Chapter 7: The Shock of Worldwide Destruction 4
I cut the corn into three pieces, spread butter and honey on it, and put it in the oven. It is now emitting a sweet aroma.
Xia Senshi sat on a chair, staring at me. Rouwan lay on his shoulder, his eyes turning greedy green.
I covered my mouth and laughed secretly. Xia Senshi was like this once in a thousand years, a completely lovable idiot in life! I still remember that I asked him to peel corn leaves just now, and he spent half an hour cleaning them. When he turned on the oven, he almost broke the rotary switch. He was clearly the one who caused the trouble, but he complained that the oven was not designed properly and needed to be remade...
"Ding!"
The oven finally finished working, and I had the heavy responsibility of serving the dinner that everyone had been longing for to the table.
The birch dining table was covered with a pastoral plaid tablecloth, with three high wooden chairs placed next to it. The green vase was filled with lilies that I picked from outside, and the atmosphere was extremely romantic.
Perfect! Would be even better with drinks.
As I was thinking this, Xia Senshi suddenly left his seat and said, "Wait a minute, I remember when I came here before, I tried a winemaking recipe. The wine should still be in the basement now."
Wow! Really?
Soon, he really brought a bottle of homemade wine. He poured a glass of wine for me and himself, and also poured a little for the meatballs. I couldn't wait to raise the glass and take a sip of the wine.
Oh my God! This is not wine at all, it's just grape juice with too much sugar added! Xia Senshi, you liar!
He lied to me and even said something sarcastic: "Haha, children can't drink alcohol!"
With a depressed look on my face, I picked up the steak on the plate and bit it fiercely.
Meatball was eating happily, and the bib on his neck was the same as if he hadn't tied it, and he was covered in meat sauce and grape juice. He quickly finished his portion and then began to covet my steak.
I leaned towards Xia Senshi depressedly, and then leaned towards him again.
Xia Senshi, who seldom smiles, was really happy today. He kept smiling. I almost thought he was such a warm and kind person. Especially when he accidentally took out a straw ring from his pocket, my heart skipped a beat and I was shocked.
"This...is this for me? Did you make this up yourself?"
Xia Senshi gave a piece of his steak to Meatball. He turned his face away, so I couldn't see his expression, but I saw that his ears were red.
I held the ring in my hand, feeling a little overwhelmed. It was a very ordinary grass ring with a small purple flower wrapped around it. Although it was very rough, my heart started beating uncontrollably when I thought it was made by Xia Senshi.
It was Xia Senshi! The genius boy Xia Senshi who kept people at a distance, only knew how to find fault, and was out of reach! He could actually weave a ring for me...
I really hope that time will stop at this warm and sweet moment, even if it is just an illusion! In the whole world, no one will disturb me except Xia Senshi and me...
After that "Ring Night", Xia Senshi and I returned to the days of me painting and him going out early and coming back late. Although we still ridiculed and bickered with each other as before when we met, I always felt something had quietly changed, such as the slight smile on our lips every time.
"Yan Dingding, have you gained weight recently? Your face has gotten bigger!"
"What? Thank you so much. In return, I have to tell you, Xia Senshi, your hair looks like it was chewed by a dog."
"You cut my hair, did a dog bite it?"
"you……"
That night, after dinner, we had our usual bickering. Xia Senshi finished washing the dishes and ran back to his room. I enjoyed the sea breeze for a while and then returned to my room.
Although I can never beat Xia Senshi in real life, I have "Contracted Devil"! In the comics I created, Xia Senshi can be manipulated by me as the author!
So, what do we arrange for our big devil to do today?
I bit my pencil and thought hard. How about this: today the big devil followed our lovely, kind, and beautiful heroine to the playground in the human world, but found that he was afraid of heights and the dark, and was scared out of his wits by the haunted house... The plot must be funny!
As I thought about it, my blood started to boil. Could it be that Xia Senshi, this person who looked so cold, was really afraid of heights and the dark?
With this in mind, I started writing as if I was on fast forward, without any pause, and smoothly drew to the ending of this chapter - the devil was holding back the feeling of nausea, and was dragged off the roller coaster by the heroine. His tall and handsome image was about to collapse, and when the heroine clamored to ride it again, with a "puff", the devil turned into a baby biting a pacifier.
"Hahaha!"
I rolled over on the carpet several times, laughing non-stop at my own drawings. Whether it was the big devil in the form of an adult man or a baby, they were all drawn based on Xia Senshi's face, which really made me laugh to death!
“Bang! Bang!”
Huh? Why is there a sudden explosion outside the window? It sounds like fireworks!
I crawled to the window, and sure enough, on the opposite bank not far away, bunches of fireworks rushed into the sky, and then bloomed into huge flowers one after another where the sea and the sky met, pink, red, yellow... and in the shapes of hearts and stars.
I ran downstairs excitedly and came to the beach barefoot. Oh my god, the fireworks were so beautiful, the whole sky was full of brilliant light, like a grand confession of the sea to the sky.
At a time like this, it would be nice if there was someone to watch the fireworks with me...
I was lost in thought, and unexpectedly there was someone standing next to me.
Xia Senshi was standing three steps away from me, his honey-gold hair was a little messy due to the sea breeze, and the pink fireworks reflected on his face, making it blush. He had one hand in his off-white linen beach pants, and the other hand gently held a drawing, as if holding something very precious.
He is still so handsome that people can't take their eyes off him.
The brilliant fireworks continued to bloom, and the world seemed to have become a grand backdrop, just to witness this confession of the century.
I couldn't help but make a prayer gesture, but I didn't know what I was praying for.
However, I suddenly discovered that what Xia Senshi was holding in his hand was a very familiar drawing. It was the "Big Devil - Unexpected Passion" that I had just finished drawing today!
Xia Senshi, holding the draft of the drawing, had a half-smile on his face, as if he saw through everything, and raised the drawing towards me.
Oh my god! Xia Senshi saw it! It's over... Looking at his expression, he must have recognized that the prototype of the big devil is himself!
My face was hot, and I didn’t know if it was because I was excited to see such gorgeous fireworks, or because I was shy because Xia Senshi suddenly appeared.
Oh my God, he must have seen me looking so silly!
My thoughts were a little vague and my heart was beating with the sound of the fireworks.
But now the only thought that controlled my actions was that I couldn't let Xia Senshi take my drawing! Otherwise, it would be terrible! Quick, Yan Dingding, take it back first!
I rushed over and snatched the drawing back, then ran two steps towards the beach house. I don't know why, but I turned my head subconsciously and saw Xia Senshi's lips moving a few times, as if he was talking. But even though he was not far away, his voice was covered by the sudden sound of fireworks and dissipated in the salty sea breeze.
"Yan Dingding..."
In the blink of an eye, the words disappeared without a trace, and when they reached my ears, only the three words "Yan Dingding" remained.
I trembled, feeling that this was a very important sentence, but after Xia Senshi finished speaking, he smiled faintly and walked away alone. He turned into that distant shadow again.
Since he didn't say it a second time, it shouldn't be something important, right?
The fireworks seemed to have been blooming all night, but fireworks were just fireworks and would eventually disappear from the sky. After that night, the devilish training was over.
The next morning, Xia Senshi pulled me out of bed. The scene was exactly the same as the day I came to the beach, but my mood was two extremes. When I came here, I didn't want to leave Hanamachi Research Institute, but when I left, I was reluctant to leave this beach house.
"Yan Dingding, you have half an hour to sort out your garbage, otherwise you will have to find a way to go home."
"Xia Senshi, you are such a devil! Don't you know that it takes a girl at least an hour to get ready before going out? Also, I don't want to ride in your shabby car! I'm afraid of vomiting!"
"So you really want to go back by yourself?"
"No, I just said I need another half an hour. Please consider that I have been working so hard for you for the past half month..."
…
Goodbye, Silver Beach!
Goodbye, blue sea and sky!
Goodbye, romantic beach house!
This time, I didn’t feel that riding in the car driven by Xia Sen was scary. I even had the leisure to bite my fingers and look at the scenery outside the window.
"Xia Senshi, your driving skills have improved!" I gave Xia Senshi a thumbs up.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully: "My driving skills have always been superb, but I modified this car a few days ago, and it is indeed much more stable to drive."
My face turned pale and I clutched the seat belt tightly in fear: "You don't have to say this kind of thing..."
After this time alone together, I always feel that my relationship with Xia Senshi, even if we are not good friends, is developing in the direction of good friends. It's really magical to think about it!
When we got back to Hanamachi Research Institute, Xia Senshi was exhausted after driving for several hours, and I was a little tired too. However, the researchers at Hanamachi Research Institute were unusually not staying in their own laboratories, but gathered in the lobby on the ground floor of the castle. I then realized that the entire lobby was set up as a huge party scene, and everyone was smiling and discussing something intensely.
I don't know when, a huge projector appeared in the hall, and a piece of news was playing on the screen in a loop - Ji Feibai held a press conference yesterday and released his new work.
But when I saw his work, my luggage fell to the ground with a thud. Because the so-called new work of Ji Feibai displayed on the screen was clearly the design that Xia Senshi had shown me, the nano lizard robot!
