——It’s not all because of you that I’m wrong.Roman thought.

He didn't have the guts to say that.Before his already disorganized thoughts could be sorted out, Cesar came uninvited.What should he do?The only thing he thought of was that he must not expose his blasphemous thoughts, otherwise Cesar would definitely turn against him.

He put on a kind smile. "You just love to worry about it, and you've already told me that I'm fine."

Cesar looked at his face, trying to find clues that he was lying.At this time Enya knocked on the car window. "Hi Cesar," she greeted cheerfully.Cesar put aside his doubts about Roman for the time being, and waved to the girl.

Enya lowered the window.Unhappy, Roman asked her to raise the window. "Didn't I tell you not to move?"

"Oh, it's all right, he's Cesar," said the little girl.

"You guys know each other well?"

"Mom often goes shopping with him."

Before Roman questioned his friendship with Alisa, Cesar said first: "Well, we often hang out together without telling you. If you are unhappy, I will accompany you alone next time."

Like that time they went to the history museum?Recalling the harvest and joy of that day, Roman's heart swayed.For a moment, he almost blurted out "then what are we waiting for, we have an appointment tomorrow", but another more gloomy and sad thought soon occupied his mind.It is better for him to keep his distance from Cesar for the time being.Maybe his thoughts about Cesar were just a whim of a whim.Maybe as long as they were separated for a while, he could calm down.

But Cesar did not want to keep his distance at all.Instead, he enjoys talking to Roman in close quarters.He moved closer to Roman step by step, and Roman stepped back until his back hit the car door.Enya stretched her neck, and her round eyes were wide open. If you gave her a bucket of popcorn, she could just stare at it all day long.

"There's something really wrong with you, Roman, did I do something to make you uncomfortable?" Cesar asked cautiously.He raised his eyes to observe Roman's expression, and said apologetically, "You know, I sometimes speak and do things without thinking. No, it should be said that I often do without thinking. If you think my words and deeds offend you, Just say it, otherwise... you know, you can't expect me to reflect on myself, I haven't had that function since the factory."

Now Roman's guilt is even deeper.Not Cesar's fault, not even him at all.But he took all the responsibility on himself.Roman wanted to tell him not to blame himself, but he didn't have the guts to tell the truth.He clung to Cesar's friendship like a greedy Gollum clung to the precious Lord of the Rings, for fear that this hard-won bond would slip through his fingers.

"I said I'm fine." He forced a smile, "I just came to pick up Enya. Alisa has something to do today, and I'm responsible for sending Enya home."

Cesar was skeptical. "Then can I come with you?"

Roman was about to dismiss his unusual proposal, but Cesar said firmly: "You said that there are suspicious people around, and don't forget, you may be attacked yourself. Give me a flower protector Is there a good chance?"

Roman wanted to say "I'm not a flower", but after thinking about it, the so-called "flower" should refer to Enya.How could he take it for granted that Cesar's first protection target is him?It's really strange.

Enya welcomes Cesar on her journey.Compared with August, who loves to grab toys with children, she prefers Cesar, who is good at making her happy.I really don't understand that they are both Roman's friends, why is there such a big difference between them?

Thinking logically (Enya doesn't really know what "logic" is, but thinks it's very cool to use the word), maybe Cesar's maturity is just a temporary illusion, and one day he will reveal his boyish side one side.Boys are all like this, it's just that some people pretend to be mature for a long time, while others pretend to be mature for a short time.August just happened to be the one who was too short to even bother pretending.

***

Roman drove one big and one small back to Alisa's house.She lived in a suburban townhouse with a small backyard that was neglected.From the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, you can see the bushy lawn in between.I don't know how the mother and daughter endured such a messy scene.

Alisa asked Roman to find something to pass the time for Enya, so Roman gave her the ipad.Enya is very satisfied with this toy.When she sank on the sofa and enjoyed "Peppa Pig", Cesar found out the teapot and teacups from Alisa's house with ease, and made a pot of tea by herself.Even Roman didn't know where Alisa hid her precious Ceylon black tea, but Cesar knew it!How many times has he come here to play with his back behind his back?

He imagined the scene of Cesar and Alisa sitting in the living room, talking and laughing, enjoying afternoon tea, and a faint halo of jealousy shrouded his head.Since I have the time to chat and drink tea with that woman, why don't you come to his house?How could his house compare to this dilapidated house with overgrown weeds in the backyard?Or... the problem is not with the house, but with the owner of the house?Is he far inferior to Alyssa as a friend?

"By the way, there is something I've always wanted to ask you." Cesar put the teacup in front of Roman, "After you got drunk that day, how many things do you remember?"

This question is really unexpected!Roman first thought about the deep meaning of Cesar's question.Could it be that he did something he shouldn't have done after being drunk that day, but he didn't remember it himself?What valuables did he break that must be compensated?What secrets did you reveal that shouldn't be revealed?Or... did something unforgivably mean to Cesar?

He imagined the scene where he was drunk and molested Cesar, and couldn't help shivering.

"Can you remind me?"

"For example, have you made an agreement with someone that you will probably regret in the future?"

Roman suddenly turned pale with shock. "Did I propose to someone while I was drunk?"

With a "snap", Cesar accidentally knocked over the teacup, and Alisa's precious porcelain fell to pieces on the ground.

"Why do you think in that direction?!" Cesar shouted while cleaning up the mess in a hurry.

"Judging from your tone, it must be a very important agreement. After much deliberation, I can only propose marriage!" Roman said in a panic, "Who did I propose to? Let me think, the person I met that day was Humphrey , Luke..." He counted with his fingers, "Isn't it possible to propose to Edward?"

Cesar covered his face helplessly.Roman didn't know what he shouldn't have said that night when he was drunk, but what he said just now must not have been said, otherwise Cesar would never have been so desperate.

He wanted to continue asking, but Enya in the living room suddenly let out a heart-piercing scream.

"Roman! Roman!" She dropped the iPad and ran over with a mournful face, hugging the godfather's thigh tightly, "There is a suspicious person outside! It's really suspicious!"

The two men exchanged an alert look and nodded to each other tacitly.Cesar fetches a mop, Roman grabs a feather duster.The two pushed Enya behind, lowered their body weight at the same time, and approached the living room on tiptoe, so as not to startle the enemy.

The cluttered grass in your backyard becomes an excellent cover for a suspicious stalker.They couldn't tell which clump of leaves was hiding the target.Cesar half-kneeled by the glass door, gently holding the door frame.At this time, a holly tree in the yard trembled suddenly.Cesar moved his fingers.Without too many words, Roman understood what he meant—the moment he opened the door, he rushed out and beat up the stalker.

It's now!

Cesar flung the door open.Roman jumped into the yard like an arrow from the string, held up the feather duster, and slashed at the man hiding behind the holly tree with a "Slash from the Sky".

Boom!The feather duster was split on some kind of hard metal shell and shattered into two pieces.

Roman was dumbfounded.A man in full armor came out from behind the tree, brushed off chicken feathers and leaves, and strode towards Roman.The black-haired youth threw down the broken weapon and assumed a wrestling posture.In the case of losing his weapon, he can only use the trivial things he just learned to fight against this suspicious person!Just hold on for a few seconds, and Cesar will come to the rescue!

... and the Cesars?

Why didn't he come to support after waiting for a long time? !

Roman turned his head and saw Cesar supporting the mop with one hand and covering his belly with the other, laughing so hard that he could hardly breathe.

"Ouch, I almost accidentally injured a friendly army." He said with a smirk.

Roman turned to the armored man in bewilderment.He lifted his visor, revealing the face of a weather-beaten middle-aged man—who else could it be if it wasn't Humphrey, the owner of the whale bone shop?And this armor...yes, it's exactly the one that Roman wore on the mannequin when he first visited the antique shop.

"Why are you?" Roman was surprised.

"It's so hard to find this place!" Humphrey answered irrelevantly.

"What are you doing here?" Roman asked again.

"Oh, it's a long story, can I go in and drink some water? I've been wearing this armor for almost a day, and I'm going to die of exhaustion."

After that, he walked towards the living room on his own, not forgetting to rub his boots on the door mat to avoid leaving muddy footprints on the mahogany floor.Enya hid under the table, glaring at him like a wary bunny.Humphrey looked at her curiously for a while, then turned around and yelled at Cesar and Roman angrily: "Where did you abduct a little girl?! Even if you two can't have children, you can't do such a wicked thing!"

"I still want to ask if you are here to abduct the little girl!" Roman shouted back.And he didn't give birth either!He is a healthy adult man with normal reproductive function, as long as he finds a suitable partner, of course he can give birth!What kind of bullshit is Humphrey talking about!

The three were divided into two camps, each of them believed that the other was a human trafficker trying to abduct and sell children, but none of them thought of consulting the children themselves.

At this time, the doorbell rang.Enya crawled out from under the table with a bored face, and ran to open the door with two short legs.Her charming mother appeared at the door.Enya hugged her mother's leg and refused to let go.

Seeing Alisa, Humphrey felt as if he had seen a savior. "Ms. Alyssa, please call the police quickly, these two dead gays have kidnapped a little girl!"

Alisa was shocked: "My worst fear still happened! Roman finally couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, had a mental breakdown and behaved abnormally? Where is the poor girl?"

"It's on your lap!"

"But this is my daughter!"

"What? You two dead glass, actually abducted Ms. Alyssa's daughter?!...Wait a minute, isn't this Ms. Alyssa's home?"

The other four watched him silently.Humphrey rested his chin in thought for a while, and finally showed an expression of enlightenment.

Then he slowly lowered his helmet to cover his liver-colored face.

***

After some ironic toss, a group of people finally solved their misunderstanding.

"It turned out to be the case after a long time." After listening to everyone's explanation, Alisa rolled her eyes, completely defeated by the IQ of these three people, "Didn't I be called by the TV station to participate in an event today? It's the propaganda campaign that Humphrey organized for the Reenactment Campaign."

Taili heard that Alyssa had dabbled in medieval battles, so he deliberately asked her to be the host of the event, and sent her to contact the organizers first.To be honest, Alisa didn't know anything about those things, and she only mentioned a few things about Roman and Bingjian to her colleagues.I don't know which leader heard that wind is rain, thought she was an expert in this field, and recommended her.For the sake of her job, Alisa had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"I met Ms. Alisa at the promotional meeting, and after chatting for a few words, I found out that we have mutual friends." Humphrey said cheerfully.He has completely forgotten the epic embarrassing scene just now. "So Ms. Alyssa invited me to her house. I turned the wrong direction of the house and walked in through the back door. I'm sorry for scaring you, kid."

Enya accepts his apology gracefully.My mother said that tolerance and forgiveness are the hallmarks of growth.Enya wants to become a mature lady.

But the other two were not so easy to let go of their knots.

"You still said that Enya was kidnapped by us!" Roman said angrily.

"This is the first thought of a normal person! You two don't look like you can give birth to such a cute child!"

After hearing this, Roman decided to forgive him for the time being, because he praised Enya for being cute.Anyone as long as Quan Ya is cute is his friend!

Cesar was not so happy. "Of course I can be born, I'm so handsome." He said confidently.

"Compared to that," Alisa interrupted them, "who can tell me what happened to my teacup?" She pointed to a piece of debris on the ground, her beautiful eyebrows raised high, "This teacup is very expensive! I originally planned to use it only on the day when the queen came to our house! Now, if the queen arrives, she will not even have a cup to drink water! Say, who did it!"

Cesar languished, and buried his proud handsome face into the sofa pillow, lest the furious Alisa beat him into a pig's head.
