The success of John's leg stitching operation is not the only thing in the Territory of Desinia, it happens more or less in every city.
The success of a suture operation is only an example, and may not attract much attention.
However, news of the successful operation was gradually reported in various cities, which means that the treatment proposed by Lord Desinia is really feasible.
All these things were published in the newspapers, and then they were distributed and sold everywhere.
Just when everyone was eagerly talking about the suturing operation, Xia Zoe first found Orville in the castle, hoping to talk to him.
The two of them sat alone in the study, face to face.
"Wow."
The rice cake was held in Orville's arms, and the petite size of the little snow fox made it completely able to curl up on the Duke's lap, and was comfortably followed by the snow-white hair.
However, Nian Gao saw Xia Zuoyi sitting on another sofa, his dark eyes lit up, and he tried to stand up and jump out of Orville's arms.
But his legs moved, and when he came back to his senses, he was still held tightly.
Xia Zuoyi saw the four short legs of the rice cake kicking in the air under Orville's embrace, walking in place...
puff.
He couldn't help laughing.
"Cough..."
Xia Zuoyi then cleared his throat, he looked at Orville seriously and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
When Orville heard the words, his expression rarely softened: "Of course, as long as it is a question you ask, I will answer it."
He kept his hands, touching the big tail of the rice cake.
Xia Zuoyi: "I hope you must answer this question."
"If you have to choose between me and a group of fluffy beasts, the two parties can only choose one of them. If you choose me, you will not be able to touch the fluffy beasts again. If you choose fluffy beasts, there will be no me. …”
"Orville, what would you choose?"
Orville's hand that touched the end of the rice cake froze.
His light gray eyes looked at Xia Zuoyi very quietly, and after a while he said, "Do you have to choose?"
Can't have both
Xia Zuoyi understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "There will always be shortcomings in things, you can't keep everything by your side..."
"You can't stay either."
Orville lowered his eyes silently, just looking up at the small eyes of the rice cake curiously.
"Woo?"
"Impossible..." Orville murmured.
Xia Zuoyi: "Are you really aware of your feelings for me?"
"I like you and I want to stay by your side."
"Whether it's in the Desinia territory or the Akiyayoli territory, as long as you are willing, I can agree to compromise for you." Orville looked serious.
Xia Zoe sighed and said, "Then you make a choice, Orville."
"In your heart, can you choose me without hesitation? Am I more important than the plush?"
Orville did not answer because he had no choice.
In his heart, he would hesitate and hesitate about choosing Xia Zuoyi but abandoning the fluffy beasts... He had no way to choose any of the answers.
But... why not have both.
In his opinion, little Zooey is one with the fluffy ones, and he and his beasts will never be separated at all.
Xia Zoey saw his hesitation.
Before Orville didn't answer immediately, he already understood.
He said: "Orville, I need a lover who treats me wholeheartedly, he has to be full of me and put me first."
"Instead of hesitating when I asked the question."
"You may like me, but it's not love."
Orville whispered: "What is love... I don't understand, you can teach me."
Xia Zoe: "No, Orville, I can't teach you about this, because I..."
He thought of the Pope, his expression subconsciously softened: "Because my love and love have been decided to give to another person."
"...Is it the Pope?" Orville whispered.
His light gray eyes seemed to be immersed in a mist of mist, and he looked a little pitiful.
Although Xia Zuoyi was a little unbearable, he still had to make him recognize a cruel reality.
"Orville, you have to know that when a person's heart belongs, he can't accept other people, unless the person changes his mind."
"But I won't change my mind. Even if you stay here for a month, a year, or even three or five years, I can't agree to be with you."
Xia Zuoyi said: "Among friends, I won't have any excess feelings for you, and it's impossible for me to return to the territory of Akiyayoli with you."
"Besides, why do you think you like me?"
Orville: "You are very good. We have known each other for so long. I am happiest with you. I don't have many friends. You are the most important one."
Xia Zuoyi: "Then let me be your lifelong friend."
"Friendship is something more precious than love to a certain extent..."
He used poisonous chicken soup for the soul to boil the Archduke Orville, who was still "innocent" in a certain way, so that he would no longer be obsessed with this matter.
No need, really no need.
Since I like plush more, I can touch it without becoming a lover.
Orville was silent for a while before saying, "Little Zoe, I have a request."
"What, you said."
"Can you send the briquettes to..."
"impossible."
"Snowballs are fine too."
"impossible."
"Qingtuan? Brown sugar? Ice cream? Rice cake? Rolling..."
"... Wake up, it's still daytime."
Fortunately, Archduke Orville is very reasonable, and he knows that no matter how much he waits, little Zooey's decision will not change.
That being the case, why did he force a relationship that didn't work out
However, Orville was still a little sad, and that night he slept in the room of the fluffy, with rice cakes in his arms and billowing beside him.
After Xia Zoe persuaded the Grand Duke to withdraw his mind, he immediately went to Archibald.
"You're going to reject me, right?"
As soon as he entered the study, Archibald said, "Orville can't recognize feelings, but I don't."
"Are you going to tell me the reason for persuading him again?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Archie, do you think it's useful?"
Archibald has answered that question with emoji.
Xia Zuoyi: "Since it doesn't work at all, then I won't talk nonsense anymore."
"But you must also understand that it's better to let go of this kind of thing earlier, because I can't accept you, Archie, we should be friends and partners."
Xia Zoe decided to talk a little harder with Archie than with Orville.
After all... long pain is worse than short pain.
Some things are just fine to say no.
Archibald: "Do you think we can still be friends?"
"If you don't want to be friends with me anymore... Archie, I just hope we won't be enemies." Xia Zoe said in silence for a while.
Archibald Lake's green eyes dimmed for a moment, he smiled bitterly: "Don't you try to keep me..."
Xia Zuoyi: "I don't want to force you. If the relationship of friends will make you sad... It's better to be a stranger who is familiar with each other. "
After he finished speaking, the air seemed to be silent.
Archibald's eyes seemed to have raindrops falling on the clear lake, and then splashed ripples drop by drop, just like the lake water under the rain curtain, always a little deep and sad.
"Archie..." Xia Zuoyi's lips moved, but she didn't say any more.
But he thought that the period of time since they returned to the Desinia territory from the Saint Air Empire should be enough for Archibald to see his attitude towards this matter.
His non-response is already the best answer.
For the sake of acquaintance since childhood, best friend and partner, he doesn't want to say too much... In the end, maybe even...
"In addition to responding to your feelings, for other things, I respect your decision and attitude." Xia Zuoyi said.
His caramel-colored eyes looked at Archibald earnestly, divine and sincere.
How sad.
Archibald thought, where is he a step late... Really unwilling.
He closed his eyes and hid the things inside that seemed to be revealed. When he opened them again, those beautiful lake green eyes like emeralds had returned to normal.
Archibald: "Can I give you a hug?"
Xia Zoe opened his arms hesitantly.
Archibald stepped forward and hugged him.
With his head buried in Xia Zuoyi's neck, he endured the trembling sigh that he was about to blurt out, and said in a slightly weak tone: "Little Zoey, we will be... friends and partners forever."
"Don't alienate me, okay?"
"it is good."
Xia Zuoyi raised his hand to pat him on the back to comfort him, but finally put it down.
…
Archibald never showed him any more than friendly attitudes and behaviors, and they seemed to be reverting to the way they used to get along.
A few days later, we talked about cooperation on new crops.
"I should go back."
Before Orville planned to leave the Desinia territory, Archibald said: "The new crop is very important, and I have to go back to Anas Kingdom to make arrangements."
"Little Zooey, you always surprise me."
Xia Zuoyi: "I hope I can continue to give it in the future."
Hearing this, Archibald smiled at him.
Xia Zoe personally went to the port to send Archibald away, watching the fleet belonging to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce gradually leave, he sighed softly.
But things finally worked out.
Time will slowly heal everything.
Xia Zuoyi thought that it would be quiet for a while. Who knew that the soldiers guarding the city gate stopped the team when they just passed Komoy Fort and said that there was something to report.
Judit got out of the carriage and went over to ask what happened.
The soldier said that a black leopard appeared in the city, which seemed to be the beast of the Lord, but there was a strange young man and a silver-haired girl he had never seen before.
Judit immediately explained this to Xia Zoe.
Xia Zoe: "..."
Who else can carry a black panther...
—One of the male supporting characters in the original book, Burali, the leader of the Kadi tribe.
As for the silver-haired girl... I can even guess who it is.
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but have a headache, is it over? !
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: The head hurts, the head hurts, why did they come to the Desinia territory and go directly back to the Kadi tribe? !
Pope: Hug, in fact, you can also wait for me to shoot, whether it is those two people or this woman, I will…
Xia Xia: Cover your mouth.jpg, forget it, let me do it, it's not appropriate to see blood.
Pope: ^^
