Seeing the drunken and angry figure of the patrolman gradually disappearing in the distance, Sandino, although he didn't know what this adult had gone through to be so violent, at least he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when he was about to turn his head to explain to Anya why he was here, he found that the girl had been observing him for a long time with her watery eyes, and asked Sandino with a smile.
"Why did you come with me? It turns out that you are also curious about what is happening in this city. Aren't you worried about being caught?"
"Curiosity is just one aspect..." Sandino seemed a little nervous when asked by the girl, and cleared his throat pretending to be deep before continuing to explain.
"As a future baronet and a qualified gentleman, I, Sandino, will not let a beautiful lady be alone in a dangerous night! This goes against my principles and the rules of my family."
Listening to Sandino's decisive words. Anya was really surprised. She didn't expect that this timid boy would actually care about her.
"Oh..." Anya whispered in surprise. "Are you serious?"
"Yes!" Sandino nodded solemnly, but the strong expression did not last for more than three seconds on his face.
Thinking of how he would be criticized and punished if he was caught by the nuns at the school, Sandino immediately got cold feet. He changed his attitude very aggrievedly and tried to persuade him to stay.
"Of course, it would be better if you could change your mind... We can look around again during the day tomorrow, or wait until Cesare comes back..."
Faced with Sandino's proposal, Anya just laughed twice.
"Don't even think about it. What I hate most is waiting."
After Anya finished speaking, she raised her body and prepared to continue walking towards the teaching area, but Sandino followed closely and stopped Anya again. She was also worried that the other party would be disgusted with her because of her mother-in-law. Dino said quickly.
"Please wait a moment, if you insist on going..." Sandino said as he handed the black leather gloves he took out from the dormitory to Anya.
"I know it's impolite to ask a lady about the scars on her body... so I won't ask what's wrong with your fingers, but at least wearing this will make it less obvious..."
Anya looked at Sandino's nervous look and slowly took the pair of black leather gloves. They felt very thick and should have a good effect of keeping warm, but they were not beautiful and did not look like something a girl would wear.
Seeing that Anya didn't speak for a moment, Sandino became even more nervous. He had no experience with girls. He was afraid that Anya would be angry if he accidentally said the wrong thing, and that Anya would misunderstand his simple thoughts.
"Well, I didn't mention this on purpose! I was just worried that it would cause trouble to you if others saw it. I...I don't think it will affect anything. You still look good! It's not that the injury on your hand looks good... …Woo…”
Sandino kept explaining his behavior, and was so nervous that even the words he spoke became stumbling. The logic that could convince him turned into nonsense when spoken to the girl.
In the end, he didn't know what he was explaining, and the anxious boy turned his face red.
However, Sandino did not have any objection to Anya's severed fingers on her left hand, nor did he deliberately want to expose the girl's mutilated wounds.
He just wanted to help Anya, thinking that Anya might need a pair of gloves... He had no other intention, and he didn't want to be disliked by cute girls.
Sandino was still trying to explain. His own words were like a knotted hemp rope tied around his brain, almost burning to the point of smoking.
Slowly, the voice became smaller and smaller, leaving only the opening and closing of his mouth, but to Anya, Sandino's silly look was quite cute.
The girl was amused by Sandino, and then she obeyed the boy's wishes and put the gloves on her hands firmly. Although the little finger and ring finger of her left hand still looked a little weird, the finger gloves stood limply with nothing inside.
But overall it is indeed not as obvious as just now.
"Thank you."
Anya smiled sweetly, as warm and bright as the spring sunshine in the cold night. The girl's eyes were curved, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, making people feel that Anya's smile was so innocent and cute.
And the girl always shows her smile without hesitation, as if it has magic power that makes people want to get close to her.
The girl's smile also made Sandino feel warm in his heart. He was no longer as nervous as before. His face turned red shyly, and he cleared his throat again and replied weakly. "You're welcome……"
"So are you still coming? Brave and considerate gentleman?" Anya asked Sandino, like a question but more like an invitation. It seems that Anya has also had some slight changes in this timid boy. .
Anya's praise of herself seemed to turn on a certain switch in Sandino's body. In an instant, he could be said to be "flexible and flexible". The tension and inner hesitation just now were immediately cleared with a clear throat.
The boy's face changed from one of enjoyment to a proud one, and he couldn't help but laugh a few times.
Sandino's laughter reminded Anya of the silly big guy she met when she and Cesare were in the circus. She couldn't tell the specific reason, but she always felt that Sandino's laughter was similar to that stupid guy. Abnormal people have different approaches but similar effects.
But every time I think of that stupid big man who died in Fog Village to save Cesare and himself... I can't help but feel a little sad.
But the past is over after all, Anya raised her fluffy eyelashes and no longer thought about it too much.
And Sandino naturally didn't know this, let alone how funny his expression at this time was in the eyes of others. He patted his chest and said to himself.
"Of course, I always keep my word! If you don't believe me, you can ask Cesare, he knows me very well!"
With such a proud look, he completely forgot how afraid he was of being discovered escaping from bed just now, and began to be impatient to show his manhood in front of Anya.
She was happy beyond words and eager to continue confirming with Anya.
"You really think I'm brave, really? How can you tell?" Sandino asked continuously, but Anya just smiled and shrugged.
Unable to wait any longer, she did not respond to Sandino's question, but took the first step towards the crowded direction of the teaching area.
This time Sandino had made up his mind. Although his steps were much clumsier than Anya's and his body seemed less flexible in the flowers, he still followed closely behind Anya.
