Chapter 97 The sky has cleared up, the rain has stopped, and Miss Crown Guard feels like she can do

By the time Lu Qi walked out of the scientific research institute, it was already approaching evening outside. The light of the setting sun stretched people's shadows long, and the sky was reflected in the soft light.

Get on the carriage and return the same way, first taking Navis and the others back to the workshop.

As for the follow-up of the Scientific Research Institute, Wen Huade will take care of it, whether it is manpower arrangements or other various needs.

They will all help Lu Qi solve it.

These are the various benefits of discussing cooperation with the government. With the participation of the scientific research institute, Lu Qi can basically save a lot of money.

After leaving the workshop, the setting sun hanging in the sky moved downwards.

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Lu Qi stretched out his waist and felt a sense of relaxation all over his body.

"Huh?"

Just when he was about to board the carriage, he turned his head strangely and looked towards the end of the street.

Upon seeing this, Yourna asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"nothing."

Lu Qi withdrew his gaze from the empty end of the street, got on the carriage, and thought for a few seconds.

Just now, he vaguely felt someone staring directly at him. There was no doubt that this was his sixth sense reminding him, but when Lu Qi looked in the direction of his gaze, he found nothing.

After realizing that he had no clue, Lu Qi simply stopped thinking about it, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage drove all the way, and when the setting sun showed only a few corners, it stopped at the door of the house.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Qi was already accustomed to seeing the courtyard door open.

Entering the yard, you can see that there are two more rocking chairs and sun umbrellas and other complete supporting facilities, neatly placed in the yard, as if this is some kind of holiday beach.

Lux and Fiona were lying on it, basking in the sun leisurely. On the table next to them, there was an ice cream and a glass of ice-cold Coke each.

Seeing that the two of them were living more comfortably than himself, Lu Qi tugged at the corner of his lips and didn't bother to say anything else, lying on his rocking chair.

The rocking chair swayed, and the courtyard was very quiet, except for the whir of the water-powered windmill.

None of the three people spoke, quietly enjoying the leisure time and feeling the gentle breeze.

This chair seems to have some kind of magic power. Coupled with the quiet atmosphere, just lying on it makes your body not want to move, and your brain doesn't want to think about other things.

Both body and mind were completely relaxed at this moment.

Even Fiona was defeated by the lazy comfort all over her body.

Until some time later.

Lux was the first to slowly open her eyes. After waking up, she seemed to have not woken up, staring blankly at the sky where the last bit of sunset was gradually dissipating.

Then he touched his stomach and murmured to himself: "I'm hungry."

After the words fell, Fiona on the side slowly opened her eyes.

Compared to Miss Crown Guard who is unwilling to move even if she knows she is hungry.

Fiona stood up from the rocking chair, unconsciously raised her arms and stretched.

If Lu Qi opened his eyes at this time, he would be able to see her graceful body curves.

After a lazy session, the laziness all over my body also dissipated a lot.

At this time, she belatedly followed: "I'm hungry too."

Lux also broke free from the seal at this moment, sat up from the chair, touched her stomach and sighed: "I'm so hungry that I have no energy left."

After saying that, the two women looked at the third rocking chair at the same time.

They were obviously hinting at someone.

However, the person who was hinted turned over and continued to sleep as if he didn't hear it.

Two minutes later, Lu Qi reluctantly opened his eyes and sat up.

Turning around, you can see the two eldest ladies who have been staring at you and saying nothing.

These two eyes were piercing his back.

As a prince, he has always been free and at ease. Ever since these two guys started coming to have a meal, Lu Qi felt like he was at work for the first time.

No, this won't work.

It seems that the lesson learned yesterday was not enough.

Thinking silently in his heart, Lu Qi stood up, scratched his head lazily and headed towards the kitchen.

Lux immediately followed behind and reminded: "I haven't eaten the candied haws I promised last time."

Lu Qi yawned and thought for a while, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

I don’t know what I did last time, but I promised Miss Crown Guard that I would give her a taste of the candied haws when they are ready.

But these days, I have forgotten about it.

It's a good thing that I forgot about it. When I thought about it, Lu Qi also wanted to eat it. He was a sweet tooth.

The last time I saw red heart nuts when I was shopping, I immediately thought of candied haws.

So he said: "Then let's make candied haws first to satisfy our stomach."

Lux immediately nodded expectantly: "Okay, okay."

After arriving in the kitchen, Luqi asked Lux ​​to go to the basement freezer to bring up the refrigerated red hearts.

Although so many days have passed, the red heart fruits are still fresh. This kind of fruit has a long shelf life, plus it was frozen after buying it.

Now put it aside to thaw, and Lu Qi began to prepare it.

The most important thing about candied haws on a stick is the layer of syrup on the outside. Authentic candied haws on a stick are carefully made.

Despite the simple way of making candied haws, the quality of candied haws actually varies.

The quality of the sugar and the cooking technique are very important, and the quality of the red heart fruit, that is, the hawthorn, must also be high.

Time passes minute by minute

When Lu Qi brought out a plate of skewered candied haws, Lux's eyes immediately lit up.

The red fruits are arranged on bamboo sticks according to their sizes, wrapped in crystal clear sugar syrup, and sprinkled with a layer of white sesame seeds. They look like a small tree full of fruits, which is really tempting.

Just this good-looking appearance conquered her in an instant.

There is a kind of delicious food that looks delicious.

Fiona also looked at it. Judging from the appearance, the candied haws was indeed very tempting, but she had no interest in sweets.

In her opinion, only children would linger over sweet things.

It's nothing more than a combination of sugar and red berries, how delicious can it be?

He looked at Miss Crown Guard who narrowed her eyes happily after taking a bite.

Fiona laughed in her heart, picked up a bunch, looked at it, then opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Click", you can hear a crisp sound coming from your mouth, but the outer layer of sugar syrup is not as hard as expected, and it quickly melts in your mouth.

This kind of candy is surprisingly sweet but not greasy, and coupled with the pulp of the red heart fruit, the sweet and sour feeling spreads in the mouth, as if it has produced a wonderful reaction.

Miss Jian Ji's cold eyes suddenly lit up at this moment.

Delicious.

Fiona unconsciously took another bite. She suddenly fell in love with the sweet and sour taste. Without paying attention, she had already finished the bunch of candied haws.

Licking her red lips, she stretched out her hand to get the second bunch.

At this time, he noticed Lu Qi's eyes.

She stretched out her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Qi smiled: "Nothing, is it delicious?"

Fiona didn't answer, but nodded slightly.

Lu Qi then smiled and said: "That's good, I thought you weren't very interested in this kind of sweets."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be laughing at her, Fiona continued to stretch out her hand, got the second bunch of candied haws, and tasted it quietly.

Recalling her previous opinion that only children would linger over such sweet things, Fiona couldn't help but blush a little.

Savoring the taste of candied haws, she felt a little lucky that she didn't say what she just thought.

I have made a lot of candied haws. Although it can appetize and aid digestion, it cannot be eaten as a meal.

Afterwards, Lu Qi began to prepare today's dinner.

If there are many people, the most basic thing is three dishes and one soup. He is walking around in the kitchen alone, but he doesn't dislike the process of making delicious food.

Outside in the living room, Lux and Fiona were playing backgammon, improving each other's chess skills.

Lux basically lost the game, and Fiona also gradually regained her confidence during this winning streak.

Start preparing for tonight's revenge battle.

After a hearty dinner, the three of them gathered in the living room.

The person sitting opposite Fiona has been replaced by Lu Qi.

As for Lux, she couldn't beat either of them, so she could only watch from the sidelines.

"What should I say, is it still the same punishment as yesterday?"

Lu Qi looked at Fiona opposite and asked.

"No, the punishment just like yesterday was a bit too boring."

A faint smile appeared on Fiona's lips, and she said calmly, "I think it would be better to add some punishment."

This surprised Lu Qi.

He was still thinking about how to open his mouth to increase the punishment, but he didn't expect that the Sword Girl would shout up to her.

Naturally, Lu Qi would not refuse such an offer, so he said, "Have you thought about any punishment?"

Fiona thought for a moment and said, "If you lose, you have to practice sword practice with me."

"I'm still thinking about this."

Lu Qi helplessly raised his forehead and asked, "What if I win?"

"Am I just going to practice sword practice with you?"

"."

Staring at Miss Sword Girl's smiling face when she said this, Lu Qi was speechless: "You are so embarrassed to say that winning or losing as a co-author is punishment for me."

Fiona said: "Then you say it."

So Lu Qi also started to think about it. He saw Yourna on the other side and looked at her maid uniform. His eyes lit up and he said, "If I win, you can change into that outfit."

Fiona followed Lu Qi's line of sight, saw Yourna, and knew what clothes Lu Qi was referring to.

I couldn't help but turn around and look at him with disdain: "That's it?"

Lu Qi didn't care about this look, and said, "When you change into those clothes, you have to do what those clothes are supposed to do. What should I say?"

Fiona pondered for a second, raised her head and agreed: "That's it, my winning conditions will be changed to this, but you don't have to wear those clothes."

I just imagined the effect of Lu Qi wearing a maid uniform. Although I felt that I wanted to see it, it was unnecessary after thinking about it.

She felt that the punishment she just asked Lu Qi to practice swordplay with her was not enough.

Lu Qi's punishment was just right.

When Lu Qi loses, wouldn't it be the same to order him to practice swordsmanship? This way he can also order other things.

"good."

Lu Qi nodded.

After both parties agreed on this punishment, Lu Qi smiled casually and said, "You go first."

Noticing how careless this guy seemed, Fiona sneered in her heart.

Later you will know how stupid you are for underestimating your enemy now.

Last night and the day's study today, she has realized the true meaning of backgammon. She has now seen through the mystery on this small chessboard.

It can be said that when she was rubbing Miss Crown Guard just now, she didn't even use her full strength.

At the moment, it can be said that he has full confidence in winning Lucci.

She calmly picked up a white piece with her long white fingers and dropped it on the chessboard with confidence.

Seeing the expert demeanor displayed by Miss Sword Girl in every move, Lu Qi also narrowed his eyes and felt a little suspicious.

Did he really research something for her?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become a little more serious and prepared to take this chess fight seriously.

However, after a few moves, Lu Qi returned to his nonchalant attitude.

He raised his eyes and looked at Fiona opposite. Her expression was extremely focused, her cold eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and she played every move very seriously.

He chuckled in his heart and yawned lazily.

It turned out to be a false alarm, he thought it was so powerful.

It turns out that I just changed from a big novice to a small novice.

After all, he is still a rookie.

The one who was as serious as Fiona was Lux who was watching the chess game from the side.

She also focused her gaze on the chessboard and did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Fiona's thoughts.

In his heart, he was silently observing the two people's chess moves, looking like they were studying seriously.

After a dozen moves.

Fiona, who had been stubbornly resisting until now, slowed down her chess moves and became a little more nervous in her concentration.

She felt tremendous pressure and realized that every move she made next was crucial.

Lux also noticed that Fiona became more and more passive, her big eyes full of doubts.

Some people didn't understand how Lu Qi suddenly had such a huge advantage.

After a few more moves, Lu Qi's black stone landed on the chessboard.

"I lost."

Fiona gave up decisively.

Before Lu Qi could say anything, she analyzed the cause of the failure by herself, "I understand, all the problems lie in the six, seven, eight, eight moves. If I had been more cautious there, I would definitely not have lost. "

Lux looked at the chessboard and recalled it. Although she didn't remember it, she nodded.

Fiona, who had been analyzing herself for a long time, raised her head and looked at Lu Qi and said, "If you come again, I won't lose this game!"

There is still a strong sense of confidence in his words.

five minutes later.

The confidence on Fiona's face gradually disappeared, and she, who had always been calm, was now confused.

Another five minutes.

Fiona fell into the same confusion as yesterday, and she began to hesitate when playing chess.

After the final five minutes.

Fiona's delicate body trembled slightly, and she completely began to doubt life.

"How many games are there? Fifteen games, right, fifteen days." Lu Qi smiled faintly, and then said, "I think we can stop here today. You don't even have the desire to defeat me now." .”

Faced with such humiliation, Fiona could only lower her head and choose to swallow her anger.

Fifteen days, even when she heard this number, she felt a little desperate.

At this moment, she really had no desire to continue fighting, and her mentality was on the verge of collapse. She knew that with this mentality, she would not be able to defeat Lu Qi no matter how many more games she played.

Just when Lu Qi thought that today's chess trip would be over.

Next to her, Lux stood up with a confident look on her face: "I understand! Let me do it instead!"

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment and looked at her: "Do you mean to replace Fiona?"

"good!"

Lacus raised her head, "I already understand the real way to play backgammon!"

The weather has cleared up, the rain has stopped, and Miss Crown Guard feels like she can do it again.

Lu Qi looked at her in surprise: "Then please sit down."

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. I thought there would be no other gains today.

As a result, Lux took the initiative to kill him.

Fiona gave up her position at this time, and Lux ​​sat down with sufficient momentum, gave her a look that believed in me and said: "Watch me avenge you!"

Seeing her say this, Fiona nodded, a little light gradually appeared in her eyes, and she was ready to take a closer look at Miss Crown Guard's next operation.

"Then you go first."

Lu Qi spoke at this time and gave the initiative to Lux.

Lux suddenly asked: "What if there is a draw in the end?"

Lu Qi didn't know why she would ask such a question, so he smiled casually and said, "You win anyway."

"Okay!" Lux confidently grabbed a white stone and placed it on the chessboard.

In these dozen games of chess, she finally figured out a way to win!

The enemy is strong and we are weak. Head-on confrontation is not possible!

As the creator of backgammon, Lu Qi's strength must not be underestimated, and he will not be able to defeat him in a head-on battle.

So, at this time, I just pulled it with one hand!

Completely giving up the plan of victory and not taking the initiative to attack.

This is a tactic to stick to the enemy!

In the end, as long as there is no more moves to play, it will be a draw!

However, a draw is her victory!

Thinking of this, Miss Crown Guard laughed out loud in her heart.

However, as the chess game progressed to the twenty-fifth move, she could no longer laugh.

The smile on his face disappeared and he stared blankly at the chessboard.

"Huh? You seem to have lost, Miss Crown Guard."

Lu Qi pretended to be surprised at this time, dropped Heizi, and ended the five-game series.

Although he didn't understand where Lux's confidence came from at first.

But seeing Lux immediately follow him every step he took, her whole body filled with the aura of trying to block him, Lu Qi immediately understood what this girl was thinking.

No wonder the question about a draw is asked out of nowhere.

I have been thinking about some evil things in my head all day long.

If it was so easy to get stuck, the game of backgammon would be meaningless.

"It shouldn't be."

Lux looked at the chessboard in confusion, wondering what went wrong?

On the side, when she saw Miss Crown Guard standing up, the light that was still shining in Fiona's eyes at first dimmed again, and she felt a little numb.

I thought he was a strong teammate.

I didn't expect it was just a person giving away someone's head.

"There must be no blockage somewhere, let's try again!"

Lux looked at the chessboard and thought for a long time before coming to this conclusion.

She still didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea, so there must be some step that wasn't blocked well, and there would definitely be no problem with another game!
