Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1010 Monster and Moonlight (13)

Cheng Mo was shocked by Athena's crazy behavior, but his brain did not stop working because of the sudden inconceivable encounter.He has always been good at adapting, no matter how complicated and thrilling the situation is.

So at this moment, his brain made the most correct decision with lightning speed.He raised his hand to drive the "Seven Sins" out of the window, a golden thread silently pierced through the thick plexiglass, passed through the surging sea wind, and fell towards the sky in a parabolic posture with lightning speed. Ouroboros raced wildly, chasing the faint blue light that was falling down with unstoppable momentum.

Athena stood indifferently in the corridor, but Cheng Mo's heart was already in his throat. He knew the value of the Ouroboros, even though the Ouroboros was not his, he felt extremely sorry, not to mention On the way to the "Garden of Eden", Athena, the super bodyguard, is needed. If Athena loses Ouroboros, wouldn't she put him in danger together?
For his own safety, Cheng Mo had to do his best to frantically drive the "Seven Sins" towards Ouroboros, which was slanted by the sea wind, and what he found was a little bit late after all. The priceless Ouroboros has already touched the top of the waves and is about to die in the bottom of the sea, while his "seven sins" are still about a foot away.

This foot is really so close.

Cheng Mo's brain is about to explode. He has never been so nervous in countless critical moments, including when he was caught by Jing Quan, he never had a bad feeling of "it's over".But at this second, I really felt that I also fell into the deep sea with that Uroboros, completely hopeless.

At the very moment, Cheng Mo's inspiration flashed, and he forcibly used the "Seven Sins" to melt away the entire porthole, and then handed half of his body out of the window. Finally, the suddenly lengthened "Seven Sins" barely caught up with the watch .Cheng Mo opened his eyes wide, and stared at the Ouroboros that was about to be swept away by the waves through the narrow gap between the window sill and his arm. Without shaking his hand, he precisely passed through the watch strap and hooked it. Uroboros that has been soaked.

Cheng Mo felt weak all over, and really felt like saving his own life. He immediately took back the "Seven Sins", and Athena's Uroboros returned to his hands without any risk. Cheng Mo felt a burning pain in his arm when he held the Uroboros tightly.

He raised his arm and took a look. Just now, he stuffed his arm out of the porthole in a hurry, and accidentally rubbed it against the steel window sill. Most of his arm was covered with bloody red marks as if it had been scraped.I didn't feel it just now, but when the crisis is lifted, I feel a burning pain.

(BGM - "Feel" Alivvve)

So Cheng Mo was very annoyed. He turned to Athena who was looking back at him and said coldly, "Are you crazy?" Athena didn't answer, she looked at Cheng Mo through the hollow round porthole, and the sea breeze Like a man who fell in love with her, he carefully lifted her long hair, that snow-white face was actually brighter than the silver plate-like moon beside her.It's just that there was no emotion on her face, it was flat and calm, as if nothing had happened.

This expression of Cheng Mo is too familiar, he has witnessed it countless times in the mirror, it is a kind of dazed chaos, a kind of sticky melancholy that doesn't know where to go.

Once Cheng Mo, every time he looked in the mirror, he felt that his expressionless face was like the rainy weather in southern Shonen.

In fact, rainy days have nothing to do with sadness, but when we see the gray world and hear the raindrops hitting the glass, we will feel sad, just like the world will be destroyed by heavy rain.
It's a strange emotion.

He thought of himself standing under the eaves outside the classroom, watching other students being picked up by their parents with a blank face, and finally he was the only one left in the silent teaching building, and the torrential rain pouring on the entire campus.

He stared at the rain curtain and thought: What does rain have to do with sadness?

Actually it doesn't matter, right?

Probably children who have no umbrellas and no parents to pick them up strongly hate rainy days.

Then why do adults also feel depressed in rainy days?
Perhaps the city is already crowded, and the heavy rain will turn the city with no gaps into a semi-solid city.People stood at the entrance of the subway station, stood by the door of the convenience store, and stood under the awning of the department store complaining that the sudden heavy rain disrupted their rhythm. They should have typed codes at their desks and talked about business in the coffee shop. Or on the way to delivery.
Every passerby besieged by the heavy rain is like a desperate stranger, they are not at home, maybe they have never had a home in this congested city.

Cheng Mo thought, if it is in a warm home, the innocent rain certainly does not symbolize sadness, maybe it is brisk, bright and melodious.

Like deadpan.

A person with a happy family will not often have such a face on his face. It should be gentle, smiling, and peaceful, not expressionless.

Cheng Mo thought of "Mom is going to die" frozen on Athena's computer, so inexplicably, he felt a little sad, and even regretted saying Athena "is she crazy".

The cold sea breeze poured in from the broken porthole, making Cheng Mo a bit cold, maybe Athena's eyes were colder than the sea wind, Cheng Mo lowered his head, avoiding Athena's eyes, and whispered: "Sorry , I was just too surprised."

Athena stretched out her hand towards Cheng Mo, and said coldly, "Bring it."

Cheng Mo did not obey Athena's order, but raised his head again and persuaded earnestly: "Even if you have mastered the "Book of Law", you can't throw Uroboros away. Didn't you say that Lizardmen can't help it?" Cultivated to be exactly the same as the carrier, not to mention having a carrier is equivalent to three more lives!"

"What should I do for you?"

"Aren't we partners?"

"Partner?" There was a sneer at the corner of Athena's mouth, "The so-called partner is a valuable collaborator? If the other party has no value, you can abandon it, right?"

Cheng Mo was silent for a long time, and after a while he said, "I don't want you to regret it in the future."

Athena asked mercilessly: "Are you afraid that I will regret it, or that I will lose my original value without Ouroboros?"

Cheng Mo shook his head and said: "I did think about it from my own point of view, after all, it affected the safety of the two of us, but I also really feel that it is very important to just throw away your Ouroboros like this." It's a pity." After a pause, Cheng Mo looked at Athena sincerely, "No matter how many unbearable memories your Uroboros carries, it's just an item, and it won't be destroyed just because you throw away the memory. Disappeared together." He raised his left hand and pointed to his heart, "The memory is here."

Athena still raised her poker face, looked at Cheng Mo indifferently and silently, and did not let go of her hand asking for Ouroboros.

Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, and he stretched out the right hand holding Ouroboros out of the porthole again, but he didn't return the Ouroboros directly to Athena, but spread his palm.Under the faint moonlight, that futuristic watch exudes a radiant light.He looked at this Ouroboros, which should have stored a lot of SSS skills, and said helplessly: "The memory is not here."

Athena picked up her Ouroboros from Cheng Mo's palm, without even looking at it, she threw it out again with her backhand.

This time Cheng Mo didn't make a move, but just watched the Ouroboros fall silently into the unfathomable blue Mediterranean in the night.

And Athena didn't linger at all, just pushed the door open and walked into the room.She passed Cheng Mo and sat in front of the table, but she didn't continue to watch "Crayon Shin-chan", she just stared at the screen in a daze.

Cheng Mo's thoughts are a little messy, Athena's behavior disrupted his plan, originally because of Athena's powerful combat power, he thought that no matter how he chooses, he will be able to handle it with ease, but now no matter what he chooses, he will face great risks. He had to be more cautious about the escape route down.

And at this time, Athena's combat effectiveness has become more important.

Logically speaking, Cheng Mo should be dissatisfied with Athena's irresponsible behavior. emotional person.Athena's behavior should be very disgusting to him.

But at this moment, Cheng Mo only had pity for Athena in his heart. He exhaled, turned to look at Athena, and said lightly: "To be honest, as a partner, you should be responsible for each other. I don't quite approve of you. Even if you want to throw away your Ouroboros, you should finish our cooperation. But since you are determined to do this, I will accept your decision, because partners should not only share benefits, but also share Take the risk."

"There's no need to say these meaningless routines to me." Athena's attitude was still cold.

Cheng Mo was not affected by Athena's resistance, but his tone became more gentle, "Then let me just say, can you intercept the energy now?"

"No." Athena replied directly.

Cheng Mo frowned, "What's wrong?"

"do not know."

Athena's tone was quite blunt. According to Cheng Mo's previous personality, he would choose to ignore Athena temporarily at this time, and wait for her to adjust her emotions. But I don't know why, maybe it's some kind of deep empathy, he He also had a similar experience; perhaps out of interest, he couldn't let Athena's emotions continue to enter an uncontrollable state.

Cheng Mo didn't turn around and go back to the sofa to continue sleeping. He was silent for a moment and asked softly, "Want to eat?"

"No." Athena frowned impatiently.

Cheng Mo didn't flinch, "I think, you can accompany me to get some food."

"Why should I accompany you?"

"Aren't we partners?" Cheng Mo stared into Athena's eyes, "In China, 'partner' is translated as 'partner', and the word 'partner' is related to 'fire', because the word "partner" comes from the Northern Wei Dynasty. At that time, the soldiers used ten people as a fire, cooking and eating together, so it was called "same fire", also called "compartment", so in China, if you don't eat together, you can't be called a "partner".

Athena avoided Cheng Mo's sight, stared down at the monitor and remained silent.

Cheng Mo went directly to Athena, grabbed her hand and forcibly pulled her up from the chair, and dragged her to the stairwell.The surrounding area was quiet, and the footsteps of the two were not as loud as the sea breeze, like snow drifting silently in the middle of the night.Athena's hands were also like snow, which was a bit chilly. Cheng Mo guessed that maybe the lizard man's body temperature was lower than that of humans.

"I don't know if the lizard man is a cold-blooded animal. In fact, it should be called a temperature-changing animal." Cheng Mo also understood what he was thinking.

The wall lights were dim and the corridor was narrow. He led Athena through the twisting and twisting stairs, which were surrounded by gray-green steel structures, so the iron number plate attached to the wall looked even colder.If such a scene is accompanied by a tense and exciting music, it will be like an adventure game scene, but they are just thieves who go to the kitchen to steal food in the middle of the night.

Now that Cheng Mo is familiar with the location of the kitchen, he led Athena to the door of the kitchen where the door was locked. Cheng Mo let go of Athena's hand, revealed the Seven Sins, and directly started to break the door, "Seven Sins "Zong" shone like a flashlight on his face, making it more like a crime scene in the dark and cramped corridor.

Cheng Moqie opened the door lock and said in a low voice: "The kitchen door is not locked to prevent us, but to prevent stowaways."

Athena said nothing.

Cheng Mo didn't care, walked into the kitchen and turned on the light. The kitchen full of stainless steel kitchen utensils and cabinets had appeared in countless suspense or horror movies. This is an excellent place to dismember the corpse.He looked back at Athena, who had followed him in and was looking around curiously.He concealed the embarrassment in his heart, pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Is this the first time you come to the kitchen?"

Athena immediately stopped looking around, looked at the row of shiny knives hanging on the knife holder on the side of the island, and said in a cold voice, "So what's the matter? It feels like an anatomy room."

Cheng Mo immediately remembered that Athena said two days ago, "You are the No.30 seven people I am going to dissect", and suddenly he felt that he was really brain-twitching, and brought Athena to such a gloomy dissection room The place.He forced a smile and said, "Speaking of which, the kitchen and the dissecting room do have something in common."

Athena still didn't take her eyes off the dazzling array of knives, and asked to herself, "I don't know whether the scalpel is faster or the kitchen knife is faster?"

"Would you like to try it?" Cheng Mo said, seeing Athena looking at him, Cheng Mo shuddered, and quickly said, "I mean chopping vegetables"

Athena seemed a little moved by the job of holding a knife, and asked, "What are you going to cook?"

Cheng Mo felt that it was better not to engage in too complicated eating, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we eat grilled fish!"

"Grilling fish." Athena walked to the island and looked at the row of knives, "Which knife is suitable for you to use!"

"Chinese grilled fish!" Cheng Mo walked to the freezer, opened the freezer and said at the same time, "This doesn't need a big knife, nor does it need good knife skills, as long as you have enough patience. You should look for it, there should be someone who specializes in cutting it." A fish knife."

While speaking, Chengmo chose a fat and big grouper and took it out. This fish is still very fresh, and it was caught by the trawl net at the stern recently.Generally speaking, the meat of grouper is firm and thin, and it will be more delicious when steamed, but Cheng Mo knows that Athena eats too much Western food, steaming is not very fresh to her, and she also likes strong food, so Decided to make grilled fish, you can never go wrong with good ingredients for grilling.If it was Yan Yitong, there was nothing that couldn't be solved with a meal of barbecue beer, if not, then two meals.

Athena was already waiting by the chopping board holding a medium-sized sharp-edged fish knife.Cheng Mo didn't know how she accurately found the fish knife among so many knives. Maybe it was because she had done too much anatomy and her intuition was sharp enough?
He walked to the island, put the fat and big grouper on the chopping board, and said, "Remove the scales first, you can soak it in warm water, it will be easier to remove."

"Don't be so troublesome." Athena pressed the head of the fish, and she didn't know what kind of knife she used. The sharp blade quickly scraped across the fish, and the scales scattered like dust being blown up.

Cheng Mo was a little surprised, it was different from the scene where Athena was in a hurry in his imagination, he rolled his throat and said: "Remove the scales and then cut from the belly of the fish to the bone, don't cut off the spine, connect the tail." See Athena had quickly removed the scales and began to cut the fish. He hurriedly said, "Be careful not to cut the gall."

"I have dissected not only humans, but also other animals." Athena spoke to Cheng Mo calmly, without stopping, raising the knife with her hand.She cut open the belly of the fish smoothly, with fast and steady hands. She entered the knife from the tailgate of the fish, followed the bones of the belly, and cut to the mouth of the fish with one knife, directly dividing a fish into two parts precisely. It looked like she was playing with a knife veteran.

Seeing that Athena didn't need him to worry about it at all, Cheng Mo said, "After dissecting the fish, you have to thoroughly clean the inside of the fish's abdomen. Remember not to break the gall, and finally open the back and take it out." Cheng Mo was a little embarrassed at this point , he didn't know how to express "fishy line" in English, so he could only say: "You know, there is a row of fish scales called lateral line scales on the fish's back, and there are many neatly arranged small holes on the top of the lateral line scales. There will be a line under that row of holes"

"I know, it's the fish's lateral line, the organ that senses the flow of water. It can also sense external stimuli and the strength of smells."

"Have to pull it out."

"why?"

"Because it will have a little fishy smell, maybe the fishy smell of sea fish will be less than that of freshwater fish, but it will still have a little bit."

"Then you have to remove the pharynx in the throat of the fish," Athena said.

Cheng Mo didn't quite know why the pharyngeal bone of the fish's throat was removed, but he could probably guess the reason, but in order to facilitate a good interaction, he also asked "why".

Athena explained, and Cheng Mo prepared other materials while listening.It may be because the environment of the ship kitchen and the laboratory is very similar, so Athena found a familiar feeling; it may be that with the help of Cheng Mo, Athena has come out of the emotional depression just now, and the interaction between the two As Cheng Mo thought, there were more.

Probably because Athena had more contact with fish than people, and she talked a lot about "fish".Cheng Mo is not surprised, it can be seen from Athena's crazy behavior of building an aquarium on the roof. Athena has a unique feeling for "sea" and marine life. After all, Athena's father Su Grady Onassis is a man known as "Sea King", not only because he has many women in his life, but also because he is an out-and-out ship king.

Cheng Mo naturally knows many rumors about the Onassis family, and is quite curious about Athena's childhood experience. For Cheng Mo, this is not just a gossip, nor is it just a chance to learn more about Athena, but also a precious psychological sample. .It's a pity that you can't take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing, unless Athena takes the initiative to say it.

He knew very well that he had to be able to enter Athena's heart in order to touch her past.This process is a process of giving his heart, and there may not be any rewards, so he hesitates whether he should try his best to open Athena's hard heart.

From the perspective of profit, Cheng Mo shouldn't have the slightest hesitation, but he has always been realistic, and he somewhat rejects this choice that is beneficial and harmless to him.As for the specific reason, Cheng Mo didn't dare to think about it, temporarily put those absurd reasons behind him, and devoted himself to making this grilled fish well.

The seasonings and ingredients in the kitchen are quite complete, such as green peppers, onions, ginger and garlic. Unfortunately, there are fewer vegetables to choose from, and there are no tofu and vermicelli, which is a pity.It's also a pity that there is no bean paste in the kitchen, but fortunately, Cheng Mo found a bottle of Laoganma in the cabinet where the cans are stored. I don't know that the crew member put it in the kitchen, and the lid has not been opened.Although Laoganma cannot completely replace Doubanjiang, it is also a good substitute.

This sudden discovery was a great surprise to Cheng Mo, because he was not very good at eating spicy food because of heart disease, but as a native of Hunan, even if he couldn’t eat spicy food, he could still eat spicy food better than most people in other places. Shonan cuisine even puts chili in vegetables, and it is impossible for Cheng Mo not to eat chili at all, so in fact Cheng Mo still likes spicy food, but he just got a heart attack.

Remembering that he hadn't had a serious meal of Hunan cuisine for several years and had a taste of the real spicy taste, Cheng Mo temporarily forgot about the dire situation he was in now.He walked quickly to Athena's side with the red bottle with the face of "Laoganma" printed on it, shook it, and said, "Can you eat spicy food?"

Athena was cleaning the dissected fish in the pool. She glanced at the earthy glass jar in Cheng Mo's hand. She couldn't understand what was contained in the dark stuff, but she nodded and said, "Yes."

"This is not the chili powder that you Europa has no spicy taste, this is the hottest chili sauce produced by the hottest woman in China."

"How spicy can it be?" Athena asked.

Cheng Mo unscrewed the bottle cap, found a brand new silver spoon in the cabinet, wiped it with a napkin, and picked out a little bit of hot sauce from the bottle.At this time, Athena was still washing the fish, and Cheng Mo subconsciously handed the hot sauce to Athena's mouth, ready to feed it to her.

Athena hid for a while, as if she was somewhat resisting Cheng Mo's feeding, but she looked down, and the black tempeh wrapped in bright red chili oil and chili powder had a strange temptation against the spoon.After struggling for a while, she still leaned forward a little, opened her cherry-colored lips, and took the little chili sauce into her mouth lightly.

The water was splashing, Athena's side face seemed to be exquisitely carved, and Cheng Mo witnessed an extremely beautiful advertisement, and the cheap old godmother was eaten by her like a rare delicacy, especially in the Athena's eyes lit up, and when she licked her lips, Cheng Mo seemed to see a breeze blowing her long hair in the kitchen. This scene was definitely a blockbuster special effect.

Cheng Mo thought it would be great if he was filming "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater". Athena would definitely burst into tears when she tasted the hot girl in the world for the first time.
Athena turned to Cheng Mo and said, "More, more."

Cheng Mo expelled the picture of Athena's clothes bursting out of his brain, picked up a little more of the old godmother with a spoon, and handed it to Athena's mouth again. This time Athena did not avoid it, and began to taste it carefully.

"It's not as spicy as I expected, it's very fragrant and delicious."

"Not spicy?" Cheng Mo asked in surprise.

At this time, Athena had already eaten a small mouthful of Laoganma, and the spicy taste just appeared, her cheeks blushed, she took a slight breath and said, "It's still a little spicy, but it's really delicious." After a while, Athena asked, "Do you want to use this for grilled fish?"

"Of course!" Cheng Mo nodded.

"I'm looking forward to it." Athena closed her eyes and said.

A strange sense of pride arose in Cheng Mo's heart. He thought that this kind of pride should not appear on a person like him, let alone because of a bottle of "Old Ganma", but this situation still happened.He put the old godmother aside, "I guess you will like to eat our Huaxia hot pot."

"Hot Pot?"

"Yes, hot pot has a history of thousands of years. It is the favorite delicacy of our Chinese people. It can be said that there is no one. It is especially suitable for eating hot pot in winter. Burn a charcoal fire with a copper pot on it. The copper pot is full of red. The bright butter soup is tumbling, and the table is full of various foods, such as beef rolls, mutton rolls, crispy meat, goose intestines, shrimp slips, enoki mushrooms, cucumber slices, and potato slices. A family or a few friends form a circle , Eating hot pot, drinking iced cola, chatting and chatting, that is a very happy thing." Cheng Mo turned his head and glanced at Athena, "The most interesting way is to eat hot pot. Everyone scoops up food in a pot. It is a kind of sharing unique to China, if the relationship is not close to a certain level, they will not eat hot pot together."

"Do you have a lot of friends?"

Cheng Mo thought for a long time before answering: "It seems that there are not many, but there must be more than you."

Athena was silent.

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Is Napoleon VII your friend?"

Athena shook her head, and said lightly: "Actually, I don't know how to be a friend."

Cheng Mo couldn't help thinking of Xie Minyun, so the kitchen became quiet, only the sound of splashing water remained.Cheng Mo recalled it for a long time before whispering: "I didn't know much about friendship at the beginning! Love! What it should be like, I realized later that the so-called love and friendship are to know clearly what kind of person you are. People, but they can still like you and be willing to be friends with you.” Cheng Mo’s heart suddenly became sour, and melancholy surrounded him like air, he waved a kitchen knife and started cutting onions, “duh, duh, duh”, and the corners of his eyes The moisture came naturally, "This is something my wife taught me."

"Xie Minyun?" Athena turned off the water, and the loudest sound of water in the kitchen disappeared, leaving only Athena's sigh, "What a pity."

Now it was Cheng Mo's turn to be silent, but to chop the onion hard.

"What about the fish?" Athena asked, mentioning the fish.

"It needs to be marinated." Cheng Mo stopped the knife in his hand, raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, took a deep breath, concealed his sudden sadness, and then took the quilt from Athena. Neatly cut and clean grouper.He took a look at the belly of the fish, it was crystal clear, and such a beautiful knife is no different than a veteran chef who has been working for more than ten years.Seeing that there was nothing he needed to do with it, Cheng Mo put the grouper into a stainless steel tray and began to marinate it.

Athena didn't walk away either, she just stood aside and watched.

Cheng Mo glanced at Athena, and said while rubbing salt on the belly of the fish: "I remembered the first time my dad made fish for me. He is not very good at cooking, let alone fish. I was sweating profusely, let alone dissecting the fish, not to mention the messy dissection, and directly broke the gall. The whole fish was fishy and bitter by him. From that day on, I would rather order takeaway or I don’t want to eat my dad’s food when I cook it myself, that’s how my cooking skills come from.”

Athena asked directly without hesitation: "Where's your mother?"

Cheng Mo was not hypocritical, and replied frankly: "My mother divorced my father when I was seven years old. I guess it was because I had a heart attack. At that time, the doctor said that I would not live long. My mother could not accept this fact. , so I went back to the Lighthouse Country and never heard from him again.” Cheng Mo laughed at himself, “Maybe I would feel better if I thought this way before, so I always want to find my mother and ask her if it’s because of this. Abandon me." After a pause, Cheng Mo said again, "But I don't want to ask now"

Athena hesitated and asked, "Why don't you want to ask now?"

"Because I now know that from the standpoint of a child, I will always misunderstand adults, just like I misunderstood my father. I used to think that he didn't love me at all. Maybe I was just a test product for him. A master of anthropology, he wanted to try what a human family should be like before he gave birth to me." Cheng Mo turned around and picked up olive oil and poured it on the fish, "Later I got the olive oil he left for me. Lobolos gradually realized that he really loved me."

Cheng Mo's answer caused the atmosphere to suddenly fall into a long silence, and Athena stopped talking again.But they were not embarrassed.Cheng Mo stopped talking about herself, but cared about pickling fish carefully, and Athena took the initiative to take over the task of cutting vegetables. Her knives are as good as a machine, and the size is evenly admirable. Cooperate in an orderly and quiet manner.

After the fish was marinated, Cheng Mo wrapped the tin foil on the tray and started the final baking work. After 10 minutes, the oven was turned on, and the aroma of the grilled fish with Lao Ganma was overflowing. Athena, who had just said "don't eat" not long ago, was salivating.

Cheng Mo held the tray in his gloves and said, "Take two sets of knives and forks, and the iron shelf over there. Let's go back to the room and eat."

Athena nodded, turned back to the cupboard to get the knife and fork and the iron shelf, and followed Cheng Mo back to the room quickly.

Cheng Mo set up the tray with an iron shelf, then found the glasses and alcohol, made an alcohol lamp and put it under the tray, then Cheng Mo took out the ice glass that was prepared in advance from the refrigerator, poured Coke on it, and then he was very happy with the old man. Athena, who sat on the sofa and waited for a long time without moving her chopsticks, said, "It's time to eat."

Athena looked at the alcohol lamp under the tray and asked, "Is this a hot pot?" Cheng Mo didn't answer Athena's question, but asked instead, "Are we friends?"

Athena didn't answer Cheng Mo's question either, but waved her fork and ate the grilled fish earnestly, perhaps because she also moved her hands, this time she ate it more deliciously than ever before.

Seeing that Athena was eating happily, Cheng Mo, who never ate late-night snacks, was also a little bit hungry. He picked a piece of grouper meat with a fork and put it into his mouth. The taste was more than he imagined. The fresh grouper meat had a hint of The sweetness, paired with Laoganma and various side dishes complement each other exceptionally well, making it impossible to stop after one bite.

The two of them worked hard and chatted while eating. The atmosphere was harmonious, like old friends who have known each other for a long time.

When the fish was almost eaten and only some vegetables were left, Athena seemed to remember something and asked, "Did you hide that bottle of Laoganma when you left?"

Cheng Mo ate a piece of potato, shook his head and said, "No."

"How about that, we have to hide it later, or what will we eat tomorrow?"

"We?" Cheng Mo heard this word for the first time from Athena.

"Didn't you say 'partners' have to eat together?" Athena said.

"Then I'll hide it right away." Cheng Mo got up and said.

Athena grabbed Cheng Mo's sleeve and said, "Let's go together after eating."

Cheng Mo replied "OK" and sat down again.

Athena picked up the Coke, showing a rare nervousness. She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me about the story between you and Ouroboros that your father left you?"
