At this moment, Tallulah stood at the door, feeling nervous and worried.
She was planning on telling a lie, but she was also afraid. She was worried that she would reveal her insincerity and be seen through, leading to an embarrassing and tragic situation.
Normally, she hardly ever felt fear, but when it came to Miss White Wolf, it was hard to say.
For a moment, she hoped that the amber door in front of her would never open, so as to postpone the torture that belonged to her alone.
The next moment, the door opened slightly.
Tallulah stood there in a daze, seeing the person she had been thinking about day and night appear before her like in a dream. Her ebony-black eyes still showed the familiar, clear and gentle gaze.
Miss Dragon Girl was in a daze, and Miss White Wolf didn't speak either, and a strange silence appeared between the two of them.
However, the latter didn't speak because of something else. Miss White Wolf was obviously attracted by something. After observing for a while, she tapped Miss Dragon Girl's shoulder in confusion.
"You seem to have grown taller."
Tallulah came to her senses and was confused. She subconsciously followed the other person's words and said, "No, I stopped growing taller several years ago."
Miss White Wolf asked suspiciously, "Really? You promise not to lie to me?"
"Have I lied to you?"
"You have the nerve to say that. You are really good at lying."
Tallulah suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago. She clearly wanted to kiss Miss White Wolf, but she had to fool her in a serious manner, saying that what she did was Victorian etiquette.
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her gaze towards Miss White Wolf became softer.
After a careful inspection, Miss White Wolf pointed at Dragon Girl's feet and said with sudden enlightenment: "I understand, Xiaota, you are wearing high-heeled boots. You are taller than me, and you are wearing this."
"I'm not taller than you anyway." Miss Dragon Girl responded easily. At this moment, she had already forgotten the 'mission' she had planned before.
"Huh, Xiaota, your ability to tell lies with open eyes is getting better and better!"
"No, I'm following your comparison method. The height of the Lupo must include the ears, and the height of the Drak is not allowed to include the horns. If we compare them this way, aren't you taller than me?"
Miss White Wolf heard the other party's teasing tone and immediately became anxious: "You are not allowed to use this method. Do you listen to my nonsense?"
"Of course I will listen to whatever the little white wolf says."
"Hey, hey, don't add adjectives casually, it's White Wolf, you're really going too far."
"Um, I suddenly want to hug the little white wolf, is that okay?"
Miss White Wolf gnashed her teeth and said, "You, you're still screaming, you're not allowed to hold me."
However, Miss Dragon did not pay attention to the other party's protest. She skillfully held Miss Rupert in her arms and restricted her movements with her tail.
The latter stamped her feet anxiously, trying to push away the unreasonable female companion, but the Draco was obviously stronger. After the attempt failed, Miss Rupert could only find another way: "You, you let go, the door is not closed properly."
Miss Longmen didn't intend to let go: "It doesn't matter, there's only a crack in the door, people outside definitely can't see it, and you're on the far left, no one will come over."
"I don't care, just go and close the door."
"Can I just close it?"
"Close it first."
Miss Dragon Girl kissed White Wolf on the cheek and whispered, "Okay, I'll go close the door."
Chapter 2023 Differences 01-30-12 00:05:
The amber door was slowly closed, and the moment it closed, Tallulah suddenly thought of her previous plan.
Shouldn't I make up a reason to say goodbye to Miss White Wolf and try to shorten the time we spend together?
But what she actually did didn't seem to be right... No, it wasn't just wrong, in terms of the effect, it was almost the exact opposite.
Tallulah realized that one thing had undoubtedly happened—she had been influenced by Miss White Wolf.
This influence occurred completely unconsciously and naturally, and she couldn't help but have a somewhat strange thought: What if Miss White Wolf was her opponent?
Facing an enemy who attacks silently, do you have a chance of winning?
While she was lost in thought, she closed the door and determined her next strategy based on the current situation. From now on, she would always keep a distance from Miss White Wolf until she left.
Then, Miss White Wolf discovered that Tallulah, who closed the door, was different from before.
She observed carefully and noticed that the other person's expression seemed to become serious, but not the kind of natural seriousness that comes when encountering an important event. It was more like he was forcing solemnity, which gave people a slightly stiff feeling.
In fact, for strangers, there is nothing wrong with such seriousness, and it is normal for people to have stiff expressions when they are serious. But Miss White Wolf is too familiar with Tallulah, so she can notice such subtle abnormalities in her expression.
She found out, but she didn't say anything and even pretended not to know.
Because she inferred from this abnormality that Xiaota might be hiding something, she was very curious about what could have caused a person to change so drastically in just a few seconds.
She carefully observed Miss Dragon Girl's expression, even her breathing slowed down, and her tail wagged gently, like a curious kitten that had found interesting prey.
Tallulah fixed her eyes on the brown velvet carpet. She took a deep breath and said in a desperate tone, "White Wolf, I suddenly remembered something..."
"What are you looking at?"
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter, but time is very tight..."
"I asked you what you were looking at."
Miss White Wolf's eyes were filled with excitement. She bent down in delight, got close to Miss Dragon Girl's face, and repeated, "I asked you what you were looking at!"
A faint fragrance accompanied by the moist breath came to her face. In a trance, Talula saw Miss White Wolf right in front of her, looking at her with a sweet smile. The smile was gentle, but with a hint of cunning and complacency. She felt a dryness in her throat, and she was eager to touch that soft body and rosy lips.
Miss Dragon Girl turned her face away and closed her eyes to avoid the white wolf. She took a deep breath, and when she exhaled, she felt her arms trembling slightly. This unpredictable, intense and terrifying desire made her secretly frightened.
She felt like she had a serious problem. It was fine when she was alone, but as long as she was around Miss White Wolf, that instinctive fire would begin to try to control her mind.
Her heart longed for something, but she was confused about what to do. At the same time, she had a strong premonition that it didn't matter if she didn't know what to do, because there were some things that seemed to require no learning, and it was enough to follow the guidance of instinct.
"Hey, Xiaota, you don't look normal today." Miss White Wolf came very close.
I am indeed abnormal, Tallulah thought, so White Wolf, please don’t come any closer. She grabbed the corner of the chair tightly, suppressed her restless emotions, and responded: "It's okay, I'm normal."
"You just said something wrong."
"I didn't hear what you said."
"Well, apart from what happened just now, you're also acting weird right now."
"where?"
"You spoke a little hastily. Also, I was in front of you, but you turned your face away."
"..."
"Why don't you answer?"
"..."
"Ok?"
"..."
"Xiaota, Xiaota, speak."
"..."
"Hey, you're not shy, it's strange, you're not blushing."
After Miss White Wolf finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Tallulah's gaze had moved to her. For some reason, she had a very bad feeling and took a few steps back.
"Do you really want to know?" Tallulah's voice sounded quite suppressed.
"No, not at all." Miss White Wolf replied hastily, hiding behind the desk. She smelled something terrible.
Tallulah stared at White Wolf for a while, then turned her head and let out a long breath. She was sure in her heart that she had to leave. Her own immunity to Miss White Wolf was negative, and the other party just happened to have a talent for tormenting people. She couldn't guarantee that she would always be sober and rational.
But before saying goodbye, she needed to ask a few last questions. Just as White Wolf was keeping an eye on the Reunion Movement, Tallulah was also keeping an eye on Ice Stone's situation.
She sat down on the chair, calmed down, and said calmly: "White Wolf, I want to know how you are doing in Bingshi recently."
Seeing that Tallulah wanted to talk about serious matters, White Wolf felt relieved and sat down on the desk, swinging his legs leisurely. "Sure, I'll tell you later. What brought you here to the Marquis today? We've been talking for so long, it must be quite troublesome."
"It's okay. It's just a small incident. It's not worth mentioning. I saw some information about the Business Federation in the meeting room. Your recent events are not related to them, right?"
"You guessed it right. It just happened to involve the Business Federation."
Hearing Miss White Wolf's affirmative answer, Tallulah became really anxious.
Casimir was once an enemy of Ursus. Although the two countries have stopped fighting in recent years, they have never stopped being on guard against and infiltrating each other. Tallulah was trained by the Duke of the Empire since she was a child and knew Casimir very well, so she was aware of the dangers of the Chamber of Commerce very early on.
She asked anxiously, "White Wolf, what on earth is going on that actually involves Casimir?"
White Wolf smiled at Miss Dragon Girl and said easily: "It's okay, it's just a small incident, not worth mentioning."
How could Tallulah tolerate the other party's indifferent attitude? She grabbed the White Wolf's hand and said sternly: "How can you say that this matter is not worth mentioning? Do you know that it may be dangerous?"
Miss White Wolf still had a gentle smile on her face, and she gently stroked Miss Dragon Girl's hair with her left hand that was not caught: "So, my business is important, my safety is important, but your business is not important, your safety is not important?"
Her smile gradually faded, and her soft voice was tinged with sadness: "Xiaota, tell me, is your matter, the matter of the Integration Movement, just a small matter, not worth mentioning?"
Chapter 2023 Lies 01-31-12 00:02:
It was not until this moment that Tallulah realized that Miss White Wolf had simply repeated what she had said verbatim.
It's okay, it was just a small incident, not worth mentioning.
She was too focused on Miss White Wolf, and all her energy was spent worrying about her and the problems of the Chamber of Commerce, so she overlooked something so obvious.
Miss White Wolf is worried about her, Miss White Wolf is worried about her affairs.
You easily discovered my problem, discovered the inequality between us, but do you understand? I would rather maintain this inequality, I always remember that you have died for me once.
In Tallulah's silence, Miss White Wolf spoke in a low voice, as if talking to herself.
"Xiaota, you know my past, right? You've seen part of it, and I've told you about it before. I was a bounty hunter in Columbia, an operator in Rhodes Island, and later worked for the mafia in Lungmen."
"You know very well that I am not a flower that needs to be protected, nor am I a piece of porcelain for display. Although you are definitely stronger, I am not much worse. I used to be a swordsmanship coach in the organization."
"My sword is the one you gave me. It is a noble ceremonial sword. Outsiders think it is just a beautiful decoration, but only I know that it is one of the best swords in the world. I remember it was once the sword of that duke."
"It accompanied me through many difficult times and helped me defeat many difficult enemies. I regarded it as a treasure, but later, I gradually found that I used it less and less."
"It seems to have become a real aristocratic sword, like the kind that Victorian nobles wore around their waists, always with them but never unsheathed. It is becoming more and more like a decoration as its appearance suggests."
"Xiaota, what do you think about this?"
Tallulah's silence finally ended. She looked at Miss White Wolf quietly and shook her head: "White Wolf, I'm very happy that you can tell me so much. Please believe me, I completely understand what you mean. I can assure you first that I have never regarded you as a vase."
"In my heart, you have always been my guide. I have found the answers to my confusions and my mysteries in you. Without you, there would be no me today, and there would be no integration movement today."
"At the same time, you are also my favorite person. I can't describe the feeling of seeing you, nor can I control my emotions. In short, as long as you are here, my eyes can only surround you, just like a person must breathe."
As Miss White Wolf listened, she suddenly realized that Tallulah had led the topic to a very bad place. She felt happy, but also shy. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she quickly interrupted her:
"Okay, okay, let's just consider it a reconciliation. I have no problem with that. I will explain the matter of the Business Federation to you. Now you are willing to tell me about the Integration Movement, right?"
She heard a firm yet soft response.
"Do not."
Miss White Wolf stood there in a daze, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
After a long while, she asked blankly, "You said no?"
Tallulah stared into White Wolf's eyes and nodded slowly: "No, even so, White Wolf, I will never let you touch the Integration Movement again."
"Why? Just for the so-called safety? We are walking in the world, entering this world, does true safety really exist?"
"Perhaps not."
"Xiaota, you clearly know it yourself."
"I know, but I have to try my best."
"I don't know."
"You don't understand..." Tallulah suddenly chuckled, but her tone was filled with dark and rich bitterness.
"Do you remember Neiwei? That day, I took you away from the tundra. I kept talking to you, but you didn't answer. I told myself that you were asleep. My hands were covered in blood. The world was black and red. I wanted to cry. I hated myself. I was going crazy. I thought that no one would call me Xiaota anymore, so I walked into the city step by step."
"Before, I always felt that I had been through too much and had long since become indifferent to everything. Then, when I met you, I found that I was afraid of something. I was afraid that you would hate me. After experiencing that day, I understood what true fear felt like."
"I have the answer in my heart. Your safety is more important than anything else. For this, I must do something no matter what. Even if you dislike me or even lose me, I am willing to do it. White Wolf, forgive my cowardice. I don't want to experience such a thing again in my life. I don't want to experience the feeling of being worse off than death."
"You know what? Before I came here, I was outside thinking about whether or not I should meet you. I wanted to leave directly, but I found that I couldn't do it. I had to see you, so I came. At the same time, I was thinking, and I am still thinking now. It's better for me to leave as soon as possible."
