Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

"Sleepyhead, here I come again. Get up and welcome the beautiful princess. I'll bring spring!""Good morning, Miss Dana. Don't you have to go to church today?" Kang Rui took the coat and welcomed her with a smile.The changes in the past one or two months were great because of her forced intervention.Whenever she had no classes or holidays, the quiet inner door of the castle would be maliciously abused, with a deafening call for someone's arrival, followed by shouting with cheerful laughter, until everyone was woken up.The work in the kitchen became heavier, and correspondingly, the salary doubled, because she had to be on call 24 hours a day to cope with the different meal times of the host and Miss Dana.And she had no sense of being a guest at all. If she wanted to drink coffee, she couldn't make a pot of tea. If she didn't have snacks, she would ring the bell. She got along with the four or five chefs and the second chef in the kitchen like a family, and everyone was happy to serve her.She even knew several big boys who were naval officers in the security team.From time to time, she would press the monitor and touch the sophisticated equipment. They treated her as kindly as their own sister. When they returned to work after vacation, they would bring her some homemade cookies and local specialties to taste and pamper her a little.Because she was very greedy.Among them, the owner of Dinsmore Castle pampered her the most. He almost agreed to her every request and indulged her in all her misdeeds.Indeed, few people could refuse her requests. Her big black and white eyes looked at people innocently, and her tone was so innocent that people smiled knowingly. Even if they knew she was doing bad things, they couldn't harden their hearts and say "no". Instead, they took the initiative to ask her if it was enough and what she needed.Angel's appearance, devil's soul, this is the voice of everyone in the castle, but they are willing to dance with the devil.There is no way, she is so cute that people want to hold her in their hands and take care of her, a flawless porcelain doll."Good morning, bad uncle, I have a headache and a high fever today, so I can't say Amen to Jesus." She was not a devout Christian, and she usually just pretended to please the nun.Kang Rui smiled knowingly and handed her a cup of hot tea. "That's a good excuse. Have you been to the doctor?""I'll wait for you to bring me the medical records." He was very good at this kind of small matter, and it was easy to get a doctor's certificate."You're using me again, don't you feel uneasy, Miss Dana?" This is the third time. The last time was for tooth treatment, and the time before that was for nail inflammation."I'm giving you the opportunity to do good things, to help the lonely and helpless wanderers in a foreign land." Fan Dan looked at him with watery eyes, and he surrendered immediately.Little bandit. "Remember to inform me before you go back. I will do my best to follow Miss Dana's instructions.""I knew I could trust you. Please write a copy of this report for me. Is your typewriter still usable?" She was the kindest and couldn't bear to see him bored."This is..." Kang Rui frowned, and all he saw was a stack of blank paper."Comment on British history and English literature. You know I'm Taiwanese, how can I be so good at British history? Please." She raised her hand and put the empty cup of tea on the flat column beside the stairs."Are you kidding me? I'm a housekeeper! You think I'm an erudite educator..." He muttered with a wry smile as he looked at the stairs where no one was.There should be a similar notebook in the master's study. It would be easier to copy it. He complained in his mouth, wondering if his hands could still use the typewriter. They were already rusty.While he was doubting, Fandana had already jumped to open the Duke's room. She tiptoed to scare him, and suddenly stepped on a crumpled paper.Curiosity made her pick it up and take a look. Her expression became very strange. She wanted to smother the man who was sleeping on the bed with a pillow."All men are lustful pigs." She cursed in a low voice. It was still freezing cold in the UK in mid-February, with the temperature as low as -2.7 degrees Celsius, but the sun was very warm, and it hadn't snowed for several days, and the rain had stopped.The evil-minded Fandana knew that he couldn't stand the sun like a vampire, so she moved a cushion quietly, climbed up the low cabinet and fumbled for the thin rope, and pulled it hard--The dazzling sunlight shone directly on the bed, and Lanny's face was hot. He turned to the side of the bed and fell on the carpet. He opened the bedside table, took out a pair of sunglasses, put them on, blocked the sunlight with the bed sheet, and glanced at the fairy in the center of the light.No need to guess, it must be her. She was the only one who dared to do evil and cause trouble for him."Xiao Na'er, put the curtains back." When did he offend her?Fandana, who was sitting on the low cabinet and kicking her feet, stretched her hand towards the sun, as if the light was radiating from her palm. "Let's photosynthesize!""What did I do to make you angry? Let's put down the curtain and have a good talk." He was afraid of light."Look, there are sparrows outside! A male and a group of females. Do you think they are going to mate?" She hated sparrows.Lenny squinted and saw that she was holding a familiar piece of paper in her hand. "You don't think that I still have the energy to deal with other women after having you?""Dear Mr. Yas, this club has selected ten beauties for you. I hope you will be satisfied this time and will not return them. Linaliya will continue to serve you.""Damn it." He should have burned the paper instead of just crumpling it and throwing it away."What a good appetite! Ten at a time, you are not afraid of bloating, where do you have time to "relax"? "Men's bad habits are similar.Can't she meet a man who is chaste? Everyone thinks with his lower body."You misunderstood, Xiaonaer, I really didn't touch other women." He abstained from sex for three months. "Yes! Which blood-sucking club sent you a bill even though you didn't spend any money, and also sent you a thoughtful note reminding you not to forget to go see the beauties?" She said sourly.Lenny sighed and explained: "You see the consumption date on it is three months ago.""You mean I only intercepted one bill, and you received the other three properly?" Her detective skills need to be improved."There are no other three. The one in your hand is the last one. The club's payment method is to settle every six months. It should have been settled last month...""You spend money to hire prostitutes and buy women, and you still have something to say. The six-month period has not yet arrived, right? You think I will be here to receive another bill from you in July." She was very angry.Fandana pulled open the curtain of another window, and the whole room was suddenly covered with the baptism of sunlight. It was so bright that Lenny exclaimed softly, and his shoulders and back without a shirt were all burned red. He had the habit of sleeping naked. Since the day she declared her love for him, she disturbed his sleep almost every day, forcing him to wear long cotton pants just in case and avoid embarrassment.But she was not very happy that he changed his sleeping habits. She complained many times that he wore too much, which prevented her from seeing the real "good stuff"."Have I ever lied to you?" He couldn't prove it, because she couldn't get out of the dead end."He also said that to me, but he still hurt my heart." The figures of the two seemed to overlap.Equally rich in cultivation, equal in outstanding appearance that attracted the attention of women, equal in huge wealth left by ancestors, and equal in... pampering her."I am not him, you see clearly." Lenny stood up with a roar, and the scorching sun forced him back to a darker corner.At this moment, he hated the title of "Ghost Duke" and blamed himself for his photophobia and couldn't get close to the person he loved.He wanted her to be happy, not to live in sad memories. The hateful thing was that he could do nothing but be trapped in a dark prison like a nocturnal beast.He wanted to hug her.Fandana's malicious revenge made him feel much better. "Forget it, you are a man.""What do you mean?" Her indifference made him unhappy."Forgive you! There are so many good men in the world anyway..." She will always meet the right person."Don't take back your love." He was afraid, her flat tone seemed to give up on him.God knows how much he loves her. She has penetrated into his bones and cannot be removed. He can't afford the risk of losing her. She is his life, the only little sun in his soul.Although he didn't get enough sleep, he still didn't dare to sleep and wait for her. He put his work aside and just looked forward to her appearance.The silver bell-like laughter was the food of his soul. With her company, his life was much more fulfilling. He couldn't imagine how he would survive the hard years without her.It would be so cold without her. "You...you yelled at me." He was the one who did something wrong. Didn't she want to love him? Why did he mean to her?"If you are unhappy, kick me or scold me to vent your anger. Don't take back your love." Lenny said humbly.She suddenly felt sad, as if she had hurt him willfully. "I didn't say I don't love you!""Do you think I betrayed you?" He wanted to get her full trust, otherwise the same thing would happen again.Her sense of security was not balanced. She was afraid of being hurt, so she hurt others first. She was actually still a little girl who needed to be cared for.She and him were similar in some ways. Both of their parents died early, but he had no one to rely on and could only rely on himself. Therefore, he understood the necessity of loneliness and accepted it in the shortest time.Xiao Naer's approach was just the opposite. She had her grandfather and "him" to love her. Even if her sisters of the same generation had many complaints about her, they could do whatever they wanted with the help of two backers. Anyway, someone would clean up the mess for her.To be frank, she was afraid of being abandoned, like her parents didn't want her. The hidden insecurity was suppressed in her heart. She had to control everything so that nothing would happen, so that she wouldn't feel lonely.In other words, she didn't trust anyone, didn't believe that people would never change. She was waiting for an excuse to change herself first.No matter how beautiful the oath was, it would disappear with death. She was too fragile to face the possibility of such a thing happening."Lanni, I forgive you. Don't mention the past anymore." She twisted the curtain cloth with an embarrassed expression."Tell me, do you think I slept with other women behind your back?" He insisted on forcing her to make a promise."You know whether I did or not, why ask me." He was so annoyed. Why did he have to argue with her?"Believe me, little Na'er." He summoned her true devotion with his affectionate blue eyes.She blinked and said a little angrily: "I only believe that there is no secret under the sun. If you want me to trust you, just come to me."The sun was not strong near noon, and the climate was mild and not hot, but for Lenny, who had a special physique, every ray of light was like a fire, burning his skin fiercely.However, love makes people stupid.He threw away the light-shielding sheets without hesitation, took off the sunglasses on his nose, endured the pain of waves of light, walked towards the sun, towards her, and gently stretched out his hands to hug her."Are you willing to put aside your knot and believe me?""Lenny..." With tears in her eyes, Fandana was moved in her heart, and his chest warmed her."I am not him, and I will never be him. I only want the snow elf I love." He loves her more than life."Promise me, don't hurt me, I am more fragile than Dana doll." She hugged his waist and cried softly.Dana doll is like a porcelain, she doesn't like this nickname.

He lowered his head and sucked the pearl-like tears. "I will wrap you in my arms layer by layer with my love, and I will take you with me even if I die."

"Lanni, I love you." She didn't want to be the one who stayed behind, he really understood her."I love you too, baby." He finally caught his snow elf.The four lips touched, the affection was like cotton, and suddenly-"It's so hot, your face, your hands..." Fandana decisively lowered the curtains, and big tears kept falling.Oh my God, what stupid thing did she do to be so cruel to him, knowing that his skin was sensitive to light, and forcing him to hurt his body to swear, how could he indulge her to hurt him so much.The white hands and face were red, like boiled shrimps with hot steam, it must be very painful, he deliberately wanted her to be sad, and bet her trust with his life.She believed that he did not deceive her, his body and mind belonged to her, and he never betrayed her.But her heart would hurt! Because of her willfulness and pride, she used love as a weapon to test his sincerity.She was stupid, and he was even more stupid. Why did he play with fire with her?"Don't cry, you know I can't bear to see you cry." Lenny comforted her instead."Does it hurt? I'll sniff." Her childish behavior made him grin."It doesn't hurt, it's just a little sunburned." He was stubborn and didn't say the severity."Really?" She stroked his hot face with doubt in her eyes, and it was clear that the surface of the skin had been injured."Don't I know my own body? Look, you cry like a little cat." He pinched her red nose teasingly."Where's the ointment?" She turned her hand over, she would not let him bluff at will."Huh?!" He looked confused, and it was obvious that he hadn't used the ointment for the burn for a long time.It was all her fault. Fandana ran into the bathroom with self-blame and got a wet towel. "Can you please not spoil me too much?""It's hard." He lowered his body to accept her rare tender caress.It's not easy for him not to spoil her, unless all the blood in his body freezes into ice and his heart can no longer beat.Seeing her smile, his heart will also be filled with smiles. He wanted to dig a hole in the ground to bury all her sadness and dissatisfaction, and enjoy endless happiness and laughter alone.Among her many requests, this is the only thing he can't accept. He wants to spoil her into a unique and super rogue little witch, because she is the cutest like this."Hmph! If one day you are killed by me, don't blame me, it's all your fault." She complained slightly."Xiao Na'er, are you shy?" He pulled her to the bed and smiled at her bright red face."Don't be smart, I just let the heat from your body make my cheeks red." She stroked his chest hair infatuatedly.It wasn't very dense, but it was extremely sexy, making her eager to move.Lenny took the towel from her hand and kissed her fingers one by one. "Stop plucking my hair, it's all yours.""Why don't you make love with me?" She wanted it so badly, but he refused to cooperate.One day, she would really get angry and force herself on him."Your little head is always thinking about messy things. If I love you, I have to think about you. You need time to grow up." He wanted her, but his reason wouldn't allow it."Don't you want it?" She looked at his slightly bulging lower body."Yes." She could never imagine how much he wanted her."The list is still there, why don't you call a prostitute?" She was referring to the photos of beautiful women faxed from the club."Fandana." He called her by her full name, indicating that he was annoyed that she made him angry.She shrugged playfully. "I'm just curious! You're a big customer of the club.""You..." He sighed and played with her long hair. "I'll only say this once, and don't ask questions later.""It's a secret!"Lenny tapped her on the forehead. "I haven't been out for 20 years, and I found a reputable club based on the needs of men..."He explained that the helpless reality forced him to buy a channel for venting with money, because he was a member who signed a long-term contract, so no matter whether he wanted women or not, the club would still send him photos once a month, which was a business method.Since he hadn't called the club's women for three months, the person in charge was worried that someone would steal his business, so he attached a note to stabilize the customer base."You alone are enough for me, how dare I be so bold as to get involved with wild flowers and idle grass, I'd be surprised if you didn't castrate me..." He spoke more and more quietly.Really, I was so angry just now, and now I heard that she fell asleep, I really admire her.The quilt was pulled to cover the two of them, and the sleep-deprived Lenny looked at Fandana's sweet and cute sleeping face, and couldn't help feeling tired. He closed his eyes and fell asleep."What, that old, sick, hunchbacked ogre is your boyfriend?"Winnie's high-pitched voice sounded by the small pond behind the library, scaring the birds perched on the tree, and they flew away with a flap of their wings.The branches of early spring are full of green, and light buds emerge in the remaining snow. The frozen pond is slowly melting, and a small duckweed has floated on the water. The breath of spring is very strong.It's not that she deliberately wants to hide her smooth relationship, but no one asks her and she is too lazy to spread it everywhere. She is already popular in Santa Maria, and there is no need for another rumor to be exaggerated.Lenny was afraid that she would have to go to class all day today, so in order to save money, she just ate a piece of bread, so he asked Kang Rui to bring her a hot Chinese bento, so her "affair" broke out.At least that's what the new gossip station spreads, she is kept by a married man."Danna, I know Chinese people are always conservative. Don't follow him just because you lost your virginity to him. There are many good boys waiting for you out there." They are indirect murderers."Xizi, if you don't want the Ghost Duke to hunt you down, introduce me to a few more boys." Does she look like someone who accepts her fate?She shuddered and held a heat pack in her hand. "You're not that important! There are busty girls prettier than you on the street.""Do you think my breasts are too small?" Fan Danno threatened with his chest puffed out, as if he was going to kill someone to silence him."At least they're not as turbulent as Winnie's!" I'm so envious, thirty-sixE!"That's right, the hard work of carrying two coconuts deserves respect." If she wanted it, she would be exhausted to death first.Just shocked by the sudden news, Winnie glanced at the two "jealous" women with a bad temper. She still couldn't believe that Dana doll would be favored by the rumored ghost duke.With a small stature, big eyes, a talkative mouth, and a strange head, how could she capture the heart of a reclusive man? It was puzzling.In terms of beauty! She is just ordinary, and in terms of temperament... Alas! Only they know how rough she is, and her quiet performance is just acting, in order to win a scholarship.Who was deceived? Her or him?"Dana, are you sure he is the ghost duke himself?" It's not true if no one has seen it."Lanni Yas Kai is his full name. You can check the royal family information. At least the pound in Leia's hand confirms the handwriting. "Laiya was almost mad. She took out five thousand pounds unwillingly and repeatedly claimed that the handwriting was forged, but Dann took it to an expert for identification, and it was confirmed that the handwriting was indeed from the Duke.Besides, she had a lot of people witnessing her coming out of Dinsmore Castle. It would be difficult for Laiya to deny the debt, so she had to take out the money obediently with a hateful look.Suzuki Yuko protested indignantly: "Tsk, why did you give her the banknotes? The market price outside is 10,000 pounds!""Who knew that the ghost duke's reputation was so loud? I regret it too!" The loss outweighs the gain, and the profit is half."Go and get it back! Let's add 2 and 1 to make it 50. I'll go online to hype the price and see if it can go higher." Money! It flew away in plain sight."Will Laiya give it? She can't even hate me. "And she is not so shameless, she wants back the bones she gave away."That's right, she said that Santa Maria can only have her, take care of yourself." It was simply a tribute.There can't be two campus beauties in one school, especially with the arrogant aristocratic mentality of Laya, how can she allow commoners to ride on her head and embarrass her everywhere? It's a blessing to be able to graduate.Don't touch the thorns! Once you touch them, you will be scarred and bloody."Hey! Are you a little short-sighted and short-sighted, focusing on small money and forgetting big fish?" There is no place for tuition for next semester!"That's right! The Ghost Duke seems to be very rich, ranking in the top ten in wealth." Suzuki Yuko's eyes showed the symbol of money.Winnie raised her eyebrows and smiled cunningly. "I'm short of money recently. Can I ask him to adjust the position?""Ha! Good luck to yourself. People who betray their friends are better off starving to death on the street. "Money is the worst thing to avoid when it comes to relationships.""How dare you say something so heartless? If it weren't for Yuko and I mobilizing the crowd, how could we have saved you from the perverted duke?" Vinila wiped her tearless eyes with the corner of her clothes."Defamation is a crime. When I become a royal barrister, I will lock you up until you get lice." She said jokingly."Good friends should not hide anything. How does he look?" It was too far away to see the man hiding behind the window.Fandana only said to her, "Handsome.""Huh?" That's it? "Compared to Dane and Stevenson?" They are considered outstanding nobles."Go and help him carry his shoes!" The charm of a mature man is as different from that of a dandy boy as the sky and the earth."Wow! I really want to go and see... Oh! Laya is here. "Suzuki Yuko, who worships her idol, suddenly laughed mischievously in a weak voice."You're here to cause trouble again." Winnie muttered with her head down, ignoring everything.The beautiful Gao Yao, who was surrounded by people, walked forward with a confident step. Her arrogant gaze was unbearable, as if she was a noble princess, and everyone should kneel down to show respect.Laya's eyes were full of disdain. A stunted little oriental girl was worthy of being friends with the Duke, and her dignity was insulted with a banknote."How are you, Dana doll?" In front of others, Laya raised a friendly and sarcastic expression and asked.Fandana smiled innocently and blinked her charming eyes. "Senior sister, are you going to return my banknotes?""Do you think I would be interested in a pound? "To prove her point, she regretted it after throwing it away.How many people came to ask for that banknote, she really shouldn't be easily angered, she wanted to wait until the price was higher before selling it, but now... her hatred for her deepened."Be careful, it will be worthless if it gets wet and the handwriting on it is dissolved." Suzuki Yuko and Winnie rushed to take it.Two idiots, who is short-sighted and quick to profit? They didn't even think about whose man the Ghost Duke is. They could ask for any autographs. "Senior, do you have something to ask me?""You will have a seat at the Spring Dance, remember to bring your partner." She showed off her wealth and handed her the gold-plated invitation."Can I ask Dane or Stevenson to attend the banquet?" She deliberately pretended to be innocent and provocative.Laya's face changed and she shouted, "No.""That's terrible! I don't know anyone else. "She frowned with annoyance."I heard you've been doing well recently, why don't you ask your sponsor to come over." Laya hinted at her ugly behavior with a contemptuous tone.News spread like wildfire."No, he's my adulterer, so it's not good to expose him." She's not inferior to anyone in the art of speaking."You..." Laya was stunned by surprise. She dared to say such a filthy crime in a church school.Fandana looked at her with her eyes suddenly bright. "Otherwise I'll take the Ghost Duke to see the world."A few gasps made Laya embarrassed, and she turned around and glared at the people behind her."You don't deserve it.""Senior sister, do you want to wait and see? I bet -... one hundred pounds." The greedy Suzuki Yuko betrayed her friend again."I'm poor, fifty pounds is enough." Winnie raised her right hand in favor of the proposal. She would definitely participate in the money-making activities."You... are too mean. "Fandana glared at the two of them with gritted teeth. She was just saying it for fun, how could she expose him to a group of hungry female wolves."Okay, I'll raise the stakes to 10,000 pounds. As long as the ghost duke really shows up, the money will be yours." Laya, who didn't believe it at all, boasted.10,000 pounds! Suzuki Yuko and Winnie looked at Fandana with flattering faces."Dana doll, you won't let us down."Oh my God! She made friends with bandits by mistake. Who will save her from these two greedy evil women?God, Allah or Sakyamuni?
