Chapter 298: Brother, let’s enjoy this experience by ourselves
Lie in the rocking chair for a while.
Lu Qi felt that it was almost time, so he stood up and walked towards the kitchen in the hall.
When it was almost seven o'clock, there were already more people in the living room.
The clear and melodious chatter of several girls added a bit of vitality to this early morning.
When the food was on the table, Fiona was stuck and rushed back.
Looking at her expression as usual, she seemed to have dressed up a little. She changed into nice-looking aristocratic clothes, looking cold and delicate. She also put on lipstick, and her cherry-like lips looked even brighter at the moment.
Miss Sword Princess would not be like this normally, and her "dressing up" at this time suddenly aroused the curiosity of the others.
But before they could ask any questions, their attention was attracted by today's breakfast.
There were all kinds of breakfasts on the huge dining table, which were even richer than usual.
Lux blinked curiously: "Why is today's breakfast so rich?"
"It's your birthday, you have to treat yourself."
Lu Qi replied casually, sat on the chair, and prepared to enjoy today's breakfast.
But these words made the girls sitting across from him stunned for a moment.
Lux reacted and opened her eyes slightly: "Today is your birthday?"
She glanced at Fiona and suddenly understood why Miss Sword Girl dressed up so beautifully.
When I see them, they all look like "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lu Qi coughed: "I just remembered it today."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Lux lowered her head and sighed inwardly, wondering: "It happened so suddenly, where should I go to prepare a gift for you.
However, Kashina, Quinn, and even Poppy, a yordle who doesn't celebrate birthdays often, felt that the news came too suddenly.
Even Fiona had the same idea. Although she was the first to know, she thought about it when she got home and still couldn't think of a better gift to prepare.
So I had to dress up carefully before coming over.
"I'm not just saying this for a gift."
Lu Qi smiled and raised his glass nonchalantly: "Bring me a glass for my birthday today!"
The atmosphere at the moment was tense, so Lacus and the others put down the gift thing, raised their glasses, and wished Lu Qi a happy birthday.
In fact, if the system hadn't reminded him, Lu Qi might have simply forgotten about his birthday.
But since the birthday is here, it is natural to celebrate it well.
Everyone had a very enjoyable breakfast, mainly because Lu Qi's cooking skills were completely flawless after breakfast.
Lux and the others then made excuses and left.
Lu Qi was lying leisurely on the rocking chair in the front yard, looking at the blue sky, and suddenly thought that if he counted the time, Sona should be back soon.
I received a letter from Sona a few days ago and she is on her way back.
I don’t know where I am now.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the sun became a little brighter.
A carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the yard, with the Bouvier family's logo hanging on the carriage.
From the carriage, a graceful figure slowly walked down, with a graceful step and a smile on her face. There was unconcealable joy in her face, and her beautiful face looked rosy and moving.
Lu Qi took a nap, and when he heard the noise, he subconsciously opened his eyes, and what he saw was Sona's beautiful face.
She seemed to be planning a sneak attack. When she was discovered, she boldly stepped forward and pecked Lu Qi on the face, expressing her longing for him after not seeing him for more than a month.
Since taking over the position of mage representative, Sona has embarked on a tour, mainly going to several big cities to promote the mage.
And her trip was also very successful. Not only did she gain a higher reputation with her excellent music, but she also changed many people's views on the mage.
Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise Sona would not have dared to be so bold.
Her lips were moist and felt very good.
"I miss you so much."
Following the girl's frank voice, Lu Qi also responded: "Me too."
He opened the topic first: "Are you tired from going out?"
"Not tired."
Sona shook her head, sat on a chair nearby, and said with a happy face: "Although I don't have much rest time, I enjoy the feeling of allowing people to immerse themselves in music. I also enjoy that they recognize me. I am sincerely happy to see everyone accepting the Master’s works from the bottom of their hearts.”
"But thank you for your hard work."
Lu Qi stood up, put his hand on Sona's shoulder, and squeezed it. The tight, smooth and fragrant touch contained a hint of stiffness: "My shoulders are a little stiff. Sit down and I'll give you some pressure."
The long-lost skin-to-skin contact made Sona tremble all over, and then she nodded slightly, a blush already rising on her face.
"Um"
Following Lu Qi's skillful massage movements, Sona couldn't help but moan slightly, and her heartfelt voice entered his mind.
Lu Qi's movements are not only as simple as pinching the shoulders, but sometimes he also massages several acupuncture points on the back and in front of the shoulders.
After a while, Sona's legs tightened unconsciously, the blush on her face became more attractive, her eyes flickered, and she bit her lips lightly, as if she was holding back something.
At this time, Fiona walked out and found Sona back.
However, she did not step forward to disturb the two of them at this moment, but stopped and looked at the scene in front of her thoughtfully.
She had been thinking about what kind of gift to prepare.
Now, she suddenly thought of a good gift that would definitely satisfy this guy.
After a while, Lu Qi finally stopped moving. After he let go of his hand, Sona also breathed a sigh of relief.
Her body suddenly relaxed a lot. She raised her passionate eyes to look at Lu Qi and chuckled: "My shoulders feel much more comfortable. I'm not tired at all."
"It doesn't matter whose method it is."
Lu Qi's tone was slightly contented, and he said casually: "Do you want to press the predecessor?"
Naturally, just pressing a shoulder cannot completely relieve fatigue.
Hearing his proposal, Sona was a little moved, but at this moment she also noticed Fiona, her face turned redder, and then she shook her head slightly, and her shy voice came over: "Let's talk about it in the evening."
When there was no one around, she still had the guts to do some intimate things with Lu Qi.
But even one more person would make her discouraged.
Especially, in front of Fiona.
For some reason, she always felt a little unsure in front of Fiona.
However, Fiona didn't mean to disturb him. She just took a look and turned to the backyard.
Lu Qi then lay back on the rocking chair and said, "Have you received the news from Ionia?"
Sona nodded immediately, and said with some joy: "Got it."
"It's been eight years. It's not easy to win."
Lu Qi's tone at this time was also quite emotional.
Now the news spreads quickly, and the news that the resistance forces of Ionia continent defeated Noxus in Presidenton also reached Demacia a few days ago.
This is what Sona has been thinking about.
Although he knew early on that Ionia was destined to win this battle.
But thinking about reality, this was eight years. I don’t know how much sacrifice and blood was paid during these eight years.
This is not easy to see with the naked eye.
The good news from her hometown made Sona finally feel relieved. She had been blaming herself for not being able to do anything to help Ionia.
But she can't be blamed after all.
Now Demacia is her second home, and it is also the place where she grew up. Even if she cares about Ionia on the other side, she still has to solve Demacia's problems.
"After this great victory, the morale of Noxus has been completely dampened, and it probably won't take long to drive them out of Ionia completely."
As Lu Qi said this, he began to think slightly in his heart.
The failure of the Noxian army's crusade must have caused huge damage, and the general who was defeated in this battle was a hero he knew.
Lord of Noxus - Swain.
Currently, he is the general who leads the army to conquer Ionia. His reputation has always been high, but this time he also failed in Ionia.
However, Lu Qi knew that the famous Swain did not fall so easily.
He will bring a mighty storm to Noxus.
And the wind that Lucci blew to Noxus has also begun to blow at this moment.
He felt that this seemed like a good time.
Along the way, Luo Qi remembered something. After chatting with Sona for a while, he stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace and will come back in the afternoon."
"Uh-huh."
Sona nodded, wanting to take a good rest after running all the way.
So Lu Qi asked Urna to prepare the car and soon set off towards the palace.
Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Wangdu has undergone a small change. Walking on the streets, there is an aura of changing times that hits your face.
One side is new and the other side is old, like the change of two eras.
The train tracks have begun to be laid out in the royal capital, and the train's route has been set almost a month ago.
The main purpose is a small manned train that makes movement within the city more convenient. The train runs across the capital. Although there is currently only one route, it can already go to many places, saving people a lot of time.
With the arrival of the train, the journey that usually took three hours now only takes forty minutes.
After all, this is just the beginning, and future plans will also need to be carried out step by step, such as expanding the city, adding tracks, and most importantly, building long-distance trains.
A train that can go directly to all places in Demacia will really start then.
Also a month ago, specialized personnel had already left the royal capital and began to select and outline routes to prepare for the construction of railway tracks in advance.
When they returned from their extensive tour of Demacia, it was also the beginning of the official laying of train tracks across the country.
Most of all, this is a world of extraordinary power and magic.
It is not particularly difficult to do these things.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
Lu Qi entered the palace all the way and first went to Jarvan III's office.
When he opened the door, he saw not Jarvan III, but Jarvan IV.
There are a lot of documents placed in front of his desk, all of which are reports from various places, all waiting for his personal approval.
After all, he is a newbie, so his work efficiency is far behind that of Jarvan III.
In just one month, Jarvan IV looked several years older, and the young and strong boy suddenly looked much more mature.
He just looked tired and sad.
The distraught look was exactly the same as the office worker in Lu Qi's memory.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qi secretly felt lucky that the person sitting in that seat was not him.
Just thinking about it, sitting there every day, reviewing and approving endless documents, made Lu Qi want to commit suicide.
In his heart, he hoped that Jarvan IV would work harder, so he stepped forward to say hello: "How about noon, big brother."
"Second brother?"
When Jarvan IV saw Lu Qi, he put down his work, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing special, I just want to see you and my father."
Lu Qi smiled and casually informed Jarvan IV about his birthday today.
He felt that it was his birthday after all, so he still needed to tell his relatives in the third and fourth generations.
"Happy birthday, second brother." Jarvan IV was a little surprised, but still blessed with a smile on his face: "I don't have anything to give you, so how about I give you some political experience?"
He looked like he was going to give the document on the table to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi said with a serious look: "No need, I understand brother's wishes, but you should enjoy these valuable experiences yourself."
Jarvan IV sighed. Of course what he just said was just a joke. He said: "It's almost noon, why don't we just stay here and let us have a few drinks."
He had other thoughts.
Ever since he started to get involved in government affairs, Jarvan III wouldn't even let him touch wine.
But today is the second brother's birthday, and he has to drink this wine no matter what.
"OK."
Lu Qi smiled and agreed: "Brother, please do your work first. I'll go talk to my father."
"Well, go ahead."
Jarvan IV sat back down, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he regained his sad look.
After bidding farewell to the fourth life, Lu Qi went to the third life's palace and found the third life who was cultivating himself.
Since leaving a lot of things to the fourth generation, Jarvan III looks much younger.
He also informed the third generation about his birthday.
The third generation was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Really? Today is already your birthday."
He didn't know Lu Qi's birthday before.
Now, seeing his birthday coming, I feel inexplicably emotional.
Time flies so fast.
Since knowing that today was Lu Qi's birthday, Sanshi obviously had a lot more things on his mind, with an expression on his face that he wanted to be alone and quiet.
Of course Lu Qi could tell, so he bowed and resigned without saying a word.
After Jiawen III saw him leaving, he looked at the portrait in the room from a distance and murmured to himself: "The child has grown one year older. He has protected himself very well. Even I have received a lot of help from him. Now I feel more and more that he is the one you sent to me to help me. I will do my best to support him, so you can rest assured."
After Lu Qi left the palace of Jarvan III, he went all the way to the Imperial Tomb, where the ancestors and relatives of the royal family were buried.
Mellie is now buried here.
Her tomb is very clean, and people often come to clean it. It seems that she slept peacefully underground.
Lu Qi stopped and slowly sat down in front of her grave.
He looked at the tombstone and sat like this, silent for a long time, but he was still grateful in his heart.
This woman gave him a different life.
