Just when Ge Sheng wanted to learn more about his mother's dark history, Christie's soft footsteps slowly came from behind.
"We had a great time chatting." Christie said softly from behind, but no specific emotion could be heard. Ge Sheng turned around and saw Christie taking down the black-glazed tea set from the celadon tray in his hand.
"Let's rinse your mouth first." With that said, Christie casually placed three cups of green tea in front of the three people sitting on the seat.
"My food is ready." The chestnut-haired girl held up the tray and said calmly: "Want to eat?"
"Of course." Noct said with a smile. He stood up on his knees and reached out to take the tray in Christie's hand, but his daughter calmly avoided it.
She shook her head calmly: "You're not tired, do you want to eat?"
Ge Sheng lowered his head and looked carefully at the steaming cup of tea in front of him. He tried to drink it, and felt that it was fragrant and fragrant. The temperature was moderate, and the aftertaste in his mouth was sweet and not astringent. It was obviously a high-quality tea. Naturally, he didn't like it. I will forget Christie's words of "rinse your mouth first", but I still have the urge to swallow it.
In An Ning's education, there was never any instruction about gargling with tea before meals.
"Drink if you want." Christie turned around and said, then turned and walked towards the restaurant.
There is a long corridor between the living room and the dining room. Passing through the corridors hung with various portraits and landscapes, Ge Sheng saw the dining room of this black and white palace.
Just as Ge Sheng expected, this restaurant is also a large restaurant used only for family gatherings. Three long and tall chicken-wing wooden tables are covered with snow-white tablecloths. Children, women and men are obviously separated according to the specifications and sizes. This is ancient and The vulgar custom has been extinct for hundreds of years. Ge Sheng did not expect that the Croft family might still be continuing it not so long ago.
The reason for this speculation is that the furnishings here seem to have not changed for hundreds of years, and surprisingly not a speck of dust has fallen on the snow-white tablecloths.
"It was no longer used three years ago." Christie saw Ge Sheng paying attention to the three rows of dining tables and explained as he strolled past: "You guys sit down first, and I'll serve the food."
Watching Christie leave, Ge Sheng was hesitating which table to sit at, when he saw that Noct and Stella had already taken their seats in the middle seat, which was obviously the most distinguished seat. They sat in the left seat under the main seat, leaving the chairperson empty. Come down.
The two hosts had already sat down, and there was no room for Ge Sheng to hesitate, so he had to sit on the right seat under the host's seat. He had just sat down for a moment when he heard the sound of the dining car slowly coming.
Christie just went to pick up the food, so naturally she didn't have to spend any time. When she came to the door, she raised her eyes and lightly glanced at the seats of Ge Sheng and the others. She raised a slightly self-deprecating smile at the corner of her mouth, and then hooked the door with her foot. Calmly passed through the three people, and placed four portions of tea, drinks, meals, and soup.
Then.
Christie pushed the dining car away with one hand and took the main seat calmly and calmly.
Christie was sitting high up. She had taken off her shiny white gown and put on a lavender gown. There was no emotion in her lavender pupils, she was just looking down at Ge Sheng and her husband coldly. His parents, then a bright and sad smile slowly appeared on their lips, and they slowly read out the eulogy before the meal.
"Thank you to the gods of heaven and earth."
Ge Sheng left the Palace of Black and White and joined Christie.
The lunch was very delicious, even beyond the scope of deliciousness that Ge Sheng could understand. Only then did Ge Sheng truly understand the room for improvement that Christie said proudly and narcissistically in Ao no Gensokyo.
No matter from any angle, this lunch handmade by Christie is the most delicious thing Ge Sheng has tasted since he was born, whether it is tea, appetizing snacks, dishes provided, or the final soup. Just like the "candy" given by Christie before, it is full of incredible dreams and surprises.
But at the same time, this was also the most uncomfortable and embarrassing lunch in Ge Sheng's life.
He had never felt such a sad and awkward atmosphere. When Christie took his seat, no one at the entire table said a word. The four of them were silently tasting the food in front of them. However, even if any food was a peerless delicacy that could eclipse all words, it could not dilute the scene at all. That terrible, sad atmosphere.
When Ge Sheng drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl and raised his head, he saw Christie standing quietly in front of him, and then said: "Let's go."
While Ge Sheng stood up, Stella slowly turned around. She and Christie's cool faces showed a calm expression: "Can you let him stay for a while? I want to talk to him more about An Ning."
Before Ge Sheng could answer, Christie smiled and simply replied for Ge Sheng: "No, dear mother."
Noct and Stella did not get up to see each other off, they just sat in their seats and watched the backs of Ge Sheng and Christie slowly disappear.
"Our daughter." Noct looked at the door where the figure disappeared, and looked up at the ceiling. There was a hard and heavy rock with dense metal nets inside.
"An Ning's son." Stella smiled and looked at the sky in the northeast, even though it was still thousands of feet above the ground.
"Did you know Tina has such good skills?" Noct looked back at his wife.
"How dare she let us know?" Stella smiled, lowered her head and bit her lip gently, then raised her head, looked at her husband, her voice trembled slightly: "If you knew that we would give birth to such a terrible child, Monster, would you still let her be born in the first place?"
Noct smiled and stared at Stella: "You have the answer yourself, why do you ask me?"
"The old monster's obsession eventually led to the birth of a more outstanding and terrifying monster like our daughter in our family, but he was also buried for it. He didn't even know that his long-cherished wish had actually come true before he died. Every time When I think about this, there is a heartfelt sweetness of revenge.”
"The only thing I regret is why she was born in our child."
Noct said this. He was such a handsome man, but his tone eventually changed from a plain smile to a deep regret.
"If only we had found out earlier."
Stella looked at her husband who was a little out of control, thought for a long time, and then slowly said a word.
"Do you regret it?"
"I never."
"All in all, I, Stella Croft, have never regretted anything I have done."
