The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth: External episode (2)

There is a quaint manor house in the beautiful town, among the lush gardens, the white buildings of the Baroque era stand tall.

This is the castle that the Field family has inherited for hundreds of years.

Anderson has been serving the Field family since his ancestors, and now he is the current butler of the Field family, in charge of this centuries-old castle. Every morning when he wakes up, he will arrange for his servants to take care of everything in the castle to ensure that everything in the castle is in order and can be inspected at any time. responsibilities.

And in recent years, the master has been spending more and more time living here. Compared with the bustling world outside, he seems to prefer the tranquility and comfort here.

This morning, Anderson put on his black tuxedo as usual, carefully put on a meticulous bow tie, put on white gloves, and started his day's work.

When he came outside, Mars was already waiting in the side hall. He said with a smile, "This is the latest work of the little painter, "Night Colors". of."

Anderson nodded and smiled. He came to the table, took out a sharp paper cutter, and carefully cut the paper outside the painting. A beautiful picture appeared in front of his eyes.

He admired it for a moment, and said to Mars: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency the Earl will be satisfied, and I will have someone call you for the reward later."

Mars showed a look of joy. He knew that Earl Field had always been generous. As long as he could get something he liked, he would naturally get a lot of rewards. In recent years, he had helped the Earl buy a lot of Ji Ling's paintings. It's just that he doesn't understand, what is it about that young painter from the far eastern country that deserves Earl Field's attention? Although Ji Ling is very talented...but he is just a newcomer after all, and Earl Field used to only collect the works of famous painters like Van Gogh. Ji Ling's paintings are not enough to meet the standards of his collection...

Mars shook his head in doubt, and when he was about to leave, he added: "By the way, I found out that the little painter will come to hold an art exhibition on the 8th of next month. Maybe the earl will be interested in this news."

Anderson nodded: "I see."

Mars said nothing more, smiled and left.

Anderson watched Mars leave, and took the painting to the collection room on the east side of the castle.

Earl Field's collection has always been extensive, and the family collection has a long history. However, outsiders are never allowed to visit his collection room. If anyone can see it, they will be amazed that there are so many famous collections in it... But Anderson knew that His Excellency the Earl didn't care about these things, and he preferred to collect the works of a painter named Ji Ling.

Even for this reason, those priceless collections were moved to other rooms, and the largest collection room was vacated for Ji Ling's paintings.

Anderson hung the latest paintings on the wall. He has always taken care of this collection room by himself. This is Earl Field's most beloved collection. Of course, it must be treated with caution, and it is certainly more important for him to do it by himself than any servant. More reliable, keeping the things that the master cherishes well for the master, this is his professional quality as a qualified housekeeper.

After finishing all this, Anderson took a closer look.

Over the past few years, the originally empty collection room has become more and more full. Dozens of paintings have been hung on the walls. ...

This is indeed a very talented young man, and he has gained some fame in the world painting circles in recent years, but what really makes Anderson more curious is not his paintings, but his relationship with Earl Field.

Anderson recalled that yesterday, his wife curiously asked him about Earl Field. Although the children kept silent, they couldn't help but gossip about the private life of the castle owner.

In fact, throughout the aristocracy and upper class, there are not a few people who are curious about this.

Earl Field is not young anymore, but he has no idea of ​​getting married so far. In the past few years, no one cared about this matter, because Earl Field has always been romantic and has countless lovers. As he is, he is not in a hurry to get married It's really normal, women are also happy to have a romantic relationship with him. Although he is not married, his private life is not boring, but in recent years... Earl Field seems to be tired of this kind of life of hanging around flowers. Accepting the approach of those women, he even began to live in seclusion, living in his family's castle all year round, and rarely attended any outside activities.

If you don't want to get married and don't want to get married, then it's not normal.

Some people think that Earl Field has found true love, and the reason why he no longer lingers in the flowers is because he is about to get married. What kind of woman can make this romantic and ruthless guy decide to change for her?

But one year, two years, three years passed...

There is still no one around Earl Field, let alone married, and there has not even been a scandal.

Everyone has to realize that His Excellency the Earl may really just be tired of that extravagant and casual life and want to cultivate his health?

Although he is in his prime, His Excellency the Earl seems to have entered the twilight years of wanting nothing. He doesn't care about anything or anyone, as if everything in this world doesn't matter to him .

But only Anderson knows that the Earl actually cares about someone.

That is the young man named Ji Ling from the far eastern country. Since the Earl went to that country once, not only has he become more unfathomable after returning, sometimes Anderson will feel that even himself is in the eyes of the Earl. , is just like a small ant...

Except for the news of that young man, there is nothing that can arouse the interest of His Excellency the Earl.

For five years, the collection room was filled with Ji Ling's paintings.

Your Excellency the Earl would come here from time to time, but he would not stay for a long time. He usually just came to have a look, and then left, let alone taking the initiative to meet that person.

Except for the time when the young man got married a year ago, His Excellency the Earl has never set foot in that country again. As if he was restraining something, Anderson remembered that once, out of curiosity, he asked His Excellency the Earl: If you want to see him , why not go?

Your Excellency the Earl said with a smile: Because it is not the time yet.

Anderson doesn't understand, if he wants to see someone, when should he?

Anderson has also investigated the young man's news, and wants to know what makes him worthy of the Earl's attention. Could it be that he is the one who changed the Earl? But he didn't get any useful information.

If Your Excellency the Earl loves Ji Ling, why don't you go to see him and bring him back? And Ji Ling is married to someone else, so it shouldn't be love. So Anderson thought again, is Ji Ling the Earl's illegitimate son? But this guess seems even more absurd...

Anderson shook his head, threw away those messy thoughts, turned and closed the door of the storage room.

When he came to the dining room, he saw that His Excellency the Earl had just finished his breakfast.

The elegant brown-haired man gently put down the knife and fork, wiped the corner of his mouth with a white handkerchief, raised his eyebrows and said, "Anderson, what's the matter today?"

Anderson bent down respectfully, and said: "Mars brought Ji Ling's latest painting, which I have put in the collection room, and I learned that Ji Ling will hold an art exhibition in London on the 8th of next month."

Carlos raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "I see."

After Anderson finished his daily report, he saw that Carlos was about to leave without giving any instructions. At this moment, Carlos suddenly said, "I've decided to hold a banquet here for celebrities and some young artists. The time... will be decided. On the night of the eighth."

Anderson raised his eyes in astonishment, "Night on the eighth?"

Carlos said: "Yes, you can arrange it, I hope to see the guests I want to see."

Anderson suddenly understood, bowed respectfully and replied: "Yes, I will definitely be ready, don't worry."

………………

At the end of the art exhibition, Ji Ling watched the staff take down the paintings one by one and carefully pack them in boxes. This is the last stop of his art exhibition tour, and he can go home after the end.

Remembering that he had been away from home for a while, Ji Ling took out his mobile phone and sent Ning Yu a message: I will go home tomorrow.

Ning Yu's news will come back soon: I will pick you up.

Ji Ling: Good.

He couldn't help but smile when he read the message, and he was a little bit eager to return to his heart. Speaking of which, it has been more than two months since he left home this time...

It is the first time that she and Ning Yu have been separated for such a long time.

Ji Ling came to the outside of the corridor, looked at the faces of foreigners coming and going downstairs, and suddenly remembered that Carlos was in this country. He once told himself that if he came to his country, he would Treat yourself.

But Ji Ling never thought of contacting Carlos. For him, everything in that world is in the past tense. Carlos has never come to him in these years, except for once on the wedding day. disappeared from his world.

After a few years, Carlos has gradually become a vague symbol. Since Carlos didn't bother him, he naturally wouldn't bother Carlos either.

Not to mention using Carlos' resources.

Recalling those things that happened in the past, Ji Ling couldn't help but smile, as if he had the feeling of looking back at his childish behavior when he was a child when he grew up. The big villain is scared like a frightened bird. He loses his hair every day in order to protect himself, and is often forced to make a lot of troubles... If he does it all over again, he might handle it better, right?

But in life, there are always some regrets.

At this time, Isaac, the owner of the gallery, came over from the opposite side and smiled brightly at Ji Ling from a distance: "Hey, so you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Isaac is a tall white man, he is generous and has many friends. It is because of his invitation that Ji Ling came here to hold the art exhibition. They have known each other for more than two years, and they are good friends.

Isaac put his arms around Ji Ling's shoulders and said, "Are you really going to stay for a few days?"

Ji Ling smiled and shook his head: "No, I have to go home."

Isaacla said in a long tone: "There must be a soul-stirring beauty waiting for you at home, otherwise why every time I want to invite you to stay longer, you always say you want to go home?"

Ji Ling pondered for a moment: "Well, she is a beauty."

Isaac was speechless, and said with hatred: "Even if you are really a beauty, the house flowers are not as fragrant as the wild flowers! Forget it, I won't talk to you idiot, since you are leaving tomorrow, today I will leave you." Accompany me to a banquet tonight."

Ji Ling doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, some don't want to go, said: "I want to go back and have a good rest."

Isaac said with a stern face, "Some of my friends want to meet the famous painter Ji Ling, so I must take you there tonight. It’s fine if I don’t have this friend.”

Ji Ling: "..."

Seeing that Ji Ling didn't speak, Isaac assumed that he had agreed, and said with satisfaction: "Dear Ji, I knew you were a loyal person. Don't you have a saying in China that calls for two friends? Is it a knife?"

Ji Ling: "..."

Is your analogy wrong? First of all, our relationship is not good enough, and secondly, attending a banquet is really not double-edged.

But if Ji Ling considerately didn't correct his friend, let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

Isaac was driving on the road, humming a song and tapping on the steering wheel, seeming to be in a very happy mood, but the road here is getting more and more remote, and it seems to be the way out of the city.

Ji Ling looked at his friend suspiciously. If he wasn't convinced that they had a good relationship, he would have suspected that he was going to kill someone to silence him.

Just when he was thinking about whether to ask where he was going, a gorgeous and brightly lit castle appeared in a remote town. Ji Ling suppressed the question in his throat, it seemed that it was really true Someone is hosting a banquet here!

Isaac turned his head and smiled at Ji Ling: "Look, we are here."

The car drove into the long driveway, with lush flowers on both sides of the driveway, it can be seen that everything here has not been neglected, it should be the territory of some nobleman, not some uninhabited haunted castle.

Ji Ling paused: "Who is your friend?"

Isaac blinked mysteriously, and said, "You will find out when you go."

Ji Ling showed a helpless smile, this guy is still playing with mystery.

Although Isaac refuses to say it, Ji Ling doesn't care. He will get to know him when he sees him later. After a few years, he is no longer the childish and easily flustered boy he used to be. Because time completely becomes another person, but with the growth of experience, it will always grow and change slowly.

Isaac brought Ji Ling to the castle. The butler of the castle was a middle-aged man with blond hair and brown eyes, dressed in a black tuxedo, and welcomed them in respectfully.

Isaac was very polite to the housekeeper and said, "Mr. Anderson, go and do your work, and leave us alone."

Anderson smiled slightly: "Okay, if you have any questions or needs, please let me know." After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Ling again, showing a thoughtful smile: "Mr. Enjoy your night here."

Ji Ling nodded politely and smiled.

Isaac waited for Anderson to leave before he said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I've been here. The last time Fei... the last time His Excellency the Earl held a banquet here was several years ago."

Ji Ling asked curiously, "Your Excellency?"

Isaac said exaggeratedly: "Hey, didn't I tell you before? The owner here is a real nobleman."

Ji Ling chuckled: "You may have forgotten."

Isaac patted his forehead. At this time, a friend from the opposite side called him, and he said, "You transfer by yourself for a while, I'll go and say hello, and I'll be right back with you, wait for me and don't run around , I will introduce a friend to you later!"

Ji Ling: "..."

I have never seen such an unreliable person...

Ji Ling waited in place for a while, but because there were too many people, Isaac was gone in a blink of an eye. Ji Ling shook his head. Isaac left him, and he was naturally not interested in waiting where he was, so Ji Ling simply walked out of the hall, thinking about how to go back later.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air here is very fresh, and it seems to be filled with the fragrance of vegetation.

The garden is well maintained, with white hollow metal lamps hanging on both sides of the cobbled path, emitting a warm yellow light.

Ji Ling walked casually, and saw a corner of a deep red rose in front of him. He walked over involuntarily, lowered his head and sniffed, and the refreshing fragrance came in from his nose.

From a distance, there is only one corner, but after walking in, I realized that there is something strange here. It turned out to be a very vast rose garden. Fireflies are flying in the night sky, like stars shining. In the center of the garden is a stone table made of white marble. and stools.

Ji Ling stood there in a daze, and for a moment, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It's as if I've seen this scene somewhere before.

But I can't remember, it's obviously his first time here.

Ji Ling frowned and thought about it for a while, but he didn't think about it. It was very quiet and there was no one else. Ji Ling was worried that he had come to a place where he shouldn't be. As soon as he turned around, he heard a low laugh coming from behind him.

"I want to try my best to restore it, but there are no broad-leaved plants from blue sea stars on the earth, so it feels a little bit worse..."

Ji Ling paused and turned around in astonishment.

I saw an elegant and handsome man with brown hair and brown eyes slowly walking out of the flowers. He held a black metal cane, raised his eyebrows and showed an elegant smile: "It's really hard to see you once." , so please forgive me for not telling you my identity before inviting you."

Ji Ling was really surprised just now, but he calmed down quickly. It was really like what Carlos would do, and this garden, he finally remembered why it felt familiar... At that time, he had just come back from the second brush, I was invited to stay in Carlos's mansion for a few days. At that time, Carlos's mansion had such a rose garden. For that world, roses were a kind of rare and ancient plants that were extremely near extinction, not as they were in the earth period. Everywhere.

He had only seen that garden in Carlos' home.

Ji Ling looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Actually, if you just want to invite me as a guest, you can just say so, and I won't refuse."

Carlos looked at him for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared in his eyes, and said, "You have changed a lot."

The boy who used to be always afraid of him, afraid of him, and tried his best to escape from him, is now a mature and stable young man, and he will deal with him calmly and without humility.

You can even say such words calmly.

Instead of blindly escaping.

Carlos shrugged his shoulders, and his smile deepened: "Because I have invited you many times, but you have never come, let alone come to me, I thought you would not want to see me."

Ji Ling was silent for a moment, and said: "It's just a polite talk, I won't take it seriously."

Carlos showed a hurt look when he heard the words: "I haven't seen you for so long, it's really heartbreaking for you to say such things."

Ji Ling has long understood that this guy is good at disguising, so he said blankly: "Really?"

Seeing that Ji Ling was indifferent, Carlos had no choice but to withdraw his injured expression, shrugged and said, "You are more ruthless than before."

Ji Ling wondered if it was his honor to be called ruthless by the real most ruthless villain.

Carlos walked over step by step, looked around at the roses around him, and looked down at Ji Ling: "Do you still remember this place?"

Ji Ling nodded.

Carlos looked at him deeply, raised the corners of his lips, and said meaningfully: "I lied to you to come here, and you really came here stupidly, or maybe you knew I had ulterior motives, but you thought I wouldn't What to do with you, in fact, this is a very naive and risky behavior, sending myself into the hands of people who plot against you... I can definitely do more extreme things to you."

Ji Ling: "..." He couldn't refute this sentence, Carlos was right, he was very naive at that time.

He felt that since Carlos dared to invite him openly, he would definitely not be able to do anything to him, but this person, his methods were a hundred times more treacherous and cruel than he thought, and his thoughts were beyond his ability to guess , I missed a thought, but I really almost confessed myself there...

Thinking about it now, I had to thank Carlos for his mercy when I was able to leave safely.

Ji Ling pursed her lips: "...But you didn't do that."

Carlos suddenly raised his hand, raised Ji Ling's chin, and laughed jokingly: "How do you know if I did anything?" I kissed you secretly while you were asleep, that was—your first kiss, right?"

Ji Ling's pupils shrank, and finally he looked shocked, what? ! Did something like this happen back then? !

He has no idea!

He thought his first kiss was taken by Jing Sui...

Unnatural blush finally appeared on Ji Ling's face, "You, what nonsense are you talking about."

Carlos said slowly: "Not only your first kiss, but also your first wedding, all belong to me... almost, even your first time..."

Ji Ling's face darkened suddenly: "Shut up."

Carlos did not shut up, his brown eyes were deep, and his tone was low with a smile: "Can I invite you to dance with me? Before you leave-"

Ji Ling fell silent again.

The man's palm rested on his waist, he gently pulled, approached, and took soothing steps.

Ji Ling's hand was held by the other party, and he walked gently with the other party's beat, listening to the music humming softly from the man's throat. There was no accompaniment, and the tune was not accurate, but Ji Ling could tell that this was He often heard the famous tune in that world at noble banquets, it was melodious and long.

Carlos stopped humming for a long time, and his eyebrows became more profound in the night.

After the dance, he lightly raised Ji Ling's hand, and kissed the back of Ji Ling's hand.

Ji Ling looked down and finally saw the ring on the other party's finger. At that time... Carlos gave him another one, but he didn't accept it.

Originally, I just wanted to say goodbye to the other party, but suddenly my mood was a little complicated, Ji Ling said: "You don't have to do this."

Carlos smiled casually: "Which one?"

Ji Ling looked into his eyes and said word by word: "You have been in my world for five years, you know very well what your world is like, and you also know what my world is like, and you know even more that everything is just one thing." A misunderstanding, a coincidence, I'm not as good as you imagined, I just did that to complete the task, those are just my people's disguise... and in my real world, I'm nothing more than thousands of people He is just one of the ordinary people. He is afraid, selfish, and works hard to survive, but he is not that brave..."

"I know." Carlos interrupted him, and said with a faint smile: "But so what?"

Ji Ling stared at him blankly.

Carlos said: "I have seen the vast and boundless universe, I have also seen a galaxy annihilated before my eyes, and I have seen countless amazing and brilliant human beings. The rise and fall and fall of dynasties...but when I had everything and fell from a height, there just happened to be such a person in front of me, so...I like you not because you are so good or different, but because Because you happen to be that person."

Ji Ling's throat was a little astringent: "But I..."

With a smile in his eyes, Carlos said slowly: "I didn't see you today to trouble you. Although to me, you are indeed the one-in-a-kind exception...but what do you really look like? , I will use my own eyes to see, rather than listen to you, I like you is just my business.

What you should know is that the fact that I like you does not affect my current life, nor does it prevent me from enjoying everything I have.

In fact, I should thank you for allowing me to stop and take a look at the beautiful scenery around me. "

Carlos said: "I invited you here today, just to tell you that I am doing well."

Ji Ling stared at him for a long time, then smiled: "I see, thank you."

He paused, turned around, and said before leaving: "Goodbye."

Carlos smiled and watched the young man leave.

Not long after, Anderson came out from the shadows and whispered, "Are you really letting him go like this?"

Carlos tapped his finger on the cane lightly, and he smiled slightly: "Do you know what the best way to love someone is?"

Anderson asked: "What is it?"

Carlos' thoughts seemed to be drifting away.

People who love each other are happy to be together, but forcing someone who doesn't love you to be around is just wishful thinking, and it makes both of them suffer.

He is always used to destroying everything, even if it is the one he loves, he will plunder and possess it by any means.

Only after being reborn in two lifetimes did one understand the simplest truth.

That is to love someone, you should learn to let go.

"Let's go, the dinner party is about to start." Carlos shook his head and turned around, with a smile on his lips, his voice diffused in the night: "I can't keep my guests waiting."
