After looking at the clothes and accessories that were delivered from Milan, Julien pulled Leo to the Gondola and wandered aimlessly on the slightly rainy canal. It had been ten minutes, and his body was a little frozen under the rain. Leo felt embarrassed and reminded him,"Where are we going now?"
He wasn't afraid of the cold, but he would definitely be absent on the day of the press conference if he kept staying on the boat.
"Where should I go?" In fact, he didn't know where to go either.
The things that should be delivered had almost been sent to Eden, and the preparations were almost done. Now, only the modification and decoration of the venue were left. However, these things did not take much of his time, so he had to come out for a walk to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions.
He wasn't young anymore, and he didn't want to be in pain again. What he wanted was forever, and he couldn't afford to lose anymore, so he didn't want to play games anymore. He would rather it be a simple transaction, a simple night of comfort.
However, Leo's presence was too eye-catching, and he would occasionally lose his focus. When he got close to him, it made him struggle, and when he didn't get close to him, it made him feel lonely, so he had to spend money to buy happiness. As long as he could eliminate the loneliness in his heart, he did not care what price he had to pay.
Leo only respected him. If he got the wrong idea, he might have to face the tragedy of the military incident again in the future.
Tragedies should be killed in the cradle, and love that would not last should be killed at the beginning...
"Let's go to the mask shop by the College Bridge, Julian.”Leo suddenly shouted, standing up straight and looking at the alley beside the Grand Canal. "Everyone has already started preparing for the Mask Carnival. Since we're going to the streets, we'll buy masks for the occasion.”
Heavens, it had been a long time since he had participated in the Mask Festival. Before he came to Eiden, he could not afford a mask. But after he entered Eden, although he had enough money to buy hundreds of masks, he did not have the time to go out and play. However, this year was special. He could finally enjoy his first Carnival in Venice.
"If you want a mask, it's easy. There are a lot of masks in Eden.”Julian could not help but laugh, but when he saw his shining eyes, he immediately felt that he was like a child.
That was true. At the age of 21, he should still be a child. He was very impressed that he had not been contaminated.
"That's different!" He looked at him unhappily.
Julian looked at him and thought for a long time, then said to the boatman," Dock at the Academy Bridge."
Since Eiden's number one boss had said so, how could he, as the boss, say that it was not good? Just treat it as a reward from his dereliction of duty! Moreover, his childish smile…was really hard to resist.
"So where do you want to go now?”
Julien asked as he helped Leo put on the mask, pulled the collar of his coat, and pulled him out of the mask shop. He really wanted to know what he was thinking.
Anyway, he was lonely and full of love. It should not be a bad thing to give him a name to spoil him.
"I think we should buy a set of clothes while we're at it. Otherwise, it'll feel a little strange to wear a mask but a proper coat.”Leo looked at the bustling crowd. Everyone's clothes had been carefully designed, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Just you wait. On the day of the press conference, I'll help you design a bunch of costumes for the cross-dressing show and make you wear them on the runway one by one.”Looking at the exquisite white mask on his face, she could vaguely see his blue-green eyes moving, and his charming lips slightly lifted. Julian could not help but feel a little dazzled.
Leo was worthy of being the number one person in Eiden. Not only did he have the angelic handsomeness that made people unable to look away, but he also had a demonic aura.
Sometimes, when she looked at him for too long, even he could not suppress it and almost could not escape his charm.
"If you don't mind me messing up your presentation, I can accept it.”Seeing the black mask on the right side of his face, Leo suddenly looked back and gently touched the cheek that he had just touched, making him feel a little dizzy.
Sigh, it seemed that he was beyond cure. He was actually secretly happy over such a small matter.
He never dreamed that he would one day fall in love with a man…fall in love with him?
Leo's eyes widened as he stared at Julian, who was beside him, as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong?" As if he felt Leo's strange and burning gaze, he couldn't help but look sideways at him.
" I…" He turned his eyes away as if he was afraid of nothing. He deliberately quickened his pace and felt an inexplicable heat on his face.
Damn it! The weather was so cold, but why was his face so hot?
Emotions? Was this the feeling of being in love? He was shocked speechless by his sudden thought. He wanted to deny such a terrifying thought, but he could not find a reasonable excuse to convince him that this thought was just a moment of confusion.
However, it was actually quite appropriate to explain his feelings as emotional.
"Leo, are you going to St. Mark's Square?”
Julien chased after him, weaving through the maze of stairs and bridges, but could not guess why he had suddenly changed his attitude.
"Uh…yeah!" He replied awkwardly, but he did not dare to turn around.
How could he turn back? Once he turned around, he would definitely notice his abnormality. However, he couldn't possibly keep his back facing him, right? Even a fool would be able to see through this method if it was used for too long.
However, he still could not control his heartbeat. He could not stand the shock brought by the thought that had just appeared.
But then again, he didn't know if he had really fallen in love with him. After all, he had never fallen in love with anyone, let alone dated. Of course, he didn't know what it felt like to fall in love.
However, if this feeling was put into the formula of love, perhaps he really did fall in love because he had never felt this way towards anyone, nor had he ever been attached to anyone, nor had he ever cared about anyone so much.
He suddenly understood why he had been so sarcastic when he saw other men lying on Julian's bed.
It was just a feint to entertain noble ladies and noble ladies in Eden. It was part of his job. There was no love at all. However, from the way they looked at him, he could guess that they must have been bewitched by him and were willing to be captured by him.
Then what kind of look did he use to look at Julian?
Leo suddenly stopped at the thought of this. Julien, who was following behind him, almost bumped into him.
"What are you thinking, kid? One moment, he walked quickly, and the next moment, he stopped.”Julian couldn't help but sigh. He flashed to his side and looked at his absent-minded eyes. "Leo?"
"Huh?"
He seemed to have been jolted awake, his eyes wide open.
When did he walk up to him? Leo dodged his gaze in a panic, but he tried to calm himself down. However, the more he regulated his breathing, the more he found that his heartbeat was completely out of control. This was the first time he felt so nervous that all his pores opened up.
"Leo?" Julian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled seductively. "I don't care what you're thinking right now, but I really want to find a place to rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Venice that I haven't seen for many years.”
How could he not understand what this kid was thinking?
At his age, it would be ridiculous if he still pretended to be ignorant. But so what if he knew? If Leo didn't mention it, this matter would come to an end.
"I understand." He responded in a panic and walked forward, but he found that his face was too hot.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask. Otherwise, if Julian asked, how would he answer him? Even he himself did not quite understand what this feeling was. How was he supposed to answer?
Julian didn't say a word and just let him lead them along the maze-like small streets from March 22nd Street to St. Mark's Square.
The crowds and tourists along the way almost filled the streets, alleys, and canals of Venice. They could only move inch by inch in the crowd.
The mind was divided into two extremes. It was not between what could and could not, but between what should and should not…
Walking into the Florian Café on the first floor of the new administrative building on the south side of St. Mark's Square, it was as if time and space had crossed and entered the eighteenth century, the decadent and debauched Venice. Men and women dressed in medieval Baroque costumes could be seen everywhere. The various masks on people's faces made people fully feel the profusion of the Carnival.
In the small private room at the innermost part of the cafe, one could see through the carved glass window that the crowd was gathering in the square covered in mist, ignoring the coldness of the fog and rain.
"God, I didn't expect this year's Carnival to be so scary.”
"This used to be the palace."
"Is that so?" Leo was excited, and his blue-green eyes shone brightly.
"You're from Venice, don't you know the basics?”If even an outsider like him knew, how could he not know?
"As I said, I had been staying in Lido Island. Even after I stayed in Eden, the annual Carnival was my busiest time. I didn't have the chance to participate in the Carnival at the square.”His eyes were still fixed on the square, as if there was something outside that attracted him.
However, only he knew that once his excitement subsided, it would remind him of the fact that their bodies were almost pressed together along the way, and that almost made him lose control.
What he lost control of was not only his heartbeat, but also…
"Is that so? Who asked you to be the number one in Eden?”Julian couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I can only blame the mirror. Who wants the mirror to look at me so handsome that those noble ladies can't bear to part with me?”He couldn't help but sigh. He felt extremely wronged, but there was still a hint of arrogance on his face.
"Not only that, right? I heard from Vesla that there are quite a number of male customers who are quite interested in you, and they even frequently signal to you.”
At some point, Julian was already beside him. When he felt an unusual aura flowing in his ears, he turned his head and saw Julian. He was very close and very ambiguous...
" I'm not interested..." He was done for. He still couldn't change his habit. His palms were sweating, and his tongue seemed to be knotted. "Just dealing with those jackal-like women is already very tiring for me.”
He really wasn't interested, but such a rejection sounded like a lie. If it wasn't a lie, why would he feel so guilty? Since he felt guilty, didn't that mean it was a lie? How could it be a lie? He was really not interested, at least not before he met Julian.
He lowered his head in defeat, not daring to admit that when the two of them were stuck together in the crowded street, several beautiful images that even he could not believe flashed through his mind.
Oh, God! He was wrong. Please forgive him for having such filthy thoughts.
"Is that so? From this, it can be seen that your kung fu is still not enough.”Julian, who was wearing a black mask on one side, smiled charmingly.
"Huh?" He had an ominous feeling. The cold air suddenly rushed up from his back to his head, making him numb.
"I think you need more training."
"Training again?" Which aspect?
" What are you doing?" he growled, his big hand stopping Julian's absurd actions. His heartbeat was so irregular that he almost fainted.
"Training." Julian whispered into his ear, his long fingers moving. "Don't look at me. If you keep looking at me like this, I won't be able to control my emotions. Good boy, turn your face away, or the people in the shop will notice our abnormality.”
Leo stiffly shifted his gaze to the foggy square, his breathing becoming more and more chaotic. "Can we stop this ridiculous training? Someone will find out."
"Are you shy?" He did not think so.
"How is that possible?" He muttered in a broken voice.
Being naked was nothing to him. No matter how licentious he was in bed, it was common in Venice, a city that was full of debauchery and debauchery. What was there to be shy about? However, none of this was true in front of Julian…
The strange feeling of numbness kept growing in his body, but he couldn't stop it. The voice of morality wanted him to struggle, but he was willing to succumb to the temptation of the devil.
Venice outside the window was cold and gray. Although the square was dotted with a few bright colors, it could not bring him away from the coffee shop in the chaotic space and time. Julian fiddled with the desire that he could not suppress even if he tried his best. In the dark corner, in the blind corner that others could not see, the licentious desire of human nature burst out.
He was like a bomb on the verge of exploding. His big hands were leading the seductive wind and fiddling with his hot fuse…Seeing the spreading flames mixed with the ecstasy of numbness, his eyes became even more blurred and his slightly distorted handsome face became even more terrifying.
"Julian, that's enough!" He almost begged and let out intoxicating ravings, his body almost leaning on Julian.
"From this, it can be seen that you don't have enough patience.”Julian's low and gentle voice had an undetectable suppression.
"Damn it, it's not like that!"
Leo cursed and narrowed his bewitching eyes in anger. The truth was not like that at all. It was because the other party was him that he…Oh my god! He never dreamed that things would turn out like this. He did not expect Julian to treat him like this. Did he treat him as a male prostitute?
But his teasing was so magical that he could hardly control himself.
"So what?" His voice was like velvet and a little hoarse, like the murmur of a demon.
" You... uh..." The hand on the windowsill immediately covered her eyes.
Damn it, he couldn't be thinking of dismembering him, right? He should have told him to stop, but because he was the boss and because of the desire in his heart, he couldn't say it.
"Are you trying to seduce me now?" Julian breathed heavily beside his ear, half teasing, half unable to control himself, he kissed his earlobe, licked it with his wet tongue, and bit it with his teeth.
"You!"
The heavenly lightning triggered the earth fire. The moment the flames intersected, the flames soared and the electric current was released...
Leo narrowed his eyes in embarrassment, unable to find a reasonable explanation to cover up his loss of composure. He was so embarrassed that he could not raise his head.
He could not resist him at all, and even…he was addicted to this bone-corroding numbness, as if all the blood in his body had been sucked away in an instant and then returned to his own body bit by bit. It was a pleasure he had never experienced before, an indescribable pleasure.
"It still needs to be strengthened." This was Julian's final conclusion.
"What?" Leo looked back at him in disbelief. He wanted to tear his damn face apart to vent his hatred. " Don't tell me you think I'm…a prostitute?" He couldn't ask this question, and he didn't think he was.
"As what?" Julian raised his eyebrows and smiled. For the first time, his smile reached the bottom of his eyes.
The cute little cheetah was more attractive to him when it was angry than his charming smile. He was a completely different kind of demonic charm from Bing Hua.
A soldier? Suddenly, he realized that this name was a little distant. It seemed that he hadn't thought of this person for a long time. In Eden, he was busy persuading himself not to be attracted to Leo, busy with fashion shows, busy with absurd ecstasy nights, so busy that he was dizzy. It really made him slowly forget the pain in his heart.
Based on the situation, perhaps this pain would pass very quickly.
Then what should he do with Leo? He was grateful for his existence, which allowed him to recover so quickly. However, although teasing him was fun, once he was aroused, it would not be fun.
His wounds were about to heal. If he was injured again, it was hard to guarantee that he would be able to find another person to heal his wounds. If he could maintain a relationship with Leo, as long as he did not play with fire, there would be no harm.
"Male prostitute!" Leo gritted his teeth and said angrily. For the first time, he clearly felt scorned.
Was he toying with him? Why? Why did he do that?
"Aren't you?" Looking at the burning flames on his handsome face, Julian smiled even more seductively.
What a distinct passion. The biggest difference between Leo and Bing Bing was that Bing Bing did not have the same intoxicating enthusiasm as Leo. He was like the dazzling sun in Venice in midsummer, like a cheetah running on the grassland, dazzling and fascinating.
"Bastard!"
After saying this in anger, Leo quickly got ready and rushed out like a whirlwind with a painful heart. He passed through layers of human walls and headed straight for the San Marco Bay at the entrance of San Marco Square.
He had had enough, he had really had enough!
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life, and no one would tell him such a cruel truth!! It was a fact that he had always been unwilling to admit!
That's right, public relations was just a nice term. To put it bluntly, he was just a gigolo who specialized in serving women. How could he not know that he was a gigolo who lived off the tips provided by women? It was just that everyone held him up high, and he was used to using this attitude to let others serve him. Instead, it made him forget all of this, forget that he was just a lowly gigolo.
"Leo!"
A moment later, Julian caught up with him and stopped him from stepping on the gondola.
"So annoying!" He roared angrily and wanted to push him away, but he did not expect his strength to be so strong. It was as if he had become another part of his arm and could not be shaken off. "I'm tired. I want to go back to Eden. Please let go of my hand!”
"I was just joking. Why are you so angry?”His strong hands refused to let go.
"I don't think that's a joke!"
He pushed hard, but Julian insisted on not letting go. The two of them were in a stalemate, and they accidentally fell into the curved shore...
