Because there was still something to say to Alexia, this time after Jenkins returned to Nolan, he took the time to return and appeared in the carriage that the short lady was returning to her residence. At this time, the carriage had driven out of the palace, and Jenkins could open the curtain and look outside.
The street lights on the main road are bright, and it is rare that there is no snow tonight, but there are piles of snow under every lamppost. The sound of the wheels crushing the snow is very rhythmic, but Jenkins is not sure whether this is caused by the aging of the vehicle.
"Of course it won't go so smoothly. I've already found out that Dolores's brothers are about to make a move, and at least one of them will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to do something. That's really a fool, and he doesn't even know he's being used. "
Alexia answered Jenkins' suspicions.
"I still don't understand. Our friends didn't mean to touch the shining crown at all. Why do they still regard her as a threat?"
"That's because you don't know what kind of power our friends have... Don't show that surprised expression, I don't mean individual power, but power including influence, relationship, power, etc. "
"Then I understand."
Jenkins shook his head slightly, then turned to look out the window. The biting night wind blowing on his face made his cheeks sting a little, but it helped him stay awake. The warm room is indeed comfortable, but it will inevitably feel hot after staying for a long time:
"On the one hand, Miss Stuart's brothers are afraid of this power; on the other hand, they covet these powers; and the most important point is that the current Miss Stuart has no intention of crowning the crown, but it does not mean that in the future It's the same. People's hearts are fickle things, and maybe she will suddenly change her mind for a ridiculous reason."
Here's Jenkins' summary, the struggle for human rights is for no other reason than that.
"So, I love having conversations with you, and you can always guess what I'm thinking. Guess what I'm thinking right now?"
As she said that, she leaned forward almost touching Jenkins' face, and there seemed to be a dazzling aura flickering in her beautiful eyes. Chocolate was very unhappy about this, because it was lying on Jenkins' lap, and Alexia's movements squeezed its movement space.
"Um… "
After that embarrassing night on the train, it's amazing how much he's improved, like now:
"I know what you're thinking, but I won't say it."
The woman showed an intoxicating smile, did nothing, retracted her body and sat back opposite Jenkins. She stared into Jenkins' eyes until Jenkins looked out again out of embarrassment.
Alexia knew that she liked the man in front of her, and so did the man, but he didn't know or didn't want to admit it.
"You need to pay more attention to the undead in Nolan City. Since you think those skeletons are related to monsters, then this matter may be a bit serious. There are indeed many monsters that can create undead creatures, but once Sexuality has produced so many, and even high-level undead tribes have appeared, so unless the items are not recorded by the Orthodox Church, I can limit the scope to some things that can be called 'disasters'. There was a black market in Ruen City that targeted The weapon of the undead, I think I can buy it with Dolores."
"No, don't bother."
The last vampire incident, thanks to Miss Stuart's [Vampire Buster], if they need their help this time, then Jenkins will be really embarrassed.
"It's not troublesome. Didn't you also share B-03-01-8383 [Secretary Fear Goblet] with us? It's fair."
Jenkins froze for a moment, then looked at her in surprise: "Fair? Until now, do you still use the value of the transaction to calculate the friendship between us?"
He wanted to make a joke, but the joke might have gone too far. Alexia's brows immediately frowned, and the atmosphere in the car tensed in vain.
She leaned forward again, but this time their faces really touched. After the kiss, she watched Jenkins wipe his lips with his hand while blushing, and asked sarcastically:
"Now can you feel how I 'quantified' our 'friendship'?"
"Um."
Jenkins was still recollecting the feeling just now, so he was a little absent-minded when answering the question. He suddenly realized that it seemed that every time he kissed a woman, he was the passive one, and there was something wrong with it.
"but… "
If you don't realize that you have a good impression of the female friends around you, then wanton kissing can be dismissed as ignorance. But after realizing this, is it really right to still get along with them like this
Hathaway and Britney, who were far away in Nolan, and Alexia, who was near Loen, clearly knew what they thought about themselves and the three ladies, but they still didn't change their way of getting along.
"Am I also that kind of so-called playboy?"
He was surprised to think that he was worried that he would become the person who cheated his feelings the most.
"Meow~"
The cat made a threatening sound, but at this time, neither of the two humans had the intention to pay attention to this cute little animal. Chocolate pawed at the back of Jenkins' hand, hoping to get Jenkins to think about it, but it clearly failed.
"You don't need to worry about it."
Alexia's voice suddenly sounded again, connecting Jenkins' mental activities like a mind reading.
"Um?"
"Don't worry, don't worry at all. You need to look further away, I know you always have your own goals. As for the near..."
She took a biscuit from a small plate beside her, broke it in half, and handed one half to the cat, who was about to piss. Chocolate glanced suspiciously, but didn't take it, so Jenkins took the biscuit from Alexia's hand, and it accepted it.
"Did you see what I did?"
"..."
Such a conversation was so tiring that Jenkins had to admit that he didn't understand it at all.
Alexia tilted her head to look at Jenkins, then put the remaining half of the biscuit into her mouth.
Her eyes narrowed, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she just wanted to make Jenkins unreadable. Her view of love is very unique, but no matter how "generous" she is willing to "share", Alexia is just a mortal woman now. This is a rare moment when sensibility slightly overwhelms rationality.
"What a fool!"
As for whether it was Jenkins, or Alexia, or Chocolate's mental activity, no one could get the answer.
