"What happened between you and Leo?”Bing Hua puffed out a mouthful of smoke and sat lazily on the sofa.
"I don't understand." Julian, who was busy modifying his clothes in a corner of the hall, did not even look up as he distributed the fabric on the three-dimensional cutting.
"It's too fake to continue pretending." Pfft, Leo had been staring at him for three consecutive days. If his burning gaze had turned into a laser, he would have died at least a hundred times. Under such circumstances, if he still couldn't figure out the situation, wouldn't he be too slow?
He was not a slow person, and Julian was even less so, so it was impossible for him not to notice this.
However, he ignored it. Therefore, there was an 80% chance that something was wrong. However, this was also the first time he had felt such terrible hatred. It allowed him to see the enthusiasm of Italian men.
"It's not as complicated as you think. You can stop imagining.”Julian still ignored him, his heart calm like never before. He never thought that one day they would be able to get along in this way. Perhaps it was Leo's credit.
"Is that so? That was not what I saw that day.”He put out the cigarette and swayed to his side.
"That was just a game. I just wanted him to stay away from me.”It was a very simple reason. He hoped Leo could understand it. If he couldn't, then forget it.
Bing Hua raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "I thought you could forget about me and successfully find the next man who could move your heart.”It would be a pity if he was wrong.
"I don't need to forget you. You're my friend. Why should I forget you?”He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him. There was no longer the pain and confusion in his eyes. "I told you, we will always be friends.”
He was glad that he hadn't touched the soldier, so he could let go. It was also because of this that he insisted on not touching Leo. Men were not just visual animals. Men were more likely to develop feelings for each other because of the combination of their bodies. Moreover, Leo was a rare handsome man. If he were to let go after touching him, he might be hurt even more.
"That's true." Bing Hui laughed and asked,""But I think Leo is good. It's a pity that you don't like him. You…really don't like him?" To put it bluntly, he still did not believe his words.
"He's just the main show of my press conference this time.”
If it was just love, then it would be better. What he was afraid of was the endless hell.
"In my opinion, Alyssa doesn't need to ask me for help. Leo didn't need any acting skills. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was interested in you.”If patting left and knocking right could get some insider information, then there was nothing bad about it.
"Is that so? That's his freedom. I don't care.”His eyes narrowed as he busied himself with the half-finished product that was about to be completed. He did not want to mention this topic at all. The press conference was imminent, and he was in no mood to think about anything else.
"What a ruthless heart."
"You're too polite. I learned it from you.”Julian smiled calmly, his dark green eyes still examining the semi-finished product in his hand.
"Are you hinting at something?”Bing Hui put a hand on his shoulder. "We are friends, right?"
"That's right. We're best friends. Best friends for life.”This was his promise, a promise that he would definitely keep.
"That's enough. I won't disturb you anymore.”Bing Hui patted his shoulder and whispered into his ear,""However, I advise you to stop lying through your teeth. I will not sympathize with you if you can break a flower, but if you can't, you must break it.”
"I already said that I won't have any improper thoughts about you. Don't you believe me?”Julian looked at him angrily and sighed. If she insisted that he find a companion, wouldn't she still doubt his promise?
" It's not that I don't believe you, but it's because Alyssa is about to arrive in Venice. If you don't deal with it quickly, if the fake show turns out to be true and Alyssa really marries you..." No one would want things to turn out like that, but Julian's unexpected negativity was unsettling.
"That's not a bad thing." At least, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"You…"
"Bing Huo, what are you doing downstairs? Hurry up and come up!"
Su Wu's fierce cry suddenly came from upstairs, and even the canal outside the gorgeous gate was shocked.
"Hurry up and go up. Your Madam is about to lose her temper. If you don't hurry up and accompany her, she might think that something unspeakable has happened between us.”Julian laughed at himself, but the sarcasm on his handsome face was no longer as deep as before.
"Think about it yourself. I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore.”Bing Hui patted his shoulder, then went up the spiral staircase to the second floor and quickly disappeared from his sight.
Julian looked up at Bing Hui's back, his unfathomable handsome face making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Since you're already getting married, why are you still staring at him?”Leo leaned against the side of the exquisitely carved jade corridor, his blue-green eyes staring at him with an incomprehensible coldness. He despised him from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't understand what you mean." Even though he knew Leo was standing in front of him, he didn't even look up at him and buried himself in his work.
"How long are you going to run away?”He roared furiously. "Are you planning to get married because Bing Huo is married? The reason for your marriage is so weak. This ridiculous marriage is blasphemy against God!”Damn it, how long was he going to be kept in the dark? If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the soldier in Venice, he wouldn't have known that this press conference was also Julian's wedding ceremony.
Simply detestable! If he really wanted to get married and spend the rest of his life with a woman, why would he go to Eden every night? Could it be that she was preparing for her wedding?
What did he take marriage for?
"Blasphemy against God?" Was his marriage to a woman blasphemous to God?
"You clearly don't like women. Why did you marry a woman?”Why was she still teasing him? Could it be that all of this was just a game to him?
The most infuriating thing was that he didn't know what a despicable man he was until now.
"This is none of your business!" Julian couldn't help but get angry. He stared at him with his dark green eyes, and his heart that had finally calmed down became noisy again.
"It's none of my business, but if I were you, I would snatch the weapon. No matter what method I use, as long as I can achieve my goal!”He couldn't stand his cowardice. He couldn't stand the fact that he was like a fool, giving away the happiness that was within reach to others. "Since you love him, you should work hard to get him. What's the point of giving him up to someone else?”
He was furious. If she really loved someone, how could she retreat like him? If it was true love, she should have wanted to plunder him by hook or by crook. How could she push him to another woman? Was he not jealous at all? If it wasn't jealousy, how could it be love?
Over the past few days, just looking at Bing Hui by Julian's side had almost corroded him by the sourness in his body. Not to mention watching Julian get married, and he was even the laughable main show at his wedding.
"Do you even understand love? Do you only know how to plunder? Don't you care if the other party loves you or not?”Julian pushed the mannequin away and said angrily,""Bing Huo doesn't love me, just like how I will never fall in love with a woman. How can I force him? Moreover, I'm not you. I only know how to plunder, just like a wild beast that does whatever it takes! I don't think the same as you. As long as Bing Yan is happy, I think it's worth it. If that's the life he wants, I'll give him my blessings.”
Loving someone was not so superficial, not just about plundering. To put it bluntly, Leo was just a predatory attitude towards him. It was his unique self-esteem that was causing trouble. After what happened to Bing Huo, he would not be so stupid as to mistake other people's misconceptions for his love.
"So you're saying that I should also wish you happiness if that's the marriage you want?”Leo raised his eyebrows, his eyes like the winter Adelaide.
The problem was that a soldier could fall in love with a woman, but Julian could never fall in love with a woman in his life. How could he bless him? He could not bless him, nor did he know how to abduct him. In Julian's eyes, he was like a young child, a victim in a game.
"That is your freedom. No matter what you do or what you think about something, it is all your freedom.”Julian ignored the implication in his words. "And how I respond is also my freedom.”
"If that's the case, then why did you tease me before?”Damn it! He knew that this excuse was unreasonable, but he was unable to suppress the unbearable pain. It was fine to say that he was like a stubborn young boy. Anyway, he had already done the most embarrassing thing, so it did not matter if he was a little more embarrassed.
"To put it bluntly, it's just a mutual agreement. Don't tell me you don't know the rules of Eden?”Julian smiled charmingly.
"In your heart, is my existence like this?”
Was it because he didn't trust his feelings, or did he look down on his status?
Julian knew how to hurt people. He had never been insulted like this before.
"My thoughts are not important. What's important is the press conference that will be held in two days. I hope you can perform perfectly for me.”Julian refused to answer any more ambiguous questions. "As for the clothes that I haven't tried on yet, I'll make a final decision with you tomorrow night.”
Pulling his hand away before he fell too deeply in love could minimize the damage, but who knew when love would come to his life? Love was not something that could be withdrawn just because she wanted to. The only thing he could do was to put some distance between them.
" You…" Leo widened his eyes in disbelief.
Was this his answer? He didn't care about his feelings at all. Was this how he loved someone?
"If it's possible, I hope you can stop being overly enthusiastic for the next two days, so as not to leave marks on your body that shouldn't be left behind.”Julian pulled up the mannequin on the ground and continued to make the final touches on it, ignoring Leo's undisguised anger.
Leo wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he heard footsteps behind him.
"Julian, we're here."
"Alyssa, Miller, you're finally here.”Julian ignored Leo's stunned expression and walked past him, hugging the two of them, completely ignoring his existence.
Leo clenched his fists, his blue-green eyes glowing with anger. It was hard to explain how she had felt when she had watched them get along harmoniously these past few days. She could not get over the feeling of being ignored…How long had it been since she had been so embarrassed and left out by someone?
He didn't believe that he couldn't feel his feelings at all, yet he chose to ignore them.
Unfortunately, he wasn't him. He couldn't give him his blessings like he had given to Bing Sha. His greatest forbearance was to help him complete the press conference.
"I'm going back to Eden." Leo walked to Julien's side and said softly, then quickly left.
He didn't care what he thought of him. Anyway, he couldn't stay in this place anymore.
"Then remember to wait for me in my room tomorrow night. I want you to try on the clothes again.”Julian's cold voice was a serious order.
Leo nodded and left in the Gondola while it was still early.
"Who is he?" Miller stared at Julian oddly.
"The main show of the press conference." He pulled his gaze back from the end of the corridor and easily hid the loneliness in his heart.
Yes, he was just a model that he wanted to recruit. That should be all.
The night shrouded the entire Venice, and the ambiguous atmosphere no longer permeated Eden, because the annual Carnival was about to end, and JJ was about to hold the autumn and winter fashion show in Eden.
Eden, which had always been filled with an intoxicating smell, had lit up hundreds of rooms at the boss's request. In the hall of the press conference, there were still models doing their final rehearsals on the circular and straight intersecting runway. Tomorrow's bride, Alyssa, was supervising the runway. She watched everyone's condition from the side and estimated the progress of tomorrow's entrance. Even Bing and Su Wu were helping the models try on each piece of clothing.
However, there was no sign of Julio and Leo. Vesla, the person in charge of Eden, had to walk around the entire building and finally found Leo in a small room next to the runway.
"Leo, why are you here?”Vesla rushed to Leo's side and tried to pull him up from the soft sofa. "Everyone is busy outside, and you're actually hiding here drinking?”
Leo allowed him to pick him up, but his eyes just stared at him blankly.
"It's not my turn to fight anyway." He lay lazily in his arms and laughed softly.
"What do you mean by it's not your turn to play?”Vesla could not help but complain, but when he smelled the alcohol on Leo, he could only put him down helplessly. "What are you hiding here for? I've never seen you drink like this. What's wrong with you?”Alas, it seemed that even if he was escorted outside, it would not help. He could barely stand up. How was he going to rehearse on the runway?
"Anyway, the clothes I'm going to wear tomorrow haven't even come out of the oven yet, and I don't have any clothes to change into. Why would I go to the runway and ask for trouble?”He was still smiling, his bewitching handsome face filled with an intoxicating smile, and his soulless charming eyes were even more seductive.
He had no desire or interest to step onto the runway. His heart was broken. How could he have the energy to step onto the beautiful runway?
Stepping onto the stage was the dream he wanted to achieve the most in his life, but it was also the nightmare he did not want to face the most. The heavens were really too good to him. They allowed him to fulfill his wish, but at the same time, they shattered his other dream and completely piled him into hell.
Why did the hateful Julian hurt him like this? If he was really not interested in him, he should not have teased him in every way from the beginning and should not have let him fall in love unknowingly. Perhaps at the beginning, it was really reverence, but as time passed, no one could predict when love would come.
If he could not love him, if he knew how painful it would be to fall in love with someone, he would rather not understand love for the rest of his life. He would rather live alone... even if it was just to roll around in desire for the rest of his life.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Julian hasn't sent the clothes over yet, you still have to walk on the runway first. After all, you've never been on the runway before. It's good to practice!”Vesla could not understand why he was not excited at all. Wasn't this his wish? Logically speaking, she should be happier, or at least a little more excited, right? "Hey, or did something happen between you and Julian? Ever since you came back from staying at his house for a few days, I've found that you've become more and more strange.”
He didn't want to make any strange guesses, but…things were unpredictable.
"What can happen?" Leo raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly, his eyes filled with a desolation that only he could understand. "Anyway, everything was just my wishful thinking. It was all my own problem. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for falling in love with him. But how could I fall in love with him? I don't know either. Who knows when love will come? It's unknown, isn't it?”He mumbled foolishly with laughter.
Then, he slowly stood up, walked past the shocked Vesla, and walked straight out of the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Vesla snapped back to his senses and hurriedly followed behind him.
Heavens, how did things turn out like this? He had previously told Julian not to attack Leo, but in the end, it was Leo who attacked him…It was really unpredictable.
"I want to get some air. It's too stuffy inside.”He staggered out of the house and sat down on the steps in front of the door. His blurred eyes stared at the surface of the water that was illuminated by Eden. He smiled strangely in the bone-chilling cold wind.
He wasn't happy at all, but he couldn't control the tense nerves on his face. He just kept smiling, and he didn't even know what he was laughing about.
"It's cold. I think you should put on some clothes!”Vesla kindly wanted to put the coat on him.
The coat had just covered him, but it slipped to the ground because he suddenly stood up.
"There's a boat!" Was it him? He said that he would bring the clothes he would wear tomorrow.
"Leo, go inside. The person on the boat doesn't seem to be Julian.”Vesla narrowed his eyes and used the light to distinguish the approaching ship.
" But..." Leo did not give up. He did not realize it until the boat was less than ten feet away from him. "It's Fodoru!" Damn it, how could it be him?
"Go in, Leo, quickly go in!”Vesla roared and quickly grabbed him.
Damn it, Fodoru had come to Eden to make trouble more than once. Fortunately, Leo was staying with Julian, so he escaped. But he didn't expect Foldoru to come to Eden today, which meant…it was definitely not a good thing.
"Don't move!"
Standing on the Gondola, Fodoru took out his pistol, and a few people behind him had already jumped off the boat to detain Leo.
Vesla stared at Frodoru, cursing in his heart.
Damn it…#
