Rekindle the spirit of war

Chapter 37

This scene was something Sean had never imagined: Medanzo stayed in a simple room, among the old furniture of rough workmanship, chatting with people who should have been looked down upon by the aristocracy.

Yes, Medanzo was chatting with Sofia.At this time, the petite but energetic girl was angrily saying: "I was as tired as a dog in the factory, and I was harassed on the way back. What's the matter! That stupid pig must have put me She's become a street girl. Hey, if it wasn't his master who sat in the car, I can't afford to offend him, and I would definitely smash his dog's head on the spot!"

The girl sitting next to Sophia opened her mouth, intending to correct the mistakes in her lover's words—a pig obviously cannot grow a dog's head.But Sean kicked the front of her leather shoe under the table to keep her from talking.

Sean didn't want to overwhelm; he was already screwed.When Medanzo talked to Sophia, he was watching vigilantly, always ready.He intends to knock the pervert out before he reveals himself so as not to frighten the two young ladies.

Fortunately, and unexpectedly, Medanzo showed a very normal side.He smiled patiently, silently encouraging Sophia to vomit her bitterness, tolerate the vulgar words that came out of the other party's mouth, and occasionally said a few elegant and pertinent comments.Now Medanzo doesn't look hideous, nor scary, and even a little charming.

Such a Metatron reminded Sean of the previous scene at the ball.At that time, Medanzo also appeared to be likable.Soon, Sean understood what was going on.Medanzo was noble and well-educated, and of course he would show the most elegant and decent side when facing the public and equally distinguished guests.

This cognition brought new doubts to Sean.When Medanzo faced himself, he never concealed his bad taste and annoying traits, which was annoying but also reassuring.At least, Medanzo's frank attitude made it unnecessary for him to make great efforts to guard against it.But it was strange that Medanzuo came to visit his family specially.If you just want to blackmail yourself—although it is completely unnecessary, then Medanzuo doesn't have to be approachable at all.

Maybe it's just to make a difference.I don't like that kind of thing, so Medanzo won't do that in front of me.

This idea popped up in Sean's mind, and he erased it with his own hands.This near-feel-good idea was Medanzo's, not his own.He and his companions have already walked under the sun and among the people, and they will encounter many dangers in the future, and most of these dangers will come from the big families in power.Therefore, I must remain vigilant against Metatron.

No matter what Sean thinks in his heart, he must treat the guests well after all.When Medanzo said goodbye to the two ladies cordially and politely, Sean got up, intending to send them out.

The night shrouded the dilapidated and narrow streets, and the thick and gloomy fog made it even more difficult for people to see things clearly.Sean stood at the door and asked Sophia, "Need me to take your...friend home?"

"No, honey, she stays at night and sleeps with me. You just need to take care of your boyfriend." Seeing that Sean's expression was not very good, Sophia quickly changed her words: "I mean men friend."

Sean looked at Medanzo helplessly.The other party didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled faintly and didn't say anything to refute.This reaction is so stupid.Xie En thought, and gently pushed Mei Danzuo out the door.

Sean thought his troubles were over, but he was obviously wrong.After going out, Medanzuo mentioned their unfulfilled agreement: "Without me, you wouldn't have sneaked into Zhanying's mansion so easily. Now, do two small things to repay me."

Isn't it a thing?Sean opened his mouth, but no words came out.He wasn't sure if the other party had said a few things, after all he rarely took what Medanzuo said to heart. "Small things?"

"Small thing. You just let me kiss you and walk with me afterwards. It won't take too long. I won't let you go home too late."

Shane didn't answer right away.He clenched his fist several times, wanting to punch the opponent, but finally let it go slowly.Exhaling slowly several times, he nodded.

"You promised?"

"This isn't the worst thing you've ever done to me. There's been a lot worse than this." Sheen closed her eyes, trying to get through the impending kiss.He felt Medanzo's arms wrap around his body from both sides to the back, gently encircling his body, and slowly tightened. "I'm sorry—for everything."

After speaking, Medanzo kissed Sean.This kiss was different from any other.Not cold sarcasm and pity, nor impetuous plunder, just rubbing back and forth slowly after the lips touched each other.

Sean doesn't like to kiss with men, especially if the target is a man who has insulted him. It stands to reason that the more intimate the contact, the more disgusting he will be.But the kiss was soft and the hug was warm.Shane was confused.

Something wet and soft licked the space between Sean's lips.Sean guessed that it was the tip of the other party's tongue, and couldn't help frowning in disgust.In the next second, the wet touch disappeared from the lips, and it returned to the previous state that was too weak to be called a kiss.

Sean slowly opened his eyes, his eyes moved up slightly.Medanzo was watching him closely.Shane understood instantly.Mei Danzuo watched the changes in his expression to judge whether he liked it or not.The other party's warm breath sprayed on Sean's face.Sean was surprised to find that the person in front of him seemed to have "body temperature", and that warmth had already enveloped him.

For some reason Sean became embarrassed and looked sideways.But this gesture made him even more embarrassed: he found Sophia and her lover standing side by side on the threshold, staring at them eagerly.

Sean immediately pushed Medanzo away. "Let's go. I don't want to come back too late. It'll wake my sisters."

Medanzo glanced back and knew what was making Sean uncomfortable.He smiled quietly, and pulled Sean away.The two girls still watched them whisper to each other until the mist and night completely engulfed their figures.

"Your sister is really cute."

"Of course, she's a lovely girl." Sean replied subconsciously, and then realized that the other party was teasing herself.He retorted: "But don't underestimate her, let alone try to irritate her. Whenever she screams loudly, the wild cats will be frightened and run away, and the passers-by will run faster than the cats. Corresponding to the voice, she also Very good at fighting. No man around here would dare to offend him."

"I've heard it. But you're not afraid of her, though you say so."

"If she did it, how could she beat me?" Sean replied casually, "And we won't do that at all. We are siblings, would we be rough on each other?"

"For me, family attacks are not uncommon." Medanzo said in a low voice.

Sean glanced at Medanzo.The other party's face became hazy in the thick fog, but he could clearly see the other party's disappointed expression.Sean couldn't help but soften his expression. "For the right of inheritance, isn't it? Although you are usually inherited by the eldest son, after the country's reform, many nobles no longer follow this."

"It is indeed because of this problem. In fact, even if you lose the right of inheritance, people will not lose anything in terms of wealth. We have learned too much. After leaving the family, there are still many careers to choose from, such as soldiers and lawyers. But inheritance It's all about dignity. That's why it matters."

"To put it bluntly, isn't that just about saving face?"

"Yes, it's really about face." Medanzuo laughed a few times, staring at Sean and said, "I care about this, but you always make me lose face."

Sean shrugged. "Isn't that what you deserve? I didn't let you provoke me."

"Yes, I took the initiative to provoke you, and I will continue to do so." Medanzuo said in a low voice, "Don't worry about me, I rarely worry about it. Today I just felt a little bit surprised and sad."

Sean wanted to retort that he was not worried, but Medanzo changed the subject first: "Actually, I am more interested in the series of events that happened last night and tonight. You and your companions have done some amazing things. matter."

Sean paused.His expression became serious, and the previously softened facial lines became cold and hard again. "What do you want to say? On this matter, we have different positions."

"Relax, I don't want to quarrel with you. The new law is good for the workers and not bad for the Levin family, so I won't stand in the way; as for guarding against what you're about to do—you know what I mean, all the great families Everyone will be involved. It's inevitable, and I can't give up my position to help you. So it's useless for you to be nervous."

Sean's expression relaxed a little, although he was still vigilant in his heart: "You are very honest with me."

"I've been honest with you. To be honest, last night seeing people marching through the streets and finally converging, I was...shocked? That's a bit of an exaggeration, but that's probably what I was thinking. I know that in What will happen in the factory. I thought that the high-intensity work will tire them, and the mechanized work will make them numb. In this society that itself works like a large machine, things should be like that, and the people at the bottom will Live in a stupor and ignorance. But some people awaken them who are silent." Speaking of this, Medan Zuo glanced at Sean, with a little confusion.

Sean noticed the complex emotions in Medanzo's eyes. "Are you scared?"

"A little."

"But you also feel pleasantly surprised. You may not even know what you are surprised about, but you really have this emotion in your heart." Sean pointed out: "Otherwise, you would not tell me these things."

Medanzuo leaned closer to Sean, wanting to hold Sean's hand. "You seem to understand my thoughts more and more. I didn't know you paid so much attention to me."

Sean dodges just in time. "If you don't always appear in front of me, I won't pay attention to you at all. But we do have similar views on certain things, and I don't even need to speculate." Sean said, feeling incredible: " Maybe I'd be a lot more honest with you if our positions weren't so opposing."

But it's impossible to be honest now.No matter what Medanzuo said, it didn't matter, because the power of the common people was difficult to compete with the nobles; and because of this, Sean couldn't be open and honest with the other party.He didn't feel guilty about it, it just happened that way, and Medanzo knew it very well.

It wasn't the first time they'd "walked" the streets at night, but it was the only one without any gunpowder.They walked the whole distance without knowing it, and finally arrived outside the residence of the Levin family.

"I'm going in. Do you need me to get someone to take you?"

Sean shook his head: "No need. You know very well that I can not only walk in the dark, but also do many other things."

"Indeed, you used to be a member of the crow." Medanzuo hesitated for a while, then asked again: "Can I give you a hug?"

Shane didn't answer.Mei Danzuo only regarded the other party as acquiescing, and hugged him vigorously.When he lowered his head and buried it in Sean's neck, he found that the other's face was cold, so he turned his head and kissed the other's cheek.

Sean never responded, and Medanzo almost thought that the other party was going to promise him.He suppressed his joy and kissed Sean's lips.At this time, the four eyes met, and he finally realized that Sean was looking in a certain direction intently, and he didn't pay attention to himself at all.

Disappointment brought anxiety, Medanzuo bit Sean's lower lip hard.

"What are you doing?" Sean broke away in a startled state, and wiped his lips displeased.But he soon turned to the castle.There was a light on in a room he had known from previous lives. "Your grandfather has returned, hasn't he?"

"Yes, do you want to see him?" Medanzuo asked, then quickly changed his words: "No...he won't want to see you."

Sean knew that no matter how Medanzuo guessed, it was impossible to think of the real reason. "He really doesn't want to see me."
