"Well...that's not necessarily because she excluded you intentionally." Wayne tried to treat Echos as a stranger, and tried to persuade her fairly.
"It seems that because her magic level is too high, she is not subject to many regulations of the city guard, and she does not have a fixed office location like other ordinary guards. I don't know these rumors, isn't it normal?"
The aristocratic circle of the royal capital is such a place with strange social styles.
Once you are accepted into a certain circle, you will often find that there are many secrets that are kept secret in the eyes of others. But if you are excluded from the circle, you may try your best to find out what you want to know. news.
The so-called secret is also one of the resources for communication between nobles.
"I thought so before..." Richard sighed, "But since I saw her last time at the Edgeworth family's banquet, I can no longer deceive myself with such a reason. ”
Good guy, the co-author personally broke through Richard's fantasy and forced him to accept reality.
Wayne had mixed feelings.
"She will obviously accept invitations to other nobles' banquets, but she is not really determined not to associate with anyone else." At this point, Richard let out a long and depressed breath.
"She just... doesn't want to associate with me, an 'irrelevant person'."
Wayne didn't know what to say to this unexpected follow-up.
Should he be allowed to continue to work hard?
Said: As long as you pursue it sincerely, sooner or later one day you will be sincere and the stone will be opened?
Isn't this a bit too deceptive? The little bit of conscience that Wayne had left refused to do so.
"Hmm... it's really painful to pursue a life without any hope at all."
he said to himself.
For some reason, when he said this, he suddenly wanted to see Ge Li.
At the beginning, wasn't she trapped in the pain of not being able to love her in front of him?
Although the current situation is different from before, has she been freed from that pain?
I'm afraid not.
Instead, it became the torture of clearly seeing hope right in front of you, only to find out that it was just a dream.
How can something fake become real?
——No, that's not right.
My feelings for her have never been half false.
…
The night is already deep.
However, there was still a light on in a certain bedroom of the Edgeworth house.
The school rules of Qingxi Academy are actually not too strict, and they are only average among all the academies in the royal capital. However, if you want to copy it a hundred times, it will be too difficult for a person.
Ge Li was tired and sleepy, and had to work up his energy to copy one stroke at a time.
She didn't want her father to notice anything about Wayne, so she didn't recruit servants to help her cheat.
——Since he said he would write it himself, then I will write it myself.
Although she thought so hard in her heart, she kept writing until her hands were sore and she was still far away from the final goal. She couldn't help but feel more and more wronged.
Her writing gradually stopped.
'...If it was Chris, he must be reluctant to make her work so hard, right? '
This idea always pops up in my mind from time to time.
Just when she was a little distracted, the ajar window was gently pushed open.
A black shadow moved in skillfully.
Then, another familiar voice sounded in the room: "Why are you still up so late and sitting in front of the table in a daze?"
Ge Li came back to his senses and glanced at the window.
He seemed to have finally remembered that he still existed, or maybe he just had a long night of sleeplessness and wanted to find someone to kill time.
Seeing that Ge Li was looking at him without saying anything, Wayne casually untied his cloak and threw it aside, and walked towards Ge Li.
"Have you encountered anything unhappy? Huh?" As he spoke, he put his face against Geli's and rubbed it gently.
Then, he turned his eyes and saw several papers spread out on the table.
"Qingxi Academy Campus Rules and Regulations Combined Edition"
"..." The slight smile on the corner of his lips froze on his face.
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Ah, so I'm copying this..." Wayne laughed.
"Actually, I didn't mention the deadline on purpose, so it doesn't matter if I hand it in later."
In fact, if she just cheats, she won't do anything.
Even before he proposed this as a condition, he was already prepared to be rejected.
Until then, Geli said coldly as if he felt ironic: "Hmph, do you think I will be like you?"
"What's wrong with me..." Wayne felt a little aggrieved.
Obviously I came here because I missed her, but in the end I didn't even get a good look, and was even yelled at.
Song Li lowered his eyelids, "For me, even if I win in the end because of cheating, I still can't feel the joy of victory."
After the words fell, there was a wordless silence in the room for a while.
"——Okay, I understand." Wayne nodded.
He walked to the side and brought another stool and placed it next to Song Li.
"Give me a pen and I'll copy it for you," he said.
Instead of feeling moved or anything like that, Uta Rei felt more angry. "I told you I don't want to cheat..."
"This is not a lie." Wayne reached out and held her hand that was holding the pen tightly.
"In the eyes of my boyfriend, your hard work is my hard work, and I have the right and obligation to share it with you."
Since she refused to give him the pen, he would not let her continue to copy.
"Tsk! Who admitted that you are my boyfriend?" Geli said with a smile.
"Then...lover?" Wayne said uncertainly.
So, she hit her arm again.
Tsk, Kareli is becoming more and more violent just like Chris.
While brainwashing himself with the logic that "beating means kissing and scolding means love," Wayne grabbed her hammered hand and clasped his fingers with hers.
"Don't be angry with me anymore..."
He hugged Geli from behind and felt the beauty of her entire upper body. "I'll feel sad too."
Ge Li's grievance finally couldn't be endured anymore.
"Obviously you asked me to copy it, and now you come here to be a good person. How can it be so easy!" She looked away, looking like she was about to cry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Wayne quickly knelt on the chair with one leg and reached out to hold her cheek.
"I know I can be annoying sometimes. It's all my fault. I promise I will never do it again in the future!" He has always had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes.
Ge Li said angrily: "Every time you promised me, you never thought about fulfilling it!"
