But this man, really, wouldn't be any more gentle with her? !

Bellatrix couldn't help but stare up at Langdon.

Langdon, who met her gaze, smiled.

I don't know if he knows that he is too attractive, and it is easy to be misunderstood by others when he smiles too kindly. Langdon is usually expressionless, and when he smiles politely, most of them are cold, so occasionally seeing him sincerely smile, it is easy to be dazed.

Last time, Bellatrix was asked by Langdon who suddenly smiled enthusiastically at her to take care of Helena, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had already agreed.

This time too, Langdon stared at her with a smile in his blue eyes like the clear sky, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his handsome face suddenly became vivid in this rare smile.

"The comforting effect is too bad." His tone was extremely gentle when facing Bellatrix, "Look, don't you have more vitality now?"

"........."

Bellatrix was at a loss for a moment.

She couldn't help but be attracted by the smile at first, and stared blankly for a while, until Langdon recovered his expressionless face, before she had the energy to think about what Langdon said.

He meant that the effect of what he said was more useful than comfort?

... Judging from the results, it seems that this is indeed the case.

She was so focused on being angry just now that she forgot those suffocating and painful memories for a moment. If she was comforted, she might be trapped in that emotion even more.

Now that the emotion is broken, looking back, it doesn't seem so uncomfortable.

That being said, Bellatrix still felt aggrieved.

"...That, that can't just say this...won't you say something else?"

This was the first time in her life that she confessed her secrets to others, and the response she received was this kind of words. The more Bellatrix thought about it, the more she felt that it was worthless.

"Well, I think so too," Langdon readily admitted.

Bellatrix immediately stared at her closely, and said in a threatening tone: "Now I'll give you another chance to reorganize the language. If I'm not satisfied, I'll..."

Langdon raised his eyebrows: "Kill me?"

Bellatrix pursed her lips: "Yes! So you think it through before you speak!"

Langdon sighed: "There's no need to be so serious...Okay, okay, let me say."

Bellatrix unconsciously held her breath, and when she was nervous, she subconsciously put on a false smile to cover up her true emotions.

"Well, you are really amazing, Bella." Langdon said, "You have become very strong, and you are safe now. If you are in front of me, it doesn't matter if you don't act, just take a break."

Bellatrix's golden eyes slowly opened wide.

It wasn't the consolation she imagined, but a compliment that she hadn't thought of at all.

She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do—but before she fully understood the situation, her body had already reacted in advance.

Something slipped from the corner of her eyes with enthusiasm, and Bellatrix raised her hand to wipe it in panic.

"Huh? What's going on..."

Why are you crying?Bellatrix was at a loss.

Tears are a proof of weakness. She has not cried for many years. Every time she cried in the past, it would only increase the hatred and negative emotions in her heart.

As if she wanted to separate herself from the past, she resisted anything that reminded her of herself.

But now, with crystal tears rolling down her cheeks, she felt strangely relaxed and at ease... This was an experience she had never experienced before.

Even Bellatris herself didn't realize that she had been immersed in the shadow of her childhood all these years.

She maintains her image because she yearns for maternal love, which leads to her desire for approval from others.

She loathes the weak and hates everyone, which stems from her hatred of her inability to resist when she was a child.

The premise of pity or sympathy for others is to put yourself in a superior position and give charity to others.

But Bellatris did not lack these, and even saw many of them.

Because those who bullied the young Bellatris would not be stingy with giving these to Bellatris.

They would look at Bellatrix who was pushed into the pool and crawl out wet, and say sympathetically, "Why are you in such a mess?", as if they were not the ones who pushed her.

She would also put down her leftovers in front of Bellatrix who had been starving for two days, and said pitifully, "It's so pitiful, I gave these to you."

For Bellatrix, who wanted to deny her once weak self, this kind of emotion that put her in the perspective of a weak person is undoubtedly a stepping stone. Pray for comfort.

If Langdon's first reaction just now was to show her pity and sympathy, Bellatrix might be driven by past emotions to hurt Langdon.

But Langdon didn't.

He precisely avoided this trap, and instead of evaluating the weak Bellatrix in the past, he praised the current Bellatrix from a strange angle.

He said she was amazing, already strong.

He said that now there is no need to force himself to please others, and he can relax.

Bellatrix herself didn't know what kind of response she wanted, but when she heard Langdon's words, she felt that what she had been waiting for all this time might be to hope that someone would affirm her in this way.

She hides this expectation in the deepest part of her heart, and carefully disguises it, pretending not to care, but she hopes that someone can see through the layers of packaging and meet her expectations.

And Langdon did.

He fulfilled all the expectations hidden deep in her subconscious that she didn't even realize.

"you……"

Bellatrix opened her mouth to say something, but found that her voice was trembling due to the tightness in her throat.

Langdon looked at her with concern, and her figure was faintly reflected in his beautiful sapphire eyes.

Bellatrix blinked quickly, trying to hold back the tears.

Her wet golden eyes looked at Langdon, like the soft inside revealed after prying open a shell, revealing a weak emotion, but she said stubbornly.

"Don't look at me...you go away!"

It's so strange, she hasn't cried for a long time, and she has forgotten what it looks like to cry...

Langdon stood up gracefully, handed the handkerchief to Bellatrix in a gentlemanly manner, then turned his back and leaned against the bookshelf: "Okay, call me."

Bellatrix sniffed her nose, her voice was a little weak: "You are so annoying..."

It's always like this, so gentle in some details, what if she misunderstood.

"Okay, I'm annoying."

Langdon's tolerance for Bellatrix has suddenly increased a lot.

She was also raised by mental illness, and with Helena as a comparison, Bellatrix was very helpful at first glance, which made Langdon very relieved.

Even because Bellatrix, a serious princess, had such a miserable life, Langdon recalled his own growth experience, and felt that he was a little bit blessed.

He has been a little unlucky in the past two years. He actually lived a very happy childhood. He didn't know anything about the family's mess, and he was fine with nothing...

Langdon was filled with emotion.

After a while, Bellatrix cleared her throat: "Okay, come here."

Langdon turned around and looked over, and found that Bellatrix had returned to normal, but her red eye sockets and still overly moist eyes revealed what had happened before.

Compared with always smiling, Bellatrix looked calm at this moment, but she did feel a little more relaxed, and even her eyes seemed to be much clearer, without the gloomy atmosphere that suppressed madness in the past.

Langdon said, "I have long wanted to ask you if you are tired of smiling all day long... Now it seems that you are still tired."

Bellatrix: "..."

Is that why you are always so expressionless! ?Those who didn’t know thought you had opinions on people! ! !

Langdon came over to observe her, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it seems that I don't need to comfort you anymore, you can go now."

Bellatrix always felt as if she had forgotten something, and then remembered: "...? Wait, it seems that I haven't told a story today..."

"What time do you think it is?" Langdon complained, "I have class tomorrow, and I'm tired after hearing so much from you."

Bellatrix just wanted to refute that you are so tired of listening alone, but when she saw the tiredness between Langdon's eyebrows, she quickly realized that it meant that Langdon really listened carefully, and she suddenly felt guilty. Shut up.

But Langdon quickly changed his mind: "Forget it, I promised you... Let me tell you something short, don't order today, listen to what you want."

Bellatrix nodded quickly.

Keeping promises was a good habit, and she never laughed at Langdon again.

Bellatrix has not yet realized that she has a different sense of dependence on Langdon, who knows all about her past but still affirms herself, which is reflected in the fact that she will be more obedient.

After Langdon briefly told a short story, he politely opened the window and sent Bellatrix away in person.

Bellatrix didn't say anything sarcastic, "Do you really want me to leave quickly?" instead, she walked over obediently.

Holding on to the window, she turned her head to look at Langdon, her golden eyes revealed a kind of strange obedience.

Recalling the intimate "Bella" that Langdon called her just now, Bellatrix hesitated for a few seconds and said tentatively.

"Then... Lang, Langdon... good night, see you tomorrow?"

"good night Princess."

[Ps: Who would have thought that sympathy would step on thunder... Langdon is really good at this. 】

[pps: Added more, and I still owe two more added... Good night everyone. 】

22. It's better to choose myself (3k)

"good night Princess."

Langdon finished responding lightly, but found that Bellatris stood motionless by the window, and sighed for a moment: "What's wrong?"

He spent the whole night listening to her blah blah, absorbed a lot of negative energy, and didn't forget to tell her a story when he was so tired. If he took up his sleep time again, he would turn his back on him!

Now Langdon is not worried at all that Bellatrix will kill him, he just said hello to the king, and he is even secretly thinking about how to change the storytelling, even if it can't be canceled, at least change it to daytime……

Bellatrix pursed her lips: "It's nothing, I'm leaving."

Just called her Bella!Now it's back to being a princess again!What kind of time-limited title is this?

Fortunately, she deliberately changed the Duke to Langdon... Well, she will continue to call him Duke in the future!

Bellatrix cast her spell unhappily, just as her toes were off the ground, Langdon suddenly remembered something and stopped her, then took the shawl from the back of the chair and threw it over.

"Put it on, wear thicker next time."

Bellatrix pinched the shawl, looked at Langdon with complicated eyes, shook off the shawl, and finally left the Duke's mansion.

She was flying in the night, and the bitter night wind made her mind clearer.

While flying, Bellatris couldn't help but review what happened just now.

Although she was emotional for a while and poured out all the things she should say and shouldn't say to Langdon, overall, the result was not bad. At least Langdon didn't make a fuss or say something strange to irritate her, and she didn't have to think about what to do. Kill Langdon and silence him.

Langdon was truly amazing, and she never guessed his reaction.

Although she hasn't told others about these things, Bellatrix often eats melons, and she is still very familiar with the common coping methods in some situations.

With the routine development just now, Langdon actually came up with an answer that she never thought about... If he followed her words to comfort her and sympathize with her, then he would be no different from others.

...and shawls.

Although it was a surprise to go out of the ordinary way, occasionally she would hope that Langdon would follow the routine!

When the gentlemen send the ladies out, don't they always put them on by themselves?What a situation Langdon almost threw her in the face!

I didn't think of her as a girl at all—

Bellatrix finally realized a problem.

Forget it before, Langdon saw her as a problem, but Langdon's attitude seems to have changed a bit today...

So what kind of existence is she in Langdon's eyes now?

After this particular night, when Langdon woke up in the morning, he still wondered if he was dreaming.

"I actually dreamed that a big problem was solved... Is it too much pressure?"

It's not really that I can't distinguish between reality and dreams, it's just that the progress is too big, I can't believe it.

It wasn't until he went to the study room and saw that his shawl was missing that he finally had a sense of reality—the super troublesome Bellatrix who was always looking for trouble for him, did come to him last night and blew herself up, and then the whole person was shocked Much more docile.

... just don't know how long it can last.
