"But I will help you find your father, I promise."
Hearing this, Bornova almost subconsciously looked into Lin Ruo's eyes, immediately seeing the emotions contained within them.
He paused for a moment, then nodded.
"I believe you, Uncle Lin Ruo."
He truly believed Lin Ruo's promise, even though the latter's condition didn't seem very good, Bornova was still willing to believe.
Because this was Lin Ruo, his father's closest friend.
Bornova knew that if there was anyone in this world who still hoped for Roselle's return and had the ability to find him, it would probably only be Lin Ruo.
"Sigh, you trust me so much, it makes me a little embarrassed." Lin Ruo, in a very short period of time, suppressed the emotions stirred up by the voice he had just heard, and jokingly teased him, half in jest and half seriously, but then suddenly thought of something else.
He blinked, looking at the well-dressed Bornova, who could easily attract the attention of many girls with his appearance alone, and after thinking for a moment, he still said, "Bornova, actually, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you?"
"What question, Uncle Lin Ruo? Just ask." Bornova looked at Lin Ruo, puzzled, thinking that the other party had some serious matter, "If it's something I know, I won't hide it."
"Well…" Lin Ruo deliberately paused before asking, "I heard that your private life… your style is quite similar to your father's?"
Now that the serious matter had been discussed, Lin Ruo's focus naturally shifted to gossip.
He was genuinely curious whether Bornova had become a Roselle 2.0, as Saint Anthony had described.
He was especially curious whether the other party knew the taste of a witch.
As soon as he asked this question, Klein, who was drinking tea and watching the show, almost choked, and after suppressing his cough, he looked at Bornova with a slightly subtle gaze.
Lin Ruo knew that Klein hadn't known about this before.
Bornova's smile froze, somewhat dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that Lin Ruo would suddenly ask such a question.
The key was that Lin Ruo's identity was quite special. Although their relationship wasn't particularly close, Bornova honestly respected Lin Ruo as an elder from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, the latter could be considered to have watched him grow up. According to his father, Lin Ruo had even held him when he was a child.
Such a person suddenly asking about his private life… Bornova inexplicably felt like he was facing a stern elder when he was young, and felt a bit guilty.
His gaze flickered for a moment, and he still said, "Uncle Lin Ruo, you know, the atmosphere in Intis has always been open."
The implication was that the rumors were true, and he was truly in the same vein as the Emperor in terms of romantic affairs.
"Oh~" Lin Ruo said meaningfully, raising an eyebrow and continuing to ask, "So you also think The taste of a Demoness is not bad?"
"You—" Bornova's eyes widened slightly, obviously not expecting Lin Ruo to suddenly say such a thing. It could be seen that his humanity was maintained very well, and he was directly broken by Lin Ruo's words.
However, facing Lin Ruo's teasing expression, Bornova swallowed the words "How do you know" back down, and suddenly understood why his father used to mutter when mentioning Lin Ruo, "Does this guy Lin Ruo have X-ray vision? How does he know everything?"
In the end, he could only smile awkwardly, and said somewhat defensively, "It was all youthful ignorance…"
"Don't worry, I understand." Lin Ruo's smile became even brighter.
Bornova became even more embarrassed, but he immediately realized a certain word in Lin Ruo's words just now, and subconsciously asked, "But why use 'also'?"
"Oh, because your dad thinks so too." Lin Ruo replied without changing his expression, and then added, "This shows that you are indeed father and son, and even your hobbies are in the same vein."
Bornova: …
Ah, this!
He was even more embarrassed.
Lin Ruo didn't intend to keep persecuting him, and then said, "Okay, it's not a big deal, as long as you don't force any girls, who cares if you're romantic or not… It's just that your humanity is really well maintained, so what exactly did I do back then?"
"I'm actually not very clear about this." Bornova was naturally happy to change the subject, and said, "I only know that my ability to maintain my humanity is thanks to you, Uncle Lin Ruo, but I'm not very clear about what you did. I asked my father about this, but he didn't give me an answer either."
"Alright." Lin Ruo curled his lips, not very disappointed. He then chatted with Bornova for a while. Because they had already talked about Lin Ruo's own affairs, the two naturally shifted the topic to Roselle himself.
Then Lin Ruo listened to a bunch of Roselle's praises, and by the end, he wanted to ask Bornova—if you knew that the things your dear father invented and the stories he wrote were all plagiarized, would you still respect him?
Fortunately, Lin Ruo still held back, deciding to save Roselle's face, and just changed the subject: "Bornova, have you contacted Bernadette in recent years?"
Bornova, who had been in a good mood because of talking about his father's various achievements, suddenly froze. He then sighed and said, "I haven't contacted my sister for a long time… After father's accident, we rarely interacted."
He then looked at Lin Ruo and asked, "Uncle Lin Ruo, do you want to see my sister?"
"I do have this idea." Lin Ruo nodded, not intending to hide it.
"I have my sister's contact information and can help you write a letter to ask, but I can't guarantee whether she will see you or not…" Bornova said, and then added as if he had remembered something:
"Although you don't remember, in fact, your relationship with my sister was originally closer than with me, but… but after father became crazy, your relationship with my sister also seemed to deteriorate. I don't know the specific reason."
He hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Although I don't think my sister would be detrimental to you, given your current state, it may not be suitable to see her."
Lin Ruo: …
Ah, this!
For a moment, Lin Ruo didn't know what to say, and just silently postponed the meeting plan with the "Queen Mystic" Bernadette Gustav.
After all, life safety is more important than memory.
Moreover, after collecting relevant information about him from Roselle's era through Bornova, considering that he wasn't very familiar with the younger generation of the Emperor's family, even if he was a little familiar with Bernadette, it wasn't that familiar, Lin Ruo felt that even if he saw Bernadette, he might not be able to recover any memories.
Perhaps collecting Roselle's diary is more reliable? After all, the Emperor dared to write anything in his diary.
Lin Ruo suddenly fell into thought.
