Hua Mu also hates Derek very much. If it wasn't for the so-called royal family harmony, she wouldn't even talk to this cousin.
"Let's just say, Derek will bullshit, and it's not like that in the novels I read."
White pillow knew that Hua Mu often participated in some book clubs, but she was never allowed to follow in those occasions full of noble ladies, so she didn't know what type of books they usually read.
Those eldest ladies with high taste must be reading poetry collections or prose of great writers, right? Or classical literature and opera? The discussion must also be on the philosophical level.
White pillow understands why Hua Mu didn't bring herself to the scene. A vulgar person like her will definitely embarrass the eldest lady.
"Miss, did you read the 'Mary' by Mr. Mondra?"
White pillow also likes to read books, although it is some idle books, but if she is fortunate enough to read the same book with Hua Mu, she will be very happy.
"Hey, have you seen "Mary" too?"
"Mary" is a novel about vampires written by the famous nineteenth-century bizarre novelist Mondra Ray. The novel takes a noble girl-turned-guide Layla as the main point of view. A female sentinel named Mary became a roommate, and a series of weird, supernatural and slightly ambiguous stories happened after that.
Mary's spirit body is a vampire bat, which has been kept away from people because of her uncontrollable desire to suck blood. The protagonist of the story, Layla, is an innocent and enthusiastic guide. After meeting Mary on the first day, she was deeply attracted by her aloof and indifferent personality and sexy and melancholy appearance.
In the nineteenth century, the union of same-sex sentinels and guides was still considered a taboo, so at the end of the story the author only used "friendship" to define the relationship. However, the obscure, ambiguous and even a little bit of sex descriptions have deeply attracted many female readers, especially the inexplicable upsurge of female sentinels in recent years, which has pushed this novel to the status of a masterpiece.
A large number of doujinshi and secondary creations are emerging one after another, and there are also fans of this novel among the noble ladies - Hua Mu considers himself only half a fan.
After all, although she has watched a lot of fans, she has only read the original once, which is different from those other fanatical fans.
It's just that she never thought that the wooden-headed sentinel would read this kind of novel.
Bai Zhen was a little embarrassed, because she only went to see it when she heard the mention of Hua Mu's personal maid occasionally.
"Um… "
Hua Mu's heart was pounding, and she tried her best to pretend not to care and asked, "Then what do you think?"
The white pillow said it quite seriously, as if he was feeling after reading it.
"I think Mr. Mondra's writing is very good, and the plot and characters are very fascinating. It's just that he probably doesn't know much about the system in our tower. A single sentinel and a guide cannot be roommates. And the sentinel's room needs to be set with white Noise…”
Hua Mu's head is so big when he hears it, who wants to hear this!
"I'm asking what you think of Layla and Mary's relationship!"
"Ah? Oh, I think their friendship is very sincere and touching. Whether it's Layla offering her blood to appease Mary or Mary forcibly resisting the commotion of the union fever and rejecting her, it's great. You know, except for the Dark Sentinels, there are no Which sentinel can really withstand the heat of conjugation. On the other hand, although I have never seen a sentinel affected by a spirit body and want to suck blood, I heard from the leader that some spirit bodies can even temporarily change the host's body structure in order to allow the host to continue the bloodline. , so it's probably not completely impossible, but a sentinel is a guide who will never hurt himself..."
Hua Mu was about to be crushed by the seriousness of the white pillow!
But it's just a novel, why are you looking for realism in it!
"Although Mr. Mondra has many mistakes in his description of the tower and the sentinels and guides, considering that the tower was still a secret organization in the nineteenth century, I can't blame him any more..."
"Oh."
Hua Mu, don't listen!
She just wants to know what cp the white pillow stands for, and whether she is against her cp, who wants to listen to the literary significance and value of this novel! Didn't she hear enough from the teacher
"... Miss, am I right?"
Bai Zhen noticed that Hua Mu's mood was waning, and asked cautiously, "Isn't it wrong, I think what you said is very reasonable, and it gave me a new understanding of this novel."
"Really?"
White pillow was too excited just now, so he couldn't help but say a lot in one breath. But then she realized that she was just playing an axe in the class, exposing herself to be short, and feeling ashamed for a while.
"Yeah, I never thought she was real. After all, I haven't been to the tower... Then, if you say it like this, wouldn't this story not happen?"
"No, because the guides and sentries will have collaborative lessons, and I think the story will still happen. Like Mary and Layla, they are destined to meet, and they are destined to form deep friendships."
Is it just friendship
This sentinel is too stupid... Simple, right
The two not only sparked the heat of bonding with each other, kissed each other, but also sucked blood!
Among the fellows, the thunder of the sky stirs the fire of the earth, and it crackles with just one look, okay
Is it just friendship
No wonder I haven't found a partner yet at twenty-four, so I deserve to be single!
"Then you say you have many good friends in the tower, and some as good as Layla and Mary?"
But isn't it super dangerous to think of this relationship as a friendship? In her eyes, do she and her friends look like this
The white pillow was stunned for a moment, faintly feeling that this question was a bit difficult to answer. She naturally has many life and death friendships, and the deep friendship cannot be summed up in one or two sentences.
But comparing her friendship with her friends to that of Layla and Mary doesn't seem right.
Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between the two in the novel is not deep enough, nor does it mean that the relationship between her and her friends cannot stand scrutiny.
"Well, big, maybe there is?"
But she couldn't describe the difference well, so she could only give Hua Mu an ambiguous answer.
Of course, this is not at all ambiguous in Hua Mu's view.
She also has such a good guide friend who can trigger bonding fever and who can come and go in person!
I don't know the checkpoint! Red apricot out of the wall! Excessive!
"Little, Miss?" Bai Zhen felt a twist on his shoulder, and was puzzled for a while.
"mosquito."
But she has a barrier.
"… Oh."
The two fell into a brief silence, but fortunately, Bai Zhen quickly brought Hua Mu back to the temporary base by the river.
She spent some time digging a sand pit and building a fire, and after peeling and slicing breadfruit over the fire, she went and caught some fish and shellfish to make soup.
There are actually many inconveniences in the pot made of coconut shell. The coconut shell must be thinned, and the water cannot be boiled completely every time. Of course, directly adding hot stones to the water can solve this problem, but it is undoubtedly a disaster in the view of Hua Mu, who loves cleanliness. The white pillow wraps a layer of iron on the coconut shell, which finally increases the use of each coconut shell. Longevity also allows the water to cook hotter.
Sitting by the fire, Hua Mu couldn't help being a little ecstatic as she watched the white pillow busy and clean.
"... Since you have so many good guides, why haven't you found a partner yet?"
Hua Mu felt that it must be just too boring to ask such a question. After all, she has nothing else to gossip about now.
Besides, as a direct leader, isn't it normal for her to be concerned about the lifelong affairs of her own guard
White pillow probably didn't expect Hua Mu to suddenly ask such a question, the knife that was turning the breadfruit in his hand shook, and the fruit piece fell into the fire.
"Big, big lady?"
A slight burnt smell wafted from the fire, Hua Mu signaled it, and Bai Zhen hurriedly picked out the fruit pieces.
"I remember that the sentinel and the guide in the tower started a blind date when they were eighteen years old? Isn't that the same thing that you return to the tower every month besides debriefing? Why are you still single?"
The white pillow was a little embarrassed and uneasy.
Indeed, if a sentinel of her age could have a guide who could match, generally speaking, they would have already combined.
"Yes, it's because of the match, the matching degree..."
It has always been difficult for female sentinels and male guides to find a suitable partner. Ordinary sentinels will generally combine with a match of more than 80%. If they can meet a partner with a match of more than 60%, they will take a risk.
Hua Mu was very uncomfortable. "So, as long as the matching degree is achieved, you are willing to marry no matter who the other party is?"
For White Pillow, this should be a matter of course, after all, it is too difficult for a female sentinel to find a suitable guide.
"If it weren't for a foreigner..."
But she lied about this matter, so she was so guilty that she didn't dare to look directly at Hua Mu's face, she just lowered her head and kept fiddling with the toasted slices of bread and fruit.
She had met a suitable male guide who matched her by more than 75%. Moreover, the guide not only inherited the title of Viscount, but also had a promising future in the army. He was already a major in the navy before the age of thirty, and he was an impeccable and excellent person in every respect.
There was a brief exchange between the two, and they were perfect in every way—except for one thing.
Although the combined sentinel and guide are not completely bound together, they will undoubtedly maximize their value if they can cooperate.
The escort is a very personal position, so if she is combined with this guide, she will have to quit the job and transfer to the navy.
White Pillow thought for a long time and finally rejected the guide, and since then he has kept a distance from Tari's blind date.
She originally only had a routine blind date in accordance with the regulations, but at that time she understood that she was not at ease to let someone else serve as Hua Mu's bodyguard.
But on the other hand, it is extremely arrogant and rude for her to think like this, not only for the other sentries, but also for the eldest lady.
So, she didn't want Hua Mu to know about it.
