Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Farewell, Romeo

After Liuxia's injury stabilized, Alfonso took her back to his castle.Over the past few days, she has recovered quickly, and now she can do some simple movements with her right hand.And Camilla and Shizuka also often took time to visit her, and took all the class notes here, so that she could keep abreast of the school's dynamics and teaching progress while recuperating. With the encouragement and help of the two of them, Liu Xia naturally became more confident.But for some reason, she always felt that since last week, Camilla seemed to have hidden a lot of thoughts, and she was always alone in a daze for no reason, and sometimes she didn't even respond to her calls.Liu Xia's intuition might have something to do with Professor Julio, but since the other party didn't want to take the initiative to tell, she was too embarrassed to ask more.

"Liu Xia, do you know? Camilla accidentally fell into the water last week." Shizuka showed a rare gossip expression. "Could it be that...Camilla can't swim?" Seeing Shizuka nodding with a smile, Liu Xia was very surprised. Camilla, who is as brave as a descendant of a pirate, can't swim? "But fortunately, a hero came to rescue this time." Shizuka covered her mouth and smiled, "This hero is Professor Julio." Liu Xia raised her eyebrows, "Heh... I don't know if this is fate?" "Anyway, I won't believe in fate." Camilla's face was a little embarrassed, and she reiterated again, "I won't believe it at all."

"Eh? Isn't Professor Julio's drenched appearance very sexy?" Liu Xia still teased her. "I heard that the professor wore a white shirt that day..." Shizuka showed an ambiguous expression that was silent. "Okay, you two have had enough." Camilla shook her head helplessly, "If I had a choice, I would really rather he didn't jump into the water to save me. In that case, I wouldn't see..." She Suddenly, he seemed to realize something again, stopped his mouth in a hurry, and changed the subject, "By the way, what happened between you and Alfonso? I saw him in the garden just now, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. To be honest , I thought he was unreliable before, but now it seems that at least he is sincere to you."

There was a bitter taste in Liu Xia's heart.Since the last time, every time Alfonso came to visit her, she treated him with a very cold attitude, and asked him many times to move out of here, and almost every time he irritated him.Even she herself didn't know what kind of state of mind it was, she always seemed to be trying to avoid something. At this moment, Shizuka's cell phone rang suddenly.She picked up the phone, and when she heard the other party's voice, she immediately lowered her face, said a few words in Japanese softly but firmly, and then turned off the phone. "Jingxiang, are you okay?" Liu Xia noticed that her face became ugly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little trouble at home." Shizuka rolled up a smile that didn't mean anything, "But I think it will be resolved soon." Not long after Camilla and Shizuka left, another uninvited visitor came to Liuxia's room.Romeo was reclining at the door in a graceful posture, with his hands crossed and encircled in front of his chest, his warm golden hair shone like golden sand under the reflection of the setting sun, and his eyes looking at her were full of virginity. Compassion and sadness. "Romeo? Why are you here?" Seeing that it was him who came, Liu Xia felt a little happy in his heart.He hadn't appeared since he escaped from danger in Angel Castle last time.Romeo had put on a grinning expression when he came in, "I've been busy recently, so I haven't come to see you. I heard you're recovering well?"

Liu Xia nodded, and tried hard to bend the fingers of her right hand, "It's simply wonderful. Look, my fingers have become much more flexible." "Liuxia..." Romeo walked in front of her, wrapped her fingers tightly with his slender hands, "I'm sorry, it was because I reacted too slowly that I got you shot so fatally... " The cynical smile on his face has long since disappeared, replaced by deep pity and heartache. "It's none of your business." Liu Xia quickly shook his head, "I should thank you, you were the one who heard the Roman Holiday song and then guessed my code word, right?"

Romeo's face seemed to be covered with an indistinct mist, "Liuxia, that's what he guessed. Roman Holiday is also a movie he used to like very much." Liu Xia was slightly taken aback, not knowing what to say for a while. "I know you've been cold to him lately. It's not fair to him." Romeo sighed. "When you were captured by Mirante, he was sadder than anyone else. When you were unconscious, he He is more anxious than anyone else, when you are in the operating room, he is more nervous than anyone else. Do you know? Originally, your right hand was going to be amputated, otherwise your life would be in danger."

"Amputation?" A chill came from Liu Xia's back. "Yes, should you keep your dreams or your life? He wanted both because of his greed, so he had to ask the doctor Nesta who performed the surgery on you. But Nesta had already had a grudge with him in the early years , so he refused his help immediately." Romeo's tone was soothing and calm, but there was an indescribable sentimentality, "For you, he actually knelt down to that doctor, but even so, that doctor still made things difficult for him, what did he say? Unless he stabs himself with a knife, he promises to save you if he is still alive at dawn."

"What!" Liu Xia's face was already moved when she heard him kneeling down, and when she heard this again, she couldn't help but sat up excitedly from the bed. "He did it without hesitation. Fortunately, he didn't die, so your operation went smoothly. Although the effect is not as good as expected, at least you can still have complete hands and hope." Romeo looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through her soul, "Liu Xia, there may be many kinds of emotions in this world, and there may be many different ways of expressing them, but I still feel that the one who sacrifices the most is the one who loves." deepest."

Liu Xia was completely stunned there, thoughts were spinning in her head, and there seemed to be a burning feeling in her heart. He actually knelt down to someone else for her?What a humiliating thing this was for him. He actually risked his life for her, what kind of feelings does this have for him? Can't believe it, can't believe it... Is this really the noble and proud, cold and cruel Earl? When she came back to her senses again, she found that Romeo had left.There is also a piece of heart-shaped chocolate left by him on the table, which is Liu Xia's favorite Italian brand.She slowly unwrapped the chocolate, picked it up and took a bite.The sweet taste that melts in the mouth is still as good as in memory.

Sweet and slightly bitter. "Liu Xia, can I come in?" Margaret's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.It was only after Liu Xia moved back that the countess knew that something had happened to her teacher.The little guy also comes here very frequently every day, whenever he has time, he will come and walk around, sometimes chatting with her, sometimes talking about interesting things, in short, he is thoughtful.And I don't know when, Margaret started calling her by her first name directly. After hearing Liu Xia's answer, Margaret pushed the door open with a smile, holding a handful of beautiful hyacinths in her hand.Since returning to the castle, Alfonso has ordered a different bouquet of flowers from the florist to be delivered to her room every day.Of course, these flowers will undergo strict inspection before entering the castle. "Teacher, do you feel better?" Margaret asked as she stood on tiptoe and inserted the hyacinth into the frosted bottle, "This is just delivered from the flower shop today, if you feel bored, just look at these The flowers are ready. " "Thank you, Margaret." Liu Xia faintly smelled the light floral fragrance flowing in the air, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart.Hyacinth must rely on the continuous migration of seeds to continue its own life, and human life sometimes wanders in the world just like this hyacinth, meeting and parting with different people.Some people just pass by like this, while some people are destined to be entangled for a lifetime. "By the way, Margaret, how is your father recently?" She asked tentatively.What Romeo said just now made her feel uneasy all the time. "Not good." Margaret frowned. "Father's chest injury seems to be getting worse and worse. I saw him bleeding just now, and his face was so bad that he couldn't even stand still..." Hearing what she said, Liu Xia felt even more restless.Could it be that Alfonso hasn't been here these days because of his serious injury? How serious is it?Anyway, he suffered such an inexplicable knife to help her. "I don't know when Dad will get better. I'm really worried about Dad." Margaret blinked her long eyelashes, "Teacher, what do you think?" Liu Xia faltered and mumbled a few words to comfort the other party, and then Marguerite said something, but she hardly listened to anything, and was always thinking about Alfonso in her mind. If Alfonso has any mishaps because of this, isn't it all her fault? With such a mood, shortly after Marguerite left, she got up and quietly left the room, walking towards Alfonso's bedroom.When passing by the study, she heard Alfonso's voice coming from inside, so she pushed open the door without thinking. "Liu Xia? Why did you come here?" Alfonso was obviously surprised by her sudden appearance.And the other person in the study ----- Romeo also bent the corner of his mouth meaningfully. Liu Xia didn't say anything, and immediately glanced at his chest, only to see a white bandage protruding from the slightly opened skirt.This shocking whiteness made her heart tremble, as if something gentle began to grow slowly in her heart; it also seemed that there was a curl of misty air slowly rising, making her eyes gradually hazy. Was that wound just for her? What kind of emotion can make him stab the sharp blade here? Her thoughts began to become confused, as if she couldn't understand her thoughts more and more. There is a bottomless abyss in the deepest part of everyone's heart. In the darkest places at the bottom of the abyss are often the most secretive things But sometimes it is not easy to see the most intimate things in your heart. "Liu Xia, what's the matter with you? Why don't you just stay in the room obediently?" Alfonso's deep voice sounded again, pulling her back from her trance. "I..." Liu Xia paused, "I heard from Margaret that your injury..." Speaking of this, she suddenly noticed something.Although it is true that Alfonso was injured, his spirit does not look bad, and it is not as serious as what Margaret said, let alone he can't even stand firmly... Then It's too exaggerated. "You mean this?" Alfonso pulled his collar casually to cover the exposed bandage.He glanced at Romeo and then turned to Liuxia, with a faint gleam in his eyes, "Don't worry, I'm fine, the wound has healed." Liu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little annoyed, this fellow Margaret easily lied to herself once again. But what is the purpose of such a lie?Is it just to get her to come here? If she didn't know that his injury was getting worse, she would never take the initiative to visit him anyway. "Maybe I should go back, otherwise it will spoil such a good atmosphere." Romeo interjected with a smile.As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly.When Romeo heard the voice from the microphone, his face suddenly changed. "Okay, I will accept this challenge." After saying this, he simply hung up the phone. "What happened?" Alfonso immediately sensed that something was wrong. Romeo smiled, and his tone was calm as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, "It's Mirante's subordinate Zola, he said... a bomb was placed in the basement of Lorenzo's private art gallery, It will be detonated in an hour. He wants to compete with me, whether I can defuse the bomb the fastest or his bomb can blow up the entire museum as planned." Liu Xia was already pale in shock, but Alfonso still maintained his composure, "So you accepted this challenge?" "Defusing the bomb is a piece of cake for me." Romeo shrugged and raised his eyebrows with a smile. "I'll go there now. You just need to prepare Russian vodka for the evening." "Romeo, this time you bring a communicator. Let me know the situation at any time and send someone to support you." Alfonso raised his eyebrows. "You'd better be careful. The other party is also a master of bombs after all." "Boss, don't you still trust me?" Romeo looked at his watch with a smile, "There are still 55 minutes. I should be able to arrive at the art gallery in half an hour, and then I can get everything done in 20 minutes, and use the rest five minutes for a cup of hot coffee." "Turn on the intercom when you get there," Alfonso told him again. "Boss, you are very strange today. I have never seen you so worried before. Haha, I know why. Don't worry, I will not let your precious ones suffer any loss." Romeo said with a smile. "Compared with those babies, I would rather have a drink with you at night." Alfonso bent his lips, "Romeo, you are very important to us, so you must cherish your life." Romeo was slightly taken aback, then turned his head suddenly, as if he was afraid of exposing his truest expression to everyone.When he turned around, his eyes were still moist. "Then, wait for my good news." When he said this, he looked at Liu Xia. Liu Xia originally wanted to tell him to be careful, but after hesitating for a moment, the other party had already disappeared. Half an hour later, Romeo was already in the basement of the art gallery.With his vast experience and knowledge, he quickly found what he wanted to find. "Boss, I think I can end everything in ten minutes. Although the bomb exploded with great power, it shouldn't be too difficult to dismantle it." Romeo called the intercom. "Is there really no problem?" Alfonso seemed a little skeptical, "But the other party has gone through so much trouble and finally prepared a bomb that is not too difficult, which is a bit weird. You'd better be careful." "No problem. But the electromagnetic wave may affect the demolition work, so I will temporarily cut off the connection with the outside world. I will open it again after the end." Romeo opened the toolbox. "Okay." Alfonso nodded. There was silence in the basement of the art museum, only the slight sound of the cold wind blowing could be heard faintly.Romeo started the demolition work skillfully as usual.Although the design of the bombs is very exquisite, to him, these bombs are like little lovers with different personalities, as long as they can get their tempers right, they can be obedient. Time passed by every minute and every second, and the demolition work was proceeding in an orderly manner. When all the demolition work was completed, Romeo looked at his watch, and there was still one minute before the explosion. "Looks like there's no time for coffee." He muttered to himself and put the tools back.But at this moment, the disconnected circuit suddenly started to work again, and there was a set of spare electrodes hidden under the battery box of the bomb! This is not difficult for Romeo, as long as the main wire of the bomb is cut off.But it also surprised him, it seems that this time it is indeed a match.He had just picked up the tool again when a strange clown popped out of a small black box next to the bomb.What is even more incredible is that the clown actually spoke! "Mr. Romeo? It stands to reason that dismantling the bomb I designed is very good. However, in order to improve the entertainment of this challenge, I also added an interesting mini-game. Actually, the bomb planted this time is not There is only one, and a miniature bomb has been mixed into Alfonso's castle. Although the lethality is not too strong, it is still no problem to kill someone. As for who will win the prize, I don't know. Maybe it's just a servant , maybe no one, maybe Alfonso's woman, maybe he himself... The location of the bomb will be displayed on the LCD screen 10 seconds before the bomb explodes. Oh! Of course, as long as you cut the leading You can continue to live by yourself. Mr. Killer, what would you choose? Of course, you can also choose not to believe me. I am looking forward to the final result. Alright, the countdown has begun." The pupils tightened suddenly, and the tool in Romeo's hand fell to the ground with a bang. For an instant, all time seemed to stand still.In a short moment, many fragmentary fragments and many unforgettable people floated in his mind like thin ice: his mother who died young, his father who died in vain, Parker, the first friend in his life, like an elder brother. Mr. Earl, and... that girl who smiles again even when she is sad. The picture kept receding like a projector, and finally froze on a winter morning. There was no sunshine or rainbow that day, but it was the brightest time in his memory. So far, he still remembers how the black-haired man walked up to him, how he smiled and said to him, "Welcome, Romeo. I am A." Without any more hesitation, he quickly turned on the intercom, and the clown at the side started counting down the time with a strange tone. "20, 19, 18,..." "Boss, don't talk yet, listen to me. A miniature bomb has been mixed into your castle now." "13, 12, 11, . . . "In the hyacinths delivered today... "7, 6, 5,..." "Promise me, you and Liu Xia will work hard to survive." "0." -----------game over.
