Phoenix shook his head slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and said:

"I still have to go."

There was a subtle anxiety in his voice.

Because he was not yet completely sure that he could create a completely new magic.

This goal is both a challenge and a dream for him, and he longs to achieve it even though the road ahead is full of unknowns and difficulties.

Astoria looked at Phoenix with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She said with a smile:

"It's not easy to make you so hardworking!"

There was a hint of teasing in her words, but they were also full of admiration for him.

She knew that Phoenix always liked to take it easy and be lazy whenever possible.

But now he was able to persist in going to the library to study for a month, which was a huge surprise to her.

Phoenix sighed helplessly and thought silently in his heart:

"It's all for you, otherwise why would I want to create my own magic."

He knew that creating his own magic was a complicated and time-consuming process.

It would require a lot of research and experimentation, but he was willing to try and work hard for Astoria.

"After all, creating your own magic is a very troublesome thing!"

He added silently in his heart, but pretended to be angry on the surface and retorted:

"Can't I be a naturally hardworking person?"

There was a hint of joking in his voice, trying to lighten the mood.

Astoria couldn't help but laugh at Phoenix's pretended anger.

She patted his shoulder gently and said soothingly:

"Okay, okay, we Phoenix are the most hardworking!"

Her voice was full of tenderness and encouragement, and she knew that Phoenix's efforts were for their common future.

Phoenix looked at Astoria helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of grievance of being misunderstood.

He felt like he was being treated like a child again, which made him feel a little amused and helpless.

He was about to complain and express his dissatisfaction when he was suddenly interrupted.

Alison suddenly appeared in front of them, her eyes fixed on Phoenix, and she said with a hint of seriousness and urgency in her tone:

"Mr. Phoenix, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Although her voice was gentle, the firmness revealed in it could not be ignored.

Astoria's brows furrowed slightly, her first impression of Alison was not good.

In her eyes, Alison's behavior always carried a kind of affectation and insincerity, which reminded her of a word Phoenix once told her - green tea.

The word echoed in her mind, making her impression of Alison even more negative.

Astoria felt a surge of dissatisfaction in her heart, she felt that Alison's appearance disturbed her and Phoenix's peaceful time.

Without waiting for Phoenix to respond, she stood up angrily and said with a hint of challenge in her tone:

"If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

There was a protective tone in her voice, she didn't want Phoenix to be disturbed in any unnecessary way.

Phoenix frowned slightly, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

He was familiar with the name Alison Burke, not only because they had met once before, but also because Draco had mentioned her to him in private.

Draco once mentioned that Alison was the daughter of Platinum Burke from Knockturn Alley and a member of a pure-blood family.

This identity left Phoenix with a deeper impression of her.

Alison did not choose to argue with Astoria, and she seemed to realize that direct confrontation was not a wise option.

Her voice was trembling as she said pitifully:

"It's just... I just have a question that I want to ask Phoenix-san."

There was a vulnerability in her eyes, as if she was seeking help and support.

There is a kind of fragility in Alison's temperament that makes people want to protect her involuntarily. Her beauty and fragility can easily impress those naive little boys.

In many people's memories, Alison is like the white moonlight during school days, beautiful but out of reach.

However, Phoenix is ​​not one of those impressionable little schoolboys.

His experiences in his previous life had made him see too many girls like Alison, and his heart had long been immune to those who appeared weak on the surface but might actually have other intentions.

He looked at Alison quietly, his eyes calm and deep, without any fluctuations due to her appearance or tone.

Astoria saw Phoenix's calm expression and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned to look at Alison, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and said in a firm tone:

"Then you can talk about it here. Phoenix's business is my business."

Alison cursed inwardly:

"This Greengrass is such a nuisance!"

But he still kept a smile on his face and said carefully:

"Um...it seems like Phoenix and you haven't officially established a relationship yet?"

Astoria felt a little unhappy when she heard this, but she still looked indifferent.

She curled her lips slightly, thinking, isn't this deliberately trying to sow discord between her and Phoenix?

Doesn't this mean that she and Phoenix are not in a confirmed boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so she is meddling in other people's business?

However, Astoria did not directly refute Alison, but smiled and said confidently:

"Although we haven't officially confirmed our relationship, I believe in Phoenix's feelings for me and he won't leave me easily."

Although Astoria could have just told Alison that she and Phoenix were engaged.

In this way, not only can the other party be humiliated, but you can also feel proud.

However, Astoria was very curious about why Alison came to Phoenix.

After all, there were always people thinking about her Phoenix, which made her feel uneasy and unable to eat or sleep.

So, she decided to be patient for a while and see what Alison wanted to say.

[Please urge for updates, give rewards, and follow up. Thank you all readers! 】

?(?????)? ?????? ???

【Please readers, please give me some food! 】

【Thank you readers! 】

?? (????? ? ????) ??

[First, I would like to apologize to all the readers.

It was indeed my fault that this book was discontinued, and I will not shirk this responsibility.

However, I think my reasons are understandable.

On the day I stopped updating, my father suddenly said that his legs and feet were not working properly and he had no strength, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up.

I'm sure you've guessed the result: something really happened.

The diagnosis was that he had a cerebral infarction and he has been hospitalized. He has been busy doing CT scans, MRIs, etc. these days.

I changed two hospitals, so I didn't have time to update.

Alas, life is so unpredictable.

And I was out of town, and yesterday my mother suddenly told me that there was an earthquake in my hometown.

Although they said nothing happened, it was a natural disaster after all, so it is impossible to say that we are not worried.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters seem to befall me in an instant, it’s really... Alas!

Finally, I still want to apologize to all the readers. After all, I promised that I would not stop updating, but now I have broken my promise. This is my mistake.

However, I am not a person who gives up, so I will continue writing this book. 】
