"Sister, I didn't remember that you were a love brain."
In the cafe, Luo Ka, who was wearing a yellow adventure uniform and goggles on his forehead, scratched his face and asked in disbelief: "Are you really ready to confess your love?"
"if not?"
After taking a sip of the sweetened milk, Tia said matter-of-factly: "I like him. I think we have a crush on each other. Why don't I confess?"
"No, I mean..."
The way Luo Ka scratched his head was a bit funny. He looked at his sister who was always resolute in front of him and said distressedly: "I just feel... I feel something is wrong when you, the majestic eldest lady of the empire, take the initiative to confess like this."
"why?"
Tiya frowned and asked a little confused: "Is there anything bad about this?"
"Look."
Luo Ka thought for a while and began to speak in a logical manner: "You are a majestic princess of the empire. You have become the commander of the Storm Legion with your strength without relying on your father. I won't mention your appearance, but I must say that you have indeed inherited your mother's beauty. , our family is considered rich enough, and your conditions can be said to be perfect, why do you have to take the initiative to confess your love? "
"Yeah?"
Tiya raised her eyebrows, her delicate willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and said calmly: "I can become the commander of the Storm Legion because of my own strength, but without the environment and foundation given by my father, I can't do it. All this. I also inherited the advantages of my mother and father in terms of appearance. I don’t think I need to be proud of it. What I am proud of is only my decent qualities and personality. I feel that these things are not enough to make me proud. "
"Just accept death."
After scratching his hair, Luo Ka still wanted to make a final struggle, "No, you are still degrading yourself. That boy Zhou Li is nothing. Why did you identify him?"
"He has many advantages."
Having said this, Tiya changed her calm expression, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, "He is very considerate, always taking care of others inadvertently with relaxed words and actions. He is obviously a brave man, but During the march, he always walked on the flank of the team. He told me that he was very strong, so if he encountered an enemy sneak attack, he would react faster than ordinary soldiers."
"He always fights with me, but he always gives me respect under the gaze of others. He never demands or accuses without reason. It seems that equality is his creed, which makes me feel very comfortable. .Zhou Li is an ordinary person, but he will still draw his sword and face the devil directly, and he will also use his life to find a way out for his partners."
"The most important thing is that I like him."
Looking at the surprised Luoka in front of her, Tiya said softly with a faint smile: "If you want to confess, no matter how many reasons you give, they are just cover-ups. Now that I have noticed my feelings, the so-called activeness and passivity have nothing to do with each other. Meaningless delay. If I don't even have the courage to stand in front of him and confess my love to him, it will only prove that Tia, the leader of the Storm Legion, is just a cowardly person."
"I've always had courage, you should know that."
Staring blankly at Tia with a decisive smile in front of him, Luo Ka felt mixed emotions for a moment. As Zhou Li's bad friend, he certainly knew what kind of person Zhou Li was. In other words, their family, including Evan and Herinin, had a very good impression of Zhou Li and Eluma.
"Alas..."
Luo Ka let out a long sigh, then stuck his head out, and said to the man behind him who was wearing a windbreaker and a mask: "Brother, stop pretending, I really don't know how you dare to be a demigod-level explorer. And disguised in front of a Brilliant-level Stormtrooper."
"What disguise? It's cold, I'm afraid of the cold."
Evan took off his glasses and mask, held Luoka aside with dignity, and said righteously to Tia in front of him: "Tiya, I feel your determination and courage. I also know Zhou Li. A nice young man, of course, the most important thing is that you like him."
"Well, big brother, just support me."
Put away his hands and come from the east
Looking at Fang Santing's series of paintings of bespectacled girls, Tiya looked at Evan who was sitting upright in front of her, squinted her eyes, and asked with a smile: "So, do you all agree to help me on January 10th?"
"You tell me first, let me take a look."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Tia's second high-end painting. Luoka was filled with tears, but she was sitting honestly on the chair. What stood out was her frankness. luxuriant
"So why is it January 10th?"
As Tia's eldest brother, Evan is still a bit majestic no matter what. He coughed lightly and asked: "There are only three days before the Winter Festival on January 10th. Why not express your love on the Winter Festival? What are the days?" The atmosphere is very good.”
"January 10th is his birthday."
Tiya nodded her eyebrows and said, "Zhou Li mentioned it when I had dinner with him last time. He said that every year on January 10th, their family prepares a bowl of noodles for him, which is called longevity noodles. Later, I asked Eluma, and she told me that this is the food custom of Dongfang Santing. On everyone’s birthday, a bowl of longevity noodles is prepared at home, so Zhou Li’s birthday should be January 10th.”
It’s over.
Evan and Luo Ka looked at each other and saw what was in each other's hearts.
My little sister really liked the divorce last week. luxuriant
"Ahem..."
Luoka coughed twice, and then asked Tiya: "So Lord Tiya, how do you want us to cooperate with you?"
"I've already inquired."
Tia picked up the sweetened milk in front of her and drank it all, then said with confidence: "Zhou Li's first stop in this world is the town of Delta, where a festival is held every January 9th. . I have already contacted them. The scale of the festival will be expanded and magic fireworks will be added. I will confess my love to Zhou Li in the early morning of the 10th. You need to help me set up the scene, can you?"
"no problem."
Neither Evan nor Luo Ka refused their little sister, even if they wanted to hand over the family's beloved little sister to Zhou Li. They gritted their teeth and agreed, promising to make the festival a Tariq-level scale.
"Then I'll leave."
Tiya stood up, placed a silver coin on the tray aside, and then said to the two men in front of them who were immersed in sadness that their cabbage was about to be eaten, "I will personally explain it to my father, don't worry."
******************
Zhou Li found that Tiya was acting strange recently.
Indescribably strange.
Sitting on the sofa in the room, Zhou Li looked at Tiya beside him with some confusion, feeling a little strange for a moment.
Does she usually sit this close?
Looking at Tiya who was about to press against him if she got any closer, Zhou Li scratched his cheek with his fingers and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"If I say I'm not feeling well, can you let me lean on you for a moment?"
Tiya looked at Zhou Li and asked seriously.
"ah?"
Zhou Li was stunned, then he looked at Tiya and replied blankly: "This... is okay, but..."
"Then I'm going to lie, I'm not feeling well."
Tiya nodded, and then leaned directly on Zhou Li's shoulder. With the faint fragrance coming towards him and the soft body beside him, Zhou Li suddenly stiffened and couldn't express his expression.
"What's going on with you?"
After a while, Zhou Li, who had become accustomed to Tiya, adjusted his sitting position somewhat unclearly to make Tiya next to him more comfortable, "Did you quarrel with your father?"
"Almost."
Feeling the reassuring atmosphere, Tia replied softly: "On January 9th, he wanted me to attend a party from Magnum. I didn't want to go, so he said a few words to me."
"That's not bad."
Zhou Li knew he was safe as soon as he heard these words, "Your father knows that you don't like that kind of occasion, so he probably didn't intend to let you go in the first place."
"I know."
Tiya nodded gently and said after a frivolous breath: "I also know that he wanted to talk to me when he left me behind and said a few words to me, but if he really wants me, he can tell me. I'm not always Ignore him, he's just busy, so it's okay to send him a message or something."
"If you don't talk about this stuff, he won't either."
Thinking of the old man who was always confident in everything he did, as if everything was under his control, Zhou Li laughed dumbly and said, "The same goes for your father. He obviously just misses his daughter, so he has to find such an excuse to talk to her. It would be great if you could chat for a few words and open up the conversation."
"Hmph~ I won't tell you."
Tiya arched the tip of her delicate nose and said with a faint smile: "I'll just see how long he can stay awkward."
"You..."
Zhou Li smiled helplessly and shook his head. Since Tiya's mother died of illness after giving birth to her, Herining, the emperor of the empire, did not know how to get along with his daughter. He obviously likes this lovely daughter very much, but he often beats his other two sons and doesn't know how to educate them. In the end, Evan and Lorca became the ones who took care of young Tia for the longest time.
Of course, Tia also knew that Herinen was in love with her, and she often saw Herinen hanging around her training ground and paying attention to her diet and life. Even on his desk, which was so simple that only pen and paper were used, there were photos of her, Evan and Lorca, as well as photos of his mother. luxuriant
In fact, Tia had forgiven Herrinen a long time ago, even though he could not return home several times a year. Under the guidance of Lorca and Evan, she knew that the peace and harmony of this country were inseparable from her father's efforts and dedication. She also knew that her father had devoted all his free time to herself and her brother. He had almost given up all rest and entertainment.
Therefore, Tiya has never resented her father. Even though this father was extremely awkward and always showed his face without being nervous when facing her, she still loved this stubborn old father.
"By the way, I'm going to Victor City in December. Do you want to go with me?"
At this time, Zhou Li suddenly remembered something and said to Tiya who was standing aside: "Muqi sent a message saying that a space node appeared in their Victor City. Their space technology is very poor, so they cannot analyze it. , wants us to go and see where that node leads. I heard that that node has the aura of the ancient profession Black Emperor, so I want to take a look."
"Um···"
Tia thought for a moment, then said after a brief thought: "The strength of two teams should be enough."
"It must be enough."
Zhou Li shook his head and said with a smile: "The data transmitted from Mu Qi are very stable, which means that the portal is one-way. As long as you are careful, there will be no problems."
"I'll go too."
To Zhou Li's surprise, Tiya sat up straight and said to him with a serious face: "The Black Emperor is the existence that Tarik has been paying close attention to. If Mu Qi really detects the traces of the Black Emperor, then I will go and observe this space node in person."
"Ah, so that's it."
Zhou Li suddenly realized, and at this moment, Eluma walked in carrying a coffee pot. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Tia in a blue nightgown, and then said with some surprise: "Tiya, what are you doing today?" Wearing lipstick?"
"Um????"
Zhou Li was stunned immediately. luxuriant
"Hey, Sister Eluma, can you tell?"
Tia was stunned, she touched her lips, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not lipstick, just a lipstick."
"Anyway, it will look good on your lips."
Eluma skillfully took out three coffee cups and a sugar bowl, put two tablespoons of sugar and half a cup of milk for Tiya, who had a sweet tooth, and made Zhou Li a cup of pure bitter coffee, then sat aside and asked Tiya : "Tiya, Zhou Li and I are going to Muqi in December. There is the aura of the Black Emperor there. Do you want to go with us?"
"I
I just happened to talk to her. "
Zhou Li thanked him, took the coffee, and drank it in one gulp, "Tiya will go with us."
"That's great."
Eluma was stunned for a moment, then happily said to Tia: "This time we can go on a mission together again."
After getting along for a long time, Zhou Li discovered that under Eluma's cold and plain appearance, there was a pure and somewhat naive soul like a Samoyed. Of course, this kind of silly personality is very cute, and it is a cute contrast to her usual divinity. At the same time, because Eluma is his companion who has always accompanied him on adventures, the relationship between him and Eluma is also very good. It can be said that they are comrades who can trust each other's back.
The same was true for Tia. Looking at Eluma with a happy face, she smiled unconsciously. In the warm room, the girls chatted happily, while Zhou Li sat aside, chewing on melon seeds and interjecting from time to time. The three people always say and do something in tacit agreement. This scene is like a beautiful and yellowish photo, fixed in the mind.
"Huh~"
In the forest, Zhou Li suddenly sat up, breathing heavily. After a moment, he looked at the slowly burning fire in front of him, turned his head, and glanced at Atalona who was looking up at the stars. After a brief absence, Zhou Li looked at Eluma, who was sleeping beside him.
It's a dream...
He rubbed his eyes, his thoughts racing for a moment. Zhou Li still remembered that in December of that life, he, Tia and Torea came to the city named Victor. luxuriant
Then, I met her...
Black Emperor Futaba.
