After the theoretical ‘half hour’
Game time AM07:06
City of Freedom, No Night Zone Traveler Hostel, First Floor Lobby
"Gui'an, Mr. Junwu."
The girl with short light blond shoulder-length hair and a delicate and sweet appearance gracefully saluted the half-elf man behind the counter, then took out a golden voucher from her pocket and placed it on the counter. She smiled gently and peacefully: "Yes." Please send a message to tell sir that the second batch of funds from the donor has been received."
Jun Wu casually picked up the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce ticket and glanced at it, held his flat gold mirror with his palm, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Well, I have finished sending the message, but... what does this mean? ?”
Putting the voucher worth 20,000 gold coins back on the counter, Boss Jun, who in the eyes of countless people regarded wealth as life, looked at the girl with calm eyes.
"It's nothing interesting, just a little bit of insignificant gratitude."
The girl with a clean temperament smiled sweetly and said softly: "You are my husband's friend, and you have been helping us in all aspects. Although my husband doesn't say these things, he is always thinking about them in his heart."
Jun Wu burst out laughing, and then he hid behind the counter, covering his mouth and trembling with joy for a long time. It is conceivable that if it weren't for the fact that there were already many customers in the store, he would You might even make your throat go hoarse from laughing.
The girl standing in front of the counter just continued to smile calmly and did not react in any way to the former's exaggerated laughter.
In this way, Jun Wu laughed for two minutes, then he stood up straight again while rubbing the corners of his mouth, and said narrowly to the girl in front of him: "Miss Ai, do you know that you almost let me hurt your face?" Are you laughing so hard?"
"Mr. Junwu has a great sense of humor."
Although he was not named in the [Harlequin Card], Sun Priest Ai Vanye, who now seemed to have become the organization's spokesman for the Free City, blinked and laughed in agreement.
"No, no, it's not me who has a sense of humor."
Jun Wu immediately shook his head violently, and while waving his hands desperately, he said with a smile: "It's you, Miss Ai, if nothing else, Tan Mo thinks of me well, do you believe it?"
Unexpectedly, the girl nodded without hesitation and continued to smile: "That's natural."
"Well……"
Jun Wu was immediately stunned and said in astonishment: "Don't tell me that this 'gratitude' was given to me on his instruction."
"You can say that."
Xiao Ai continued to nod and said in her usual quiet and gentle voice: "Although from an objective point of view this is my own decision, since Mr. decided to leave the Free City to me temporarily, before You have also been introduced to me, so at this moment I am enough to represent your husband’s will, and the fact that he did not specifically ask me not to do this is the best proof.”
Jun Wu stared at the girl's clear eyes for a long time, and then helplessly put his hand on the gold coin chamber of commerce certificate worth 20,000 gold coins: "As agreed in advance, although I can accept your 'gratitude' with a smile, But you must know that even without this link, the cooperative relationship between Tan Mo and I is still very strong. From another perspective, if something happens to break up the cooperation between us, it is not just 20,000 gold coins. You can make me change my mind, understand?"
In the end, Xiao Ai just said with a relaxed face: "The matter between you and your husband is not something that people like us can comment on."
"Oh, that's nice to say."
Jun Wu shook his head, put away the voucher on the counter, and glanced at Xiao Ai: "Now you don't need to use the 'sir's intention' as an excuse just now."
Xiao Ai just smiled and said nothing.
"You kid, logically speaking, you should still be of school age, right?"
Jun Wu, who is also a student outside the game, leaned on the counter with his arms folded. Opposite him was a girl who was obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old. The childishness on her face had not yet faded, but she was already in her own right in every sense. He said: "Is it appropriate to work under that guy and deal with unscrupulous people like us every day? Do you want me to talk to that guy Tan Mo and let you..."
"It's okay, Mr. Junwu."
Xiao Ai gently interrupted the other party, and said softly but firmly: "I always think that serving Mr. is my honor and my destiny."
Jun Wu was not surprised, he just nodded while touching the tip of his nose: "Okay, okay, I know that I am really nosy, and everyone can see that you really want to follow him."
"but……"
Xiao Ai suddenly smiled and said with a wink, "If I want to retire early in a few years, I'll ask Mr. Jun Wu to put in a good word for me."
"This worldly thing... tsk tsk."
Jun Wu, who thought he was already precocious enough, smacked his lips and then changed the topic: "You must have heard that a tavern in Erlin District was razed to the ground last night."
Xiao Ai immediately realized that Mr. Jun Wu planned to provide him with some favors, and immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Well, although I am not as well-informed as you, I also got the news this morning."
"It belongs to a secretive organization under the Wealth Sect. Although I don't know much about it, the one who took action yesterday is 100% the Saint of Wealth who was just hit by you and is probably very angry, Fiyali... Graham."
Jun Wu mixed a can of juice by himself and said in a calm tone: "Theoretically, there is no room for intervention in the internal problems of the Wealth Church. After all, the two BUFFs of 'Religion' and 'Gray Zone' are stacked In the end, it’s basically the same as the rocks in the pit, but...hey, Xiao Liu, help me get some ice cubes.”
"I'll do it. Sister Liu Mu, keep busy."
Xiao Ai immediately went behind the counter, and while letting Yu Ying take a temporary 'vacation', the intern Liu Mu Qinkobel, who was so busy every day, continued to entertain the guests, while using a not very skillful but deft movement to get out of the wine cabinet. He took out a bowl of finely crushed ice cubes and handed it to Jun Wu: "Here you go."
"Thanks, bring me a bottle of lime juice and two dragon snake fruits. Oh, and silver scissors by the way. You can't drink dragon snake fruits without removing the tails."
Jun Wu was not polite. After taking the ice cubes, he fiddled with the shaker and casually ordered: "The lime juice is packed in a black porcelain bottle with a silver bottom. As for the dragon snake fruit, it is in the white basket at the back. Silver Go ask Crowe for the scissors."
"Okay, Mr. Junwu."
Xiao Ai immediately nodded obediently, picked up a spare apron from Yuying from under the counter, and started working.
Perhaps it's because I have been dealing with various documents at Keyworth Manor almost every day recently that would give ordinary people a headache just looking at them. When bundled into a pile, they are even taller than themselves. To Yuying and others, this kind of documents is nothing more than a pile of documents. Suffering work is a special experience for Xiao Ai. Even if it is just a job like helping to get some materials and props, it is difficult for people to find it novel, but it makes her nerves that have been tense for who knows how long rarely relax. There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"..."
Even Jun Wu failed to detect his whereabouts. Cole, who blended in naturally into the crowd, immediately retracted the half-stepped step after the girl raised her lips unconsciously, giving up the idea of helping Xiao Ai.
Although in Cole Shuren's eyes, he is far more suitable for physical work than Xiao Ai, he also knows that sitting behind the sandalwood table and dealing with those documents is not an easy job, so even though it is definitely far away from those things for him, The parchment full of intrigues should be kept as far away as possible, but occasionally moving around might not be a bad thing for Xiao Ai.
[Speaking of which, has she not been able to sleep well recently... She just received the allowance before. After work in the evening, she will go to the Thieves Guild to buy two pieces of beeswax with better texture. Then let Li Miss Zi took advantage of Xiao Ai to go to the street committee with the Countess tomorrow and put it into the incense burner in her room. 】
While quietly watching Xiao Ai's busy figure in the corner, Cole, who became Xiao Ai's personal guard after Mu Xuejian temporarily left the Free City, secretly made up his mind.
He knew very well that his best friend, who was originally as pure as a blank sheet of paper and had a timid and introverted personality, did not force himself. In fact, Ai Fanye had already proven through actions that he was qualified to replace their always elusive gentleman on the chessboard. Up and down.
Unlike myself, who never made any progress, the girl who would only hide behind Radha and Lorna and sniffle even if she was wronged, had gone too far without even realizing it.
[If my use value to my husband is five, then Xiao Ai must be at least ninety, haha, thinking about it this way, it’s really a bit of a shock~]
Cole watched the familiar figure cheerfully walking into the kitchen with soft eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Of course, it was impossible for him to be jealous of the girl who left Pato City with him and followed her husband into the dark side of the world. In fact, he didn't even envy her.
Cole just felt a little distressed, because that girl could have forgotten all that and lived a stable and happy life. He knew that if he was the only one who left his husband that day, then Cole Shuren would definitely think about it at this moment. Try your best to let Ai Fanye live a carefree life.
In fact, in addition to the necessary savings, Cole will send his 'salary' to his uncle in Pato City through different channels every once in a while, and occasionally attach a letter or two from home.
Cole has always insisted that his home is with his husband, and the Rye Hotel in the southern part of Pato City is his home.
[I didn’t expect that my uncle and Ms. Lei Duo would officially get married... I don’t know if I can go back then. It would be great if I could take Xiao Ai and my husband back with me. 】
Recalling the letter that passed into his hands a few days ago, the corners of Cole's mouth also raised slightly, even though his Uncle Bayes said in the letter that he was forced to take responsibility, and also said that if Ms. Ledo hadn't used There was no way he would surrender after the magic hung him from the beam for two days and two nights, but the young man could still detect the happiness lingering between the lines.
Although at first glance it seems that we are no longer in the same world, home is actually always there.
However... although there will definitely be a place for Cole in Bayes and Ledo's 'new home', the meaning is still different after all.
Cole blinked in a daze, his thoughts gradually becoming trance-like.
He was thinking about 'his' home, not Uncle Bayes, Ms. Ledo and his own home, but 'his' home.
There is no doubt that that 'home' will be somewhere very close to Mr., and there should be a training room that can prepare medicines and sort information, a warehouse filled with food (and maybe a little wine), and a A guest room that would probably change its furnishings frequently, a secret room under a trap door, a warm fireplace, a hostess——
【Lona...】
Cole narrowed his eyes slightly, just as he did every time when his thoughts arose in the past, the familiar figure in his memory clearly appeared in his mind again.
However, what was clear was only her figure, but her face was...somewhat blurry for some reason.
…
"Long time no see, Ms. Fanye."
Crowe, who was busy in the kitchen, said hello to the girl who just walked in without looking back. While pruning half a bundle of bamboo shoot-like vegetables, he asked: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Good morning, Mr. Crow. Boss Junwu asked me to get the silver scissors."
Xiao Ai blinked and asked curiously: "But why do you know that the person who came in is me?"
"Because I have always been connected to the vision of many 'friends' at the same time during this period. Ever since the last time Yuying's apron...oh yes, it's the one you are wearing, ever since that thing was almost taken away by a perverted guest. , I have been playing the role of... a snake with an elephant head."
Crowe shrugged and said in a brisk tone: "Although it is only voluntary labor, considering Yu Ying and Liu Mu, I still accepted this job, just in time to exercise myself. Always, if you are in the hotel There are a few ravens found in some corners, please don’t worry, they are all good children and they love to be clean.”
Xiao Ai smiled, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Mr. Crowe, I will remember to bring snacks to those good children when I come next time."
"I'm using the silver scissors. You can sit over there and wait for two minutes."
Crowe turned his head and gave little Abby a thumbs up, then patted his forehead lightly as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a narrow smile: "By the way, there is a guest who has not looked at you since you entered the hotel. Move away from your face, if you mind, I can help you get rid of him later."
When Xiao Ai heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "This...should affect business, right?"
"I don't think so. After all, that person is not a qualified consumer at first glance."
"Then please leave it to Mr. Crow. To be honest, unlike Miss Yuying, I have never been very good at dealing with that kind of person."
"No problem. Although brother Cole has made a lot of progress recently, I can still take care of him casually."
"Ah! Mr. Crowe, is the person you are talking about..."
"Hahahaha, as your bodyguard, he is obviously a bit too dedicated."
"Mr. Crowe... is really evil."
"It's bad to be close to Mo. Anyway, I'll give him to him soon..."
"Mr. Crowe!"
"Just a joke~ Just a joke~"
