Sofia stared at the expressionless Chen Huijie, not knowing for a moment whether this man was deliberately playing a prank or really didn't know, but the embarrassing feeling just now was obviously impossible to express in words. If she really described it, it would not be a matter of Brother Chen thinking about his own image, but a matter of his own image as the Linguang Knight being ruined!
So, let him feel what it feels like for himself!
In response, Chen Huijie simply took off his gloves and handed them to Sofia. In the end, he had to find the answer himself.
Sofia moved quickly. After putting on the gloves, she immediately rushed towards Chen Huijie's cheek, and Chen Huijie did not dodge.
So, in the next second, he felt an extremely delicate sensation. The touch through the gauze made people linger and even want to continue to immerse themselves deeper. The old lynx once said that the touch between people is often the simplest and most reassuring action, because it means that they are not alone. Now it seems that this makes sense.
Of course, it would be better if the old lynx could delete 90% of the useless embellishments and metaphors when speaking this passage.
So, the effect of these gloves is simply to amplify perception and thus affect people's mood?
Chen Huijie looked inward at his own state of mind, and a breeze blew across the calm lake, but the wind was not strong enough to ripple the surface of the lake. However, this was not a problem with the gloves, but the result of my dedicated practice.
Ha, this prop is quite interesting.
Chen Huijie had already made a judgment in his heart, and then he looked at Sophia who was rubbing her face vigorously, and said softly:
"Ms. Zofia, has anyone ever told you that the way you touch your face has the potential to be a hooligan?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a knight of the Linguang family. How could I possibly be associated with a gangster?"
Sophia protested with some displeasure:
"Even though you saved my life, that doesn't mean you can tarnish the glorious image of the Linguang family knights."
"..."
Chen Huijie didn't say anything, but just glanced at him silently. Sofia followed his gaze and her cheeks, which had just faded away, became red again. She immediately withdrew her hand, which was still touching and pinching the man's face while she was talking.
"Alright, give me back the gloves. I've figured out their effects. They're a pretty subtle interrogation device."
Sophia, who was taking off her gloves, heard this and immediately widened her eyes. She looked at Chen Huijie, who had an expressionless face, and fell into silence. Regarding this...
You, the Knight of Lin Guang, whose mind is not well cultivated, stop having these random thoughts!
Chen Huijie took the gloves in a bad mood, put them on and slapped the back of Sofia's hand. The sudden pain made Sofia scream and she quickly covered the back of her hand. Now she understood why Chen Huijie thought it was an interrogation prop.
But, besides the pain, it also feels a bit pleasurable... No, I have to make this guy suffer too!
"Give me the gloves."
"Okay, stop playing, there's still business to do."
"No! Gloves! Give them to me! Huh? Where did you hide the gloves?"
"You can't find it, so forget it."
"no!"
Hmm... How long have I been sleeping...? I feel like there's a noise outside. Is it... Aunt Zofia?
Just as Sofia was trying her best to find the gloves, someone woke up from her sleep in the room on the second floor. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her head still in a mess. She staggered open the door, took two steps towards the direction of the sound, lowered her head to look at the first floor, and then she suddenly woke up!
Chapter 098: Where should I show my apology?
Margaret Linguang always felt that her aunt Sophia was a calm, steady and outstanding member of the Linguang family. Strictly speaking, Sophia's surname was not Linguang, because she belonged to a branch of the Linguang family and could not directly use her family's surname.
But this was also during the heyday of the Linguang family. If she wanted to seize the title of Linguang, it might not be difficult with her wealth. However, Sophia did not do so. Margaret knew that it was not only because Aunt Sophia cared about the feelings of the two sisters, but also because she respected and cherished the glory of "Linguang".
Therefore, Margaret respected and loved her aunt very much. Sometimes she thought that it would be better for her uncle, who was like a retired old man, to give up his position as one of the leaders of the Linguang family to Aunt Zofia.
But those were just family gossips. The most important thing was that Margaret truly felt that this aunt, who was about the same age as herself, was a mature elder worthy of respect.
And now, she saw it. Although she could only see half of the body, she could also infer that her aunt, who had always been steady, was rubbing against a young man, with her hands running towards his body, trying to touch him while shouting things like "Don't move", "Give it to me quickly", "Be good and listen to me", "I'm going to be angry".
The key point is that my aunt's tone doesn't sound like she's angry at all. It's like my younger sister was acting like a spoiled child towards her when she was little. Isn't it obvious that my aunt is...
I understand, my aunt has fallen in love with this man, and this man will become my uncle in the future!
Margaret quickly sorted out and analyzed the current situation, nodded thoughtfully, but immediately shook her head. She couldn't make a judgment so rashly. What if they were just friends? If she assisted her aunt, wouldn't they no longer be able to be friends?
Thinking of this, Margaret paid attention to the movement downstairs again. Although they were no longer talking, they were still fighting. Hmm... it was obvious that her aunt was teasing this young man. Although her aunt's left hand was injured, she was also very strong in the past. She had received her guidance before and benefited a lot from it.
Therefore, now that she and the man were sitting so close, there was basically no room for them to move. With her aunt's strength, it would be easy for her to take something from the man.
I didn't expect that my aunt likes to bully others so much, but this is also good. After all, for my aunt, whether it is bullying or being bullied, as long as neither of them is angry, it means that they get along quite happily.
Speaking of this, the gentleman below has a really good temper. In my impression, there are very few men who can smile like this after being teased like this.
...I still think the relationship between these two people is not that normal. It's a pity that I can't see their faces from this angle, otherwise I could infer more from their expressions.
Just as Margaret was quickly thinking, on the side that the little Pegasus couldn't see, Sofia's face was no longer smiling, and her beautiful eyes were full of seriousness. Now it was no longer a matter of turning over the gloves on Chen Huijie, but had risen to a question of the dignity of a competitive knight.
Just now, Zofia felt that every time she attacked, she was interrupted in the middle. The feeling of not being able to exert any strength made her feel extremely uncomfortable. It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but the key point was that it happened every time. Zofia's expression gradually became solemn. Although the man in front of her could create natural disasters with a sword and was very powerful, she couldn't even touch him when he was not holding a sword!
For a moment, the competitive knight's competitive spirit was aroused. She had to give it a try today to see how much difference she had with this person!
Facing Zofia's attack, Chen Huijie couldn't be said to be strolling leisurely, but he could be considered relaxed. This was mainly because he had sparred with Zofia in the previous world line and was very familiar with her attack methods, so it was easier for him to defend than for others.
But this caused a small problem. Chen Huijie didn't want to stay in the apartment any longer because he still had things to do.
But given Sofia's current condition, even if I asked her to stop, she would probably still insist on not giving in. She would probably have to wait for me to come back and catch up on her sleep at night.
If I let her win, she would probably get angry and want to fight me again on the spot to determine the winner.
I'm doing my best... To be honest, they are all brothers, I don't think it's necessary to be so ruthless. Besides, there is still a way to break the deadlock.
Chen Huijie noticed the slight movement coming from the second floor. He used his Qi to gently turn the mirror on the table. The mirror was so big and white... No, it was Margaret who woke up. This made things easy.
While Sofia was about to attack again, Chen Huijie grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. While adjusting the angle of the mirror, he whispered:
"Your niece is awake. Look in the mirror."
Hearing this, Sofia was stunned, then immediately turned her head slightly and saw the situation on the second floor through the reflection of the mirror. Then Chen Huijie smiled slightly and was about to say something like "Let's all stop it together."
As a result, Sofia suddenly did a "pony charge" and crashed into Chen Huijie's arms. At such a close distance, if Chen Huijie had not reacted quickly and suppressed his instinctive true energy to fight back, Sofia would have been sent flying like a skipping stone on the water.
This action made Margaret, who was cautiously approaching the railing and intending to peek in to observe, immediately retract her head. Although it was only for a moment, she still saw the back of her aunt "rushing" towards the man.
This... isn't this a bit too bold, too exciting? You guys dare to hug each other now, I don't dare to imagine what you will do in the future. I... I... I'd better go back to my room and take a nap. If my aunt finds out that I have seen the whole process and feels embarrassed, and deliberately distances herself from this gentleman, then it will not be worth it.
Thinking of this, Margaret immediately tiptoed back to the room, threw herself on the soft big bed, and let out a comfortable sigh. To be honest, she had never slept so comfortably since she was expelled from Casimir. Although she could fully adapt to and endure the life of wandering in the wild, she still felt uncomfortable.
Speaking of which...
Margaret was lying on the bed, hugging the quilt, looking at the drawn curtains and the darkness in the room, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of the natural disaster.
In that storm, even if he drained his body dry and pushed his Originium skills to the limit, he was still trapped in an abyss of despair that seemed to have no end.
Everything was shrouded in a darkness so thick that it was almost tangible. The air was filled with a suffocating heaviness. The light of hope was shaky, and coldness and death could descend upon her at any time.
And in this dead silence, a red light like a sword of God suddenly burst out from the crack in the sky, cutting through the darkness with the force of thunder, instantly lighting up the surroundings, and giving this hopeless place an unprecedented vitality.
Although Margaret was exhausted and unconscious at that time, she still tried her best to look up to see what was happening.
But at that moment, she seemed to see the legendary knight, clad in black, holding a shining holy sword, overcoming terrible difficulties and challenges, and coming before her.
Behind him, light like the rising sun spread out, dyeing the entire space with a brilliant red. The light was bright and although strong and dazzling, it was also warm and full of hope. His figure seemed particularly mysterious against the backdrop of such light, and his face became blurred in the light.
But Margaret could clearly feel that her cold body was trapped in a warm embrace. The unusual warmth made her feel so relieved that she fell into a coma with just a sigh of relief.
...It's hard to imagine, that really wasn't a dream.
Margaret hugged the quilt and turned over in bed, with most of her face sunken in it, only her pair of bright eyes were particularly vivid in the darkness.
Even if I were still alive, it would be hard to imagine that someone could actually rescue me under such circumstances, and... that person must have taken a huge risk to save me. It was a natural disaster, a huge disaster that even a moving city could not withstand. Why would that person be willing to... save me?
Margaret felt her heart beating very fast at this moment. It was probably because she had saved too many people and was suddenly rescued, so she was not used to it. Well, as a knight of the Linguang family, she had to thank her savior very much. Yes, she had to thank him very much.
I just don't know the identity of that savior. Hmm... After that gentleman leaves, I'll go downstairs and ask my aunt. Since she's here, she should know something.
But then again, when did my aunt find a 'friend of the opposite sex'? Why hasn't there been any movement at all? It would be fine if she kept it a secret from others, but why did she even keep it a secret from Maria and me?
Could it be someone Maria and I both know? Who is it? I don't recall anyone around here catching her eye. Hey, it's a shame I didn't get to see their face just now. I might as well go out and take a sneak peek...
Forget it, my aunt is having fun with her friends, so I should just be a good boy. It won’t matter if I ask her later. Phew - I’m still a little sleepy. I’m really tired. I’ll just... take a nap.
Just as Margaret closed her eyes again, in the living room, Sophia knelt on the sofa with a nervous expression, gently patted Chen Huijie's back, and said cautiously:
"Um, you... you're a little weak, hahaha..."
"That's my fault."
Chen Huijie replied angrily, then rubbed his aching chest and continued:
"No, what you did just now was very dangerous. If I had reacted slower, you would be the one screaming in pain now."
"Um...don't look at that..."
"what?"
After noticing Chen Huijie's surprised look, Sophia said in a low voice:
"Margaret's clothes are disheveled, you are not allowed to look at her."
"It's just one of your pajama straps slipping down. How can that be considered untidy? The rules of your Linguang family are really..."
"It's my fault anyway, I will compensate you, don't say anything more."
Sofia quickly interrupted Chen Huijie. Of course, there was no such rule in the Lingguang family. Just now, she must have been angry and didn't want Chen Huijie to see Margaret. It was obvious that the outcome of the battle with her had not yet been decided, so how could he be distracted and pay attention to other things?
"Why don't we go to the hospital and get checked out?"
Sophia suggested with concern:
"You don't have to worry about the medical expenses. If the examination really finds a problem, I will support you for the rest of your life. I won't feel any pressure on my side."
"That's not necessary. I'm not at that point yet."
Chen Huijie waved his hands quickly. He was not trying to be brave. If he was really injured internally this time, he would definitely go to find someone first. But now his internal energy flow was unobstructed. It was just a simple flesh wound. There was nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I'm almost done resting here. It's time to go out to work. If you go out this afternoon, remember to tell Margaret about the renovations. Now I'm leaving."
After saying that, Sofia felt that her hands were free, and Chen Huijie's figure floated to the window and then disappeared.
Ugh!!! How embarrassing!!!
Then, Sofia held her head with both hands, curled up on the sofa, and her ears drooped. Now thinking back, what happened at noon was so messy. It was not something I would do. It was so embarrassing!
"But I appreciate you more just now... a young Miss Kuranta. I feel that you are more lively that way."
At this moment, Chen Huijie's words suddenly echoed in Sofia's mind. The horse girl was stunned for a moment, then picked up the mirror beside her and looked at her reflection in it.
Would it make him appreciate the real me more?
Sofia stared at the mirror in a trance, and then, as if she had thought of something, her drooping ears slowly stood up and trembled slightly a few times.
Then, even though there was no one else here, she coughed unnaturally. Sofia looked upstairs carefully for a few times, and after making sure that there was no one there, she immediately took out her mobile phone, thought for a while, and typed "How can a girl apologize to a boy to appear more sincere" in the search bar.
That's right, if a woman from the Linguang family does something wrong, she'll sincerely apologize... Eh? Um, do I have to wear something like this to apologize, and... even show it?!
Wait, is there something wrong with Longmen's search server? Why does it feel like the atmosphere here is even more unrestrained than our Casimir? Or am I just out of date and can't keep up with the thinking of today's young people...
I'm not out of fashion, I'm still young, I am a young person! This dress... buy it!
Chapter 099: An Suo: Gu! Spare me!
After Chen Huijie left the apartment, he began to prepare for the next move. Although the leader of the Longmen gang is the Rat King, the underground forces of Longmen are still very chaotic. If Longmen's laws and regulations are to be implemented, they are an unavoidable trouble.
However, Chen Huijie's situation and the way he handled it back then couldn't be applied to Longmen today. Speaking of which... it was a bit of a joke. Although the Reunion Movement and the Ursus invasion had caused unimaginable damage to Longmen, it also alleviated the pressure on the suppression of Longmen's underground forces...
Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to think about this kind of thing anymore. If it happens again, I can’t let the war ignite Longmen again.
Thinking of this, Chen Huijie silently grasped the hilt of his longsword, stroking it gently, his face solemn as he lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. In the end, he sighed helplessly, took out the [Mad Devil Blood Wine], and took a sip.
It’s better to strengthen your body first. If the world reaches that bad point again, you might have to rely on yourself to destroy the mobile city of Ursus that started the war.
Ok?
Chen Huijie, who was standing on the rooftop digesting the effects of the blood wine, looked down and saw a familiar figure flashing on the street. It was the killer's mother. It seemed that this person was quite obedient and was following his instructions, moving through the streets of Longmen.
