[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

When Lester uttered the phrase "Any kind of pain is okay", Louis was completely attracted, his expression said everything - on the face that had always been vulnerable and sad after being exposed by Lester's current situation, finally There was a hint of longing.

He looked at Lester, but his eyes were empty.In fact, he was in a trance, thinking about the past that had left him heartbroken, and the almost promised seduction of Lester.

Lester, who never appeared in his boring celebrity life.They originally lived in two completely different worlds, almost parallel and unrelated.He breathes under the bright sky, while Leicester belongs to the dark night.However, Miss Mira's night brought them an intersection.If under the bright sky, the worries that linger in his heart all year round can never be answered, then can the visitor in the dark night answer him?

Louie instinctively believed that Leicester might be able to do it.He's a member of the dark world, maybe even the best, and Louie doesn't mind crossing the line of the law for peace of mind.He still doesn't know how Lester can do it, but if Lester can help him "leap over the painful part" as he said-that is his only wish that has survived until now, and he is willing to sacrifice everything to Leicester, the high priest who belonged to his terrible dream, the killer who killed for him, this handsome and mysterious man.

Thinking of this, Louis' eyes filled with light mist.He was in a trance, nodded invisibly, and nodded again, expressing his affirmative wishes.

"Don't be afraid, Louis." Lester stretched out his hand and gently stroked Louis' cheek. As Louis sat up with his movements, he stretched out his other hand and stroked from Louis' hair to his back, " I'll let you have...opportunities that I never had."

Lester's touch through the clothes made Louis tremble, and a tingling sensation spread from his spine to the tailbone, but he did not avoid it.His eyes refocused, and he met Lester's deep eyebrows and eyes. His expression was so pure and innocent, and there was still moisture in his eyes.This made Lester feel pity in his heart instantly.

Lester stroked Louis's lips with his thumb, and Louis didn't refuse at all, just looked at him deeply with teary eyes, and let him play with him generously, which made Lester feel very happy, he really He is pitiful and loving, and I don't know what to do with this well-behaved boy.

"Now, tell me everything." Lester suggested gently and softly.

As if these words reminded Louis of something, moisture filled his eyes again.This time it was not because he was seduced by Lester's words, but because he felt sad.He thought of the past that made him sad, and he had to tell Lester all these things in order to get Lester's help.For so many years he kept silent about it, but now he was going to tell this stranger he had known for less than two weeks, because he chose to trust him, he began to let go of his heart in front of Lester, and Lester also promised to do it for him. He relieves his pain.

Lester was at a loss for what to do with Louie's weeping expression, and he didn't ask anything yet.He took this fragile beauty into his arms, and it was the most pitiful Louis had been these days, worse than the half-dead in the bar, worse than the drenched in the moonlight, worse than the one rolling on the floor in the heat It's a pity that no one found it.

Lester stroked Louie's long hair slowly and gently, and said reassuringly, "It's okay, Louie, it's okay...I'll help you."

After a while, Louis's suppressed sobs came from his arms.

Lester turned his head slightly, but he realized that Louis might not want people to see his face now, so he continued to pet Louis like a child, giving him some comfort, and let Louis lean on his shoulder silently , and continued this silent hug for a long time.They didn't separate until Louis adjusted his emotions and sniffed.

This is the closest time their hearts have come to each other since these days.Lester put away his cynicism and put on a gentle face, and Louis stopped being tit-for-tat, allowing himself to show incompetence and vulnerability.Although, what is their relationship with each other, for example, is it a romantic encounter one night (although there is only one kiss)?Or friendship?Or an employment relationship?Or, is it an ambiguous relationship between both of them?This has not yet been defined, and no one has made it clear, but they all know that in the future, they will definitely not be strangers.

What Lester is sure of is that he affirms that he likes Louie, and that liking increases as he gets closer to Louie and Louie's life, so he doesn't mind at all, and even quite looks forward to the relationship continuing. The intimacy heats up; and Louie is sure that he is not going to try to contradict Lester again. That kind of meanness wears him out and may hurt Lester, even if he was rude and hard-edged before, Lester He was a little ashamed of the great patience and tenderness with which he had been kind to him, and he wanted to be as nice as possible to Lester, as Lester had been to him.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah." Louis said with a nasal voice.

"If you're not ready, I can wait."

"Is it okay in a few days?"

"can."

"Where?"

"At your convenience."

"I don't want to be at home, can I go to you?"

"can."

"Where should I go?"

Lester thought for a while, wondering which one of his old lairs in the city was more suitable to receive this respectable guest, and finally, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Louis.

Louie took the card.

It was a dark red business card, without much decoration on it, only a black cursive word:

"Crimson (scarlet)."

Louie turned it over, and on the back were a list of addresses and a phone number.

"Private place." Lester said, "When you get there, show your business card, and someone will take you in."

"Okay." Louis agreed like a good boy.

Lester was shocked by the change in Louis. Their conversation seemed to have changed from tense to peaceful and familiar, which meant that Louis no longer planned to continue to think of ways to provoke him, and he began to trust him and believe his words.This transformation of Louie has satisfied Leicester.

"How did you do it?" Louie asked suddenly, "This hair."

"It's a wig, dear."

"Your appearance has also changed a lot."

"Makeup. And some professional makeup effects, changing the details of the face."

"Will you come here again?"

"Do you want me to come here again?"

"You can come here again anytime."

"With this," Lester tugged at the stethoscope on his body, "as a doctor?"

"No," Louie said, "as you are. Can you let someone know who you are?"

"Of course. I see hundreds of people a day sometimes, dear." Matthew Strong had been around long enough as a family doctor to get up and straighten his clothes and put on his gold-rimmed glasses. , "It's almost time, I should go."

"You can come anytime, Lester. Be my friend, above board," said Dr. Matthews, his green-eyed patient, earnestly, before he left the room.

"Then I will."

......

Louis walked into the private club called "Scarlet" at four o'clock in the afternoon five days later.

Now, his body has recovered, he no longer has a fever, and he no longer coughs.He walked in in good health.

The decoration in "Scarlet" did not live up to the name, just like the cards in Louis's hand, everything is made of black and dark red, the lobby is not too big, there is a reception and a rest area, the receptionist is a black The woman with dark eyes looks to be of French descent.

Louis took out the business card: "Hello, I want to find..."

"Oh, hello! Monsieur Louis Pudula?"

"Yes," Louie replied, "How did you recognize that? I haven't introduced myself yet."

"He told you," said the French girl, "please come with me."

"Is it convenient to reveal how he explained to me?" Louis chatted with her, "What's your name?"

"Tuya."

"Good afternoon, Tuya."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Pudula." Recalling how her boss explained to this Mr. Pudula, Tuya almost laughed out loud. She rarely saw the boss asking her what clothes to wear like a fool. More likable, "He said that you are the best looking of the recent visitors."

Imagining the upcoming confession made Louis slightly uneasy, and he was not even in the mood to laugh at the humor in Tuya's words.He followed the lady through a long corridor, the walls were covered with burgundy wallpaper with diagonal stripes, the carpet was much darker than the walls, and there were various paintings hanging on the walls .As the guests move forward, the style is constantly changing, from classicism to impressionism, and there are also some post-modernist sketches.

Finally, they stopped in front of a door at the end of the second floor, and Tuya knocked rhythmically a few times.

A voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Tuya opened the door for Louis, then nodded and left.

The beautiful woman's high heels hit the carpet on the ground, making a slight sound.Her walking posture is very beautiful and decent.Louis watched the kind lady walk a distance, maybe three or four meters, before turning the doorknob.

The room behind the door was well-decorated and surprisingly spacious, and Lester was wearing a stylish three-piece suit and was sitting on the sofa, not knowing where to put his hands.

Louis subconsciously looked down at the off-white cashmere sweater he was wearing.

TBC.
