A rose in full bloom was entwined on the girl's left chest. The thorny branches extended along the edge of the heart and on the skin, as if tying up the heart.

Bright and rich fragrance, with a sweet magic.

Dio put his hand on it and seemed to feel every beat of his heart.

"finished."

Mia looked confused: "What did you tattoo?"

Dio adjusted Mia's nightgown and took her to the mirror.

Mia saw a lifelike rose, which was painted in a style similar to that of an oil painting.

She doesn't know how to draw, but she can feel that the lines and colors are very harmonious and beautiful, and the tattoo artist's painting skills are definitely great.

The roses are so gorgeous that they make the girl look even more beautiful, as if she is glowing.

Mia couldn't help but take a step forward and stared at the mirror infatuatedly.

Upon closer look, she discovered strange black lines in the center of the flower.

Take a closer look...

It turned out to be Dio's name.

Mia's pupils shrank slightly, and she stroked the name on the center of the flower with her fingers: "This is..."

"Now you belong to me." Dio hugged Mia's waist tightly and looked at the two people hugging each other in the mirror with satisfaction, as well as the rose with his mark.

The ancient citizens of Memphis used pyramids and sphinxes to decorate the majestic Egypt.

Similarly, the boy transformed his love into a painting and implanted it into the skin above her heart.

Mia leaned towards Dio: "So, will you believe me?"

"When did I not trust you?" Dio tucked her hair behind her ears. "You are the only person I trust in this world."

"Believe that I won't leave you, believe that I love you." Mia said word by word, her eyes moving to the boy's eyes in the mirror.

Not surprisingly, she saw hesitation and retreat.

Mia lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and Dio couldn't see the emotion in her eyes.

"Mia..." Dio held Mia's hand and squeezed it hard, "That's not what I meant."

"I know."

Mia's five fingers slid into Dio's fingers and interlocked theirs.

"I love you, forever."

Dio squeezed Mia's hand and said "hmm" softly.

The next day, at night.

A small celebration banquet was held at the restaurant of the stronghold.

There are only Mia, Dio, Wen Qing and Speedwagen.

The celebration party the day before yesterday was too formal, so we wanted to get together privately and have some fun.

The restaurant was decorated with balloons and streamers. It was colorful and a bit rustic, but very festive.

The table was filled with traditional British dishes such as roast chicken, steak, and mashed potatoes, as well as Chinese dishes such as dumplings, braised pork, and mapo tofu.

Wen Qing and Goudan are Chinese, so they naturally like their hometown food. Mia misses the taste of her past life and eats it sometimes. In everyone's eyes, she is a British person who loves Chinese food.

The most eye-catching thing is the hot pot in the middle of the table.

The fire below was burning brightly, and the pot above was steaming white. The pot was a double-boiled pot, with clear soup on one side and spicy hot soup on the other, exuding the aroma of butter.

The plates next to it were filled with ingredients: pig brain, oysters, lamb, beef, duck blood, tripe...

The dipping sauce is also very rich, sesame oil garlic paste, sesame paste, chili soy sauce...

In the UK, it is not easy to get so many things. All I can say is that money matters.

Mia sat on the chair, holding the familiar yet unfamiliar chopsticks, feeling like she was at Haidilao, and was very excited.

"Mia." Dio poured a glass of orange juice and placed it in front of Mia. "What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

"No, I'll do it myself." Mia pouted, picked up her chopsticks, and walked to the other side of the table, looking like she didn't even want to eat with Dio.

"Mia." Glancing at the orange juice that Mia threw down, Dio quickly followed her, "You're so stupid, you'll definitely get burned. Let me do it."

Mia puffed her cheeks, stuffed the chopsticks into Dio's hand, and pointed at the beef on the table: "You come."

Looking at the two pieces of wood in his hands, Dio secretly glanced at Wen Qing and Goudan, and picked them up by imitating their posture.

It's not difficult.

Dio raised an eyebrow and picked up the raw beef on the plate.

The beef had just been picked up a little when it slid down.

The girl he liked was watching him, but he failed. Dio couldn't help but have a stiff expression.

He lowered his head and started to struggle with the beef.

Mia snorted coldly, ignored Dio who was trying hard to learn how to use chopsticks, and walked away.

"Mia." Dio held the beef and walked around to Mia, "I learned it."

The boy's expression was still as cold as usual, but combined with the beef in his chopsticks, it gave people an inexplicable feeling of pity.

Isn't this too fast? Is there a minute?

Did Dio's brain evolve without humans' knowledge?

Mia's mouth twitched, she ignored Dio and sat next to Speedwagen.

Dio hesitated for a moment, wanting to sit in the empty seat on the other side of Mia.

boom.

Mia picked up the iron basin of lettuce on the table and placed it on the empty seat.

“There’s no room on the table.”

Dio glared at Lettuce fiercely, strode away, and sat across from Mia.

Speedwagen looked at Dio, then at Mia: "Mia, what bad thing did Dio do again?"

Mia's eyes widened: "How do you know it's Dio who's wrong?"

Seeing the interaction between Mia and Speedwagen, Dio's cold gaze pierced over, but was ignored by the two.

Speedwagen shook his index finger in a pretentious manner: "Given your personality, Dio must have done something terrible to make you angry and ignore me."

Amused by Speedwagen's pretentiousness, Mia chuckled, "It's not a big bad thing."

Speedwagen whispered, "If you are unhappy, hit him. He can't beat you anyway."

Mia was stunned. I didn't expect you to be such a Speedwagen.

"Dio is still young, he needs to be educated well, don't spoil him too much." Speedwagen patted Mia's shoulder and lowered his voice.

After listening to Speedwagen's words, Mia fell into deep thought.

The rose tattoo was nice, but she didn't really like having a name on it.

It always feels like a puppy peeing to grab territory...

At first, she thought that since it was Dior's first tattoo, it would not be a good opportunity to discourage his enthusiasm, so she didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, that guy became even more excited.

In the morning, when the tattoo was finished, he pulled her to admire it for a long time, and her stomach growled with hunger; in the evening, when she just lay down, he ran to pull her collar...

Unbearable, no need to endure.

She spanked Dio's butt into eight pieces.

I thought Dio would be angry, but I didn't expect him to be so kind and coaxing...

Dio is naturally arrogant, and his willingness to coax people can be described as the sun rising from the west.

Mia's anger subsided a lot, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of what Speedwagon said, Mia decided to just ignore it and just let it go for now. If she didn't like Dio, she would beat him up again.

While Mia was thinking, Dio's gaze kept drifting towards her.

But Mia ignored him once, and Dio was so angry that his face turned red.

Seeing this, Goudan, Ciqing and Wenqing, who were extremely curious, winked at Speedwagen and asked about the situation.

Speedwagen received the signal and winked at the three of them.

I don’t know how they communicated, but in the end, everyone seemed to have gotten their own answers.

After a while, the banquet began in this somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Speedwagen took a sip of wine and said, "I never thought that Top Hat would get to this point... I remember when I first met you and your sister, Top Hat was almost wiped out by Cook, and there were only a few people left."

Mia picked up a piece of beef and put it in the spicy pot: "You were caught by Cook at that time and put in a cell."

Speedwagen smiled awkwardly: "I thought I was dead, but I was lucky enough to meet you and Dio."

Tattoo's face was filled with gratitude, and he said loudly: "Big sister, boss, thank you so much. At that time, we were so poor that we had no food to eat and were hunted by people every day... Fortunately, we met you and lived a good life."

Goudan nodded heavily: "It's so good now, I can buy whatever I want, eat whatever I want, and no one will look down on me wherever I go."

Speedwagen sighed: "When you think about it, life can change so much in just a few months... It's like a dream."

Mia picked up the cooked beef from the spicy hot pot and ate it with great satisfaction: "I didn't expect this before. I originally thought that it would be good enough to move out of the slums and have enough to eat every day. Now we even have hot pot."

Wen Qing's eyes were slightly red: "Yes, it's really great..."

Originally, Wen Qing was frustrated in Ghoul Street and wanted to study poisons, but he had no facilities or funds.

Later, Dio brought him back to the Top Hat and gave him the necessary research conditions.

Dio was very generous and gave Wen Qing quite a few people as experimental subjects.

There are even supernatural creatures like the zombies that ordinary people cannot come into contact with at all.

Wen Qing has made great progress in both poison and medicine.

For example, the poison on Brown's nails is unstable and the amount is small. If it is collected directly, it will not be useful in so many battles like now.

Wen Qing tried various drugs to make the venom more stable and to dilute it without reducing its toxicity as much as possible.

That's how Brown Nail's venom came in handy in Anubis's cave, the vampire castle, the warship, and the Wind Knight Town.

In short, this kind of workplace with huge funding and a large amount of research materials is the best for Wen Qing, a scientific research fanatic.

Hearing this, Dio said a few polite words and participated in the conversation.

In fact, Dior is very satisfied with the current situation.

His original plan was to save money with Mia, then go to college and become a lawyer to improve the family's financial situation.

It is clear.

The money that Topper makes in a day now is more than he could earn as a lawyer in his entire life.

Moreover, being a powerful gangster boss is much better than working as a lawyer.

To Dio, blood and adventure are not bad things.

Everyone chatted while eating. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we had a great time.

Except for the unfortunate Dio.

He was tricked by Mia into eating the beef in the spicy pot.

British people generally cannot eat spicy food, so Dio's expression was distorted after being touched by this.

In short, this meal, when everyone got together, somehow felt like home.

The next day, in the morning.

Dio woke up in his room in a very bad mood.

Since today is Diona and Johnny's date, Dio has to deal with his nemesis.
