When Roddy walked to the door, Ms. Shafei had deliberately left behind him and then left quietly.
When he opened the door, Rody saw Miao Ge's figure.
Miu Ge was sitting in front of a mirror with her back to the door, combing her hair. Her soft back was facing Roddy, and her satin-like hair was casually spread around her back. She gently held a white jade comb with her ten delicate fingers. . The flawless jade comb slowly slid through the hair, and its elegant and skillful movements seemed like a strange rhythmic dance.
For a moment, Roddy was almost stunned.
With a gentle sigh, he heard footsteps. Miu Ge did not look back, but said in a cold voice: "Are you here again?"
Rody opened his mouth, slowly exhaled, and said with a wry smile: "How did you know it was me?"
Miu Ge turned around, her pretty face still showed that faint indifference. She took a deep look at Rody, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth - even though it was a smile, it was so indifferent.
"You know, I have a special ability. As long as I hear a person's footsteps once, I will remember it. Next time I hear footsteps again, I will know who it is without looking."
After saying this, Miao Ge turned back and continued to comb his hair. Rody took a few steps and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say to this indifferent beauty. In fact, even he himself didn't know why he came to see Miao Ge at this time.
Maybe it's because Miao Ge is one of the few people who knows that he is a fake. A person always has some inexplicable closeness in his subconscious towards another person who knows his biggest secret.
Fortunately, Miu Ge finished combing her hair quickly and she stood up gently. Only then did Roddy realize that Miao Ge was only wearing a thin silk robe without any decoration, and his delicate face was not decorated at all.
"Sorry, I just got up and haven't dressed up yet." Miu Ge showed a rare blush on his face and a smile on his lips.
With just such a shallow smile, the aura of indifference from her body was instantly wiped away. It's like the spring breeze suddenly melts the ice and snow, and the spring flowers suddenly bloom. Rody's heart suddenly jumped a few times, and he took a deep breath to suppress the strange throbbing in his heart.
But this warm smile only flashed away. When the smile disappeared, Miao Ge's face returned to that faint indifference.
"Sit down, Your Majesty the Duke." Her voice was soft, but her tone was still indifferent, and it seemed that the indifference was mixed with a bit of ridicule. Rody smiled bitterly, knowing that she was laughing at him for being a fake. Thinking of this, Rody felt a little more relaxed - in the Imperial Capital, except in front of Nicole, Rody had to disguise himself in front of everyone. , but the beauty in front of him knew that she was a fake. Rody felt extremely relaxed because he no longer needed to pretend here.
"I'm leaving the Imperial Capital tomorrow." Rody sat down slowly, his expression becoming more relaxed.
Miu Ge smiled lightly and just stretched out a jade arm to support on the table and gently held his chin and looked at Rody.
"Go to war, Northwest," Roddy continued.
Unnoticeably, the palm holding Miu Ge's chin suddenly trembled slightly, and then she asked softly: "Is it dangerous?"
Rody nodded and said: "It is very dangerous, but that's not what I'm afraid of. It's just that I have a ridiculous feeling in my heart now. You... you should understand, right?"
Miu Ge looked into Roddy's eyes, and suddenly a strange expression appeared on his face: "Thank you."
"What?" Rody was stunned for a moment, and then he understood in his heart - he was thanking himself on behalf of the real Seth! If it weren't for him, then it would probably be Seth who went to the battlefield to fight for his life! She...she was thanking Seth...
For no reason, a trace of anger arose in Rody's heart, and his voice became hoarse: "You don't have to thank me on his behalf! I... although I am pretending, this is also my responsibility! I... "
Miu Ge's eyes were fixed on Rody, and his gaze flickered on Rody's face. He suddenly smiled softly and interrupted Rody's words: "No, you misunderstood what I meant."
"Huh?" Rody was stunned.
That smile slowly bloomed at the corner of Miao Ge's mouth, and her eyes became slightly softer: "I thank you because you are willing to tell me what is on your mind. You regard me as a trustworthy friend, Instead of..." At this point, she stretched out a slender finger and pointed outside - even though the door was closed, the sound from outside was still faintly coming in.
"Not them." After saying the last few words, Miao Ge's face gradually darkened, with a hint of deep sadness in his eyes.
"Did you know? You are the second man I have met in so many years who does not treat me as a plaything." Miu Ge said lightly: "Yesterday, Bayan came here, but he didn't dare to do anything to me. He He has already fallen in love with me. Huh..." Her tone was a bit helpless and sad: "In fact, no man who has ever met me can forget me. But you are different from Bayan and the others."
"We...are you talking about Seth and me?" Roddy felt a hint of bitterness in his mouth. He himself didn't understand why he had such strange thoughts. In fact, he had only seen this woman twice including today!
"Yes." Miu Ge stood up slowly. She turned around and took out a small bottle from a cabinet behind her, then came back and sat down, handing it to Rody.
"I brewed this myself. It's different from other wines. I never give it to others to drink. Please try it."
Rody took the bottle. For a moment, he wanted to ask loudly: "Is Seth the only one who has drunk this bottle of wine?"
But the words were not spoken after all. He just slowly took off the bottle cap, raised his head and poured a sip into his mouth. In the mouth of the wine, I only felt an unusually rich and strange aroma, which was a bit like some kind of floral aroma, but not exactly the same. And under the fragrance of this flower, the tongue is as hot as if it was burned by fire. With a sip of wine, it is like a moving line of fire running down the throat and into the stomach...
Miao Ge's voice sounded softly: "I am eighteen years old this year. I came here when I was sixteen..."
"Why?"
Miu Ge took a deep look at Roddy and said slowly: "There are many tragic things in this world, and there are also many similar ones, so there is nothing to say."
Rody sighed, stopped asking, picked up the bottle and took another sip of wine.
"I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky. I met Seth on the second day I came here. I was scared and strange at the time. He didn't seem older than me, but he would come to a place like this. ." At this point, a smile appeared on Miao Ge's face, and then she shook her head and continued: "Fortunately, he is very powerful. He likes me and spends a lot of money, so I live a good life here. Well, because of the power in his family, Ms. Shafei did not let me do anything else. My daily task was to dress myself up and wait for him to come to see me. Sometimes he would come for several days in a row. , sometimes he didn't come for several days in a row. He taught me how to play the piano and sing, and then I showed him the new dances I learned from the teachers here. At that time, I was so stupid that I thought I would never do it again. Being so happy, I forgot that my identity is just... just a... geisha."
When the word "geisha" came out of Miao Ge's beautiful little mouth, it seemed to have a somewhat cruel meaning. Rody felt his hand tremble slightly and the wine in the bottle almost spilled out.
