Cesar had already put away his violent expression at this time, and after hearing Ye He's words, his eyes showed some doubts at the right time.
Ye He had already figured out the other party's secret of pretending to be blind, so he knew that Cesar in front of him had already started to perform. All he had to do was cooperate obediently: "I think the person in the portrait is somewhat similar to me."
In addition to having the intention of fooling Cesar, Ye He was really curious about these portraits and how he imagined them. If it weren't for the fact that the clothes of the people in these portraits were completely different from what he was wearing, Ye He would even suspect that Cesar had someone to paint them because he had a crush on him.
Moreover, Ye He suspected that Cesar asked the housekeeper to find him because of this similar portrait. After thinking about it from his perspective, Ye He felt that Cesar was also brave and not afraid at all that he might be a ghost who had lived for a hundred years. If he saw that Cesar's portrait was the same as the person from a hundred years ago, even if Even if he hadn't fainted, he would have been frightened to the point of trembling.
The system naturally heard Ye He's heartbeat and felt that the other party did not need to have this idea: [Wait, secret crush?]
[According to your reasoning, isn’t Cesar able to see people? How could I fall in love with you?]
Ye He: "......"
He sneered and refused to continue discussing this topic with the system.
After hearing what Ye He said, Cesar said calmly: "These are all portraits left by the Duke. How can they be the same as you?"
A portrait from the Duke's time? Aren't the people up there already at least a hundred years old
Ye He was stunned, and his heart suddenly went cold. Although he had previously guessed that this was the portrait he had brought up from the basement, he still held on to a faint hope, but now this hope was cruelly broken by Cesar's words just now.
Ye He asked the system with a serious face: "What did you guess the reason just now?"
The system didn't know what Ye He wanted to do, but still answered truthfully: [I said you have a popular face.]
Ye He looked at Cesar and said seriously: "Then I think it's a coincidence. After all, I am a popular person."
Before, he felt that the system's guess was outrageous, but now he had to admit that the other party's explanation was the most scientific and the answer that gave him the most sense of security.
The fact that he had the same similar face as the person in the portrait, and that he met here again, could only be attributed to one sentence - it was all caused by fate.
When Duke Cesar heard Ye He's words, his thin lips curled up, and his smile became a little more real. He thought that the other party's character was still the same as before, and he would always come up with some words that made him feel novel.
After asking Ye He out of anger why he didn't look at him, Cesar knew that he had exposed the fact that his eyes could already see. The momentary stiffness on the other party's face also made Cesar understand that Ye He in front of him already knew that he was not blind. He originally thought that Ye He would expose it directly, but he did not expect that the other party acted as if nothing happened. Nothing ever happened.
Duke Cesar didn't know Ye He's purpose for continuing to pretend not to know, but seeing that the other party still looked like he didn't know anything, Duke Cesar decided to continue acting with him.
He wanted to see how long Ye He could perform and whether there was any reason why he didn't want to recognize him.
Ye He had no idea that Cesar had already seen through his disguise. He didn't wait for the other party's answer and finally couldn't help but look up at Cesar.
Ye He was stunned when he saw the smile that widened like ripples on Cesar's face. It had to be said that Cesar looked pretty when he smiled sincerely, and his handsome face was shining brightly. He was suddenly curious about what Cesar was thinking with this smile.
The system sensed the slightest hint of danger: [Aren’t you a straight-blooded man?]
Ye He: "What is the relationship between me being a straight man and my eyes that are good at discovering beauty?"
The system was defeated by Ye He's logic.
After seeing these portraits that were similar to his own, Ye He really wanted to finish the task quickly and sneak away. After all, his instinct like a small animal told him that this room was very weird.
Thinking of his mission, Ye He glanced at the notebook on the table tiredly. If Cesar couldn't see it, it would be easier for him to take the notebook, but the problem is that the other party can see it. If he takes action again, he will rush to surrender.
Ye He glanced at the notebook on the table, then at Cesar in front of him, and suddenly had an idea. He took a deep breath and then plucked up the courage to look at Cesar: "Master, I heard the butler say that you want to read the Duke's notebook. Do you want to understand him? Your eyesight is not convenient, let me read it for you. ."
Since Cesar is still pretending to be blind in front of him, why doesn't he take advantage of this
Duke Cesar's eyes flashed with interest when he heard Ye He's words. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would actually offer to read the notebook. He is the author of this notebook, so of course he knows what is written in it.
Duke Cesar once had the idea of letting Revere read his notebook. However, at that time, Revere had a grudge against him because of Freya's death and was resistant to everything about him. Naturally, this matter was put on hold.
After Revel disappeared, Duke Cesar expressed his thoughts in a notebook. Every word and every sentence in it was stained with Duke Cesar's deep longing.
Unexpectedly, one hundred years later, Ye He would actually bring it up.
Cesar nodded and made an elegant gesture of invitation: "Of course."
Or maybe he just wanted it.
Regardless of whether Ye He wanted to use this method to prove that he had completely lost his memory because he had already made the final decision, Cesar had to admit that this move really pleased him.
Ye He was also very happy. He didn't expect that his plan would go smoothly. After getting Cesar's permission, Ye He went to the table and picked up the notebook. The moment his fingertips touched the notebook, he remembered something and made a move.
The system instantly understood the reason for Ye He's pause, and explained: [Don't worry, I will immediately make a new notebook after recycling it, so Cesar won't find it.]
After hearing the system's words, Ye He breathed a sigh of relief and touched the notebook on the table with confidence.
Duke Cesar was already sitting on a chair nearby. Ye He turned his back to him and told the system to restore it quickly. Sure enough, just as the system said, the next second after the notebook disappeared, a new black notebook appeared on the desktop, completely indistinguishable from the previous one.
And the cold mechanical voice of the system also sounded in Ye He's ears: [Congratulations to the host for completing the extra task, successfully recovering Cesar's notebook, and gaining 24 hours of life.]
Hearing that he had an extra 24 hours of life, Ye He instantly felt at ease: "It feels good to have a life."
He picked up the notebook, followed Cesar's instructions, turned around and walked to the other party. Looking at Cesar who looked like he was listening attentively, Ye He felt inexplicably like he was telling a bedtime story to a child.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh that Cesar was really good at acting. The other party had obviously seen this notebook a long time ago, but he could still pretend to look so expectant. Compared with Cesar, my acting skills really need to be improved.
The system feels that Ye He no longer needs to improve his acting skills, but should improve his art of speaking.
Ye He opened the notebook in front of him and decided to read a few pages at random to fool him: "On x, month x, 19xx, after obtaining the status of heir, he and I lived in a secluded manor. Watching the people coming and going in the manor Servant, I suddenly came up with an idea: It would be great if it was just me and him."
Ye He couldn't help but sigh to the system in his heart: "If there are only two people, who will clean the house?"
System: [You.]
Ye He: "???"
The system responded ruthlessly: [Because you are most concerned about this matter. If you don’t clean it, who will clean it?]
Ye He turned a page angrily and continued reading: "On x, month x, 19xx, he obviously liked this place very much and often ran out, which made me a little unhappy. Although he always told everything that happened Everything has been told to me, but I still feel scared and uneasy in my heart, I can't live without him."
Is the last sentence too gay? How could it come from the mouth of the duke who has a lover
Lover, did she know that the Duke spoke like this in his notebook
Ye He couldn't help but think in his heart. He wanted to ask the system if he felt the same as him, but he felt that the system would definitely make a fuss about this matter and label him as gay, so in the end Still chose to give up
After reading a few more pages, Ye He gradually understood the identity of the "him" in the notebook. He should be the Duke's friend. It appeared on every page, with a 100% appearance rate. In the first few pages, almost the Duke wrote that he was afraid of losing this friend. Mood.
Duke Cesar lowered his eyes. Following Ye He's voice, he seemed to have returned to the memory of worrying about gains and losses. Revel still loves to run around as much as he did when he was a child, but the Duke only wants the other person to stay by his side.
Thinking that at that time he only knew how to keep his dissatisfaction in his heart, the Duke couldn't help but laugh secretly that he was too young at that time and didn't know that the most important thing to do if he wanted to catch a flying bird was not to talk to the other person. The truth is, you should build a beautiful cage first.
Ye He had no idea what the Duke was thinking and was still reading the contents of the notebook seriously.
Ye He originally just read it with a perfunctory attitude, but after reading a few pages, his curiosity was instantly aroused, and he wanted to know about the Duke's beloved lover as if there were cat's claws scratching gently in his heart. When will it appear
I have almost finished reading a third of the thickness of the notebook, and the Duke's notebook is still full of "him". There are too many scenes of "him", right
Ye He sighed in his heart: "The Duke and this 'him' really have a deep brotherhood."
If it weren't for the fact that he still had the responsibility of reading the notebook to the duke, Ye He would really want to read through the scribblings at a glance and jump directly to the place where the duke's lover appears, so as to get a glimpse of how good-looking the other person is from the text.
The mark left by the torn paper on the notebook is like a bookmark, indicating that Ye He has finally read one-third of the contents of the notebook.
This notebook has signs of being torn off, causing the contents of the notebook to be somewhat incoherent. But he didn't expect that the number of pages torn out of the notebook was far more than Ye He imagined. Seeing that Cesar never shouted to stop, Ye He could only bite the bullet and continue reading.
"On x, month x, 19xx, I finally understood that this possessiveness comes from love."
When Ye He saw this sentence, his expression showed a bit of surprise - wait, what did he miss? !
Ah, what was written on those torn out pages? Could it be that the Duke's lover had already appeared at that time? !
Ye He: "System, do you know?"
System: [Don’t force things to happen. I can only reproduce them, not restore them.]
Ye He beat his chest in his heart. He originally didn't care about the number of pages that were torn out, but now he couldn't help but start to think about whether these pages were torn off by Cesar in front of him, or whether the Duke tore them off for some unknown reason. down.
However, Ye He did not have the courage to ask Cesar, so he could only continue reading with a look of regret. What he never expected was that a few more pages were missing in the middle. No wonder the notebook didn't look thick. It turned out that he had to tear it apart to maintain the thin and moderate shape.
Ye He sighed depressedly in his heart, and then continued to read: "On x, month, x, 19xx, I finally took him back."
... ... .he
Ye He read it twice and was sure that the Duke used it to refer to him as a male. Moreover, the Duke's usually neat handwriting looked a bit messy at this time. Even after a hundred years, Ye He could still feel the other person's happiness and joy from between the lines.
The Duke's brother actually had a role. It seemed that the other party was snatched away by someone, otherwise the Duke would not have used the word "robbed".
Ye He heard a sudden chuckle in the room, and he subconsciously looked at Cesar sitting on the chair. At this time, Cesar's face clearly showed pleasure, as if he had thought of something that made him happy.
Ye He couldn't help but look down at the black notebook in his hand, and then at Cesar who was sitting on the chair. The timing of the other person's laughter was so clever that he had to doubt Cesar's behavior. It was time to empathize with the Duke in the notebook.
For some reason, a chill suddenly rose up behind Ye He, and when he looked at the contents of the notebook, he felt that it was inexplicably creepy.
The smile on Duke Cesar's lips did not disappear. Even if the years passed, he still felt joy slowly flowing through his blood when he thought about the moment when he recaptured Revel.
He still remembered the scene at that time, when Revell was deceived by the woman, sitting in the carriage waiting for the woman to arrive, and wanted to elope with her as agreed. However, when the appointed time arrived, what Revel saw after opening the curtain was not Freya, but the Duke with a cold expression.
Revel's face instantly showed a look of panic. He subconsciously wanted to open the carriage door and escape, but Duke Cesar was already one step ahead of him and forcefully took him out of the carriage.
Revere struggled and hesitated and asked why the other party was here. The Duke said calmly: "She made a deal with me and sold you to me."
"She betrayed you."
How could Revel believe that? He struggled harder and harder, but his strength was like his favorite rose. Even if it had thorns, it could still be easily broken off.
The originally bright sky suddenly started to rain. Duke Cesar hugged the shivering Revel tightly, put his cloak on him, and said in a soft voice: "Let's go home."
Even though Duke Cesar had tried to soften his voice, Revel in his arms still did not stop trembling.
Until Revel's disappearance, apart from being able to relax in the manor for a while with the Duke, Revel never had the chance to leave the home that the Duke agreed with.
In order to distract himself and get rid of the lingering coldness in his body, Ye He quickly read on.
But he didn't expect that starting from this page, the writing style of the following notes also changed suddenly. The word "him" on every page finally made Ye He realize the fact that the Duke's lover turned out to be a male.
The strange things in the previous diary finally became reasonable at this time. No wonder he had never seen the word "she" from the beginning to the end. It turned out to be because the Duke's lover was not "she" at all, but "he".
There was also the worry about gains and losses in the Duke's words before. He thought that the other party was afraid of losing his friend. It turned out that the Duke had already fallen in love with "him" at that time, but he didn't notice it.
Although Ye He is a straight man, he does not discriminate against homosexuals. Therefore, apart from being a little shocked, he does not have any other strange feelings. He just feels that the Duke shown in the diary has subverted his image.
Although he has never met the Duke with his own eyes and only knows a few words about him from other people's mouths, Ye He feels that as a Duke, even if there are no ambitious plans in the other party's diary, he should still be strategizing and calm. However, The Duke in the diary is a complete love brain!
Ye He cried out in surprise and uncertainty in his heart: "Hey..."
Unexpectedly, the system also shouted, and the mechanical voice had a rare ups and downs: [Holy shit, the Duke's lover is actually a male!]
Ye He: "... You didn't just react now, did you?"
To be honest, this was the first time he heard the system swear. He didn't expect that this incident would shock the system so much.
The system really didn't know that the duke's lover was a male before. After all, in the dungeon, the setting of the duke's lover was just a background board. How could it explore the gender of a background board and directly default to a girl like Ye He? .
And what made the system think about it the most was the portrait just now.
System: [Have you ever thought about the relationship between those portraits found in the basement of the manor and the Duke... and the Duke?]
If it weren't for the fact that those portraits were so similar to Ye He, the system wouldn't be so surprised.
Hearing the system's words, Ye He couldn't help but fell into silence, obviously thinking about the system.
Obviously these portraits are not like the work photos that every servant has.
Ye He wanted to speak out his guess, but found that his voice was extremely dry and hoarse. He felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat, and the notebook in his hand seemed to have become a hot potato.
However, Ye He can't throw away this hot potato yet.
Without hearing Ye He's voice, Cesar had already looked over. Ye He swallowed silently, turned the page and prepared to continue reading.
But after glancing at the content, Ye He was stunned, and his cheeks gradually turned a thin layer of red. There was only one thought in his mind: Wait, how do you pronounce this
If it weren't for the date marked on the header of each page, Ye He would have thought that the system had accidentally copied the colored content that he usually saw.
Ye He secretly flipped through a few pages, wanting to skip these unhealthy contents, but he didn't expect that several pages in a row showed the same color, making it almost impossible to avoid it.
Ye He: "... Is it too late for me to say that I am illiterate?"
System: [It’s always too late to seek death.]
Ye He: "......"
Damn it, I want to refute but I can’t.
To make matters worse, the sound of Ye He turning pages also attracted Cesar's attention, and the other party's eyes fell on him.
Seeing that Ye He didn't speak for a long time, Duke Cesar asked, "Why don't you read it anymore?"
Ye He: "Master, the content of these pages... Why don't you skip it?"
He didn't know if Cesar had read these contents, but Ye He really couldn't read anymore.
Of course Duke Cesar knew what was in the diary, and said calmly: "Don't jump, just keep reading."
System: [It’s just social death. I won’t see Cesar again in the next world. What are you afraid of?]
Ye He then thought about it - yes, there were only two people present, he and Cesar, and he would not see Cesar again in the next world, so rounding it off meant that he had no social death!
As for the system... ....
The system does not count people.
Thinking of this, Ye He tightened his grip on the cover of his notebook and read on: "This is our first time. His body was shaking badly..."
"I put my arms around his shoulders and kissed every inch of his skin. Probably because of the severe pain, he shrank into my arms like a kitten..."
"His eyes were red from crying just now and his face was resisting, but now his body is extremely weak..."
Because of shyness, Ye He's eyelashes trembled slightly like a butterfly fluttering its wings with every word he spat out. His neck and cheeks were covered with a thin layer of red, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became louder. It's like reading it to yourself.
However, the Duke did not interrupt him to ask him to speak louder, which made Ye He secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart - just hang on, he should be able to finish reading soon.
"I gently bit the birthmark on his lower back and told him that the birthmark looked like a rose."
"Since he likes roses, I planted a large area of roses in the manor. This rose garden can be seen from the windows of our two rooms."
"And the best fertilizer is, of course, her."
"I want her to watch me holding my lover day and night even after she dies."
"Yes, this is my lover."
The author has something to say: System: Everyone is destined to die, either from society or from lack of money.
Ye He: You can just tell me your name=. =
PS: I didn’t expect that the school had a power outage while I was writing, so I quickly found an Internet cafe to continue writing. I knelt down and apologized. You guys have been waiting for a long time. QAQ
