…
Looking at Jeanne who suddenly fell into deep thought, Shen Ye did not make any noise to disturb her. He just ate breakfast and looked at her from time to time. He could guess that his words just now probably reminded her of the only other remaining witch... Bayonetta.
However, he also noticed that the look in Jeanne's eyes kept changing. At first it was nostalgia, then thought, then hesitation, and in the end, it was resolute and firm.
God knows why Jeanne's eyes were so complicated. Shen Ye looked at her with some confusion, his mouth slightly open, wanting to speak.
At this moment, the silver-haired witch's eyes regained clarity, but she did not go to the bedroom to put on makeup. Instead, she returned to the dining table and sat opposite Shen Ye.
Then she spoke, and what she said was shocking.
"Honey, do you want to keep a lover outside?"
"puff!"
Shen Ye almost spit out all the milk he had just drunk. He didn't even bother to wipe his mouth and asked in astonishment: "Jenny, what are you talking about?"
He knew that a witch's train of thought was different from that of a normal person, but this... this was not ancient times. How could it be as if a wife took the initiative to ask her husband whether he wanted to keep a child outside?
His train of thought hasn't come around yet.
Jeanne used her fingers to pick up the milk that splashed on her face, and sucked it carelessly in her mouth. Then she said lightly: "Shen, I have a very good sister. She is a umbra witch like me."
"And then?" Shen Ye knew who she was talking about and continued to ask.
"And... she and I are the only two umbra witches left in the world." Jeanne said, paused, and continued: "Don't you understand?"
"So...what do you mean?" Shen Ye finally sorted out his thoughts.
The silver-haired witch nodded, her tone a little distressed: "Although I am a little reluctant, but... she is my best friend, no doubt about it, so I don't want to become distant from her after having you. At the same time, I am also worried that if she falls in love with someone else, she will also become distant from me. So, I will be generous to you. When you find my good friend, if you have the ability, you'd better take her down, so that my sister and I will never be separated."
"How about it? Are you excited?" she continued.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but Shen Ye still showed a very surprised expression: "But..."
"Don't say but, just say whether you agree or not." Jeanne suddenly said with a straight face: "I don't mind, why are you still hesitating?"
I'm not hesitant...
"Well... okay." Shen Ye pretended to think for a while and nodded vigorously.
Seeing Shen Ye nod, the silver-haired witch snorted. In fact, she still hoped that Shen Ye would hesitate and delay for a while, but she didn't say anything in the end.
After a while, watching Shen Ye finish the food on the plate, Jeanne spoke again.
"Shen, my good sister is in a certain country now. I hope you can find time to go there and help me find her."
"Then why don't you go find it yourself?" Shen Ye asked back.
"Of course I will go back to find her, but..." Jeanne stopped here. It was not that she didn't want to say it, but that she couldn't say it.
Seeing Jeanne's hesitant expression, Shen Ye naturally understood what was going on. It must be that the restriction that Balder imposed on her took effect, preventing her from speaking out.
So he asked in his mind: "Tell me, what should I do?"
After a while, a cold voice sounded: "Go find that bitch."
"Didn't you say you could do it the night before last?" Shen Ye's mouth twitched. How could he not keep his word?
"Didn't you think I was a devil at first? Do you believe what a devil says?" A sneer came.
Shen Ye was stunned. Just when he was about to make up something nice to say, another seductive voice rang out: "I'm busy. Go ask that bitch."
Shen Ye: "..."
"You can't do this!" Shen Ye said helplessly: "Besides, we have signed a contract, shouldn't we help each other?"
At this time, two voices sounded at the same time: "I signed an equal contract with you. Unless your life is in danger, I have no obligation to help you."
Shen Ye: "..."
"Forget it, you are not reliable at all." Shen Ye didn't know what was wrong with these two and why they suddenly changed their minds. He could only snort coldly and forcefully block them out in his mind.
Opposite him, Jeanne saw the rich changes in Shen Ye's expression and asked in confusion: "Shen, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about something." Shen Ye pinched his brows and asked again: "When do you want me to leave?"
Jeanne thought for a moment and said, "Wait a few days, at least until Enzo gets your permanent visa, otherwise we won't be able to contact you."
"Okay." Shen Ye nodded.
"Then I'll go put on my makeup first. If you want to go to school with me in the afternoon, you can." Jeanne said, getting up and walking towards the bedroom.
…
In the afternoon, Shen Ye still followed Jeanne to school. He thought that since he might have to find another witch in a few days, he might as well stay with her for the next few days.
So during the rest of the time, Shen Ye and Jeanne were almost inseparable, except for going to the bathroom, they never separated even when taking a shower.
Of course, Shen Ye was not just playing around, he would still take time to ask those two, but at first they responded to him with a few words, but later on, it was just like responding to someone you are not familiar with in a letter, either "oh" or "um", which made him confused, not knowing how he had offended them.
Then, in the blink of an eye, a week passed.
Shen Ye had already bought the plane ticket and was waiting outside the airport. Jeanne naturally came to see him off.
After the two of them kissed passionately outside the airport as if no one was around, Jeanne finally released her hands from holding Shen Ye's cheeks and straightened his clothes.
"Be careful on the road. Also, call me when you miss me. If you feel lonely, don't look for other women. They are very dirty. I put several pairs of stockings in your suitcase. They are all the ones I changed out of these days and have not washed. Don't worry, they are enchanted and will not change the smell..." It was the first time that the witch felt that she was nagging like this, but she continued: "Even if I'm not by your side, you still have to eat and sleep on time. Hey, did you hear me clearly..."
The witch held Shen Ye's cheek again and said.
Shen Ye nodded vigorously. He felt that his mouth was deformed by the witch's hand. He said indistinctly: "I heard it clearly."
The witch nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "We found Cereza... well, she should be called Bayonetta now. When we find her, treat her well. She has been sleeping for so many years, and I heard that she has lost her previous memories, so we can't bully her."
"No."
"That's good." Miss Witch let go of Shen Ye's cheek and threw herself into his arms again.
"Be safe. I will be there in a few days. Then... I will help you."
Shen Ye understood what he meant by the word "help", so he hugged her tightly and kissed her again.
After several minutes, the two separated.
"I'm leaving."
"Um!"
After watching Shen Ye enter the airport, Jeanne didn't get on the motorcycle until he was out of sight.
However, at this moment, a mysterious force came through the overlapping time and space, penetrated into her body, and released the restrictions on her without her and Balder's knowledge.
Faintly, a cold snort was heard.
