Antoninus paid no attention to me and walked straight ahead. I quickly grabbed his cold mechanical hand, puzzled, and asked, "Where are you going?"
He stopped but didn't turn around to look at me. I couldn't help feeling a bit guilty and said, "Are you angry? Come on, I was just kidding..."
Antoninus still didn't respond to me. I couldn't help but become a little impatient and said, "Antoninus, what's going on? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Before I could finish, Antoninus turned to look at me, then pinched my face and made me look ahead.
In the classroom, Chris's principal was chatting with Chris. The principal was probably around sixty years old, with a slightly chubby figure. She always wore a pink suit, with bright red lips, and her hair, makeup, and outfit were all very exquisite.
Upon seeing Antoninus and me, she walked over enthusiastically and greeted, "Hey, Lily."
"Good morning, Principal."
"I heard from Chris that his 'cl
"Lily, long time no see," Anna said, walking over confidently.Haar, upon seeing me, quickly found an excuse to bid farewell. However, Anna was unwilling to let him go so easily. Right before parting, she insisted on giving him an intimate farewell, even planting kisses on his cheeks.I was left gaping in astonishment.Anna, with a triumphant smile, said, "Sorry, Haar heard it was my birthday and insisted on coming to help me pick out a birthday gift."She snorted and continued with a hint of pride, "That's just the kind of person he is. He takes care of the people he loves with meticulous attention.""So what?" I didn't understand why she was telling me all this.Anna glanced at me and raised an eyebrow. "So... what about you?""What about me?""Where's your boyfriend? Your beloved Mr. President? Why did he let you go shopping alone?"I'm not alone...I turned to look at Antoninus, who was standing next to me.
Chris really moved: "Mommy ~""All right..." I nodded and added, "But this meal is on me."I had promised to treat Roman to dinner when I returned home, and this was a good opportunity.Roman raised her eyebrows and nodded happily. "Sure, if you want."We sat down at a nearby restaurant.Roman gently pulls Chris's helmet off.They were sitting opposite me, side by side.I could clearly see the intimate interaction between the two of them.To be honest, Roman doesn't seem like someone who's bad with kids.But Chris was happy with him. They were like father and son.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but raise my lips and smile.If Antoninus had seen this, I think he would have been insanely jealous.That guy is so possessive, he's like a big dog guarding his food!Roman heard me laugh and looked up at me tenderly. "What are you laughing at?""Nothing, nothing." I said, "Eat. Play with him
I didn't think that bearded guy would let Antoninus take the stage.Did he already know Antoninus's true identity?My nervous palms were sweating, but Antoninus didn't look flustered.He mounted the platform calmly.Fortunately, the bearded man did not recognize Antoninus as the president.It was only because Antoninus's clothing was so unique that he called him up on the platform to promote their demonstration.After shaking hands with Antoninus, Beard warmly put his arm around Antoninus's shoulder.He held the microphone in front of Antoninus and asked something out loud.Unfortunately, the mall stereo was a little loud and I couldn't hear what they were saying.I guess he was asking Autoninus if he supported their proposal or something.In short, Antoninus' answer satisfied him very much.Because every time Antoninus answers a question, the crowd in front of him erupts in cheers.The bearded man e
As I watched Antoninus nervously, a policeman pushed his way through the crowd to my side."Hey, Miss Lily, do you still know me?"Of course I know him. He's Sergeant Smith.When I first entered the president's estate, he asked me to stay on the phone the whole time so he could protect me at any time.When Antoninus warned him, he got scared and hung up the phone.This spineless guy.I snorted angrily. "Good afternoon, officer.""Good afternoon." Smith shook his belt and pushed those around me away. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll take care of you and the president."I said, "Maybe you're better at protecting yourself?""Hey hey..." Smith laughed awkwardly and whispered an apology, "I'm really sorry about last time. But I'm just a little agent, so I can't go against the president, can I?""Yes. You're right."I don't care about him.Standing next to me with his head held high and the air of a palace gu
Antoninus raised his eyebrows and refused to answer the question.He went back to reading his leaflet.I opened the window to let the crisp evening air into the car.The blue pendant slid down my chest and clung hot and sticky to my skin.Like the touch of Antoninus' lips.Suddenly my experience this afternoon didn't seem so bad after all.At night, however, I don't think so.My phone hasn't stopped ringing since 9:00.First, my colleagues and sisters called one by one, asking about my relationship with Antoninus.Then my grandmother came and told me to be careful with Antoninus.She also sent me a lot of short videos, the content is nothing more than some young women cheated by the male brother and abandoned the bitter drama.At the end of the day, she made me swear that I was not allowed to have feelings for Antoninus, let alone sex with Antoninus.I nodded obediently and felt guilty.I will
Seeing Antoninus just recovered from the injury, he immediately put his schedule full.I snorted and complained, "Antoninus, can't you give yourself a little time for rehab?""That's not necessary."I said, "If you continue to treat your arms like this, Chris won't need to buy any dinosaur toys. You're enough.""See what I'm doing?"Live T-Rex, you and T-Rex have the same arms now."Antoninus' eyelids twitched. "Where did you learn that weird language?""Online." I answered.Antoninus narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Maybe it's time for me to consider confiscating your phone.""I'm afraid you can't do that in your present capacity." I said it on purpose.The next second, he lifted me into his arms.Okay, I was wrong.Even if he hasn't moved his arm for a month, he's still much stronger than I am.I wanted to get out of his arms.And he's still holding on to me."Hey! Let go of
From Blake's description, I finally know who this guy is.That guy, Aix, is the guy I met at Chris's school who talks like a robot.He's really annoying!So without thinking, I threw the invitation in the trash."Wait, what are you doing?"Blake gets the invitation out of the trash.I looked up, cold hum: "You pick up also useless, I will not go."I know exactly what Aix is thinking.He'll invite me?No, no, he wants to invite people the president's sweet little secretary.He was just trying to get to Antoninus by trying to impress me.I hate being treated like a tool man.So I grabbed my camera and headed straight out of the office.Of course, before closing the door, I did not forget to turn back to Blake and said, "Sorry, I don't have that big ambition, let someone else be the top of the media." I'm just trying to be a good tabloid reporter.""In addition, I will continue to complete
Marcia startled me, and my eyes widened as I hurriedly pushed her away."What are you doing?"She licked her lips, smiled unbridled and proud: "I just think your skills are very rusty, you can come here often in the future." I can teach you something that will surely put the president at your feet.""Wait, wait..."My face was hot and probably steaming, I said, trying to compose myself."I wouldn't be with Antonninus, but you can't kiss me without asking. I don't like women."I said, "Also, whether I go after Antoninus or not, we're never going to be together." In two or three years, his father will send him to find someone of similar social status, not me, who has nothing."Marcia suddenly lit a cigarette and said, "Lily, life is much shorter than you think. Every day you live is a happy day. Why think about such a mess?"Then she waved her hand and began to drive people away: "Let's go. I'm tired. I'll talk about it another d
Once the hype is over, it's time to start preparing for our roving pitch. The first presentation was downtown. It's where the last parade was. Only this time it wasn't Antoninus in armor on the stage, it was me. He didn't show up, so I, the president's personal secretary, had to deliver his campaign message instead. I don't know much about Antoninus' politics, but at least I know what he did, and I have something to say about it. I don't know if the advertisements all over the street played a role, and when I took the stage to preach, the audience came to be particularly large. I even saw a lot of professional reporters and cameras standing in the audience. Good flow of propaganda, actually made a press conference sense. The dark camera came over, and I panicked for a while. However, I was more disturbed by the questions they asked. "How do you and the president know each other?" 'What? I suspect I misheard. But then someone asked, "I hear you and the president have a son
"Boss, I might need a favor from you." I said."No problem, go ahead."I said, "Antoninus's campaign has been delayed for a while, and I was hoping you could help us out."'Of course you can!Blake grinned and patted me on the shoulder, but sure enough, he was looking down and rubbing his hands. "But... You know, Lily, we don't do this kind of propaganda at this paper. So I'm afraid I can't help you directly. How about I give you the contact information of some of my colleagues, and you go find them?"I knew this was gonna happen.I sighed and stepped aside.Lucius, who was behind me, stepped forward and expertly pressed Blake down on the table, sneering, "Repeat what you just said?"Blake's face turned white. "You... Who are you? Lily! How could you do that?! I'll call security in!"I gave him a faint glance. 'Bark.'"I... Help me! Get me someone now! Security guard!"Just as he spoke, the door was pushed
"Antoninus lost? What do you mean?" I asked him.Lucius replied vaguely, "The day you were taken by Roman, my duel with him ended." Four out of seven, I won.""Not two out of three?"lucius replied uncomfortably, "Never mind a few games, I won anyway.""Well," I said, "it's none of my business. It's just a game. I don't care if you win or lose.""You don't care about the result?""Of course not."A kid takes a game like that seriously!Lucius snorted, "That's what I thought."He stretched out and asked, "Do you have any food here? I'm a little hungry."He did not regard himself as a stranger at all, and had begun to dig in the refrigerator.Two people in a bunker suddenly burst into a dozen people, just preparing the ingredients can be exhausting.Fortunately, they were not idle, rushing to help wash vegetables and cut meat, almost pushed the table over.Even the meal was noisy.The fir
“Be careful!” I rushed to shield David behind me.Draw my gun.Aim.The dark figures gradually rose to their feet.They looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly shouted my name: "Lily?"This voice?Is it the Salamanders?I looked at the men in surprise as they came out of the shadows one by one.It was them.And the tall figure in the distance who was waving a crowbar to greet me was the bear."Why are you here?" I was pleasantly surprised.They were visibly agitated, too: "We're coming to save you.""But how did you find me?"I can't get any signal out of here.Did they call in satellite surveillance? Or infrared tracking?"No, no, none of that. The salamander vendor said, "We have the drawings, look at the coordinates and find it."The blueprints?I looked back at David. Didn't he say the drawings were gone?So, salamander, where did the
“What's that noise?”I instinctively stood still and looked warily into the cave.David smiled and explained, "Don't worry, it's just some... Music in the background. Surely a dark cave needs some monsters, doesn't it?" 'What do you mean? I looked at him in even more shock. "Don't tell me you've been genetically modifying animals."Could it be that the depths of the cave are visiting cages stacked with animals, and the cages are filled with mutated monsters with hideous faces?Judging by his uncle's crazy ideas, it's not impossible.But David waved his hand and denied my guess: "This is a shelter. Not an outdoor adventure park. How could I really put some monsters in here? You may rest assured that you are perfectly safe here. ""So what was that sound?""I don't know..." David scratched his head and looked puzzled, "These are all audio files I downl
I looked at Antoninus on the screen and asked anxiously, "Does he have a good chance of reelection?""I don't know."I looked back in doubt.With all this surveillance, it's kind of bullying for him to say he didn't know.But David doesn't seem to know.He raised an eyebrow innocently and explained, "Well, his approval ratings are very high and he should have a good shot at re-election.""But?"But he doesn't seem to be running anymore."'Why?I was surprised. "Where did you get that information?"I know all about Antoninus. How could a workaholic totalitarian like him give up the presidency?David was still clueless: "Maybe it's you?""Me?"I'm not sure. Well, that's certainly the case according to the surveillance results. He spends half his time at his desk working and half looking at your pictures.""Oh," he said.My heart beat faster, but my face pretended not to care, "Then
"How can this be..." I know I'm not tied tight.I seriously doubt he strangled his hands like that on purpose.Sure enough, he looked up at me innocently again, his blue blue eyes blinking and blinking."All right," I said, "I'll untie you, but you have to give me a gun!""I don't have a gun.""Do you expect me to believe that?"I don't think a guy with his paranoid, cautious personality wouldn't have a few guns stashed around here."Say it! Where is the gun?"He smiled brightly again: "Under your bed, the floor closest to the wall is pry up.""Very good."I looked where he said, and sure enough I found two pistols under the floor.With a weapon in my hand and some relief, I unseated him from his chair.He still looked at me with a big smile. "You're not afraid I have a gun somewhere else.""Not afraid. One is enough for me."Shoot him or shoot yourself, but I won't give him another cha
For the next few days, I just stayed in my room.I cooked for David every day, watched TV with him, and even chatted with him until late at night.Because I wanted him to let his guard down early, hoping he'd forget to close the door one time he left.But I really underestimated him.The man was indeed introverted and timid, but he was also sensitive and cautious, like a rabbit, a scheming rabbit with a soft exterior but a dark belly.He locked the door when he entered the room and made sure I was standing at least three metres away when he opened and closed the door.I think it's gonna take a few months before he's completely unwary of me.I can't afford to wait that long.I can't stand the fact that he provides me with everything I need to live here, like food, like clothes, including my underwear.I even had to give him my underwear to change.I'm really gonna go crazy if this keeps going on.Might as we
"Well..." I nodded, as Antoninus had told me.Tiberius did all he could to restore the glory of his family, even though it drove his wife away and killed his only daughter.David sees that my face is fine and continues: "Mr Tibeirus chooses a quicker way to have a baby as soon as possible. One that doesn't require much cooperation from the president." .I probably guessed what he was going to say, and I bowed my head and listened.David said: "His father found a surrogate for him. That's you, isn't it?""That's right." I freely admitted, "I did have a child with him.""Chris. That's the name, isn't it?"I heard him say Chris's name and raised my eyebrows at him. "He's just a kid! What are you investigating him for?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing my anger, David awkwardly began to wring his fingers, "I didn't mean to hurt him." I just feel sorry for you... I mean, innocent.""It's not something you should take on," he sa
