The sky is dark, and the lights in the castle are turned on all year round.
The yellowish light in the bedroom shines on the fingers, and the fingertips are wet, as if glowing with an attractive honey color.
Wen Qing stared blankly at her fingers, and after a while, she came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed suddenly.
He, what is he doing? !
Wen Qing didn't know what he was thinking just now.
It's fine to lick the jam, but how can you lick your fingers? !
Thinking about it, he felt a sense of dryness in his heart, and quickly wiped his hands on the handkerchief, wiping vigorously.
I didn't stop until my fingertips turned red.
Wen Qing blushed, poured two large cups of cold water, and calmed down a little, thankful that the butler was not there just now.
He raised his eyelids and looked towards the door on the right. When he raised his eyes, he saw himself in the mirror.
Sitting on the chair, tilting his head, he looked indifferent in the mirror, his brows were slightly raised, and his cheeks were not red at all.
Wen Qing froze for a moment, raised his hand to touch his face.
It's not hot anymore...
Wen pursed his lips lightly and looked in the mirror.
"Click—" the door was pushed open.
The butler is back.
He went straight to the table, stood beside Wen Qing, lowered his head, looked at the slightly water-stained handkerchief, his eyes gleamed blue.
"Madam, do you want to leave the castle now?"
Wen Qing tilted his head and looked at the sky outside the window. It was slightly brighter than in the morning, but overall it was still dark.
He couldn't help asking, "Will it rain?"
The housekeeper said calmly, "It won't rain."
Wen sighed softly, and continued to ask the housekeeper, "Is there anything dangerous outside the castle?"
The butler picked up the teacup, poured water for him, and said calmly, "There are many people outside the castle."
Wen Qing: "I'm asking what's the danger—"
The voice was abrupt, the butler must know what he was asking.
Just answering his question.
There are people outside the castle, and people are dangerous.
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, if the person who is in danger...
He thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Are those people bad?"
The butler didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, the light in his eyes flickered a little faster.
Wen Qing understood inexplicably, the housekeeper was laughing at him.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Aren't you a bad guy?"
The butler still didn't speak.
Wen Qing looked at his expressionless face, and tried to ask in a different way: "What are those people like?"
The butler calmly spit out two words: "Human."
Wen Qing: "..."
"What else?"
The butler fell silent again.
Wen lightly pursed his lips, no longer entangled in what kind of people outside,
He asked: "Then if we are going out, do we need to prepare anything?"
The butler half closed his eyes, as if he was thinking.
After a while, he slowly said, "Me."
Wen Qing: "???"
Steward: "I need to prepare."
Wen Qing: "???"
He was stunned, this robot can also speak earthy love words
Seeing his shock, the butler explained: "I can take good care of Madam."
Wen Qing didn't doubt this.
He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly, and looked up and down the butler.
The butler was about 1.9 meters tall, about the same height as Sikong. He was wearing a black tuxedo, tight-fitting, with only his hands exposed.
Although his hands have exactly the same bone structure as a human, they are silver in color, and it can be seen at a glance that they are not human.
Wen Qing thought to himself, if a robot is human... it always needs energy to run.
From the outside, he couldn't tell what the butler needed.
After pondering for a while, Wen Qing asked: "Do you want to go prepare to refuel and recharge the battery?"
The butler lowered his eyes and looked at him silently, the blue in his eyes seemed to freeze and no longer flicker.
"unnecessary."
Wen Qing said dryly: "Then what do you need to charge?"
The butler didn't speak.
Can't say that.
Wen Qing murmured in her heart, stopped asking the butler, and turned to 001: [Is it okay for me to leave the castle?]
Although this mission did not explicitly state that he would stay in the castle, Wen Qing was still a little worried, what if 001 made him bear the consequences if he went out.
001 repeated the main mission and advanced mission: [Main mission: Survive.]
[Advanced task: Take the three young masters out of the castle.]
Wen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no problem.
He glanced at the time, it was already twelve noon.
If you go out now, it may be too late to come back.
Wen Qing hesitated for a moment, then said to the housekeeper, "Let's go out tomorrow morning."
The butler replied, "Yes."
*****
Early the next morning, before the housekeeper and Asha came in, Wen Qing woke up.
He stood in front of the closet and dressed quickly.
After she was almost dressed, Wen Qing went to the mirror and looked in the mirror.
The clothes are a little crooked.
Wen gently lowered his head and looked carefully. A button on the hem of the shirt was crooked.
He unbuttoned and refastened.
When his fingertips touched the soft flesh around his waist, he couldn't help pressing down.
Wen Wei slightly frowned, quickly fastened the buttons, and raised his hand to look at his fingers.
There seems to be something wrong with him
The moment he put on his shoes, the butler walked in.
He glanced at Wen Qing's clothes, took out a black cloak from the closet, and put it on Wen Qing.
Wen Qing looked at the fur collar on the edge of the cloak, and was stunned: "It's not cold today."
"It's cold outside." The butler lowered his eyes and carefully tied the straps of his cloak for him.
Wen Qing wanted to take a look at the mirror, but the mirror was blocked by the butler's body.
He glanced at the butler's blue eyes, and said, "Let's go."
Passing by a rose bush, I saw Lily squatting on the ground, apparently still looking for a brooch.
Wen Qing paused, and was about to speak when Lily saw him and immediately bent down and said, "Ma'am, the brooch hasn't been found yet."
Wen nodded lightly and said to her, "You don't need to look for it."
Lily's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Madam, I will find it as soon as possible."
Knowing that she misunderstood, Wen Qing added: "I've found it, you don't need to look for it, go do other things."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Yes."
Seeing Wen Qing and the housekeeper walking straight forward, Lily hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, please don't get too close to Rose."
Wen Qing casually said, "I'm going out with the butler."
Lily stopped abruptly and looked at Wen Qing in surprise. She opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the butler closely following her, she closed her mouth again and said with a bowed head, "Yes."
The stable is on the south side, and Wen Qing followed the housekeeper, only to find out that the scenery on the south side of the castle is different.
In addition to the endless roses, there is a separate garden with tables and chairs, which are being cleaned by the maids. The stable is in a separate house, very quiet, no horse neighing.
Wen Qing walked to the door and realized why it was so quiet.
Sikong was standing inside, holding green grass in his hand, feeding a black horse.
He casually glanced towards the door, chuckled and said, "Where is this going?"
Wen Qing paused, pinched his palms, and said to him, "I'm going to go out for a stroll."
Sikong's expression remained unchanged, obviously he knew about it.
He waved the green grass in his hand, and the black horse in the compartment opened its mouth carefully and took a bite of the grass.
Sikong didn't say anything about not being allowed to go out, but asked: "Can you ride a horse?"
Wen Qing was worried that he would stop him with the excuse that he couldn't go out because he couldn't ride a horse, so he pinched his palms and nodded, "Yes."
The butler glanced at him, but said nothing.
Sikong nodded, pulled out the black horse in the compartment, and walked towards Wen Qing.
Wen Qing resisted the urge to avoid Sikong, stood where she was, watched Sikong walk in front of her, and handed over the reins.
Wen Qing raised his hand to pick it up, but Sikong didn't give him the reins directly, but held his hand.
The back of his hand was chilly, as if the chill was about to penetrate into his bones.
Wen Qing didn't dare to avoid his hand, she flexed her fingers and hooked the rein in Sikong's hand.
Sikong lowered his eyes, stroked the delicate skin on the back of his hand with his fingertips, and said softly: "Be careful when you go out."
The housekeeper took a step forward, and calmly said to Sikong, "Don't bother the young master."
"I will take good care of my wife."
Wen lightly pursed his lips, and asked Sikong following the topic: "Do you want to go out together?"
"No," Sikong bent his lips, turned sideways, leaned in front of Wen Qing, and gently kissed his forehead, "I'll wait for you at home."
Wen Qing's body was stiff, and the place where Sikong kissed was also chilly.
Sikong raised his hand to touch the horse's back, and said to Wen Qing: "Go early and come back early."
"Mother."
Wen Qing held the rein and wanted to go out, but Sikong stood in front of him and asked indifferently: "Aren't you going to get on the horse?"
Wen Qing's eyelids twitched, and she immediately said, "Yes."
He stood by the side of the horse, looked at the stirrup, raised his foot to step on it, and then rode onto the horse's back with difficulty.
In fact, it is not difficult to get on a horse, but how to ride a horse is rare.
Wen Qing gripped the rein tightly, not knowing what to do.
Sikong looked at his stiff movements, and said slowly: "Mother's horsemanship is not good, it's still—"
Before finishing speaking, the housekeeper stepped forward, jumped on the horse, and sat behind Wen Qing.
Seeing this, the smile on Sikong's lips faded by two points, and he looked at the housekeeper coldly: "Madam, can you touch something like this?"
The butler said lightly, "I'm sorry, ma'am."
Wen Qing said dryly, "It's okay."
The housekeeper glanced at Sikong again, and said slowly, "I want to take care of Madam personally."
"Or is it that the young master is willing to go out together?"
Sikong's face darkened.
The butler withdrew his gaze, and without waiting for Sikong's response, took the rein from Wen Qing's hand and tugged lightly.
The black horse neighed and ran away from the stable.
Wen Qing didn't dare to turn her head to look at Sikong, but looked forward anxiously.
It was his first time riding a horse, and he thought it was fun at first, but after being bumped for a while, he thought it was not fun.
No matter how uncomfortable it is to sit.
Wen Qing couldn't help but kept adjusting her sitting posture.
Suddenly, the butler's voice sounded in my ears: "Relax."
Wen lightly responded, thinking that he was already very relaxed.
In the next second, a cold one covered his thigh and slowly moved down: "The leg relaxes and hangs down naturally."
"And so are the knees."
The coolness penetrated the pants and covered the skin.
Wen Qing's right leg was a little cold and a little itchy, and quickly followed the housekeeper's instructions, and it drooped naturally.
The butler didn't let go.
Wen Qing couldn't help but move.
The housekeeper said again, "Relax your legs."
Wen Qing replied vaguely, and said slowly: "It's still a little uncomfortable."
He originally wanted to ask the butler to take his hand away, but before he could say the first word, the butler said, "Relax your shoulders."
When the words fell to the ground, the butler leaned forward slightly, clinging to his back, and a cool breath burrowed into his collar.
Wen Qing shrank his neck, put a big hand on his chin, and slowly lifted it up: "Hold your head up and chest out."
"lady."
The butler's thumb pressed against his cheek, scratching lightly as he raised his head.
Wen Qing's face is also a little itchy, and her legs are still itchy.
After adjusting the posture, it is indeed not as uncomfortable as before.
He immediately said to the housekeeper, "You can let go of your hand."
"Yes." The butler replied, raised his hand on Wen Qing's lap, and held the rein,
He raised both hands, trapping Wen Qing in his arms.
There is not much room for the saddle, Wen Qing can only lean on the butler.
As the black horse ran, his cheek brushed against the butler's chin from time to time.
The touch of the butler's skin is exactly the same as that of a real person.
Wen Qing's cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly turned her attention to the roses around her.
They have been riding for a long time, and there are still large patches of roses around them, but there are very few red roses, most of them are roses of other colors.
Wen Qing looked back at the castle again.
The old castle has become a small black spot in the field of vision.
But they haven't left the territory of the castle yet.
It was dark before Wen Qing's eyes, it was such a long journey, even if Xiao Jiyu and the others agreed to leave with him, maybe they would regret it halfway.
After a long time, Wen Qing finally arrived at the place without roses.
No fences, walls or anything like that, it's a forest.
A group of armored soldiers walked along the edge of the forest in an orderly manner with weapons in hand.
After seeing Wen Qing and the housekeeper, they stopped, bowed together, and continued to patrol.
After entering the forest, the temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees, which was different from that in the castle.
If it is spring in the castle, this deep forest is the temperature of cold autumn.
Wen lightly shrunk his neck and put on the cap of his cloak.
Suddenly, a wave of heat came from behind, sticking to his back, and his whole back was warm.
Wen Qing's face changed slightly, and her eyes widened: "Housekeeper, are you broken?!"
The butler was silent for a moment: "No."
"Madam, don't you feel cold?"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Can your body temperature be changed?"
"Yes." The butler replied.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Wen Qing's small and fair chin, and asked in a low voice, "Does Madam feel hot enough?"
"I could have some more heat."
