

"Why don't you remember..." Leng Xing remembered everything about the Duke as clearly as her professional knowledge, "You were so horribly injured that day, I thought at the time..." She swallowed the words "death for sure" down.

But the Duke would not fail to understand her expression.

"If I were human, I could meet my parents before you bring me here."

There was a hint of mockery in her voice, as if mocking fate.

So what if so many people hate her, and what if she is controversial within the blood clan?The war failed to kill her, the Hydra Cole failed to take her life, and Auston was merciful to her... She lived a difficult life, but she was alive!

The Duke suddenly grabbed Leng Xing's hand.

Leng Xing was startled, and then let her hands move.

The Duke took her hand and slowly reached into his clothes.

The cold touch surprised her.

"what?"

A blush flew across Leng Xing's face.

She felt her smooth and delicate skin.

"here."

She felt slightly rough protrusions, which had a different touch from the surrounding skin. They were long and looked like...

She couldn't help but lift the hem of the duke's shirt.

Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed.

The duke let her fiddle with him and remained motionless.

On the flawless skin, at No. 12 ribs on the left, there is a long scar, glowing moon white...

Like the marks left by a sharp knife.

"Is it from that day?" Her lips trembled with her voice, and her eyes were strange.

"Yes." The Duke withdrew his hand, allowing Leng Xing's fingers to continue to touch the scar, with human body heat, "You don't think... you dislike it, do you?"

You must know that the originally perfect Duke was spoiled by this scar, at least she thought so.

Even if, except Leng Xing and herself, no one knows.

"No."

Leng Xing withdrew his hand.Then she did something completely unexpected to the duke.

As if to prove her words, she lowered her head and kissed the scar.

The Duke's expression suddenly became very strange.

"Cold star." She tried hard to restrain her vocal cords.

"Ok?"

"You didn't think I wanted to..."

The opponent's face became like a boiled shrimp.

"Baby, if you don't stop quickly, I don't guarantee that I have that concentration."

You know, you're my heroin.

Leng Xing put down the hem of her shirt and slipped back into her arms.

"I just want to prove that I don't dislike it."

"Then you had weird eyes just now."

She really wanted to answer, I feel sorry for you, but as soon as the words came out, it became: "It's clear that you misunderstood."

A "I just don't admit it" expression on his face.

"Well, I was wrong." The Duke smiled dotingly. "That day, I was hunted down and almost died."

Leng Xing didn't speak.

"In the evening, I was hunted down again. The men who hunted me down both times were sent by the same person, and he was the one Proseus wanted me to marry."

"Does he know?"

"know."

"Oh my god!" Leng Xing exclaimed, his fingers tightened on the Duke instantly, "This is clearly..."

Put her duke to death.

She couldn't go on.

"That's right." The Duke smiled wryly, as if he could see what she was thinking, "So, I have to do it no matter what. Because if he doesn't die, I have to die."

"Catch-22?"

"If I don't do a coup, I will be killed by him. If I do a coup, he has every reason to put me to death."

"So... instead of waiting to die, why don't you give it a go?"

They are all forced to this point, even if the Duke doesn't want to do it, she will encourage her to do it.

"Yes. The reason why I didn't say it before is that on the one hand, I'm still investigating and don't fully know the truth; on the other hand..." She suddenly became serious, "I don't want you to be involved."

Leng Xing looked at her dissatisfied.

"A lover should share weal and woe," she said earnestly.

"But it doesn't mean I should ask my lover to die! Do you know how dangerous it is?"

The Duke's voice suddenly rose.

Leng Xing, you don't know, all politicians believe in this sentence——

Only the dead cannot speak.

Therefore, it is destined that some things can only be secrets forever.

I didn't even have the confidence to get out of my body.

The Duke looked away from Leng Xing, she was afraid that Leng Xing would see through her thoughts.

The Duke has always been used to repression, hiding everything in his heart, and taking all difficulties with himself.

This is closely related to her experience of not being accompanied by her mother since she was a child, and rarely cared for by her father.

"Then I will be with you too."

Leng Xing's voice was calm, not high-pitched, and without any intense emotion, but it was like a bolt of lightning.

It hit the pure-blood who was always calm and rational.

There was a strange feeling in the Duke's heart, but she still kept a cold face: "Don't be self-willed."

The voice was calm and unwavering, with unshakable majesty, like a high-ranking emperor, unable to resist.

She has always controlled her expression very well, and this time is no exception.

Leng Xing really wanted to say something more, but he chose to remain silent.

As keen as her, as careful as her, how could she fail to see that no matter how much she said, it would be futile?

In front of this blood clan with peerless beauty and noble status, she has always said one thing, she can treat herself tenderly and considerately, but it is her nature to be born as a superior.

However, just because she couldn't say it didn't mean she couldn't act.

She just doesn't do things that don't work in vain.None of these two people gave in so easily, the Duke was like this, and so was Leng Xing.

Seeing her silence, the Duke knew that Leng Xing was very unhappy, so he softened his tone a bit: "Baby, I just don't want you to be hurt. Now I don't have the ability to control the overall situation."

"I know, I'm useless, I can't help you do these things, and I even want you to worry about fear and my safety." She said explosively, with a rampant look, "But I think, if you Can you share with me, can you be less depressed? At least, you are not alone."

The tone of outburst and guilt for her own powerlessness gradually calmed down, Leng Xing's eyelids became heavier and lower, and her voice became lower and lower, she was about to be unable to hold on.

Finally, she slowly fell asleep.

There was another sentence that she didn't have time to say——

You still have me.

The Duke just stroked her soft hair without giving any answer: "Sleep, baby."

She has never been good at expressing emotions.

She held Leng Xinghuan in her arms, tucked in the quilt, and wrapped her human girl tightly.

Outside the window has become a silver-white world, snowflakes are flying wantonly, like tears frozen in the sky, drifting, whirling and falling to the ground.

Those who followed suit turned into nothing.

The pure white hexagonal ice crystals covered the world and all the filth and darkness.

Everything is gone, only the whiteness that stretches for thousands of miles, with a holy fragrance and a bone-chilling chill.

However, one day, the ice and snow will melt, and what is covered, concealed, and obliterated will finally be seen again.

All that is needed is time; all that is to be done is to wait.

The author has something to say: catch-22 represents a kind of dilemma.

Chapter 43 Exam Week (Part [-])

The outcome of the game is always unpredictable.

- Leng Xing

After the Department Exam, Leng Xing lingered for a few days.The word was used because she was literally going to be driven insane by the constant bombing of the exams that followed.

What about the top student?So what about a high IQ?How can you be content and unmoved when everyone around you is studying hard with staring eyes?Moreover, Leng Xing is a perfectionist. Even the purely voluntary labor that takes a lot of time without any pay and takes a lot of time to work in the student union has to fight until he dies, let alone exams linked to scholarships?

It's just that her crazy mood has been reflected in her handwriting.

On the day before the English test, when the mysteriously missing Lord Duke appeared in front of Leng Xing, what caught his eyes was the chaotic and messy handwriting. The English letters were distorted to the extent that the Duke believed that this was definitely not written by humans. out, so, out of curiosity, she asked, "Who wrote that?"

"Me." Leng Xing didn't raise his head, flipping through the pile of draft paper with neat handwriting like notes from a printer.

"Where are the notes?"

"I."

The Duke was speechless. The handwriting with such a huge gap could be written by the same person. Fortunately, she refrained from asking "Who wrote that word like a dog crawling", otherwise it would be a big surprise.

Just when she was secretly rejoicing, the person next to her suddenly raised her head: "By the way, where have you been these few days?"

The Duke squeezed his eyes, with a "this is a secret" expression on his face.

"Okay. What are you supposed to do? I'll continue reading."

Leng Xing reached out and pushed the Duke who was close to her to the seat next to her, and lowered his head angrily to continue studying.

"Don't do this, don't do this, I said it's not okay..."

Seeing that Leng Xing's head was submerged in the book again, the Duke raised the white flag to surrender.

"What you said~ everything came from the truth~" Leng Xing raised his head with a smile, and the Duke instantly realized that he had been cheated.

"Actually it's like this..."

I don't know what happened, the duke, who has always been conscientious, suddenly lost sight of his head and tail, and disappeared.The military department couldn't find her, the Elders' Association couldn't find her, the company couldn't find her, and even - even Leng Xing couldn't find her.The only good thing is that Leng Xing can receive a text message from the Duke wishing her good night every day, showing her that the Duke still exists on the earth.In addition, the Duke seemed to have evaporated, and no one had any news of her.

The first day passed, and everyone in the military department thought that the Duke had something to do, so they didn't take it seriously; When they couldn't find it, they panicked.

What's more frightening is that Proseus came suddenly.

The cold air was overflowing, and the strong wind was blowing. His Royal Highness Prince Proseus stepped into the cast iron gate of the military headquarters, and his eyes radiated an icy aura comparable to that of Hades, the king of the underworld.Seeing the arrival of the leader, the staff of the military department kept silent and rushed to make way for him.Proseus turned a blind eye to this and went straight to the Duke's desk, his blond hair flying with his black robe.He walked through whipped winds strong enough to turn the tropics into the arctic and freeze boiling water to solid ice.

The official documents of the military department have not been approved by anyone, and they have reached the point of piling up like a mountain.The Duke was nowhere to be seen, and the Praetorian Guards looked for her everywhere, but they still found nothing.Her disappearance directly affected the normal operation of the military machinery, and the Fanzhuo family was in dire straits.His Royal Highness Prince Proseus, the head of the military department, was furious when he saw this scene. When he heard that his "daughter" was missing, he kicked over the table and smashed the ink bottle to pieces on the ground.

There are spiritual seals on those official documents, but they can only prevent unauthorized people from peeping, and it does not mean that they are waterproof, moisture-proof and stain-proof.

Under the influence of the low air pressure around His Royal Highness Prince and the destruction of spiritual energy, the Vatican military headquarters became a mess, as if it had been robbed by robbers, even comparable to a crime scene of beating, smashing, looting and burning.

"His Royal Highness..."

When the staff of the military department saw the Big Boss appearing, they were stunned and crashed on the spot, their hands and feet were cold, and their whole body was stiff, as if they had directly suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

"Where is the Duke of Rose?"

Proseus spoke with an unfriendly expression, his eyes were colder than a poisonous snake.In the past two days, no documents have been sent to him for approval, but the Presbyterian Church attacked the military department on the grounds that the military department did not perform military affairs effectively.

Proseus responded grimly: "There are no documents for my approval, no orders at all."

"That's a problem with the military department." An elder said with an air of nothing to do with himself, "Perhaps as the head of the military department, you should go and see for yourself."

Proseus was choked half to death, but thinking of the unusual situation of being "too leisurely" these two days, he was very sensible and didn't speak any more.

In case it was an internal problem in the military, if he opened his mouth casually and found out that it was an internal conflict, how would he end it?After all, this situation is not unprecedented, and he has also suffered from this kind of embarrassment of not being able to step down, which is raging all over his body.

"The Duke is not here..."

"Not here? Send the approved documents."

"No……"

The trembling voice, the poor staff members trembled and knelt down under the pressure released by Proseus, their voices were so broken that they couldn't speak.

"No?! For three days, no one reviewed the official document, and your answer is no?!"

The prince raised his voice, veins popping in his neck.A roar like thunder echoed in the hall, and the lingering sound lingered incessantly. Seeing this, the surrounding staff and guards all pretended to have something to do and left in a hurry, for fear of being affected.

But it was still a step too late, and none of them escaped the tragic end of the prince's outburst of anger.

"me……"

The air wave around the prince instantly soared, and those unlucky staff members flew out one after another, falling to pieces.

With a sullen face, Proseus walked to the place where the Duke usually approves official documents, and found that the table was in a mess, and all the sent documents were in a state of unsealed seals.He took out a card to unlock the seal, and found that it was three days ago.

In other words, she disappeared three days ago, and she didn't even look at the documents on the table!

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, as if venting his anger, Proseus kicked over the table on which the official documents were placed, and the ink bottle kissed the marble floor with a bang, and his body was smashed to pieces, completely staining the official documents floating down.

Watching the ink flow under his feet, leaving most of the documents behind, made Proseus even more furious.The documents in his hand crumbled into shreds between his tight knuckles. He stared and yelled at the staff and guards all over the hall: "Get out all of them! Look for them all! If you can't find them, don't come back!"

The vampires inside, as well as the human beings who had signed a contract with the vampires and voluntarily served, rushed out of the finely crafted cast iron gate, disappearing faster than the terrible storm that blew up around him.In the blink of an eye, only Prince Proseus with a gloomy face was left standing in the hall of the huge Vatican Army, with ink marks on his boots.

The breath on his body is more trembling than the occasional gusts of wind blowing from the underground building, and he feels cold all over his body.

When the Duke heard about the chaos in the military department from her intelligence department, she couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: "I'm too impatient, how can the high-ranking military chief become as good as the brainless and violent McGee. Could it be that they saw the right thing and came together?"

By the way, a sarcastic smile appeared.

Leng Xing nearly burst out laughing when she heard this, she hurriedly got up and ran to the study room, and then propped herself against the wall, laughing out loud like convulsions, her whole body trembling.

"Is it that funny?" Although the Duke thought it was ridiculous for Proseus to destroy the military headquarters because of his disappearance, it wasn't that ridiculous.

"No, no, that's what you said."

"Which one?"

"Could it be that they came together because they saw the right thing? This is the most naked sex!" Leng Xing laughed so hard that she couldn't speak clearly. The Duke gave her a hand.

"The rotten girl is invincible. Ever since I was with you, my smile has dropped."

In fact, she wanted to say that her IQ had also been lowered, but she dared not say so in front of Leng Xing, who was proud of her high IQ.

Under the influence of Leng Xing, the Duke also learned a lot of new human vocabulary, such as "rotten girl" and "fucking gay". Now she can communicate with new human beings without barriers.

"Hahahahahaha...it's so funny, you continue to talk, I still want to hear..."

Seeing that the scene he carefully planned turned out to be so interesting to Leng Xing, the Duke couldn't help but smile: "Okay. The next thing is..."

The so-called "disappearance without reason" should be said to be the Duke's deliberate action, but the movement of Proseus was beyond her imagination.

She did expect that Proseus would not be in the military headquarters for a long time, and if she disappeared, the group would be leaderless, and the official documents would need to be approved step by step, which would indeed stop the military machinery from functioning, but she did not expect it to be so serious.Proseus would go into a rage over such a thing and destroy the military headquarters to such an extent that he did not have the calm style of a politician at all.

Not to mention that he yelled at the group of staff and guards, completely lacking in the elegant and calm demeanor of the blood nobles.

The elders were even more dissatisfied with Proseus when they heard about this incident. Originally, the ineffective execution of orders by the military department had accumulated a lot of their grievances, and the destruction of the military department’s property added fuel to the flames—obviously, the elders would spend special manpower on this Financial resources are used to repair the military buildings.Under Proseus' venting, not only the Duke's desk was overturned, the documents were destroyed, but also several pillars were turned into powder or fragments, which directly led to the tragic collapse of the underground military ceiling without support. condition.For a long period of time starting from January 1th, the Vatican Military Headquarters was in a state of no workplace, and had to use part of the building of the Presbyterian Church as a workplace.

"Then you have nowhere to go?" Leng Xing finally stopped laughing and propped his hands against the wall.

"Yes, you can take me in."

In fact, the Duke has many places to go, such as the company's luxurious office, her own castle, and her many properties... She just wanted to tease Leng Xing.

"No! You abandoned me for two days!"

"Then I have to sleep on the street?" The Duke gave Leng Xing a pitiful look.

"Okay, okay, I'll just take you in." Knowing that she was joking, Leng Xing stopped pretending to be angry, "You said that he doesn't have the calm style of a politician at all, so what would you do if it were you?"

"If I were him, it would be right to go to the person in charge, but shouldn't he go to my subordinates first? Maybe they know where I am."

It's just that it's useless even if he asks, because I have already thought of it.

The Duke added silently in his heart.

Since you want to play missing, why not play bigger?She learned from Auston, but she learned it well, and the whole world disappeared without a trace.

"Secondly, even if you are looking for someone, there is no need to lose your temper. Not to mention scaring the staff away, the entire building was destroyed by him... I can't bear to look at it. After I heard it, I didn't believe it was him. "

"Everyone, there are always a few days in a month. Aunt Emotion... The blood race is no exception." Leng Xing was very understanding, but he had a malicious smile on his face.

"But it's too inexplicable to get angry at everyone, can't he even tell the target? Also, what's the use of just getting angry and destroying? The elders are very dissatisfied with the ineffective implementation of the military department's orders. If I were him It must be remedied first, and the important documents must be quickly picked out for approval and implemented instead of doing nothing.”

As soon as the Duke mentioned that the elders would be dissatisfied with the ineffective execution of orders by the military department, Leng Xing suddenly became worried: "Then you are...does this count as dereliction of duty? Will something happen?"

"Forget it, but it won't."

The duke's dereliction of duty... It's really hard to imagine, but after all, there are more important things to do right now, and that is - unite all available contacts, life-saving is the most important thing!

Therefore, compared with the life-threatening coup plot, the consequences of missing a few documents are really nothing.Besides, Proseus would be too busy to take care of himself in the face of the collective attack of the Presbyterian Church, so he would have no time to take care of her affairs.

It's just that the Duke didn't expect that Proseus would really free up his hand to "clean up" her later, but luckily she was already prepared.

The author has something to say:

chapter44 exam week (middle)

Preparing for a rainy day is the Duke's biggest characteristic, but at the same time it also makes her stressed.

"No? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Leng Xing looked at her suspiciously, as if he wanted to find some clues from those sapphire eyes.

"Don't think about it, what did I lie to you for?"

Apart from the earliest information about his identity, the Duke did not tell a single lie to Leng Xing.Yes, she just concealed a lot of things that she didn't want Leng Xing to know, such as... her past, her real situation.

What she said was just the tip of the iceberg.

Similarly, Leng Xing never told the Duke about his past, that's because——

She didn't want to think about it at all.

That nightmarish memory.

She would rather take the exam for a month, and don't want to go through it again, even if it's just a memory.

"But……"

"Leng Xing, if you have fantasies about these things, why don't you prepare for the exam well. There is nothing in the world, and nothing is bothering you. If I say nothing will happen, I won't."

One of the great characteristics of the Duke is that he is very bad at expressing his feelings. He obviously hopes that the other party will stop worrying about him, but when he speaks out, it is like a parent educating a child.

Now Leng Xing quit, turned his head and walked towards the study room, never looking at the Duke again.

The Duke knew that Leng Xing was stimulated, so he didn't say anything else, and followed her silently as a transparent person.

Holding the pen, Leng Xing drew back and forth on the paper, but couldn't calm down.

How could she be "a mediocre person"?She has never been a person who will suffer and hate deeply when nothing happens. Even if so many things happened to her that ordinary people can't bear, she just feels bad for a while and complains about it.

How could she think so much?It wasn't the Duke's murder!

Thinking of this, Leng Xing became even more angry.I haven't lost my temper with you yet, but you are kind enough to treat me like a donkey!

She had been in a highly tense state for the past few days, but now the string was too tight - it broke.

Leng Xing closed his pen fiercely as if venting his anger, and stuffed the books into the bag one by one. They were so messy that he didn't even look at them. How could he have the usual perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder?

The Duke couldn't stand it anymore, she pressed Leng Xing's hand, took out the messy books one by one and put them in the bag gently.

Then, she picked up Leng Xing's bag and quietly walked out of the study room.Leng Xing just let her tidy up and didn't speak or stop her.

"Go home?"

The two walked one after the other, Leng Xing turned his head angrily.

"Hmm..." She shook her head, her tone rising.

"Going back to the dormitory?"
