LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 27 - The mist of the manor (twenty-seven)
Cesar had already put away his violent expression at this time, and when he heard Ye He’s words, a bit of doubt appeared in his eyes at the right time.
Ye He has already broken through the other party’s secret of pretending to be blind, so he knows that Cesar in front of him has started to perform, he just needs to cooperate obediently: “I think the people in the portrait are somewhat similar to me.”
Apart from trying to fool Cesar, Ye He was really curious about these portraits and how he imagined them. If it weren’t for the fact that the clothes of the people on these portraits were completely different from what he was wearing, Ye He even suspected that Cesar had a crush on him and asked someone to paint them.
Moreover, Ye He suspected that Cesar asked the housekeeper to find him because of the similar portrait. After changing his perspective, Ye He felt that Cesar was also daring, and he was not at all afraid that he might be a ghost who had lived for a hundred years. Before he fainted, he was already frightened and trembling.
The system naturally heard Ye He’s heartbeat, and felt that the other party didn’t need to have this idea: [Wait, secret crush? 】
[According to your reasoning, isn’t Cesar able to see people? How can I like you? 】
Ye He: “……”
He sneered and refused to continue discussing this topic with the system.
Hearing Ye He’s words, Cesar said unhurriedly: “These are the portraits left by the Duke, how can they be the same as you?”
Portraits from the Duke period? Don’t the people above have lived to be at least a hundred years old?
Ye He was stunned, and his heart suddenly became cold. Although he had guessed that this was the portrait he carried up from the basement, he still held a faint hope, but now this hope has also been cruelly broken by Cesar’s words just now.
Ye He asked the system with a serious face: “What did you guess the reason for?”
The system doesn’t know what Ye He wants to do, but it still answers truthfully: [I said you have a public face. 】
Ye He looked at Cesar and said seriously: “Then I think it must be a coincidence, after all, I am the face of the public.”
Before, he felt that the system’s guess was outrageous, but now he had to admit that the other party’s explanation was the most scientific and the answer that gave him the most security.
He could have the same face as the person in the portrait, and he met here again, and in the end he could only blame it on one word – it was fate.
When Duke Cesar heard Ye He’s words, his thin lips were upturned, and his smile was a little more real. He thought that the character of the other party was still the same as before, and he would always come up with some new words that made him feel.
After asking why Ye He didn’t look at him out of anger, Cesar knew that he had exposed the fact that his eyes could already see. And the momentary stiffness on the other side’s face also made Cesar understand that Ye He, who was in front of him, already knew that he was not blind. He originally thought that Ye He would bluntly expose it, but he didn’t expect the other side to act as if nothing happened. The same never happened.
Duke Cesar didn’t know what Ye He was doing so he continued to pretend he didn’t know, but seeing that the other party still looked like he didn’t know anything, Duke Cesar decided to continue the performance with him.
He wanted to see how long Ye He would be able to perform, and if there was any reason why he didn’t want to recognize him.
Ye He didn’t know that Cesar had already seen through his disguise. He didn’t wait for the other party’s answer, and finally couldn’t help but look up at Cesar.
Seeing the rippling smile on Cesar’s face, Ye He was stunned. It has to be said that Cesar looked really good when he smiled sincerely, and his handsome face was shining brightly. He was suddenly a little curious about what Cesar was thinking when he showed this smile.
The system sensed a hint of danger: [Aren’t you a straight man? 】
Ye He: “What’s the relationship between being a straight man and having eyes that are good at discovering beauty?”
The system was defeated by Ye He’s logic.
After seeing these portraits similar to himself, Ye He really wanted to complete the task quickly and slip away. After all, his animal-like intuition told him that this room was very strange.
Thinking of his task, Ye He glanced at the notebook on the table tiredly. If Cesar couldn’t see it, it would be easier for him to take the notebook, but the problem is that the other party can see it, and if he shoots again, he will rush to surrender.
Ye He glanced at the notebook on the table and then at Cesar in front of him, suddenly having an idea. He took a deep breath, and then summoned the courage to look at Cesar: “Master, I heard from the butler that you want to read the Duke’s notebook, do you want to understand him? Your eyes are not convenient, let me read it for you. .”
Since Cesar is still pretending to be blind in front of him, why doesn’t he take advantage of this?
When Duke Cesar heard Ye He’s words, a bit of interest flashed in his eyes, obviously he didn’t expect the other party to take the initiative to look at the notebook. He was the author of this notebook, and of course he knew what was written on it.
In the past, Duke Cesar also had the idea of letting Rivel read his notebook, but at that time Riville had a grudge against him because of Freya’s death, and was very resistant to everything about him, and this matter naturally happened. was shelved.
After Revere disappeared, Duke Cesar even put his thoughts on the notebook, and every word and sentence on it was stained with Duke Cesar’s deep thoughts.
Unexpectedly, today, a hundred years later, Ye He took the initiative to bring it up.
Cesar nodded and gestured gracefully: “Of course you can.”
Or rather, he didn’t want it.
Regardless of whether Ye He at this time had already made up his mind and wanted to use this method to prove that he had completely lost his memory, Cesar had to admit that the other party’s move really pleased him.
Ye He was also very happy, he didn’t expect his plan to go too smoothly. With Cesar’s permission, Ye He went to the table and picked up the notebook. The moment his fingertips touched the notebook, he remembered something and moved.
The system instantly understood the reason for Ye He’s pause, and explained: [Don’t worry, after I recycle it, I will instantly re-engrave a new notebook, so Cesar won’t find it. 】
Hearing the system’s words, Ye He breathed a sigh of relief and touched the notebook on the desktop with confidence.
Duke Cesar was already sitting on the chair beside him, Ye He turned his back to him, and instructed the system to re-enact it quickly. Sure enough, as the system said, a second after the notebook disappeared, a new black notebook appeared on the desktop, which was completely indistinguishable from the previous one.
And Ye He’s ears also sounded the cold mechanical sound of the system: [Congratulations to the host for completing the extra mission, successfully recovering Cesar’s notebook, and obtaining a 24-hour lifespan. 】
Hearing that he had an extra 24 hours of life, Ye He instantly felt relieved: “It feels good to have a life.”
He picked up the notebook and, following Cesar’s instructions, turned around and walked to the other side. Looking at Cesar who was listening intently, Ye He somehow felt as if he was going to tell a bedtime story to a child.
He couldn’t help but sighed that Cesar was really good at acting. The other party had already seen this notebook, but he was still able to pretend to be so expectant. Compared with Cesar, his acting skills really need to continue to improve.
The system felt that Ye He no longer needed to improve his acting skills, but should improve his speaking art.
Ye He opened the notebook in front of him and decided to read a few pages to fool himself: “On xx, xx, 19xx, after obtaining the status of heir, he and I lived in a secluded manor. Watching the people coming and going in the manor Servant, an idea suddenly occurred to me: it would be nice if it were just me and him.”
Ye He couldn’t help sighing in his heart and the system: “If there are only two people, who will clean up?”
System: [You. 】
Ye He: “???”
The system replied ruthlessly: [Because you are most concerned about this matter, who will clean if you don’t clean? 】
Ye He turned the page angrily and continued to read: “On xx, xx, 19xx, he obviously likes it very much and often runs out, which makes me a little unhappy. Everything has been told to me, but I still feel panic in my heart, and I can’t live without him.”
The last sentence is too gay, right? How can it come from the mouth of a duke who has a lover?
Lover, does she know what the Duke said in his notebook?
Ye He couldn’t help but think in his heart, he wanted to ask the system if he felt the same way, but he felt that the system would definitely make a big fuss about this matter, and would label him gay, so in the end chose to give up
After reading a few more pages, Ye He gradually understood that the identity of the “him” in the notebook should be the Duke’s friend. It appeared on every page, and the appearance rate was 100%. In the first few pages, almost the Duke wrote that he was afraid of losing this friend. Mood.
Duke Cesar lowered his eyes. Following Ye He’s voice, he seemed to have returned to the memory of worrying about gains and losses. Revere still loves to run around as he did when he was a child, but the duke only hopes that the other party can stay by his side.
When he thought that he only knew how to hold his dissatisfaction in his heart, the duke couldn’t help laughing at how young he was at that time. He didn’t know that if he wanted to catch a bird that loves to fly, the best thing he should do was not to tell the other party. Reason, but should first build a beautiful cage.
Ye He didn’t know the Duke’s thoughts at all, and was still reading the contents of the notebook seriously.
Originally, Ye He just read it with a perfunctory attitude, but after reading a few pages, his curiosity was instantly piqued, and he wanted to know the Duke’s beloved lover as if a cat’s claws were scratching gently in his heart. When will it appear.
It’s almost one-third of the thickness of the notebook, and the Duke’s notebook is still full of “he”. This “he” has too many scenes, right?
Ye He sighed in his heart: “The Duke and this ‘he’ are really brothers.”
If it wasn’t for the responsibility of reading the notebook to the Duke, Ye He really wanted to scribble at a glance and jump directly to the place where the Duke’s lover appeared, so that he could see how good-looking the other party was from the text.
The torn marks on the notebook looked like a bookmark, indicating that Ye He had finally read one-third of the notebook.
This notebook has torn marks, causing some incoherence in the content of the notebook. I just didn’t expect the number of pages to be torn from the notebook to be far more than Ye He imagined. Seeing that Cesar never stopped, Ye He could only bite the bullet and continue reading.
“On xx, 19xx, I finally understood that this possessiveness comes from love.”
Ye He saw this sentence, and his expression showed a bit of surprise – wait, what did he miss? !
Ahhh, what exactly was written on the torn pages? Did the Duke’s lover appear at that time? !
Ye He: “System, do you know?”
System: [Don’t force it to be difficult, I can only reproduce it, not restore it. 】
Ye He thumped his chest in his heart, he didn’t care about the number of pages that were torn down, but now he couldn’t help but start to think about whether the pages were torn by Cesar in front of him, or the duke tore them for some unknown reason. down.
But Ye He didn’t have the courage to ask Cesar, so he could only continue to read with regret. What he never expected was that there were a few pages missing in the middle. No wonder the notebook didn’t look thick.
Ye He sighed dejectedly in his heart, and then continued to read: “On xx, xx, 19xx, I finally got him back.”
…….he?
Ye He read it over and over again and again, and determined that the duke was referring to him as a male. Moreover, the duke’s regular handwriting is now a bit messy. Even after a hundred years, Ye He can still feel the happiness and joy of the other party between the lines.
The duke’s brother even has a role in it. It seems that the other party was taken away by someone, otherwise the duke would not use the word “snatch”.
Ye He heard a chuckle that suddenly sounded in the room, and he subconsciously looked at Cesar who was sitting on the chair. At this moment, Cesar’s face clearly showed joy, as if thinking of something that made him happy.
Ye He couldn’t help but looked down at the black notebook in his hand, and then at Cesar who was sitting on the chair. The timing of the other party’s laughter was too clever, and he had to doubt Cesar. It was time to empathize with the duke in the notebook.
For some reason, a chill suddenly rose from behind Ye He, and when he looked at the contents of the notebook, he felt inexplicably creepy.
The smile on Duke Cesar’s lips did not disappear. Even though the years had passed, he still felt joy flowing slowly in his blood when he recalled the moment when he recaptured Revere.
He still remembered the scene at that time, Revere was deceived by the woman, sat in the carriage and waited for the arrival of the woman, and wanted to elope with the other party as agreed. It’s just that when the appointed time arrives, what Revere sees when he lifts the curtain is not Freya, but the Duke with a cold look.
Revere’s face instantly showed a panicked look. He subconsciously wanted to open the carriage door and wanted to escape, but Duke Cesar had already taken one step ahead of him and pulled him out of the carriage.
Revere struggled and hesitated and asked him why he was here. The duke said calmly, “She made a deal with me and sold you to me.”
“She betrayed you.”
How could Revere believe it, struggling harder and harder, but his strength was like his favorite rose, even if it had thorns, it could still be easily broken off.
The originally bright sky suddenly started to rain. Duke Cesar hugged the shivering Revere tightly, draped his cloak over the opponent, and said softly, “Let’s go home.”
Even though Duke Cesar tried his best to soften his voice, Revere in his arms still didn’t stop shaking.
Until Revere disappeared, apart from being able to let the wind in the manor for a while accompanied by the duke, Revere never had the opportunity to leave the home of the duke.
In order to distract his attention and get rid of the lingering coldness as soon as possible, Ye He hurriedly read on.
But he didn’t expect that from this page, the style of the notes on the back also changed abruptly. The word “he” on every page finally made Ye He realize the fact that the Duke’s lover turned out to be a man.
The strange things in the previous diary finally became reasonable at this time. It is no wonder that he has never seen a word “she” from the beginning to the beginning. It turns out that the Duke’s lover is not “she” at all, but “he”.
There was also the worry about gain and loss in the Duke’s words before. He thought that the other party was afraid of losing friends. It turned out that the Duke had already fallen in love with “him” at that time, but he didn’t notice it.
Although Ye He is a straight man, he does not discriminate against homosexuals, so apart from being a little shocked, he has no other strange feelings. He just feels that the duke shown in the diary has subverted his image.
Although he has never seen the duke with his own eyes, and he only knows a few words from other people’s mouths, Ye He feels that as a duke, even if there is no ambitious plan in the other party’s diary, he should be calm and devised. The duke in the diary is simply a love brain through and through!
Ye He cried out in surprise in his heart: “Hey…”
Unexpectedly, the system also screamed, and there were rare ups and downs in the mechanical voice: [Fuck, the Duke’s lover is actually a man! 】
Ye He: “…You won’t react until now, will you?”
To be honest, it was the first time he heard the system utter foul language, and he didn’t expect that this incident would shock the system so much.
The system really didn’t know that the duke’s lover turned out to be a male. After all, in the dungeon, the setting of the duke’s lover was just a background board. How could it explore the gender of a background board, and just like Ye He, the default was a girl. .
And the most terrifying thing for the system to think about is the portrait just now.
System: [Have you ever thought that those portraits were found in the basement of the manor, and the people on these portraits have a relationship with the Duke……and the Duke? 】
If it weren’t for the fact that those portraits were so similar to Ye He, the system wouldn’t be so surprised
Hearing the system’s words, Ye He couldn’t help falling into silence, obviously thinking about it with the system.
Apparently these portraits do not look like work photographs that every servant has.
Ye He wanted to open his mouth to express his guess, but found that his voice was extremely dry and hoarse. He felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat, and the notebook in his hand seemed to have become a hot potato.
However, Ye He couldn’t throw away this hot potato just yet.
Without hearing Ye He’s voice, Cesar had already looked over. Ye He silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned the page to read on.
But after glancing at the content, Ye He was stunned, and a thin layer of red gradually appeared on his cheeks. There was only one thought in his mind: Wait, how do you read this?
If it wasn’t for the date marked on the header of each page, Ye He would have thought that the system had accidentally copied the color-coded content that he usually read.
Ye He secretly turned a few pages, wanting to skip these unhealthy content, but he didn’t expect that the same color was displayed on successive pages, it was inevitable.
Ye He: “…Is it too late for me to say that I am illiterate?”
System: [There is no time for this matter of courting death. 】
Ye He: “……”
Damn, if you want to refute, there is no way to start.
To make matters worse, Ye He’s sound of turning pages also attracted Cesar’s attention, and the other party’s eyes fell on him.
Seeing that Ye He didn’t speak for a long time, Duke Cesar asked, “Why don’t you read it?”
Ye He: “Master, the content of these few pages… Why don’t you skip it?”
He didn’t know if Cesar had read these contents, but Ye He really couldn’t read it anymore.
Duke Cesar certainly knew what was in the diary, and said calmly, “Don’t jump, just keep reading.”
System: [It’s just the death of the society, the next world will not see Cesar again, what are you afraid of? 】
Ye He thought about it for a second—that’s right, he and Cesar were the only ones present, and in the next world he wouldn’t see Cesar again. Rounding up would mean that he didn’t die!
As for the system…..
The system is not human.
Thinking of this, Ye He clenched the cover of the notebook tightly and read on: “This is our first time, his body is shaking so much…”
“I took his shoulders and kissed every inch of his skin, probably because the pain was so bad, he shrunk into my arms like a kitten…”
“He was clearly crying with red eyes and a face of resistance, but now his body is so soft…”
Because of his shyness, Ye He’s eyelashes trembled with every word he spat out, like a butterfly flapping its wings. His neck was covered with a thin layer of red from his cheeks, and his voice became smaller and smaller. It’s like reading to yourself.
However, the Duke did not interrupt his intention to make him speak a little louder, which made Ye He secretly relieved in his heart – hold on, he should be able to read it soon.
“I lightly bit the birthmark on his lower back and told him it looked like a rose.”
“Since he likes roses, I planted a large field of roses in the manor, and this rose garden can be seen from the windows of our two rooms.”
“And the best fertilizer, of course, is her.”
“I want her to watch me hug my lover day and night, even after her death.”
“Yes, this is my love.”
The author has something to say: System: people inherently die, or die from society, or die from lack of money
Ye He: You got my name directly =. =
PS: I didn’t expect that there was a power outage in the school, so I hurriedly found an Internet cafe to continue writing, and I apologized to my knees. The babies have been waiting for a long time. QAQ
