GOR Chapter 336 Nightly Guests of A Small Shop
"Lufei, do you know? Wasting is a very bad habit. Let's eat. We need to finish all these things first. "Du Wei took a small sip of wine. The low-grade wine flowed down his esophagus like a burning flame. Despite the cold weather, it gave him a comfortable shiver.
"Look, kid. Do you know? In this damned weather, it is already so late. Not to mention, it is still a festival. Yet, the boss here is still open for business. Clearly, he is facing a great difficulty. He is struggling to stay open in hopes of earning more money. " After saying that, Du Wei smiled. "As for me, all I need to do is pull out a gold coin … a gold coin is like a blade of grass to me. However, it can make them happy. It can sweep away the worries on their faces and sweep away the tiredness of the day. Do you understand? That is the benefit of money. When you become King in the future, you need to understand this. A King who does not understand the power of money is not a good King. "
Du Wei's words were deeply engraved in Lufei's mind. Next, he saw his young master, whom he respected, perform another strange action.
Du Wei pulled out an exquisite dagger from his bosom. Then, he searched his bosom and pulled out a clean piece of wood. Next, Du Wei held the piece of wood and the edge of the dagger flashed. A moment later, two long and thin wooden sticks were cut out. Then, he ordered the messenger to clean the two wooden sticks and send them over. Du Wei weighed the sticks in his hand for a moment. He appeared satisfied and his expression became more cheerful.
Under Lufei's watchful gaze, Du Wei held the two wooden sticks in one hand and moved them up and down to pick up meat or beans. Surprisingly, he was very proficient in using them.
The habit of the people of the Roland Continent was to eat with knives and forks. When had Lufei ever seen someone use these things before? After observing for a moment, he could not help but become stunned.
"Want to try?" Du Wei smiled and handed over the chopsticks in his hand. Lufei hesitated for a moment before accepting it. However, when he tried to pick up a bean, he was unable to do so. The bean easily slipped out of the two sticks and fell to the ground.
"Ah … Master, I, I deserve to die." Lufei jumped in fright and stood up.
"It's your first time using it, so of course you won't." After saying that, Du Wei suddenly sighed faintly. "In the past, the person who taught me how to use chopsticks … Now, I don't know how the old man is doing … I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see him again."
Seeing that Du Wei was silent, Lufei didn't dare to interrupt. He could only stand aside quietly.
After a long time, Du Wei seemed to come back to his senses. He looked at the fearful youth and said, "Sit down, don't stand."
Seeing Lufei sit down again, Du Wei slowly said, "Actually, you'll be leaving me soon. At that time, you won't have to be so afraid of me. Look, Ruo Lin, Knight has been out for so long. He should be back soon. The day he returns is the day you return home. "
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Lufei's face. It was as though he had mustered up a great deal of courage. Then, he said something that even Du Wei did not expect.
"Master, I, I, can I not go back?"
“？” Du Wei looked at the youth in surprise. He did not expect the youth to say something like that.
"Why?" Du Wei suddenly sneered. "Are you afraid of me? Did you think I was trying to test you? "
"No, that's not it."
"Then what is it? Could it be that because I was kind to you today, you're no longer afraid of me? "
"No, no, no." Lufei's face immediately changed and he hastily said, "Lufei is in awe of Master. How would I dare …"
Du Wei's expression softened. "Then why don't you want to go back? You are just a servant here. You also have to be my groom. When I go out, you have to wake up early and work late. You also have to fear me. Once you leave here and go home, you will be the King, above all others. Isn't that great? "
Lufei's body trembled. Then, he bravely raised his head and said, "Master, that's what I originally thought as well. Going back to be the King was like a dream to me. It was like a beautiful dream. But later on, as the days passed, I thought about it carefully. Who is the King? Everyone has to listen to the King. But I, Lufei, what ability do I have? Why should others listen to me, fear me, and obey me? Even if I go back, I will be nothing more than … a puppet. "
Du Wei suddenly laughed. "Mm, not bad. It seems you've made some progress these days. You even know how to use the word 'puppet'."
In truth, although Du Wei had always been very strict with Lufei, he had also intentionally or unintentionally groomed him. As his groom, whenever Du Wei went out, he would bring Lufei along. As for the conversations between Du Wei and others, Lufei, as the groom, would listen in. It was as though Du Wei had done it on purpose, never hiding anything from him. For a youth to be influenced by what he saw and heard was the same as how Du Wei often taught him.
"Also … I've always been very afraid of becoming the King. I, I am a useless person. I can't even do my own thing well. How can I be a good King? Moreover, when the time comes, I don't know how many people I will have to face. You, you have taught me long ago that in this world, there are good people and bad people. I am just a child who doesn't know anything. If I become the King, who knows how many people will not be convinced and how many bad people will come to harm me … I, I really don't dare to go back. "
The fact that he stammered out these words made Du-Wei quite surprised. Although this youth was somewhat cowardly under his pressure, it seemed he still understood the truth.
"But aren't you very afraid of me? Wouldn't it be better to leave me? "
Lufei let out a long sigh. His tone became even more respectful. "This … actually, I am very respectful of you, Master. But I am afraid, and I am not afraid."
Du Wei smiled. "What do you mean?"
"Although you are very strict with me, by your side, I at least know what I should do and what I should not do. If I do something wrong, you will punish me. If I do something right, you will reward me. Although you are strict, I know very well what I should do. As long as I am careful and not make any mistakes, it will be fine. Other than that … I also have a very strange feeling. But, but I don't dare to say it. "
"Say it. Today, I will allow you to say it." Du Wei smiled faintly.
Lufei braced himself and said in a low voice. "Although I am respectful of you, Master, by your side, I feel that I only need to be afraid of you. As for others, I do not need to be afraid of you. I have this feeling. As long as I am obedient and do my best under Master, then even if it is nobles or ministers, I do not need to be afraid of them. By Master's side, others will not dare to bully me. But … if I leave you, although I will no longer need to be afraid of you … in the future, I will have to be afraid of many more people and things. In the future, who knows how many people will come to bully me. So, in the end, it is still easier to stay by your side. "
Du Wei stared blankly for a while. Finally, he could not hold it in any longer and laughed loudly.
After laughing for a while, Du Wei stopped and looked at the kid carefully. "Are these your heartfelt words?"
Lufei hurriedly lowered his head in fear.
Du Wei nodded. He was a magus. Under the cover of his powerful spiritual force, this kid's breathing rate and even heartbeat could not escape his eyes. It seemed that he was speaking the truth and not pretending.
"You are very smart." Du Wei said faintly. "If you have this thought in your heart, then from now on, you will not have to suffer much by my side."
Lufei was overjoyed. He immediately said, "Then … you agree not to send me back?"
Du Wei smiled. "I did not say that. You will definitely go back. But even if you go back, I will still be your Master. In Nanyang … no one dares to bully you. You do not need to be afraid. You just need to remember that in this world, I am the only person you need to fear. "
Just as he said this, light footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the store. The young waiter in the store immediately went up to greet the person. Soon after, a delicate figure walked in from outside the door. Her white clothes immediately added a sense of mystery to the dim store.
Du Wei raised his head and looked at the person who walked in. He could not help but be stunned.
The woman who walked in had a slender and graceful figure. She was dressed in white and faintly carried a sense of holiness. Her face was even more exquisite. She was a bright and beautiful woman. However, this woman's face was filled with loneliness and loneliness. There was even a deep fatigue in her eyes.
She had just walked in when she saw Du Wei. When their eyes met, they were both stunned. Du Wei was the first to react. He could not help but laugh.
"Your Highness, I did not expect to meet you at this time tonight in this place."
When the Saintess saw Du Wei, she was immediately filled with regret. She wanted to turn around and leave. However, when she heard Du Wei's words, she felt a little unwilling. If she turned around and left, wouldn't it mean that she was afraid of him?
When she thought of this, she could not help but look at Du Wei. She rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "Grand Duke Tulip, you are also in a good mood. The fine wine and delicacies at home are not to your liking. Yet, you came to this small store to drink alone? "
"Drinking alone is not as good as drinking together. Your Highness, please take a seat. I did not expect to meet you here. I am also surprised that a dignified member of the imperial family, the Saintess of the Shrines, would come to this small store on this New Year's night. "
Du Wei had just finished speaking when Lufei stood up. He quickly swept the chair next to him and gave up his seat.
The Saintess slowly sat down. The expression on her face had also returned to normal.
This was a strange and awkward scene. A man and a woman who could be said to be enemies were sitting together in this dark store on this special New Year's night.
Looking at the Saintess' face that could not hide the loneliness and loneliness, Du Wei did not want to think about it anymore. He suddenly sighed and said lightly, "Tonight, let's not talk about the Saintess. You and I both seem to have something on our minds. Why don't we have a drink or two? Those mundane matters, before we leave this place, let's put them aside for the time being."
The Saintess suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes lit up.
She suddenly smiled and said in a loud voice, "Boss, bring up a plate of the flatbread you made."
Then she smiled at Du Wei and said: "It seems this is your first time here. The boss here personally made the pancakes, the taste is not bad. It's best to wrap the beans here and go with the wine."
Du Wei laughed and looked at the Saintess, "It seems that you are a regular here?"
The Saintess' eyes suddenly turned cold. She took a deep breath and said, "Since my father's death, for the past two years, every Summer Day, my birthday, and New Year's Day … I would hide here and have a drink or two."
Her eyes were fixed on Du-Wei: "Speaking of which, I don't have anyone close to me anymore … … Duke Tulip, all of this can be said to be thanks to you."
Du-Wei was startled, then sighed: "We agreed not to talk about this. If you say it like this, won't you ruin the atmosphere? Sigh … I am also alone, so I came here on this night. Speaking of which, my mood is similar to yours. "
The indifference in the Saintess' eyes faded and she finally nodded, "Yes, you are right. I will not talk about this anymore. "
She suddenly reached out and took Du Wei's wine cup. Du Wei was surprised and smiled, "Ah, I originally thought that clergy were forbidden from drinking …"
Before he could finish, the Saintess had already raised her head and finished drinking.
Bang!
The cup was heavily placed on the table and the Saintess let out a long breath, "I originally thought that a grand duke like you, a man of the hour, would not be lonely."
