Regardless of whether I and Lorraine are lovers or not, I don't reject this at all.

Lorraine pondered for a while, and the picture of getting along with Xueni slowly came to mind, but he finally shook his head and didn't tell Xueni.

"You'll know when you think about it later."

Lorraine has always respected Xue Ni's ideas, so now he doesn't want to do any guiding behavior.

Whatever Xueni thinks now, let her do it according to her ideas.

"Then what if I can't remember?"

Xue Ni didn't know what the consequences would be if she couldn't remember, but the feeling of watching Lorraine go away was really uncomfortable, which was completely opposite to what it is now.

Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. This result was not what he wanted to see, but he couldn't find a way for now.

"Then don't think about it." Lorraine continued, "There will be new things for you to think about, such as today."

"Yeah." Xue Ni responded after a long time.

The current Xueni probably already knows the seriousness of what he forgot.

But Lorraine still felt that he should not let his anxiety affect her for the time being.

Even if she becomes a child, it is enough for Xueni to feel happy.

Chapter 28

trust again

Xueni kept lying on Lorraine's lap, and the comfort in her head made her want to fall asleep for a while, but she restrained her.

This also caused her to squint her eyes and be in a half-dream and half-awake state.

It wasn't until the sunset slowly tilted and finally left the courtyard that Lorraine said, "It's time to get up."

Lorraine also likes to stay like this. This kind of comfortable atmosphere can easily make people feel satisfied, but if they stay like this, it will be night.

Xueni pouted. Although she was a little reluctant, she still got up from Lorraine's body obediently.

Subconsciously, she wanted to stretch, but when she saw Lorraine here, she retracted her action.

"It's okay, you don't need to be too cautious in front of me." Lorraine said.

Xue Ni's memory at this time should be all about the etiquette of those noble ladies, and she also seemed very cautious when doing other things, for fear of making mistakes.

This is good, but Lorraine still likes Xueni's previous more natural posture.

Snowy smiled mischievously.

"Also, don't prepare these things next time."

Lorraine looked at the pastries on the table without even moving.

"You probably don't like this format very much."

Xue Ni said before that she doesn't dislike pastries and other foods, but she seldom tastes them.

What she didn't like was this tea party-like format. To use her original words, it was quite a waste of time.

There was a look of being seen through, and Xue Ni looked even more embarrassed.

This is the only way he can think of to entertain guests now, and it is also the politeness he should have, but seeing Lorraine like this, he doesn't seem to care about it at all.

"Why, I feel like you can know what I'm thinking." Xue Ni said.

After just getting along for a day, Xueni can feel that Lorraine seems to know herself very well, even better than she does now.

It's like having the power to peer into people's hearts.

"Who knows."

Lorraine spoke, but seemed to know the answer.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the somewhat messy hair on Xueni's forehead.

"It may also be because I like you." Lorraine said softly.

The surrounding light had obviously dimmed, but under Xueni's gaze, Lorraine's eyes became brighter and brighter, making her forget the warmth coming from her cheeks for a moment.

"Okay." Seeing that Xueni was in a daze, Lorraine patted her head and brought her back to her thoughts, "Today, you should rest early too, so you don't get sleepy again during the day."

"Are you leaving?" Xue Ni understood what Lorraine meant, and wanted to hold his arm, but stopped again.

"Well, that's right." Lorraine looked up, and there was only a glimmer of the sun at the end of the sky, but it would disappear soon.

"Then..." Xue Ni suddenly became nervous, and she couldn't even speak.

Lorraine saw what Xue Ni was worried about and said, "I will come over tomorrow too."

"really?"

"Well, really."

Now there should be no news from Romon for the time being, which also makes it impossible for Li Xin who wants to help him. It can be said that the process of finding a solution cannot be carried out.

Originally, Lorraine thought that if Xueni was vigilant against him, it would be enough for him to check her situation every morning and evening, but the current situation is much better than he imagined.

But living in Xueni's house in such a posture would feel very strange, so Lorraine still planned to go back to the mansion at night.

"Okay." Xue Ni nodded reassuringly.

I don't know what Xueni thinks, but for Lorraine, there really is that feeling of children agreeing to play together tomorrow, which is very subtle.

This day was not fruitless, at least Xue Ni completely let go of his vigilance.

The next day, as said, Lorraine came to Gretel's house earlier than yesterday because he didn't have to visit other people this time.

The difference is that this time Lorraine greeted him not by a maid, but by Xueni.

Seeing her more natural expression and performance than yesterday, Lorraine was also relieved a lot.

It's just that when Xue Ni took Lorraine to her room and closed the door carefully, Lorraine was very puzzled.

"What is this for?" Lorraine asked.

Xueni's series of behaviors is like she is afraid that others will know what she is going to do.

"I want to show you something!"

Xue Ni couldn't hide the joy on her face, and then leaned under the bed under Lorraine's gaze.

Lorraine hurried forward and put his palm on her head to prevent her from hitting the bottom of the bed.

Just as Lorraine expected, after a while, Xue Ni raised her head and hit her palm.

If it really hit the bottom of the bed this time, at least a small bag would have to be picked up.

"Look!" Xueni didn't notice at all. After pulling out the small box, she showed the contents to Lorraine.

"This is... a toy?" Lorraine picked up one, because it had been left for too long, and a lot of sawdust had fallen from the wooden parts.

"Correct!"

"You actually have these things."

Xueni never told himself about this, and he took care of Xueni at the time and had been to this room, but he didn't see it.

But take a look, Xue Ni is obviously a girl, but the room is too simple, not even a doll.

Lorraine felt a little strange at that time.

Xue Ni scratched her head and smiled, "Because my father won't want to see me play these things, so I can only hide."

But when Lorraine saw the book at the bottom of the box, Xueni picked it up before he could react, and then hid it behind him.

Some wondered why Xueni hid that thing, but Lorraine didn't ask further, just put down the toy in his hand.

Xue Ni seems to trust herself now.

Unlike the way adults trust each other, the way children express trust is nothing more than sharing their own collections, just like now.

Two trusts, but from the same person?

Lorraine picked up Xueni's words and said, "In the future, you don't need to hide under the bed anymore."

"Ah? Why?" Xue Ni couldn't figure it out.

"Your father won't say anything more."

Now Lorraine finally knows why Naba said that the current Xueni has a sense of distance from him.

Xue Ni's previous relationship with her family and her strong temper can be explained a little bit.

Even when playing with such care, there shouldn't be many places where Xue Ni could be recognized by others.

Yesterday, she clearly got along well with herself, but from time to time she showed the appearance of being afraid of making mistakes. This kind of behavior should also be formed when she was a child.

The less recognized by others, the more you want to prove yourself.

That's why Xue Ni at that time wanted to express herself so much, but the method might be a bit extreme.

It seems that before Xueni met her, she should have hidden many things in her heart.

Chapter 29

friend

Just when Lorraine seemed to be thinking about something, Xue Ni sneaked close to the bed and hid the few yellowed little books under her pillow.

The contents of the box are indeed intended to be shown to Lorraine, but only these picture books, if Lorraine really sees the contents inside, Xueni feels that she will be very embarrassed.

In addition to describing some things about lovers, there are also some plots that Xue Ni feels very bad even if she sees it now.

"Do you usually play here by yourself?" Lorraine watched Xueni carefully put down the pillow.

Naturally, he saw that Xue Ni was hiding something, but the things that can be put together with these toys are probably similar.

Xue Ni quickly withdrew her hand, thinking that she should not have been seen.

"Yeah." Snowy nodded. "Because my brother didn't want to take me with me when he went out, and my father didn't have much time to talk to me."

Moreover, if Naba sees these things in the box, it will be very bad.

So Xueni prefers to hide in the room by herself most of the time, so that no one knows what she is doing.

"Liraya." Lorraine whispered Xue Ni's brother's name.

After what happened last time, Liraya took the initiative to tell Naba that he would leave the capital for a while, saying that he wanted to go out and practice alone for a while.

Naba didn't agree at first, but seeing Liraya's appearance after the incident and the situation in the capital, he finally let him leave the capital.

Regarding that incident, although it has ended, it seems to have affected quite a few people. In addition to Xueni's brother, there are also Romon and Banika.

On the contrary, Liraya has been alienated from Xueni for a long time, so it is no wonder that Xueni is not too close to this elder brother.

Lorraine thought for a while, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and said, "How about we go out today?"

It's safe here, but if she stays here until Xueni recovers, it won't be the same as when she was a child.

Hearing that she was going to go out, Xue Ni's expression showed anticipation, but then she was covered up by hesitation, "Can you?"

In her impression, it seems that going out casually is not allowed.

"It's okay, I'm here."

After speaking, Lorraine took Xueni's hand and walked out of the room.

Originally Xueni wanted to say something, but seeing Lorraine's hand holding her wrist, she stopped again, letting Lorraine pull her forward.

When the two walked to the living room, Naba also happened to pass by the living room. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be going out to deal with something.

Seeing Naba, Xue Ni subconsciously stopped, like a surprised cat, standing where she was.

And Lorraine could feel from holding Xueni's wrist that her body suddenly became inexplicably stiff.

"Father." Xue Ni whispered, and hid behind Lorraine.

Kind of like a kid who does something wrong and is ready for criticism.

Seeing Xueni like this, Naba had a subtle expression on his face, as if Xueni was really standing in front of him when he was a child.
