Then he was like a young boy who had just begun to fall in love, stumbling to strike up a conversation with the girl, asking some very boring questions.
But the woman never showed any impatience. Instead, she happily chatted with Senior.
"What kind of people do you hate?"
Senior asked a roundabout question, looking forward to the other party's answer.
And the woman's answer was also very straightforward, without thinking, "Pirates are the most annoying."
"By the way, what do you do for work?"
Senior's face was stiff, and his face began to sweat anxiously, and he subconsciously made up a lie.
"Ah... I'm... I'm in the bank... Yes, I work in the bank, as a bank clerk."
"Hey, bank clerk, what a nice job~"
"Yes... yes."
In the incomparable torment, Senior didn't even know when the rain stopped, let alone how he left in the end.
But he remembered the name.
Lucien!
The woman who made his heart flutter was called Lucien.
. . . . . . .
"Hi, Mr. Peek~ what a coincidence, we met again, didn't you go to work today?"
"Going to work... Ah, I'm on vacation today. You know, bank employees always get better benefits, so they take a lot of vacations."
"That's great. I can only envy those who work part-time in a flower shop every day."
"actually, I..."
"Ah, no, I'm going to be late! Let's talk next time, bye."
. . . . . .
"Welcome~ Excuse me...Mr. Pique?"
"Well, I... I'm here to buy flowers."
"Buying flowers? Are you going to give them away?"
"Um..."
"What kind of flowers would Mr. Peek want to buy?"
"Just that."
Senior was nervous and sweated again, so he casually pointed at a bundle.
A tangled look suddenly appeared on Lucian's face.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Can I ask whom Mr. Peek is going to give it to?"
"I... haven't figured it out yet."
"Then I suggest that Mr. Peake better change to another kind of flower, because this kind of white chrysanthemum is usually bought for mourning, and it may not be very good if it is given away. But I personally like it~"
Senny Alton showed an embarrassed look, but fortunately, he had been covered with sunglasses, which prevented him from running away.
After that, he bought a beautiful bouquet of carnations on the recommendation of Lucian and left.
I don't know that after he left, the smile on the beauty's face never disappeared.
And for the next few days, Senior never left the island, always thinking of various ways to create chance encounters, as if seeing Lucian every day was already a very happy thing.
Until this day, he walked out of the flower shop with a bunch of freshly bought flowers in his hand.
"Hi, Peek! Long time no see, are these flowers for me?"
Outside the door, Abel greeted Senior generously.
In fact, he found the other party earlier. In order to see what Pique was doing, he didn't show up, and chose to follow Pique all the time.
But in the face of his poor tracking, this guy Pique has been unaware?
Simply incredible!
So he had to take the initiative to show up.
"Abel? How could you..."
Senior was surprised for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and immediately shut up.
At this time, Lucian, who came out with him, asked curiously: "Mr. Peek, who is this child?"
"My nephew."
"I'm his brother."
"Eh?"
The two glared at each other, then replied again:
"My brother."
"I'm his nephew."
"..."
Abel shrugged his shoulders and wanted to skin it again, but after seeing Senior's eyes that were about to breathe fire after pulling off his sunglasses, he had no choice but to signal Senior to say it himself.
"It's like this. This kid is called Abel. He is a distant relative of mine. According to seniority, I am his uncle, but I usually treat him as my younger brother."
I don't know if it's the quick wits that have been tempered by lying for the past few days, but Senior was really fooled by this matter.
Lucian didn't delve into it, and bent down with a bright smile, trying to touch Abel's head, but Abel took a step back and avoided it.
"What a handsome little guy~"
Being avoided, Lucian was not angry, but praised Abel with a smile.
"Then let's go first, don't forget tomorrow... have dinner together tomorrow night."
"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Peek. Goodbye, little handsome guy who doesn't like being patted on the head."
Senior looked away reluctantly, and the two walked towards the empty alley in a tacit understanding.
"So that woman is the reason why you have stayed here and postponed returning to the family several times?"
Abel put away his smile and looked at each other seriously.
Chapter 97 Sanjiang's reflection~
Thanks to Ruo Ye, the editor in charge of Lao Faceless, and to every book friend who has always supported Lao Faceless.
We have been recommended by Sanjiang again!
When I first wrote this book, someone persuaded Old Faceless, saying that few people are willing to read Pirates now, and it is better to write something instead of writing about Pirates.
Click on the best-selling light novel category, and there is no book with the word pirate in the top ten.
Even in the top 100, there are only a few books.
It seems that it was so hot in the past, but now it is indeed cool.
But no matter whether he is old faceless or unwilling to admit this, old faceless still opened this book without hesitation, and he will soon write nearly a hundred chapters.
Old Faceless can't guarantee how high he can write this pirate fanfic, let alone say big words that can make the pirate fandom popular again.
But what Lao Wuface can guarantee is that no matter what the grades of this book are, he will definitely not be an eunuch, and will write it to completion step by step!
Because this is a story that Old Faceless wants to write and likes to write.
At the same time, this is also a promise!
And everyone is welcome to supervise together!
Finally, Old Faceless is also here to wish every book friend a happy new year and good health!
If there are any recommendation tickets or monthly tickets that cannot be thrown away, you are welcome to throw them to Lao Wumian.
Don’t ask for rewards, I hope you can buy more things you like, and when Lao Wu Mian is on the shelves, you can support a few more subscriptions, and Lao Wu Mian will be satisfied.
grateful!
Chapter 98 Make a Plan (Please Read More! Please Read More!)
With Lucian no longer in sight, Senior returned to his cool look.
Facing Abel's affirmative question, he first lit a cigarette for himself, and then threw the remaining half pack to Abel.
Just looking at the action of smoking, the two figures, one big and one small, are almost identical.
If Lucian saw it, he would no longer doubt Senior's previous explanation.
After a long time, until the cigarette was finished, Senior said slowly: "Her name is Lucian..."
Abel quietly listened to his narration without saying a word, listening to the most genuine thoughts in Senior's heart as well as his inner anxiety and uneasiness.
Although Abel had already expected this result.
But it was the first time he had seen this man fall in love with a woman.
Don't underestimate the charm of Senior, this guy can attract a bunch of women no matter where he goes.
But Senior has always been honest, as if no beautiful woman has any attraction for him.
So much so that people in the family often tease him about this kind of thing.
But it was such a man, now he was looking forward and backward because of a woman, which really made Abel speechless.
Perhaps this is the power of love.
"So what are you going to do? Just keep procrastinating like this? Neither express your intentions nor return to the family?"
Senior hesitated for a moment, then lit himself another cigarette in agitation, "I haven't figured out what to do yet, give me some time, and I'll go back after I've dealt with things here."
Abel looked at him seriously and said, "I don't think you should hesitate like this. This is not like the Pique I know."
"Then what do you think I should do? Just give up?"
"No, you should go after it boldly. Believe me, I can tell that the woman named Lucian looks at you differently from the way she looks at other people."
"Really?!"
When Senior heard this, he was immediately agitated. He even dropped the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, grabbed Abel's shoulder, and looked very nervous, as if he was afraid that Abel was lying to himself.
Abel nodded, "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. She should also have some affection for you, at least she doesn't hate you. This is undoubtedly a good start."
Senior smirked a few times, and then he didn't know what he thought, and he became worried again, "But my identity...she hates pirates the most. If I let her know that I am not a bank employee, I have been lying to her all this time, she will never forgive me, let alone be with me."
Abel frowned immediately, indeed, this is a very serious question.
Even if Senior was able to deceive the other party for a while, how could it be possible to hide this kind of thing for a lifetime?
Unless he left the family now and returned to the life of ordinary people.
But is that possible?
Leaving aside whether Senior is willing or not, he won't be able to pass Doflamingo's level!
You know Doflamingo hates traitors the most!
And Senior's practice of leaving the family for a woman is undoubtedly the biggest betrayal!
At that time, not to mention the two getting married and living a good life, within two days, the family will send cadres to clean up the traitors, and it is even very likely that Doflamingo will come over in person.
If this is the case, the two of them will be dead, and neither will survive.
Thinking of this, Abel finally understood why Xignor was so entangled and hadn't told Doflamingo the truth.
"It's really tricky..."
Abel also became irritable, and the two leaned against the wall like this, smoking cigarettes one after another, silently thinking of a solution.
