Chapter 517: Hot Summer

Chapter 517: Hot Summer

Time flies, and several days pass.

This day.

Crownguard's residence.

"Laxana, what are you thinking about?"

Ogesha looked at Lux who was sitting on the sofa angrily, hating her sitting here and being an eyesore.

I don't know what's wrong with this guy these days. He doesn't go out very often, and he often just sits there in a daze.

Regarding this phenomenon, Ogesha could only say that something was wrong, nine out of ten.

After all, she is a mother, how can she not understand her daughter.

Apparently something happened to her.

After thinking about it, Ogesha sat on the sofa nearby and said again: "If you have anything on your mind recently, you might as well tell me. As someone who has been there, I can also give you some suggestions."

Hearing this, Lux looked at her mother, and suddenly asked with bright eyes: "Tell me the story of you and your father! How did you meet in the first place, and how did you get married?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Ogesha felt embarrassed to talk about what happened to her back then, but looking at Lux's shining eyes, she still recalled it and couldn't help but smile: "Back then, your father and I were actually assigned to get married, because The relationship between families is established very early, so there are not many interesting stories. ”

Lux blinked: "Then you and your father don't actually love each other?"

Ogesha looked at her angrily: "That's not true, I still love him very much, and I believe he loves me too."

In the previous aristocratic environment of Demacia, most designated marriages were for political purposes.

Therefore, two people who enter into a marriage are also political tools, and it is difficult for them to have the so-called 'love'.

However, since ancient times, the Crown Guard family has been the top of the world, and there is no need to use this method to conclude a so-called political marriage. It is the same for Peter, and the same is true for her.

They all have a chance of relative choice.

Lacus nodded and continued to ask: "Then how did you fall in love with your father?"

This topic inexplicably made Ogesha a little ashamed, but after she saw the look in her daughter's eyes, she still recalled: "How should I say, because of a small thing. Because we know that the other party is the target of marriage, your father and I They had been in contact for a long time and got to know each other, but at that time they probably didn't like or love each other. At most, they didn't dislike each other.

At least that's the case for me. Your father must have fallen in love with me early on. "

When Ogesha said this, she raised her chin proudly, just like Lux when she was proud.

Lux was listening carefully now, very interested in her parents' love story back then.

"Your father, as you know, is honest and dull, just like your brother, but a little less shrewd than your brother. So he can't hide things on his face. He often blushes when he looks at me. "

"To be honest, I didn't like his character at first. He was neither chatty nor funny."

Ogesha said too much, so she picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and calmed down.

Lux then asked: "What happened next? What happened?"

"It's just a small thing." Ogesha recalled and smiled unconsciously. "There was a very important banquet at that time. As a representative of the family, I had to go on stage to speak. But before going on stage, my foot accidentally sprained. It hurt a lot, but because I had to go on stage for an important task, I forced a smile and thought it would be over after I endured it.”

"So I went on stage. My acting skills were quite good, and no one noticed anything strange about me. But at that moment, your father appeared. He suddenly came on stage without saying a word, which surprised people. He couldn’t help but then he picked me up and left the hall directly.”

"No one knows how much pressure he was under at the time, but such a dull and honest man could do such an amazing thing."

"After taking me away, he immediately went to find ointment and took good care of me. Among so many people, he was the only one who noticed my foot injury. At that moment, I discovered his carefulness and fell in love with him. ”

After Ogesha finished speaking, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"I didn't expect my father to have done such amazing things."

Lux said with a surprised look on her face. In her impression, her father Peter was the kind of person who was unsmiling, not good at words, and honest.

However, in Demacia, which was very disciplined at the time, he dared to do such a thing for his mother.

"So this is love?"

Lux murmured to herself, and then looked at Ogesha: "Then how did mother confirm her love for father at that time? Or what kind of feeling was it?"

"Feelings?" Ogesha couldn't help but think about it seriously and didn't know how to explain it. "Probably, for a sudden moment, you decided that it was him, and you couldn't live without him for the rest of your life. As long as you are with him, all you can think of in the future is happy things. Sometimes when you think of him, you feel like you are being It’s like it’s been covered with honey, this is probably love.”

Lux listened in some trance, and Lu Qi's face flashed through her mind unconsciously.

His face, which usually looks like a mean one, is correct in everything his mother says.

In other words, she must have been like this a long time ago.

But, at that time, she didn't know what it was.

I just want to enjoy every day with him. I can lie on the sun lounger in a daze, sit in the backyard and soak in the hot spring, have snowball fights, eat hot pot, and do many things. All of them are happy.

Lux found that she was becoming more and more greedy, but being so greedy, what she wanted at this moment was more and more.

Looking at her lost daughter, Ogesha suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, the ancestor worship day is coming soon. You and Lu Qi went there together last time, right?"

"Sacrifice to the ancestors. That's right, worship the ancestors!" Lux repeated, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up from the sofa with a swish, which even startled Ogesha.

"I want to see my great-grandfather! I miss him so much!"

She said over and over again, while taking action, she ran outside happily.

Ogesha watched her leave and smiled helplessly: "This girl."

“It’s the Ancestor Worship Day again, so without further ado, let’s set off!”

Lux stood in front of Lu Qi, not even giving him a chance to speak, as if he had already agreed.

"There's nothing wrong with worshiping ancestors. But it's too sudden to just leave right now, right?"

Lu Qi didn't see the little golden retriever very often in the past two days. He thought she had gone somewhere to play. He was drinking tea and said helplessly.

Even if you are going to worship your ancestors, you still have to make some preparations.

"Is it sudden? Do you have anything to do?"

"That's not true."

"That's it, let's go!"

Lux energetically picked up Lu Qi and said, "This time we are going to see my great-grandfather, just the two of us."

"Fine."

Lu Qi found that something was very wrong with the little golden retriever today, something very wrong, as if this guy was planning some kind of plan.

That little thought was completely exposed by his simple and straightforward face.

It is actually much more convenient to worship ancestors now because of the Hex Flying Gate.

Taking the Flying Gate, you can reach Mithril City in just a moment, and then you can reach Forsbarrow Town in just a few days' journey.

After arriving in Mithril City, Lux and Lu Qi stopped by to see her father, Peter. Galen happened to be in Mithril City at this time.

After chatting, without even planning to stay one more day, Lux took Lu Qi and set off.

Along the way, she chirped like a lark, telling anecdotes about what happened when Lu Qi was no longer around.

Lu Qi would naturally respond with a smile and share stories with her along the way.

Sometimes they would suddenly think that it seemed like a long time ago when they were alone like this.

The last time we finally had such an opportunity, we suddenly encountered the awakened Fiddlesticks, which was actually not satisfactory.

Fortunately, this time, there was no unexpected incident that interrupted their happy trip.

Unknowingly, they had arrived at the town of Forsbarrow again.

Once we reached the border, the temperature wasn't that hot. After all, we were close to the Freljord.

The last time I came here, it was raining here, and this land looked like a barren desert.

However, I haven't seen it for a year, but the changes have been unexpectedly big. The wasteland in my impression has been planted with green plants, making it a bit more lush.

Even the town itself has not changed that much.

The opening of the Hex Flying Gate can be said to have greatly improved the development of the border towns, because they can more conveniently integrate with the economy.

The walls of Forsbarrow have been built and look much taller and stronger. This also makes the guards here more confident in fighting against the barbarians from the cold winter land.

However, with Demacia's current prestige, even in the cold winter land, few tribes with no eyes would dare to provoke it.

The mayor of the town, Judge Jane Giselle, quickly came out to greet him after receiving the news.

Not long after, the streets in the town were crowded with people inside and outside. It looked like there were quite a few people, at least tens of thousands.

The last time Lu Qi and others arrived, they updated the town's calendar for fighting against demons.

Following the hero Forsbyro, they also became the heroes who protected the town.

Coupled with the prestige of the two of them, it can be said that they are welcomed by the entire town at this moment.

Lux waved to the townspeople warmly and generously, her bright smile shining like the sun.

In order not to hinder Lu Qi and the two, Giselle quickly dispersed the crowd and found them the best accommodation in the town.

"This year can be said to be the harvest season, maybe because we got rid of that demon. In short, in order to thank you two, we want to hold a celebration banquet tonight. I just hope that you two will not refuse."

Giselle also extended an invitation to the two of them at this time.

When Lux heard this, she immediately nodded her head: "Okay, we will definitely participate!"

She liked lively celebrations the most, so she and Lu Qi walked up the mountain with great expectations.

Because of the last battle with Nocturne, Forsbarrow's tomb was actually damaged, so the villagers moved his tomb to a place with better feng shui.

This time there was no need to take the same road as Dian Po, and we soon arrived at Fosbyro's tomb.

Lux talked a lot with her great-grandfather, and after worshiping seriously, it was Lucci's turn.

Lu Qi didn't talk as much as she did, but he seriously burned the incense stick and bowed three times.

In fact, worshiping ancestors is not troublesome. It is equivalent to meeting the ancestors once. Demacia does not even have the tradition of burning things for ancestors, so it is even simpler.

When we returned to the town, it was already evening, and everyone in the town was involved in the preparations for the celebration banquet.

Witness, Lux and Lucci also joined in and helped in some places where needed.

When it got dark, the celebration banquet was finally ready.

In the largest square in the town, a large fire stake was erected, and as a fire was thrown, it burned vigorously with a "crash".

The sky seemed to be illuminated, and the celebration banquet began.

The rich food was served on the open-air table, and the food, fruits, wine, and drinks all showed the beauty of the harvest.

The band came on stage, or those who were good at using musical instruments, formed an orchestra on their own.

Everyone used various instruments and beat the cheerful beat.

The townspeople danced to the cheerful beat, and the scene of singing and dancing was so lively, with warmth and laughter everywhere.

Lucci was pulled by the enthusiastic townspeople to join in, drinking a refreshing beer from time to time, and then dancing freely, having a lot of fun.

During the process, he wanted to find Lux, but he didn't know where she went.

But he didn't worry, because Lux was now, and ordinary people really couldn't deal with her.

The celebration banquet was going on like this.

When it was almost time, Lucci was ready to take a break. The beer he drank today was almost as much as the whole year, so it can be said that he was completely satisfied.

He quietly left the team, then found a bench with few people and sat down. Looking at the joy in the distance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I guess I'll get high if I drink more."

He touched his stomach and leaned lazily on the back of the chair: "By the way, where did Lux ​​go?"

This girl was hiding something at a glance, and she ran away at the beginning of the celebration banquet.

But Lucci, who was drunk at this time, was too lazy to think, and would rather sit in a daze.

"Ahem!"

At some point, a deliberate throat clearing sound suddenly sounded.

Lucci lowered his head and looked forward, and saw Miss Crown Guard standing by the fountain not far away.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Coincidentally, at this time, the people in the town lit up fireworks, and fireworks soared into the sky, exploding in the sky, blooming in all colors.

The world was suddenly lit up, and the brilliance was reflected on the girl's delicate and bright face, as if a touch of extremely gorgeous colors suddenly bloomed in the dark world, like a stunning painting, this scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Next, I want to announce something!"

Lux's face was red, and her eyes looked at Luchi very seriously, while pointing at him with a slender finger.

"For the rest of my life, I want you to stay in my world, and never leave!"

She fell crisply and loudly, with a bit of coquettishness and domineering.

But there was no response for a while.

She puffed up her face in dissatisfaction and glared at Lucci: "Why don't you react at all?"

Lucci looked at her: "How much did you drink?"

"I didn't drink!"

Lacus said angrily.

Lucci laughed and said: "Your face is as red as a hot boiler."

"I just drank a little!" Lacus snorted, suddenly jumped down the stairs, and walked towards Lucci step by step: "Did you hear what I just said!"

"Of course I heard it." Lucci said with a smile. "But what does it mean to stay with you in your world? I can't be tied to you."

"When I want to see you, I must see you!" Lacus stopped one meter in front of Lucci and stared at him from top to bottom: "I want me to be in all your stories, and you must be in all my stories!"

"I want to know all your happiness and joy, and tell you all my happiness and joy."

"I want to know everything about you!"

She said very seriously.

Lucci couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we always like this?"

"It's different!" Lux shook her head immediately, the redness of the wine covered her original blush, her eyes flickered, and she looked like a shy flower about to bloom, delicate and pure.

"I"

Lucci looked at her, stood up, leaned down, and kissed the girl when she was about to open her mouth.

Lux's eyes widened immediately, and her body instinctively stiffened in place, but soon, she closed her eyes again and sank into it.

Lucci kissed very gently.

Lux has always been a dazzling dawn in his life, and she also occupies an extremely important position.

Long ago, he had made up his mind to protect everything about her.

Protect the girl's pure and moving smile.

In order to protect everything that exists because of her, he is willing to face danger again and again and shoulder responsibilities that should not be his.

Perhaps they have been in tune with each other for a long time, and it is only natural to reach this point now.

The growing girl finally realized the love hidden in her heart and took that step boldly.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

The fireworks rose to the sky again, blooming brilliantly in the dark sky. Under the brilliant colors, Lu Qi embraced the girl in his arms, as if kissing the whole summer.

Warm and beautiful.
