Chapter 503: Talia's Counterattack
Lanqi, wearing a casual vest, sat on a bench in the Heart Square with Hyperion and Talia, enjoying the leisure time at three or four in the afternoon.
The only sounds echoing in their ears were the laughter of children chasing and playing in the open square and the clanging of handbells.
After touring the nearby commercial street in the afternoon, we found a perfect resting place along the way with a wide view of the main city.
This square, located on high ground, feels like being on a mountain and from where you can see the vibrant people in the distant city coming and going. It is surrounded by magnificent buildings, many of which are made with ancient craftsmanship and decorated with statues.
In the afternoon sky with sparse clouds, a flock of birds flew by in the distance.
Surrounding the Xinmai Square are bustling shopping streets, various exotic restaurants and cafes. It is the center of residents' daily life and commercial activities. They walked around for a long time but felt that they had only visited a small corner.
The first breeze after leaving the commercial street blew gently across her cheek, causing Hyperion to unconsciously squint her eyes in comfort.
The noise of the people, the performance of the musicians, the laughter and singing of someone, can all be heard from this height.
The three of them basically spent the afternoon strolling around, and whenever they saw a nice store, they would go in and buy some of Nanwantina's specialty drinks and desserts.
Later, on the way home, when they were walking back to the Heart Square, Talia suddenly stopped because of something.
What came into view was a small shop.
After school, the children cheered and ran on the cobblestone road to the store, handing their coins to the counter one after another without any regret or remorse.
Talia couldn't smell it from a distance, but judging by the children's expressions, it must be a popular snack.
So Hyperion glanced at Lanch several times, and Lanch nodded, said a brief goodbye to both of them, and walked away alone.
If Talia or Hyperion were standing in line with the other children, it might be a bit embarrassing, but Lanqi didn't care. He even chatted with the children gently and asked about their studies.
At this time, Hyperion unexpectedly felt that Lanqi might be a good father in the future, and he knew how to get along with children.
Soon, Lanqi brought back three boxes of snacks.
The three of them came together to the wooden bench set up on the side of the square road.
Hyperion's thoughts returned to reality and she stared at the dessert in her hand.
This icy cheesecake, which looks like both yogurt and ice cream, is served in a cardboard biscuit box, and you can see fresh strawberry flesh from the side.
Before Hyperion could completely open the box, Talia beside her had already scooped a spoonful of food with a wooden spoon and put it into her mouth.
There was no change in his expression afterwards, but his eyes lit up.
“…”
Talia looked up again and found that Lanci and Hyperion were staring at her cheeks, as if waiting for her to comment.
“Mm, it’s delicious.”
Talia commented seriously.
The one she had was chocolate flavor.
Hyperion smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that Tata liked the food, she also felt like she was enjoying a delicious meal.
However.
Hyperion noticed that Lanqi was looking at Tata and smiling, and he seemed to be enjoying the delicious food as well.
Hyperion: "..."
never mind.
Can't stop it.
At worst I can just save him again next time.
The three of them sat side by side, scooped up the dessert, feeling the sweetness and smoothness with their tongues while looking at the scenery of the main city of Nanwantina.
The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and from time to time on the wide, neatly paved road in the lowlands in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves passing by could be heard.
“…”
"I really want to stay together forever."
Hyperion squinted her eyes at the view, chewing the sour and sweet strawberries with crispy seeds, and couldn't help but confide her inner thoughts to herself.
I always feel at peace in the fantasy world of falling into the land of gentleness.
The only difference is that the person who is with her is not her parents, but another special person.
It would be nice if it could be maintained forever.
To be honest, she didn't want any more rifts between the three of them, or for any accidents to happen again that would cause the three of them to be unable to face each other.
Then Hyperion felt the gaze.
Lanci and Talia were both looking at her.
There was no surprise in their eyes.
Lanci still smiled as usual, and Talia still didn't smile as usual, but their expressions made Hyperion feel friendly.
"Thank you for always being there for me."
Hyperion hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed her sincere gratitude.
"Don't worry, Hyperion."
Talia put down the empty cardboard box in her hand and looked at her.
Although Lanqi didn't say anything, he looked down at Hyperion's hand, which had just eaten a small piece of cake.
“…”
Talia followed Ranch's line of sight and moved her eyes to his face.
The two of them stared at each other for a short while, the wind blew between them with a rustling sound, and the air gradually cooled down.
Hyperion looked around at the two of them, seeming a little unsure of how to speak for Lanci.
Lanqi was not particularly panicked this time.
"Uh, I haven't touched this box yet, and I'm a little full. Which of you two wants to try the matcha flavored cake?"
He picked up his unopened box of cake, handed it to the left, and asked as if asking for their help.
He just bought three boxes of different flavors.
"Tata, how about I try a small piece of matcha flavor and give you a small piece of strawberry flavor?"
Hyperion took the box from Lanqi's hand, looked at Talia and asked.
"Um."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Talia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Then she saw Hyperion cut a small piece of matcha with a clean spoon and put it on her box, then gave Talia a large piece of strawberry and handed her a box that was as big as one and a half cakes.
“…”
Talia stared at the brand new red and green cheesecake and felt like she had eaten two and a half of the three cakes.
They seemed to be finding ways to give things to themselves and make them accept them without them realizing it.
After looking at the cake for a long time.
"Thanks."
Talia said to the two people beside her.
Before she could pick up the wooden spoon, she saw the two people on her left looking at her in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Talia asked, confused.
"Tata, you know, your tone just now was very gentle."
Hyperion said a little excitedly.
"Yeah."
"Yes!"
"really."
Lanqi also supported Hyperion's testimony and echoed the statement.
Talia was silent for a long time, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by these two people.
"Acting."
She scooped up a spoonful of cake, focusing her attention on the cake in front of her, and whispered to herself.
"Oh! Tata is shy! It's so obvious that you're lying!"
Hyperion cheered and hugged Talia, snuggling up to her and smiling.
"Actually, I don't think Tata is necessarily shy anymore."
Lanqi analyzed carefully on the side.
Hyperion turned around and looked at Lanci in confusion.
"When Tata eats, he only thinks about one thing and doesn't think about anything else."
Lanci said.
"you."
The wooden spoon in Talia's hand paused, as if she was trying to suppress the impulse in her heart.
She looked at Lanqi's harmless and confused expression, as if it would be wrong to hit him at this time.
Finally she put the cake box on her legs, scooped up a spoonful, reached out and held Lanqi's chin, slightly pinched his mouth open, and stuffed the small spoonful into his mouth which had become a round hole.
“Mmmmm!”
Lanqi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had never predicted Talia's pattern of action.
There was a faint curve at the corner of Talia's mouth as she stared at Lanqi, as if warning him, "If you dare to mess with me again, just try it."
Hyperion sat between the two of them on the bench, shook her head helplessly and laughed.
When Lanci is reliable, the three of them can get along well.
There's actually nothing wrong with this kind of minor fight.
If only he would stop trying to use those fantastic ideas to test the limits of life.
