Chapter 58
The scenery outside the car window was rapidly receding.
Surrounded by Yuri and Grayson, standing in the corner of the crowded maglev train, Shen Yinyin was still a little confused.
Her stance was awkward.
With his back against the car window, there was nowhere to retreat.
In front of him were two tall, handsome young men.
Because it was so crowded, she was almost stuck to them.
The masculine scent invaded her nose. It wasn't unpleasant, just too close.
A strange threesome.
It is clear that before this, there was hostility and bullying between the three of them, but now they are strangely harmonious.
What was even stranger was that the overly noisy and chaotic carriage became oddly quiet when she got on.
The burning gazes from all around made Shen Yinyin's eyelashes tremble nervously.
Because she didn't want to be stared at, she wanted to turn her back several times, but then she thought, facing Grayson and Yuri, it seemed even more awkward.
"Yuri, how far is your home?"
Shen Yinyin, who couldn't stand this atmosphere, asked in a low voice.
As soon as Shen Yinyin opened her mouth, her soft and sweet voice caused a commotion in the carriage.
The beautiful black-haired girl, who was closely guarded by two young and strong males, attracted everyone's attention.
The male behind him, who was ready to move, pushed Yuri forward.
Shen Yinyin's little head was suddenly hit by Yuri's chest, and her face, which had been lowered, was exposed as her head tilted back.
She is slender and delicate, with a soft and white face. Among the male orcs with deep brow bones and strong lines, she looks like an exquisite oriental doll in ancient civilization.
With her slightly moist eyes open and her thick, curled eyelashes fluttering, she looked at Yuri blankly, being unusually obedient and soft.
Yuri's breath was choked for a moment when he was looked at. "Did it hurt you?"
He expressed concern but did not step back.
Seeing Shen Yinyin shaking her head, Yuri added, "We're almost there."
Grayson, who was standing by, saw Shen Yinyin's good temper and squeezed forward a little.
Shen Yinyin thought that there were too many people behind her and did not suspect anything.
She tried her best to curl herself up into a small ball, but suddenly she missed Duke Lebert's luxurious and spacious flying ship.
Come to think of it, Duke Lebert didn't even give her any pocket money.
He must be mad at himself because he ran away that night, right?
What Shen Yinyin didn't know was that Leibert didn't give her pocket money not because he was angry, but because he felt so strongly guilty that he simply forgot about it.
At this time, Duke Leibert looked at his subordinates' fruitless investigation report, his brows lowered and his face gloomy.
The person who attacked Shen Yinyin was more cautious than he thought.
But then again, there's not a single person left alive, so even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn't know where to start.
Pinching his nose, Lebert's mind once again reappeared the image of the girl covered in blood last night and how she was afraid of him after waking up.
With his lips tightly pursed, Leibert didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking his kneeling subordinate.
"What should I do to appease her..."
The trembling subordinate was stunned when he heard this.
After all, Duke Lebert is the richest man and the most noble man in the galaxy, and he has a noble status. How could there be someone worthy of him lowering himself to please him?
The subordinate racked his brains, remained silent for a few seconds, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Replying to the Duke, if you want to coax someone, you usually give gifts, treat them to a meal, and then apologize..."
Leibert stroked the ring on his slender finger bones thoughtfully, and when he spoke again, the coldness in his tone had eased a lot.
"Okay, you go down."
The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and retreated quickly.
Leibert knew that although the little guy said that he liked him, he resisted his inappropriate and intimate touch.
Is it because the love is not responded to as it should be, nor is it given the identity it deserves, that's why it's like this?
Robert lowered his eyes, looked at the ruby ring on his hand that symbolized the glory of his family, and took it off.
The exquisite and intricate ancient ring still shines brightly even after a long time.
Robert turned his fingertips, and the ruby ring split into two, becoming a pair of beautiful rings.
In addition to symbolizing family honor, this ring also represents the continuation and inheritance of family bloodline, and can be given to the partner you choose.
Leibert did not intend to give this ring with special meaning to any disgusting female.
Because they don't deserve it.
But now, he has someone he wants to give the gift to, even if that person is just a genderless person.
Her eyes were as bright as when she said she liked me.
If I gave her a big dinner, acknowledged her as her life partner, and put this ring on her finger...
Will she be close to me like she was that night, with eyes full of me?
Shen Yinyin, who didn't know she was in big trouble, was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her after getting off the maglev train.
Unlike the prosperous center of the capital, the place where Yuri lived was not much better than the black market she had been to before.
Dilapidated buildings, gray sky, and people of all kinds. When they saw them, they looked at them with either ill intentions or greed.
Grayson, who came from a wealthy family, frowned when he saw the messy environment.
Seeing the girl's uneasiness, he grabbed her hand and said, "Little one, are you sure you want to go in with Yuri?"
Grayson finished speaking and glanced at Yuri, his disdain clearly evident on his face.
Yuri lowered his eyes, his fair and cold face had a gloomy expression under his gray hair.
His lips were tightly drawn, and his long eyelashes hid the inferiority in his eyes: "Don't go, I'll get the things for you..."
In fact, there was no need for her to come along.
He just wanted an excuse to see her more and stay with her more.
Yuri, with his back straight and silent, didn't dare to look at the girl.
The opposite of a strong self-esteem and unwillingness to yield is extreme inferiority complex.
Their bloodline was not pure and good enough, their family was poor, their father was seriously ill, and their mother abandoned them...
The wolf cub who grew up in the mud always gets beaten, scolded and looked down upon by others, so he becomes gloomy and silent.
His father spent all his money to find him a wife, but the situation did not improve.
The colder abyss dragged Yuri and pulled him down.
However, as he was falling, he encountered a ray of light passing by him...
Shen Yinyin didn't dislike the environment in which Yuri lived, she was just a little surprised.
I didn't expect Yuri's living environment to be so bad.
After all, Yuri has a noble temperament and outstanding appearance, which makes him out of place here.
Sensitively aware of Yuri's inferiority complex, Shen Yinyin gently pulled his sleeve and said in a gentle tone: "Yuri, can you invite me, your friend, to your home?"
Yuri looked slightly stunned.
He pursed his lips and nodded, feeling sour and warm in his chest.
Grayson, who was unable to get a word in, was left behind. He curled his lips and looked at Yuri unhappily.
Heh, as a man, why are you pretending to be weak for whom? !
I can only deceive this idiot Shen Yinyin!
In the messy alley, a middle-aged male who was idling around whistled at Shen Yinyin in a frivolous manner when he saw Yuri walking home with a beautiful genderless person.
"Little wolf cub, you don't stick to your female wife, is it because you hooked up with her?"
"That little mouth is so pink, I wonder if the rest of her body is pink too..."
Others also started to make fun of her: "Yuri, you have to be gentle when you do it to her on the bed. She doesn't look like she can stand it from you tossing her around a few times~"
