Louis pretended not to hear the cheerful laughter behind him, shook his helmet and walked out of the office.
At the door, Louis saw the female officer named Qian standing at the door.
She nodded towards Louis and said "thank you".
"She hasn't been this happy in a long time."
"Yeah?"
He turned around and walked towards the door.
At the door, Louis saw the little swan shivering in the cold wind.
Louis was a little strange: "Olivia, what are you doing here?"
It was already December, and the howling cold wind made her face turn red.
Olivia sniffed, snorted and said:
"It's broad daylight, seeing you two so busy inside, how dare you go in."
Louis looked around strangely:
"Where's Sister Lumi? Why haven't I seen her?"
Olivia's expression froze slightly, and she burst into tears the next moment:
"It's not because of you that Sister Lumi ignored me today."
Louis thought something was wrong: "That shouldn't be the case. No matter how angry she is, she will never leave you behind."
Olivia said calmly: "Actually, he went to reconnect with Haishen Bansha."
Louis always felt that today's little swan was strange.
"Then what are you going to do next? Wait until Beatrice gets off work?"
Little Swan put her hands on her hips and said, "No, I want to go to the food court to eat."
"Oh." Louis nodded, "Then go!"
The little swan was delighted when he saw this: "I want to eat fruit candies!"
"purchase!"
"Elbow, shall we go now?"
"ah?"
Louis took off his helmet, widened his eyes and said, "I want to go back to the Prince's Palace, you go alone!"
Little Swan's voice suddenly became softer and said:
"The money is all on Sister Lumi."
Louis added: "It shouldn't be. When Alice went to the guild to redeem materials, didn't I see you pick up a silver coin and put it in your pocket?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Swan cried and said, "I just ate up all the money I spent on shopping nearby!"
Louis scratched his head and said:
"Okay, let me go with you."
Although I feel that Olivia's situation today is very strange, she is already yelling like this, and it would be bad not to take her with me.
But Louis still said:
"I just want to go to the food court. I have an order there and I want to pick up the goods."
Olivia nodded with satisfaction:
"Then shall we go now?"
"No, you wait for me to change my clothes first."
"OK."
Louis walked into the office.
After a while, when he came out again, he had changed into a tuxedo.
The clothes that fit his figure made him look like a gentleman who had stepped out of an oil painting, but the half clown mask on his face made him a little more funny.
Olivia glanced at him and said:
"I've never seen this outfit before. It looks pretty, uh..."
"Isn't he handsome?"
"No, I just feel a little funny."
"You are much sharper than usual today."
Louis snorted.
Don't know how to appreciate beauty.
He threw a cloak to Olivia and struck the ground with his crutch:
"Put it on, our elbow!"
…
[Location: Food Street]
Louis walked out of a business store, looked at Olivia with a smile and said:
"I'm going to make a lot of money soon!"
Olivia said: "Louis, what did you take?"
Louis smiled and said, "Meyer Morgan Rockefeller."
"Um?"
"This is my name under this identity. From now on, I am the president of Meyer Chamber of Commerce."
Louis took off his hat and said:
"Madam, the products of Meyer Chamber of Commerce may not be expensive, but they are definitely worth the money. Are you interested in learning more?"
He banged the gift bag he was holding and said:
"For example, something like this was specially customized by Mr. Louis, Prince of the Empire."
Little Swan was speechless: "Isn't it all you?"
"Not the same. Also, ma'am, please call me Mr. Meyer."
Louis put the hat on Olivia's hand and tilted it slightly:
"Your candy, ma'am."
Olivia asked curiously: "What is this? Is it a cover-up?"
Louis praised highly: "You have gone from being very smart to being smart today. It's really amazing."
Little Swan smiled and said: "Why are you getting more and more stupid?"
Louis bowed and said, "In my hometown, being smart is not a compliment to others."
Little Swan complained: "There are a lot of things going on in your hometown."
"Yes." Louis' voice was very soft, "It's a pity that I can never go back."
Only then did Olivia remember that Louis' village had been burned down.
She comforted: "It's okay, aren't you still with Sister Wang and us now?"
Louis snorted and said, "Don't comfort me, I'm not that sentimental."
"So, miss, what else do you want to eat today, can I please?"
"Why did it turn into a question?"
"Maybe it's because you're worried about money?" Louis said after a moment of hesitation.
"You don't have to pretend anymore, do you?"
"Yes, it's a showdown, I'm greedy!"
Louis put his hands on his hips, looking triumphant, which made the clown mask on his face even more comical.
"Okay, stop being slippery, I want to eat that!"
Little Swan pointed to a stall in the corner.
In that busy market street, the roadside stalls under the magic lights became a gathering place for countless people.
There were a lot of people at that stall, and they seemed to be making some kind of garlic grilled shrimp and vegetable skewers.
"Okay, let's go together."
This is a carpet delicacy in the imperial capital. When Louis got closer, he saw the stall master skillfully selecting the fresh shrimps one by one.
The plump fresh shrimps are finely chopped and seasoned, stir-fried with minced garlic for more than ten seconds, and then skewered with some vegetables similar to onions and mushrooms, and placed in an oven for baking.
"Boss, do you have any ready-made ones? Give me 10..." Louis paused, looked at Olivia and said, "How many skewers can you eat?"
"Five skewers are enough for me."
"Okay, boss, here are five skewers."
little Swan:……
The boss glanced at Olivia.
She took a deep breath and said, "Boss, take 10 skewers."
"okay!"
Going to the small bench at the stall, Louis muttered:
"Actually, it's enough for you to eat alone."
"I want you to watch me eat. If you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed!"
"...Actually, I just want to save a little bit."
Just as he was talking, the boss brought up a plate of grilled skewers.
Olivia was about to speak when she heard a little girl next door asking her mother:
"Mom, the little shrimp can't go home. Are its parents worried?"
Her mother was stunned, and Olivia's mouth that was about to bite stopped.
Such kind words made them unable to speak.
This is how Louis finished a bunch of bites with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, their whole family is here."
Olivia was speechless and said: "The next sentence is to keep the whole family safe?"
"Hexia, the whole family thinks you are very humorous."
While the little girl was crying, the two of them ate shrimp skewers leisurely.
Suddenly a child came from the stall.
The child told the adults next to him that he wanted to eat shrimp.
The adult asked the price, then took the child and left.
The child glanced at it with nostalgia, and pulled the person away with a voice like "It's a waste of money, it's so expensive that I can get half a eye in my eyes."
Olivia looked at that scene, suddenly exhaled, and then said:
"Meyer, when I was sleeping, I told Beatrice that I wanted to eat strawberries."
"It was a winter, and it was still snowing outside. I fell asleep for a long time that winter, and when I woke up, I saw Beatrice standing in front of me."
"In her arms was a bag of strawberries, wrapped in her robe and protected with her body temperature to prevent frostbite from the strawberries."
"Can you really protect her?"
Louis raised his head inexplicably: "I have a reason why I can't lose her."
Whether it's for yourself, or for... huh? What for?
Olivia ate the shrimp meat in one bite and said:
"Then remember your words and keep them in mind."
