After blowing out the candles, Carl opened his eyes. The moment the lights were turned on, Cromway greeted his eyes. His usually frosty handsome face was softened a lot under the shade of the orange candlelight.

Carl raised his eyes, and when his eyes met, Karl saw clearly the scenery reflected in Cromway's ice-blue eyes—it was his shrunken figure.

At this moment, Karl felt as if his heart had been hit by something, as if the wings of a butterfly trembled slightly, flower buds bloomed, and a tiny electric current passed through Karl's heart and lungs——

It turned out that the wish I made had already come true.

After singing the birthday song, blowing out the candles and making a wish, it's time to eat the cake.Looking at the exquisite and beautiful cake in front of him, Karl was still a little bit speechless for a while.

Seeing the little mermaid in front of him wrinkled her face into a ball, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were all tangled together, and aware of his unbearable heart, Cromway couldn't help but twitched a smile.

"Eat it with confidence, there will be another gift later, and there is also a little mermaid like the one on the cake."

"……Really?"

Carl raised his head upon hearing this, and stared at Cromway with unbelievable surprise written in his eyes.

Seeing Cromway nod his head, Karl felt relieved and raised the knife and fork at hand, but he seemed cautious when cutting.

After cutting a piece of cake from his own plate, Carl also cut a piece of cake for Cromway.Cromway originally wanted to help, but seeing Carl's cute and cute appearance, he didn't go forward any more. Instead, he sat aside and watched Carl with a smile, his deep eyes filled with tenderness.

Because this is Karl's first time cutting a birthday cake, he is not skilled in using a knife and fork, so Karl accidentally got some cream on his face. The small piece of mousse covered half of his face.

"Huh... finally cut it."

Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down again.

"...why don't you eat the cake and look at me instead?"

Seeing that he had picked up a spoon and dug a small scoop of cake from the plate and put it into his mouth, but Cromway, who was sitting opposite, was unmoved, but was still watching him, with a rare spring-like smile on the corner of his mouth , Carl blinked with a spoon in his mouth.

Cromway didn't answer, but leaned slightly and stretched out his hand to Carl. Carl subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he heard the man's low voice filled with the fragrance of the cake into his ears.

"do not move."

The big hand with gun calluses caressed the mousse on Carl's cheek, and gently wiped off the mousse on his cheek.

"All right."

Hearing Cromway's voice again, Carl realized what had happened just now, and his cheeks flushed immediately, not knowing whether it was because of his own embarrassment or the warmth from his cheek just now.

After the episode, the two finally ate the cake.

Carl dug a small spoonful of cake with a spoon. As soon as the cake entered the mouth, it immediately became sweet and sweet in the taste buds. The taste immediately burst into Carl's mouth, like an elf dancing lightly on the tip of the tongue. Mousse The sweetness of the cake, the aroma of the fruit, and the softness of the cake, all the elements are integrated together, making people mouth watering and lingering.

"How do you like the taste?"

Seeing that Carl didn't speak after taking a bite, Cromway looked at the little mermaid in front of him, and there was a bit of questioning cautiousness in his usually calm eyes.

"……Delicious!"

After completely swallowing the bite of cake in his mouth, Carl's eyes lit up, and he was not stingy with his praise.

"The cake is sweet and the fruit is fresh. Although I haven't eaten cake before, it's really, really delicious!"

Carl said, smiling brightly, with a bright smile on his face, as if it could improve the mood of those who saw it.

"That's fine."

Although Cromway's expression didn't seem to have changed much from the beginning to the end, Karl could clearly feel that after hearing his answer, the other party seemed to be relieved, and seemed a lot more relaxed.

After eating the cake on the plate, Carl smacked his lips. The taste of the cake hadn't dissipated in his mouth, and the sweetness lingering on his tongue reminded him of the delicacy he just tasted.

... Is he dreaming?In the last life, I was despised and bullied by Lindsay in every possible way, and I even hated being different because of this, and wanted to change and cater to me.

But now, without any changes, I can still see these beautiful scenery, taste these delicacies and desserts that I have never eaten before, and even enter the college that I never dared to imagine in my previous life.

Carl stretched out his hand and pinched his wrist, but the pain told him that this was not a dream, but reality.

It turns out that in this world, there are really people who would regard such a strange him as a treasure.

The two ate half of the cake, and Little A took the rest and put it in the smart ice bin for storage. Interstellar's freezing safety device has been very developed, and the food can be stored for a long time in a vacuum environment. Don't worry about spoilage at all.

Cromway did not lie. After putting away the cake, he took out another small box. Although this box was much smaller than the box that contained the cake before, it was also exquisitely packaged. It could be seen that the owner must have It took a lot of thought.

"Thanks……"

"Shou Xing doesn't need to say thank you."

Seeing that Karl seemed to be thanking him again, Cromway looked up at him, and Karl swallowed the word "thank you" back in his throat.

Karl opened the gift box and found that it contained a small crystal ball.

The objects in the crystal ball are almost replicas of a small mermaid palace, the workmanship is so exquisite that even the coral placed in it is lifelike, and there is a blue little mermaid exactly like the cake sitting on the reef beside it.There are also flashes of quicksand in the crystal ball, as long as the crystal ball is turned upside down, those flashes will slide down from the top layer, pattering, and the flowing wind returns to snow, like raindrops of snow, which looks romantic and dreamy.

Seeing that Carl's eyes were straight, Cromway reached out and pressed a button on the base, and the crystal ball immediately emitted soft light. The light was dreamlike, grotesque, and shining brightly. You can even switch between different lights. light effect.

"so beautiful……"

Looking at the radiant crystal ball in front of him, Carl murmured.

"Is this little man sitting on the rock me?"

Taking a closer look, Karl pointed to the little mermaid sitting on the reef and asked.

"Ah."

Cromway nodded.

"It really looks like me!"

Seeing the exquisite workmanship of the crystal ball, Karl couldn't help but praise, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, and said with his chin:

"...But I feel that it's too much to have only one small person sitting. It would be great if I could have another miniature version of you to accompany me."

Looking at the solitary figure of the villain on the reef, looking extraordinarily lonely, Karl couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Carl was bewildered, and he didn't realize what he said until after he finished speaking. When he saw Cromway in front of him looking at him with fixed eyes, his cheeks suddenly flushed.

"I... I'm just talking about the model of the villain, you, don't get me wrong..."

Carl lowered his eyebrows, but his blushing cheeks revealed the panic in his heart.

When Cromway saw this, the corner of his mouth curled into a slight arc.

"Okay, I'll ask the merchant to customize another one after a while."

"...In that case, what should I do with the one you gave me? Wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

After a moment of inner struggle, Karl finally recovered from his previous emotions. He thought for a while and said:

"Or you can make another one and put only one of you in it. It would be nice to make a pair."

"But don't you think a villain looks too lonely?"

Cromway stared into Karl's eyes. For some reason, Karl felt that the other's eyes were like a deep pool of water, able to see through all his inner thoughts.

"nothing."

Carl shook his head.

"Just put two crystal balls together, and..."

Carl said, but his face turned red again, even the tips of his fair ears were stained with light pink like cherry blossoms, his light golden eyebrows trembled slightly, but he muttered:

"...The little mermaid in reality is already accompanied by someone."

After eating, Carl hugged the gift box, picked the crystal ball in a prominent place in the compartment of the bedroom bookcase, and carefully put it away.Seeing that Cromway was about to turn around and go back to his room, Karl made a sound.

"that……"

Seeing Cromway's icy blue eyes staring at him, for some reason, Carl felt like he was carrying a deer, his heart was beating fast, and he had already typed out countless drafts, but he was actually about to say something. Time, still stuttering.

"...I saw the videos and comments on the Internet. I heard that the Langman Empire originally planned to cooperate with the Baik Kingdom in business and trade. Did I cause you trouble again this time..."

As he spoke, Karl's head drooped involuntarily, and his fingers kept twisting the corners of his clothes. He looked extremely nervous, as if he was waiting for the other party's trial.

"You don't need to apologize for this matter, it's not your fault."

Kerenway's expression was calm, but his eyes showed a chilling determination, like a lake that looked calm on the surface, but in fact, there were already turbulent waves underneath.

"I will check the IP thoroughly to find out who leaked the video on the star network."

"what……"

Karl was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a trivial matter would bother the other party so much, so he waved his hand quickly.

"No need, maybe the person who spread this video didn't have any malicious intentions, but just thought..." It's just a shame.

As he said that, Carl's cheeks seemed to glow red, and he didn't have the embarrassment to say the last few words.

"If it's true, it's a good thing, but if it's not." The ice-blue eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sharp edge like ice blades, "Then I will definitely not let it go."

It's not as simple as Carl thought. Cromway's sense of smell is much sharper after being in the officialdom for many years. He naturally knows that there are not many coincidences in this world. All seemingly coincidences are actually the result of deliberate planning by someone behind the scenes result.

Therefore, even if the video was leaked unintentionally, the people behind it must have done it intentionally.

"... Am I really useless... Not only can I not help you every time, but it will cause you trouble."

Seeing that Cromway's eyes were sharp and he seemed confident, but he couldn't help, Karl was downcast, like a wilted morning glory.

Cromway shook his head, looking at Carl with firm and sincere eyes.

"I never thought that what you brought was trouble. On the contrary, the matter this time is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. At least from the speed of transmission and the direction of public opinion, it can be seen that there are people behind it, including It was also the news that you were my pheromone matching partner last time.”

After being reminded by the other party, Carl also recalled instantly, it seems that the Xingbo account that released the video this time is owned by the same media company as the marketing account that released the nonsense literature last time, both of which are Murphy News.

Although whenever news is released, all news companies will rush to publish it.After all, news is time-sensitive. Who doesn't want to be the exclusive first-hand news?But it's intriguing that these two times are so coincidental.

Carl is still thinking about who is going to guide the public opinion to fan the flames and target himself in this way, or Cromway, and who is most beneficial to do so.

Seeing the little mermaid frowning and thinking, looking very distressed, Cromway said in a deep voice of relief. His voice seemed to possess some kind of magical power, which made Karl's worries disappear in an instant.

"Rest early. You don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

"...Okay, I believe you."

Karl nodded, showing a smile, his eyebrows and eyes curved like two crescent moons in the water.
