Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Hipper put her knuckles to her forehead and thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Affair? Talkative? Likeable stuff. I'll never learn that in my life, will I?"

Virgil squinted his eyes to examine her, with distrust in his eyes, "I kind of think you're not praising me."

"Oh, come on, do you want to keep watching?"

Virgil changed one and continued to look, "What is this?"

It was still in Theron's handwriting.

"...About the 'love' you mentioned, although I don't understand, I think I like the twin brothers and sisters very much, and I get along well with them. At least the first step has been completed, right?"

"Oh~ oh~ my dear old friend~ what's this? God, you're telling her that? I thought you'd keep it from her until a love affair happened and she was out of respect for you. I will hide my fear from you until some shameless brat elopes."

"Virgil, stop your delusions." Hipper rarely felt uncomfortable, "Why did you hide it from her? Isn't it the way of life for a smart person to prepare for what might happen?"

"What happened later? What happened later? There must be a sequel, right? How did you answer her?"

"I said that liking is a good start, but you don't necessarily need to complete it as a task. It is... like you said, it came unexpectedly, just follow the fate. After all, I am still single until now. It never felt like the right one."

"Of course, it's really scary. Theron will definitely complete the task you assigned. I'm afraid she will just pick someone who is similar and get married."

"I wouldn't make a mistake like that. Why would I ask someone else to do something I can't do myself?"

"What happened later?" Virgil was not satisfied with the conclusion that Hipper directly told, he turned over the letterhead himself, and found the reply in the third letter.

He frowned, "Why did she mention the words 'together for a lifetime'?"

"That's because I told her that there can be many people you like, but in the end there's one person that develops into love, and then or maybe into the relationship you spend your life with," Hipper said.

Virgil's eyes began to be malicious, with jokes and teasing: "I thought you didn't know! So you know this too?"

"Isn't this a very theoretical and universal model? In theory, there is nothing wrong with it, right?"

Virgil didn't speak, just stared at her, Tius also seemed to feel something, and lifted up one end of the cotton pad together.

Being stared at like this, Hipper's expression was slightly shaken. She lightly clenched her slender hands into fists, propped them on her chin, sighed, and said, "I never said that I don't want to get married or I want to be single. In my whole life, I just never met the right person. If I must describe it accurately, a person who makes me feel willing to give love.”

Virgil said: "I thought you were going to be single all your life, you never showed much interest in anyone."

"No one has yet appeared worthy of my interest."

"What would interest you?"

Hipper glanced at him strangely, as if he had asked a stupid question: "Of course, we must be able to talk first. Secondly, we should be able to understand me, or at least have the willingness to understand me. It is best to have a matching theory level, otherwise, it’s fine if you’re willing to learn for me.”

"Actually, I'm very concerned about a question. If you want to find a life partner, you have to start with the archmage, right? Is there anything you can talk to here?"

Hipper looked at him strangely again: "I can chat with any of them pretty well."

"Don't pretend to be confused, Archmage! Choose one of your favorites to develop a deeper love. This is what you summed up yourself? Isn't the first condition of your liking is to be able to talk?"

"I never said that you must choose among the archmages. That's what you said."

Virgil frowned: "Your answer today is really cunning. But I must ask, the next best thing to say, is there no one among the people you communicate with that interests you?"

"I have always been interested in their academic research."

"You know I'm not talking about that."

"Virgil, I never pry into other people's privacy, because I don't want others to do the same to me. Of course, if someone insists on telling me, that's another matter."

"But how are you going to live with someone else if you don't get to know that side of their life?"

Hipper raised a hand, "Wait a minute. I didn't say that I had to choose among these people who corresponded with each other."

"Don't you want to be able to say it! Not only your pen pal can do it?"

Hipper gave him another look in surprise: "Of course not, Virgil, I now suspect that someone other than me helped you cheat during your written test."

Virgil objected loudly: "You are doubting my character and my level! Then tell me who else you think you can talk to besides these pen pals you have corresponded with for many years!"

"Theron," Hipper said logically, "a counterexample, and you lose."

Virgil did not give up: "Isn't she also your pen pal?"

"You just said that you have been communicating all year round."

Virgil choked.

"Besides, the people I can chat with are not limited to pen pals. They are just a subset of people who have appeared and may be liked by me. Maybe strangers who are destined to chat can also chat? Don't you often chat with strangers? Are people chatting hotly?"

"You are different, do you have a hot chat with strangers?"

"You have no reason to rule out this possibility. Why reject the possibility of strangers? When each stranger appears, the probability of not chatting with me is random and independent."

Virgil said: "We have a tool called experience induction. According to my experience of going out with you so many times, I have never seen you chatting with others. And when I didn't see it..."

Hipper countered: "I get a few when I'm out alone, like when I'm going to a meeting."

"That's basically limited to your pen pals, right? They all eventually became your pen pals, the kind of people you don't know about their privacy. Can you give any counterexamples?"

Hipper gave him a very strange look again: "Of course it's Theron. The kids you catch randomly can talk to me quite well. Couldn't such a random incident make you give up on this matter?"

Virgil rolled his eyes and said, "Then I won't dwell on this question, you answer the next one: If you find someone you like, what are you going to do with the little beast? What if she doesn't accept it?"

Hipper frowned, and asked very puzzled: "She will graduate in five years at most and have her own wizard tower. Combined with my 37 years of celibacy experience, I think it is unlikely that she will be able to do so in the next five years." happened every year."

Virgil was amused, and held up Tius to pretend it was talking: "Who just said 'feelings often come unexpectedly'?"

"Wow!" Tius writhed in dissatisfaction, but his short feet couldn't reach any flat surface.

Hipper thought for a while: "I have no way to answer this at the moment. I have no way of judging the situation. Now I don't think any potential 'loved person' is more important than the little beast."

Virgil laughed loudly: "Baby face who doesn't understand style, why don't you just fall in love with the little beast!"

Hipper laughed, but the expression on his face gradually became serious, and he reprimanded his old friend in a low voice: "Virgil, don't make such an exaggerated joke."

Virgil knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly changed to another topic: "The keel is too difficult to dig. I don't know what mysterious force field is involved in the keel. The local wind element has become extremely active, and the activity of the sand dunes has intensified. Often the second You can see the buried excavation site in just one day. Archmage, don't you have time to give me some pointers?"

"Sounds interesting, I think it might have something to do with the leylines, it was supposed to be a summer excursion and I was going to take...students there. But I have to go to the party first, I haven't seen you in a long time, kinda Miss them. However, maybe everyone will come up with new and more interesting ideas, so I can’t guarantee that I’m free.”

Virgil was just trying to divert the topic, not really introducing her to work. In fact, there are many ways to deal with such an excavation site without a mage: build a "dam" on the edge of the dune, use stones to block the dune, and let the dune flow to Go elsewhere, ordinary mages can do this, there is no need to use archmages at all, and, who knows how much their archmages will charge for this?

"Looks like I have to go tomorrow?"

"If you don't mind, you can stay here forever, but Elvis will be returning to the elemental interface two days after I leave. If you don't mind cooking by yourself, you can stay until I come back."

Virgil smiled: "I can inspire it myself."

"Oh, I almost forgot. So it's settled, except for...Theron's room, you can move around wherever you want."

The embarrassment caused by the name just now obviously hasn't disappeared. The two were silent for a while, and everyone felt that something was wrong. Only Tius yelled twice.In order to hide his embarrassment, Virgil hurriedly pretended to appease Tius, and Hipper left the living room with the letter and returned to his bedroom.

She was dressed quite casually in the bedroom, lying on a soft bed with loose hair, three floating balls of light slowly rotating around the top of her head, Theron's latest letter was just opened by her, and the contents inside had not yet had time look.

This should have been posted last weekend. Theron is going to hold an exam this week, and after the exam there will be a long summer vacation.

The results of the junior school can be applied to various senior schools, and most of the students of Singaburg Junior School are admitted to the senior department of the school.

Therefore, Theron should not have time to write a letter during the exam sprint week. Thinking that he will not receive a letter from Theron at this time next week, Hipper is not interested in "next weekend".
