Chapter 355: I can’t bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore
"Your Highness, the money and carriage are ready."
Yourna walked up to the rooftop and spoke to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi, who was lying on a chair leisurely basking in the sun, heard this and sat up, stretching comfortably.
Come downstairs.
Lux is reading a novel, Sona is practicing the piano, Annie and Caitlin are playing backgammon, Navis is reading a book, and Poppy and Quinn are helping on the carriage side.
"I'm going out for a while, will you come with me?"
Lu Qi asked aloud.
Hearing this, Lux put down the novel in her hand and asked curiously: "Are you going to the same place yesterday?"
"Um."
Lu Qi nodded, "I'm going to buy it and turn it into a private winery."
When she heard it was a winery, Lux lost interest. Although she was an adult, she was no longer interested in drinking.
The reason is also because I know that my drinking capacity is not high.
In contrast, she prefers to drink soda.
But after thinking about it, she still said: "I want to go! I didn't have enough shopping yesterday, I want to have fun today!"
The others also nodded.
So, everyone prepared to set off together.
Lu Qi then looked at Jinx, who was still tied to the pillar and was napping out of boredom: "Take this guy with you."
As if sensing something, Jinx shrugged her head and woke up with a jolt. She yawned blankly and blinked: "What to bring?"
It has to be said that everyone found out that this girl is really big-hearted, and she has not shown the slightest bit of fear until now.
It's even a bit familiar.
He took her with him in the carriage, but there was no point in tying her up at this time, so he let her go.
She happened to be sitting next to Sona and replied: "You played the piano so beautifully just now, I almost fell asleep."
For a moment, Sona couldn't tell whether she was praising or insulting.
However, she nodded slightly and smiled.
"When I was little, I loved listening to songs to sleep. Usually the only two people who could put me to sleep were those two." Jinx said to herself, her eyes flashing, "You are the third one."
At this point, everyone can understand that her last sentence was a compliment.
Jinx did dream about a lot of things when she took a nap just now, so she was talking so much right now.
Listening to Sona's playing, she suddenly returned to what she considered the happiest time many years ago.
The carriage drove along, and for the next section of the road, Jinx seemed particularly quiet.
She had seen the streets and alleys of Piltover many times, and now she was wondering where she was being taken.
Soon, the carriage stopped on the same street as yesterday. This street was called "Meteor Road". Various shops on the street were open for business, and it was a bit more lively than last night.
After the carriage stopped, everyone divided into two groups.
Lux and the others continued to go shopping, while Lucci took Jinx, Urna, and Quinn towards the store yesterday.
After arriving at the store, Lemire was already waiting here.
"Nice to see you again, Your Highness."
He wears a pair of glasses and has a gentle and elegant temperament, indeed like a professor in school.
"Good morning." Lu Qi said a simple greeting, then went straight to the point, "I have brought the money over at once, and it is in the carriage outside."
"Okay, this is the land deed for this store." Lemire took out a land deed from his pocket and handed it to Lu Qi. "Next, I will go to the Piltover Court to formally hand over the ownership of this land deed. .”
Lu Qi nodded: "Let my maid go with you."
"No problem. I have inspected those machines this morning. They have at least two years of service life."
After Lemire finished speaking, he asked, "Do you need me to tell you how to use it?"
"No need." Lu Qi smiled slightly.
"OK."
Soon, Lemuel got on the carriage outside and headed to the Piltover Courthouse with Yourna.
As long as the transfer is completed, the store will officially belong to Lu Qi.
Anyway, it won't take long. Lu Qi looked around the store. Lemire must have done some cleaning.
However, his power alone is limited, and the store still looks a little dirty.
Then he felt that it was a little too empty.
So he turned to Quinn and ordered: "Go to the nearby furniture store and pick out some larger tables and chairs, similar to those in a bar."
"yes."
Quinn nodded in agreement, turned and left.
Then, Lu Qi looked at Jinx who was yawning out of boredom: "As for you, start working."
Jinx asked in confusion: "What?"
"Have you seen these glass, walls, floors, and cabinets? These are all your tasks." Lu Qi picked up the cleaning tools and put them into Jinx's hands. "Before the tables and chairs are delivered, you must clean them all. clean."
"I don't"
Jinx subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could finish her words, she saw Lucci take out the pan with a smile on his face.
She took the cleaning tools and started working without saying a word.
It was as if she had vented all her resentment towards Lu Qi on the floor. The mop was soaked in water and she dragged it hard.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, found a chair, sat on it leisurely, and pointed out the country.
"There, clean it up a bit."
"There can't be any dust."
"Where are you looking? It's such a big black spot."
"Harder!"
Being treated like a subordinate by this guy, running around here and there, the anger in Jinx's heart was building up little by little.
Time passes minute by minute.
As the floor was almost finished mopping, the more Jinx thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
Looking at the extremely clean floor that she had mopped, she finally began to doubt her life.
Jinx, what on earth are you doing!
Did you come to the city just to be treated like a donkey?
Is it just to put up with this guy's face?
I can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore! ! !
Finally, she clenched the mop in her hand, then threw it to the ground hard, and looked at the leisurely Lu Qi: "I've had enough! I'm going to fight you!"
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
One minute later.
Jinx, who had a big bag on her forehead, honestly picked up the handkerchief and started wiping the wall.
Damn broken pot!
Damn prince!
Time passes slowly.
With constant thoughts in her heart, Jinx suddenly realized that Lu Qi's attention seemed not to be here anymore. The guy was lying flat on the bar, looking a little sleepy.
She couldn't help but think, wouldn't this be a good opportunity?
There were only two of them around now. She glanced at the open door quietly, and Jinx felt that the road to freedom was in front of her.
So, while she wiped the wall hard, she moved towards the door while Lu Qi wasn't paying attention.
As the distance got closer and closer, she could no longer hold back the impulse in her heart.
One last look at Lu Qi, who was still lying in that position. There was a certain distance between the two, and Jinx was convinced.
Without hesitation, she ran straight out the door.
In an instant, she stepped out of the door, the sun shining on her face, filled with the breath of freedom.
Looking back, Lu Qi hadn't caught up yet.
Jinx was excited, but she didn't care. She galloped towards a crowded place at full speed.
She passed through one person after another, speeding down the street, running further and further away without looking back.
In fact, she didn't dare to rest during the journey, even if she didn't see Lu Qi chasing after her at all. Still running at full speed, he ran continuously for at least ten minutes before stopping.
Even she couldn't help but panting at this moment, her tired chest kept rising and falling.
Then he stopped in front of a statue.
"After running so far, that guy can't catch up."
Jinx leaned against the statue, panting, and cautiously glanced left and right again to make sure she didn't see Lucci.
He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and sneered triumphantly: "Young prince, do you really think you can keep an eye on me? If I want to run away, I can just run away."
However, after running for so long, she also felt a little dry.
"Drink some, I see you are very tired." At this moment, a kind person from above handed over a bottle of water.
"Thanks." Jinx took it and thanked her politely.
The next second, her whole body stiffened.
Why does the voice of the person who just spoke sound familiar?
Also, why was this bottle of water handed to me from above?
She couldn't help but swallow, and raised her head carefully little by little. Then he saw Lu Qi's smiling face and was stunned for a moment.
This guy appeared on the statue at some point, but she didn't notice it at all!
Lu Qi smiled and asked, "Are you still running?"
Jinx shook her head: "I won't run away."
"Then let's go."
Lu Qi landed on the ground and walked towards the store.
Jinx followed him, took two steps, and then suddenly turned around and ran wildly.
This time she used her talent for rock climbing and wall climbing to climb from the ground to the top of a building, and then ran from building to building. She was very energetic.
Then she turned back and glanced in Lu Qi's direction. Her eyes widened for a moment, and she was extremely shocked, as if she had seen something shocking.
I saw Lu Qi tap his toes, and he flew up from the spot as light as a swallow. He jumped several meters high in one leap, like a weightless feather.
Then, Jinx saw with her own eyes that he stepped on the air with one foot, suddenly jumped up several meters high, and then landed on the roof of the building. As if flying, his body shape was flowing, elegant and unrestrained, turning He caught up instantly.
Jinx slowly stopped, still a little dazed.
Was what she saw just now an illusion?
Why is this guy flying?
"How did you do what you just did?"
She looked at Lu Qi approaching and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Qi smiled lightly and said, "Want to learn?"
Jinx immediately nodded like she was pounding garlic, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I want to learn!"
What she responded to was a crisp sound of "dang", and she was hit on the forehead by a frying pan again.
Lu Qi chuckled: "Why should I teach you? Stop daydreaming and come back with me honestly."
"oh"
Jinx really followed honestly this time.
After seeing Lu Qi's movement just now, she fully realized that she couldn't escape from this guy.
But at this time, she had other thoughts.
I can't help but imagine how happy I would be if I learned the tricks just now.
She stared at Lu Qi's back, thinking deeply.
You have to get those few tricks from this guy!
So, after returning to the store again, Jinx became much more docile.
The work was also very hard, the floor was mopped until it was shiny, and then the walls and cabinets were cleaned.
It's a bit difficult for a little girl to clean such a big store.
At this time, a person suddenly came outside the store. He had a slender figure, a delicate and beautiful face, short brown hair, and was wearing a light-colored skirt and cloth. He looked very clean.
"Hello?"
She stood at the door, holding a basket in her hand, and said hello in a weak voice.
Jinx, who was cleaning the wall, had no time to talk to her, even though she didn't want to talk to her in the first place.
"Hello." Lu Qi sat up, looked at the door, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I came to say hello."
The girl stood at the door and explained, "I'm from the store next door, my name is Orianna Levik. This store has been empty for a long time, and today I suddenly heard a noise, so I thought I'd come and say hello."
Hearing the name, Lu Qi's eyes flashed slightly.
Just hearing the name may not give you much impression.
However, this girl may get another nickname in the future.
Clockwork Demon.
However, this is something in the future. At this stage, it seems that she is just a very gentle girl.
"I just bought this store today. If nothing else happens, we will be neighbors in the future."
Lu Qi smiled at this time.
Orianna looked at him. After seeing his face clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and then she bent down at a 90-degree angle in panic: "Hello, Your Highness, I hope I haven't disturbed you."
"Of course not. Please come in, Orianna."
Lu Qi didn't mind and allowed her to enter.
Orianna hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the store and said, "These are some cookies I baked myself. If you don't mind, please accept them."
She still hasn't gotten over the fact that her new neighbor next door will be the prince of Demacia.
She also went to see Lu Qi on the day he came, so she could naturally recognize him.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Lu Qi took the basket from her hand and saw that there were many delicate and lovely cookies wrapped in a layer of pink cloth. He picked up one of them and threw it into his mouth.
The texture is crisp, sweet, with a bit of chocolate flavor, and you can taste the unique flavor of the oven.
Lu Qi smiled and said: "It's delicious."
Yesterday, he didn't pay attention to the door next door. It seemed to have closed the door early.
Orianna was a little afraid to look directly at Lu Qi. She still looked very nervous and kept her head lowered: "As long as you are satisfied."
Jinx came over at this moment, reached out unceremoniously and took out a biscuit, threw it into her mouth, and started chewing it.
There is no look like a girl at all.
She seemed to think it tasted good, so she wanted to reach out for another piece, but as soon as she reached halfway, Lu Qi slapped her back, and her eyes suddenly turned resentful.
Lu Qi looked at her: "After the work is done, why don't you eat?"
"Cheapskate."
Jinx mumbled and turned around to continue cleaning the wall.
Orianna saw this and said: "As for cookies, I still have a lot of them there. I can bring some more."
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about her."
Lu Qi waved his hand, glanced at the empty shop and said, "This is the only chair, please take a seat first."
Orianna waved her hand quickly: "No, I'm just here to say hello. If it's cleaning, I can come and help."
It seemed that she couldn't bear to see Jinx, a skinny girl doing such strenuous work.
Lu Qi said: "It's not a general cleaning, it's just to punish her."
"ah?"
Orianna was stunned and a little confused.
"To put it simply, she did something very wrong and is now atoneing for her sins."
Lu Qi only gave a general explanation without going into details.
Seeing this, Orianna did not ask any further questions. She nodded sensibly and politely said: "Okay, Your Highness, I will go back first. I am in the prosthetic workshop next door. If you are interested in prosthetics, I can also Welcome.”
