When Shalltear saw Langdon again the next day, she was a little frightened.

The blond boy sat behind the desk as usual, his handsome face frowning.

His gorgeous coat was hung on a hanger beside him, and the first button of his black shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the glaring white bandage around his neck.

"What's wrong with you?" Shatia asked in surprise.

"Huh? What?"

The documents in Langdon's hand were more important, so he still focused on the documents, and just responded casually, expressing that he knew that Shalltear had come in, but in fact he didn't hear what Shalltear was saying at all.

Shalltear noticed that Langdon was distracted, so she walked over, wanting to point to Langdon's neck more specifically: "It's here... ah!"

Langdon pinched her slender wrist violently with his left hand, and the palm, which was warmer than hers, pressed against the delicate skin of her wrist, giving Shalltear almost the illusion of being burned.

She subconsciously exclaimed.

"It hurts!"

Langdon came back to his senses, let go of his hand, and apologized again and again: "I didn't realize it... Sorry, are you injured? Do you want to apply some medicine? I happen to have a medical kit here."

Shalltear stepped back cautiously, and rubbed her wrist with the other hand: "It's nothing, I was just shocked."

Langdon wanted to nod, but because of the injury on his neck, he couldn't help frowning again: "...It's fine."

Shalltear was quietly relieved when she saw Langdon's hand touching the bandage with an absent-minded expression.

It really scared her just now.

It wasn't the suddenness of Langdon's movement—it was Langdon's expression.

On weekdays, although Langdon had a cold expression most of the time, he also explained that it was because when he was not in the mood, it would be tiring to have to make an expression. When he was in a mood, he would naturally laugh, and he did It was done in this way, so Shalltear never felt that Langdon had a bad temper or was unapproachable, and she also scoffed at similar rumors.

But she might have accidentally touched Langdon's warning line just now. The look Langdon looked at her at that moment was like the legendary flame burning on the bottom of the sea, with a cold and violent emotion. The blue eyes like sea water suddenly exploded.

Langdon had never looked at her with such dangerous eyes before, and she never thought that she would be looked at by Langdon with such eyes.

At that moment, Shalltear felt flustered that she didn't know what she had done wrong, and that she might be treated as an enemy in the next second.

But after calming down, she understood.

The emotion wasn't directed at her, it was supposed to be directed at the person who had Langdon's neck wrapped in bandages.

...who did it?

Xia Tiya had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask directly, but eased the atmosphere first, and said jokingly: "You were like a cat whose hair was blown just now."

As soon as the words came out, Shatiya was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a few seconds, and praised her intuitive metaphor.

Yes, it was disrespectful to say so, but forgive her, she really thought Langdon was a bit of a cat!

Just now, if Shalltear were asked to describe Langdon with animals, she might have considered animals like lions, or even foxes, which fit Langdon's character of trying to figure out people's hearts.

But now she feels that cats are the most suitable.

Usually looks very cold, but in fact, he just doesn't care much about strangers, he is very close to acquaintances, and he is very good at hiding pain. The expression of explosive hair at that moment just now, under the hostility is a well-hidden sorrow——

Shalltear always knew that Langdon was not a kind and gentle person in the traditional sense.

But he also has a very emotional side, which is what makes him hurt and what attracted her in the first place.

The aristocratic men she knew—or even most of them—were so ruthless, heartless, ruthless, and boring as stone, that Langdon's occasional fragility seemed to her like Glittering like a jewel.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Langdon would definitely be able to fight like Shalltear, but Shalltear just couldn't help but feel a strange desire to protect Langdon, which was something she had never felt for other people.

That's why she secretly complained that Langdon's methods against Helena were not cruel enough, and at the same time fell in love with him for being so restrained while holding great power.

Every part of Langdon that was similar to but different from the hypocritical and cruel men that Shalltear knew deserved her attention.

"Are you badly hurt?"

After the joke was over, Shalltear still asked with concern.

Langdon sighed: "It's not heavy, just scratched, but it seems that her sword has been enchanted, and the recovery is slow..."

"Who is she?" Xia Tiya's beautiful eyes behind the glasses narrowed slightly, she entered the state for a moment, and began to quickly go through the list in the file in her mind.

Langdon hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Lilika, my bodyguard when I was a child, is now an imperial knight, and she entered school yesterday as a swordsmanship teacher in the martial arts class."

Xia Tiya matched Lilica's name with the information, and asked, "Did you accidentally get it in class?"

Lilica was too low-key, and the deacons who were not playing at home could not find much about her deeds, so that Shalltear was not very clear about what Lilica had done, only that the relationship with Langdon seemed to be gradually estranged.

"Accidentally?" Langdon rolled his eyes. "She did it on purpose."

Shalltear was a little confused: "Why did she do this?"

"She said what made me hate her or something..."

Xia Tiya asked very curiously: "It sounds a bit strange, so what does she actually think in her heart when she says that?"

Langdon said bluntly, "How would I know?"

"...I thought you were good at analyzing people's hearts." Shalltear wondered.

"Analyzing people's hearts also depends on the situation. In this case, we only need to analyze the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. The main contradiction now is that she is hostile to me."

Langdon looked down at the document again: "So don't worry about what she thinks, since she said she wants me to hate her, then I'll take it as if she really thinks so, anyway, it doesn't conflict with the main conflict... Tell me when I will Are you good at analyzing people's hearts? I don't know anything about girls' thoughts, and I always feel that they are creatures from another world."

Shalltear skipped the complaints, and only thought Langdon was being modest, and she was ashamed to ask: "Then do you really want to hate her?"

"What I like the most is to say no to others. Just stay away from her. I don't want to waste my emotions and affect my work efficiency."

"That's it..." Shalltear complained, "I just think her request is weird..."

"Don't say that there may be hidden secrets. It's not that you don't have a long mouth. If you don't tell the secrets, you deserve it, especially the Riddler. Riddler, get out of Gotham...I mean, get out of this world."

At this moment, Langdon once again showed the rationality that suppressed his emotions when he dealt with the girl who once slandered him and came to apologize.

But after this palpitating coldness, he signed the document, looked up at Shalltear again, and showed his first smile of the day.

"I know you're worried about me, thank you, but it's okay, I've figured it out, they're not important to me."

The past will eventually pass, and only the present can determine the future.

Only by grasping the present can he become the master of the future.

Shalltear nodded: "I see... By the way, take out your medical kit."

Langdon was startled, with a worried expression on his face: "Why, your wrist is really injured?"

"No, it's your bandage. It seems to be bleeding again and needs to be changed again."

Xia Tiya approached slightly, and tilted her head to take a closer look: "Sure enough, it's not my illusion, it should be that you moved too much just now."

Langdon leaned back uncomfortably: "I see, I'll change it now."

"Let me help you." Xia Tiya volunteered, "Isn't it troublesome to change this position?"

Langdon said indifferently: "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Following Langdon's instructions, Shalltear found the medical kit, took out the medicine and bandages inside, and looked at it.

"If it's an enchanted wound, the effect of this medicine may be weakened...I'll go back tonight and prepare a new medicine for you."

She is an alchemist, and dispensing medicine is also a required course.

Langdon unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt in order to make it easier to apply the medicine and change the bandage, and replied casually, "Thanks."

Xia Tiya's mouth twitched: "You're welcome."

Langdon likes to thank this very much. Maybe others think it is too much face for the people below, but in Shalltear's view, this is a manifestation of Langdon's good character, and he even poured tea for her... ...so she couldn't understand how Helena would believe the rumors that Langdon was domineering.

Helena must be blind.

Shalltear murmured in her heart, and sanitized her hands neatly, then prepared the wound medicine, opened it to the collar, and smeared it on Langdon's neck, who tilted his head and waited for her to apply the medicine.

Langdon tilted his head, waiting for the medicine to finish, while reading the documents, but before he knew it, his attention focused on Shalltear.

Xia Tiya always works at another desk, or goes out to do some things that need to be negotiated for him. Everyone is very busy, and he will not stay too long if he gets close to him occasionally, and he will not be idle and stare at others. put.

But now, after Shalltear applied the medicine on him, she started to bandage him round and round seriously. Her hands were very dexterous, but she held the bandage around his neck from time to time, which made him a little nervous subconsciously.

Especially when her hand touched near his Adam's apple, he would swallow reflexively, so that he could clearly feel his Adam's apple rolling in Shalltear's soft and warm palm.

Shalltear's movements seemed to pause for a moment, and it seemed that it was just Langdon's illusion. She continued to wear the bandage calmly, her body seemed to have a faint fragrance like bergamot, and her gray-purple hair fluttered with her movements. Landing on the ground and shaking in front of Langdon, Langdon was a little distracted.

Langdon unconsciously stared at Shalltear's face.

Well, I don't pay much attention to it usually, but at this distance, he still can only see that Ciel's eyes are emerald green, and he still has no idea of ​​his specific appearance. It's not a matter of glasses blocking his face——

That is to say, isn't it time for Ciel's hair to be trimmed?Even if it is to store the inexhaustible magic power in the hair, the length of the bangs is a bit too much to block the line of sight, right?

Thinking of this, Langdon raised his hand casually, wanting to tease Shalltear's bangs, look carefully, and tease his friend for being so unkempt.

As a result, as soon as his hand was raised, Shalltear, who was bent over to bandage Langdon who was sitting, suddenly leaned back and stood up straight before he touched the ends of Shalltear's hair.

The problem was that the bandage was still on Shalltear's hand, and Langdon's neck was also pulled away when she moved away.

"Well!"

The victim, Langdon, could only stand up and pull the bandage towards him with one hand to reduce the strain on his neck. But at this moment, Shalltear hurriedly let go and backed away, and the roll of bandage in her hand fell to the ground. Open, and unfortunately stepped on by her foot.

Before Langdon could react, he felt the force and continued to pull hard. The bandage on Shalltear's feet was pulled by him, which directly caused her to lose her balance and fall backwards.

"Wow!"

After such a crouching crisis response, at the critical moment, Langdon grabbed Shalltear's wrist and moved towards him, and the two of them fell heavily on the sofa together.

Langdon was pressed down by Shalltear, her soft and light body was lying on top of him, her warm breath was on his collarbone, her heart was beating rapidly, hitting his chest one after another, and she didn't move for a long time.

There's no way, Shalltear is a little dizzy now.

She has never had such intimate contact with any man, not to mention that she is still concealing her identity and gender, and her alchemy glasses with confusing effects were just dropped, if found out——

At this time, she heard Langdon groan: "Brother, if you're okay, get up quickly, I won't be able to breathe."

Shalltear suddenly came back to her senses, and stood up helplessly... She didn't know where to put her hands, and she borrowed some strength from Langdon's chest as if she would be burned, and jumped away like a rabbit. The first time I picked up the glasses from the ground and put them on.

"me……"

Shalltear watched Langdon sit up with his head covered, and looked at herself questioningly. After a long time, she finally choked out: "Am I heavy?"

Langdon: "...?"

What kind of attention is this? Langdon was confused, but he still replied: "No, you are very light, don't you usually eat well?"

"Oh..." Xia Tiya really wanted to ask him if he had noticed anything, but she was afraid of alarming the snake.

In fact, Langdon really didn't feel anything. He just got up and lay down suddenly, which was enough to make his eyes go black, and he didn't have any room to feel anything else.

He just wanted to complain: "You react too much, I just want to say that you should cut your hair."

Shalltear kept holding her glasses nervously, trying to find an excuse: "I almost thought I was going to be poked in the eye from that angle, so..."

"You are wearing glasses... Hey, forget it, I moved too suddenly." Langdon scratched his hair and changed the subject nonchalantly, "Is the bandage going to be re-tied?"

Shalltear forced herself to calm down, and slowly approached to check: "Fortunately, one knot has already been tied, just tie the remaining knot."

"That's fine." Langdon raised his neck and asked Shalltear to continue to tie the knot for him. "Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you when you came in. How did you think about what happened yesterday?"

"what?"

"It's about being an assistant officer for me, are you thinking about it?"

Shalltear's heartbeat, which had finally stabilized, started beating violently again.

[ps: In this chapter, the 4k words are double-integrated, and by the way, please ask for a monthly ticket ~]

43. I'm not as good as you think

Of course, Shalltear had seriously considered Langdon's proposal. After all, the persuasive power was so strong, and several points touched her heart, so it's no wonder she wasn't moved.

But due to some reasons that she couldn't explain herself, Xia Tiya was obviously inclined to agree, but she still hesitated.

...Maybe it's because of keeping a distance from people all the time... Thinking of the close relationship with Langdon in the future, she felt a little uncomfortable, and her heartbeat would uncontrollably speed up.

An accident like the one just now might happen again. How long can she keep her secret secret?

"Charle?"

Langdon called her without urging.

Shalltear came back to her senses, put away the bandage knot, then took a step back and packed up the medical box: "I'm thinking about it. For such an important matter, you can't be the only one who thinks I'm suitable. Think about whether you are suitable or not?"
