greek gods in new york

32

For college life, I anticipated a lot of the stress that would arise.

For example, if you can't adapt to college life for a while, you will be at a loss.

For example, studies are much more difficult than I imagined, and I will not be able to keep up with the progress of elite students and elite tutors.

However, I never imagined that I could overcome these difficulties.

What really stresses me out is the cheap brother who suddenly appeared in my life.

The first time I met my "Single Declaration" seemed to really pissed off Eros.Although since I entered high school, cheap uncles and aunts like Hermes, Dionysus, and Artemis have made fun of my love life, but everyone has not interfered with my relationship. the meaning of life.But Eros is different. Eros completely regards my words as a provocation to his professional level.

Since then, I have been busy with my university life, and I have to deal with the "blind date" session from Eros.

The old gods that still exist today, even if they lose their divine power, some innate talents and knowledge brought by a long life will not disappear.For example, Hermes lost his divine power and is still clever and eloquent. For example, Artemis obtained the professional qualification certificate of midwife early on.And Eros, the "matchmaker" in Greek mythology, basically sits with a couple for 5 minutes to know whether they are suitable or not.

In Eros's own words, "he has a pair of eyes that can see the soul".

I don't know if he can see the soul clearly, but Eros has really done it, and I will not give up if I don't get out of the order.

At first he asked me out to play, I just put on a T-shirt and shorts and went straight to the game hall.Appearing alongside Eros is one of Aphrodite's magazine interns, looking extraordinarily stylish in his early 20s.

I really didn't think much about it at the time, I just thought that Aphrodite couldn't let Eros, who looked only ten years old, go out alone, so I assigned an intern to take care of him.

It wasn't until my cheap brother made an excuse to leave halfway, leaving me and the intern looking at each other in front of the "Tekken" game console, that I didn't understand what he meant.

Uh.

The boy is handsome and cheerful.He can talk to me about everything from games to history to fashion trends. Even if I can't catch up, he can change the topic keenly.Even afterwards, he happily asked for my contact information and said goodbye when he had time, which made me feel that Eros is so powerful in business, and I can get out of the order right away.

But how can you have time to fall in love while working under the devil?How complicated the fashion industry is, just watch the movie and you will know it!

And my new semester has just started, so I'm too busy.The rest time of my intern brother and I really didn't match up. We chatted a few times and tried to make appointments a few times, but we all gave up because of our respective schedules.

Things just got so dirty.

Eros was not discouraged by this. He said that it is impossible to fall in love overnight, and that it was almost done, which is a good start. He still has a lot of resources waiting for me.

When he said that, I was busy with my thesis assignment this week, and I didn't have time to read the message carefully when it was sent, so I just replied casually, that's great, I look forward to it as a response.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the beginning of my nightmare.

The second male guest is, uh, in Meryl's words, "a prince character that only appears in Japanese otome games".

Yes, that's an exaggeration.

It's not about how handsome the other party is, or how rich the family is.Instead, they parked the car downstairs in my apartment and waited for me on time when I went out on a date. The point of pulling a tampon out of your pocket.

He even spoke standard British English, better than Benji!

After two times, I rejected the other party's third date with a regretful but firm attitude.

It's not that he can't, it's that I can't!The pressure is too much, okay, the princess dream is not something everyone can do!

Afterwards, Eros persevered. He introduced the sporty boy, the cute otaku, the bookish academic bully, etc. to me. At first, I would try to go out with them. Seeing the message sent by Eros will be like a conditioned reflex.

In this regard, the grandson of Lord Stove Lord—the one who often helps him look after the store—expressed his empathy.

"Blind date by the head," he leisurely put down the hot tea in his hand, and patted me on the shoulder with the attitude of someone who has experienced it. "For young Asians, it is a disaster that must be experienced in life. You have to be mentally prepared. Get ready, this is just the beginning."

"what?!"

"The other party will become anxious because they can't 'arrange' you out for a long time, and they will bombard you more indiscriminately. But thank you, Nicole."

"what?"

"It makes me feel a lot better to think that you, a native white man, have to go through this."

"..."

Are you so comforting?

In fact, he was right.After that, Eros intensified, and the "resources" pushed to me would get angry if I didn't see him. When he got angry, he would go to Aphrodite or Pandora to complain, and then it was endless.

I'm so stressed.

This farce lasted for nearly a semester, and it was my dad who finally ended everything.

Probably because of my excessive headache, it even affected my daily life a little bit.In the end, Pandora couldn't bear it, so she got cold feet from Eros's "Nicole's single army" and secretly told my dad.

Then just last week, Eros routinely asked me out to play.

In the cold drink shop, Eros and I sat on a cotton candy-shaped bench, with cartoon snowflakes, snowmen and colorful wallpapers on top of our heads.Eros, who sat across from me, tried to describe the benefits of being in love in a dreamy and forceful tone. Halfway through, I looked up the top of his head.

Me, no, our dad, wearing a NYPD uniform, with a gun on his left and a baton on his right, stood behind Eros like a mountain.

Eros noticed my gaze and turned his head.When he met his father's almost murderous gaze, his expression suddenly became very stiff.

"What's the matter with you?" Dad frowned and looked at Eros.

"Uh."

Eros, who didn't let me refute just now, was rarely speechless.

Afterwards, his "Nicole's single plan" ended in failure.

…………

……

Today I met Eros again, not to introduce my boyfriend to me, but to appease his fragile heart after being threatened by Dad.

It's embarrassing.Although Eros's actions were a bit exaggerated, he really didn't have any bad intentions. It was my pity that I invited him to eat dessert.

Only, Eros was hit hard by it.

"I did not expect."

The cute ten-year-old boy lay listlessly on the table, and he didn't even have the energy to order: "Why is it so difficult to find a suitable lover for you?"

I couldn't laugh or cry: "I want to know more, why do you care so much?"

Eros immediately straightened his back: "Of course I care, you are my sister!"

As soon as he opened his mouth in a childish voice, countless customers and waiters turned their heads.

Fortunately, he just said "sister" without adding a prefix, so that others would see it as the delicate-looking little Zhengtai expressing his affection to his sister.

"Our father, er, and my mother's romantic history are enough to be a negative model," Eros immediately lowered his voice, "What's wrong with finding someone who shares your heart and supports each other? Nicole, I think all the boys I found for you match you very well, what do you think?"

It's not that I'm really against it, but...

"It's not fate." I imitated the tone of the Stove Lord.

"hateful!"

Eros tapped the table lightly.

"If I still have supernatural power," he said angrily, "it's impossible for you to use such perfunctory words to evade me."

Isn't it true, if you still have supernatural power, this world will be over!In Greek mythology, you mess up the mandarin ducks and make troubles.

Seeing his angry appearance, I sighed and felt funny again.

"Just not interested, okay," I said, "I'm not one of those people who think they're almost ready to get into a relationship."

Unexpectedly, when I told the truth, Eros accepted it instead.

He seemed very relieved: "Well...it's not incomprehensible."

Me: "Huh?"

The young lady who had been lying on the table finally raised her head and looked at me carefully with those light-colored eyes.

"Nicole, generally speaking," he whispered, "those who say that have someone in their hearts."

"No."

"Really? Then when I said that, who jumped out of your mind?"

"..."

I opened my mouth, but it got stuck.

This resulted in the "got you" look from Eros.

"Who is who?"

He suddenly regained his energy: "If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have spent so much thought, and I would have been scolded in vain. I'd just have brought the client to you!"

"Almost enough, I'm not—"

My words are half spoken.

It's not that I don't want to continue talking, but a hand suddenly interrupted me.

A familiar figure that I hadn't seen for a long time just appeared beside me without any warning, snatched the dessert menu from my hand as I often did in the past, and sat directly beside me without permission.

Not only that, but also put one foot on the table unscrupulously, it can be said that there is no etiquette or image.

It's Loki.

Rocky, who was fined to go back to Denmark and think about it behind closed doors, didn't have any notice, no sign, and didn't even send me a message "I'm coming to America" ​​before, so he just sat down carelessly.

He glanced at the menu decently: "Do you mind adding an order?"

Not to mention me, even Eros is stupid!

Under the weird silence, Loki put down the menu.

Instead of pretending to be a high school student, he naturally used his own face.The Nordic beauty smiled brightly at Eros, and then he leaned towards me as a matter of course.

"I heard you're helping Nicole get out of the singles."

Rocky said seemingly nonchalantly, "Did you ask me about this 'ex' boyfriend?"

I:"……"

Eros looked at me, then at Loki.

As if he understood something, his eyes suddenly lit up.
