Chapter 532 Mary's Thoughts

Going to Antarctica is not a simple matter. It takes time to mobilize resources and find people, but Duanmu Huai is not in a hurry. Anyway, it is not something that can be done in a day or two.

On the contrary, he is in a hurry now...

"Why should I come to see this thing..."

Sitting on the chair in the VIP room of the Lanxin Theater, Duanmu Huai couldn't help yawning when he was bored watching the performance on the stage below.

Opera, drama, Peking opera, these are all things that Duanmu Huai can't appreciate. Listening to the tone of the actors on the stage, he felt a headache.

Fortunately, the drama has come to an end at this moment. Finally, the curtain slowly fell, and cheerful applause rang out in the theater.

Including Lorena and Mary beside him, they were all clapping desperately at this moment.

"Huh... It's finally over."

Duanmu Huai yawned, then sat up and clapped his hands boredly.

"Mr. Duanmu doesn't like this drama?"

Seeing Duanmu Huai's expression, Mary also asked curiously.

"This is a masterpiece adapted by the writer Bram Stoker and performed by Henry Irving!"

"I am a vulgar person who cannot appreciate this."

Duanmu Huai waved his hands helplessly, and sighed secretly when he saw Mary's eyes shining. It seems that Mary is just an ordinary star-chasing girl... There is nothing wrong with it.

"If he had performed a three-court trial of Galileo, I might have watched it. Romeo and Juliet is just like that no matter how it is changed. There is a similar story in my hometown. It is more romantic than this. After death, they both turned into butterflies."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stood up.

"Okay, let's go. The performance is over and we should go home."

Duanmu Huai didn't want to watch this opera, but Lorena was lucky enough to draw the VIP tickets, and there were three tickets. In the spirit of not wasting, Duanmu Huai also called Mary. Unexpectedly, when the young lady heard that she was going to the Lyceum Theater to enjoy the opera performed by the pretty boy named Henry, she was so excited that she was like meeting a fan of Leonardo.

Originally, Duanmu Huai wanted to take the opportunity to be influenced by it and appreciate the elegant art, but the result was...

Forget it, Mr. Mikami is more in line with my taste. Sure enough, the paper man is still more beautiful than Mona Lisa. This is how it will be in this life.

So Duanmu Huai experienced a half-sleep and half-asleep hour or two in the theater, which was almost the most painful memory of his life.

Duanmu Huai also secretly swore that he would never come to appreciate these things again in the future. There is no difference between it and Peking Opera, with babbling and ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, which gives me a headache when I listen to it, and it is full of love-talking and groaning...

It’s not my fault that I can’t watch "Dream of Red Mansions" and can only watch "Romance of the West Chamber".

So Duanmu Huai was bored and tired, while Lorena and Mary were happily talking about opera in front. It seems that there are similar performances in the Holy City, so Lorena is much more accepting of this than Duanmu Huai. Although she doesn't know the leading actor and doesn't have any star halo, she is still very enthusiastic about discussing the plot.

How to say it, girls really like these things about love.

Looking at the two girls who were discussing enthusiastically in front, Duanmu Huai also sighed silently. Only in this aspect, he and others are completely incompatible, whether it is An and Gu Leiya, or Lorena and Mary, he really can't understand the sensibility of women's love.

Arriving at the station, Lorena went to buy a ticket for Mary, while Duanmu Huai and Mary stood aside waiting. At this time, Mary seemed to have come back from the excitement of seeing the big star's performance before, and looked at Duanmu Huai curiously.

"Mr. Duanmu, don't you like this kind of drama very much?"

"Strictly speaking? Yes."

"Hey? Why?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Mary was stunned, and Duanmu Huai glanced at her.

"For you girls, this kind of love that only sees each other must be very romantic. For each other, you can do everything, regardless of death or destruction, and you only want to be with each other, right?"

"Indeed... Isn't it okay?"

"It doesn't matter if you just think about it, but for the judge, this kind of deep love will only bring trouble and trouble."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Think about it, Mary, Romeo was sad about Juliet's death and was even willing to take poison for her, right? So, if a demon appeared in front of the desperate Romeo, saying that as long as Romeo was willing to sign a contract with it and destroy the world, it would resurrect Juliet, then what would Romeo choose?"

"This........."

Hearing this, Mary finally reacted. For Duanmu Huai, this was not just a story.

So, as Duanmu Huai said, what would Romeo choose?

This world prevented his love with Juliet, so if there was really a demon trading with him, would Romeo choose to trade?

Use this world as a bargaining chip to revive your lover?

"All the evils of obsession are caused by obsession. The end of being infatuated is to be used by others and become a pawn in the end."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"So, don't be too desperate in everything, take a step back. If Romeo didn't love Juliet so deeply, then he wouldn't have been so eager to take poison and commit suicide when he saw Juliet fake her death, and it wouldn't have ended up being a tragedy. "

Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai also glanced at Mary.

"You must also remember that not everything in the name of love can be forgiven. Even Romeo and Juliet, if they dare to destroy the world for their own selfishness, I will never show mercy to them. "

"Aha……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's speech, Mary nodded blankly. She always felt that Duanmuhuai meant something when he said this to her, but...does this have anything to do with her?

It's just a drama...

"Ah, it's Mary!"

At this moment, suddenly, two energetic voices came from not far away. Mary turned her head and saw two children running towards her from the other side of the street curiously.

"Long time no see, Mary——!"

While talking, the two children stretched out their hands, as if they wanted Mary to hug them, and Mary subconsciously bent down, and then...she turned around quickly and avoided the two of them. The two children who were avoided by Mary were not depressed, but showed a naughty smile.

"It's obviously Mary, but I didn't expect to be so agile. Are you really the slow Mary?"

"Humph, I'm not the same person I used to be."

Looking at the two children, Mary also showed a proud smile. After all, she also had the confidence to be proud. After being given Spartan training by Lorena, Mary's speed and reaction were much stronger than before. Therefore, she no longer paid attention to the pranks of the two little devils.

"You two are still the same as before. How are you doing lately?"

"Great."

Hearing Mary's question, the boy among them nodded.

"The business is pretty good, and I'm working under a very powerful master. It's very profitable."

"It seems that you are still as capable as ever, so I can rest assured, Kainz, Ellie."

Looking at the boy and girl in front of her, Mary also smiled slightly. These two children were not her younger brothers and sisters, but children wandering on the street. Mary met them because of some things in the past, and later became good friends.

At this moment, the two children also saw Duanmuhuai standing not far away, looking over here, and they immediately hid behind Mary in fear.

"Whoa, Mary, who is he?"

"Ah, he is... Mr. Duanmu. Although he looks fierce, he is actually a good man."

At this moment, Mary also hurriedly introduced the two parties.

"Mr. Duanmuhuai, these two children are Kainz and Aili. They are my friends..."

"That's it."

Duanmuhuai nodded, then he knelt down and looked at the two children.

"Hello, um..."

Halfway through his words, Duanmu Huai paused, then reached into his arms and took out a few banknotes.

"When we first meet, I don't have much gifts for you. Just use these to buy something you like, as a thank you for taking care of Mary."

"Ugh."

After taking the banknotes in Duanmuhuai's hand, the two wanderers' eyes widened in surprise, but soon they took the money and carefully put it in their arms. Then the boy in charge patted his chest with a smile.

"Don't worry, leave it to us, sir, we will never let Mary suffer."

As he spoke, he looked at Mary.

"It's true, Sister Mary, you have become a rich man's lover. In that case, you should have said it earlier."

"Yes, yes, Mary is really outgoing. If you had said it earlier, we would have prepared some gifts."

"Why?"

After hearing what the two little devils said, Mary's face suddenly turned red.

"It's not————!"

However, before she could finish speaking, the two little devils turned around and ran away.

"Ugh..."

Seeing the two imps disappearing into the alley, Mary was speechless for a while. However... Kainz's words gave her a wake-up call.

Does Mr. Duanmu and I have this kind of relationship in the eyes of outsiders?

Thinking of this, Mary glanced at Duanmu Huai quietly. Although she often went out with Duanmu Huai, most people couldn't see him because the latter used that strange ability. So Mary didn't think much about it, but now that she thought about it, a young female student was on the street late at night with a tall man wearing luxurious clothes... It didn't seem like an ordinary relationship that could be explained.

If Ashelica saw it, she would definitely think that Mr. Duanmu was some kind of bad guy.

Thinking of Asherika, Mary also had a headache. During this period, because she often went to see Duanmu Huai, Asher also asked her who she was meeting, what kind of person she was, etc. Although she Every time, we got interrupted and confused, but... well, we probably won't meet each other.

Thinking of this, Mary withdrew her thoughts and looked forward again.

But this time, she felt that her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster.

Maybe he was scared just like before.
