Chapter 61 Chapter Nineteen

Between the sky and the earth, it seems that there are only two of us left.The sky was blue, and the surroundings were so quiet that one could feel flustered. "Maybe it's not convenient for you to say it, but what happened?" After questioning, Miss Daozi revealed everything unexpectedly. "——I was driving Aikeloui that day, and I happened to hear a woman screaming in front of Guasheng's villa. I wondered what happened? I took a closer look, and saw that the tutor in front of the courtyard was talking with Mr. Guasheng pushed into a ball. I wanted to pretend that I didn’t see anything and leave, but the woman fell to the ground. I couldn’t help but dismounted and approached, and found that Mr. Guasheng was completely panicked. Around—how should I put it Well, in short, it’s just an art scene with beauties scattered about it. Mr. Gua Sheng waited until everyone went climbing, let the woman see those photos, and then, it seemed that he asked the other party to let him shoot an art film.”

I have vaguely thought about such a result.But when I actually heard it, it made me feel an indescribable disgust.I'm by no means doubting his intentions in making so-called art films.Mr. Gua Sheng is a person who loves photography.But forcing someone who is unwilling and weak is really unforgivable. Miss Daozi, who saw this side of her fiancé with her own eyes, must be even more disgusted. "—As a result, the woman never stood up again. She sniffed at her, and she was no longer breathing. Mr. Guasheng just stood there dumbfounded." "If it were me, I would definitely turn around and leave, and never see him again."

"If it was someone else, I might take other actions." But now that marriage has been discussed between the two families, it would be difficult for her to do so. "But, Miss Daozi didn't do that, and she planned to protect Mr. Guasheng..." Miss Daozi shook her head. "Absolutely not." "what?" "To be clear, I think this man is indeed a bad horse. And what happened is like I caught the bad horse by the tail." "That's why I was thinking, I want to grab his tail and play this poor horse around." "Moreover, I also hope that when the woman's family members ask about the reason, they can give them a more appropriate and convincing reason. Even if it is a reason like 'fainted in the room without paying attention', it doesn't matter. If it was true—but, Mr. Guasheng felt guilty in his heart. The most important thing was that I saw the truth. So I told him that just when the two of them were alone, the woman stopped breathing, so No matter how you explain, the family members will find it weird. Even if you accept it on the surface, doubts like a thick fog will still hover in the hearts of family members and servants. Moreover, if someone dies suddenly, you must call the police. At that time, Mr. Guasheng will Had to stay in the police station and be investigated. Forced to sit on a hard chair, yelled at and interrogated."

"Hearing your words, the confused Mr. Guasheng can only agree—afterwards, he will honestly follow Miss Daozi's plan." "That's right." I breathed out. "Indeed, on the way to watch a movie, and passed out in front of the prosecutor, anyone who heard it would only think it was an ordinary accident." Miss Daozi said calmly: "—The dead can no longer be brought back to life. I want him to promise me that he will at least apologize to her relatives. Let's just say that it's all his fault for showing Miss Jingguan a movie about snakes. Anyway, it doesn't matter. No matter how much money you spend, it’s not going to hurt or itch for the Guasheng family.”

Miss Daozi looked up at Baiyun. "Is there anything else you want to ask me?" "Just one thing..." "What's up?" "Even so, do you still plan to marry Mr. Guasheng?" Miss Daozi's tone remained unchanged. "...This time, it was just an ordinary accident. There is no reason to refuse." "As long as you cry to your father and say no, wouldn't that be enough?" After a while, Miss Daozi said: "...I, I feel that I am also a bad horse. So I don't plan to wait until the thousand-mile horse appears in front of me. Instead, I think that a bad horse that has already caught its tail is easier to control."

She stared at me intently. "Frankly speaking, I don't hate Yurika-san—probably as a toy who gets annoyed by his slow movements and occasionally wants to throw him against the wall. Like that Yurika Compared with Mr. Guasheng, I don't think Mr. Guasheng is any better. I also think that Mr. Guasheng is a person who talks a lot of lies. However, it doesn't matter to marry him. Because if I marry into Guasheng's family, I can live the same life as I am now. Compared with the Kirihara family, the life is no less inferior-to tell you, I like painting very much. Paintings always touch my heart. Once I become the wife of the Guasheng family, I can buy the paintings I like as I like. In the future, I want to use the collected paintings to open a small art gallery and create a world that belongs only to me."

Then she asked an unexpected question. "Have you seen Chaplin's 'City Lights'?" "some." "At our family's movie screening, this movie was shown." In the past, His Majesty the Emperor even visited Kirihara Mansion in person, so all kinds of welcome facilities in the mansion are very complete.Now it seems that noble adults are often invited to hold movie screenings. Miss Daozi's expression seemed to be recalling the scene at that time. "In the last scene, Virginia Cherry, whose eyes were restored to light, was probably in a flower shop. Then, Chaplin, who had gone through all kinds of hardships and raised medical expenses for her, happened to pass by— ——It’s all in tatters and desolation. Since Virginia was blind before, she always thought that the one who saved her was a rich young gentleman. She smiled when she saw Chaplin’s appearance. Then, in order to give him money, she took his hand. From the touch of the palm she was holding, she realized that the person who saved her was actually the man in front of her."

"I remember that too." "The narrator shouted loudly, which is the most touching part of the whole play. However, when I watched this scene, the performance of the orchestra and the voice of the narrator disappeared from my ears. I only saw and found the truth There was an indescribable loathing and hatred on Virginia's face." Suddenly, a dragonfly flew past the eyes briskly.How could it fly to such a high place?I saw it parked on the black rock as if adsorbed. Miss Daozi went on to say: "——'You took away my dream and killed the gentleman in my heart.' Her expression seemed to be so disgusting. The other audience simply pressed the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs. After everyone went back, , I asked someone to play it again - let me watch the last scene. No need for a narrator - people in our family were not surprised, thinking 'Miss, are you so moved?' Because, that's' The famous scene'. However, when I watched it for the second time, Virginia's expression was completely different. Her expression was not as frightened as I saw at the beginning. Not only that, but she even took Chaplin's hand Stick it on your heart."

The dragonfly clings to the rock, motionless. "—That is to say, I have seen my own heart. That is to say, 'the dream I had, the truth is nothing more than this', and on the other hand, it also means that 'even if a beloved person appears in the real world In front of me, I will only be a tramp in rags'—so all I can meet are bad horses.—And in the eyes of the thousand-mile horse, I am nothing but a bad horse." Miss Daozi stood up lightly and turned her back to me. Perhaps frightened by this action, the dragonfly flew upwards and away from the rock.Then it stopped at a fixed point, vibrating its transparent wings, and finally flew away as if being carried away by the wind.

When she faced me again, Ms. Daozi had turned back into the daughter of the Kirihara family who couldn't express her emotions. "Okay, let's go." After walking up from the low-lying place, I saw Betsy's white uniform.Miss Daozi waved to her cheerfully, and then said to Becky who was approaching, "Excuse me, could you please empty the food basket just now and bring it here?" Betsy turned her head to the side. "What's wrong?" Ms. Daozi said briskly: "—I saw Asama grapes among the rocks. Let's go and pick them."
