[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

A month later.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, "Scarlet" club.

Tuya Somala once again welcomed that ridiculously handsome guest.

"Good afternoon, Tuya."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Pudula."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes, sir," Tuya said, "please come with me. The boss has told you that when you come, just take you there."

"Does he work here every day?"

"No, he used to come over occasionally. Recently, he has come every day."

It seems to be waiting for this guest.Tuya thought.She really couldn't understand the weird interest between the boss and his handsome boyfriend.You have a smartphone, but you don’t use it; you can make an appointment in advance, but you don’t, and you have to come suddenly and wait every day.

A few minutes later, like that afternoon a month ago, Tuya knocked on the door of Leicester's office for Louis and retired.

Louis twisted open the door.

He saw Lester with his back turned to him, standing in front of the window, staring at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

"Hi." As always, he spoke first.

Lester's thoughts were pulled away with a "wow".

......

Lester Drianko appeared in "Scarlet" for a month, [-] to [-], non-stop.The news quickly became the nightmare of countless employees.

You know, in the past, this handsome gentleman might not come a few times a month.They were terribly worried about it.There is an established rule in the workplace that when your boss suddenly appears in front of you frequently, it means that he is thinking about how to kill you.

But to their surprise and horror, no one was fired until Mr Drianko resumed his elusiveness.

Most of the time in the office this month, Lester stood in front of the window lost in thought.

I don't know when, this habit has become a permanent guest in his life.He slowly figured out that the reason why Louis likes to look out of the window may not be because there is any fascinating landscape outside, but he just wants to "be lost in thought".Looking out the window seemed like the best solution for this purpose, because it seemed logical and less silly.

During Lester's trance time, he can think of almost everything.This time is enough for him to chew every detail of his past life.Of course, what he thought about most was the day he and Louis parted.

In fact, when Louis was asleep, Lester had thought about that problem: he and Louis had experienced in one day, confessing their feelings, confirming their affection, eating together, shooting guns, seeing each other sincerely, comforting each other, and sharing the same bed After waiting for a series of activities, how should we get along when we wake up the next day?

He thought of no less than ten plans, such as simply dating, or watching some videos, going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients to cook together, or other things that they would do during the ambiguous period.

But he really didn't expect that Louis would fall into melancholic self-condemnation because he felt too happy, and he didn't expect that Louis would throw that problem in front of his eyes so quickly.

That is--

Lester, you promised to give me back the meaning of life, transcend the pain for me, bring me back to life, you killed someone for me, you like me, I like you too, in the end I choose to believe in you.But what if you can't?What should I do if I still feel that life is meaningless and painful?Then, you have to fulfill your promise and give me a chance to choose...

kill me.

Lester's extraordinary self-confidence was unexpectedly absent at this time. He didn't dare to say "this will never happen", so he chose to question Louis' cruelty and refused to make a positive promise.

So Louis asked him, do you love me, Lester?

Lester couldn't tell.

Of course, he liked Louis very much, but Louis would not live for his liking.He likes a lot, but he still can't tell whether it is "love".On the other hand, can love make Louis completely dispel his will to die?Did their love come first, or did Louis' choice come first?

Lester couldn't give an answer.

As Louis said, love is so heavy, I don't know how many times in this life.

Leicester, at least, haven't experienced it yet.

The topic of that day was very serious, cruel and profound, very different from the sweet date Lester had envisioned.Moreover, that was the first time he really revealed his inner negative emotions in front of Louis.

Lester does not believe in God, denies the existence of God, roars blasphemous holiness, this is another side of him, absolutely different from any state he has ever been in front of Louis.

Lester has shown mischievous cunning, bewildered love, unfathomable mystery, easy seduction, jealousy, anxiety, bestiality, tenderness, anger, sadness, lust... But he never let Louis Know the viciousness and violence in his heart, whether it is about sex or God.

At this time, Lester didn't realize that true love sprouted at this moment.Liking means admiring beauty, but love should be able to tolerate everything.

They hugged for a long time that day until the sun started to set.Louis' face was flushed red by the sunlight, but because of the backlight, only the outline remained, and his expression could not be seen clearly.Louis let go of him, put on his clothes silently and left, and when he was about to walk out of the bedroom, he said to him:

"I'll find you in Scarlet, Lester."

Louis didn't say the time, it might be tomorrow, it might be a few months later, but Lester knew that Louis would definitely come, so from the next day, he returned to "Scarlet" and began his waiting.

Finally, the wait is over.

......

"Hi." Lester came back to his senses and greeted him.

Louie walks in.

"What should we do now?"

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"my home."

"which one?"

"The one with pickles in the fridge."

"How much did you buy?"

"You have to see a dentist after you eat it all."

"I'm terrified of going to the dentist, so you have to eat with me."

"Okay." Lester asked. "Where's your luggage?"

"downstairs."

……

Looking at the back of the boss and the handsome green-eyed guy leaving, Tuya breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out her mobile phone and sent a message in the group of colleagues and girlfriends: "Thank God, the crisis is over!"

Within a few seconds, various replies popped up in the group:

[My God, really? 】

【real!The big handsome guy went with him!I saw it in the garage! 】

[Who knows how long they have known each other? 】

[They seem to have had a fight a month ago.Otherwise, why would the boss put his love on work? 】

[He doesn't have a job, Bruna, he just stays in the office. 】

【He waits for him there all day long. 】

[They are reconciled now? 】

【perhaps. 】

【That handsome guy is super nice, perfect, and he still remembers my name. 】

[Who knows his origin? 】

[Will they come together every day in the future? 】

[If you are so handsome and rich, and you have a boyfriend who is as handsome as you, do you go to work at nine o'clock every day or go to Hawaii for vacation? 】

[Or have crazy sex with him day and night. 】

【correct!That's crazy sex day and night at a resort hotel in Hawaii. 】

[But I don't like men. 】

[Shut up, Moranie. 】

[And I don't have a boyfriend.Not even a date. 】

[Shut up, Amy, you too. 】

What the enthusiastic Tuya didn't know was that the people she discussed were also discussing her.

The short deliberate separation did not make Leicester and Louis unfamiliar, on the contrary, it also gave them a subtle familiarity.They chatted like old friends.

"What have you been doing lately?"

"I read, watch movies, work out, run five kilometers a day, and then go to the club for horseback riding or shooting. Occasionally, I go to the company to see."

"When you go there, do they feel like an enemy?"

"A few people may be a little bit. Actually, I don't show my face very much. Many people don't know me."

"Really."

"how have you been?"

"As usual, just out of work."

"Tuya said you come here every day."

"..."

"Is she right?"

"Do you have to expose it?"

"Feel sorry."

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"Ok?"

"I'm thinking about how to deduct her bonus."

"If I were you……"

"if you were me?"

"I'll give her an extra bonus."

"Listen to you."

"...Lester."

"Ah."

"When do we start?"

"……tomorrow."

……

After a month, Louis re-entered the apartment.

Everything is still the same, but there seems to be something different.

Carpet replaced.There are two pairs of slippers in the shoe cabinet.

Lester took Louis' luggage to his cloakroom, which had already been vacated a lot, waiting for a seat.He unzipped the suitcase, took out one by one, and hung them up according to color and length.

Louie wandered around.In fact, apart from the living room and bedroom, he hadn't really visited the apartment much.

He first turned to the bedroom to take a look. The sheets had been changed to a light grass green, the bay window was covered with thick plush blankets, and several pillows of different sizes were placed.

Then he came to the kitchen.The kitchen utensils and stoves here are well-made, but the excessively shiny luster shows that they seem to have not been used a few times; he opened the refrigerator, and there are all kinds of fresh ingredients in it, as well as orange juice and mineral water; what really caught Louis’ attention It was the pickles that Lester had mentioned, and if Louis had asked the kind clerk that day, he would have found out that the jars of pickles were the same brand that Good George used.

Then he took another look into the bathroom.There are two mouthwash cups, two electric toothbrushes, and unopened men's facial cleanser and aftershave water on the sink.He guessed there would be some brand new terry towels in the closet, but he didn't bother to pull them away.

He finally went back to the cloakroom, half-crossed his legs, and leaned crookedly on the door frame, while Lester was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding two clothes in his hands that were of a darker color.

"Your obsessive-compulsive disorder is serious."

"Yes..." Lester stood up, he hung the one on his right hand on the rail of the closet first, hesitated for a while, then inserted the one on his left hand, and reached in front of it.After doing all this, he squeezed his chin and looked at it carefully, then turned back and told Louis, "It's always been like this."

Louis stepped forward and found that Lester wanted to switch the positions of the two clothes again.

"Never mind." He took Lester's hand and led him away from the cloakroom.

The latter is reluctant.

TBC.
