She received the gift of God [Greek mythology]

what's the situation?Taboo love triangle?

Pandora tried hard to control her expression, and took a big bite of bread.

Hermes seemed to be waiting for her reaction. He pretended to be drinking coffee solemnly, but actually admired her expression openly, his smiling eyes were exposed on the top of the cup.By the way, he drank black coffee.

Feeling being teased, Pandora silently turned her face away.

At the same time, Aphrodite crossed her long legs, leaning lazily on the side of the kitchen island, flicking the phone screen while drinking fruit and vegetable juice.But it didn't take long for her to stand upright, a glass in one hand and a smartphone in the other, and she walked back and forth in front of the window on the other side of the kitchen.And Ares, who had already had breakfast, sat back to the seat just now. He didn't carry any electronic products on his body, so he watched Aphrodite pacing back and forth in front of him unabashedly.When the two of them met their eyes occasionally, Aphrodite would wink at her, and Ares' expression softened for a few seconds.

A combination of handsome men and beautiful women is of course seductive, but it will inevitably make people in the same room restless—at least Pandora cannot take her eyes off this pair of lovers whose relationship is a mystery.

Then, caught off guard, Aphrodite turned her head and met Pandora's gaze.

Pandora froze in embarrassment, and hurriedly picked up the glass, only to find that the milk was gone.The number of props that can be used to disguise is reduced by one.You don't need to turn your head to know that Hermes must be looking at her and smiling secretly.

Aphrodite stuffed most of the fruit and vegetable juice into Ares' hands: "I'm full, drink it up for me." Ares slowly brought the juice glass to his lips without raising his eyebrows .He seemed quite used to this kind of thing.Aphrodite walked over abruptly and squeezed directly between the chairs of Pandora and Hermes.

Wow——I can feel the beauty and aura of this weapon level even more at a close distance.Did staring at Aphrodite offend her?Pandora couldn't help pulling back. When the chair moved, it rubbed against the ground and made a strange noise. She shivered physiologically.

Aphrodite propped one hand on the table, leaning slightly towards Pandora.The high-grade floral fragrance emanating from the hair and skin of the beauty in red immediately enveloped her head, just right, not choking, but the base tone is rich and vivid, very memorable.Just like Aphrodite.

"The first time I saw you, I wanted to say, you are so cute, you are my type. Let's go out on a date sometime."

Pandora didn't respond.Or it could just be usurped by the sheer beauty of the face approaching.

She opened her mouth, and the promised words were about to fly out of her lips without authorization.

Another harsh chair dragging noise came from behind Aphrodite.

Hermes propped his hands on the edge of the table, lifted the front legs of the chair like a swing, leaned back his upper body, passed Aphrodite, and looked at Pandora.He still had an expression of watching the show.

"Hermes, you are as bad-hearted as ever, and you directly occupied the position next to her when you entered the door." Aphrodite said, turning around and trying to push Hermes.He folded his arms deftly, and the chair landed on all fours again, just avoiding her false push.

Aphrodite didn't care, she turned to Pandora, raised her hand and flirted with the blond hair that fell to her cheeks coquettishly, her red tongue quickly licked her lower lip, her voice lowered ambiguously: "Do you think I How about your proposal? I just happen to be free tomorrow, let's go out together, I promise...it will be fun. Huh? Okay?"

I don't know why, but Pandora's heart was full of alarm bells.When stared at by these beautiful big light blue eyes, she felt a sense of danger of stepping into a trap.Aphrodite couldn't handle it at her current level.Refusing is afraid of offending the beauty and making Ares unhappy, but agreeing always feels that something is wrong.It's not good, it's not good, if you continue to look at each other, your brain will be melted by the beauty rays.

"Uh...Thank you for inviting me, but—" Pandora's eyes fluttered, just in time to see Hermes gently move the tableware away, spread his upper body on the countertop, propping his forehead with his left hand, from Afu Lodite poked her head at an angle she couldn't see, and winked at her with a smile.

She tried to use her eyes to convey the meaning of asking for relief, but the other party tilted her head innocently, with a face of "I don't understand what you are talking about".Pandora almost couldn't hold back her expression and rolled her eyes at him.

"But?" Aphrodite followed Pandora's gaze and turned her head.

Hermes looked up and lied to her without changing his expression: "But unfortunately, she has already been booked by me. Tomorrow will be all day."

"Really?" Aphrodite looked at Pandora.

"Yes, we had an appointment last night."

Aphrodite sighed regretfully, and gave up readily: "Then there is no other way. Um, but, Hermes, she is only here for the second day, and you have already gotten close enough to temporarily cooperate." It's a complete lie. What is this? Sneaking away?"

She obviously saw through the lie, but didn't seem to care about it.

Pandora was stunned for a moment because of Aphrodite's question.Indeed, when she wanted to round things up, her first reaction was to look at Hermes.Among the unique residents of No. 1212 Agra Avenue, (except for the aunt Hestia who just met today) the one who gets along relatively well is Hermes, and he has helped her, and he talked with her yesterday A few words about family.When encountering problems in a new environment, it is natural to turn to the most familiar person for help.

Hermes smiled, showing his white and neat teeth, and first played a game of words: "In terms of running, of course no one can beat me." After a pause, he asked himself a serious question : "Well... why? Probably because I found Pandora wandering around the door, and then picked her up and brought her home?"

Pandora couldn't help but raise the bar: "Please don't make me look like a small animal waiting to be rescued."

He raised his hands, but suddenly became polite: "No offense intended."

She had no choice but to answer: "Nothing, I was not offended."

Aphrodite laughed softly: "Okay, I'll retreat this time. After all, I hate forcing, but—" She put her hair back on one shoulder, blinked her right eye at Pandora, and her electric eyes were full of charm Shoot: "I will be a thousand times better lover than this kid, if you change your mind, let me know anytime."

"...?"

Not sure if she was joking or serious.

"But let's go shopping together next time. One of my hobbies is dressing up pretty girls. In this regard, you can have [-]% confidence in me." Saying that, Aphrodite left Going back to Ares, cupping his face as if nothing happened, putting his lips to his lips, "Then I'll go home, ciaobello." (Italian: Bye, handsome guy)

Ares pulled her over and kissed again: "See you later."

After Aphrodite left lightly, Ares also stood up, nodded, turned and walked out.

Pandora couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Hestia disappeared at some point, and suddenly there were only her and Hermes left in the kitchen.He got up and refilled himself a cup of coffee, and turned back with the coffee pot: "Do you want to have a cup too?"

"Ah, yes. Thank you." Pandora lowered her eyes, and broke the other bun that she hadn't had a chance to eat for a long time, as if she was studying the internal structure of the fluffy dough.A white porcelain cup was placed in front of her, along with small milk and sugar pots.

"After that, you can choose a cup for your own use." Hermes sat down again, and took a sip of coffee slowly.

She brought the black coffee to her nose and smelled it, and finally added milk silently.Before the other party had a chance to laugh at her, she asked first, "So...?"

"So what?" Hermes began to play dumb.This person's personality seems to be much worse than the first impression.

"Aphrodite..."

"She is indeed Hephaestus' girlfriend, but as you can see, she is indeed in a relationship with Ares. Well... probably, she doesn't mind getting acquainted with you from dating."

"That's what you call an open relationship?"

Hermes thought for a while: "Maybe it's not accurate enough. That's Aphrodite's way of life. As long as it is someone or something that makes her feel beautiful, she is willing to give her love. Age, gender, background, race and even Species probably don't matter. And her love is equal, as long as the person who accepts this love doesn't care that there are other objects with similar positions to her, it should be fine."

"Is there really no problem..."

Pandora tried to think about it.Won't you be tortured by jealousy?

"At least as far as I know, they all start with a full understanding and acceptance that they're not the only ones."

"I see..." Pandora suddenly noticed a certain detail and tilted her head in doubt, "But why did she say that she was Hephaestus' girlfriend when she introduced herself? Isn't that a special treatment?"

Hermes didn't answer right away.She looked at it in surprise, and he smiled meaningfully: "You have the ability to hit the key point directly. I can only say this, after all, it is someone else's private life."

The gentleman seemed to know many secrets.

Pandora took a sip of the coffee cup with both hands, and looked at the electronic clock on the countertop.After a few waves of people coming and going, it was just after 07:30. "Everyone here gets up early."

"Who else did you meet before I happened to come in with them both?"

"First Ares, then Athena, and of course, Hestia."

"Ares only gets up that early with Aphrodite, because she does Pilates in the morning. Athena is an extremely disciplined person who wakes up early every day. Hestia will come back after baking bread. The room didn’t get up until almost noon.” Hermes knew the rest of the mansion very well. “As for the twins, Artemis will go downstairs in about half an hour, and Apollo is still sleeping. And don't eat breakfast."

Shouldn't he who writes songs in praise of the sun greet the sunrise himself...

Pandora followed the other person's words and asked casually: "Then what about you? Why do you get up so early?"

"Morning jogs. It dawns early in summer, and I love the early morning light."

"So you run twice a day?"

"Oh, yesterday was a special occasion. If I didn't go out for a run, Apollo would drag me to sit in the first row and listen to the whole rehearsal." Hermes made a grimace, "It happened that it rained a little yesterday morning. Fit for a run, I have an excuse to slip away."

Thinking of Apollo's band, Pandora chuckled, and then sighed sincerely: "If it weren't for special circumstances that made you pass by, maybe I would have gone to the donut shop all night last night."

Hermes was stunned, then smiled and agreed as if nothing had happened: "That's right, fortunately it rained yesterday morning, fortunately Apollo chose to hold a rehearsal party last night."
