[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

Let's pull back time to the present.After all, Mr. Lester Drianko still had a question before him that he hadn't figured out how to answer.

Louis's probing eyes made Lester feel embarrassing for a while.He recalled the conversation just now——

"why me?"

"I think you look really cute in that."

"You know I'm not talking about SpongeBob SquarePants."

Louie is smart.He could tell by the fact that Lester found a SpongeBob T-shirt from the box and chest that the other party was a long-term resident of that suite. He even guessed that Lester lived there as his home—otherwise, how could there be so many clothes there? , or this style, obviously not just a spare.

In fact, these days, Louis thinks about Leicester all the time.

You know, you are just an ordinary person, neither a doctor who is used to life and death, nor a criminal who licks blood with the tip of a knife.In your bright and bright life, suddenly one day, someone kills another person for you, so from that moment on, throughout your life, he must mean something different to you, no matter what his reason is Purpose. ——At least Louis can be sure that Leicester is definitely not for money.

Many people have lived a mediocre life for a lifetime, and they will never have the opportunity to experience this kind of weird happiness.And now, Leicester gave this happiness to Louis.Louie wanted to know why Lester was doing it.

This handsome and mysterious blond man seemed to have fallen from the sky. He rescued him in that gloomy and deserted alley, took care of him completely, brought him to his long-term residence, and accompanied him Throughout the day, kissing him after he woke up gave him really good memories.

However, before the heat of that kiss dissipated, this fickle guy left and threw him into the swimming pool before leaving.He fell into the water world, and he couldn't tell whether it would be suicide or murder if he fell in this way.At this time, Lester reappeared and fished him up with that angry and helpless attitude, as if there was nothing he could do about him.

However, after Lester picked him up, he completely ignored him, and let him sleep all night wet, and then developed a high fever.In the past few days of his illness, Lester, like a restless eight-year-old boy, came to visit him twice in a row, and today he even played a game of dress-up.

In short, it was as if one day, Lester broke into his life carelessly, then frequently appeared in front of him in various ways, and then walked away as if he was having trouble.Just go away, he will have to come back soon.

Can you say that this self-proclaimed killer is actually a killer, and he may really be a killer. Can you play with him when you are bored?What is he planning?

Louis wants to ask more things.

——Why did it happen to appear in that deserted alley?

——Why did you choose to save me?

——How do you know that I want someone to kill me?

——Why inexplicably broke into my life again and again?

—why...kiss me?

So many questions, finally converged into one - "Why me?"

In fact, there were just a few short moments when a strange thought came to Louis's mind - he couldn't see me, right?But he didn't want to think about it. It wasn't that he felt disgusted by men, but that he found it incredible, and he didn't want to be sentimental.He occasionally watched some Hollywood blockbusters with killer themes, so he decided that a person like Lester might be a playboy in his spare time, always teasing when he saw a beautiful person.

During several meetings while awake, Louis tried to set the tone, but Lester could always find a way to bypass it.Their level of debate is evenly matched, and neither can convince the other.This kind of tit-for-tat, mutual probing, and seesaw-like dialogue made Louis feel very interested. In fact, he is well-bred and doesn’t talk much. Basically, everyone who meets him has to praise him for being polite. He doesn’t like to contradict others so much.But, perhaps resenting Lester for throwing him into the water and then catching him up, Louis kept talking to Lester again and again.He doesn't seem to realize that he looks like a lively little hedgehog in front of Lester, which is completely different from his usual world-weary attitude.Moreover, Lester, who is doing black work, seems to have a surprisingly good temper, and he is not annoyed by Louis' rudeness at all. Or, Louis subconsciously thinks that Lester will not get angry with him, so he is a little bit annoyed. What about unscrupulous?

The latest development is that Lester dictated a detailed mission experience.In Louie's mind, this was a conversation that arose naturally from the conversation about the T-shirt that looked like something a theme park visitor would wear.And this experience, of course, is different from the cold-blooded and violent killer jobs conceived in Louis's head, and unexpectedly contains a lot of warmth.

This tenderness gave Louis some new perspective on Leicester.For example, Louis appreciates Leicester's professional principles, and also has new considerations for the humanity in his blood.From this point of view, apart from being a killer who is born with original sin for a just world who makes money by killing, he is also a pretty good person. ——Of course Louis wouldn't know, Lester racked his brains to think that he had done such a good thing that might please Louis, and he deliberately spoke in a calm tone, as if he didn't care.In fact, this plan emerged in his mind when he was rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Like a dormant cheetah, he waited patiently for the prey to catch him.

Look, in the end it was Leicester who came out on top, great Leicester!

If Lester had known that there were so many questions in Louie's little, freshly-fevered head, and that Louie could overcome the mental block and ask them all without shyness, he would have answered them like this:

——Why did it happen to appear in that deserted alley?

——Because I follow you to watch a good show all night.

——Why did you choose to save me?

——Because I fell in love with you at first sight.

——How do you know that I want someone to kill me?

——Because of your broken expression, and your reckless provocation against that villain.

——Why inexplicably broke into my life again and again?

——Because I don't want to end here, I want to have a deeper relationship with you.

—why...kiss me?

——Because I don't like the look in your eyes where the flame of life has been extinguished and there is nothing but ashes on the ground. (Okay, it's because you woke up with a hangover and wore that SpongeBob SquarePants in front of me with your hair on your head, and that was too cute to handle. As for throwing it in the pool, I'm sorry, it was a natural prank .)

Do you want to tell Louis the truth?thought Lester.Just tell him, I like you, I am full of affection for you, your beauty makes me fascinated, and your courage to challenge life and seek death with all your heart.But, you bother me again, you are young and rich, half the world would envy you, but you always seem strangely lonely.You make me obsessed and you drive me crazy.I thought this was just another short but passionate affair after exhausting work, but I couldn't help but think of you, your painful and beautiful expression, your soft and moist lips.In just two weeks, I wanted to see you countless times, so I came to you again and again.I don't do it often, but you are really special.

OK!Lester, just tell him that, tell him you're obsessed with him.When Lester thought this way, the villain in his heart waved his fist smugly.

However, he suddenly realized—if the window paper was pierced, would it arouse Louis' resistance?No one can say no to Leicester, never.Leicester was extremely confident about this, but he dared not take any chances on Louis.

Lester coughed lightly, wandering his eyes around the room, carefully avoiding Louis.As his eyes fell to a mirror in the room--where he saw his own wandering face--he suddenly had a most daring idea in his mind.

In fact, after leaving the pool, Leicester had already figured out Louie's background within a few days.In the short 25 years of Louis's life experience, what is it that makes this handsome and wealthy young man have the desire to die?The answer seemed unique, and not at all hard to guess.

Unlike Louis, Lester is a calm outsider, and a killer who is used to filth and death. Therefore, he smelled an unusual breath from the event that changed Louis' life— ——That is Louis and his shrewd housekeeper Payne, the darkness that people who live in the sun don't even think about.Although there is no evidence, Lester has concluded that there is something wrong with his precise professional sensitivity.

He didn't know if he should tell Louie this now, although he felt that Louis would want to know.However, given their current relationship, it would be too offensive for him to directly say these things, after all, no one likes being checked out by others.Moreover, according to Leicester's knowledge, the excessive grief made Louis sad, so he never mentioned this matter these years. No one would be able to accept the truth of revealing the blood dripping inside.Louie would probably hate him to the bone.

However, if Louis is given enough temptations to make Louis believe that he, Lester, has enough skills to solve his problems, and at the same time, give Louis enough time to prepare, and then take the initiative to confide the painful past?

Thinking of this, Lester was extremely satisfied, and even wanted to applaud his idea.

The expression on Lester's face suddenly changed from being at a loss to being complacent, which made Louis's heart beat.

"Actually, Louis," Lester folded the glasses with an elegant gesture and put them on the bedside cabinet, "I'm here to fulfill your wish."

Louie's face was appropriately puzzled.

"Do you feel that life is meaningless? Is this your mentality now?" Lester raised his head and looked around the ceiling. "You can drink good whiskey, but you choose to drink bad bourbon , no matter how delicious the wine is, it has no taste in your mouth, right? Those Michelin restaurant food, people are flocking to, you can get it at your fingertips, but in your eyes, it is basically tasteless. Because, for some reason, you think You've lost all energy, you don't want to live anymore, you want to find someone to kill yourself, don't you?"

Louis had a weak expression on his face that was seen through.He covered his face, almost moaning.This is the truth that he dared not let anyone know.Because, if the people around him, anyone, whether it's Ms. Payne or other servants or friends, know this, they will definitely try their best to stop his bad thoughts.But now, the disguise has been exposed, and the sharp spines of the hedgehog can no longer threaten the person in front of him.His mind was ripped apart from the inside out, the hedgehog was forced to reveal the pink, warm and fluffy belly hidden under the countless sharp thorns, and now Lester can attack as much as he wants He, ravaged him, and he couldn't resist anymore.

But Louie was wrong, and it wasn't Lester's intention to hurt him with words.

Lester propped up the mattress with one hand, and his upper body approached Louis's direction. His movements had a kind of condescending oppression, because Louis was half lying down.He looked at Louis gravely and earnestly, with unfathomable intent in his blue eyes.He lowered his voice, his voice was so low that it sounded like it came from hell—maybe that's what he really was.He asked in an almost bewitching tone: "What if I can give you back the meaning of life, Louis? If so, I can relieve your pain...help you, the part that transcends pain , into another world that you have never imagined and never touched?"

"Can any pain be okay?"

"Any pain is fine."

TBC.
