Roses for Rosalind

r22

Baroness Anderson was sitting on the desk by the window, resting her chin with one hand, looking quietly at the pages of the book with downcast eyes.But her reading speed seemed a little too slow, and it took a while to turn a page slowly.

Rosie hasn't been out of the house for several days.

On the pretext that she needed to study the precious book at home, she rejected the invitation letter sent by Romeo, still signed by Kasapa.In order to try to be realistic, she simply did not stop doing two things, and rejected everyone's invitations to go out, including Juliet, and just locked herself in the room to read a book.As for whether to see it or not, only Rosie herself knows.

Rosie scratched her hair and sighed.She had just turned a page in the book when there was a snap, and a sound came from outside the window.She trembled in fright, and dropped the quill in her hand on the table.

Snapped.

Another sound.

Rosie patted her chest to suppress the shock, stood up and opened the thin gauze curtains.A young man with black hair and black eyes was standing under the window sill of her room, looking up at her with a smile.

Rosie looked around, and found two inconspicuous pebbles not far away.Just now it was the young man who threw the stone up and hit the window frame, which made the crackling sound that Rosie heard.

"ciaos, belle." Benvolio greeted her with a smile: "What a coincidence, it must be the arrangement of fate that we will meet again."

...It's not a coincidence at all!You throw stones at my window to attract my attention, I didn't see your coincidence, what a coincidence!And what's on that hand you're sneaking behind your back!Don't think I didn't see it!It must have just been picked from my garden!

Rosie twitched the corners of her mouth, complaining wildly in her heart.

Seeing that the other party has not opened his mouth to speak, he just looked at himself silently.Benvolio "transformed" a bright red rose from behind with a movement that he thought was chic: "Flowers for beauty." He made a "throwing" movement, as if to throw the rose on the window sill: "Please Allow me to dedicate this beautiful flower to you who are equally beautiful."

Just as he was about to throw the flowers up, he stopped suddenly: "Oh, I'm sorry." He said, "Please forgive me for being so impolite. I forgot that throwing things at such a beautiful lady is absolutely unacceptable." Permitted, not even with flowers."

Rosie continued to stare at him in silence.

"Don't you remember me?" Benvolio couldn't help frowning after playing a one-man show for so long without getting any response.He then bent down and bowed, with one hand across his chest, and saluted as a knight to Rosie on the window sill: "Romeo Montague, I am happy to serve you. But this time, please don't forget my name again." You know, to be forgotten by a beauty like you almost breaks my heart."

#You don't know but I know#

#install, continue to install#

#Seeing this product makes my mood more complicated, how can I break it#

"Romeo of the Montague family." Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.There was nothing important to do anyway, and Rosie didn't mind taking a moment to amuse him.Her elbows rested on the guardrail, and her left hand supported her cheek: "Don't you know that it is very impolite to disturb others' reading?"

"That's because you are so beautiful, miss, that you can't control myself just by chance." Benvolio replied fluently: "I beg you to tell me, my dear. Miss. Are you so beautiful today, or every day?"

Italy deserves to be Italy, and there is really nothing to choose about racial talent.Even though she knew clearly that the person in front of her was an accomplice, Rosie couldn't help being praised in her heart: "Your words are really unreasonable. If you are fascinated by the fragrance of roses, you will not reflect on your self-control." It’s too bad, but you still have to blame the roses for being too fragrant?”

"The reason why devils are devils is because they have the power to deceive people." Benvolio quickly responded, "Of course, I'm not saying that you are a devil. It's just that if it's for a beautiful lady like you, go to hell." I would too."

...Look at what you said (*/w*).

"Go to hell? I don't believe it. You're just talking nicely." Rosie said, "I'm afraid none of what you people say is credible."

"How could I be willing to deceive you?" Benvolio stepped forward eagerly: "I am willing to swear by this name!"

...Because this is not your name at all! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

I'm so lucky to know the truth, otherwise I would have been cheated by you! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

How dare you lie to me, bastard! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

"Which name?" Rosie immediately lost the interest to continue acting with him.She straightened up, put her hands on the railing, and asked blankly, "Is it Romeo? Or Benvolio?"

Benvolio: ... ∑(ˉ□ˉ*|||)!!!!

Rosie snorted coldly and looked down at Benvolio: "Why don't you talk?"

"You... how do you know?" Benvolio took a step back and subconsciously swallowed.

"I found out by accident, not long ago." Rosie looked at Benvolio, who had a face of "Fuck, Fuck, I'm done for help", and slowly revealed a sinister smile: "Hey." She said softly : "I know more than that... Do you want to guess?"

In the small church, Father Lawrence had just finished morning prayer today.He walked slowly into the yard, and there were birds singing on the branches.As the breeze blew through the treetops, the priest closed his eyes and quietly accepted the sunshine.

"godfather."

Father Lawrence turned around and smiled kindly at the familiar figure.

"God bless you, my child." Father Lawrence, who was wearing a priest's robe, made the sign of the cross devoutly on his chest.Although his face is no longer young, and the corners of his eyes have traces of time, his eyes are still clear and gentle, full of wisdom and deep meaning: "Let me guess. You got up early in the morning and came here , it must be because of something on your mind? Old people are prone to insomnia because of worrying too much, but young people with strong body and mind should fall asleep soundly as soon as they go to bed. So if you wake up early, if it is not because of some troubles, you must It's because I didn't sleep last night."

"Your second guess is right," answered Romeo, with a smile in his eyes that could not be stopped: "I had a rest sweeter than sleep last night."

"My God, what happened?" asked Father Lawrence in surprise.

Romeo smiled proudly: "My sweetheart rejected my invitation."

"..."

Your crush turned down your invitation?

So what are you still doing here?

This child... Could it be that he is too sad and stupid?Father Lawrence thought pitifully.

"No no, please don't worry." Seeing Father Lawrence's weird expression, Romeo knew that he was thinking of getting off the hook, and he waved his hands again and again: "I know exactly what I'm talking about."

"Then, my dear boy, explain clearly," said Father Laurence, "tell me what you mean honestly, and stop playing charades with me, an old man."

"You don't know her... She must be avoiding me deliberately because she is shy."

At this time, Romeo smiled like a fool, the corners of his lips were raised so high that he couldn't pull it off.

Although this godson is young, he is usually very mature and steady.It was rare to see him act so childishly, and Father Lawrence finally couldn't help laughing. "Really, I'm really happy for you." He smiled and said to Romeo: "So, which lady in Verona is your favorite?"

"Rosalind," Romeo answered.

"...Which Rosalind?" Father Lawrence asked in disbelief.

"There is only one Rosalind in Verona, Rosalind of the Anderson family." Having said that, Romeo paused: "...and also a cousin of the Capulet family."

"St. Francis! Are you serious?" Father Lawrence asked in surprise. He felt that he was more surprised today than in the past year combined.He thought Romeo was joking with him, but he couldn't help but gasped after seeing the extremely serious expression on his godson's face. "Okay, okay..." He murmured, "It seems that you are serious..." He reached out and patted Romeo's arm, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "At least we can be so lucky, you Falling in love with the Capulets' cousin, not the Capulet's only daughter, Juliet, isn't it?"

Romeo just bowed his head and smiled, without speaking.

"But, my dear child, I have to ask you something." Father Lawrence stopped and looked directly into Romeo's eyes: "You can be sure that your affection for that Miss Rosalind is indeed love, but Isn't it just a momentary infatuation? No, don't rush to refute me." He raised his hand and stopped Romeo, who obviously wanted to say something: "Most of the love of young people is just to change their minds, not from the heart. After so many years Come on, I can see it clearly. How many times has your cousin Benvolio declared himself in love? I still have his vowed words in my ears. The next day , his lover changed from Luna to Luna, and from Luna to Rona on the third day! Before I even organized words to comfort him, he was already happy to find a new love! Those The joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the past were all his real emotions, those tears and laughter were also real, but he quickly changed his mind—his feelings were just the momentary confusion of the young man, not real. love."

"I am not like him," said Romeo.

"Of course, of course I know that you and him are two completely different individuals." Father Lawrence said, "But you are still too young after all, and I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference."

"I don't understand, Godfather," said Romeo. "My parents blame me for not being in love, and you blame me for loving Rosaline."

"No, no, I'm not saying you shouldn't be in love, I just hope you don't become crazy because of love."

"I know you mean well," said Romeo, "but give me time—time will tell, I believe."

Lawrence reached out and patted his shoulder vigorously, sighing.No more talking.

After finishing talking with Father Lawrence, Romeo went to the market again, replenished some materials needed for the sculpture, and soon returned to the Montague mansion.It wasn't impossible to finish that sculpture before Harvest, but there was a slight time crunch, so he had to hurry.

He was in a good mood, humming a song while walking towards the studio at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and stopped abruptly when he saw the unidentified object at the door of the room.

——Benvolio pulled his hair and squatted in front of the door without any image.

"Benvolio?" Romeo raised his eyebrows: "If my memory is correct, I remember that we have graduated from public school?"

The lump moved slightly.

"So there will be no exam tomorrow, so what are you doing now?"

"...Romeo!" Benvolio raised his head abruptly, with panic on his face as if the end of the world was about to come: "I tell you! You've got a big deal! You've got a big deal!"
