Please Have a Cup of Green Tea

This is a typical aristocratic manor, with lush green trees, a sea of ​​flowers, and crisscrossed streets.

However, the men and women who are passing through it have no intention to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

The blond girl clutched the red-haired man's wrist and crossed the flowers and grass around the villa. The constant warmth from her fingertips made her feel the other person's deliberate indulgence.

A guide can drag the sentry along, and if the latter is reluctant, it is absolutely impossible.

In front of a secluded flower bed, she finally stopped and let go of each other.

"Finey, can you tell me what's going on now?"

The girl raised her head, her crystal clear blue eyes filled with worry.

Phoenix sighed, the coldness between his brows gradually subsided, replaced by a hint of helplessness: "Tesla, can I not say..."

The fact that the government and various forces compete for the genetic stock solution itself needs to be kept secret, and letting her know will only bring her danger.

"But I'm worried about you." The young lady's simple sentence blocked the rest of the man's words in her throat.

He was silent for a long time, and then pulled his lips, his voice a little difficult: "Thank you, I'm fine."

The blond girl was not satisfied with his response to whitewashing Taiping, and frowned: "But you are obviously not happy. And just now... why did you treat Tang with such an attitude..."

"You care about that guy?" The red-haired man looked at her and suddenly frowned.

"That's not it," the eldest lady seemed to be so excited by this sentence that her breath became unsteady. She stepped forward and approached Zhuma's face. In the sight of the other side's shocked gaze, her hand grabbed the clothes on his chest—

"What do I care about, can't you see it?"

The girl stared at his eyes like blue crystals covered with a layer of water mist, with a little grievance.

Phoenix's heart softened, his fingers subconsciously caressed the corners of her eyes, and gently rubbed: "Tesla, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to ignore your feelings, it's just... I'm very worried about that guy, there's something wrong with his way of approaching you. I'm afraid it's bad intentions."

As a lord, he has a powerful armed force in his galaxy, and there are countless gangs of star thieves that have been wiped out.

In the process of chasing down a small star thief group, he accidentally learned the true identity of Tang, the mecha genius who mixed into the super power academy. This guy's real name is Don Selt, and he is currently the most ferocious large star in the Federation. The leader of the intelligence department of the thieves group, who is young, also used a fake identity to get along with a small family, and is favored by the federal government.

Phoenix suddenly attacked today because of what Tang said to Bi Ming, "I invite you to see the stars at night".

Already in the "real ancient ruins", the sentries representing different forces will definitely dispatch an investigation tonight. If Tang is despicable enough, it is guaranteed that Bi Ming will be brought into the game, used as a pathfinder cannon fodder, or even deterred at a critical moment. chess pieces.

In order to stop the other party's "conspiracy", Phoenix interrupted Bi Ming's conversation with him at the risk of stunned, in order to prevent Qingmei from being deceived by him.

"Wait...Is there something wrong with Tang?" The eldest lady avoided his hand in embarrassment, and then asked, "Aren't you filming a show?"

Phoenix was helpless, he knew that if he didn't make it clear today, Bi Ming would not let him go, so he looked around and pointed to a building covered by green leaves at the end of the garden: "Go, go there, I'll tell you. a story."

On the tree trunk several meters away from them, the phoenix had already wrapped two golden **** with its wings and pressed them under him.

The audience in the live broadcast room is dark and can't hear the sound: ? ? ?

No, it's hard to see the world of "Fei Dai" CP. Is it easy for them to eat candy?

The resentment of the barrage was naturally not conveyed to the ears of the guests.

Soon, Bi Ming and Phoenix came to the door of a more remote building side by side.

"This looks like... a church?" The girl raised her head, looked at the cross above the white building, and murmured slowly.

Phoenix also raised his eyebrows: "You know this?"

"Well, I just saw that there are such places in some movies about Blue Star. It seems to be a marriage place."

"That's just a part. More often, it's a place for believers to communicate with the gods." The red-haired man raised his hand and pushed open the wooden door of the church. With a "squeak" sound, the scenery inside revealed—

The tall dome, the huge stained glass with the image of the Virgin, and the clean windows with bright light on both sides.

In the center there is a podium where the pastor gives the grace of God.

The neat wooden chairs on both sides have been cleaned by the "scavenger" to deal with the dust and the spreading rot, but the cracks during the decay cannot be filled, like wrinkles eroded by the years, staying on them.

The marble floor with patterns is cold and flat. After being cleaned by the robot, it seems that it will not be dirty if you walk on it with bare feet.

"It seems that the new cleaning robot from the Ministry of Science is very efficient."

"My family is preparing to upgrade all housework robots to this one, and it should be very useful." Bi Ming turned her head and watched Bamboo Horse close the wooden door with a curious look, "So Fini, what are you talking about? ? Mysteriously…”

The red-haired man took out a handkerchief from his shirt pocket, wiped the two wooden chairs closest to him, and motioned for Bi Ming to sit down first.

"Aren't they stable?" The eldest lady was a little tangled, but she still supported the arm of Zhuma and sat up slowly.

"It's okay, I checked." The man replied.

Fortunately, the wooden chair is not rotten enough to rot once sitting, and it is still very strong.

"Because the story is a bit long," Phoenix sat beside Bi Ming and looked at her sideways with a complicated smile, "Just treat it as a small talk."

"It's a bit like when I was a kid, Fini." The blond girl's hands were entangled, her head was down, and her voice was soft, "I always wanted you to be a guest at the house back then, because you would tell me stories about the outside world."

This is indeed a fragment of the original owner's memory. The red-haired little brother is good-looking, speaks well, and can also talk about a lot of interesting things - but every time the other party comes to the house, a group of children will be around him, so she is alone with him. There are very few opportunities for each other to play together.

Bi Ming thought, magnifying the regretful emotion of the original owner, it is not a lie to him.

The smile on Phoenix's lips deepened. In fact, he didn't remember the specific appearance of the green plum when he was a child. After all, he had many playmates at that time, and there was no shortage of a little girl. But seeing the current blond girl softly expressing her dependence on herself, those memories seemed to suddenly add a layer of golden light and be beautified infinitely.

"Then," his eyes turned to the glass painting in the distance, a little deep, "let's talk about it since I was a child."

"Eh?"

"At that time, there was a little boy who was rich, loved by his parents, and lived a happy and bright life." Phoenix smiled lightly, "Later, someone in his family discovered a distant and mysterious rich galaxy - at that time, everyone thought It's called 'Mystery' because there are so many meteorites there that it's like a labyrinth. People like to call that galaxy 'Phoenix' now, but it was later changed."

Bi Ming was stunned for a moment, this is telling himself... Is his family history?

"When exploring new galaxies, the little boy's family is very ambitious, because it is a borderless land, and the family has rich mining experience and can digest the treasure there. Later, they developed a lot of ore stars, and also gave them to the ore stars. The original inhabitants have brought a lot of job opportunities, built a port to develop their economy, and spent a lot of money on a scientific research team to improve the local environment."

"It's great." The eldest lady held her cheeks. She remembered that the Phoenix Super Galaxy seems to be still full of meteorites and land where no one can grow, and wildfires burn. "But can it really be improved?"

"Yes, but at a great price." Phoenix seems to be caught in the memory, "Opening up ports, improving soil quality, opening trading platforms... These all require a lot of money and time."

"These were all done well, and everyone was praising that family as the best ruler, and there was a celebration party for the establishment of Star Harbor—"

"Then..." Bi Ming suddenly stopped, because she saw deep and cold hatred in Zhuma's eyes.

"Then the family that was so tired and finally thought they could relax and enjoy the results, except for the little boy who was lying in the cabin due to illness that day, all of them were killed by the local aborigines contacting the interstellar pirates." The red-haired man made a mockery. of laughter, "Do you know why?"

Bi Ming couldn't bear it, and shook his head gently.

"Because of the lack of people's hearts. That family brought countless benefits and fed the ambitions of the local indigenous people, so they tore up the original contract with the family, and attracted the most vicious interstellar pirate group at the time, promising to take all the family's The assets are divided into two and shared with the star thieves. At the same time, those indigenous leaders can also gain direct jurisdiction over the galaxy and control the port to swallow all the interests."

Bi Ming thought about it, no wonder that only Phoenix is ​​active in the public eye now in that huge family.

She seems to remember that the family invited the elders of the Phoenix family to be guests several times, but they were all declined.

At that time, the original owner's parents also complained about the other party's aloofness. Is this the truth?

"Fini..." She looked at Zhuma's arm trembling with anger, and quietly raised her hand to cover it, offering silent comfort.

Phoenix closed his eyes and his voice gradually slowed down: "The lingering little boy escaped under the protection of the only remaining housekeeper, but he was not reconciled... He wondered why the family was so kind, helping so many poor people, giving them money and work , to give them fresh air and water, to build a home for them, and yet be betrayed..."

"Later he figured it out because he wasn't strong enough."

"Because the family is too weak and has no real strong protection, it is impossible to resist in front of the star thief."

"If the law of the weak is the inevitable law of the world, then he wants to change such a cruel world."

Bi Ming felt that her hand was being held back by the other party, with scalding warmth, as if responding to her concerns.

"So, the 'Phoenix', which represents justice and protection, was born." Phoenix opened his eyes, his golden brown eyes staring at the girl, "The little boy found the meaning of life, revenge and protect the weak."

After his ability was awakened, he used the endless fire of the phoenix to turn those greedy people and their accomplices who betrayed their families and killed their relatives into black ashes, and became the last ruler of the galaxy.

After seeing his phoenix that could cover the planet and fly at the speed of light, the entire galaxy could not find any voice that dared to oppose him.

In addition, Phoenix has grown extremely fast, both in terms of force and political wisdom, and those careerists have died down a few years later and become the dogs under the command of this young and handsome great lord.

The eldest lady was gently locked by his gaze, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm, and coupled with the pity in her heart, she did not break free from the other party and held her hand.

"It's hard work." She knew that the other party didn't need sympathy and pity, just a little company and comfort.

Phoenix looked at her for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and his mood was much calmer.

"These are all things in the past," he rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips, full of meaning. "My housekeeper died of a genetic disease a few years ago, so the only people who know are you and me."

The eldest lady followed his wishes and asked directly, "Why did you tell me?"

"Because..." He chuckled lightly, then raised her hand, lowered his head, and kissed the back of her hand.

The warm lips left as soon as they touched, with a hint of lingering taste.

"Miss Eggbert, would you like to dance with me?"

Bi Ming watched him kiss her with a hand gesture, and her heart moved slightly—

This is a custom when a noble family holds a banquet. A man kisses a woman and invites a dance to show his love.

If a woman agrees to a dance, she is saying "I allow you to come after me".

If it's two—ahem, that's flirting, implying that men can have a great night together.

The blonde lady tilted her head, looked at the red-haired sentinel in front of her, and raised the corners of her lips.

"Fini, this is not a ballroom. We can't defile the holy church."

It was the first time that Phoenix had seen such a sly and lively demeanor, and her lightly blinking eyelashes exuded a unique charm that made one's heart itch.

"Since the church can be used for marriage, naturally it can also dance." The sunlight from the window was bright and warm, reflecting the smile on the man's eyebrows clearly.

I don't know how long it was silent. In the abandoned church, under the bright sunlight shining through the window lattice, the red-haired man took the blond girl's hand.

There is no music, only the sound of rustling leaves rubbing around, and the sound of the wind to accompany them.

Forward, backward, the girl's sky blue skirt rippled sweet arcs in the air.

Fingers intertwined and rotated naturally, in the eyes of the four, she saw the man's gold-like pupils, which was the fire that ignited him.

With his palms on her waist, he told her with a chuckle—

"If I had known this moment, I would have taught you how to dance when I was a child."

"What do you mean?" The girl almost buried herself in his shoulder, panting softly, "Do you dislike me for not dancing well?"

"No, I just envy..." He lowered his head and sighed in her ear, "The little boy who held your hand for the first time."

The eldest finally couldn't help laughing out loud, with a little reserved pride.

"It's a pity that there are too many boys who want to dance with me, and you may not get your turn."

The man couldn't help imagining in his mind a little blond bun in a princess dress, grabbing his hand, dancing with him while stumbling, and at the same time announcing how many little boys' invitations he had rejected today.

The past is precious because some things can no longer be touched, and those who cherish them cannot be recovered.

So he should cherish the present even more—

Phoenix looked at the eldest lady with flushed cheeks and arrogant eyebrows in her arms, her heart was soft and hot.

…

The dance is over.

"Wait, Fini, you still don't seem to tell me why you're angry today." The blonde girl seemed to remember something, raised her head suddenly, and grabbed the man's sleeve.

Phoenix touched her head, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "He's a wanted criminal, and I'm afraid he's not good for you."

"Eh?"

"That's it." The man's eyes fell on her collarbone, which was empty and nothing. "Tstedi, have you opened your present and read it?"

Bi Ming originally wanted to ask two more information about Tang, but he was a little confused by the topic: "Yes, yes."

The man thoughtfully said, "Don't you like it?"

"No, I like it very much." The blonde girl looked a little confused. "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you wear it?"

"Because it's very troublesome," the eldest said confidently, "I was made by servants at home for me, so I can't wear it myself."

Saying that, she looked at the man's two hands again. She gave the Chiyan defensive bracelet; "Also, didn't you wear it?"

The man smiled, raised his sleeves an inch, and with a slight shake, the scarlet flame ring on his wrist gradually took shape.

"This is a stealth model, very convenient, thank you."

Bi Ming was choked a bit, well, she was really casual when she picked it, and she lost one of them in the shopping basket without much care. She was really not familiar with this bracelet.

In the sight of the man, the eldest lady looked a little guilty. She turned around and picked up the small backpack that was put aside, and pulled out the gift.

"Look, I have it with me." She cleared her throat, "No littering."

Phoenix pressed his lips and nodded solemnly: "Well, I have a heart."

This guy is absolutely sarcastic—

The eldest glanced at him annoyed, then began to fight with the necklace.

"I'll do it." Looking at the girl's obviously jerky movements, the red-haired man shook his head and walked behind her, his tall body seemed to surround her whole body.

And after his hand took the necklace, his fingers went around her collarbone, stiffening on the back of her neck.

The soft and snow-white neck, the light fragrance of freesia that permeates the air, and the girl's subtle breathing... The sight, smell, and even the man whose senses are stimulated can't help but roll his Adam's apple, which can't be seen in Ome. From an angle, his forbearance eyebrows are tightly together, and the eyes are deep and dark.

"Okay." In order to end this too strong sensory stimulation, the man quickly buttoned the necklace, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Finey, what's wrong with your throat?" The ignorant eldest lady still looked at each other with concern.

Phoenix looked at her innocent face, and the chaos in her heart was instantly suppressed by a warmer emotion.

"It's okay, let's go." He smiled gently, pushed open the door, and let her go out first.

At this time, in the small church, the sunlight gradually turned into a pale orange color at sunset and twilight, covering the entire space.

They had already left, but they left behind a room of dreams.

And under the same sunset, at the top of the huge villa, the villain wearing black ear studs is bending his lips, looking up at the sky, there are many small broken clouds like cotton wool.

"It looks like a rainy day tonight."

"Huh?" He seemed to sense something. He turned his head and saw the red-haired man and the blond girl walking back from the depths of the garden side by side.

The two had a smile on their lips, as if they were talking about something pleasant.

The starry sky necklace on the girl's chest showed a magnificent luster under the setting sun.

Tang recognized this necklace. In a wealthy planetary belt before, the treasures they confiscated contained spar of the same material.

"Do you like this kind of gift? It seems that I have to work hard to make money."

The teenager touched the black earring subconsciously, revealing a cold smile.

Even if it is for the bird, this must be done well.

In the villa at night.

The crystal chandelier exudes warm orange light, the retro two-way staircase design shows the majestic atmosphere of the hall, and the living rooms on both sides even the carpets are original handmade fleece blankets, stepping on it is like walking in the clouds.

Lilith inhaled happily on the sofa with her bunny nest in her arms: "This is life, ooh..."

Nina laughed behind her: "But there is no prey, so I can only drink some nutrient solution tonight. Unlike Trisdai, you can also have a big meal with Phoenix."

"I'm sorry, the program team said that the dinner was postponed. It seems that the chef who made the reservation is not feeling well." Bi Ming, who came back with the nutrient solution from the other side, came over and shook his head.

"What a pity, I still want to watch your candlelight dinner." Lilith looked at Bi Ming with regret.

Bi Ming smiled and shook the bottle in his hand: "Today's nutrient solution is plum flavor, you can try it, I see that only this and vegetable flavor are left in the storage room."

"Vegetable flavor? How can there be such a horrible taste?" Lilith obviously didn't like it.

Nina: "I think the vegetable flavors and the compound fruit flavors are good."

"As long as it's a vegetable flavor, do you like it?" Lilith complained, "Speaking of which, the inhibitor is actually just as bad as the vegetable flavor."

Bi Ming, who was drinking nutrient solution in small sips, glanced at the communicator and suddenly paused: "...Lilith!"

"What's wrong?"

"You're amazing," Bi Ming projected the new notice from the program team to them. "As soon as the inhibitor was mentioned, it came."

Lilith was surprised: "Will it be delivered tonight? How do we get it?"

"The program team said that this is a superposition space, so it can't be airdropped, but the composition of the inhibitor is very special, and it can't be teleported by quantum, so we have to wait for the robot to go through the space channel."

There are many housework robots in the villa now, and Bi Ming and the others are also used to the existence of these guys.

"Is there a stable space channel here?" Lilith didn't believe it. "That requires a very powerful space sentinel to do it, right?"

"Or use a space breaker," Nina reminded. "It was developed by the Science Department. It's very convenient, but private ownership is not allowed."

"No matter what kind, as long as we don't let us go outdoors to pick it up." Lilith stroked her rabbit, feeling lingering fears, "If it rains heavily, I don't want to be drenched in soup."

Bi Ming glanced at the thunderclouds that were already rumbling outside the window, and had a strange premonition in his heart.

Always felt... something bad was going to happen tonight.

The author has something to say:

By the way, I changed a bug in the last chapter, the color of the gift, almost made Sean and Lilith get together, oh, it has now been changed back.
