MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 28 I love you

Delphinium choked on Russell's whispered confession without warning.

She didn't expect that Russell would remain calm and calm as usual... as if explaining the truth, he would say "I love you" casually on this occasion.

In the "suicide note" sent to her by Russell before, there were only words like "I like you".

And later, when the two of them kissed for the first time, Russell only expressed his love in a very euphemistic way-chanting the old love poem.

Since then, they have confirmed their love for each other. The relationship that was already somewhat ambiguous suddenly became clear, like cocktails with obvious layers of color gradually melting into each other after sitting for a long time. They made more intimate moves until they crossed that line... The two people who were already passionate and lustful finally let go of everything, and became passionate and lingering in an instant.

It's like a warm mulled wine with syrup, chocolate, coffee and cinnamon.

It is so sweet, so fragrant, and so fiery. People can't help but drink again after one drink, and feel the warm warmth pouring from the tongue, slipping through the chest, sinking into the lower abdomen, and then flowing all over the limbs and bones. It is so sobering and so intoxicating.

They express their love euphemistically with poems, folk songs, opera arias, and lines from film and television dramas.

I also used a card full of graffiti, a well-cooked meal, some messy childish gifts, and two equally childish smiling faces; I used a warm hug, a nearly suffocating kiss, and an emotional scream .

But so far, they have never said "I love you" clearly.

Delphinium was a little disappointed by this, but also looked forward to it.

That was the expectation of a young girl... She was waiting for Russell to solemnly say these words on a more solemn and romantic occasion that would make her unforgettable in her life.

until now.

Hearing Russell utter these words in a daze, on the one hand, she felt joyful, but on the other hand, she also felt a little bit regretful—how can I put it so lightly?

When I didn't hear it before, I would feel lost...but now I hear it, but I still feel lost.

She stretched out her slender and fair fingers, and gently tapped Russell's cheek, complaining softly:

"This is the first time you've said 'I love you,'"

"I thought I said that."

"No! I remember everything you said except this one. "

"At the beginning, I was shy... and I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I didn't dare to move."

Russell's head came out of the quilt, and his voice became clear.

"Then what happened next?"

Delphinium asked, "I didn't say anything later... did I forget?"

"Although I didn't say these three words, I seem to be saying, I love you every moment."

Russell said softly, "Because I love you all the time too.

"It has become part of my life, the flesh and blood of the new, me. I don't need to repeat it to emphasize something to you, I don't need to emphasize it to declare something, and I don't need to declare it to gain something.

"Because I've already got you, all of you. I say 'I love you' not to get something from you. It's because I really love you."

Never said it before, and now it goes on and on—

"Uh huh huh..."

Delphinium covered her slightly hot face, moaning meaninglessly.

On the contrary, Russell opened his eyes completely, as if he had discovered something, his eyes lit up in the evening.

Delphinium didn't actually intend to force Russell to wake up directly, so she didn't turn on the light... She had quietly left room for Russell to "sleep a little longer". Therefore, Russell's emerald green pupils, which suddenly lit up at this moment, shone so brightly in the darkness, like two gemstones, and also like a bright lamp.

"you

so pure..."

Russell marveled, "I didn't expect that you would like to hear this.

"Then I can tell you every day. Once in the morning when I wake up, and once in the evening when I go to bed. I can take you to the Ferris wheel, or travel to the snow-capped mountains with you. I remember Bad Day said that Taoyuan Island has many The zoo and the aquarium. Or, do you think Yongquan Island is a good tourist attraction?"

"...Aren't you able to penetrate people's hearts?"

Delphinium glared at Russell through her fingers, but she still hadn't taken her hand off—she was still using her hand to cool her cheeks, "Then why don't you look at me more..."

"Except when we first met, I would never look at you with those eyes. It would be disrespectful to you."

"very beginning?"

"It's the first day."

Russell added "before I became" Ultramarine, before. "

"You boy..."

The delphinium suddenly came back to his senses: "You followed me the second day after you went to work? Did you say you were just looking for sex?"

She pointed at Russell's cheeks in a physical sense, and secretly felt that Russell's skin felt really good.

"The color is the real color..."

Russell was poked until his voice was blurred, "But one thing to say, I don't often use that talent to those close to me."

"why?"

"A lesson from childhood."

Russell's voice deepened, "At that time, I understood one thing when I was very young...Everyone has "maliciousness." Friendship is like a gem, there is no one-size-fits-all A perfect diamond with no cracks or stains. In this world, one cannot find a "perfect person"; let alone have absolutely pure feelings.

"Contempt, contempt, jealousy, greed, misunderstanding, anger...Even if you are with your best friend, as long as you get along for a long time and have many scenes, you will always have a rift. Even yesterday's self will I hate it, how can I be forever satisfied with the friends I made yesterday?

"It's just that people use reason and love to suppress those bad thoughts...it's just that they forgive or forget the old unfriendliness.

"...But I can always catch people's "bad thoughts" when they just arise in their hearts. No one can hide their secrets from me. I arrogantly became everyone's friend and took them away. "Social status", this may not be without vengeance. Because I know what kind of ugly people they are in their hearts, so I wanted to carry out "revenge that no one knows" when I was young.

"It's like a Kamen Rider, a masked hero. No one knows his identity, no one knows his abilities, and no one knows what he did, what he punished, what he saved... You may not know. But Every boy will have a similar dream when he was a child, but I can have the ability to realize it at the moment of "just having this wish."

"Sounds dangerous."

"That's really dangerous. But luckily I didn't end up crooked..."

Russell sighed, "And one of the compromises I made was to be tolerant of the people I accepted and recognized.

"Seeing people I love, people I trust, with an ugliness that's not what they appear to be—that's a big, big shock. It's a big disappointment. . . Ah, yes. It's like discovering the stars and idols I admire, and the private image is completely different from the fabricated persona, or even runs counter to it.

"It took me a long time to understand...it's not just a person's inner voice that can represent his "truth".

"A real and complete person is the ultimate fusion of the thoughts in his mind, the restraints he imposes on himself, and his ultimate actual behavior. Without any part, there is no complete person.

"People judge their hearts through the shell of others. This is a kind of judging people by their appearance, preconceived... But I can hear the voices of others, touch the personality of others, and regard this "original wish" hidden in my heart as theirs Essence. Isn’t this a kind of preconception”

He looked into Delphinium's eyes~www.novelbuddy.com~ and said softly: "I used to have a kind of ignorant emotion for you.

"Then I'm even more afraid to listen to your heart. Because I'm afraid I'll hear...something that disappoints me."

Hearing this, Delphinium sighed softly.

Pushing herself up on her elbows, she lifted Russell out of the cup and stuffed his head into her arms.

"Now then, just listen. You can listen as much as you want."

Mixed with her strong heartbeat, Delphinium's gentle voice came: "Listen to my heart seriously and thoroughly. From today onwards, you can always listen to my heart.

"Listen, remember... This is my love for you right now. In the future it will take on other colors and different shapes, but it is at the bottom - still my love. Let me put this sentence first I'll return the words to you, I want you to find a good place, a good time, and tell me seriously again...

"-I love you."
