【Clay】Looking like a tiger

The word "YOUWIN" with special flower effects was displayed on the screen of the Apple computer. Klaus did not immediately enter the next game as usual, but closed the online game screen of Demon War Chess, and then directly clicked to shut down.

After the screen became pitch black, he didn't close the notebook either. Instead, he used the notebook as a cover and sneaked out half of his head to look at the man sitting at the opposite table.

Although the desk of Labra's deputy is placed directly opposite the leader's desk, Stephen doesn't actually use this desk very much at all.Most of the time, he would rather spread out on the comfortable sofa to read those documents that seem to have no end at all, which can at least relieve the burden on his waist.Today, he rarely sat at his own desk, sipping a warm drink while flipping through this month's budget documents for Lebra.

But looking at it, an unnaturally large object on the opposite side attracted his attention.

Stephen kept the teacup in one hand and the document in the other, and looked at his awkward partner without hiding his lazy eyes.How can a small Apple computer cover that body that is much stronger than normal?Although Stephen knows that such a natural person as Klaus will definitely not notice these details.Just as he always thought it was very amusing for the hulking guy to quickly tap the keyboard with his fingers, now Klaus's uneasy look of looking towards him also made him full of fun.He just wanted to see how long Klaus would struggle. Anyway, he was not in a hurry. He drank the hot tea slowly, and the scene in front of him was equivalent to dessert with tea.

Finally, after several minutes passed, the red-haired man finally closed the computer and walked over to his desk.

"Stephen, are you busy now?"

Although it seemed nothing on the surface, he and Klaus had known each other for many years, enough to easily see the subtle changes in each other's faces.

This guy is nervous...

"What's the matter, Klaus?" Putting down the document in his hand, Stephen put on a look of listening to the sermon.

"Recently...you always call me at night..."

"Yes what's the matter?"

"You said it was urgent, but it's not really urgent..."

The person who was two meters tall stood in front of the table and looked down at him. He sat on the chair and looked up. This angle did not make him feel that he was at a disadvantage, but he could better observe Klaus' embarrassment.

"Hey Klaus." Putting down the glass, Stephen spread his hands helplessly, "Even if it's just a trivial matter, I think you, as the leader, need to know. And did I hinder you by calling you at night? If so I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."

"It's not Stephen like this..." Klaus hurriedly explained, "I know you have helped me share a lot of work, and I have always been very grateful to you..." As he said, the man lowered his head as if surrendering, lining the corners of Huya's mouth They all pulled down and were lifeless, "You can call me anytime."

Stephen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled heartily, "Hahaha! It's not that serious! All in all, if you're really busy, you don't have to answer my call!"

"...Thank you, Stephen." In silence, the corner of Klaus's mouth suddenly curved, and there seemed to be flowers floating above his head.

Stephen was so frightened that his spine shivered. He couldn't bear to look directly at this honest child, so he quickly drank a few sips of hot tea to soothe his guilt-ridden heart.

"That, Stephen. I have something to ask you."

The chair under the buttocks was replaced by the favorite sofa. At lunch time, the tea table in the middle of the sofa was filled with all kinds of takeaway food. Klaus, who was sitting on the couch opposite him, bent his back like a cat, suddenly asked.

Stephen still had a bite of SUBWAY bread in his mouth, and the strong smell of cheese filled the air.The man with the tie hanging loosely around his neck naturally pushed out the box full of donuts, and the one with the glasses smiled and picked one.

"You rarely have anything to ask me."

"I think you, Stephen, must know more about this than I do."

The leader of Libra is a very smart man.Although the glasses worn by the thick front can't add a bit of wisdom to this overly strong body, and also bring out a bit of unexpected stupidity, but it cannot be denied that the IQ of this man with the appearance and vitality of a beast is definitely above everyone else .

Therefore, Stephen can probably guess what Klaus is going to ask himself.

The smart third young master of the aristocrat lacks the most daily knowledge of ordinary life.This often creates a little joke for Klaus, making the image of the leader of the secret society even less fitting.

"Then you talk about it?"

Klaus folded his fingers, and his face suddenly became very serious. He seemed to be talking about a life-and-death battle plan, "If you want to have a good relationship with someone younger than yourself... what should you do?"

"..." Stephen's whole body stiffened suddenly, and the cold air seemed to rise from the soles of his feet, making him shiver uncontrollably.Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Stephen quickly took a few sips of tea to suppress his shock.After wiping off his cold sweat, Labra's adjutant put on a harmless smiling face, and the air around him seemed to be blooming like ice flowers.

"Klaus...can you tell me, that young child...who is it???"

Leader Labra suddenly felt a chill. Stephen in front of him was smiling kindly. Is it his illusion?

"Ha Chirp---!!!!"

Leo had just picked up the spoon and was about to eat, when a sudden exaggerated sneeze scared away the pair of forks that were stretching over to steal the food.Zhabu Song breathed a sigh of relief that his chopsticks were still stained with Leo's saliva, but he didn't dare to covet the cheese and seafood baked rice that Leo ordered with a lot of saliva or nasal discharge.

Jeter, who was sitting at the other end, stopped and looked over with a fork in his hand, "Have you caught a cold?"

Leo sniffed, "No?" Recently, he had a good meal and a good stay at Mr. Claus's house, and he was very energetic.

Zhabu rolled up a pile of spaghetti with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing it whole, he let out a mouthful of air, then turned his head to wink at Leo and smiled, "Someone must have said something bad!!"

Leo unhappily took a few mouthfuls of rice, and before he could swallow it all, he fought back angrily, "I don't want to be said that by you, a scum who is talked about by women behind her back every day."

"Ah?? It's a good thing for a woman to speak ill of me! Is that for? I'm jealous! Are you envious?!"

"Well, don't quarrel while eating..."

"It's not like your pubic hair and your salty fish. You're an orphan!" Zabu pointed his fork at Leo and then pointed at Jeter, his sarcastic Yanyi face made the two good-tempered people furious.

"Hey, Jeter. Are you going to make the goddam spaghetti look like shit..."

"Not bad, as disgusting as it can be..."

"Hey! Just kidding!" Zhabu was so scared that he protected his spaghetti, although this action could not stop Leo's prosthetic eye from launching, "I mean! If you have any troubles about women, you can come Ask me hahahaha!!"

Zabu, who turned his face faster than a book, laughed and wanted to get away with it, so Leo and Jeter let him go and continued to fill their stomachs.

It’s just that it’s quite boring to eat like this. After eating for a while, Zhabu scratched his stomach and insisted on saying something.

"Hey, let's talk about women, women!! Don't tell me that you have never had a woman when you grow up!!"

Jeter was silent, and Leo was also silent. Zhabu looked at his junior murloc, and then directly chose Leo as the target of harassment.

"Smelly brat," he wrapped his arms around Leo's neck and put it close to him pretending to be familiar. Zhabu poked Leo's soft cheeks stuffed with rice with a wicked smile, "I think your face is very popular with big sisters~ like K ? Miss K really likes you! Tell the seniors about your love troubles~~~"

"I don't have any love troubles..."

"I won't let you go without saying one or two things!!!"

"Zab, let go of Leo!"

In this way, the three of them pushed back and forth, and the meal was finished like this.After the meal, Leo was holding a glass of water in both hands, staring at it wanting to drink but not wanting to drink, Zhabu was picking his teeth with Erlang's legs crossed, and Jeter was calculating how much the meal cost.

"That...is a friend of mine's trouble..."

"...?!" The two people who were fighting blood were so startled that they turned their heads to look at Leo, who was sitting in the middle and bowed his head. "A friend" means, in fact, they all understand.

But on this occasion, you and I look at each other, tacitly not to expose.

Zhabu urged excitedly, "Come on, let's talk about it!"

"A person my friend cares about recently..." Leo blushed and stammered, staring at the water glass in front of him, "He is a very kind, gentle, and charming person, such a person...Of course It will be loved by many people... Then... what should I, my friend do..."

Silently watching Leo's love affair, Zhabu and Jeter have their own thoughts when they look at each other.

Zhabu put his hand on his chin and laughed wantonly, "There are many such cases! It must be because the child is very attractive that many people pursue it~ I understand, I understand~

Seeing Zabu nod repeatedly, Jet teased ruthlessly, "You must have done a lot of stalking things for the way you speak so clearly."

Zabu was so angry that he slammed his hammer on the table and glared at Jeter, "Don't look at Bian stalking! How many goddesses have been chased by me like this! The most important thing is to be proactive! Did you hear that, Leo!"

"I think you should silently guard and support behind you. One day, the other party will understand your heart and be moved."

"Huh?" Zabu yelled out in disbelief, "What era are you a country bumpkin! If you do this, you will only be a spare tire for the rest of your life! Don't listen to this fish, Leo!"

"No, Leo," Jeter glared at Zabu and retorted, "If you follow this stallion's approach, it will only make the other party more and more disgusted. After all, the women you chased did not break up super quickly. ?!"

"At least it's better than your DT, D?T!!"

"What did you say??!!"

"Ah?? Want to fight??!!"

At the beginning, the topic surrounding Leo quickly turned into a routine quarrel between the two senior brothers.Leo, who was sandwiched between the two, was no longer surprised by the strangeness. The embarrassment he had just struggled with just now had disappeared. He took a sip of the glass of water, and the scolding sounds from his left and right ears made him inexplicable. peace of mind.

Cool water poured down his throat, and Leo squinted his eyes calmly to watch the two fight in the restaurant.Although usually he would try to stop it for Jeter's sake, but today he always felt that he didn't have that kind of thought, and most of them couldn't be stopped by him alone.

Slowly drinking water, looking at the wrestling brown and cyan objects, Leo felt an inexplicable sense of peace in this chaotic city.

Although the beating is meaningless, what the two of them said just now can be used as a reference.

The initiative of stalking, and the support of silent protection...

For some reason, he drank the water and blushed as if he had drunk wine.

A momentary tingling sensation.

This kind of slight pain and cold feeling like acupuncture on the acupuncture points on the neck is a bit familiar no matter what.

After dinner, he was about to go back to his room, and when he was walking in the corridor as usual, this penetrating sense of menace suddenly crawled all over his body like a group of ants, making his steps cast on the smooth floor.

"..." He almost didn't have to guess, the sense of crisis of being targeted by wild beasts must have come from that person.

After thumping and swallowing his saliva, Leo turned around stiffly, and seeing the man standing behind him exuding a strong and strange aura, he couldn't help but let out a little woo-wah.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Claus...?" Although he knew that the other party would not be malicious towards him, this wrong way of expressing nervousness really scared him enough every time.

"Leonard-kun... are you in a hurry to go back to the room now?" Klaus was sweating, and the reflection into a piece of white glasses added to his misunderstood expression a little more terrifying.

"No... I can do it! Is there anything Mr. Claus wants to say to me?"

"This..." The man took out a bundle of eye-catching things from behind, stretched out his hand and handed it to Leo, "I'll give it to you."

Leo took what Klaus handed over without thinking, his eyes were bright red, isn't this...a rose?

"This..." Leo was dumbfounded immediately, "Why did you send me... flowers?"

"Don't you like it?" Seeing Leo's reaction of surprise more than joy, Klaus seemed even more nervous.

"Not really..." Leo frowned and said, "Is there anyone who doesn't like flowers? It's just that it doesn't look like something Mr. Claus would do..."

There was some regret at the end of the words, Leo looked down at the bouquet of gorgeous blooming roses with a smile.After careful selection, pruning and bandaging, each flower presents the most delicate and beautiful state. Although it is very pleasing to look at, I always feel that it is a pity that he cannot be as ordinary as those who received the flowers. Cheer up.

A rose-scented silence flows through the spacious corridor.

Klaus looked at Leo who was holding a bouquet of roses, and the image of the bright red dyed on the dark blue clothes evoked some fragments, which made his heart ache for a moment.He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth as if hating himself, then lowered his head guiltily.

"Feel sorry."

"...Huh?" Leo suddenly felt that he had said too much, the weird atmosphere on Klaus disappeared, replaced by a kind of piety like confessing to a priest.

"I'm obviously a flower grower, but it's really embarrassing to send you this kind of flower bought on the street that will wither in a few days."

"No, there's no such thing!!" Holding the rose that Klaus gave him, Leo hurriedly defended, "I just think it's a waste to give me such an expensive flower!" In an instant, Zabu said The stalker and the silent guardian that Jeter said came to mind, Leo wondered how he thought of such trifles, but when he saw the downcast expression of Klaus in front of him, he always felt something was stuck in his heart, and he wanted to vent but Could not find the exit.

Just like that night, that untouchable kiss, this kind of half-hearted feeling is making people anxious.

Grasping the bunch of flowers tightly, Leo took a deep breath secretly, then raised his head, and said loudly against the flushed cheeks, "Although... it may not be suitable, but Mr. Claus can give me something, I really... So happy!!"

"........."

For a while, Klaus froze there.The little Leo under him hugged the bunch of bright red flowers tightly, and the resolute expression on his round face seemed to be dyed with a little rose red.

"Mr. Claus, can you keep your head down a little?"

Hearing Leo's words, Klaus bent down a little for some unknown reason.

"so?"

"A little lower!!"

"...Is this all right?"

"...Well, that's it!"

The tall man was bent forward, and the short boy below looked up. Red hair, green eyes, glasses and fangs, everything about the other party was locked into his eyes.

The time it takes to make up your mind and muster the courage is just a heartbeat away.

Standing on tiptoe, he tried his best to make himself taller and get closer to Klaus——

The soft touch of the lips was beyond imagination. For a moment, as if in a dream, his lips kissed Klaus's. Smell, on the contrary, it has a unique smell of flowers and plants.

Although the smell is very light, it smells better than the roses in his arms.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and when he looked into Klaus' eyes, the lips that had just touched each other were as hot as fire.

"Thank you...for sending me flowers...good night...!"

Feeling his face getting hotter and hotter, Leo dropped those words and ran back to the room in a hurry.

Klaus was left there alone, looking at the direction Leo ran away. After a while, he finally realized what happened just now, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

The phone's screen lights up, showing an incoming call from Klaus.

In the melodious voice of the lead singer of Qingba, Stephen smiled apologetically at the sexy female companion next to him, reached out and took the phone to swipe the screen.

"Hey, Klaus, why are you calling me?"

"Stephen, is it convenient for you to talk on the phone now? I think you seem to be in a bar..."

"Ah, it's okay. Tell me."

"That... I sent the flowers out."

"Oh, I did. And what about the reaction?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and the voice became a little uneasy, "kissed me, and then ran away... Is this a disgusting behavior? Because I received flowers, I wanted to respond politely, but I still couldn't help it." To run away..."

Stephen's smiling face froze, his hand tendons popped and he almost wanted to squeeze the phone, "I said Mr. Claus, what should I say about you..."

"Stephen..."

"All in all, just do what you want! Hang up!"

"Wait a moment--"

Before he could finish speaking, the phone call he had dialed had been cut off.Klaus looked at the length of the call with the deputy, and the big hand pressed back.

After thinking blankly for a while, he pressed his finger on the information icon, hesitated, and chose the first contact.

The phone's screen lights up, showing a text message from Klaus?V?Reinherz.

The boy who had just changed into pajamas held his mobile phone, looked at the name displayed on the screen, and slowed down his heartbeat before swiping to check.

"I didn't have time to say good night to you just now.

Good night, Leonardo.

Next time I will send you plants that bloom every year.

May you sleep soundly. "

After reading the text message, Leo grabbed the phone, wondering whether to reply or not.There was no vase in his room, so he had to put the roses that Klaus gave him on the table.After glancing at the bouquet of roses, he turned his attention to the small potted plants on the windowsill.

If it goes on like this, will she really bloom?

This thought flashed through his mind, and the blush that he had managed to get rid of rose again. He hurriedly put his phone away and lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, desperately telling himself not to think too much and go to sleep quickly.

"..."

Between half-dream and half-awake, the boy's raving shouted someone's name, and it reached the ear of a certain flower.

Maybe even the teenager who observes every day didn't notice that a small bud was hidden among the green leaves, as immature and green as an ignorant love affair.
