Chapter 355: This is how it should be
Anno had already drunk quite a bit of wine in a short time. These wines were different from the wines in her palace; they were all mixed drinks, colorful and with flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. Anno found them novel and couldn't stop drinking them.
"Anno, what are you doing here?"
Xi Mo stepped forward and glanced at the two men sitting with her.
The two men had a cold demeanor and a powerful aura; just sitting there, they exuded an invisible pressure.
Xi Mo and his teammates looked at Anuo with some surprise.
They didn't interact with Anno much, but they became acquainted with him and met him a few times a week for classes.
In their eyes, Anuo was someone with exceptionally good grades, who was diligent, low-key, and had a gentle and quiet personality.
I never imagined I'd be sitting in a pub with a flushed face, drinking like this.
Moreover, the two men beside her seemed to have a very close relationship with her.
For a moment, the team members were all speculating.
Caesar glanced at them and asked coldly, "What is it?"
The group of teenagers looked at each other, wondering if this man was someone they could easily get along with.
One of the boys said, "We are Anno's classmates."
Anno was already a little tipsy. She leaned on Caesar's shoulder and waved to them, saying, "Hey, you guys are here for a drink too!"
She still looked like a gentle and obedient little girl, with bright eyes, and didn't seem drunk, but they just felt that she was different from usual.
They stared wide-eyed as they watched Anno lean against the man, clinging to his arm in a very intimate manner.
They saw her with another guy last night. What's going on between them?
Xi Mo said to An Nuo, "We just finished training. This is a tavern we frequent. We come here occasionally for meals and drinks."
Anno said "Oh" and smiled, "Then we can come together next time. The wine at this tavern is very good."
Caesar coughed and said to Anno in the consciousness network, "Your Highness, are you sure you want to drink with other people?"
Anno gets drunk as soon as she drinks and becomes very lively, so Caesar and the others dare not let her drink with others during the disguise period.
Anno was almost drunk by now. She knelt on the sofa and leaned close to Caesar. "Why can't I drink with them? They're my classmates. I can do whatever I want. You can't say no."
Caesar's eyes showed a look of helplessness mixed with doting affection. "Yes, Your Highness, I'll do whatever you say."
Anuo pinched his cheek and kissed him on the cheek: "That's more like it. You'd better behave, or I'll throw you back."
Xi Mo and his team members have entered a state of petrification.
Caesar glanced at them, and fearing that His Highness might reveal too much, he explained, "Nono is drunk."
Xi Mo looked at An Nuo with mixed feelings. Yesterday, An Nuo said that she and her boyfriend would never break up, so how come there's another one today... He glanced at the man sitting across from them and guessed that there were probably two more.
Anno had already held a wine glass to the man's lips, and the man drank the wine from her hand. Anno then asked him with a smile how it tasted.
"It's delicious," the man said, his dark, swirling eyes looking at them as if to say, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Xi Mo had been quite shaken these past two days, so he stopped talking and found a seat next to them.
As soon as they sat down, the team members started talking quietly, their eyes constantly glancing at Anuo's table, until the two men gave them a sharp look, at which point they looked away.
"Wow, I didn't realize Anno was so strong."
The team members gasped, "Including last night's, she has three boyfriends now? Geminis are amazing!"
"Can she...can she handle it? She looks so petite..."
One of the girls coughed and stopped talking. The team members exchanged knowing glances, their unspoken meaning clear.
One of the team members nudged the somewhat silent Xi Mo with his elbow, "Captain, don't be sad. Maybe you still have a chance. Perhaps Anuo won't mind having one more."
Xi Mo glanced at him sharply, and he immediately shut his mouth.
The team members thought to themselves, "If the captain doesn't mind, we can give it a try. It's better than having no chance at all. It just so happens that Anuo already has so many boyfriends, which means she doesn't mind having more boyfriends."
Several team members shared the same thought. Some races do indeed have multiple partners at the same time. Although Anno did not fit their ideal type of race, she profoundly demonstrated to them what it means to judge a book by its cover. She was just too beautiful.
They thought the captain liked her and that they could catch up with her quickly if they worked hard, but now it seems that it will be very difficult.
The difficulty wasn't with Anuo, but with the men around her. They didn't look like good people; their eyes were sharp as knives, and a single glance from them felt like a blade scraping against them.
You can tell at a glance that someone has experienced a lot of battles to have such a commanding presence.
Throughout the meal, Xi Mo's attention was entirely focused on the table next to him. Even if he didn't look, he could hear An Nuo's laughter from time to time. She did seem a little drunk, her face was flushed, but her eyes were bright as stars, and she wasn't drunk at all.
She opened all the remaining bottles of wine, and the two men, with perfect understanding, switched the bottles in front of her, giving her only a very small amount.
Anno took a sip and handed them the nearly full bottle, which they finished in one go. Despite drinking so much, they remained calm, drinking as if it were water.
Their relationship with Anno is somewhat different from that of typical boyfriends and girlfriends. They indulge Anno's behavior, doing whatever Anno asks them to do without any resistance. It's estimated that if Anno asked them to eat a wine bottle, they would readily do so.
They would carefully watch over Anuo to make sure she didn't bump into the tables and chairs, and would gently respond to her words and coax her.
Even when Anno was drunk, and young, pretty girls were clingy and affectionate in front of them, they didn't make a move on her. They remained upright and proper. Anno was always restless when drunk, and they just supported her with their hands, keeping all their attention on her.
On the contrary, Anno would touch their faces from time to time and rub against them, like some small animal asserting its ownership.
It looks strange, yet there's an inexplicable harmony to it.
It's as if that's how they were supposed to be.
