This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Chapter 274 Lovers 33

what happened to him?

Temperance is a bit doubtful.

But his pounding heart gave him a completely different feeling from his usually calm mood.

That feeling was dangerous and beyond control, but he didn't seem to hate it.

"Do we... know each other?"

The blonde girl downstairs asked him again, her voice gentle, still familiar, yet with an inexplicable power that could touch one's heartstrings.

Jiezhi didn't respond. He was very surprised by his own reaction. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. He was... at a loss.

So he hid in the room helplessly.

"It seems my new teammate is very innocent and shy..."

The blonde girl muttered with a smile.

"Yes, Miss Jin, I believe that no one present here can resist your charm."

The butler smiled almost flatteringly, but strangely, although it was an attitude of flattery, there was not a trace of disgust in the young butler.

However, compared to his politeness towards other players, the villa manager's attitude towards Miss Jin was extremely good, and his attitude was much more humble.

The girls watched the two of them leave with their mouths wide open before looking away.

“…She is indeed very attractive.”

After a while, a girl touched her heart and made this comment.

"When she smiled just now, my heart seemed to be moved violently."

Another girl followed suit.

"Me too... If I were to date someone like that, even if it was a girl, it wouldn't be a bad idea..."

……

The night of that day seemed to come especially quickly. Temperance stood at the window of the room, quietly. All his original thoughts and plans seemed to be forgotten in an instant.

On the windowsill lay the dagger he had brought with him.

The dagger, like him, stayed with him quietly and silently for the entire afternoon.

It was already pitch black outside the window. Because the amusement park was not open for business, the huge Ferris wheel had long since disappeared into the darkness.

My heart seemed to beat slower, and it was gradually calming down. It seemed that even my brain was calming down as well.

squeak-

The door that had been closed all afternoon was gently opened from the outside. Someone walked in in the dark, and then there was silence.

The lights in the room were not turned on as Jiezhi had expected, but he didn't know when, as his eyes moved, he saw a shadow beside him that was almost hidden in the darkness.

It's...her.

That...the girl he just met in the afternoon.

His... teammates.

"Do you like standing quietly in the dark like this?"

The girl asked gently.

As she spoke, he felt his heart begin beating uncontrollably again.

"I used to like this feeling very much, but after I lost him, I realized that it wasn't the darkness that I liked. It was just because he was in the darkness that I started to like it too."

"When he's around, the night is a peaceful and tranquil land of beautiful dreams, but when he's gone, the night is a land of unbearable and lonely nightmares."

The girl spoke slowly, like a light feather, gently brushing across people's hearts.

"He is...your lover?"

After a moment's silence, Jiezhi asked as if he had realized something belatedly.

"Yes."

"He is my lover, my beloved."

"Do you believe that there are supernatural powers and ghosts in this world?"

The girl suddenly asked this question slowly.

"I believe."

This time, Temperance answered quickly, simply because he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Haha."

"You actually believe it so firmly."

Jiezhi did not answer. He had seen his brother's supernatural power and had also seen so-called ghosts, so he believed it firmly.

But the people in this world will never see it.

"Do you know what the most painful thing about love itself is?"

The girl asked, staring at the darkness outside the window.

"It's... being killed by someone you once loved or still love."

Thinking of that pitiful girl, Temperance answered.

"It's certainly painful, but I think it's like two people who love each other deeply, both still alive like monsters, will never see each other again. They can only... live in agony, but they don't dare to die, so they can only live with a glimmer of hope that they know is slim."

"...It does sound painful."

After thinking about it, he made an objective evaluation.

Perhaps the girl's sad mood also affected him, making him unconsciously feel a rare sadness.

There was silence for a while, until... there was a regular knock on the door.

Temperance turned around, walked to the door and opened it.

It was bright outside, like two completely different worlds compared to the pitch-black interior.

The young butler stood at the door gracefully, with a smile on his lips as if he had undergone standardized training.

"Dear players, we've prepared a grand fireworks show for you tonight. It'll start in half an hour, and you can see it from the window~"

Temperance nodded expressionlessly.

The butler smiled and left.

His restrained hand touched the light switch. He felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Perhaps light could dispel these heavy feelings.

"A fireworks show? In my world, I've also watched fireworks with him. They were the most beautiful and brilliant fireworks I've ever seen."

"Those are mechanical fireworks he made himself. I don't know what principle he used to make the fireworks, which originally only shone brightly for a moment, bloom forever."

“Perhaps our fireworks are still blooming, but the people watching them are no longer here.”

The girl's words were like a gentle stream, clear and soft. She spoke slowly and told the story step by step, making people unable to help but continue listening.

He subconsciously withdrew his hand that was holding down the switch and listened attentively.

"But he always manages to create incredible things. He has countless fantastic ideas and new concepts, and possesses a strong curiosity and desire to explore. He is respected for his creations and worshipped for his military prowess. His abilities are extraordinary. To me, he is like a man-made god."

From the girl's words, it is not difficult to imagine that her lover is indeed very outstanding.

"I couldn't accept losing him, and just like he did later, he couldn't accept losing me."

"After he lost me, I watched him collapse step by step. I was clearly by his side every moment, but he could no longer feel me. I felt very sad, desperate, and heartbroken."

"Then I made a deal, secretly thinking it would make him less miserable, even though I would disappear."

"I just don't know why, but I survived again, in another form, in a completely unfamiliar place."

The girl spoke, her voice still beautiful enough to seduce the heart, but the restraint slipped unconsciously, and she became more immersed in the story she was telling.

"What caused the separation between you?"

he asked.

"Yes... I think it's probably because of the protection."

The girl pondered for a long time and gave this answer.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of fireworks suddenly rang out outside the window.

Both of them looked up.

The fireworks outside the window are the fireworks in my memory, brilliant, colorful, and in various forms, lighting up the entire night sky moment after moment.

From time to time, the exclamations and praises of passers-by could be heard on the street, but neither of them said anything.

Temperance knows that it is destined not to be the most beautiful fireworks.
