Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 154 Klein's Room
The roar of the whistle suddenly sounded, and a long steel dragon meandered across the earth.

Klein and Eve sat facing each other in chairs, silence filling the air between them.

"Where's Rarity?"

Klein asked, feeling he needed to say something to ease the current silence.

"Cats can't take the train. She arrived in Backlund before we boarded the train," Eve replied.

"Actually, you could go back early so you can save money on your train tickets." Klein said casually. His mind was a bit fuzzy right now, and he could only say whatever came to his mind.

Eve suppressed the corner of her mouth and said, "When we first met, I sat opposite you and looked at you like this."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

Eve stared at Klein, her soft black hair draped over her chest, swaying slightly with his movements.

He is in a good mood now. Although he doesn't care whether Zhou Mingrui is by his side, it does not prevent him from being happy about his brother's return.

Of course, Eve knew that these emotions could not be expressed in front of Zhou Mingrui, even though they both knew it.

Klein raised his head and looked at Eve, gazing into her eyes.

He always knew that Eve had a pair of beautiful and affectionate eyes, as deep as the ocean, and her deep peach blossom eyes added a touch of charm.

The smile that always filled those eyes had now disappeared, and Klein's figure was reflected in his eyes.

Klein looked at Him, looked at himself in His eyes, and looked at "Klein" in His eyes.

Slowly, he looked away.

"Regarding this matter, whether I'm right or wrong, I'm sorry to you, Benson, and Melissa, and that's the truth."

Klein slowly turned his head. He didn't want to talk anymore. He leaned his forehead against the car window and looked at Tingen City getting farther and farther away.

There are no bright lights or revelry in Tingen at night. Only street lamps and a few rooms emit a faint light. A crimson veil covers the silent city, caressing every sleeping life.

Klein, using the moonlight, managed to look at Tingen. In his sight, Tingen City became smaller and smaller, until it was completely hidden in the darkness and could no longer be seen.

Even though he couldn't see, he still leaned against the window and looked towards Tingen City.

Klein rested his forehead against the glass, his right hand unconsciously reaching into his coat pocket to stroke the metal doll.

This he took from Moretti's house.

He took a metal doll, a Klein, from the Moretti house.

Eve looked up through the window at Tingen, then looked away at Klein, who was leaning against the window.

The long dragon of steel wound its way across the land, roaring and tearing through the air, advancing into the night.

The whistle sounded again and the train slowly entered the station.

They arrived at Backlund, the city of hope.

Klein withdrew his gaze from the window, pulled his hands out of his pockets, and stood up by supporting himself with the seat.

Eve stood up right after Klein and got out of the car with him.

At this late hour, there were no public carriages to be found. Eve took Klein directly back to his residence in Backlund.

"Meow~"

The moment the two figures appeared in the house, Ruirui opened her eyes, squatted on the sofa and called out softly.

"Good evening, Rarity," Crane responded.

"I've prepared a room for you." Eve put down her hand that was on Klein's shoulder, held Ruirui in her arms and said, "It's on the second floor."

After she finished speaking, Eve took two steps forward, turned around, and waved to Klein, signaling him to follow. Only after she saw Klein catch up did she turn and go upstairs. Eve walked toward the room on the left, and with a push of her hand, the door swung back, revealing the room.

"This is your room." Eve pointed at the room and said to Klein.

Klein took two steps forward and looked inside the room.

A bed about two meters long took up a lot of space in the room. A gray pillow lay quietly at the head of the bed. The quilt was not folded up but spread flat on the bed. Judging from the style, the pillowcase, bed sheet and quilt should be a set.

On either side of the bed stood a black wooden chest of drawers, each empty. To the right of the chest of drawers was a large wooden wardrobe. In front of the bed, just in front of the window, stood a bare desk.

Eve walked into the room and opened the wardrobe, revealing the clothes she had prepared for Klein.

When Klein saw Eve enter the room, he immediately followed her and was surprised to find that Eve had even prepared clothes for him.

There aren't many clothes in the closet, just two sets of pajamas, two sets of formal suits and a windbreaker.

"I thought I'd be sleeping on the sofa tonight. I didn't expect you to not only prepare a room, but also clothes." Klein retracted the surprise on his face and chuckled, but a hint of guilt appeared in his eyes.

Eve closed the cabinet door and didn't respond to Klein. Instead, she said, "Let's buy a cane tomorrow."

Klein left the Moretti home without his cane.

"Okay," Klein nodded. Then, remembering that he had no money, he immediately added, "But I need to go to the sea and hunt pirates first."

Eve nodded to show that she understood.

"Also," Klein took out the one pound he had brought with him and handed it to Eve, saying, "This week's rent. Since we're living together now, I naturally can't let you pay the rent alone."

"I signed a long-term contract and will pay one year's rent at a time." Eve took the gold pounds handed to her by Klein and said.

"Then give it back to me." Klein stretched out his hand and said.

"No," Eve said, holding a one-pound note between her fingers and waving it in front of Klein. "It's family property now."

Klein chuckled and withdrew his hand. He hadn't intended to do so in the first place.

Eve smiled and stuffed the one-pound note back into Klein's pocket.

Klein was stunned and looked at his pocket. A hint of smile appeared in his eyes, but he said nothing. After all, this was the family's common property.

Eve withdrew her hand and instead grasped Klein's sleeve, half-dragging him out of the room. Klein obediently let her pull him.

"This is my room," Eve said, pointing to the room on the right as she walked to the door of Klein's room. "You can come to me if you need anything. Of course, not in the morning."

Klein knew that Eve liked to sleep in. It was the same in her previous life; she would always sleep until noon on weekends.

"That's the bathroom. There's another one on the right." Eve took two steps forward, stepped past Klein, and opened the bathroom on the left. "You'll use this one from now on. I've prepared toiletries for you."

Klein looked up and saw that the layout was very similar to Daffodil Street.

"There is a storage room underground, but I haven't stored anything in it. You can use it if you need it." Eve pointed downwards again and said.

Klein thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to need to store anything. After all, he already had a convenient and safe portable storage room like Sefirah Castle.

"Rest first. You still have to go to the church for special training tomorrow."

"Ah."

Klein and Eve said good night to each other and returned to their rooms.

He opened the wardrobe door, took out a set of black pajamas, washed up briefly, and then lay down on the bed.

Klein touched the soft bed beneath him, feeling dazed for a moment. He turned over and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I wonder how Benson, Melissa and Eve are doing now?
