Chapter 591 Lanqi and Hyperion's Candlelight Dinner
The air in the terrace garden became quiet.
Both of them looked a little embarrassed.
Only the gentle sound of the harp came from nowhere, as if it could make the midsummer breeze flow under the night sky.
Hyperion pretended to be calm, but her pursed lips kept trembling slightly. Recalling what had just happened, she felt like tears were about to fall from her eyes.
She actually did it in front of Icerite Academy... No, I'm afraid it will spread to the entire Hutton Kingdom.
Now Hyperion doesn't dare to think about the reaction in Icerite Academy.
But she was sure that the incident between her and Lan Qi would be spread wildly in the school. After all, Dean Loren's scandal was a lesson learned from the past.
She and Ranchi were always like this.
Most of the time we can get along well with each other.
Occasionally something happens suddenly and I realize that "their relationship is not like this" or "maybe a boundary has been crossed or not actually." It's like breathing and blinking become manual gears, and you can't even do the most basic things.
Obviously, in normal times, you can talk to the other person about anything without thinking about anything, and you don't need to mind whether the other person is of the opposite sex. In short, the relationship is very good.
Fortunately, on the terrace in summer, the night view is wide, and besides the other person, there are many scenery to divert attention.
finally.
"Ranchi."
Hyperion spoke.
Her eyes were lowered.
"Um?"
Lan Qi looked at Hyperion beside him.
Normally at times like this, he would wait for Hyperion to calm down a bit before speaking to comfort Hyperion. This time, Hyperion took the initiative to speak first.
"Actually, I don't blush easily because I have been accustomed to receiving the gaze of others since I was a child. Perhaps because I am half demon, I can always remain calm and cold. Even if I want to act more like a sentimental person Human girls, maybe part of it is acting.”
she said.
Gradually he raised his head and stared at him.
Needless to say what follows.
Because her red cheeks said it all——
The reason she changed was all because of him.
Rows of carefully trimmed exotic flowers and plants from the devil world sway gently in the breeze in the courtyard, shimmering with subtle luster, as if whispering the secrets of the night sky.
After telling the truth, Hyperion gradually seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. She lay on the terrace fence and looked at the manor and the sea.
"When I first met you, I thought you were a cool girl with a sense of distance. Although you are very reliable as a teammate and very friendly to me, I always feel that it is not easy to have a good relationship with you."
Lan Qi followed her line of sight and looked into the distance, put his arm on the stone railing, and said slowly beside her as if he was talking to himself,
"I didn't expect it. Then I didn't know it. I don't know if I was used to being with you every day, or if I subconsciously didn't want to imagine what it would be like without you around."
They were back to their usual self again.
The chat started again.
Occasionally, they look at each other, as if they are thinking about some unresolved issue, and the awkwardness has completely disappeared.
They didn't even realize that behind them, at the entrance to the third-floor terrace, Boss Cat had used telekinesis magic to open the door and call them for dinner.
Boss Cat walked to the wooden floor of the terrace and looked at the backs of the two chatting people in confusion.
Although in the eyes of Boss Cat, Ranch and Hyperion usually get along like this.
But it always felt like the shoulders of the two people were a little closer today.
However, based on the cooking time, Hyperion had just woken up for a while, and Lanci led her downstairs. It was impossible for the two of them to make any progress in such a short time.
"Meow, meow, meow, I don't want to disturb you, but it's already very late."
Boss Cat would never interrupt a boy or girl talking unless it was too late for dinner.
What's more, Hyperion slept for most of the day and didn't even eat lunch, which would starve her body.
However, neither of them noticed it.
"Meow meow……"
Boss Cat looked at the two people chatting under the starry sky.
The noise from the restaurant downstairs can be heard from the balcony fence. It is really difficult for them to hear you shouting there from such a distance.
"Meow!"
The cat owner gradually came closer, meowing from time to time, and deliberately making various noises on the floor, almost knocking over the chairs on the terrace.
It was finally confirmed that the two men could hear nothing.
There was still a hint of red on Hyperian's face, which, like makeup, made her look even more beautiful.
And Lan Qi was no longer so dignified at this moment. He laughed from the bottom of his heart from time to time, like a high-spirited young man who had found a treasure.
Boss Cat turned his head and sighed.
It walked back and stopped disturbing the two of them.
There happened to be tables and chairs on the terrace, so it acted as a waiter for the two of them and helped them deliver their meals.
Not long after, along with the busy figure of the little black briquettes in the night, you can see candlesticks and dinner set on the pure black textured dining table in the courtyard garden.
The light dances in the corner of the terrace, the crystal of hand-made ice, the luster of wine bottles, and the mist of newly served food, everything becomes more and more stunning under the refraction of light.
Boss Cat ran to the feet of the two of them.
"You can have dinner, meow!"
The little black cat raised its head and spoke to the two of them in its childish voice.
At the same time, Lan Qi and Hyperion lowered their heads as if waking up from a dream, noticing the only bright eyes of Boss Cat's dark figure in the night.
Turning around, I found that the dining table on the patio had been newly decorated.
The open-air hanging scenery became the background of the dining table. Only here did I realize more strongly that this was a palace restaurant by the brightly lit bay.
"Thank you, Mr. Cat."
Lanqi and Hyperion said to Mr. Cat happily, walked towards the dining table, and sat down on both sides of the square table.
When night fell, the stars seemed to be reflected on the dining table, giving them an absurd and dreamy color.
"Guest, please look at this meow first."
Mr. Cat used telekinesis magic to float a black cowhide guide with diamond patterns to the table, and handed them the menu preview of this dinner with professionalism and ritual.
Lanqi opened the menu and placed it in front of Hyperion so that she could see it.
On the table was an appetizer made of fresh roasted beef cut into small pieces, sprinkled with herbs, fried salt grass leaves and transparent pear slices, and then spread on thin black bread.
There are also thick slices of venison marinated with salt and black pepper, fried until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft, and served with thin slices of black truffles placed between the slices of venison.
"Isn't this the dinner we had at the Demon King's Restaurant? Boss Cat, when did you learn to cook demonic food?"
Huparian checked the menu and knew what dinner Boss Cat had prepared for them after reading half of it.
