Abedo is indifferent to most things, but sugar is definitely an exception.
Seeing Albedo's eyes on the bouquet in his hand, Sugar quickly hid the bouquet of pinwheel chrysanthemums behind his back.
"Well..."
The screeching sound of Albedo's blue and white boots scraping against the floor echoed outside the alchemy shop. Ever since he saw Sugar eating with a stranger who seemed to be particularly fond of her, he had been in a very unhappy mood.
"Mr. Tommy is really nice! He knew it was a commission to go to Longji Snow Mountain but he still accepted it. Moreover, even though it was so... difficult for him to complete the commission, he still thought that my reward was too much.
And...invite me to dinner..."
Seeing the chalky boy's actions, Sugar quickly defended Tommy.
"So he asked you to have lunch?"
Abedo's voice was a little more calm than usual, but looking at Sutang's expression, she didn't seem to notice.
"Ah, yes... Mr. Tommy not only helped me collect materials, but also... treated me to a meal."
Seeing the teacher's increasingly serious expression, Sugar felt a little nervous inexplicably.
Abedo didn't know much about socializing and giving gifts, but he at least knew that a bouquet of flowers was not a gift that should be given in the relationship between an adventurer and a client. The unknown displeasure made him a little annoyed, and the discomfort growing in his chest made him feel uncomfortable.
The young man took a deep breath.
"Then he is indeed a kind man."
Abedo said something against his will and his tongue felt bitter.
"Yes! He also said that he would talk to me about alchemy after lunch. Maybe Teacher Abedo can hire another assistant... so he won't be so tired."
Sugar's eyes flashed with innocence, which was exactly the opposite of the chaos in Albedo's heart.
Enough.
"In addition to this commission, have you issued other commissions to the Adventurers Association, Sugar?"
"Huh? No."
Sugar came back with a confused expression on her face.
"Actually, I have a hypothesis."
Abedo kept a calm expression, but carefully looked at the expression on Sugar's face, trying to judge the subtle details of Sugar's psychological activities at the moment.
"I think this adventurer asked you out because of his personal interests and has nothing to do with the commission."
"Ah? What...what?"
Her sugar-honey-colored eyes opened a little wider, and the frame on Qiong's nose seemed to slip off easily, and then fell down a little.
"Teacher Abedo...what does it mean?"
"Well, this is just my assumption..." Abedo cleared his throat: "He completed your commission, but still wants to meet you... Maybe it's because of his love for you, Sugar."
The atmosphere in the alchemy shop suddenly became weird. Abedo regretted saying something that was not his style. I wonder if Granu would think he was a bit nosy, or... would see that he was jealous.
A blush gradually appeared on Sutang's cheeks.
"Ah? But, but why would he..."
Abedo suddenly became serious: "Su Tang, I don't allow you to fall in love, but you have to know that falling in love will have a great impact on the experiment, and not everyone can be with my students. Of course...
…”
If it were me, it wouldn’t be impossible.
Abedo didn't say the last words. Sugar hid his face behind the alchemy table, raised his hands, and pulled the edge of the alchemy table with his fingers. His furry ears twitched and the tips of his ears turned red.<
/p>
"I...Then I'd better refuse his invitation..."
The voice of the reply was so low that Albedo could hardly hear it.
However, the chalk boy was relieved and grabbed the materials piled next to the alchemy table. He glanced at his own sugar, which was still peeking at him. The cyan girl's eyes gradually began to dodge, and the gem-like light was cut into pieces by the shadow cast by her eyelashes.
.
"I, I mean! I am very grateful to Mr. Tommy for his kindness to me, and I don't want to disappoint him, but I need to focus on the experiment now... Unless Mr. Tommy has something more important, but I..." Looking at Abedo's gentle eyes, Sugar began to mumble nervously to explain.
"Sugar." Abedo said gently.
"I know...it doesn't matter."
Sugar stopped mumbling, but her face was still hidden behind the alchemy table, with only her glasses and ears exposed.
"No...I'm sorry, Teacher Abedo..."
Abedo's lips curved into a satisfied smile, and with his free hand, he took off Sutang's glasses in a playful manner.
"Hey, Teacher Abedo...I, I can't see clearly!"
Sugar, who had lost his clear vision, suddenly stood up in fear. His vision was blurry. Even Albedo, who had been watching quietly, turned into a chaos of colors. He could only vaguely distinguish a blue and white figure.
"Follow me."
Casting a casual glance at Amber, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them across from the alchemy shop, Albedo took Granu's hand and walked into the alchemy shop.
"Ah... Damn it, have you been discovered? You are indeed the chief alchemist of Mondstadt."
Amber blushed. She wanted to hear what else Shatang and Abedo could talk about, but she didn't expect that the cunning Abedo had discovered it.
After entering the alchemy shop, Abedo closed the door and got rid of the eavesdropping red girl. Abedo directly threw the experimental materials in his hands on the ground, pinned Granu's glasses in his coat pocket, and took the girl with animal ears.
Two little hands.
"Sugar."
Abedo directly hugged Sugar into his arms.
My heart is pounding.
He has never dared to face up to his feelings for Sugar. Maybe after meeting Tommy, who has a crush on Sugar, Abedo can really look straight into his heart.
Feeling a familiar figure bumping into his arms, feeling the missed smell of herbs and reagents, Sugar could even smell the aroma of those herbs on Albedo's body just by using his nose.
It's just that the blurred vision and lack of security made Sugar shrink her neck, leaning on the boy's arms with unfocused eyes, and her hands had already grabbed Albedo's clothes with force.
"Teacher...I can't see you clearly..."
The sound was completely inaudible, and with Sutang's ears gradually erecting, Abedo sniffed the fragrance of the girl. Sutang's head was shyly buried in his chest, and the tips of his erect ears were just enough to touch Abedo's chin.<
/p>
"Aww."
Abedo lowered his head and bit down on Sugar's left ear.
As the gentle breath blew into his ears, Sugar's hands began to tremble, and he hugged Albedo tighter.
A soft, wet feeling slides along the auricle and deep into the ear.
The sticky sound penetrated the eardrum, like an electric current, and rushed into Sugar's waist, making her lose all her strength.
Fortunately, Abedo caught her in time.
"Teacher Abedo...my ears..."
It seemed like centuries had passed before the chalky boy raised his head and blew a breath into Sugar's wet ears.
"Come eat with me later."
"This...just think of it as food money in the future."
