She received the gift of God [Greek mythology]

After more than two months of school, the autumn vacation is over, but No. 1212 Agra is more deserted than usual:

Athena passed the bar exam in the summer and is currently in the midst of a busy internship in a state court, and moved out at the end of August for the convenience of commuting; Ares is out this month on a security list; After that, I went back to the school I was studying at; Dionysus, as a college student, seemed to go to Europe to make a movie after only two weeks of class, which really made people worry about his grade point.As for the blond twins, Artemis was arrested for a training camp and would not be able to return until the day after tomorrow, while Apollo received Daphne’s first reply in many years ten days ago, and he disappeared that night and is currently in a state of being out of touch.

In other words, the only current residents of the mansion are Pandora, Hermes and Hestia.The state of gathering when Pandora first arrived was a rare state in a year.Picking this time when there were few people, Hestia decided to go on a three-day camping and self-driving tour with his old friends.

Pandora didn't think much at first, and after saying goodbye to Hestia in the morning, she was busy finishing the reading report due after the holiday.It wasn't until she went downstairs and walked into the kitchen in the evening that she felt a little nervous.

"It's just in time, I was just about to send a message asking if you want to have dinner." Hermes stood in front of the stove and turned his head.On the stove is a pot of water waiting to be boiled, with ingredients such as pancetta and eggs next to it.

His appearance was quite fresh, and Pandora became curious: "Are you going to make spaghetti?"

"Bacon and egg sauce noodles (Carboni), there are ingredients in the refrigerator. You don't have any prejudice against it, do you?"

"Classic taste, how can I have any objection." She wandered to Hermes, watching him skillfully cut the bacon into small cubes, "So you know how to cook."

"Know the basics." He washed and dried his hands and knives, and neatly picked out the egg yolks and beat them into a large glass bowl. "It won't take long to do this. You might as well sit and play with your phone for a while."

Pandora gave him a white look: "Let me help too."

"Then trouble you to dehydrate the washed lettuce over there."

There are special kitchen gadgets, and this is a matter of tens of seconds.Pandora put the processed lettuce into the salad bowl and poured the vinaigrette that Hermes had prepared.mission completed.With a glance, she saw that he had not only put the noodles into the pan, but had also heated up a pan to start frying the bacon.

"You don't wear an apron?"

"Oh yes," Hermes smiled at him, put on the apron by the door, and looked back harmlessly, "Please help me tie it."

I always feel that this person is doing it on purpose.Knowing this, Pandora still walked behind him and fastened the belt for him.Then, she took the initiative to lean forward and pressed her forehead against his back.

When the bacon is put into the pot, it makes a greedy sizzling sound, and the aroma dissipates.There was a little smile in his words: "You just lean on and don't move, don't poke your head out, it will be bad if the oil splashes on you."

"Ah."

Speechless for a while.

Pandora closed her eyes.Being so attached was like charging, and to be honest, she was reluctant to leave.Through the knitted sweater and shirt, the body temperature in the center of the young man's shoulder blades became clearer. If he moved a little, he could even vaguely feel the lines of his back muscles.Exciting.And the white noise of cooking, reminding her what a mundane yet precious everyday moment, just for the two of them.Unspeakable reverie uncontrollably emerges from the Lake of Heart, so it seems...

Hermes turned off the fire, and the sinful murmur of the delicious fat in the pot gradually died down.On the other side, the timer ticks, and the noodles are ready to be cooked.He coughed lightly: "I'm going to move."

She stepped back, hastily moving the salad bowl to the kitchen island, not daring to turn to look at him.Every time she took the initiative to act like a baby, the other party would take the opportunity to expand the one-point matter to three-five points before giving up.

Hermes skillfully completed the last few steps, and then served on the table.

He propped his head up with a fork, and pressed the cutlery to the corner of his lips, staring at Pandora without blinking, waiting for her to take the first bite.

"It's delicious!" She didn't hesitate to praise, and he fiddled with the food on his plate in satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, before Artemis came back, there were only you and me in this house." Hermes was obviously in a good mood, and he suddenly said these words in the middle of eating, and smiled brightly at her, It seems to be implying something, but it seems to be just lamenting the facts.

Pandora took a sip of water: "Indeed." She blinked her eyes: "What are you going to do tonight?"

His answer made her slightly relieved, but she also felt a little indescribably disappointed: "Do you want to play games together?"

"Okay, if you don't mind me playing badly."

Before playing console racing games online with the twins in the living room, Pandora lost terribly.Maybe she is not suitable for games that test speed and passion, but she is easy to get bored when picking up branches and building islands slowly.

Hermes knew her previous record well: "I will teach you, so that you can crush Apollo next time."

So why is this gentleman obsessed with overpowering a certain elder brother in every way?

After eating and packing up the tableware and kitchen utensils, Pandora went upstairs to take a shower and changed into her pajamas before going downstairs to play games.Hermes had already turned on the big screen and the host, and lay directly on the carpet in a daze.

Living under the same roof for several months, the residents are inevitably very familiar with each other's home styling.Hermes seems to like to wear dark colors, and even the home clothes are mainly plain black.But the dark color does accentuate his slender but not thin physique, and his pale complexion with a translucent texture.Pandora also couldn't deny that she really couldn't help but look at him for a few more seconds when he was wearing black.Like now.

She walked over and knelt down lightly, couldn't hold back, and reached out to rub his hair.

Hermes blinked back to his senses, stood halfway up with his elbows on his back, reached out to support Pandora's cheeks, and naturally pulled her down, with his lips against his lips.

This position will be tiring after a long kiss, so it is just superficial.Pandora was a little used to his clingy cat-like physical intimacy, and sat beside him: "Waiting for me for a long time?"

"Fortunately, the time to look forward to something always passes quickly." Hermes teased her without changing his expression, only his green eyes gleamed viciously and happily.Pandora ignored him, and pressed the handle to select the game mode: "You teach me how to run so that I don't crash outside the track all day long."

"Okay." Hermes stretched his arms around her shoulders from behind, went around to the other side and directly manipulated the handle, changing to single-player mode.This was not enough, he simply moved behind her, shared a lazy sofa bag with her, wrapped her whole body between her legs, arms and three sides of her chest, wrapped her hands holding the handle with his palms: "directly Take you for a run to feel it."

His attitude was so natural that Pandora didn't realize that this posture was a bit awkward until the colorful go-karts on the screen ate buffs and galloped around the track for two full laps: her back was on her chest, her hands were folded, Hermes' His chin brushed against her hair every now and then.The faint smell of shower gel enveloped her afterwards.She couldn't hear what he was saying, and he was probably teaching her how to choose the right time to throw debuffs at the players behind the car.

It's also been almost two months since the relationship became official, but one of Artemis' previous gifts was still lying quietly and awkwardly at the bottom of her bathroom towel basket.Pandora became uncomfortable, and slightly adjusted her sitting posture, but the more she adjusted, the harder it was to calm down.

Hermes froze suddenly.The go-kart nearly flew out of the corner.

She quickly understood what was going on, and under the leadership of Hermes, her mind was numb, and the driving handle drove the track with no one in front of her like a police movie drifting and colliding.Then, she raised her hips and moved forward a little as if nothing had happened.

It's like a signal.

Hermes suddenly let go of the go-kart on the screen, wrapped his arms around her waist and tightened, and rubbed his face against her neck: "Pandora..."

His breath fell on his cheeks and neck: "It's just you and me now."

With trembling hands, she made a U-turn where she shouldn't be turning, and watched the car that was originally number one flying off the track.

Hermes didn't speak anymore, and waited until she couldn't help lowering her eyes to look at him, and then slowly uttered the question, her green eyes seemed to support two piles of vigorous bonfires: "Would you like to go to my room?" ?”

Big characters popped up on the screen: gameover

But the handle has been thrown to the ground.The gloating sound of the game's failure slightly drowns out the creaking of stairs as a door opens and closes.

It wasn't the first time that Pandora had visited Hermes' room. She came in more than once when she checked the documents he kept about the trailblazer and car accident investigations.But the situation is different, and the details noticed are naturally different.For example, there is a small cloth bag on the back of the photo frame on the bedside table, and the calming aroma of lavender floats out from it.However, the soothing effect of vanilla has no effect now.

Hermes lowered down to kiss her, and quickly sensed her nervousness, so he changed his target and lay face to face with her.He was nervous anyway, and he didn't want to make a bad impression on her at an important moment.It's like animal cubs licking each other's fur mainly to convey goodwill and trust, and the intention of comforting each other is more than others.

What I like, what I don’t like, what has been approved, what needs to be explored and then judged, such as doing map surveying, sweeping unknown areas, marking and recording them one by one.

"Is this the case for people who often run long distances? They look very thin, but in fact..."

"Actually?"

Pandora considered her words: "The lines are very obvious, it looks and feels very—" Her train of thought was interrupted by the rustling sound of unpacking the plastic packaging, and she couldn't connect at all.

■

Pandora was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone.

She touched it in a daze, but the height of the bedside table was different from what she was used to, and she only touched a corner.She woke up a little bit, and wanted to get up to get her cell phone from the pocket of the fluffy coat on the ground, but one leg was pressing down on her so aggressively that she couldn't get rid of it. She could only lean out her upper body like fishing on a cliff, and struggled to get the coat and cell phone .She usually does this movement when she stays in bed, but today it is particularly difficult.Both sprinters and feline cats are known for their explosive power, while long-distance running tests endurance. It seems reasonable for long-distance running big cats to have both.

"Huh...? So noisy..." A drawn-out murmur echoed in my ears, half asleep and half awake, the unhappiness of being disturbed from my dream was about to overflow.Pandora was brought back to its original position, grasped by hands and feet together, like a huge pillow.This was not enough, the tip of his nose was still rubbing against her hair.

When she got the phone as she wished, the ringing tone had already stopped.

Looking at the time, it's not yet seven o'clock in the morning, and indeed it's not time to get up.

The missed call is from Epimetheus.

Before Pandora sent a text message to ask something, another call came in from the guardian.

She cleared her throat: "What, cough, what's the matter? Calling so early?"

Epimetheus also sounded extremely dazed: "Prometheus is sitting in my kitchen right now."

Pandora's mind froze for half a second: "...what??"

"Your father, er, adoptive father, is here with me now. He suddenly appeared this morning. Do you want to buy a ticket and come back quickly? I don't know if he will suddenly disappear again."

"I see, keep an eye on him, I'll book the nearest flight back," Pandora couldn't help emphasizing her voice louder, "Be sure to keep an eye on him! I have a lot of questions to ask him!"

"No problem, no problem, even if I relieve him, I won't leave him alone."

"..."

"See you soon, Pandora, I think he also wants to see you."

"See you."

Hanging up the phone, Pandora turned her head.Hermes didn't know when he was fully awake, and he didn't know how many emotional conversations between guardians and wards he had heard.

"I'll book tickets for you. Members at home can give priority to seat selection and check-in for boarding." He grabbed his phone and began to operate quickly. The fluorescent screen reflected two white dots in his eyes, and he paused on the ticket booking interface. After a while, he asked, his tone showing cautious hope, "Can I go with you?...as your boyfriend."

Pandora was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Of course."
