holy flame

The market in the west of the city, more correctly, should be a special commercial area built in the military fortress of Bright Shield. Although it is also inside the fortress, it is a city within a city separated by a wall.There are bakeries, restaurants, taverns, tailor shops, jewelry stores, brothels and other facilities that should be owned in ordinary cities, and most of these facilities are the logistics supply department of Bright Shield, established by big merchants with procurement contracts. of.It is dedicated to serving soldiers on rotation, as well as senior officers including paladins and their families.

And Samuel took Julian straight to the only jewelry store here, but Samuel stopped suddenly on the way. He stood there, looking at Julian a little at a loss.

"What's the matter?" Julian has made up his mind now, so he doesn't want to think about those messy things anymore, he just wants to enjoy this date with peace of mind.And Samuel took his hand and moved forward. Although he didn't know where their destination was, the sense of peace of mind when they clasped his hands was enough to fill him with happiness...

"Sorry, I walked too fast without realizing it." On a date, it should be two people talking and walking slowly towards the destination, right?Of course, that was the experience and lessons of his previous life, and he couldn't experience the fun from that kind of leisurely walk at all.

"No, I think that's fine."

"Really?"

"real."

"Okay, let's continue." Samuel replied with a serious face, and then, as he said, he pulled Julian to move on.And Julian was laughing behind his back—how could he not laugh, such a lovely Samuel?

"So, this is our destination?" Looking at the signboard of the jewelry store, Julian couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't you like jewelry?" In his impression, the first gifts that can make his "girlfriend" happy are jewelry and flowers, but obviously no one sells flowers here.

"You want to give me jewelry?" Julian hesitated, as if there was some misunderstanding between them.

"Other gifts will decay and disappear one day, but only gold and gems will always shine brightly. Don't you want our feelings to be the same as these treasures?"

"Is this what you think in your own heart?" These words of Samuel really moved Julian, and even moved him a little, but could Samuel say these words to a person?

"No, from what I've heard, I think it should make you happy."

"..." Julian took two deep breaths, and he deeply understood what curiosity killed the cat.

"you're uncomfortable?"

"No, let's go in." Julian shook his head, and told himself repeatedly that this was his date, and he was here to have fun, not to make trouble for himself.

"it is good."

The jewelry store has no waiters or bodyguards, only a fat boss sleeping behind the counter, because this place does not have to worry about other security issues except for the occasional drunken fights among soldiers on duty.Because there was a bell tied to the door of the shop, the sound of the bell woke the shopkeeper when Samuel entered.He hastily wiped the drool from his mouth and began to greet Samuel and Julian.

"Hello, two distinguished guests! What do you want? The ones on the counter are in stock, and here are some patterns of other items in the warehouse. Of course, we also accept orders." Samuel's ears stunned the fat boss After a while, he soon returned to his true colors as a businessman, and began to introduce his products to the two guests without end.The jewelry here obviously takes into account the gender gap in this place. Most of the jewelry is for men, which is obviously different from other jewelry stores.

"Do you like it?" Samuel noticed that Julian was looking at a pair of earrings with a strange smile on his face, so he leaned over to ask.But he was a little strange, didn't Julian have pierced ears?

"No, no, no." Julian showed a little guilty, lowered his head and quickly ran to the counter on the other side.

Samuel stood there suspiciously, when the fat boss came over: "Your companion has a good eye, this is a new product that just arrived, ruby ​​milk..."

"Damn it!" The ranger with keen hearing rushed over quickly and covered the fat boss's mouth.

But it was obviously a bit late. Although Samuel only heard half of it, he also guessed what this thing was for.He glanced at Julian - which gave Julian a very bad feeling: "Can you show it to me?"

"Samuel! I don't like this kind of thing!" Helplessly letting go of the fat boss, Julian wanted to go crazy.

"But you were obviously very happy when you laughed just now." Samuel patted Julian on the shoulder, "Don't think about helping me save money, in fact, I have nothing to spend money on."

"..." Julian became more and more depressed. He really laughed a lot just now, because he was imagining how Samuel would wear them, but... Anyway, Samuel was going to give them to him, so I will give them to Samuel when the time comes. Muir wears it, it should be considered good, right?Julian consoled himself.

But when Samuel got the wrapped breast ring, what he said to him made Julian fall into the abyss of despair, and at the same time he understood that there was indeed something wrong!

"We're not at that stage yet, but I'm sure one day I'll put them on for you myself."

"Samuel?"

"Huh? What else do you like?"

"No more! No more! I just have a question for you."

"Just ask."

"What do you think about our relationship... Do you prefer offense, or defense?"

Julian's question was a bit abstract, and judging from the question mark on Samuel's face, he obviously didn't understand it at all.

"If we're going to have sex, do you want to be on top, or bottom?"

Now Samuel was even more puzzled. He looked at Julian and asked a question that made the latter want to hold his head in pain: "Aren't you down there?"

holy god!I!Julian, when exactly did Samuel misunderstand that he was inferior? !

"Bring a pen and paper, please. I want to order two necklaces." Samuel glanced at Julian who was stupefied for no reason, turned around and said to the boss.

And Julian, who finally turned around and wanted to defend himself, was stunned by the pattern Samuel drew on the parchment—it was a very simple pattern, a heart, with Samuel written on the left and looked at Julian, and then Samuel drew a line between the two hearts...

"Why take a heart apart?"

"Because you're half of me and half of me."

"This is really an excellent design!" The fat boss called out, "Master Samuel Paladin, can you let our chamber of commerce use your design?"

"You know who I am?"

The fat boss showed a modest smile: "The first paladin to appear in 50 years, how could we businessmen not know?"

"It works." Samuel nodded.

"Thank you so much! Then we will give you this customized necklace as a gift."

"unnecessary."

"Oh! Yes, yes!" The fat boss suddenly realized, "How can we give this kind of special commemorative jewelry? Please forgive my abruptness, then we will give another gift! My lord, I hope You and Lord Samuel can be happy."

The pick-up time was agreed, and the store owner sent it out of the store.Julian suddenly didn't care so much about the so-called up and down: "Samuel, are you willing to give me half of your heart?"

"Won't I also have another half?"

"Samuel, thank you, this is the happiest date I've ever had."

"Is this just our first date?"

"Yeah, so you will let me go faster in the future?"

"I'm trying." Samuel nodded.

Yes, you are trying to make me happy, and I will try to make you happy, even if I am away from you.

What Julian didn't know was that Samuel didn't understand his pun. He only thought that the "half of the heart" that Julian asked was referring to a half heart-shaped necklace, and this design may be because of the first half of the necklace in this world. It is a novelty to appear once, but in his past world, this is a bad street design, and every couple will have several similar accessories...——

The author has something to say: Keke!That... the ending will not be a tragedy, although there will be abuse in the process.But Su... can't make a book without cruelty...

ORZ originally wanted to cut Julian CUT...but I seem to like this character too...囧...so...you can rest assured
