“Swish…swish…swish…”
The blue sea ripples, licking the golden beach tenderly. On the old and neat stone pier, a few scattered boats are swaying gently in the dock. Several seagulls, gilded by the sun, are circling leisurely above the boats, occasionally making a few pleasant chirps...
The morning in the coastal town of Ankara is still as quiet and beautiful as before. The difference is that the dockside tavern that is usually bustling with people has become deserted, and no one has been seen in or out for a long time.
Agatha, the waitress who became the dream lover of the young men in the small town because of her playful and hot personality and an even hotter body, also did not appear in the dock tavern. Instead, she appeared in front of the only post office in Ankara, frowning as she flipped through the past newspapers posted at the door.
……
It’s been hard to find a job recently…
After flipping through the job recruitment pages of many newspapers in a row and failing to find a job that suits her, Agatha, who had just lost her job this morning, couldn't help but sigh.
After the incident in the tavern yesterday, although he was carried out by Mr. Joseph and was not injured in the conflict, the three drunken sailors beat up Mr. Elijah who spoke up for justice.
Even more unfortunate was that when he and the police arrived later, the three sailors took advantage of the fact that no one was around and pried open the cellar of the tavern. They drank and robbed all the stock inside, even took all the money on the counter, and then ran away without a trace.
When the real owner of the tavern came back, he learned that all this was caused by him, and he became furious. Not only did he deduct all his salary as compensation, he also fired him directly.
I escaped from home in a hurry and didn't bring much money with me. Although I saved some money by working as a bar waiter in the past few months, I still don't have much savings and can only barely make ends meet. There are no suitable jobs in the job postings in the newspaper. What should I do now?
"You are... Miss Agatha?"
Just when Agatha was standing in front of the post office, at a loss as to what to do due to her lack of money, a somewhat surprised voice sounded from behind her.
Agatha looked back in surprise and found that the person who came was the guest who had had a very pleasant chat with her yesterday and who had bravely stood up when the sailors were making trouble.
"Mr. Elijah!"
Looking at the man in front of her with gauze wrapped around his head and a large bruise on his forehead, but still handsome, Agatha blushed with guilt as she recalled how she had left him to be beaten yesterday. She took the initiative to greet him, a little embarrassed:
"Are you...are you okay? I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday. If it weren't for me...you wouldn't have..."
"It's fine."
Elijah was a little depressed after being beaten for no reason, but when he saw the blushing beauty in front of him, the resentment in his heart disappeared unconsciously, and he smiled and replied:
“What happened yesterday was not your fault. You were just implicated by the drunkard who was causing trouble. As for the injuries on my body, when I decided to stand up yesterday, I was already prepared to be beaten.
This is the price a man should pay for practicing his principles, and it is also a medal of my courage. It has nothing to do with a beautiful lady who was just unprovoked. You don’t need to feel guilty about it. "
"Mr. Elijah..."
Seeing Elijah, who was beaten so badly but was still trying to comfort herself, Agatha suddenly felt warm in her heart. She clenched her fists in front of her chest and said softly with tenderness in her eyes:
"Your courage and tenderness, like the sunshine in the early morning, illuminate my dark heart, and like the endless waves on the ocean, make me..."
"I really can't stand it!"
Hearing this, Leon, who had been sitting in the post office for half a day, couldn't help but open the window and stick his head out, complaining speechlessly:
"Can't you just talk properly? You're just saying hello and sighing, you're almost singing. If I don't interrupt you, are you going to dance in the middle of the road? And then we, the passers-by, will jump out of the cars and stand on the roofs to dance with you?"
After Leon finished his complaints, the yellow-haired Xiaoha on his shoulder also nodded his head and tried to join in with full momentum:
"Woof woof woof! (That's right)"
This man is...Mr. Joseph?
Seeing the man and the dog sticking their heads out of the window, the hero and heroine of "Twelve Days Together" could not help but freeze in place at the same time.
It's nothing, compared to the outfit that the mentally ill guy wore yesterday...the outfit that only a mentally ill guy would wear, "Mr. Joseph" now seems a little too normal.
Under the well-cut gray wool coat, he wore a simple and decent vest and a slim-fitting pleated shirt. In the chest pocket of the shirt was a neatly folded handkerchief, which made him look quite gentlemanly.
The only thing that was not very gentlemanly was that one button of his collar was undone, revealing his well-defined collarbone and fair neck, his clearly defined jawline and slightly upturned lips, his tall nose and deep, bright eyes, giving people the feeling that...
He's a decent looking man.
There is no way. Neither the real Leon nor Mr. Joseph in "12 Days Together" are the kind of characters with earth-shattering looks.
Even though Leon had dressed up carefully for his current appearance, and even secretly applied some eye shadow under his collarbone to highlight the lines of his collarbone, his foundation was still there. Even after all his efforts, he could only be said to be a little handsome, to the extent that people would look at him a few more times when he walked by the street, but nothing more.
But just as beauty is created by contrast, although "Mr. Joseph" at this moment is only slightly handsome, compared with the flashy and crazy pheasant yesterday, he is extremely handsome. With such a contrast, he can be called a handsome and compelling man.
……
How's that? Are you scared?
Looking at the two people who were full of surprise outside the post office, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and revealed a meaningful smile.
Although it is not known whether it is true or not, according to the information revealed by "King of Drama", as long as one can completely disrupt the plot and get higher evaluations than the original script, then it is possible to become the new controller of the drama world.
If one wants to do this, one must first see who made the "evaluation". The people most likely to give the evaluation are naturally the residents of the small town of Ankara, the three thousand audience members who once attended the Central Cross Theater.
As for what these audiences like to watch...
Last night, Leon broke into the Household Registration Bureau through the window and looked through the registration form of the town's residents. He found that 70% of them were women. Moreover, there were two plays today, one was a romantic comedy "12 Days Together" and the other was a tragic romance "Lady Helena". So it was not difficult to guess what these audiences liked to watch.
And how can the new "12 Days Together" be more attractive than the original when there is only one character that can be "controlled" by himself and the "King of Drama" is interfering...
For someone like me who has been influenced by various works from another world, this might be the easiest one!
