Out of a necessary precaution, Charles carefully roamed around for a while on his way back to the city before rushing home, and by the time he got home it was past nine o'clock in the evening. In order not to disturb the family, he walked lightly to the study.

When he came to the door of the study, he was stunned, and the faint light in the crack of the door told him the fact that there were still people inside.

Isn't it ...... again?

At the thought of this, Charles stopped his movements, and then planned to turn back to his room. Save your sister from catching a cold again.

However, as if footsteps were heard, the door suddenly opened. As Charles had guessed, Fran was inside.

Seeing that it was indeed her brother, Fran's eyes flashed with joy, and then she looked at her brother with a rather strange look.

What should I say?

Embarrassment, Charles smiled reluctantly.

"You're busy, good night." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Fran grabbed her brother's hand and silently motioned for him to come in.

Charles didn't know why, but he obeyed his sister's wishes.

The menorah was placed on the table, and Charles's latest manuscript was unexpectedly spread out next to the menorah, and after reaching an agreement with Charles during his illness, perhaps he disdained to cover it up any longer, or perhaps because he felt that the jar was broken, Fran's review behavior was much bolder, and he often discussed the plot of the book directly with Charles, and suddenly there was a sharp critic, which made Charles feel very uncomfortable at times.

Fran took Charles' hand with her right hand, then placed her left hand on the manuscript, her slender white fingers slowly sliding over the paper.

"There's a problem with this paragraph, right?"

"Huh?"

"Girls who are too obsessed with their appearance will not encounter too many difficulties at the beginning of their accession to the WTO, and everyone will greet them with a smile, so that none of their talents can be brought into play. The social world's devotion to them corrupts their minds, causing them to waste their natural wisdom and indulge in simple and easy benefits. Eventually, they'll have to pay for what they're good at......" she read softly as she pointed her finger.

With these movements, her blonde hair was constantly pounding against the desk.

"What's going on with this paragraph?" Charles don't know why.

"Sounds like you're saying that girls can't be smart if they're good-looking!" Fran glared at her brother.

"No, that's not what I meant. I'm just saying that many beautiful girls will slowly forget that they still have wisdom because they are too easy to gain the favor and help of others. I'm very sad about this. Charles looked at his sister with a smile, "I'm not saying that there is no such thing as a girl who combines beauty and intelligence, like my sister ......."

"That's pretty much it." Fran was overjoyed by her brother's compliment and smiled from ear to ear.

Seeing his sister being so happy by herself, Charles couldn't help but smile and wiped her hair.

After laughing for a while, Fran put away her smile again, looking a little worried.

"Matilda still hasn't returned."

"She still hasn't come back."

"As expected, she did such a big thing, and the family probably wouldn't forgive her anytime soon......" Charles replied casually.

Fran shifted her gaze from the manuscript to Charles' face.

"Sir, you must have a way to get Matilda back, right?"

"I'm afraid I can't." Charles replied immediately. "It's up to her."

"When will she finally convince her parents?" Fran was a little anxious.

"Although I don't have a lot of contacts, from what I know about her, since she can make such a choice, it means that she must be a little sure, so I think it won't be long before she will come back to you."

"I hope so." Fran nodded slightly.

Then her expression became a little strange again.

"'With what I know about her'?" Fran repeated Charles's words meaninglessly. "Do you know her well?"

"I don't know very well," Charles replied truthfully, "but I do think she's pretty good." ”

"Really?" The look in Fran's eyes became more complicated. "Matilda is more beautiful and intelligent than me...... And courage...... I'm not as good as her. ”

"What's wrong? Don't say that. Charles felt as if Fran had suddenly changed into a different person.

"Matilda is so good, if you like her, then it's understandable......" It was obviously an ordinary sentence, but there was a snarky in my sister's words.

Charles laughed out loud. "Where did you think of it? I just have a little admiration for her, I think this kind of person can be friends well, and it's too exaggerated to like something......"

"Really? Do you really think so? Fran's eyes flickered.

"Of course it is." Charles was a little strange about his sister's solemnity, but he answered truthfully.

"Then Matilda is really a pity, I must talk to her when she comes back."

Having said that, Charles always felt that his sister's words revealed a sense of lightness, maybe it was an illusion.

Having said this, Charles felt a feeling of fatigue, and he took out his pocket watch to see that it was almost ten o'clock. "Ah, it's so late, huh? You should rest early...... I'm going to the studio tomorrow. ”

"By the way, there's one more great thing I forgot to tell you!" My sister seemed to remember something, and suddenly smiled and said to my brother.

"What's good?" Charles came interested.

"The teacher is going to hold an art exhibition after a while, and he decided to hold a small art exhibition for students by the way.

With a happy face, the head raised high had already told Charles the answer, but in order to cooperate with his sister, Charles still deliberately asked. "Oh? Which student is so good? ”

"Do you need to say it? Of course it's me! Fran looked proudly.

Charles exclaimed deliberately. "Ahh That's really admirable, my sister is so good! ”

"Of course!"

"I'll definitely go and see it then." Charles made assurances.

"Go and feel my amazing talent!" Fran was not ashamed.

"Hmm!" Charles patted Fran on the head again.

Fran closed her eyes and enjoyed her brother's caresses.

It was a long time before she spoke again.

"Brother."

"Huh?"

"The teacher said that with my talent, I will definitely be able to become famous with painting in the future, and even become a painter as good as him."

"I have no doubt about it." Charles replied firmly.

"So, in the future, not only can you subsidize your family by writing books, but I can also earn money by painting for others, and I will definitely be able to earn a lot of money!" Fran clenched her fists.

The abrupt change in conversation left Charles at a loss as to how to answer.

"Oh, that's great!" He replied vaguely.

"So, when the time comes, we can live well, and we can have whatever we want, right?"

"Even now, if you want something, I can find a way to get it for you."

Fran closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"So, soon, we can do nothing else and live happily together, right?"

Just when Charles wanted to answer "definitely", everything that had happened today suddenly flashed through his mind. Unknown dangers, lurking undercurrents, an obscure but certainly blood-and-fire future. He hesitated.

"Definitely." Zuihou, Charles still gave the same answer.

Fran suddenly lowered her head.

After a while, she asked in a low voice. "What's going on?"

"Huh?" Charles didn't react.

"What the hell happened to you? What's wrong? Fran continued to ask.

Charles regained his composure.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm late when I come back from a party with friends outside."

"No, there's definitely something going on! Compared to usual, you're a little nervous tonight, and you've been thinking about something. I don't know it's weishenme, but I can tell you're a little nervous! Fran asserted with great certainty.

Then, she looked up at her brother directly, her blue eyes full of determination. The fierceness at this moment actually made Charles a little difficult to control.

Charles felt his sister's stubborn but determined gaze, and his eyes subconsciously moved away, avoiding it.

"What the hell is going on? Is it dangerous? Fran's tone became more hurried.

"Nothing, don't think too much." Charles remained unfazed.

Fran's eyes flashed with anxiety and resentment.

“weishenme…… weishenme！ You too, so is my grandfather, you always treat me like a child and refuse to tell me anything...... I might be able to help you! ”

Charles did not answer.

"You and Grandpa must think you're trying to get rid of my troubles, as long as I keep my eyes closed, right?" A tear suddenly flashed in Fran's eyes, "But is it to love me to let me live alone without knowing it?" Mr? ”

The charr still didn't answer.

"Say it quickly!" Fran suddenly threw herself into Charles's arms and hugged her brother tightly. "Please, sir. Tell me, is there any danger? ”

"Say it quickly!" Fran almost yelled.

There was silence for a long time.

"Don't do that, Fran." Charles replied calmly.

The younger sister looked straight at her brother.

"What I love is the Fran who is not confused by the distractions of the world, the Fran who is complacent about her talent, and the kind-hearted Fran who weeps for the misfortunes of others. So...... So please don't ask about your brother, okay? This is my brother's request, and my brother never asks you for anything, so please remember this request from your brother, okay? ”

Fran didn't answer.

"Nervous? No...... I'm so good. Charles burst out laughing. I'm not so disgusted that I think I can achieve my dreams without getting my hands dirty. ”

"Ideal?"

"Nothing. It's time for you to sleep well. ”

Fran turned her head away. "Okay."

Enough, since what my brother needs is such a Fran, then Fran must be such a Fran.

The girl's teardrops, combined with the dim light, shone with an inexplicable brilliance, which made Charles unable to control himself for a while.

"Fran, my sister, wait! According to my jihua, it won't take three or five years for us to have everything! Charles squeezed his sister's hand, looking forward to the conceited look of a young man, "You will live like a princess more than a princess, you can have whatever you want!" Also, I will prepare a dowry of 100 million for you, even God you deserve it! ”

The hand was suddenly withdrawn, and my sister's face became extremely bad.

"What's wrong, Fran?" Charles was a little baffled by his sister's sudden change.

"Who cares about you!" Fran suddenly stood up, looking down at her brother arrogantly. "I'm back to sleep."

Then she turned and walked out of the study.

In the lingering mint fragrance, Charles sat for a moment, but Zuihou shook his head.

"Girls are so unpredictable."

However, after his sister's trouble, the tension that had vaguely existed in Charles's heart about the revelation of the conspiracy suddenly disappeared mostly.

Anyway, at least it's not that bad right now, is it?

There is also a family, there are ideals, and there is tomorrow.
