Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Although Astoria was moved by Phoenix's domineering declaration and warm embrace, she was not completely immersed in the sweetness.

She remembered the advice her sister Daphne had given her a few days ago:

Girls need to take the initiative in a relationship so that they won't always be at a disadvantage.

This idea took root in her heart, and she decided to show her independence and strength in this relationship.

So, Astoria pouted and said in a pretended angry tone:

"Let me go and write your self-review!"

Although her voice was tough, there was a hint of mischief in her eyes.

She tried to break free from Phoenix's arms and acted as if she was unquestionable, but Phoenix thought such behavior was extremely cute.

Phoenix was amused by Astoria's sudden "counterattack".

He felt that this scene was so cute that it could melt his heart.

He gently held Astoria's head and looked lovingly into her eyes.

Then he pecked the girl's cheeks twice, making crisp "pop" sounds.

"Okay, okay, I'll write it right away. How dare I disobey my wife's orders?"

As Phoenix spoke, he pretended to be aggrieved and loosened his arms, but his eyes were full of doting and smiles.

He knew Astoria wasn't really angry, this little fight was just an intimate interaction between them.

Astoria was caught off guard by Phoenix's sudden affection.

A blush appeared on her cheeks, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a sweet smile.

She knew Phoenix was just teasing her, but the feeling of being pampered filled her heart with happiness.

But Astoria felt the heat in her earlobe, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

She glared at Phoenix with gritted teeth, her eyes containing both anger and undisguised shame.

Then, she decided to ignore the guy who made her heart beat faster.

Instead, she picked up the clothes and other items that she and Phoenix had just bought on the street and began to check them out one by one with pleasure.

These clothes were carefully selected by her, and each piece carries her expectations for the trip and her pursuit of beauty.

There are also some perfumes and cosmetics among them, which she specially prepared for this trip.

She wanted to look her best on this trip.

Phoenix noticed the redness on Astoria's earlobes, and he was secretly proud of himself, but he didn't dare to tease her any further.

He glanced at Astoria furtively and saw that the girl was concentrating on fiddling with the merchandise, her face filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Phoenix was attracted by her concentration and happiness and couldn't help but stare blankly.

He lay on the table, his eyes fixed on Astoria, but his mind began to wander.

Phoenix's thoughts drifted far away in a daze, and he unconsciously thought of Nicholas whom he had just met on the deck.

He always felt that the boy had an unusual temperament, which made him unable to help but think about it.

Phoenix was somewhat surprised by Nicholas's focus on his work, and his calmness when she saw him and Astoria.

That kind of calmness seemed to exceed the reaction of an ordinary teenager.

Phoenix recalled Nicholas's deep eyes, which seemed to hide many stories.

He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of soul was behind those eyes?

He was even a little curious about why Nicholas was working on this ship at such a young age. He must have some unknown experiences.

"That boy named Nicholas looks about my age."

Phoenix thought to himself, a hint of curiosity and sympathy in his eyes.

He imagined Nicholas's life, which must have been full of hard work and sweat, in stark contrast to his and Astoria's leisurely vacations.

"I don't know why I came to work on this ship, tut tut tut."

Phoenix shook his head inwardly, curious about the boy's choice.

He guessed that Nicholas might be trying to make a living, or to escape from something, or perhaps to find something he couldn't explain.

Phoenix feels that everyone has his or her own story, and Nicholas's story must be equally exciting.

Phoenix's mind was still wandering, and he felt a little emotional.

I felt a little inexplicable about Nicholas's calmness and the different life trajectories between them.

However, he was so absorbed in his daze that he didn't realize Astoria had noticed his distraction.

Astoria's gaze was like a sharp arrow, accurately catching Phoenix's dazed state.

She gently put down the clothes in her hands and walked quietly to Phoenix's side.

Then, her fingers deftly found the soft flesh on his waist and squeezed it hard.

"hiss!"

Phoenix felt a pain and gasped, being pulled back to reality from his thoughts.

He quickly turned around and saw Astoria's eyes that were filled with some anger, and immediately realized that he might face another "punishment".

"Wrong, wrong, I will write it right away!"

Phoenix begged for mercy quickly. His expression was both painful and funny. He obviously realized his mistake.

He knew that although Astoria looked weak, she had her own persistence and bottom line in her heart, and he didn't dare to really make her angry.

Astoria snorted coldly, with a smug smile on her face, and said:

"Write 2000 words today. You are not allowed to go to bed until you finish!"

There was an unquestionable determination in her tone, and it was obvious that she had already decided to give Phoenix a stern punishment.

Phoenix smiled helplessly, picked up the feather pen, and silently began to write a self-criticism.

His face was filled with regret, but his eyes revealed his deep love for Astoria.

He knew that this was Astoria's concern for him and also their unique way of getting along with each other.

Astoria began to fiddle with the new clothes again, a happy expression returning to her face.

She would steal a glance at Phoenix from time to time, and seeing him writing seriously, she couldn't help feeling a little sweet in her heart.

She knew that Phoenix's seriousness was not only about the review, but also about their relationship.

There was a warm and harmonious atmosphere in the room. Despite the small punishment, both of them had understanding and love for each other in their hearts.

This little episode became a little spice in their relationship, making their love more colorful.
