Chapter 33 Chapter 33

Sitting next to him was a sentinel who was about his height, no, maybe a little taller than him.The Sentinel has dark brown hair, shaved very short, wearing a black trench coat, and his image is reflected in a pair of gray-green eyes.

Hmm... Colin felt strangely that a man's character should be serious. His clothes and facial expressions all revealed this information, but his voice was high-pitched and cheerful, which seemed to be a contradiction.

He was smiling at him, but the smile didn't reach those deep eyes.

"Hello." Colin was puzzled by this strange appearance, so he had to respond stiffly.

"Did you forget me?" the sentinel said, "We met before, open class, I am also a student of the Black Rose Sentinel School!"

"Oh, yes." Colin smiled.

God knows clearly, how could he remember that that kind of time is only used to make jokes with Alain and sleep.

"My name is Evan Cage." The sentinel held out his hand.

Corey stretched out his hand quickly: "I'm Colin Bruce."

"Hey I know!" he replied brightly.

The sentinel's cool fingers pressed against their pulps, making Colin feel a little weird for no reason.

The handshake seemed a little long, and he silently withdrew his hand.

Evan smiled, and at that moment Colin seemed to see a little bit of reluctance in the other party's eyes, like two gems carelessly dropped outside the lockbox, which made Colin curious.When he explored again, Evan had already glanced away.

"It's rare to meet here, may I buy you something to drink?!" Evan wanted to take out his wallet while talking.

"Don't, buddy, I drank it before." Colin pointed to the empty can that was pushed down by Evan. "And I drank it until I fell asleep. I don't want to lose face again."

"Are you asleep? Are you sleeping here?" Evan looked at him, his expression suddenly became a little serious, "Have you eaten yet?"

Colin: "Uh...I..."

He could hardly keep up with the rhythm of this strange sentinel.

"How can you not eat, it's bad for your health, I'll take you to eat." Evan stood up abruptly, grabbed Colin's arm and wanted to leave.

Colin sat in his seat without moving.

Evan tugged twice, and suddenly thought of something, and the whole figure sat back in place like a deflated ball.He let go of Colin's arm, covered his face dejectedly, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, I was too excited. Those guys in the school said that you were allowed to graduate early by the empire, I thought I would never see you again .”

"Uh...Actually, I haven't talked to people like this for a long time. It's a little rusty, don't mind."

Colin tried to comfort him.

Evan tilted his head: "So you were scared by me?!"

Colin: "..."

I don't know what to say at all.

"Okay." Evan exhaled, "I will restrain myself. This is indeed too enthusiastic. So Colin, can you tell me why you are sitting in this small bar with your luggage? Are you going on a trip?"

He asked the same question as the female guide just now, and at the same time, he called him "Colin" directly and intimately.

Colin Bruce was a bit horrified. Although this kind of intentional skipping had been done before, it was only aimed at those weak and blushing female guides. The sentinel swore that he had absolutely no strange thoughts in mind when addressing them.

Even Alain calls him Bruce.

Licking his lower lip, the embarrassing development made Colin anxious.

However, when he raised his head and tried to avoid it, he bumped into Evan's eyes inadvertently.There is a kind of sincerity and sincerity in those gray eyes, which are not particularly beautiful.

They were sitting very close to each other, and the gap between the swivel chairs in front of the bar was extremely small, and two big men were squeezed together in a row—Evan's windbreaker brushed against his legs from time to time as he moved.

"Well, I was actually kicked out by my family." Colin spread his hands helplessly, "I have nowhere to go and no money."

"Oh why?"

Evan's tone of voice didn't change.

Colin suddenly felt that there was nothing to be ashamed of. It must be admitted that, amidst Mr. Bruce's endless insults, he also doubted whether the way of life he insisted on was wrong.He is the eldest son in the family, and he has a younger brother who has just awakened. His strong sentinel factor makes his younger brother always regard him as his opponent.

On the night when the door of Bruce's house was closed suddenly, Colin saw his younger brother standing in front of the window on the second floor through the super-sensing Colin, and his immature face clearly showed contempt and disdain.

This feeling is different from staying with Alain.

If Alain was still here, he would rush into Ed's house with a pile of luggage and complain to him, waiting for him to kick him out.But in front of Evan, he felt inexplicably dependent.

The strangely shifting emotions flooded in like a tide.

Colin, who has always been enthusiastic about making friends, can't help stammering: "Uh... because... because I only hope to have an ordinary job, but my parents want to send me to the battlefield to die for the empire. Hell, I don't want to so."

Evan: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

"You think so too?"

Colin was surprised.

Evan: "Of course, why can't we have such an independent choice. If every sentinel wants to find a job in the government, the government should be overwhelmed."

"Oh, Cage..."

Colin let out a sigh.

"Okay, let's think about how to solve your accommodation problem." Evan paused, "Do you have a pairing guide?"

Colin shook his head laughing.

"You won't be uncomfortable... Well, I mean, the sentries sometimes need spiritual counseling from the guide, after all, we are too receptive to information from the outside world." Evan smiled.

Colin: "Maybe I'm a little slow on this. The fact that I haven't met a guide with compatibility standards is too bad."

"That's it." Evan's smile was hidden in the corner of his lips, "I have a good idea, Colin. I rented a house near here, the kind that can be shared by two people. I am worried that no one will share the burden with me. What about the rent." After a while, he explained, "Actually, like you, I am also looking for a job. I have successfully graduated from the Sentinel School."

"Are you inviting me?"

Evan: "Yeah. There's room available and you're in trouble."

Colin didn't speak.

Things seemed to be going out of his control.

He didn't know this sentinel personally, and they haven't talked for more than an hour now.

Evan stood up, and the swivel chair he was sitting on rotated slightly due to the movement, like a whirlpool, which dazzled Colin.

"Have you figured it out, Colin?" The tall sentinel was against the light, and the smile on his lips was obviously deep, "Are you coming?"

"Uh...I think..." Colin glanced around and then at the luggage piled on the ground.

He just got his check-out card this morning, and the last few coins in his pocket were used to buy wine.The canned wine was bitter, and he'd never had anything so cheap before.

"I think... I can go and see..."

Evan reached out to him: "You are welcome."

Evan walked ahead, and Colin followed behind with his luggage.

When the door was pushed open, the bell hanging on the door frame jingled.

When I came out, the cold wind hit, and the night seemed to be getting deeper. Colin quietly covered the collar of his shirt.

Evan stood aside and looked at him, and took the initiative to pick up the luggage in his hand: "I'll do it."

"no need……"

Evan couldn't say anything, and took the luggage with one hand and wrapped his arms around Colin's shoulders: "You look a bit underdressed."

Colin snorted and was led forward by the other party.

The heat from the windbreaker reaches the top layer of the shirt, and keeps penetrating down into the skin.

"You think a little differently from me. It seems a little cramped. You are obviously getting along with the young master of Ed's family."

"Hey!" Colin was dissatisfied, he and Alain are friends, "I just think this posture is very strange."

"We are both sentinels and classmates, how can it be strange?! Aren't you cold?"

Evan pulls Colin inward a little.

Oh well, Colin gave up his resistance and seemed to understand why Alain annoyed him.

Evan Cage’s rental house is not far from the city center, and if it’s daytime, he can still see the bustling street outside through the window.There is a large lawn in front of the door, and a yard is surrounded by gray walls outside the lawn, and the tall iron gate locks these inside, like a loyal money-keeper.The most amazing thing is that not far from the gate of the house, there is an imperial light tree, emitting a radiant light.

Colin was surprised and turned around the light tree.

This can be regarded as a gift of good luck.

From Evan's perspective, Colin's curious face was facing him.The light illuminated this handsome face, and the line of sight followed the light spot and focused on the collarbone protruding from the collar of the shirt.

He narrowed his eyes.

Entering through the iron gate, what you see is a duplex building. The first floor is the hall, and there are two houses on the corridor on the second floor.Evan opened one of the doors first: "This is the one."

"Oh my God!" Colin exclaimed.

Without turning on the light, the sentry's super sense allowed him to see the whole picture of the room.The furnishings and color matching inside perfectly fit his aesthetics. If it wasn't for Evan still carrying luggage in his hand, he would have thought he was home in a trance.

"This is awesome!"

He walked in and bent down and got off the bed.

"Damn, I've never seen such a soft bed, so much better than the hotel I stayed in. Cage, where did you find such a good rental!"

The material satisfaction made Colin have no time to care about other things, and he wanted to take out all the things inside to have a look like a child.

Evan didn't go in, and looked at him with his hands on the door frame.

His eyes stretched upwards from the young sentinel's slender legs, paused for a while on the skin that occasionally bent down to reveal the lower back, and reached the shy smiling face facing him.

"Like it?" Evan asked him.

"It's so perfect!" Colin replied excitedly, "Are you sure you want to share the rent with me, well, I think..."

Evan: "It would be a great help if you would, you know I just got a job and I'm in the same situation as you."

"Oh, of course, I am very willing!" Colin said, "Thank you, Cage, thank you very much. If I didn't meet you today, I might go to sleep on the street, or go to the relief center to grab a bed, and my father will definitely be angry if he knows die."

"I'm glad I could help, Colin."

"But, the rent..." Colin felt awkwardly in the pocket of his trousers, "I don't have any money now."

Evan: "Oh, that's okay. When the landlord comes, I can help you pay for it first, and then return it to me when you find a job. As for jobs. I can recommend a few places to you. My friend has been there before, and the treatment is very reasonable. Don't worry, you won't just sit at your desk rigidly like in the government."

"That's a great offer!"

"Yes, I think so too..."

There was light seeping through the aisle, and the sentinel in the windbreaker blocked most of it with his body, leaving only a faint part of light on his chin, which portrayed the smile on his lips full of meaning.
