Chapter 231 It seems that I am a little anxious!
In the afternoon, the sun was a little brighter, and it shone softly from the sky, seeming to dispel some of the coldness of this winter.
Lu Qi was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, drinking it leisurely.
Not far away, Miss Crown Guard came in and out of her room, looking extremely busy.
Lu Qi took a moment to glance at it and said, "Do you have so much luggage to pack?"
Hearing this, Lux stopped temporarily, wiped the sweat from her white face, and said crisply: "Of course, I bought a lot of things to take back this time."
Lu Qi took another look at the pile of luggage she had packed, gave her a "continue" look, and looked away.
There is a market in the hill city, and there are naturally merchants selling things in the market.
Even during times of war, normal business will not be affected.
Whenever she sees something weird these days, Miss Crown Guard will buy it.
It is natural for women to love shopping.
In short, I have bought a lot of them so far, and Lu Qi doesn’t know what they are used for.
Anyway, as long as she is happy.
After the battle, it was time to return to the capital, so Lux began to pack her luggage.
The energetic little face is already full of yearning and expectation for going home.
Being away from the royal capital for so long really made this girl miss her very much.
The time is set for departure tomorrow morning, and the matters regarding Hill City and the Gate of Sorrow will be handled by Jarvan IV.
Once the problems here are dealt with, he will return to the royal capital.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Lux, who had been busy for a while, let out a breath. Her face was now red after she had exhausted a lot of energy.
She blinked her bright eyes and saw that everyone was in a state of not disturbing each other and doing their own thing.
After thinking about it, he suddenly suggested: "How about we go shopping in the city today."
Hearing this, Lu Qi looked at her: "Don't you go shopping every day these days? Haven't you gone shopping enough?"
Lux said: "It's the last day after all."
After being outside for a long time, I want to go home every day.
But when I finally got home, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave this place.
After all, she had stayed in this hill city for almost a month. She had broadened her knowledge in this city and saw many scenes that even the king could not see.
For her, during this period, the impact and significance were still significant.
"Okay, let's go shopping."
After thinking for a while, Kashina agreed to the proposal.
Her thoughts were generally similar to Lux's. It would be good to take a look at the city before leaving.
At this time, Sona also stood up with her arms in her arms, seemingly agreeing with the proposal.
Kashina looked over and said, "Sister, do you want to go too?"
Sona nodded slightly.
"I'm going too, I'm going too!"
Bobby raised his little hand, eager to join.
"Where's Vayne?" Lux's eyes searched around and finally landed on Vayne: "Let's come together!"
"good."
Vayne nodded slightly.
She actually remembered that since she came to Hill City, she seemed to have never visited the streets here.
I just took this opportunity to get to know this city before leaving.
Finally, several pairs of shining eyes, full of expectation, all fell on Lu Qi.
Seeing that they all wanted to go out, Lu Qi had no choice but to get up from his chair and slouched: "Let's go then, let's take a stroll."
So, everyone set off quickly.
Walking on the streets, the atmosphere of this city is obviously different from when I first arrived.
Everyone in the city can see a heartfelt smile on their face, and the city seems to be more energetic.
The carriages drove one by one, heading out of the city.
Just like Lu Qi and others who are leaving, many people in the city are also about to leave the hill city.
They packed their luggage, got on the carriage, and headed for a better tomorrow.
After defeating Noxus, it won't take long for the Silver Mountains to return to their former appearance.
Although the war has brought wounds to these people that are difficult to heal, I believe that as time goes by, the wounds will slowly heal.
This is bound to take some time, but at least everyone has hope for the future.
Lux seemed to have endless energy, walking around the street, pulling Kashina and Poppy to look around.
A happy smile appears on the sunny and innocent face, which makes people feel better when they see it.
From a distance, this street seems to be a little brighter because of her.
While shopping, even though I have already bought a lot of things, there is always something new that Miss Crown Guard can find outside.
So, she started a new round of shopping.
Clothes, wood carvings, handicrafts
Lu Qi couldn't help but said, "You should buy less. We already have a lot of stuff at home."
"It's nothing like this, and it's not expensive! I also want to bring gifts back to my mother and the others."
Lux gave him a 'mind your own business' look and didn't listen at all.
Seeing this, Lu Qi said nothing and followed behind with a yawn.
Later, two energetic girls ran back and pulled the others away. Vayne, Katarina, and even Yourna were forced to join the shopping crowd.
Sona, who had always been soft and quiet, followed Lu Qi. Her bright blue eyes looked at the street scenery. When those joyful and happy emotions came to her heart, there was a bit of love on her face. Feeling.
She had seen the cruelty of war when she was young.
The same group of invaders, wielding cold-blooded weapons, broke into her first home.
Now, they have once again invaded her second home.
This was also the second time she saw the cruelty of war.
So, when she was walking on the streets of Hill City that day, she thought about what she must do.
Now, seeing everyone on the street, smiles bloom again on their faces, as everyone is immersed in the joy of victory.
She couldn't help but think of her distant first home.
The war on the Demacia border is over, but Ionia is still in the throes of war.
Lu Qi glanced sideways at the blue-haired girl next to him, and noticed a hint of depression in the eyes under the willow-leaf star eyebrows.
He stretched out his hand, quietly took the girl's soft and delicate hand, and said, "Are you thinking about Ionia again?"
Feeling the warmth from Lu Qi's palm, Sona's pretty face flushed, her eyes flashed, and she nodded lightly: "Yes."
Lu Qi thought for a while and said: "It has been many years since Noxus launched an invasion of that land. Their intentions have not been successful for so many years. This shows that the people there have not given up resistance. Believe me, it must be It will be fine."
Sona nodded again, with a smile in her soft eyes, and an ethereal and melodious voice came into Lu Qi's mind: "I also believe that they can drive out the intruders."
However, at this time, there was nothing she could do for Ionia.
Right now, even Demacia has a lot to do.
As if she was afraid of being discovered by the girls in front of her, after secretly enjoying the happiness of shaking hands with Lu Qi while shopping, Sona blushed and freed her little hand from his palm.
Lu Qi naturally didn't say anything and continued shopping slowly.
He was indeed in a good mood at this time.
However, when a glance behind him flashed, the hairs on Lu Qi's body suddenly stood up.
He knew this feeling very well, it was a feeling of danger warning.
He felt something was wrong for a moment. This sense of danger warning had not appeared for a long time.
His expression remained unchanged, he yawned and looked around casually for a few times. The street was a normal scene, with people coming and going, and there were constant sounds of conversations and carriages.
Nothing seems strange at all.
His suspicion grew.
Lu Qi believed that his sixth sense would not lie to him, so the danger he felt just now was definitely real.
Just a brief gaze made the hair on his body stand on end.
Good guy.
Lu Qi couldn't help but call him a good guy.
He suspected that he might have been targeted by something unclean.
Soon, this gaze appeared again, this time staring closely at Lu Qi's back, sending shivers down his spine.
This made Lu Qi's mood become serious and his eyes narrowed.
At this time, he and Sona walked past a stall on the street, where Lacus and the others were squatting there, studying the objects on the stall.
Seeing Lu Qi walking over, Lux immediately said: "Why are you walking so fast? Wait for us."
Lu Qi turned around and looked at the girl: "Just buy enough."
As he spoke, his eyes had taken in the scene behind him, and his expression remained unchanged.
However, my heart skipped a beat.
If he saw it correctly, the moment he turned around, a black shadow flashed past at the end of the street.
No doubt this is where the perception of danger comes from.
Although it flashed by, he was still convinced that he saw it. He suppressed his heart and acted as usual.
Next, it’s time to go shopping and do whatever you need to do.
After that, the same gaze never appeared again.
When we returned to our residence, it was already approaching evening.
After dinner, it was already dark.
There is nothing to do in the hill city, and today's rest is not enough, so everyone rests early and prepares to get up early tomorrow.
Seeing that everyone had almost left, Lu Qi looked at Catalina, who was also preparing to take a rest, and said, "Did you forget something?"
Katerina looked at him with her bright green eyes: "What?"
Lu Qi smiled faintly and said: "I remember someone said that it was impossible to recapture the Gate of Sorrow years ago. Now that it has been recaptured, it is natural that it is time to fulfill the promise, right?"
"Bet."
Catalina suddenly paused when she thought of this.
In his mind, the details of the bet that he didn't want to face suddenly came to mind.
If Demacia can take back the Gate of Sorrow before the year, then she will be responsible for warming Lucci's bed from now on.
Now, only half a month has passed, and the Gate of Sorrow has already been taken back.
In other words, from today on, she has truly become a bed-warming maid.
Seeing Catalina lowering her head and remaining silent, Lu Qi chuckled and said, "I was just joking. After all, I didn't expect anyone to be able to keep what they said in the first place."
When his words fell, they directly turned into a sentence in Catalina's ears: "Forget it if you can't afford it."
She raised her head, her beautiful face as cold as ice: "As long as it's warm, it's warm."
She, Katarina, is by no means someone who cannot afford to play.
After saying these words, Catalina walked quickly to Lu Qi's room, opened the door and walked in.
Seeing this, Lu Qi sat on a chair and drank hot tea leisurely, without any rush.
Catalina walked into the room and came to the bed.
Looking at the bed she often made, she took a deep breath, took off her shoes, and slowly lay down on it.
The bed board wasn't too hard, but it was quite cold, and I couldn't feel any warmth on my hands and feet.
Putting the quilt on her body, she finally felt a little more warm, and then she smelled the unique smell of Lu Qi on the quilt and pillow.
It wasn't unpleasant, it was a light fragrance that enveloped her.
The dark room was very quiet. Her eyes were staring at the dark ceiling without blinking, but Catalina felt that her heart was beating a little faster for no reason.
There were more and more thoughts in my mind.
What exactly is a bed warming method?
Just simply warm the bed, or...
A flash of panic flashed through her, and Catalina suddenly regretted that she had agreed to the bet so hastily.
In her opinion, it was simply impossible for Demacia to regain the Gate of Sorrow in less than a month.
But this guy only took half a month.
How confident she was at the beginning, but now lying on this guy's bed, Catalina's heart was so confused.
If I had known this, I should have confirmed the contents of the bet in detail.
Catalina kept thinking warmly, and the warmth in the quilt gradually increased. At this moment, the door was suddenly opened.
This made her heart skip a beat.
Lu Qi's footsteps were heard, and soon after, a flash of fire lit up the room, illuminating the room.
Catalina also saw Lu Qi not far away.
She was lying on the bed, and another man was not far from the bed.
This scene happened for the first time in Catalina's life.
Even though she had a cold personality, Catalina felt a little nervous inexplicably in such an ambiguous situation.
But she was no longer thinking wildly now.
In short, if this guy did something like that to her later, she would definitely not agree to it.
At that time, the reason was that there was no detailed confirmation of the contents of the bet.
After all, although she was downgraded to a bed-warming maid, she didn't like Lu Qi at all now. She just thought this guy was disgustingly cheap.
Everything I am experiencing now is thanks to this guy.
If this guy dared to talk about sleeping together, she would risk everything to let him taste how fast her knife was.
Lu Qi said at this time: "Is the bed warm?"
"Um."
Catalina replied coldly.
So, Lu Qi walked towards the bed.
Before he could speak, Catalina said directly: "I'm just responsible for helping you warm your bed. After all, you didn't say anything else when we made the bet."
"Of course."
Lu Qi replied matter-of-factly, then looked at Catalina on the bed, seemingly surprised by her words, and then suddenly smiled: "Have you thought of anything strange?"
Catalina was startled when she heard this. Looking at Lu Qi's half-smiling eyes, her breathing seemed to be suffocated.
broken!
She seemed a little anxious!
This guy obviously hasn't said anything yet. Doesn't her saying this directly mean that she has thought of a deeper meaning?
Lu Qi was thoughtful at this moment: "So this is what you understand by warming the bed."
Catalina's eyes finally showed a bit of shame and annoyance, and there was a hint of evil in her eyes: "It's you who insists on making such a weird request!"
Lu Qi looked at her like a kitten with fried fur, and glanced at her: "So how long are you going to stay in my bed?"
Catalina was startled again, then quickly sat up. As if she didn't want to stay here for a second longer, she reached out her jade feet, put on her shoes, and disappeared into the room with a quick step.
This sudden hand was revealed, which made Lu Qi slightly amazed.
What I saw just now must be Shunpo, right?
Moving instantly at an extremely fast speed, it is indeed fast enough.
Withdrawing his gaze, he lay on the bed, feeling the remaining warmth of Catalina under the quilt, and sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, it is very comfortable to have a maid who warms the bed in winter.
Now he was lying on the bed and didn't feel cold at all.
With a comfortable expression on his face, Lu Qi quickly fell asleep.
