Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 692: Lan Qi, let’s eat first

The windows are covered with red leaves that are so thin that they are almost transparent, allowing the morning sunlight to penetrate softly and warmly into the room.

The whole room was filled with the refreshing fragrance of wood.

The cool breeze blowing from the balcony gently caressed his body, and there was a slight knock on the door. His brows trembled slightly, and his eyes opened unconsciously.

 It was not the parieux furniture in the room that caught his attention.

Rather, it was the face reflected in the mirror not far away, and the cold emerald green eyes could not hide a bit of confusion and sleepiness.

 It’s like trying to keep people away from you while still appearing harmless.

 He sat up and propped himself up on the bed, looking around.

Soon, his gaze stopped. It seemed that the slight movement of him getting up attracted the attention of the person knocking on the door outside the bedroom.

The figure with gray hair and golden eyes opened the door, held the door handle, and looked at him.

 Her long hair was cleverly tied into a bun on the back of her head, which was both orderly and elegant, with slightly scattered hair hanging gently on the side of her cheeks.

"are you awake?"

Thalia asked.

 She was still wearing an apron and seemed to be making breakfast.

"woke up."

Lan Qi was slightly startled and blinked.

 “Breakfast will be ready in a little while.”

Thalia nodded and closed the bedroom door.

It was just an ordinary day to wake up, but he always felt that getting up today was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

 Maybe he was sleepy.

  After all, the last thing he remembered was the fight with Perlman and Inoan in succession.

 I was so tired that I lay down on the roof of the church and fell asleep.

 I don’t know how long I slept for before I woke up.

　　Thalia and the cat boss must have brought him back later. This familiar bedroom was exactly the one prepared by Countess Rosalinda and where he stayed in the Spirit Hotel at Platinumson Palace for so many days.

 He moved his body, pushed the quilt aside, hung his feet, and placed them gently on the soft carpet.

 “Sa Shuang Resurrection!”

 He rubbed his eyes and stretched, feeling relaxed throughout his body.

 Lanchi stood up from the bed.

 After washing, he left the master bedroom and came to the living room.

The breeze caressed the leaves outside the window, and birds were chirping on the treetops not far away.

A string of crisp notes floated along the window sill into the hotel suite, lingering in the pleasant morning light.

 The living room is actually filled with fragrance.

He looked at the dining table and saw Thalia moving neatly between the living room and the integrated kitchen on one side.

Today’s breakfast is shrimp, wild mushroom and cream braised noodles, and black pepper cheese fried chicken.

Lan Qi slowly walked to the dining table and sat down.

Thalia brought the last fig, cereal and yogurt salad and placed it in front of him.

 “I’m not dreaming…”

Lanqi looked up at Thalia like this, feeling a bit like she was in another world.

Thinking about it carefully, I found that after taking Talia back to the dormitory, the house has always been very tidy. Talia can easily tidy up the housework that the poet would never do.

 Plus after she really started cooking and taking care of herself.

 Lanci had to admit a fact that he didn't want to believe - Talia seemed to be a good wife and mother.

It's just that her temper is that of a demon, and her life has been too comfortable for more than a year, so even if she knows how to cook, she usually doesn't pay attention to it.

 “Have you ever wondered why my home is always so tidy?”

Thalia sat at the dining table, seemed to understand his thoughts, and asked Lanqi.

　　　…”

Lan Qi was speechless.

 Whenever he went to Talia's house to learn card-making from her, her living environment was never sloppy. It was not only tidy, but even exquisite.

This gray-haired girl who is single and unemployed seems to have a particularly good living habit. I always heard Hyperion say that being a roommate with Tata is a very happy thing.

 It turns out to be true.

 “Eat quickly, it’s Wednesday.”

Thalia looked at the stunned Lan Qi and reminded him.

“Wednesday...did I sleep for almost two days?”

Lanchi said in astonishment and picked up the fork.

Then he has to go to work today.

　　　1346 were the days when he worked at Count Baptiste's house.

And by the looks of it, he was absent from work all day on Monday!

 He has never made any mistakes in his work, yet he made such an irreparable mistake!

“You two, why is the first thing you do is work...”

Boss Cat jumped from the stool to the table and lay on the side looking at the two of them.

Now not only Ranchi, but also Tata is full of work.

 The two people at the dinner table didn't seem to know what to communicate all of a sudden, and the atmosphere became much quieter again.

Just by seeing each other, they seemed to be reminded of their last memory of getting along with each other - the two of them were chatting on the roof, and they actually leaned against each other.

 According to the relationship between the two of them, they shouldn't be so close.

The more I think about the distance at that time, the feeling on the other person's body, and the sound of the heartbeat and pulse, the more awkward I feel at this moment.

Lan Qi could only stretch his fork towards the food and put it into his mouth.

 Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

The white porcelain bowl contains golden braised noodles exuding the fragrance of butter. The surface is dotted with pink shrimps and brown wild mushrooms. The cream sauce blends with the braised noodles. When you scoop up the first forkful and put it into your mouth, you will be filled with excitement. The smoothness instantly melted on the tip of the tongue, and the sweet and chewy shrimps and mellow and juicy wild mushrooms bloomed between the teeth. The taste was as smooth as velvet, and his taste buds were instantly addicted.

 Then it was no longer his taste buds that made the decision, it was as if his empty stomach was constantly sending signals to his brain, telling him to eat faster.

The golden and crispy skin of the black pepper cheese fried chicken is like a bright gold foil, decorated with crushed black pepper and shredded cheese. When you take a bite, the crispy skin makes a sound, and the tender chicken inside is filled with oil and wrapped in the crispy skin. The slight spiciness of black pepper and the richness of cheese are intertwined.

Lanchi gradually began to understand Hyperion’s life a little bit.

To a certain extent, this kind of care was something he could not give Hyperion.

Just when Lan Qi was eating and clearing his mind.

“La la la la la, the lovely flower capital Parrieux, my favorite flower capital~eat it, eat it~”

The light humming sound was accompanied by walking and dancing steps, and a figure walked from the balcony to the living room.

Since the voice was so familiar, but the tone was slightly different, Lan Qi subconsciously looked at Thalia at the table, and then looked up towards the balcony.

"Hi!"

That figure also has long gray hair, but it is **** casually into a side ponytail with a ribbon. A few strands of broken hair are playfully fluttering in the breeze, and his blue eyes are just like the clear autumn sky.

 She wore a dark sweater and slim-cut trousers, and brown boots wrapped her slender legs from her knees to her ankles.

 “Hey, why are there two towers?”

Lanqi stopped forking, feeling like he was really dreaming this time.

"Meow…"

The cat boss felt that Lan Qi was a little sleepy. This was obviously Lan Fu, but Lan Qi seemed to be thinking of Tata, so the default in his mind was Tata.

"I'm back!"

The poet of great love winked at Lan Qi with his left eye and made horizontal scissor hands on his face.

 “Oh, why are you back?”

Lan Qi continued to eat breakfast very calmly, looking at her while chewing and asked.

　　　…”

“You feel so good using her, you think I’m superfluous, don’t you?”

The great love poet immediately stopped and looked at Lan Qi, making her laugh angrily for a moment.

 She thought Lan Qi would be touched by her return.

 Unexpectedly, this guy seemed to think it didn't matter whether she was there or not.

　　　…”

However.

These words made Lanci and Talia feel embarrassed and moved each other away from their sight.

To be honest, it’s really outrageous that two people live together every day these days and can hear each other’s thoughts 24 hours a day.

 But it was precisely because of this that nearly a month passed.

 It was a little awkward at first, but now they are getting used to it.

From Lanqi’s perspective, if the natal card is the super powerful Trisolaran named [Crazy Love Demon King], [Great Love Poet] does seem a bit primitive.

“Oh...could it be that during this period, the relationship between the two of you was really...?”

Poet Daai covered his mouth in surprise and took a deep breath.

 “Nothing happened!”

Lanchi and Thalia looked at her in unison and clarified.

 The exaggerated expressions of the great love poets are deliberately trying to mess with their mentality.

 Now they all feel that Da Ai Poet is a bit annoying.

 Laofu is better.

Hearing this, the poet Da Ai showed a cunning look in his eyes. He leaned down and stared at the two of them, looking back and forth.

 After a while, she stopped paying attention to the two of them, walked to the door of the room and picked up the small puzzle-cut handbag.

 “I don’t care, I want to travel in Huadu, let’s go!”

The poet Da Ai had already put on sunglasses, raised his hair in a beautiful dress, and waved goodbye to the two of them.

"come home early."

Thalia looked towards the entrance and gave instructions.

"no problem."

The great poet nodded and left impatiently.

Lanci held the fork, looked at the disappearing figure of the great love poet, and then looked at Thalia.

Logically speaking, the great poet should listen to his instructions.

 Now I feel like I can bypass him as the holder.

"After you fell asleep that day, I probably felt that I could separate from her. It may be that as long as I use my power excessively, the fusion will be overloaded, and we can separate. It may also be that the time is long enough."

Thalia reckons that she has been fused with the Great Love Poet for about a month.

When Lan Qi fell asleep, because he never locked the poet, he ran out immediately after she and the poet were separated.

"She is too noisy and may disturb you when you sleep, so I let her go out to play and just go home before eight o'clock. Anyway, she doesn't consume much mana and spends very little money."

Thalia explained.

　　　…”

 Lanchi didn’t know what to say.

 “Do you think I’m too strict?”

Thalia asked expressionlessly.

 “No, it’s very nice of you to keep her under control.”

Lan Qi shook his head and sighed.

　　In the future, you can consider using Talia's house as a nursery, and Lanfu can be fostered with her.

　　After finishing the conversation started by the poet Da Ai, the two fell into silence again.

Lanchi ate quietly, while Thalia sat quietly aside.

Lan Qi now knows what is different today.

　　It turns out that Thalia’s voice is no longer heard.

In the past, Thalia might have called him directly in her heart. Today it was much quieter, and her soul didn't feel connected to anything strange.

Nearly finished the shrimp, wild mushroom and cream braised noodles and the black pepper cheese fried chicken.

Just when Lan Qi was a little thirsty and was about to pick up the water glass.

His eye was drawn to the fig, cereal and yogurt salad with its refreshing color and healthy moisture. The freshly picked fig slices are neatly displayed, yellow and green, with a smooth appearance. They are surrounded by crispy and delicious cereal cereals, reflecting the white as snow yogurt.

Lanchi swallowed and picked up the spoon to taste. The sugary lightness of the figs, the crunch of the oatmeal and the sweetness and sourness of the yogurt were instantly mixed together in his mouth.

 Beyond expectations, quite perfect.

The chef obviously designed such a breakfast carefully.

 But Lan Qi frowned more and more as he ate.

 “What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking?”

Thalia noticed his expression and asked.

 “No, it’s very delicious. I’ve never had such a delicious breakfast.”

Lanqi shook his head and thanked.

But why, despite being in a coma for about two days, did he actually feel rather hungry rather than very hungry?

 Perhaps I’m so hungry that I can’t feel anything.

Lanchi decided not to think about this less important issue.

　　　…”

Thalia looked sideways.

Actually it is.

 She secretly took food from Lan Qi's body.

It was definitely not because she wanted to use Lan Qi's body to eat, but she felt that Lan Qi might sleep for a long time and was worried that his stomach would be starved, so she helped him eat a meal before they separated from Lan Fu.

It shouldn't be discovered by Lan Qi, he was sleeping deeply.

Thalia tried it once before she realized that when Lan Qi was sleeping, she could actually take control of his body in a state of possession, and he couldn't even notice it.

 The clock goes half a circle.

 Lanchi also finished his breakfast.

 He put down his fork, seeming to hesitate.

 After a long time.

 Looking at Thalia, she had something to say, but didn't know what to say.

"Thanks."

 After looking at her for a while, he finally looked at Thalia and expressed his feelings.

Thalia just looked at him in confusion.

 “What are you looking at me for?”

 She asked.

"nothing."

Lan Qi looked away.

 He suddenly realized that he had not spoken words just now, but what he had conveyed was his thoughts.

I am used to communicating with Talia, but I am not used to it after they were separated.

It is no longer possible to communicate mentally with Thalia.

 “What did you want to tell me just now?”

Thalia asked.

 She was a little curious.

Just now Lan Qi didn't seem to be as damned as usual, it was an expression she had never seen before.

"nothing."

Lanqi shook his head.

He would not say thank you to Thalia several times in a row. What he just said in his heart was enough.

 It’s okay to joke around normally.

 It feels a little weird to say thank you to her seriously.

 In short, I just can’t say it.

It’s all because I didn’t get used to it for a while and couldn’t communicate with this old man. I’m so used to it.

 “What does Laodeng mean?”

Thalia hesitated for a moment, reading his mind.

 When she is curious, she can always hear a little sound occasionally.

He just got used to hearing Lan Qi's voice directly and didn't use this ability anymore. Whatever he wanted, he could be arrested immediately.

Her mind-reading skills are still unstable at present. Except for successfully reading the enemy's fighting intentions in the battle two days ago, now she can only read fragments intermittently.

 Perhaps because of the mark of the great demon on Lan Qi, reading Lan Qi's thoughts is much more difficult than reading other targets.

“The slang in our hometown is that Northeastern people respect the elderly more. When they see an older person, they will say ‘Lao Deng’ from the bottom of their heart, to express ‘the old man has a fairy-like spirit and has become an immortal’.”

Lan Qi explained to her very seriously.

　　　…”

Thalia nodded.

 Lao Deng turned out to be a compliment.

 But isn’t he still scolding her? !

The veins on the back of Thalia's hand began to tremble.

Lanchi suddenly felt that the sunlight was partially blocked, and when Thalia stood up, he was subconsciously startled.

"oh."

Thalia didn't want to pay attention to him, raised her hand but didn't strike it down.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Lan Qi covered her head. After waiting for a long time, she found that Talia was not angry.

 He half-opened one eye and observed Thalia.

Thalia took a deep breath and seemed to resist the urge to push him to the ground and hit him.

 She seemed to be extra tolerant to herself today, with a hint of tolerance. I don’t know what she was planning in her heart.

 After simply clearing the table, Thalia took two fruits and put them on the table and took off her apron.

“So today, I made an appointment to go see Rosalinda. Let’s take care of ourselves for lunch and dinner. If you need me to make breakfast for you tomorrow, just tell me in advance.”

She walked to the door and was about to leave Lan Qi's hotel room.

　　No longer needing to worry about Lan Qi’s mana consumption, she has also regained her freedom and no longer has to follow Lan Qi around all the time.

 “Say hello to Countess Rosalinda for me.”

Lanchi waved.

Thalia nodded slightly, and with the sound of opening and closing the door, only Lan Qi and Cat Boss were left in the living room.

Lanchi breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the clock on the wall and felt that it was almost time to go to work at Count Baptiste's house. He could sit down for a while before setting off.

The count's mansion has been damaged, so he probably has to go to the count's old mansion on the south bank of Parrieux, but fortunately, the hotel where he lives now is more convenient to go everywhere.

 He looked out the window quietly.

Even though after a long sleep, his body was slightly sore and his brain was much clearer, he still felt a little sleepy.

 “Are you still thinking about Inoan, meow?”

 The cat boss felt that Lan Qi seemed to have been deep in thought.

 “No, I won’t remember her.”

Lan Qi lowered his eyes and shook his head.

 In a sense, only Inoan would choose death, and Bishop of Destruction Ivanos would choose to live.

So he only defeated an ordinary maid, not the kind of enemy who needed to be impressed by him at all.

 “That’s fine, don’t pay tribute to her.”

 The cat boss lay down at the table and said softly,

“After you fell asleep, I went to recover Inoan’s body, Meow, and then cremated her with Tata, and asked Etio to help us bury her in the Posen Demon Realm.”

It continued.

 The corpse of an eighth-level strong man can easily attract covetous people.

In addition to being used as high-end materials for some very evil magic tools, it can also be made into puppets or used for biological experiments. Guys like the Bishop of Decay may be eyeing the corpses of the deceased. It is best to cremate them as soon as possible. choose.

 “That’s it.”

Lan Qi said to himself, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel.

 In this bustling area of ​​North Shore District 2, the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel is located.

Whether it is the hillside highlands, the Selina River, the Flower Sea Park, as well as the streets, temples, and squares, you can have a clear view of them all.

 It seems that the repair work in Huadu has been very rapid in the past two days, and there are not many signs of dilapidation now.

The Kingdom of Posen is already famous in the eastern region for its highly developed magic engineering, and with Huadu having the greatest intensity of manpower and material resources, I am afraid that it will be basically repaired in a while.

“Many famous scenic spots are not crowded today. If you go there, it will be a world for two. It’s really suitable for a date.”

 The cat boss looked out the window and said, like Lan Qi.

 “Who should I date? Boss Cat, do you want to go on a date with me?”

Lan Qi touched the little black cat with one hand and asked with an interested smile.

 “He Tata!”

The cat boss ignored Lan Qi's joke and said.

Obviously Tata had been sitting there for so long, but Lan Qi just ate his breakfast with peace of mind and was not moved at all. He looked so much like Tata!

“But I have to work, and she has an appointment with Rosalinda. Besides, it’s not fun for the two of us to date.”

Lanchi picked up the apple left by Talia, took a bite, and said calmly.

“Obviously she held you that day, and you slept peacefully in her arms.”

Boss Cat stood up anxiously and added another sentence.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification.

Lan Qi almost choked and quickly picked up the water glass and took a few gulps.

"Lan Qi, admit it, her embrace makes you feel at ease, doesn't her warmth make you care?"

The cat boss continued to get closer, staring at Lan Qi's cheek and asked.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Lan Qi glared at the cat boss and began to eat the apple with his head lowered. He couldn't restore the elegant pace before. He finished it in a few times. Then he stood up, washed his hands, put on his coat and got ready to go out.

“Lan Qi Meow, you won’t be fooled by me, right?”

 The cat boss followed up, walking briskly on his limbs.

It felt that Lan Qi's behavior was very similar to how it was when it first met Lan Qi, and even more green than that.

“I didn’t expect that a guy like you, who looks like Lao Deng, would have such an anthropomorphic appearance.”

 A man and a cat walked out of the door and walked in the corridor on the sixth floor of the hotel.

The cat boss has been getting along with Lan Qi for so long, and he has gradually regarded Lan Qi as an old man. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he is actually still very young.

Lanqi stopped and looked back.

 He knelt down and picked it up.

 “Boss Cat, the word Lao Deng is actually not appropriate or rigorous to use.”

Lan Qi looked at Boss Cat and explained seriously.

 He felt that Boss Cat was thinking of something very, very rude.

 “Meow, isn’t Lao Deng a compliment?”

Mr. Cat's eyes widened in surprise.

　　　…”

 Lan Qi couldn’t explain it, so he could only purse his lips and keep silent to let the cat boss understand.

"So Lan Qi, am I right? You care about Tata now, very much."

The cat boss asked with innocent eyes, returning to the previous question.

"She made me feel at ease and worried. It was nothing at all. I was just too tired at the time."

 Lan Qi raised his head and took a deep breath, seeming to be particularly speechless.

He stared at the cat boss with a 100% smile, and said no to him calmly and calmly.
