Chapter 532 Mary’s Thoughts
Going to Antarctica is not a simple matter. It takes time to mobilize resources and find people, but Duanmuhuai is not in a hurry. It is not something that can be done in a day or two anyway.
On the contrary, he is very anxious now...
"Why should I come to see this thing..."
Sitting on a chair in the VIP room of Lanxin Theater, watching the performance on the stage below in boredom, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but want to yawn.
Opera, drama, Peking Opera, these are all things that Duanmu Huai cannot appreciate. Listening to the actors' accents on the stage, he felt like he had a headache.
But fortunately, the play has come to an end at this moment. Finally, the curtain slowly fell, and the theater also burst into cheerful applause.
Including Lorena and Mary beside him, they were all applauding hard at this moment.
"Phew...it's finally over."
Duanmu Huai yawned, then sat up and clapped his hands boredly.
"Mr. Duanmu, don't you like this drama?"
Seeing Duanmuhuai's expression, Mary also asked curiously.
"This is a masterpiece adapted by writer Bram Stoker and performed by Henry Irving!"
"A layman like me cannot appreciate this thing."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand helplessly, and sighed secretly when he saw Mary's eyes shining. It seemed that Mary was just an ordinary star-chasing girl... There was nothing wrong with her.
"If he comes to Duan San Tang to interrogate Galileo, I might be able to see it. No matter how much Romeo and Juliet change, they will still be like that? There is a similar story in my hometown. It is more romantic than this. After death, they both turned into butterflies. ”
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stood up.
"Okay, let's go. The show is over and it's time for us to go home."
Duanmu Huai originally didn't want to come to this opera, but Lorena was lucky enough to win the VIP seats, and there were three more. Adhering to the spirit of not wasting, Duanmu Huai also called Mary. Unexpectedly, when the eldest lady heard that she was going to the Lyceum Theater to watch an opera performed by that pretty boy named Henry, she would be as excited as if she had met a groupie of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Originally, Duanmuhuai thought that he would take the opportunity to be educated and have a taste for elegant art, but in the end...
Forget it, Mikami-sensei is more in line with my taste. Sure enough, the paper man is still prettier than the Mona Lisa, and that will be the case in this life.
So Duanmu Huai spent an hour or two half asleep in the theater, which was almost the most painful memory in his life.
Duanmu Huai also secretly swore that he would kill himself never to appreciate these things again. They were no different from Peking Opera or something like that. They were babbling, babbling, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch… The content of...
It's not my fault that I can't stand "A Dream of Red Mansions" and can only watch "The West Chamber".
So Duanmu Huai was bored and looked exhausted, while Lorena and Mary were happily talking about the opera in front. It seems that there are similar performances in the Holy City, so Lorena is much more receptive to this than Duanmu Huai. Although she doesn't know the lead actor and doesn't have any star aura, she is still very enthusiastic about just discussing the plot.
How can I put it, girls really like these romantic things.
Looking at the two girls who were having a heated discussion in front of them, Duanmu Huai also sighed silently. Only in this aspect, he couldn't get along with other people at all. Whether it was Ann and Gu Leiya, or Lorena and Mary, he really couldn't understand the sensibility of women's love.
Arriving at the station, Lorena went to buy a ticket for Mary, while Duanmuhuai and Mary stood aside waiting. At this time, Mary seemed to have recovered from the excitement of seeing the big star perform before, and looked at Duanmuhuai curiously.
"Mr. Duanmu, don't you like this kind of drama very much?"
"Strictly speaking? Yes."
"Hey? Why?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary couldn't help but be startled, and Duanmuhuai glanced at her.
"For you girls, this kind of love with only each other in your eyes must be very romantic. You can risk everything for each other. You don't care about death or destruction. You just want to be with each other wholeheartedly. Isn't that true?" br>
"Indeed...isn't it possible?"
"It doesn't matter if you just think about it, but for the judge, this kind of deep love will only bring trouble and trouble."
Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.
"Think about it, Mary, Romeo is sad for Juliet's death, and is even willing to take poison to commit suicide for her, right? Then, if a devil appears in front of desperate Romeo, saying that as long as Romeo is willing to make a contract with it, destroy this world, then it will resurrect Juliet, so what will Romeo choose?"
"This..."
After hearing this, Mary finally realized that for Duanmu Huai, this was more than just a story.
So, as Duanmuhuai said, how will Romeo choose?
This world prevents his love with Juliet, so if there is really a devil who makes a deal with him, will Romeo choose to make a deal?
Use this world as a bargaining chip to resurrect your lover?
"The evils of obsession are all led by infatuation. The end of infatuation is to be used by others and finally become a chess piece."
Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.
"So, don't be too desperate in everything, take a step back. If Romeo didn't love Juliet so deeply, then he wouldn't have been so eager to take poison and commit suicide when he saw Juliet fake her death, and it wouldn't have ended up being a tragedy. ”
Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai also looked at Mary.
"You must also remember that not everything in the name of love can be forgiven. Even Romeo and Juliet, if they dare to destroy the world for their own selfishness, I will never show mercy to them. .”
"Haah..." After hearing Duanmuhuai's speech, Mary nodded blankly. She always felt that Duanmuhuai meant what he said to her, but...does this have anything to do with her? ?
It's just a drama......
"Ah, it's Mary!"
At this time, suddenly, two energetic voices came from not far away. Mary turned her head and saw two children running towards her from the other side of the street curiously.
"Long time no see, Mary——!"
While talking, the two children stretched out their hands, as if they wanted Mary to hug them, and Mary subconsciously bent down, and then...she turned around quickly and avoided the two of them. The two children who were avoided by Mary were not depressed, but showed a naughty smile.
"It's obviously Mary, but I didn't expect to be so agile. Are you really the slow Mary?"
"Hmph, I'm not the same person I used to be."
Looking at the two children, Mary also showed a proud smile. After all, she also had the confidence to be proud. After being given Spartan training by Lorena, Mary's speed and reaction were much stronger than before. Therefore, she no longer paid attention to the pranks of the two little devils.
"You two are still the same as before. How are you doing recently?"
"Very good."
Hearing Mary's question, the boy among them nodded.
"The business is pretty good, and I'm working under a very powerful master. It's very profitable."
"It seems that you are still as capable as ever, so I can rest assured, Kainz, Ellie."
Looking at the boy and girl in front of her, Mary also smiled slightly. These two children were not her younger brothers and sisters, but children wandering on the street. Mary met them because of some things in the past, and later became good friends.
At this moment, the two children also saw Duanmuhuai standing not far away, looking over here, and they immediately hid behind Mary in fear.
"Wow, Mary, who is he?"
"Ah, he is... Mr. Duanmu. Although he looks fierce, he is actually a good man."
At this moment, Mary also hurriedly introduced the two parties.
"Mr. Duanmuhuai, these two children are Kainz and Aili, they are my friends..."
"That's it."
Duanmuhuai nodded, then he knelt down and looked at the two children.
"Hello, um..."
Halfway through his words, Duanmu Huai paused, then reached into his arms and took out a few banknotes.
"When we first meet, I don't have much to give you as a gift. Just use these to buy something you like, as a thank you for taking care of Mary."
"Ugh."
After taking the banknotes in Duanmuhuai's hand, the two wanderers' eyes widened in surprise, but soon they took the money and carefully put it in their arms. Then the boy in charge patted his chest with a smile.
"Don't worry, leave it to us, sir, we will never let Mary suffer."
As he spoke, he looked at Mary.
"It's true, Sister Mary, you have become a rich man's lover. In that case, you should have said it earlier."
"Yes, yes, Mary is really outgoing. If you had said it earlier, we would have prepared some gifts."
"Huh?"
After hearing what the two little devils said, Mary's face suddenly turned red.
"It's not————!"
However, before she could finish speaking, the two little devils turned around and ran away.
"Woo......"
Seeing the two imps disappearing into the alley, Mary was speechless for a while. However... Kainz's words gave her a wake-up call.
Does Mr. Duanmu and I have this kind of relationship in the eyes of outsiders?
Thinking of this, Mary glanced at Duanmu Huai quietly. Although she often went out with Duanmu Huai, most people couldn't see him because the latter used that strange ability. So Mary didn't think much about it, but now that she thought about it, a young female student was on the street late at night with a tall man wearing luxurious clothes... It didn't seem like an ordinary relationship that could be explained.
If Ashelica saw it, she would definitely think that Mr. Duanmu was some kind of bad guy.
Thinking of Asherika, Mary also had a headache. During this period, because she often went to see Duanmu Huai, Asher asked her who she was meeting, what kind of person she was, etc. Although she Every time, we got interrupted and confused, but... well, we probably won't meet each other.
Thinking of this, Mary withdrew her thoughts and looked forward again.
But this time, she felt that her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster.
Maybe he was scared just like before.
