Dragon and Dessert House

Hill got up slowly, and went to get the kettle to pour water for Jianuo and Fei Duoan.

"I'm going home to prepare dinner, so you have to help, Hill." Jianuo deliberately complained about Hill's disappointment, which stunned Hill, who was already extremely depressed, " Who do you think the owner bought the shop for?"

"Mr. Kano!"

Fei Duoan jumped up and stood in front of Jianuo, "Please don't blame Hill, Hill has worked very hard."

"But nothing helped." Jianuo stated the facts succinctly.

Fei Duoan defended Hill, and tried to argue. At the same time, there was a pleasant ringing bell at the door. Hearing the sound, the man in Chinese clothes who walked into the shop took off his top hat and showed a handsome face.

"Master?!" Fei Duoan and Jianuo said in unison, and the listless Hill timidly raised his head to stare at Fafna, instead of rushing forward as before.

"It seems to be over, I'll come and take a look." Fafna walked up to Hill and knelt down.

The penetrating pupils seemed to have seen everything about Hill. Even if Hill tried to escape, he couldn't escape Fife's gaze. "Is there any help?"

As soon as Hill's eyeballs rolled, they were immediately filled with teardrops, ready to drip down at any moment.

"Master, Mr. Jianuo said very excessive things to Hill." Fei Duoan pinned his hopes on Fafna, but Fafna stretched out his hand to caress Hill for a moment, and then said: "I said, let you come help in the shop."

Hill sniffed and grabbed Fafnir's sleeve.

"Keep working hard tomorrow." Fife calmed Hill as if nothing had happened. Hill in his arms was startled and shook his head aggrieved.

"That's right, Hill wasn't used to crowds." Fei Duoan was still defending Hill, but in the next second he met Fafna's gaze, and his cold and slender pupils instantly made Fei Duoan forget his voice , If you say too much, your throat will be torn by Fafna.

Fei Duoan's face turned blue, and was pulled aside by Kano.

"This is your job," Fafnir said, "I won't take you in for nothing, Hill. Those who don't have a job are not entitled to eat."

Hill, who thought he could hide in the safe haven of Fafna, was slightly taken aback, deeply hurt by Fafena's words.

"The answer?" said Fafnir.

Hill clenched his mouth stubbornly, and the teardrops "slapped" down his cheeks and landed on Fafnir's sleeve.

Unable to get an answer, Fife held Hill's cheek, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb, and said, "I'm tired today, let's go home first."

……

After a silent dinner, Hill returned to the room alone.

Jianuo stood calmly on the bar counter and polished the goblet until the water in the pot boiled, then took off the hibiscus flowers kept on the shelf and put them into the boiling water.

When the boiling water cools down, strain the hibiscus flowers carefully; pour the hibiscus water, rum, ginger syrup, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker with crushed ice and shake well.

Seeing Jianuo bartending after a long absence, Fafena was a little surprised.

The wine was poured into a cocktail glass and pushed in front of Fafnir.Favna stared at the wine glass for a long time before saying, "It's really rare...how did you think of mixing wine?"

"It's too wasteful for you to drink black tea and coffee tonight." Jianuo said.

Fife picked up his glass and took a sip, "Jianuo, will my words be too harsh today?"

Jianuo said, "Did you regret it until now?"

"I don't regret it, it's just..." Fafna paused, the taste of the wine flowed down his tongue into his mouth, the slightly sweetness dissipated at will, leaving only the lingering bitterness, "I made you look bad, Sorry, Kano."

Jianuo didn't pay much attention, and said, "That's really what I want to say... After all, it's a heavy word, and it might not be easy to cheer up."

I know.

Fafna raised his head and drank the wine in one breath, and heaved a long breath, "There are a lot of fish and dragons in the academy, Hill must learn to deal with strangers as soon as possible."

So let Hill take on part of the reception duties at the dessert house.

"As you said." Jianuo put the newly mixed cocktail on the table, "But if this continues, Hill will only get worse and worse. Don't you try to cheer him up?"

"I won't let him go..." Before Fafna could finish his words, Long's keen hearing caught the subtle movement in the attic.Fafna stood up and disappeared in front of the bar in a second.

gone.

Jianuo looked at the empty high stool after Fife disappeared, and then moved to the second glass of cocktail that hadn't moved at all. Jianuo sighed softly, picked up the drink and took a sip.

It's so sweet... The owner who dislikes the sweet taste drank it without any complaints.

Is it because of restlessness?Even a dragon, there will be times when he regrets what he has done.Jianuo smiled, the clear wine swayed slightly with a shimmer.

……

……

In the room, Hill rolled up the quilt and curled up in the corner of the sofa bed with tears in his eyes.

Hill had been hiding in the room and waiting since dinner, but he couldn't wait for Fafnah.The longer Hill waited, the more uncomfortable it became, the teardrops in the corners of his eyes rolled bigger and bigger, as if they would fall down at any time.

The sleep book was placed on the table, and Neil struggled to get out of the book.It dragged its chubby body and called to Hill: "Chirp!"

Is it Neil?

Hill raised his head, his red and swollen eyes were full of grievances and discomfort.

"Chirp." Neil trotted over in fright, climbed onto the sofa bed and hugged Hill with his small arms.Because the body is too bulky, the stomach bounces when running over, which is funny and cute.

Hill was teased by Neil's appearance, and felt less uncomfortable in his heart.

Neil, is Mr. Fafnir really angry?Hill hugged Neil, and put his face next to Neil's, so as to soothe his restless mood.

Neil touched Hill's face with his little paw, and said, "Chirp." Fife was not really angry.

But I made Mr. Kano angry.Hill was listless, grabbed Neil's little paw, squeezed it once and for all, thinking: Mr. Garno said I was not helpful.

"Chirp." Did you help?

……No.

Hill became more depressed, sniffling, with tears in his eyes, thinking: I don't want to go to the store.

The gathering of strangers made Hill defenseless, and since Fife was not around, his lack of sense of security made him extremely afraid of such an environment.

Neil looked solemn, and patted Hill sternly, "Chirp!" People who don't work have no food to eat.

Hill lowered his head, muttering unhappily in his heart: Why did you say the same thing as Mr. Fafner.

"Chirp." Can't escape.

Hill reluctantly pouted, thinking: I can do some other work, I can learn everything.The shop is horrible... I don't want to go.

It was the first time that Neil felt that Hill was so stubborn, so he could only continue persuading him in another way: "Jiuwu." Hill, don't you want to go to school with Minie?

When mentioning the school, Hill was a little moved.

...I don't want to go to school, I want to be with Mr. Fafnir all the time.

Hill insists on maintaining his own opinion, which makes Neal both happy and worried.If Hill has been reluctant to contact people, he will always rely on himself when he grows up.This violated his original intention to take Hill in.

"Chirp." But Fafe would prefer children who are independent, assertive, confident and cheerful.

Hill frowned dubiously, this sharp gaze made Neil feel uncomfortable.Hill thought: Neil, you seem to know Mr. Fafner very well.

Neil was left speechless by the questioning. Hill was a very sensitive child, and he would instinctively grasp many details of the truth.

Mr. Fafnir's thinking is not that simple.Hill rubbed Neil's little head, thinking seriously.

Neil squinted his eyes and curled his tail.

Child, you understand me very well.
