I put out his fire

Chapter 74

Outside the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, beams of neon light strafed the sky above the city.

Caligula opened the white plastic shutters and stood in front of the French windows in a neat suit.The red and green lights coming in from between the window slats illuminated the taupe eyes.

He picked up a cup of black coffee, took a sip carefully, and wrinkled his nose from the bitterness.

This bitter drink is no match for wine mixed with honey water, but everyone around is drinking it.It took him a long time to get used to the odd drink.

Half a year ago, he was reborn into this new world.It's still called Rome, but the announcers on TV usually add a prefix - "Italian capital".

The door of the office was knocked twice, and his secretary came in with a piece of information paper with the logo of "Julia Group" printed on the header.

This is his family business of gold jewelry.After rebirth, his identity is the chairman of the Julia Group, and his name is still the old name of his previous life: Caligula Germanicus.

"The man you mentioned named Thales is at the front desk now." The secretary said, "He retired from the army half a year ago and has not found a stable job. On the phone, he showed great interest in the position of bodyguard, even if it is He also agreed to come for an interview at night. I think he needs a job urgently to support himself now.”

Caligula looked at the applicant's photo, his eyes full of sullenness widened, and his hand holding the information paper was shaking.

"Let him in quickly!" he said emotionally.

The secretary, whom he regarded as "the company's domestic slave", looked at him suspiciously, and silently pushed open the glass door and went out.

……

On the first floor, Thales looked out of place in a baggy black tracksuit among well-dressed jewellers.

He has the typical black hair and black eyes of the Romans, a superior nose bridge, heavy eyebrows, bright red lips like oil paintings, and his facial features are extremely three-dimensional and handsome.Even well-informed people in the luxury industry will take a sneak peek at this plainly dressed outsider.

At this moment, Thales followed the secretary, passing rows of gold ornaments and precious stones covered by tempered glass, and took the magical elevator to the highest floor.The secretary opened the glass door for him.

As soon as he entered, he saw a swivel chair with his back facing him, with pale hands resting on the armrests on both sides.

"Hello, my name is Taylor Fine." Taylor introduced himself politely.

Caligula in the swivel chair was silent for a while, and ordered to the secretary: "Fourvis, you can go out now, close the door."

This voice seemed to open a magic box that had been sealed for a long time, and the curse that was finally sealed in the box came out again.

Thales was instinctively frightened just by hearing the sound.He took two steps back subconsciously, a nightmare-like familiar face was reflected in his big black eyes.

"We meet again, my Thales." Caligula's cheeks were flushed, his lips were trembling, and his jeweled hands were tightly clutching the edge of the table.

Thales stepped back, his back touching the glass door, "Don't come here." He said coldly.

"I won't go!" Caligula held on to the edge of the table, desperately resisting the desire to rush over to hug him, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..."

Thales pressed against the glass, knowing that it was useless to escape, and quickly calmed down.

"How did you find me?" he asked calmly.

Caligula stared at his face, swallowed, and said: "When I came to this strange world, I kept my old name, and I used the name Thales Farne, and used all my contacts to find you in Rome. As a result , I really found you."

Taylor's face darkened, "You are not allowed to say my last name."

Caligula's jaw twitched with excitement, looked at him eagerly, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "I'm sorry, Thales..."

Thales felt a thin layer of sweat on his back at this moment.Leaning against the glass, his body slowly slid down, and he sat slumped on the gray-blue nylon carpet.

Pushing away the swivel chair silently, Caligula lightly moved his steps closer to him while observing his face.

"Why do I still meet you in this life? The tear bottle has been sealed..." Thales raised his face with a complicated expression, looking at the blazing office lamps.

Caligula sat beside him and touched his knuckle-knuckle hand.Caligula nearly shed tears when his skin touched.

With trembling lips, he said, "Because you cried when you killed me."

Thales was surprised and turned to look at him.

Caligula took his hand and tapped his finger on his cheekbones, "Your tears dripped onto my face... right here, I remember it clearly."

"Am... did I cry?" Thales' voice was as soft as he was muttering to himself.

Caligula nodded, opened his palm, kissed the palm, and then spread it close to his cheek, "I think it is the tear you shed that allows us to meet in this new world."

Thales withdrew his hand, separated some distance from him, and said indifferently: "You linger like a ghost!"

Caligula leaned forward persistently, "I understand your feelings, Thales. Your parents were killed by me, and later, because of a misunderstanding, your sister also... At that time, the door that should be cut into pieces Xi told me that you had an affair with a virgin, and I always cared about your 'son', so I ordered it in a fit of anger... If I knew that she was your sister, I would definitely clear her of her crimes and send her away A villa for her and her son to live well..."

Thales covered his eyes with his hands, and there was a violent gasp between his fingers.He almost broke down and said, "Stop it...Stop it! I hate you, I hate you! Caligula, I hate you to death..."

Caligula hugged his shoulders and pulled him into his arms, "I'm sorry, Thales. I don't know what else to say other than this."

Thales pushed against the shoulder he leaned over and struggled.Caligula held him tightly, his face flushed.

"Let me go!" Thales struggled to break free, scratched his cheek in excitement, and beat his chest hard.Caligula's cheeks blushed suddenly, but he still endured silently, unwilling to let go.

He hugged Thales tightly, kissed the top of his hair, and said while kissing: "In this world, I also searched the names of your parents and sister, but found nothing. That is to say, now, I You are no longer an emperor, and you are not a descendant of the Fine family..."

He leaned into his ear: "Let's live according to our truest thoughts."

"Get out!" Thales said angrily, "I don't have any feelings for you!"

"No, you love me, I know it very well." Caligula hugged him, and said in a low voice: "That day...you were drunk, and while crying, you promised to protect me all the time. You gave me the tear bottle as a token, and I Make a will, you must take it away after you die, and then we hide it in the safest temple together. Do you remember... That night, we spent the most ecstasy night in our lives..."

Thales' resistance gradually weakened.He covered his face, tears fell from between his fingers, and choked up as he struggled: "My father, my mother...my sister..."

"There are no them in this world. Besides..." Caligula said softly, "I have already paid for my life."

Thales closed his eyes and choked up, and didn't speak for a long time.It means he's shaken.

Caligula saw the timing, hugged him horizontally, and pressed him on the sofa in the office.

"I love you, Thales." He said bluntly and forcefully, "Be my bodyguard and be with me every day. I will let you enjoy the best, just like I used to do."

Thales was lying on his back, his cheeks were flushed, and the bright white incandescent lamp illuminated his eyes.He was torn between personal love and family hatred, and said bitterly: "Actually, they are all guilty..."

The movement of taking off the tracksuit stopped, and Caligula put his arms on Thales' sides and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My parents took advantage of loopholes in the law to sell their citizenship. My sister, who was married and unclean, got into the temple. They are all guilty..." Thales said in a miserable tone, "But why, the ones who executed them all It's you……"

Caligula was stunned for a moment, then smiled, covered his black eyes with his palms, and kissed his lips with his head down.

"Have you stopped deceiving yourself at last, my Thales?" Caligula said earnestly, "All my blood, my whole life, longs for this moment."

Thales covered his lips that were about to be kissed with his hands, turned his head to one side, and whispered, "The walls of this room are all glass..."

Caligula understood, stretched out his hand, and pressed a button on the remote not far away.Like obedient soldiers, the shutters closed automatically, completely blocking the surrounding glass.

Thales tilted his head when he saw the blinds that could close automatically. He looked a little shocked.

Caligula straightened his face and let him look at himself, "Isn't it fun? When I first came here, I thought it was quite interesting."
