Chapter 46 Warmth.
"Who said that?" This was the first time Duke Bolan heard such an excuse.
Yu Zhizhi said seriously: "My mother told me."
When she was young, she would crawl into her mother's arms in fear when she had nightmares. Every time, her mother would gently comfort her.
She would tell her mother about her nightmares, and it seemed that she felt less scared after she told them.
Yu Zhizhi also sat up, clutching the quilt against her chest with both hands.
"If you want to talk, you can tell me. I'm willing to listen to your nightmares."
The Duke's body stiffened slightly.
He never thought that the little pet would say such a thing...
Warm words.
Unlike those unintelligent pets that cannot speak human language, only she would say such words.
She was the only one who would ignore his status as a duke.
Dare to speak your mind.
He did not wear the uniform for going to the palace today, but changed into a luxurious dark purple robe. Walking barefoot on the mahogany floor, he walked to the chopping board, sat down, and picked up the slender pipe from the shelf.
Across the screen.
Some words...
It might be easier to say it out loud.
"When I was a kid, if I made a mistake, I would be locked in an airtight box and sunk into the water. Deep in the middle of the lake, I couldn't hear a thing. It was a small, claustrophobic space, and I was the only one there. No matter if I spoke or admitted my mistakes, no one would pay attention to me."
Yu Zhizhi listened quietly.
What a small box.
It was so dark, and it was sunk to the bottom of the lake, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
The smoke gradually rose.
Bolan leaned against the soft chair, holding a slender silver pipe in her right hand. The tobacco was burning quietly in the lotus carved on the top.
When he talked about the past, there was no significant fluctuation in his golden vertical pupils.
To him, those things seemed like things from a previous life.
As the only son of the old duke, he could not have any injuries on his body, and the punishment he received was confinement in deep water day after day.
He curled up in a small, cramped box, holding tightly in his arms the gift his mother had given him when he was born.
A white stuffed teddy bear.
Platinum craves all touches.
I always want to hug something furry.
To this end, he has kept many pets.
It seemed that he could only feel a moment of peace when he was holding his pet.
But those pets did not please him.
They are livestock after all.
Not understanding human nature.
Until, this female rabbit was abducted back—
Bolan took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the screen. Behind him was the little female sitting on the bed, listening attentively to his nightmare.
His most satisfying pet to date.
Although its spiritual power has not yet awakened and it cannot transform into an animal, it is more suitable to be held in his arms than any furry creature he has raised before.
Just, I cry a little.
The estrus period is also a bit troublesome.
These were minor problems compared to the pleasure she could bring herself.
"Someone come here." he called.
The door of the study opened and several maids walked in.
"Help Miss Zhizhi wash and eat."
"Yes, Master Bolan."
The Duke put his pipe down.
He got up.
He picked up his robe, put it on, and walked away.
During the few days that Yu Zhizhi lived in the Duke's Mansion, she gradually got used to the rhythm of the place. Unlike the K family, the secluded courtyard where she lived was rarely disturbed by anyone.
The entire mansion is as lazy as its owner. The bamboo shadows in the backyard are dim, and even the sunlight can hardly come in.
After breakfast, Yu Zhizhi came to the desk and looked at the scroll spread out on it, with the calligraphy in neat and sloppy handwriting. Next to it was the slender pipe he often used.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but touch it. It had a smooth, cool silver long stem, and a lotus-shaped pipe on top. There was still a little ash in it. The mouthpiece was golden, as if it was made of gold.
The Duke often smoked a cigarette while reviewing documents in his study.
It has his scent on it.
Yu Zhizhi thought about the "nightmares" he had mentioned before, all of which were things he had experienced personally when he was very young.
The Duke always had an unfathomable smile on his face.
Even today, I couldn't hear the emotion in his words.
Thinking of the strategy mission...
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears drooped down, and she suddenly became weak.
Every time I tried to capture Duke Platinum, not only did I fail, but he would also tease me in various ways...
[How long will it take?]
She couldn't help but ask in her heart.
[System: There are nineteen days left until the mission is completed.]
Yu Zhizhi was like a deflated ball: "If I had known that pheromones were useless to him, I would have saved them for other snakes."
[System: Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and are relatively slow to sense the pheromones of other species during their estrus period. However, it is sufficient in most cases.]
"Then why is Duke Platinum not affected?" Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
He was perfectly rational yesterday.
The golden vertical pupils were as clear as usual.
He was sober and calm, unilaterally...
Play with yourself.
Well!
Yu Zhizhi pressed her forehead against the chopping board and refused to lift it up.
[System: The host is asked to explore on his own. 】
There are many things that the system will not reveal, even if you ask, it will not tell you. Most of the things that can be told are related to the task.
Yu Zhizhi suddenly remembered something: "So, what about favorability? How much does Duke Bolan like me now?"
Simple and crude pheromones are useless, but there's always a chance to get pregnant with a snake baby by increasing favorability, right?
[System: Name: Bolan, Race: Snake (Adult), Favorability: 12, Note: "I feel a fondness for my pet." Please keep up the good work, host.]
Yu Zhizhi: “…”
Only nineteen days left.
But the favorability is only this little bit.
Then we have to change the snake.
Previously, the guard captain of Geo, whom she had "taken a fancy to", had been avoiding her for the past two days. In short, she had not met him since the last incident.
The Duke of Platinum also said that he could be friends with him.
There was not even a shadow of a snake, and there was no chance of any close contact.
"guest!"
Yu Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Aren't we going to entertain guests? There will definitely be other male snakes visiting that day, right?"
In addition to the K family, there should be other families.
It seems that she needs to find Teacher Dai Li to find out what happened on the day of the dinner.
Teacher Dai Li, who was watering the flowers, adjusted her glasses when she heard the female rabbit's question.
"Miss Zhizhi, there are many distinguished guests coming to the dinner, including our snake tribe. Do you know Earl Grey? Last time, he came to visit the mansion and met you at the door of the study."
“Hmm…” Yu Zhizhi thought about it and nodded: “Now I remember, I did meet a young man in a white uniform that day.”
"He is Lord Grey."
When Teacher Dai Li mentioned this, her face was filled with pride.
"To be honest, he is a talented person of our White Snake Clan and is highly appreciated by His Excellency the Duke and His Majesty the King."
"He is gentle, modest, and extremely talented—"
"I traveled around the mountains and rivers two years ago and published a book on geography and customs, "Between Mountains, Waters and Fog," which became a bestseller in the Valoran Empire."
"Earl Grey is a best-selling author who is loved and admired by many orcs."
It feels good!
Yu Zhizhi asked softly, "When will he come to the Duke's Mansion?"
Teacher Dai Li: "For the marriage, he has already arrived and is living in the villa."
Seeing Yu Zhizhi was a little confused, Dai Li smiled and said, "Miss Zhizhi, you may not know yet, but the one who is going to marry Lord Noel of the Rabbit Clan is the lady of the White Snake Clan, and also the younger sister of Earl Grey - Nicole."
"...I want to meet them."
"Please come with me."
