Really?

Can things get better if you ask others for help?

Lawrence hesitated for a moment, but still whispered to the reception, "Let's go to the next study room to talk."

Like his brother, he did not live in the palace.

After Stuart's return, the king gave him a quiet little manor not far from the palace, which is said to be the private residence before a certain king was crowned several generations ago.

Although the area is not large, it has all the necessary things and is very convenient to transport, so it doesn't take long to go to the palace.

"I was not feeling well today, so I asked for leave, not to escape."

He argued unnaturally.

Wien didn't need him to serve tea and pour water, and sat down on the guest chair beside him: "Of course I'm willing to believe you. But the truth is, it's often hard for us to control what others will think."

When Lawrence heard this, his emotions tensed up again, and his fists were pinching tightly.

"Hmph, they can think whatever they want! I won't worry about the gossip of those guys. I've had enough of it over the years."

Tsk tsk tsk...

The young man seems to be very stubborn on the surface, but his actual performance doesn't seem to be careless at all.

Lawrence's teachings are indeed too shallow.

Wien nodded: "Indeed, it is very annoying to be fabricated by others behind the scenes."

At this point, both herself and Chris were also deeply hurt.

When he found that Wien and he were allies on the same front, Lawrence seemed to have put down many concerns in an instant and confuse himself with many dissatisfactions accumulated from childhood to adulthood.

It was not until this time that Wien realized that there were too many people around Lawrence, and he was intentionally or unintentionally compared with Richard.

But the more you compare, the more Lawrence's rebellious mentality becomes.

"I know what those of them will think of me behind my back," Lawrence said, "but I don't care!"

Seeing his appearance as if he wanted to rush out and beat others, Van sometimes agreed with him, sometimes sharing the same hatred with him.

After talking to Wien, Lawrence felt much better.

"Gugugugu..."

Someone's stomach made a hungry protest.

Lawrence's expression, as he was talking, suddenly changed, and his movements froze.

Wien smiled secretly in his heart.

After thinking about it, he said, "Well... it's getting late now. I'll finish your meal tonight and go back. It shouldn't be that there is no food to entertain me, right?"

The more you emphasize that you don’t care, the more likely you will be to expose your fragility.

Wien already roughly understood what he was struggling with.

...

“—So, is Lawrence too much influenced by others?”

Qingxi Academy, one end of the corridor outside the Lily Club event.

With a hint of Wien's eyes, Richard followed him to a secluded place outside and spoke.

Hearing Wien's analysis, Richard's face showed a little thoughtful look.

"This is a very important reason," said Wien. "But if you want to change, it is difficult to produce any ideal results only based on external factors."

"You, and Lawrence himself, must work hard for this."

“So we might as well—”

After listening to Wien's advice, Richard replied slightly seriously: "I understand."

For him, it was a bit reluctant to do this, but it was not completely unthinkable.

"Then let's implement the plan first. We will act according to the opportunity and discuss it separately if there are any questions." Wien briefly concluded the topic.

The two of them didn't talk for too long. After all, there were people coming and going outside the event, so they could not be heard by others just a few words.

Richard left as if nothing had happened.

Watching his back disappear at the door, Wien turned around and walked towards the stairwell on the other side.

In his schedule today, Richard was not the only one who arranged the meeting.

In an empty classroom.

"I made an appointment to meet me in advance, and I waited for so long. It really has your style."

With his back against the window, Ge Li glanced at him suspiciously.

"Tell me, what the hell is it?"

"Ahem... Richard just found me, and it took a little time." Wien took out a deposit certificate from the Edgeworth Family Chamber of Commerce from his pocket, "Here, this is paying you back the debt for Lawrence."

Ge Li raised her eyebrows and did not take it immediately.

"Why are you here to pay it back?" she asked.

"Anyway, you just need to remember to pay it off." Wien took two steps forward and stuffed the certificate into her hand. "By the way, if he asks me later, you'll say that you've received it when you came to me to collect debts, and you don't need to say anything else."

Geli glanced at the withdrawal amount, which happened to be the amount Lawrence had borrowed last time.

"You are doing your best for him." She commented inexplicably.

"Not as much as one tenth of what you are for."

The stingy love words came out, and Wien approached her cheek in a flattering manner and gently "mua".

Song Li smiled and said, "Is that true?"

She seemed unwilling to let him go so easily, and waved the bill in her hand lightly.

"The money I lent out is also a very important favor, do you admit this?"

No matter what, she solved the urgent problem for Lawrence.

"Uh, naturally." Hearing her tone, Vienne felt something was wrong.

Isn’t Songli trying to… torment myself again?

"Then, the favors he owes and the favors you pay back are not the same thing." There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she indeed showed her intentions.

Wien struggled for less than a second, and immediately said righteously: "No matter what Miss Geli wants to do, I will never resist!"

Now that a lonely man and a widow live together in the same room, how can we repay this favor?

Wien tried hard to suppress his little excitement.

She must be, and she misses herself very much, right?

Seeing the excitement flashing in his eyes, Ge Li ruthlessly exposes his fantasy: "Okay, come and work for my tea restaurant this week."

Wien:???

"Wait, work? What the hell!" Wien looked like he saw a ghost.

The promised flowers are in front of the moon, where are you in love with me?

"Hmph." Ge Li stretched out two fingers leisurely and slowly stroked down his chest. "Do you think my favor debt is so easy to pay?"

Through a layer of clothing, Wien felt that his heart seemed to be falling down with her every move.
