Chapter 486: Lanqi and Sigrid's Date (Part 1)
Lan Qi walked out of the principal's office with firm steps.
Outside the door, the light in the corridor is soft and clear, and the dark red lacquered wood floor forms a beautiful pattern of light and shadow.
Pranay was standing quietly. Seeing Ranchi, Pranay showed a smile on his face.
"Pranai, I got off work early today. Let's make some preparations. We will leave tomorrow."
When Lanchi passed by Pranay, he patted Pranay briskly on the shoulder.
"Yes, have a nice date."
Pranay stood there and saluted Ranchi.
"How come you know everything again?"
Lan Qi turned back in surprise.
"Because you look happy."
Pranay's voice was filled with relief.
"Okay, go and have a rest. Goodbye Pranay."
Lanchi smiled back, his tone lighter than usual, and then raised his hand to say goodbye to Pranay.
He walked down the corridor and towards the stairs.
The stone steps of the staircase are simple and solid, and each step is engraved with the unique dark gray relief of the Red Mondstadt Building. Lanci's footsteps echoed in the stairwell, seeming to be half a minute faster than usual.
Walking out of the Redmond Administration Building, Lanci welcomed the spring sunshine and fresh air.
He followed the path and walked all the way to the lake on the north side.
The trees were lush and green, birds chirped one after another, and the sunlight passed through the treetops and reflected on Lan Qi's body, adding a bit of lightness and joy to his steps.
He walked all the way.
soon.
The blue lake next to the northernmost church of Protos Royal Academy of Magic appeared in the field of vision.
The spring sunshine filled the lakeside, giving everything a light golden glow.
Lan Qi's footsteps left faint traces on the soft grass.
The lake surface is sparkling, and the breeze blows, bringing with it the moist smell of flower dew.
In that sunny landscape with a wide perspective, he saw a slender figure from behind.
She stood by the lake, wearing a light white dress, the hem of the skirt fluttering gently in the wind, like water ripples on the lake.
The loose, light-colored, silky long hair was blown up by the breeze. She raised her hand to hold it down. The sunlight filtered through her hair, reflecting a gentle halo, adding a hazy purity to her back.
Sigrid stood quietly, seemingly admiring the lake in front of her and the scenery in the distance.
"..."
When Sigrid felt a slight movement, she slowly turned around and met Lan Qi's gaze in the distance.
A warm smile broke out on her face and a welcoming light shone in her eyes.
"I've been waiting for a long time. I was delayed a little by dressing up."
Lan Qi came to her side and said.
"It's okay, you look good. If you're worthy of the time I spent waiting for you, I knew you were going to look like this black hair and green eyes again."
Sigrid's voice was soft and sweet, like a spring breeze gently blowing across the lake.
"..."
Lan Qi smiled back.
"You're still smiling, you're still smiling. I've obviously advised you several times not to behave like this again. Do you want the girls on the street to look at you more?"
She suddenly pointed at Lan Qi, frowned and criticized harshly.
"But."
Before Lan Qi could explain anything.
"So, don't let me catch you looking at other girls today. If they look at you, you are not allowed to look at them either. Do you understand?"
Sigrid's words were teasing, but there was also a hint of warning that reminded her of her dissatisfaction.
"It turns out that you want me to only see you today."
Lan Qi shook his head helplessly and spread his hands.
When Sigrid heard this, she stared at Lanqi in disbelief, then turned around and walked quickly towards the south side of the campus.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Qi naturally followed Sigrid and asked.
"There are some things that you don't need to translate. You just need to understand them in your heart, otherwise it will embarrass everyone."
She glared at Lan Qi fiercely and quickened her pace.
Lan Qi caught up with a smile, and the two chatted as they walked, talking about some non-nutritious topics, the daily life of the school and the new look, and also some relaxed topics, such as the flowers blooming in spring and the scenery by the lake.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they first traveled together in the snowfield. As long as they stayed together, they could chat non-stop, leaving the cat boss speechless.
But the cat boss is not here today. He was taken away by Antanas early in the morning.
Walking along the road to the school, their voices echoed in the empty residential area on the north side.
In the residential courtyards on both sides of the campus road, the newly grown leaves are shining green in the sun, the plants in the flower beds are blooming, and the long-lost breath of spring permeates every corner.
Sudden.
At the end of the road, there was the rhythmic sound of wheels crossing the road and the faint meowing of cats.
"Meow!!"
The sudden laughter and childish screams are particularly clear in the fragrance of spring flowers, startling a flock of birds.
I saw three people sitting on a sightseeing-style sled coming from the corner, drifting through the curve. The fallen leaves could not hide the smiles on their faces.
"Fast corners are really fast!"
The big black fox in front was pulling the car and running wildly. The tips of its ears were burning with golden flames, and its powerful footprints left golden light and shadow of different sizes on the asphalt road.
Antanas held the reins and had the brightest smile on his face.
Even though Sinora was riding in the fast-moving Fox car, she still maintained the attitude of a lady and remained calm.
In between the two great demons, sat Zestira, who had been taking care of the big fox. She looked expressionless, but she was obviously very happy sitting between her two sisters.
As the first student recruited by Lanqi in the southern town of the northern continent, although there was no teacher to tutor her in magic engineering recently, there were three more senior professors who would visit her and teach her magic.
During this period, Zestira had become familiar with the other three professors, and she admired them very much, always feeling that they had the temperament of the great demons.
After Antanas discovered the two figures on the road, he immediately slowed down and stopped the fox car beside the two.
"Huh? What's wrong, Boss, why are you dating a student sister you don't know!?"
She asked in surprise, holding the little black cat.
Or, the moment the big fox saw Lanqi and Sid, he took the initiative to run towards them, and then rubbed his head against the two intimately.
"Hey, Antanas..."
Sinora hurriedly pulled Antanas' sleeve, she knew that Antanas was asking knowingly.
"Teacher?"
It was not until this moment that Zestira suddenly realized that this black-haired, green-eyed young man was her teacher, Mr. Rocky.
"Hmm?"
Sigrid's mouth corners slightly raised.
She deliberately looked at Lanqi standing beside her with a scrutinizing look, waiting for his answer.
"So what is it, can you reveal it?"
Antanas looked like a reporter, smiled cunningly, and raised the air microphone to ask.
"You are wrong."
Lanqi said seriously and clearly,
"I am not your boss, I am Lanqi Wilford, a first-year student at the Protoss Royal School of Magic."
"..."
This answer made Sigrid's smile deepen, and he was not denying the date.
After hearing Lanqi's answer, Antanas raised his hands high, lifted the cat boss over his head, and cheered.
"Have a good date, both of you!"
Under Antanas' blessing, the fox car was driven faster.
Lanqi and Sigrid looked at each other helplessly, and watched the fox car disappear at the end of the road, and then turned around and walked out of the school.
"Speaking of which, the campus has become different again."
Sigrid observed the changes in the Protoss Royal School of Magic compared to half a month ago.
Although Principal Rocky McCarthy is about to retire.
But the art works he left in the school will surely become a legend of the Protoss Empire forever.
If this guy's attitude and level of painting can be as upright and dedicated as designing architecture, then maybe he will leave a good collection for his collection.
Sigrid thought to herself.
"This is probably my last job in this school."
Lanqi recalled many things that happened after coming to the North Continent.
You won't feel it too much when you are experiencing it.
But when you are about to leave, you will feel that every moment is beautiful when you look back.
Chatting, the two walked out of the school gate and stepped onto the streets of the city of Helrom.
The southern part of Helrom is a downtown area, much more lively than the campus. The skyscrapers and shops on the street have already opened for business this morning. The residents of Helrom walked by quickly or slowly to spend this weekend.
Crossing this street, the two walked by the city's river, with a faint blue light on the water.
The river in the south of Helrom is not an ordinary river. It flows with liquid mineral springs containing magic energy, which has an unusual attraction to magic craftsmen.
But this time, Lanqi did not focus on the river. He kept looking at Sigrid.
Sigrid turned into Sid's appearance today. She was no longer dressed in a very capable outfit, but in a more girlish dress.
"How do I look today?"
Sigrid walked while holding up the hem of her skirt and turned around, letting Lanqi look at her all over.
"..."
Lanqi tilted his head in confusion.
"Doesn't it look good?"
Sigrid asked hesitantly. She always felt that Lanqi's eyes were like saying, "You look like a woman today."
She was worried that if she continued to ask, her blood pressure would explode.
"I still think you look best in your original form."
Lan Qi answered seriously.
"..."
This made Sigrid slightly stunned, and soon he coughed again to cover up his half-second pause just now.
"...Then let's go to a place with fewer people, and I will change back to my original form and let you see it."
Sigrid moved closer and said to Lan Qi.
After that, she lifted her long hair again.
"But today I can only wrong you a little, date Sid, not Sigrid."
Sigrid added with pretended regret.
"Then you won't continue to calculate the favorability, right? If it's too low, you won't give me the slate."
Lan Qi felt that Sigrid's examiner-like eyes were about to start scoring him again.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Sigrid put her index finger on her lips and thought.
Yeah. That's right.
She thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud, letting him figure it out himself.
"So today, are you Sigrid or Sid?"
Lanqi decided that he had to figure this out.
In fact, during the month he and Sigrid went to the north of the empire, he still didn't understand the definition of Sigrid.
"Uh."
Sigrid didn't speak at first after hearing this, as if she was thinking about how to make up a convincing explanation.
Gradually, she realized that she couldn't make it up.
at last.
"My name is Sid, a second-year student at Protus Royal Academy of Magic. I am nineteen years old. Look, this is my student monthly pass."
Sigrid blinked her left eye and said to Lanci energetically.
"..."
Lan Qi choked up. He had always followed the rules. This was the only time he was fooled by someone using unclear rules. He had been fooled for so long.
"Are you actively reporting yourself to the principal for forging your student identity?"
He has been in the education industry for so long, and this is the first time he has seen such a arrogant student as Sigrid.
"How dare you try to revoke my student status."
She lowered her voice a little, moved closer and poked Lan Qi, with a hint of warning or even threat.
"Don't dare."
Lan Qi shook his head.
"We haven't seen each other for so long. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Sigrid suddenly seemed to remember something and asked.
"Congratulations to the Bishop for leaving the ninth level..."
Lan Qi clasped his fists and turned sideways to congratulate Sigrid.
"Fifth level."
Sigrid's clear voice interrupted him.
"One step closer to the ninth level..."
Lan Qi paused for a moment and then continued.
"Level 5!"
Sigrid emphasized again, glaring at Lanqi, not letting him finish his sentence.
She knows what this guy wants to express!
It’s better not to congratulate!
"Sid is the fifth level and has always been the fifth level. If you work hard, you might be stronger than her."
Sigrid crossed her arms and looked away, looking at the lake and muttering.
"What do you mean? Can you explain it in detail?"
"It's a good impression."
The two stepped onto the bridge over the river, and after crossing, there was another neighborhood.
The sun slants down next to the high-rise building, and the hanging garden supported by the transparent magic barrier is suspended in the air. Singing plants and glowing ghosts sway in the wind in the garden.
They passed under the sky garden without any worry that the sky garden would plummet.
"Where shall we go next?"
Sigrid followed Lan Qi's line of sight, looked at the hanging garden, and asked again.
"Today there is a weekend performance in the sky garden. For lunch, we will go to Fourth Street in Herrom. I have a reservation-free card for the restaurants there. It's up to you to choose which restaurant to go to. I don't have anything planned for the afternoon. It feels like It's stressful to have a full schedule. Let's just wander around in Herrom as we like. If you want, I have audience tickets for the "Herrom Late Show" in the evening and I want to go watch it together. ?"
Lan Qi tapped his fingers and preached to Sigrid slowly.
If the date is aimless and lacks reservations, the actual experience will most likely be encountered in various queues, and it will end in boredom to pass the time.
Especially today is Saturday in Herrom.
"How did you arrange your trip?"
Sigrid was a little surprised.
This feeling of a mature man in his thirties is really strange.
She originally thought that Lan Qi had not prepared anything, because she also rushed back from her work suddenly, without notifying Lan Qi in advance, and arrived at the Red Mondstadt building as soon as possible.
It seems that I can give him some favorability today.
"I was discovered by you."
Lan Qi took out a small notebook from his pocket.
I saw that the travel guide for Herrom was carefully prepared above.
And the title of the chapter he opened read - "Herorom Travel Guide That Even a 3-Year-Old Child Can't Get Lost"
When Sigrid saw this, she suddenly smiled with relief.
She laughed angrily.
