The owner of Qingqiu Mansion seems to have 10,000 answers for the young public-financed student.
Zheng Qing had a stiff smile on his face and followed her step by step, as if he was guiding the guests. But at the same time, he was keenly aware of a line of sight drifting over from another corner of the room.
It was like wisps of cold wind outside, blowing on the back of his neck, flowing down his collar and into his back, chilling his back that had just been wet with cold sweat.
Su Shijun seemed to have noticed this 'coolness' too.
"Huh? Your monitor is coming this way."
Her attention was immediately attracted by another witch who came slowly. While nodding coldly to the wandering wizard, she enthusiastically described in Zheng Qing's ear: "...she pretended to go to get wine.
But I can calculate that her destination is right here with us... Well, there are still three people away... I have to say that her dress today is very beautiful, it seems to be a high-definition dress from last month that is hanging on the floor... Two
Personally... the wine she chose also tastes good, with the smell of citrus, lemon, white peach, and orchid... There is still one person left..."
The voice in his ears was like a devil's whisper, rustling, making Zheng Qing feel like hundreds of little bugs were crawling across his back, and every move he made was like a thorn in his back - originally he was worried because he had 'ruined the place' not long ago.
Su Shijun will have a conflict with the wandering wizard. Now it seems that the communication between the great wizards always has a higher 'error tolerance', and he should be more worried about himself.
Zheng Qing began to seriously consider the possibility of running away.
Just like the people in the desert have evolved long eyelashes to withstand the wind and sand, the narrow nasal cavities of people in high latitudes can warm up the cold air, the skin of people who often work outdoors will become rough and thick under the wind and sun, etc.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the most primitive instinct of living things, and it is also a talent for the continuous evolution of living things.
The harsh environment will greatly promote this evolutionary process.
Just like Zheng Qing.
Before entering college, he would blush whenever he talked to others. However, after only a year and a half, he was able to deal with several witches with ease - inexplicably, he thought of "The Red and the Red" that he had read in middle school.
"Black", Julien Sorel, a carpenter by trade, easily captured the hearts and minds of the two ladies. Wait, no, this example is inappropriate. Zheng Qing felt that he was not as ambitious as Julien.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he thought of "Eugenie Grandet" again. Eugenie's cousin named Charlie went from frivolous and naive to vicious and greedy. In just a few years, his living heart changed.
Shrunk, dried up.
No, no, my heart is still alive.
The young public servant raised his hand subconsciously, touched his chest, and tried hard to control the various thoughts in his mind. Unfortunately, the chance to slip away was fleeting, and the active and chaotic thoughts in his mind greatly interfered with the wizard's choice.
"I'm glad you could come to D&K for its first anniversary,"
Jiang Yu's cheerful voice burst into the ears of the wizard. She was greeting the owner of Qingqiu Mansion: "The development of D&K cannot be separated from the help of many friends such as Qingqiu Mansion, Linzhong Lake..."
"The help from Qingqiu Mansion is not for friends,"
Su Shijun calmly interrupted Jiang Yu's greetings: "After all, in the near future, this store may be inherited by Bose Dong... It's not a dowry, but it's good as daily pocket money."
"I don't recommend that you mention Poseidon in the store."
The squad leader of the Exoneration Hunting Team reminded him lightly: "In addition to Linda Barnes, Granny Crystal was also an excellent reporter and worked for the Beta Town Post for a long time... Well, this
Try it, you just saw it in the elf tray, it feels very beautiful."
The last sentence she said was to Zheng Qing.
As she spoke, she handed the small silver tray in her hand to the wizard's nose. There were two light red fruits on the tray, about the size of a hazelnut, with translucent skin and flesh, and an attractive color.
Zheng Qing felt a little uneasy and cleared his throat. His eyes fell firmly on the fruit and he whispered his thanks in a low voice:
"Thank you, thank you..."
Then he cautiously stretched out two fingers, carefully picked up a fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite.
For a moment, the wizard felt like he had bitten into a ball of concentrated sulfuric acid.
It's hard to describe this sour and spicy feeling in words. It's like millet with vinegar sauce, but it's not as delicious as that kind of food. The thin pulp explodes in the mouth. Zheng Qing feels every taste on his tongue.
Every taste bud is frantically asking him for help.
But for the sake of a man's dignity, he had to act as if nothing had happened and he didn't care.
"How does it taste?" the squad leader asked with a smile.
The taste is quite amazing.
This was what Zheng Qing was about to say, but when he tried to move his tongue, he sadly realized that his tongue seemed to have no feeling.
Therefore, he could only give a thumbs up with tears in his eyes.
"Why does he have that expression?" Jiang Yu seemed to have noticed the strangeness of the wizard.
Su Shijun looked carefully at the other fruit left on the plate.
"I guess he must have eaten a raw Tongtang plum." As a great wizard, the owner of Qingqiu Mansion also had extensive knowledge and quickly made a judgment: "Mature Tongtang plums are naturally rare.
Delicious, but like these two...”
She picked up another fruit with her green-white fingers and showed the two wizards the tiny green spots on the belly of the fruit.
"This kind of unripe Tongtang plum has a very strong irritating effect." As she said this, she threw the fruit back into the silver plate and looked at the wizard with pity: "...I remember that Su Ya accidentally ate it once.
After one pill, her tongue was swollen for a week. Since she was not poisoned, the antidote had no effect... During that half-month, she became extremely quiet."
"Well, I'm really sorry." Jiang Yu glanced at the wizard apologetically: "Since it's not convenient for you to speak now..."
"Then we won't disturb you." Su Shijun waved to him with a smile.
Zheng Qing felt her fox ears trembling happily in her bun.
Watching the two witches leaving hand in hand.
The young public-funded student finally found an opportunity and took a big sip of sweet orange juice, trying to wash away the pungent taste that almost killed people on his tongue.
"If I were you, I would stay in the school hospital all day today."
Xiao Xiao's whisper-like voice sounded behind him. Zheng Qing turned around and saw the short wizard walking towards Andrew Taylor with a kind face, as if he was not the one who just spoke.
Andrew was holding a glass of blue Siren Rum and talking non-stop to Nicholas. He had a carefree look on his face, and his short, spiky hair had clear roots, exuding a sharp and fierce feeling.
Perhaps because of his "victory escape" during the winter hunting, his eyes also showed a completely different confidence than before. Even the ten magic rings he wore on both hands no longer had the aura of the nouveau riche earlier.
Exuding a calm and steady spirit that is recognized.
