[Blood] Shura's Castle

Go crazy.

"But... I don't know that you did it..." The Duke looked at her pitifully, with water in his eyes.The fearsome female devil on the battlefield turned into a weak sister Lin in an instant, and Leng Xing almost fell to the ground without being startled.

"You...you..." If the Duke had a cold face, Leng Xing would not be so helpless.But the problem is that she looks like a small animal that needs to be comforted. Leng Xing suddenly felt that the Duke had really grasped her weakness.

"Forget it, don't look at me like that again." She turned her back, fearing that the Duke would look at her for a few more seconds and she would soften her heart, "It's really too much of you!"

"Are you referring to the cake?" The Duke refused to give up.She leaned in front of her again, took her leftover cake, and stuck out her tongue to lick the cream.

"Oh my god...don't do this...my eyes are going to be blinded by you..."

She, her, her movements are so fairy-like, I can't resist them at all!

"Okay." Seeing that the goal was achieved, the Duke accepted it as soon as it was good.Putting down the cake, she happily nestled into the chair, "Come on, baby~" She waved to Leng Xing, and fired at her lover by the way.

"No...I want to say, just imagine, if I couldn't find you for five days for no reason, and made you wait in the office for a whole day before showing up, how would you feel?" She saw the duke hesitated to speak. Look, motioning her not to interrupt herself, "Don't tell me, I won't find you, this kind of thing won't happen... Just imagine it and you'll understand."

"But haven't you already been punished..." The Duke looked at her aggrievedly.

"If it were me and you were worried for five days, do you think you would simply press me on the carpet?"

Leng Xing knew the Duke's character too well.To put it bluntly, she only allowed state officials to set fires, but not the common people to light lamps.She will allow you to make trouble, and she will also allow you to vent, but you must let it go as soon as it is good.As for herself... Hehe, when she is in a bad mood, she will turn into an iceberg and freeze you to death!

However, Leng Xing didn't realize that even if the Duke really turned into an iceberg, he would still take the initiative to seek peace in the end.

The same calm tone, but more powerful.Leng Xing knew that it would be of no use if he cried, quarreled, and hanged himself with the Duke, after all, as the Duke said, "Baby, I'm not very emotional."

Besides, even if it worked, she wouldn't use it.Even deep love must have dignity, she will never make herself extremely humble and low in the dust just because she falls in love, no matter how good the other party is.

Even if the duke is both talented and beautiful, and has a high status and a lot of gold, she will not feel unequal because of this.All men are created equal is her eternal creed.

"Hahaha...it's not that simple." The Duke hugged her from behind, "I apologize to you for ignoring you for so many days."

"Okay, now I'll tell you why I was so angry just now. If emotions accumulate to a certain extent, they will explode. If you change it, you can't forgive me so easily. What's more... it's not the first time for you? I I know the reason, but... no matter how much I comfort myself, the feeling of loss in my heart will not change. No matter how calm and rational I am, I am only a 17-year-old girl, and you are my first love, so I cannot be like those People in the game world are just as indifferent, I can try my best to convince myself not to think about you, or I can pretend to be calm, but..." She turned her face, held the beautiful face in front of her, looked into those deep eyes and said seriously , "I can't control my emotions, and I can't lie to my heart.

"So you can imagine that it was like that. I was already quite angry, but I found out that you took away my sleep time...You know, I haven't been able to sleep well for several days, and before the exam Go to work. If it were you, you would feel very upset, right?"

"That's true, but I don't know."

"If you know and do it like this, then I will definitely beat you up!" She put on an angry expression, "That's why I calmed down after being angry for a while, and it's not your fault, you also have Your helplessness. But you really left your phone here... Didn't you think of it?"

She buried her face in the Duke's neck, breathing lowly.

"Just, I want to know, what happened these days?"

The duke didn't answer right away.

In the dark, sapphire blue eyes gleamed.

"Do you really want to know?"

Her voice sounded like a helpless sigh.

"Yes."

"What if I'm not as perfect as you imagined, and even do a lot of things that may seem despicable to you?"

Her voice was as soft as a wisp of wind.

"What I want to know is all of you, not just the gentle and considerate you in front of me."

Although the Duke is indeed cold often, compared to her own character, it can be said to be a miracle for Leng Xing.

I wasn't very emotional in the first place.

In fact, it should be said that it is ruthless at all.Since she lost all the important people in her life, she has become the complete and cruel Duke of Rose.

"Ok."

Seeing Leng Xing's resolute expression, she compromised.

She told her lover in her arms all the things that happened in the past few days, including how she used Mars, how she deceived Proseus, how she tricked the elders... Although her brain power consumption is by no means small, and, and Auston thing.

"It's scary, isn't it? In order to achieve your own goals, use other people as guns?"

The Duke didn't look at her, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"You have to."

"What if I have another choice?"

"Are you trying to make me hate you? Since I said that you are forced to, it means that I believe in you and believe that everything you do will never be completely dark. If Mars is really killed by you If you use it, it can only prove that he does have an ulterior secret, because he is not afraid of the shadow, so there is no need for him to be coerced."

"You also said it was coercion."

"In your heart, is it really that important?" Leng Xing clenched her hands stiffly until her knuckles turned white, and she didn't even realize it, "Knowing what kind of person I am, I would rather choose death than choose These methods, but... you are my lover, how do you want me to choose!"

Leng Xing couldn't restrain himself again.Perhaps, no matter how calm she is, as she said, she is just a 17-year-old girl, and in front of her is her first love.

In her heart, your life is more important than her own, and that is enough.

"I care about what you think, Leng Xing." She looked up at the pitch-black ceiling, "You know, my hands are stained with blood, I have killed countless people, no matter how I try to hide it, it is impossible to wash away the 'coldness' and 'tyranny' in me , 'terrible' reputation. Vanjo regards me as an honor, but I know very well what I am like in the eyes of other families.

"I am Medusa, a beautiful but ruthless female devil. This is the image of me in the eyes of other blood races."

She let go of Leng Xing's hand and stroked her hair.

"However, I don't care about these! I don't need to explain what I have done to others. War is cruel. Without the Duke of Rose, there will be other people standing in my seat. They... just because they are more powerful than me. Weak."

This is the arrogance that belongs to a pure-blood noble, and this is the arrogance that belongs to a member of the ruler, the duke.

What I did, I don't need to explain to you.I bear the infamy, just for my ideal, for my purpose.No matter what method is used, as long as the result can be obtained is enough.

End the war with my hands, no matter how deep the crime is committed, no matter how bloody the method is used, I don't care.

"But I care what you think, even if I'm really a devil."

"No matter what you do, you will always be my love."

Leng Xing's voice was unshakable and firm.

"But even if you are my lover, it still can't change everything you have done, which is hard for me to accept in my heart."

She broke free from the Duke's arms, stood on the carpet a few meters away, and stared at her steadily.The Duke also looked at her, and found that the eyes that were always dark like a dark tunnel were more dazzling than any place where the light converged.

"So, don't give me another choice. You know how hard it is for me.

"If I don't like it to that extent, there is no doubt about my choice of principles. But, even if I like it, if my principles can be shaken so easily, such a me is not worthy of your liking."

Because in the face of death and depravity, she would rather choose death.

But she hesitated for the sake of the Duke, the multiple-choice question of faith and love.

But in her heart, there are still many things more important than love, such as her beliefs, world peace, and the absolutely insurmountable moral bottom line in her heart.

"So, I hope that I will never face such a choice. I am a coward, and it will be very embarrassing. I don't have your firm will, and I can go on without wavering.

"So, I would like to light a candle for you, wish you happiness, and pray for you."

The author has something to say:

chapter52 candle flame (medium)

long silence.

In the darkness, only Leng Xing's light breathing could be heard.The Duke didn't say a word, his eyes turned to the grotesque world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.At night when the lights are on in the city, vehicles are constantly flowing, and the roads extending in all directions are like ice cream on a cone spinning, so the orange halo of the street lights merges into a meandering river that surrounds the road and rushes to the city after work. Ordinary office workers at home also cover the dim starlight in the sky.

Although the stars are more radiant than street lamps, they are too far away and become blurred white spots.

The two worlds are completely different from the flashy and extravagant outside the window. The glowing lights make the office on the 72nd floor dark. Only wisps of warm yellow light squeeze into the window, jumping on the soft white carpet, like elves Dance, bringing the only warmth in the deep winter night.

Leng Xing pursed her lips after finishing a long series of prose-like confessions. After all, this was the best choice for her who was always used to avoiding it.

The tall and thin figure of the Duke was covered with a faint halo, and Leng Xing only saw her dark back and the light around her.

It's like a god descending from the sky.She couldn't help but feel such absurdity.

She doesn't need to breathe or heartbeat, she is as silent as the snow on the Himalayas, not only quiet, but also exudes a cold breath.

However, she was trembling, with her back to Leng Xing, trembling with her arms holding her.

Leng Xing's heart was beating thumpingly, and she was seized by a panic she had never experienced before. Was she angry?Because of her remarks that seem to be full of emotion, but actually evade choices.

An unprecedentedly fast heartbeat hit her chest like a war drum.Leng Xing, who has always had extremely poor physical strength, hardly does any strenuous exercise, perhaps PE class is the only exception.Under such circumstances, it was not easy to make her heartbeat soar rapidly, but the vampire in front of him who neither breathed nor had a heartbeat did it.

Just as she walked forward slowly and wanted to say something more, the figure by the window turned around and said, "Okay."

What more could one wish for?A person who can choose death without hesitation in the face of death and depravity, a person who can clearly think of the darkness of human nature but is unwilling to take action, hesitates when choosing between her and principles, shouldn't she be lucky? ?

The most lacking thing in this colorful world is such pure and fragile starlight.

Perhaps only in complete darkness can you appreciate the beauty of the starry sky.Too much vanity will fascinate people's hearts and confuse people's eyes. However, although the glitz is dazzling, it will eventually get tired of looking at it.Starlight is easy to be covered, but it makes people nostalgic.

As she said, if her principles can be shaken so easily just because she likes her, then she is not worthy of liking.

After all, it is a paradox, just like this world.

"Although the neon lights are shining and the lanterns are beautiful, the starry sky is the most beautiful."

The Duke snapped his fingers as usual, his movements were elegant, but his expression was casual.In an instant, the room was brightly lit.

There was a slight smile on her pale face, and all the light gathered in her eyes.Unlike Leng Xing's eyes that were as dark as a black hole, her eyes were full of light, just like her mother.

"Huh, I thought..."

"Why?"

"It's nothing." Leng Xing cut off his words, covering up the guesses and imaginations that kept rushing into his mind, "Let's go, I was going to make a cake for you to eat."

"originally?"

"Oh, I was so excited after the exam that I forgot it. I just saw the cake and remembered it again." She explained, "I finally passed the exam!"

The oppressive atmosphere was swept away, Leng Xing jumped three feet high excitedly, the Duke looked at her with a smile: "Are you so happy?"

"Of course!" She hugged the Duke, picked her up and twirled her around, "The evil exam is finally over! Wow, I'm free! I'm free!"

Although the Duke is tall, his weight is quite light.

"Let's go~ go make cakes."

At the height of the 72nd floor, the elevator descended at an extremely fast speed, and the light and shadow passed by into blurred and receding lines, but Leng Xing was no longer afraid.She thought of what she had seen, about people traveling to the Dead Sea and lying on the water reading and even sleeping.How wonderful, she thought, that she could sleep with her eyes closed and let the current wrap herself gently, like a drifting ship returning to the harbour.Now she has a similar feeling, except that what surrounds her is not the extremely salty Dead Sea lake, but the warm embrace of the Duke with spiritual power.

Instead of using teleportation, he chose to drive. The Duke inserted the sapphire key that was so luxurious that it could be said to be a waste into the keyhole, and started the ignition.Accompanied by the roaring sound of the 6.0LV12 engine, the car rushed out of the exclusive parking space.The low, smooth, plump and heavy lower body is very beautiful, and every line is extremely exquisite, which makes Leng Xing deeply feel that this car is not like an industrial product made by human beings, but rather like an ancient European with elegance and culture. Inherent historical relics.She suddenly understood why the Duke prefers this brand, because Aston Martin insists on old technology, whether it is the naturally aspirated engine cylinder or the instrument panel designed with pointers, it is not the result of a super sports car with a dual supercharged engine and a digital instrument panel. The general configuration is very similar to the conservative and stubborn old gentleman in the UK. He disdains the pursuit of the speed limit of the industry and ignores the elegant connotation. He would rather sacrifice the speed to implement the low-key and luxurious style to the end. [1]

The Duke, who has lived in the Middle Ages to the present, even if it is trendy, the life of an old British gentleman has already imprinted on her, so she will feel bored surfing the Internet, and will hold the most high-end smartphone but only use the most basic functions.

The seats made of top-quality cowhide are flawless. In order to make every piece of cowhide flawless, the exclusive farm of this car company does not even have barbed wire.Leng Xing nestled into the seat and looked at the river of light dancing around, as if the stars had moved and time had flown back. She had returned to the life of a young lady many years ago, enjoying the wealth and services that ordinary people had no chance of. [2]

Seeing that Leng Xing was shivering from the cold after coming out, the Duke raised the roof as soon as he started the car.She turned on the air conditioner to the maximum without any distress, and manipulated the steering wheel with ease. For the Duke, whose control is extremely precise and his senses are many times sharper than that of humans, even if the speed of the car reaches hundreds of yards, the operation is still handy.It's just that Leng Xing had just come down from the sky, and she hadn't recovered for a while, so she gave up the idea of ​​drag racing.

"You just said you made the cake?"

"Otherwise? Oh..." She suddenly realized, "Do you think I'm just a waiter serving tea and water in a cake shop?"

The Duke looked away in embarrassment, pretending to concentrate on driving.

"Although I advocate equality for all, and there is no distinction between high and low professions, I will definitely not be a waiter."

"Because of your eldest lady's temper that has settled deep in your soul." The Duke lukewarmly exposed her heart.

"You saw through it... Not only that, but I also think that being a waiter doesn't have much technical content, and the pastry chef is different, you can create whatever you want~"

"It turns out that she not only has the temper of the young lady, but also has an extreme sense of superiority." The Duke said in an almost robot-like voice, "However, it's the same as me."

"Have you seen it earlier? Just because you threw that expensive shirt inlaid with amethyst buttons at my house that day, just because it was 'too dirty', I deeply understood your essence."

"Things that have been destroyed, no matter how beautiful they are, there is no need to keep them." She turned the steering wheel lightly to make the car turn a big corner, "Besides, the shirt has been cut to pieces."

"I hung it in my closet anyway because of the amethyst on it."

"I would have thought you had a crush on me." The Duke's smile was like a poppy, evil and seductive.

"Is it Ming Lian? You really can't do two things at once, you'd better drive hard and just listen to me." Leng Xing knocked her.

"Like you, I love cake."

"Well... how did you find out, I haven't eaten it a few times."

"Huh, if you don't like it to the extreme, how about letting the poor pastry chef get up early in the morning and make cakes before the exam? Actually, you came to enjoy the food that day, but unfortunately I was attacked and almost found you identity of."

"Well, that's right."

"My parents spoiled me very much when I was very young, so it is conceivable that I have eaten countless kinds of pastries and desserts. At first, I just enjoyed the pleasure of taste, and then I was very curious about the production process, and then... I often watched them How do pastry chefs make pastries, and sometimes they will help."

"Well, then what?"

"In the end, I was no longer satisfied with just helping out, so I pestered my parents to ask them to ask a special master to teach me these things. Although they are busy with work and often don't go home for a long time, they are not like many other parents who want their children to inherit. Family business, so they are not allowed to learn this kind of 'miscellaneous things'. They are more relaxed in my education except etiquette. I can learn whatever I want. But..." Leng Xing smiled wryly, "It may be I feel guilty because I rarely accompany me. In short, first-class masters came to teach me how to make this kind of pastry, of course, in their spare time, so they would not allow me to delay my studies. And I am also a relatively unconstrained person, so I will There are a lot of new ideas, so... I worked out a lot of unique recipes."

"So you're actually a very professional pastry chef?"

"It's okay, I just like to eat, so I developed to like to cook. Because of the 'unique formula', I can only work part-time and often don't go there, but I won't be fired by the boss~" She said with a smile, "Otherwise I will be alone How can He De, a minor, let the boss be so tolerant? But he is really nice, but a 'big client' like you should be very important, otherwise he wouldn't have called me out so early."

That is, said the duke silently.When she is in a good mood, eating dessert is more exaggerated than eating.

"You can also mix drinks."

"Well, that's right. The family's previous business was also related to wine. In addition, I went out to play and saw a fancy bartending performance. I felt really cool, so I also pestered my parents to learn bartending again. Yes. It’s just that although I am particularly looking forward to fancy bartending, I am still good at English bartending, because I don’t have so much time to practice bottle tossing. It’s not that I don’t have talent~”

"Talent? Aren't you uncoordinated and wrestling when you walk?" The Duke looked at her with a smile on his face, frightened.

"That was an accident!" Apparently the vampire poked Leng Xing's sore spot, she really didn't want to say anything, but when she spoke amazingly, Leng Xing wanted to hit her, but he gave up for his own safety.

"I just accidentally stepped on my shoelaces, so it doesn't mean my limbs are stiff! I remember that roller skating time, it seems that you have a problem with your movements and keep falling on me?"

The Duke had a deflated expression on his face, and Leng Xing fought back quite successfully.

"Uh...you go on..."

"So, this is another example of developing interests into skills~ Anyway, I can do very well in the things I am interested in. If I am not interested or have no talent, I will become more and more frustrated and then I will be very poor. Physics in high school was about the same, and there were drawing and so on... But you...you can draw so well, and it’s more real than photos!"

"You are self-taught~" the Duke smiled triumphantly.

The car roared towards the cake shop in the distance, and all the passing pedestrians and vehicles stopped in amazement at the dazzling blue sports car and the peerless beauty driving it. [1]

The author has something to say: Note:

Chapter 53 Candle Flame (Part [-])

In a small cake shop.

The gentle halo is warm. In the dark winter night, the beating orange halo is like a lighthouse on the sea, giving people warmth and hope.Although the store is not very big, the interior decoration is elegant and classical. It doesn't look like it is opened in the center of a developed city, but like a century-old store on the streets of a small western town.

It was close to eight o'clock, when the boss was about to close, and the boss couldn't help being surprised when he saw two people coming in one after the other.

"Boss~ I'm here~"

Leng Xing greeted the young man with a smile, and then continued: "This is my friend~ I'll make a cake for her, today is her birthday."

The most important customers are not only VIPs, but also the girl from "TMIP" who followed behind his ace pastry chef with a contented expression, showing a charming smile. [1]

Leng Xing took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and after washing his hands, he beat the eggs smoothly, separated the egg yolk from the egg white, added sugar and flour to the egg yolk, and stirred... he was so proficient that he hummed a little song while doing it, looking very relaxed .

The duke stared intently at the key, forgetting to put it in his pocket.

"I suddenly remembered that I once watched a TV series. I can't remember the name clearly, but I remember the general plot."

Ten minutes later, Leng Xing took out the freshly baked cake and used a spatula to modify the surface to make it rounder and more beautiful.

"Ah."

Only then did the Duke remember to put the car keys in his pocket, and stand behind her to watch how she miraculously mixed a series of raw materials such as milk, eggs, flour and jam into his favorite cake.

"The protagonist of the TV series is a person who likes desserts very much. There is a girl who likes him and wants to make him the sweetest and sweetest cake. The girl studied very, very hard and finally made the sweetest cake. When the girl put When the cake was given to him, he ate it and was very happy. But later, his friend told the girl that the protagonist had a strange disease, the sweeter the food, the more bitter it tasted. So..."

Leng Xing paused.

"The sweetest cake has become the bitterest '□□' for him." Leng Xing stopped his hands, and when he said the word "□□", he put double quotation marks in the air with his fingers, "You Say, is this luck or misfortune for the protagonist?"

The Duke was in deep thought, standing behind Leng Xing with his arms folded.

"If you say lucky, the sweetest heart becomes the bitterest '□□', but you still eat it, showing a very happy look; if you say it is unfortunate, there is such a person who can work hard for his wish ..." she said to herself.

"Isn't there a saying in China that goes, 'When misfortune comes, good fortune rests on it, and when good fortune comes, misfortune rests on it'? Good and bad things are often intertwined."

The Duke thought for a while and replied.

"That... don't call it a sentence, it's from "Lao Tzu"..." Leng Xing continued to move his hands, "But now I only think that sweet things can turn bitter because of a problem with taste , that means the taste buds are abnormal. The taste buds on the tip of the tongue mainly sense sweet and salty tastes, and the contour nipples/heads in front of the boundary groove mainly feel bitter tastes. The front 2/3 taste buds of the tongue are distributed around the neuron cell body of the facial nerve in charge of special visceral sensation , which is located in the knee ganglion, the center of which enters the brain and ends at the nucleus of the solitary tract or something...”[2]

"Honey, can you say something that I can understand?" The usually calm Duke had a depressed expression on his face.

If the Duke had watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and the famous "Zhen Huan Body" all over the world, he probably couldn't help but say something to Leng Xing——

speak English!

Her confusion is like in the third episode of "Monday Morning", listening to the neurosurgery's terse language, so that she completely ignores grammar to the point where she can say "Notdo, dead" with an iceberg-like face about "departure" Lateral craniotomy" and other technical terms that are impossible for doctors and medical students to understand. The wife of the stroke man looked at the tall and strong black traumatologist next to him with a bewildered expression and an expression that was about to cry. Asked: "Whatishetalkingabout?"[3]

Such technical terms will instantly divide people into "different planets" and "different thinking bands".If the Duke told Leng Xing a lot of things like "K-line chart" and "Rock Theory", Leng Xing would probably say to her, "Honey, can you say something that I can understand? ", or, shout out a sentence directly——[4]

"speak English!"

After all, she has watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and knows "Zhen Huan's style".

"It's my fault, it's my fault." Leng Xing raised his hand in surrender, "I'm sorry, you know, my classmates and I are... There is absolutely no obstacle for us to communicate like this."

"I understand, but if I whispered a lot of financial jargon in your ear, you wouldn't understand. Well, what did you mean by that paragraph?"

"He has a problem with his sense of taste, so there may be a problem with the nerves in charge of taste buds, that's all." Leng Xing spread his hands.

"It sounds more normal now."

Cold and smooth, the surface of the cake was smoothed with whipped fresh milk, and the white chocolate was gently scraped to spread them evenly on the cake.After embellishing the cherries and making flowers, she used red jam to write a string of beautiful flowers "Happy Birthday" in the blank space.After that, she looked at her work with satisfaction: "Wow, perfect~"

"Honey, I was wondering why you used dark chocolate for the inside but white chocolate for the outside?"

Isn't the "Black Forest Cake" sprinkled with chocolate usually black on the outside and white on the inside?

Leng Xing turned his head and saw the duke with a thoughtful face.

Because you are a slut!

It's a big mensao with black suspenders in a white shirt!

This was the first answer that popped up in Leng Xing's mind instantly.

But she turned her head calmly to avoid meeting the Duke's gaze (because the Duke's mind reading skills need to look directly at the other person), and then replied with a smile: "Because it's for you~Of course it's unique~"

"Yeah." The Duke nodded with satisfaction.Leng Xing turned around, put the cake into a box and wrapped it with a ribbon, laughing secretly, his shoulders trembling.

"Honey, why do you look so weird?"

Looking at Leng Xing's strange movements, the Duke was puzzled.

"I'm just...so happy...wahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Asked by the Duke, Leng Xing couldn't hold back any longer, and sat down on the ground laughing.The Duke stepped forward and tried to pull her up, but Leng Xing seemed to be electrified, laughing and twitching non-stop.

After the Duke carried the cake and helped Leng Xing into the car, Leng Xing was still smiling.

Of course, when the Duke was about to pay the bill, Leng Xing pinched himself a few times to temporarily stop his laughter, then resolutely stopped her, and said to the boss: "Boss, just deduct the money for the cake from my salary." .”

"It's your friend's birthday today, and you did it yourself, so I gave it to you." The boss smiled, "Let's take it as my compensation for letting you work before the exam."

"Then thank you, boss ~ goodbye ~"

In view of the pain of being ruined, Leng Xing readily accepted the "compensation".

"Honey, I don't know what you're laughing at."

The Duke turned on the ignition in the key □□ keyhole, with an extremely helpless expression on his face.

"Hahahahahaha...it's nothing...hahaha...I want to give you a cake, why do you have to pay the bill?"

"Habit is second nature."

"Hahahahahaha..." Leng Xing stroked her face, "You are so cute."

She remembered the duke's question about "black and white chocolate" again.

Who let her have black suspenders in her white shirt, and she was discovered by herself?

"Cute?" The Duke raised an eyebrow, as if Leng Xing described her as a lizard.

"Well, cute." Leng Xing tried hard to hold back his laughter, "By the way, what gift do you want?"

"Isn't this one?"

The Duke pointed to the rear compartment, meaning that there is cake.

"This is too simple... No, think of one."

"There's nothing I want."

The Duke's tone was indifferent.To be honest, she has no concept of "birthday" at all, and besides, she can hardly remember her own age, so what's the point of birthday?

"Hmm... I really don't know what to give you..." Leng Xing thought hard, as if he was facing a very complicated advanced math problem, "If it's all kinds of decorative gadgets, it doesn't feel like your style. If you send books...you don't seem to be short of books. Food and other things are too cheap, and if it's jewelry..."She can't afford it...

"I don't wear jewelry, please."

"what?"

"I'm not interested in those things." The Duke seemed to be talking about something boring.

In heaven, she was tired of looking at all kinds of jewelry and so on, as early as several centuries ago in European courts or other celebrity banquets, she had reached the point of aesthetic fatigue.In addition... she is so minimalist, she even puts her clothes on directly on her body, at most a belt, how can she get so many "jingling" things on her body, isn't she tired?

"Which woman is not interested in jewelry..."

Even for a person like Leng Xing who is also afraid of trouble, every time he walks to the counter of all kinds of jewelry, diamonds, gold and silver jewelry, he will linger for a while, of course, just to appreciate it.

"Baby." The Duke drove the car into the underground garage, backed it steadily into the parking space and pulled out the key. "My only jewelry is a ring, and it is now on your middle finger. Those gold and silver jewelry are very important to me. It doesn't make any sense, if you want, I can buy you a house for you. I only like unique things."

"This car is not unique."

"So I'll send you off." The Duke threw the key into Leng Xing's hand. "It's not like there's nothing I want, but..."

"but what?"

Leng Xing and the Duke opened the door at the same time, got out of the car and walked side by side towards the outside of the underground garage.

"However, you haven't given me the gift I asked for last time." She lightly scratched Leng Xing's nose, "Name."

"I've thought about it, I thought about it a few days ago. It's a pity that someone is missing, and I didn't have time to say it." There was a smile on the corner of Leng Xing's lips that could be described by the word "poor". She shrugged, He looked at the Duke with half-smile eyes.

"You little brat..." The Duke pecked her lips lightly, "Speak."
