Chapter 96： Extra (2)

The scenic town is surrounded by a quaint manor house, lush gardens, and Baroque-style white buildings stand among them.

This is the castle of the Field family for centuries.

Anderson has been serving the Field family since his ancestors, and now he is the current steward of the Field family, in charge of this century-old castle with a long history. Every morning, he will arrange his servants to take care of everything in the castle to ensure that everything in the castle is only organized and can be reviewed at any time.Even when the host is not at home, there is no slackness, and he always fulfills himself strictly. Duties.

And in recent years, the owner has been returning to live more and more. He seems to prefer the quietness and coziness here than the bustling world outside.

This morning, Anderson put on his own black tuxedo as usual, carefully put on a meticulous bow tie, put on white gloves, and started his day's work.

When he came outside, Mars was already waiting in the side hall. He smiled and said: "This is the latest work of the little artist" Night ", I took the first shot as soon as it came out, Your Count will definitely like it."

Anderson nodded and smiled. He came to the table, took out a sharp paper knife, carefully cut the paper outside the painting, and a beautiful picture appeared in front of him.

He admired for a moment and said to Mars: "It's hard for you, Your Excellency will be satisfied, and I will let someone call you later."

Mars showed a look of joy. He knew that Count Field had always been generous, and as long as he could get what he liked, he would naturally get a lot of money. In recent years, he has helped the Count buy a lot of Ji Ling's paintings. It was just that he didn't understand. What exactly was the young painter from a distant eastern country that deserves the attention of Earl Field? Although Ji Ling is very talented ... but after all, he is just a budding newcomer, and Count Field previously only collected the works of Van Gogh's famous painters. Ji Ling's paintings were not enough to meet the standards of his collection ...

Mars shook his head in confusion, and added as he was about to leave: "By the way, I asked the young artist to hold an exhibition on the 8th next month. The news may be of interest to the Count."

Anderson nodded. "I see."

Mars stopped talking and left with a smile.

Anderson watched Mars leave and took the painting to the collection room east of the castle.

Count Field's collection has always been extensive, and the family collection has a long history. However, his collection room is never allowed to be visited by outsiders. If anyone can see it, he will be amazed that there are so many famous collections ... but Anderson knows, His Excellency didn't care about these, he preferred to collect the works of a painter called Ji Ling.

Even for this purpose, the valuable collections were moved to other rooms, and the largest collection room was vacated for Ji Ling's paintings.

Anderson hangs the latest paintings on the wall. This collection room has been taken care of by himself. This is the most beloved collection of Count Field. Of course, he must be treated with caution, and of course he is more reliable than any servant. Keeping things that the owner cherishes for his master is his professionalism as a qualified housekeeper.

Anderson did all of this and looked at it carefully.

In the past few years, the original empty collection room has become increasingly full. Dozens of paintings have been hung on the walls. There are fantastic fantasies, swaying corners of flowers, uninhabited vast grasslands, and high-rise buildings ...

This is indeed a very talented young man who has gained some fame in the world of painting in recent years, but what really makes Anderson more curious is not his paintings, but his relationship with Earl Field.

Anderson recalled yesterday that his wife was also curious to ask him about Count Field. Although the children did not speak, they couldn't help but gossip about the private life of the castle master.

In fact, there are not a few who are curious about this throughout the aristocracy and the upper classes.

Earl Field is no longer young, but he still has no idea of ​​getting married. In the past few years, no one cares about this matter, because Earl Field has always been popular, countless lovers, countless people, it is normal for him to rush to get married However, the women are also happy to have a dew relationship with him. Although he is not married, his private life is not boring. But in recent years ... Earl Field seems to be tired of these days of hanging flowers, and he no longer accepts those women He approached, even started to live in a simple way, and lived in his castle all year round, and rarely attended any activities outside.

It's not normal to be unwilling to get married.

Some people think that Earl Field has found true love. The reason why he no longer lingers on the flowers is to get married. What kind of woman can make this romantic and ruthless guy determined to change for her?

But one, two, three years pass ...

Count Field was still without anyone, let alone married, and there had been no more scandals.

Everyone has to realize that the Count may really just be tired of the extravagant and casual life-living, and want to cultivate your health?

Although he was in his prime, His Excellency seemed to have entered a twilight age of desirelessness. He didn't take anybody into consideration, as if everything in this world was irrelevant to him.

But only Anderson knew that His Excellency the Earl actually cared about someone.

That is, the young man named Ji Ling from the far east country. Since His Excellency has gone to that country once, not only has it become more unpredictable, sometimes Anderson will feel that even in the eyes of His Excellency, it is no more It's a tiny ant ...

Nothing but the news of that young man could interest His Excellency the Earl.

For five years, the collection room was filled with Ji Ling's paintings.

The Earl will come here often, but he will not stay for a long time. He usually just takes a look and then leaves, not to mention seeing the person on his own initiative.

Except when the young man got married a year ago, His Excellency never visited the country again, as if he was restraining something. Anderson remembered it once and asked His Excellency a word because of curiosity: If you want to see him, why not Where to go?

The Earl smiled and said: Because it is not the time.

Anderson didn't understand. When and when would you like to meet someone?

Anderson also investigated the news of the youth. He wanted to know where he was worthy to be looked at by the Earl. Is he the one who changed the Earl? But he didn't get any useful information.

If His Excellency Earl of Earl, why not meet him and bring him back? And Ji Ling is married to others, so it should not be love. So Anderson thought, Is Ji Ling the illegitimate child of His Excellency the Earl? But this guess seems even more ridiculous ...

Anderson shook his head, tossed out those messy thoughts, and turned to close the door of the collection room.

He came to the restaurant and saw that His Excellency had just run out of breakfast.

The elegant brown-haired man lowered the knife and fork gently, wiped the corners of his mouth with a white handkerchief, raised his eyebrows and said, "Anderson, is there anything wrong today?"

Anderson stooped respectfully, saying: "Mars brought Ji Ling's latest paintings, I have put them in the collection room, and I learned that Ji Ling will hold an exhibition in London in the future on the 8th next month."

Carlos frowned slightly and nodded, "I see."

Anderson finished his daily report and saw that Carlos was going to leave without telling him. Carlos suddenly spoke and said lightly: "I decided to hold a banquet here to host celebrities and some young artists. nighttime then."

Anderson looked up staggeringly. "Even on the eighth?"

Carlos said: "Yes, you arrange it, I hope to see the guests I want to see."

Anderson immediately understood, and bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, I will be ready, you can rest assured."

………………

At the end of the exhibition, Ji Ling watched the staff take down the paintings one by one and carefully packed them in the box. This is the last stop of his tour of the exhibition and he can go home after the tour.

Thinking of having been away from home for some time, Ji Ling took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Ning Yu: I will go home tomorrow.

The news of Ning Yu came back quickly: I'll pick you up.

Ji Ling: OK.

He couldn't help but smile at the lips of the message, and he felt a little bit reconciled. Speaking of which, he had left the house for more than two months this time ...

This is the first time that I have been separated from Ning Yu for so long.

Ji Ling came out of the corridor, looking at the faces of foreigners coming and going downstairs, remembering for a moment that Carlos was in this country. He had said to himself that if he came to his country, he would treat him well. .

But Ji Ling didn't think about contacting Carlos. For him, everything in that world is past tense. Carlos hasn't come to find himself again all these years, except after coming once on the wedding day, from him The world is gone.

A few years later, Carlos has gradually become a vague symbol. Since Carlos did not come to bother him, naturally he would not bother Carlos.

Not to use Carlos' resources.

Thinking of the things that happened in the past, Ji Ling couldn't help but smile, as if there was a feeling of growing up and then looking back at his childish behavior when he was a kid, at that time he was tired of coping in that world and was scared by the big villains It ’s like a bird that is scared of bows. Every day, I lose my hair to protect myself from sorrow. I am often forced to make a lot of oolongs ... If I come back again, I might handle it better?

But in life, there must be some regrets.

At this time, the owner of the gallery, Isaac, came over from the opposite side, and showed a bright smile to Ji Ling: "Hey, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Isaac is a tall white man with a wide range of people. He is the only one who has invited Ji Ling to hold art exhibitions because of his invitation. They have known each other for more than two years and are good friends.

Isaac leaned on Ji Ling's shoulder and said, "Don't you really stay for a few days?"

Ji Ling smiled and shook her head: "No, I have to go home."

Isakra's long note: "There must be an intriguing beauty in your family waiting for you, otherwise why do you say you want to go home every time I want to invite you to live longer?"

Ji Ling pondered for a moment: "Well, it's a beauty."

Isaac was almost speechless, hating iron and steel: "Even if it is really beautiful, there is no wildflower fragrance in the family flowers! Forget it, don't be foolish with you-please tell me, since you are leaving tomorrow, stay with me tonight Attend a banquet. "

Ji Ling didn't like this kind of occasion very much, and some didn't want to go, saying, "I want to go back and take a good rest."

Isaac stiffened and said angrily: "Some of my friends would like to meet the famous painter Ji Ling, and let me take you tonight. If you do n’t give me such a face, you will be treated like me later. This friend is fine. "

Ji Ling: "..."

Isaac saw Ji Ling not speak, and when he agreed, he was satisfied: "Dear Ji, I know you are a morale person. You do n’t have a sentence in China, it ’s called a two-edged sword for a friend. ?"

Ji Ling: "..."

Isn't your analogy right? First of all, we have nothing to do with that share. Secondly, attending a banquet is really not a two-edged sword.

But Ji Ling did not correct her friend's words, let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

While driving on the road, Isaac hummed the song and beat on the steering wheel. It seemed very happy, but the road here became more and more remote, and it seemed to be the way out of the city.

Ji Ling looked at his friend in doubt. If he wasn't convinced that their relationship was good, he would have doubted that he was going to kill someone.

Just when he was thinking whether to ask where to go, a gorgeous and brilliant castle appeared in the remote town. Ji Ling pressed down the question in his throat. It seems that someone is really here Hold a banquet!

Isaac turned and smiled at Ji Ling: "Look, we're here."

The car drove into a long driveway, with lush flowers on both sides of the driveway. It can be seen that everything here is not neglected, it should be the territory of a certain aristocracy, not a haunted castle.

Ji Ling paused: "What's your friend—?"

Isaac blinked mysteriously and said, "I'll know when you go."

Ji Ling smiled helplessly, this guy is still playing mysteriously.

Although Isaac refused to say it, Ji Ling didn't care. He met naturally when he met. After a few years, he was no longer the boy who was naive and easily panic when things happened, although he would not be completely out of time. Become another person, but as the experience grows, it will always grow and change.

Isaac brought Ji Ling to the castle. The housekeeper of the castle was a middle-aged man with blond hair and brown eyes. He wore a meticulous black tuxedo and greeted them with respect.

Isaac was very kind to the housekeeper and said, "Mr. Anderson, please go and get rid of us."

Anderson smiled slightly: "Okay, if you have any questions or needs, please let me know." After that, he looked at Ji Ling again, showing a thoughtful smile: "Mr. Ji, please enjoy your time The night here. "

Ji Ling politely nodded and smiled.

After Isaac waited for Anderson to leave, he said with emotion: "I haven't been here for a long time. The last time Fei ... the last time the Earl held a banquet here, it was years ago."

Ji Ling said curiously, "Her Count?"

Isaac exaggerated, "Well, didn't I tell you before? The host here is a real nobleman."

Ji Ling grinned: "You may have forgotten."

Isaac patted his forehead. At this time, a friend called him. He said, "You'll meet for a while, I'll say hello, come back to accompany you right away, wait for me not to run around, I will Introduce friends to you! "

Ji Ling: "..."

I have never seen such unreliable people ...

Ji Ling waited for a while, but because there were too many people, he looked at Isaac no longer. Ji Ling shook his head. This guy is really unreliable, but he was also pulled today anyway. Since Isaac Leaving him, he naturally has no interest in waiting in situ, Ji Ling simply walked out of the hall, thinking about how he would return.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air here is very fresh and seems to be filled with the fragrance of plants and trees.

The garden is very delicately managed. On both sides of the cobbled paved path, white hollow metal lamps hang, giving off a warm yellow light.

Ji Ling walked casually, and saw a crimson rose in front showing a corner. He walked involuntarily, bowed his head and sniffed, and the pleasant aroma penetrated into his nose.

From a distance, it is only a corner, but when I walk in, I find that there is no hole in the sky. It turns out to be a very wide rose garden. Fireflies are flying in the night sky.

Ji Lingdi stood there, and for a moment, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It's like seeing this scene somewhere.

But he couldn't remember, he was obviously here for the first time.

Ji Ling frowned, thinking about it for a long time without thinking about it. It was very quiet and there was no one else. Ji Ling was worried that he had come to a place that he shouldn't have come to. He no longer thought about it and was going to leave from here. He heard a low laugh behind him.

"I want to try my best to restore it, but there are no broad-leaved plants from the blue starfish on the earth, so it feels a little worse ..."

Ji Ling stepped back and turned around stupidly.

I saw a handsome man with brown eyes and brown eyes walking slowly out of the flowers. He held a black metal cane and raised an eyebrow to show an elegant smile: "It's really hard to see you once, so please Forgive me for not telling you who I am before I invite you. "

Ji Ling was really very surprised just now, but he calmed down very quickly. This was really something Carlos would do, and this garden, he finally remembered why he felt familiar ... At that time, he had just returned from the second brush and was once invited I lived in Carlos's house for a few days. At the time, Carlos's house had such a rose garden. For that world, the rose was a precious ancient plant that was almost extinct, instead of being seen everywhere during the earth's time.

That garden, he had only seen at Carlos's home.

Ji Ling looked at him and smiled lightly: "In fact, if you just want to invite me as a guest, you can say directly, I will not refuse."

Carlos looked at him for a long while, and suddenly a smile appeared in his eyes. "You have changed a lot."

The young man who used to be afraid of him, feared him, and tried his best to escape from him, is now a mature and stable young man, and will deal with him humblely and haughtily.

You can even say such words frankly.

Instead of just escaping.

Carlos shrugged and deepened his smile: "Because I have invited you many times, but you have never been to me once, and you have never been to me. I thought you would not want to see me."

Ji Ling was silent for a moment, and said, "It's just a polite word, I won't take it seriously."

Carlos heard a wounded look: "It's heartbreaking to say such things when you haven't seen you for so long."

Ji Ling has long understood that this guy is good at disguising, and said blankly, "Is it?"

Seeing Ji Ling indifferent, Carlos had to retract his injured expression and shrugged: "You are more ruthless than before."

Ji Ling thought that it would be his honor to be said to be ruthless by this true and most ruthless villain.

Carlos walked over step by step, looked around at the roses, looked at Ji Ling: "Do you remember here?"

Ji Ling nodded.

Carlos looked at him deeply, his lips raised, and he said meaningfully: "At that time, I lied to you to come here, and you came really stupidly, or maybe you knew that I had ulterior motives, but thought that I would not take you. Well, in fact, this is a very naive and risky act, putting myself into the hands of those who are against you ... I can do more to you. "

Ji Ling: "..." He couldn't even refute the sentence, Carlos was right, he was naive at that time.

He felt that since Carlos dare to invite him openly, it was impossible for him to do anything to him, but this man's method was even more treacherous and colder than he thought, and his mind was not what he could guess. , But I almost confessed myself there ...

Now thinking about it, I was able to leave safely at first, and I have to thank Carlos for his mercy.

Ji Ling pursed her lips: "... but you didn't do that."

Carlos suddenly raised his hand, provoked Ji Ling's chin, and laughed jokingly: "How do you know what I did or didn't do?" He paused, his voice stretched, and he smiled implicitly: "I am asleep while you are asleep I kissed you when I was there, was it-was your first kiss right? "

Ji Ling's pupils contracted, and she was finally shocked. What? !! Was there such a thing at the time? !!

He didn't know it!

He thought his first kiss was taken by Jing Sui ...

Ji Ling's face finally showed an unnatural blush, "You, what are you talking about."

Carlos said slowly: "Not only your first kiss, but also your first wedding, all belong to me ... nearly, even your first time ..."

Ji Ling's face went dark, "You shut up."

Carlos didn't shut up, his brown eyes were deep, his tone deep and smiling: "May I invite you to dance? Before you leave--"

Ji Ling was silent again.

The man's palm rested on his waist, and he gently pulled it closer to him, taking a slow pace.

Ji Ling's hand was held by the other party, and as the other party's tempo moved gently, listening to the music gently hummed from the man's throat, there was no accompaniment, the tone was not accurate, but Ji Ling could hear that this is a very world The famous tune, which he often heard at noble banquets, was melodious and long.

Carlos stopped short before humming, and his brows grew darker in the night.

After the dance, he gently lifted Ji Ling's hand and dropped a kiss on the back of Ji Ling's hand.

Ji Ling looked down and finally saw the opponent's finger and the ring. At the time ... Carlos had given him another, but he didn't accept it.

Originally, I just wanted to say goodbye to the other party, but at this moment, my mood was a little complicated, and Ji Ling said, "You don't need this."

Carlos smiled casually: "What?"

Ji Ling looked at his eyes and said, "You have come to my world for five years. You know exactly what your world is like and what my world is like, and it is clear that everything is just a misunderstanding. It's a coincidence that I'm not as good as you think. I only do it to complete the task. Those who are just me are pretending to be me ... and in my real world, I am just a million people. It ’s just one of them. I ’m afraid, I ’m selfish, I work hard to live, and I ’m not so brave ... ”

"I know it all," Carlos interrupted him, smiling slightly. "But what about it?"

Ji Lingchen looked at him.

Carlos said: "I have seen the vast expanse of the vast universe, I have also seen a galaxy annihilated in front of my eyes, and I have seen countless amazing human beings. After they appeared, they were shocked. I have seen the rise and fall of the dynasty And perish ... but I had everything and fell from a height, and just such a person appeared in front of me, so ... I like you not because of how good you are and how different you are, but because you happen to be That person. "

Ji Ling's throat was a bit astringent: "But I ..."

Carlos smiled slowly and said slowly, "I didn't see you today to bother you. Although for me, you are indeed the exception to that one-in-one ... ... but what you really look like, I I will use my own eyes to see, instead of listening to you, it is only my thing that I like you.

The thing you should know is that I like you, it does not affect my current life, and does not prevent me from enjoying everything I have.

In fact, I should thank you for allowing me to stop and have a leisure time to see the beautiful scenery around me. "

"I invite you here today, but I just want to tell you that I'm doing fine," Carlos said.

Ji Ling Dingding looked at him for a long time, and Zhan Yan smiled: "I see, thank you."

He paused, turned around, and turned back before leaving: "Goodbye."

Carlos watched the youth with a smile.

Before long, Anderson stepped out of the shadows and whispered, "Are you really letting him go like this?"

Carlos tapped his finger lightly on the cane, and he chuckled: "Do you know what is the best way to love someone?"

Anderson asked, "What is it?"

Carlos's thoughts seemed a little distant.

People who love each other are two-love-phase-yue, but forcing someone who doesn't love themselves to be with them is just wishful thinking, which makes each other painful.

He is always accustomed to destroying everything, even if he is the one he loves.

Only after the rebirth of two lives did one understand the simplest truth.

That is to love someone and you should learn to let go.

"Let's go, the dinner is about to begin." Carlos shook his head and turned, his lips were smiling, his voice diffused into the night: "Can't keep my guests waiting."
