In the middle of summer in July, the old city is once again blessed with a sunny summer day.

It was the hottest and longest day of the year, and the blazing light flowed through the room without any emotion, illuminating the whole place.

The Marquis de Treville's palace was not spared, as the sunlight penetrated mercilessly through the cracks between the windows, casting mottled shadows on the walls, and bringing in the summer heat.

It is a small room, which is used by the owner as a bedroom and a study. On the far side of the room was a walnut bed with thick sheets, not luxurious, but comfortable. The walls are pasted with not too dazzling gray painted gold paper, and the closets and bookshelves are placed along the walls, and there are many books on the shelves, many of which are also bookmarked inside, silently revealing the owner's rather studious side......

Next to the bookshelf, near the door, is a desk. There were many drawers in the heavy desk, and on top of it was a magnetic vase painted on white and gold, and a royal blue basin with a few apples in it. A young man, sitting at his desk, was reading a book while writing and drawing with a pen and making annotations.

The summer weather was hot and humid, and despite the wide open windows and the constant wind blowing in, he had to unbutton the collar and cuffs of his shirt to feel better.

It wasn't until the sound of the stone falling on the window was heard that the silence was broken.

Ay...... It's endless.

When the boy who had been sitting next to the desk, he couldn't help but sigh.

He reluctantly put down the book in his hand. Then walked to the window, just down the street. Standing stood a young girl wearing a wide-brimmed hat adorned with velvet floral ornaments, and a fluffy silk skirt. A large patch of skin was exposed on the chest, almost dazzling in the sun.

Truly...... It's so dazzling......

"What the hell do you want to do? How do you do it all the time! If you want to find me, just come to my house! Although the young man seemed displeased, he was still instinctively driven to subconsciously set his eyes on the large white greasy.

The harsh words did not touch the girl in any way, and she still looked at the boy in front of the window with a playful smile.

"It's a hassle to visit something, I don't want to say so many polite words to your grandfather! Hurry up, hurry down! I have something important to tell you! ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing the girl's smile so cheerful, the young man couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart.

"You'll know when you come here, what to say here!" The girl stretched out her hand and made a gesture, "Hurry up!" ”

"I ...... I've got something to do! The boy hesitated. The reading plan he had made for himself was not yet complete, and past experience had taught him that if he really played with her, he would not want to find time again today.

"What's the matter!?" After hearing the boy's refusal, the girl lowered her gaze slightly, as if she was a little displeased. "Is there anything more important than spending time with your loved one? Why, were you lying to me that day......"

Looking at her sunken face, the young man couldn't help but shudder secretly.

Hey, oops...... Listen to it.

Since Valentine's Day at the beginning of the year. Charlotte semi-forcibly elevated the relationship between the two from cousins and playmates to "lovers", or rather, she unilaterally announced. Two people are only allowed to love each other and stay together forever.

Under Charlotte's almost frenzied persecution on the galloping carriage, Charles thinks about the lives of the two of them. had to nod and acquiesce to the reality that the two of them became a couple, and he was expecting his cousin to be freed from this almost joking relationship as soon as possible.

However. Although Charlotte's behavior hasn't changed much since then, Charles always feels that his cousin treats this "romance". It's not just the first internship to play in the social world, but I want to get involved with him seriously.

Between "the terrible consequences of provoking her fire" and "the pleasure of continuing to read", Charles made a slight trade-off, and finally had to reluctantly abandon the latter.

"Okay, okay...... I'll come down, you wait for me! He sighed helplessly and surrendered to his cousin again.

"That's right, hurry up!" Charlotte smiled even more happily, and even took off her hat and waved it at Charles, all in an indescribable manner.

I wonder what she's crazy about today......

Charles put away his book with a little reluctance and a little anticipation, and walked briskly downstairs.

However, when he just walked down the stairs, he ran into his sister.

The eleven-year-old girl, whose golden hair was tied by two red silk silks pinned to her head, was divided on both sides, and her blue eyes were wide open to look at him, and there was a little bit of ignorance in her childishness, and she looked very cute.

"Look, I've painted a beautiful picture!" Fran was overjoyed to see him, and showed the canvas in his hand to his brother as if he were offering a treasure, "I was looking for you to take a look!" ”

"It's not okay to say that your paintings are beautiful." Charles smiled and wiped her hair, then took her drawing and glanced at it carefully.

He had long recognized his sister's talent for painting - he had taught her a few years earlier that he had taught her a little bit of her drawing skills, and she had quickly surpassed her, but Charles had nothing but admiration for her work.

"Well, it's really pretty!" Charles was quick to give his judgment, "But don't be too complacent, I think you can draw ten times better than this in the future, if you work hard enough." ”

"Really?" Fran's face flashed with joy that could not be concealed.

"Of course it's true." Charles wiped her blonde hair encouragingly, then handed the painting back to her, "All right. You should keep this painting first. I'm out now, so you can play by yourself. ”

"Are you going out? Where is it going? Fran's tone was calm. But his eyes were fixed on his brother.

Charles was about to blurt out his answer when he suddenly changed his answer. "Uh...... I'm going to one of my classmates. A group of us made an appointment to meet there and then ran out together. ”

"Really?" Fran continued to look at him.

"Of course it's true." Charles laughed as he took his sister in his arms, only to let go after a moment. "Alright, I'll go first, goodbye."

Fearing that Charlotte would be furious, he ran fast and ran out of the living room in a few clicks, and Fran could only quietly look at his brother's back in the distance.

"Tell some lies." She bowed her head and looked at her drawing.

……………………

"Why are you so slow?" When Charles ran in front of him. Charlotte frowned in displeasure.

"I'm already fast!" Charles replied loudly, "I ran all the way!" ”

"Forget it, just come." Charlotte laughed, then reached out and grabbed his hand. "Let's go, go to my house first!"

"But I don't know what you're looking for me for!" Charles was jerked and finally stood still.

"Why are you still like this!" Charlotte glanced at him angrily, "We're a couple!" Couples! Aren't couples always thinking about seeing each other? What is the reason? I'm just going to see you, what's wrong?! ”

"Even couples have their own things to do...... Charles' protest was still protesting, but his tone softened a lot.

That's right. Isn't it because the lover is talking about me all day long?

"Don't worry about that," Charlotte pulled Charles straight into the carriage, and the carriage sped off, "We'll talk about it on the way." ”

The speed of the carriage was very fast. The wind kept blowing on Charles's face, taking away his original heat.

However, this coolness did not dispel Charles's unease. This uneasiness only grew stronger, because this scene reminded Charles of the psychological shadow of that time.

Now I've got everything she wants. She shouldn't have done that kind of deadly thing this time......

At that moment, Charlotte tilted her head. It was put on his shoulder.

"Thank me! I've helped you a lot! ”

"Thank you for what?" Because he had slowly adapted to the relationship between the two of them, Charles did not push Charlotte away and let the other party lean on him.

"Didn't you beg me last time to help your sister find a good artist?" Charlotte crossed him, "I begged my father, he happens to know a painter named Durhamburg, he is quite famous, and he can let your sister come and learn from him." ”

"That's great!" When he heard the news, Charles was overjoyed. "Thank you, Charlotte!"

As his sister grew older, he had been thinking about it for a long time so as not to waste her talent, and rarely asked Charlotte to help him. I didn't expect Charlotte to be so attentive and do it so quickly.

"Of course I should thank you, but ......," Charlotte hesitated, "I heard that the painter's tuition is quite expensive...... And it seems like it costs a lot to learn to draw...... Charles, why don't I let my dad pay for this......"

"Thank you, Charlotte, I'm really grateful that you've helped me, but I don't need to pay for the tuition in advance, my grandfather and I can think of a way, I don't think it's difficult for us." Charles immediately rejected Charlotte's proposal, and then looked at Charlotte sincerely, "We are poor relatives, so we especially can't ask for your family's money." ”

"What else do you say about relatives or not......" Seeing Charles' resolute appearance, Charlotte first sighed, then laughed again, suddenly raised her hand and hooked his neck, and then kissed him on the cheek, "Okay, whatever you want, it's not like I'm going to learn anyway." ”

"Fran will be very grateful to you, too." Under this unspeakable stimulation, Charles forgot about his shyness and embarrassment, and hugged Charlotte's slender waist, "You should really come to my house directly, so that we can be happy together......"

"Forget it, she doesn't like me, why should I go to her for it?" Charlotte replied as a matter of course. "Unhappy for no reason? No, I'm not that stupid. I'm just helping you to make you happy, what does it have to do with her? ”

This reason is so unreasonable but very plausible that Charles is at once exhausted.

"You may have misunderstood her. She's so much younger than we are, and we can't afford to worry about her all the time. A moment later. He stubbornly said, "Besides, she respects you very much." I've never quarreled with you, have I? ”

"Hmph, I don't need to quarrel to be able to express my dissatisfaction, when did she see me with her eyebrows raised?" Charlotte replied mockingly, "Okay, don't talk about this kind of thing, you just said you appreciate me, right?" So how are you going to thank me? ”

"This ...... What do you say? "Charles is in trouble.

"This wasn't meant to be a big deal...... All you have to do is promise me one condition. Charlotte smiled and looked up at him.

"Okay, I promise you! No matter how hard you want me to do, I promise you. Charles straightened up with the stubbornness of a young man, "Even if you ask me to duel with someone you don't like now." I'll do it without saying a word. ”

"Phew, what a stupid thing! People who are all in school and talk about duels all day long, what do you boys think about all day long? Do you want me to be a widow at my age?! Charlotte tapped him on the head dissatisfied, "I want you to do things much easier...... You'll know when the time comes! ”

Charles didn't notice, her eyes flashing with mischief.

Soon, they came to Charlotte's house together, and to the strange expressions of the servants, Charlotte led him all the way to her room.

Although it was not the first time he had been here, Charles still felt a little embarrassed. Don't dare to look at those complicated decorations.

"Wait a minute!" Once here, Charlotte told Charles to wait, and then went straight to a small room next to her.

While Charles was still inexplicable, Charlotte returned. Holding a pink silk satin dress with lace in his hand.

Then, she looked at Charles with a rather frightened look. It wasn't until the young man's heart was slightly hairy that she spoke leisurely.

"What I want you to do is simple......" she deliberately dragged out. Then he sneered, "That's to put it on!" Put on the wig again! ”

Belch...... Charles froze. I don't understand what kind of madness Charlotte is doing.

It wasn't until Charlotte approached that he came to his senses a little. "Charlotte, what are you kidding! How can this work? He shouted, then subconsciously stepped back.

"Why not? Didn't you just say that you were very grateful to me and wanted to do this and that for me? Now I want you to make a single one? Charlotte still sneered, and pressed towards him step by step, "Are you not keeping your word and deliberately deceiving me?" ”

"This ......," a cold sweat appeared on Charles' forehead, "it's not the same thing at all!" Why are you doing this, what's the point? ”

"Meaning? Do I need any meaning? Charlotte's smile grew stronger, "This is punishment!" Do you understand! It's punishment! ”

"Punishment?" Charles frowned, "I...... What did I do again? ”

"Who told you to remember today's day!" Charlotte had already walked to Charles's side in a blink of an eye, "You don't even remember such an important day, what qualifications do you have to be my lover?" ”

Belch...... Charles pondered slightly, his mind spinning rapidly.

Then, his heart finally flashed with a clear understanding.

Today, it's probably Charlotte's birthday.

How come I never remembered! It's too late to regret! He secretly cried out in his heart.

"Who would remember a few people's birthdays in the average boy......" he reluctantly smiled bitterly, "Charlotte, forgive me, I know I was wrong!" I won't do it again in the future! ”

"That's not good, if you talk about it every time you make a mistake, how much trouble will I have?" Charlotte shook her head and kept staring at the Charr, "Okay, if your words don't count, then I won't force you, but then don't be a hero in front of me!" ”

Charles' face suddenly became hot.

Although he knew that Charlotte was agitating, he still couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Yes, someone else has just done you a great favor, and you yourself promised to do it, but you didn't do it...... It's so out of style, let alone in front of such a beautiful girl?

And he understands that Charlotte has a fiery and unyielding heart hidden in her arrogance and unreasonableness. If he really didn't back down at all, something more troublesome would definitely happen.

But...... The words are so. But this is also ...... Shame on you, huh......

Charles was still hesitating.

"Can you ...... Can you change it? Charlotte, please......" he looked at Charlotte nervously.

"Nope." Charlotte shook her head in refusal without hesitation.

Then he handed over the clothes and wig in his hand directly. "Hurry up and wear it!"

Charles' face flushed.

After hesitating for a long time. He finally reached out and took the dress.

"At least...... At least don't let me wear it in front of you......"

"Hahahaha......" Charlotte couldn't help but laugh when she looked at his embarrassed and tangled appearance, "But can you wear it alone?" ”

Charles was speechless again.

He had realized that this would be one of the most shameful days of his life.

………………………

I don't know what kind of psychology it was, Charlotte took her own skirt, and Charles was wearing it a little tightly.

Girls develop relatively early, so at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Charlotte's height and physique are about the same as Charles's, but now. Charles is already slightly taller than her, and I'm afraid it will be even higher in the future.

However, fortunately, Charles was relatively thin, and because he usually had to exercise and practice swords, he didn't have any fat on his body, and he barely put on his skirt - but it still felt very tight.

At Soso's voice, Charlotte led Charles to her dresser, then looked at Charles' face, turning her whims into real business.

"Well, the eyebrows are a bit thick. "I need to draw a little more carefully," Charlotte looked carefully at the cousin in front of her, who had become paralyzed, "the skin on my hands is a little dark and rough, and I have to wear a pair of gloves...... The Adam's apple is also a problem. I'll have to find a scarf to cover it up......"

After deciding on the whole plan, she started her own construction without saying a word, and Charles could only let the other party mess around without saying a word.

I don't know how long it will be. His painful ordeal finally got a temporary break.

"Alright...... Check it out! Charlotte pulled him in front of her large mirror.

Although I know that I am ashamed, it is a very delicate psychology. Still driving Charles to raise his gaze and look at the man in the mirror.

This is a very good-looking "beauty". "She" was dressed in a pink dress with beautiful silk threads in the fluffy skirt, wide cuffs, and exaggerated lace. Her long golden hair hung down from her temples and fell to her chest, and she wore a scarf around her neck with floral ornaments...... "her" eyes were dodgy, shy and reserved.

Is this the art of dressing up too good? Or is it because of the handsome bloodlines of the Treville family?

"This ......," Charles froze for a moment.

"How?" Charlotte asked as if to show merit.

"It's really good-looking...... Wait, that's nonsense! Charles blushed and shouted, "You...... Are you satisfied? ”

"Charles, don't be so restrained......" Perhaps because she thought Charles' reaction was funny, Charlotte smiled, "Isn't that pretty good?" As long as it looks good, King Louis or Louis XV both wore women's clothes, what if you wear it once? That beloved, I heard that he was very beautiful when he was a teenager! ”

"Both of these people only wore women's clothes when they were kids!" Charles protested to her in an almost roaring tone, "And...... Were the customs of that era the same as this era? ”

Although she has been in this world and spent so many years with Charlotte, sometimes Charles does have the urge to "knock open her skull to see if the brain inside is different from ordinary people".

[Louis XV was nicknamed "Beloved" because he was greedy for beauty, had many mistresses in his life, and left a lot of romantic affairs]

"It's not too late for us to remember that great era." Charlotte shrugged.

Then, she looked at Charles again, looking at this "beautiful girl" that she had suddenly created.

"It's really good-looking......"

Then, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Charles' waist. "Now, you won't dare to forget my birthday."

"Don't dare, don't dare anymore......" Charles replied in a mournful tone.

He meant it. This experience was scary enough.

"Then hold me tight......" Charlotte said as she buried herself in Charles' arms.

Charles complied with her and hugged her.

The two of them hugged each other tightly. (To be continued......)

PS: I've been writing too seriously lately, so I'm going to write a cheerful spoof to adjust it......

The idea of this article has been thought of before, and it was originally intended to explain the first time between two people.

That's right, the first time for them, Sister Xia and "Sister Xia" rolled together......

It's a pity that the scale of the starting point is too strict now, so I don't dare to write it, so I'll write it here, and everyone will imagine the rest for themselves.

Also, thank you all for your tips, thank you very much.

I have always had everyone's support to continue this article, not because of how much money I got, but because I found that my efforts were still recognized and supported by others, and I knew that I was not alone in the cold wind......

Forget it, without further ado, thank you really, really much......
