Thunder: "Don't dress like that, I don't like people seeing your fair skin..."
An Ning: "Are you jealous? Are you jealous...?"
Lei Ting: "It's not that I'm jealous, it's that I don't like it... My beloved woman can only be seen by me."
An Ning: "Lei Ting, your love is so forceful, but I like it, hehe..."
M brought out a sheer shawl, which Anning put on to satisfy Lei Ting. The two walked into the castle. The exterior was simple and grand, but the interior was surprisingly decorated in a Chinese style. Allen had placed a pool in the basement of the room. The shape of the pool was a sea dragon specially designed for him by Liao Qian. The pool was covered with crystals. When you stepped on it, several black koi would swim around in the dragon pool, as if they had been trained. They carried Anning and Lei Ting's feet to the water column in front of them. Dry ice shone from the water column. Anning bent down, and M brought her some fish food. Anning threw it into the pool, and the black koi ate it all.
An Ning: "Haha, Thunder, look at how they're scrambling for attention, doesn't it remind you of the pigs and carp you mentioned in the Fengtian mansion?"
Thunder: "These black koi fish are just as good at managing their figures as Allen! They're not as mushy as pig koi fish."
Anning: "Haha... the little ones."
Thunder: "Don't fall, come here and I'll carry you over."
An Ning: "Okay."
Anning discovered that the living room of Hertz Castle was like a small island, surrounded by the Dragon Pool and separated by dry ice. In the display case of the living room, there were also many antique vases that Liao Qian had given to Allen.
Upon entering the large living room, the air was filled with the fragrance of gardenia hydrosol. The second floor of the living room was separated by crystal, and the entire second floor could be seen from the first floor. Looking up, several red-crowned cranes were seen craning their necks to greet the guests. It was hard to imagine that all of this belonged to a person from Niujin.
Liao Qian and Allen chatted next to Hans's teppanyaki grill. Hans was busy with several assistants, chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients. Some of the ingredients were still rooted in the ground, and they were picked and cooked to be incredibly tender. An Ning and Lei Ting came over arm in arm, and Allen greeted them.
Allen: "You're here. Sit down."
Hans: "Miss Anning, please have a seat."
Lei Ting: "An Ning, sit here, closer to me."
Anning: "Hehe, Allen, I didn't expect the inside of the castle to be like this!"
Allen: "This is all thanks to Liao Qian. He set up this scheme for me."
An Ning: "What is the 'game'?"
Thunder: "It's all about feng shui. The black koi in the Sea Dragon Pool can boost one's luck, and the red-crowned cranes overhead can absorb turbid air and expel good fortune. Liao Qian is helping Allen improve his luck!"
An Ning: "I see! Hehe, that's great."
Liao Qian was in a wheelchair, and Allen took care of him, feeding him soup. The two were very affectionate, which was quite enviable.
Liao Qian: "Anning, did you eat durian?"
Anning: "Your nose is really sharp, hehe, Leiting fed me a small piece."
Liao Qian: "Durian is warming and nourishing, you can eat more of it..."
Thunder: "Eating too much is too stimulating, moderation is key..."
Wherever Liao Qian and Lei Ting are, there's an atmosphere of lingering tension. These two sparks are like two irreconcilable adversaries, or perhaps like two inseparable brothers. Their interactions are sometimes fierce, sometimes overflowing with affection; in short, they're inseparable, and constantly undermining each other is their daily routine. An Ning, watching Lei Ting and Liao Qian at each other's throats, didn't know what to say. Allen broke the tension first.
