Chapter 1253: Interlude on the Journey



The seats in the compartment cannot be reclined, and sitting next to each other is not comfortable, so the most suitable position for passengers is to put their hands on the table. However, Ash took up two seats, so he put down all the armrests, crossed his legs and half-lying on them, supporting his cheek with his left hand, staring at the movie on the screen, and laughing from time to time, as lazy as a fat dog.

Who would have thought that such a guy would challenge the supreme hegemony of the Star Supreme? If he succeeded, he would be the supreme magician standing at the pinnacle of civilization, the undisputed master of the world, but he was still serving his lovers last night...

Felix pretended to look at the scenery outside, and only paid attention to Ash's movements with the corner of his eyes. Deda Rose finished flipping through the magazine, propped up her chin and looked at Felix with a squint. Because Felix's attention was in her "peripheral vision", it took her three seconds to notice Deda Rose's subtle look.

But Deda Rose was not the four Grim Reapers in the box behind, so Felix was not panicked at all.

She stretched nonchalantly, lowered her head and continued to flip through the magazine, pretending nothing had happened.

At this time, Deda Rose touched the space ring and took out the noise-canceling headphones, pure black eye mask and neck pillow. She poked Felix's waist, then put on the headphones, eye mask and neck pillow, turned her head to sleep facing outward, and her attitude was very clear - do whatever you want, I can't see or hear anything and I don't know anything.

Felix pretended to flip through the magazine for a while before looking up to continue looking at the scenery outside. It was sunny in the Blood Moon Kingdom today. She saw the sunlight shining through the car window, cut into square strips of light and draped over Ash. His earlobes were illuminated with a transparent luster, the hair on his arms sparkled with golden light, half of his face was bathed in the sun, and a gentle smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

She had only intended to watch from the corner of her eyes, but Felix became fascinated. In her mind, Ash had always been unreliable, lazy, greedy, and shameless, a garbage can of the highest level of magic. Sword Princess and the others had jumped into the fire pit in a moment of confusion. The day they woke up would be the day of Ash's judgment. But she also felt that Ash was... quite good-looking at times.

She took out a very small camera from her pocket. As she had several experiences of candid photography, Felix used a magazine as a cover. She adjusted the aperture and focus, and after taking seven or eight photos, Felix was satisfied. Just as she was about to take it back, Ash suddenly moved.

Felix shuddered, thinking that he had been discovered by the real owner, but Ash drank a sip of water and continued watching the show. It seemed that he was completely immersed in the world of the movie and the show and didn't pay attention to the surrounding movements. Because Ash changed his posture, Felix felt that the current composition was better than before, and couldn't help taking a few more photos.

I don't know what drama he was watching, but he kept making small movements, changing his pose every ten seconds. When he saw a good composition, Felix took it. For a moment, he was not bored at all, and even began to look forward to what pose Ash would make next.

After taking thirty-six photos, Felix finally noticed something was wrong.

She saw Ash very deliberately push up his bangs, then hook his fingers on the collar to reveal his collarbone, and strike a very unnatural pose to pretend to be cool.

Felix took a big sip of water to calm down, but after holding it in for three seconds he couldn't help it and spurted out a big sip of water, spraying it all over Ash's face across the table.

"What are you doing?" Weisser and Vichy popped up.

“I’m sorry,” Felix covered his mouth, but tears of laughter still squeezed out of his eyes: “His posture just now was so tacky… I really couldn’t help it…”

"Oh." Weisser understood immediately: "That's normal. His aesthetic is closer to that of teenagers. We have been teaching him for a long time but he still can't change. If we ignore his clothes one day, he will immediately lower the fashion taste of the entire team."

"Close to teenagers?" Vichy was a little confused.

"It's just that his aesthetic is no higher than that of a 16-year-old." Weisser said, "Do you remember his black shirt with a skull and chains on it?"

"Isn't that a ceremonial vestment? I don't really understand the ceremonial style of your era... but it's impossible for someone to use that kind of clothing as everyday clothing!"

"He was wearing that on the day he dated me," Sonia said calmly, "It was very cold those days and everyone was wearing winter clothes. He even wore only two shirts on purpose to show off his coolness... I took him to the mall to buy clothes but he still refused!"

"Uncle Harvey and Dad really refreshed my perception of aesthetics." Diya couldn't help but say, "I always like elements like darkness, death, graves, destruction, and especially some incomprehensible symbols. It's really..."

When talking about Ash's mudslide aesthetic, everyone spoke freely and the box was filled with laughter.

Ash wiped the water off his face, stared at Felix opposite him with a dark face, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Shouldn't you say something?"

"I'm sorry..." Felix covered his face: "I just couldn't help it..."

"You're still laughing now, and you never stop!" Ash stared at her shaking shoulders, his expression a little embarrassed, and muttered angrily: "I shouldn't have helped you if I had known!"

Felix finally stopped laughing, took a deep breath and looked at the sulking man in front of him. After Ash noticed that she was taking pictures secretly, he not only didn't say anything, but took the initiative to pose in various handsome poses (at least he thought it was handsome) to cooperate with Felix, as if he was also very proud... The Supreme Sorcery Master was actually secretly happy that a girl took pictures of him secretly... But this was indeed his style.

Felix didn't even bother pretending now, he held his face with both hands, looked at Ash with a smile on his face. Ash couldn't help but said, "If you really have nothing to do, you can go and take a picture of the beautiful girl on the other side."

"Is your hair too long?" Felix suddenly asked, "You often touch your bangs."

"I never had time to take care of it." Ash pushed his bangs up: "It's a bit long now, I can tie a braid in the back."

"I have a hair band, let me help you."

"I can do it myself—"

"Giving acupuncture to others is different from giving acupuncture to yourself." Felix stood up and leaned over. "Consider it my apology for spitting water in your face."

Ash lowered his head, and Felix tied up all his hair in front and back, revealing his smooth neck, which shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Do you use hairpins?"

"Need not."

"Well, I happen to be a little muddy here, so don't move."

Felix pushed all the hair on both sides of his head back, held his face and looked at it for a moment, "Your eyelashes are so messy, let me help you curl them."

"No need?"

"After you have them done, you can ask Sword Princess what is different about herself. If she can't answer that it's her eyelashes, you can take the opportunity to accuse her of not liking herself enough, and then--"

"Okay!" Ash understood immediately.

“You are such a…” Felix chuckled and took out his eyelash curler: “Raise first, squint second, move third. Raise your eyebrows first and then squint your eyes.”

Ash did as he was told. Felix's hand completely blocked his view. He felt his eyelashes being gently pulled and straightened, and then...

Two soft petals gently pressed against his lips, and the fresh scent of jasmine lingered around his nose.

"alright."

Felix sat back down and said calmly, "This way we are even."

Ash touched his lips and stared at her blankly. She blinked and added as if she remembered something: "I'm sorry that my finger touched your lips just now."

"finger?"

"Yeah, the back of the finger."

Ash looked at the back of his fingers and was about to kiss them to try the taste when Felix grabbed his hand.

"It means the back." Miss Vosiloda stared at him, her voice trembling slightly: "What else could it be?"

From the other side of the compartment came the frustrated voice of Diya who lost the card game. It seemed that their gambling battle had entered a white-hot stage. Deda Rose, wearing headphones and eye masks, swayed with the shaking of the train and seemed to have fallen asleep. Ash felt the uneasiness and entanglement coming from Felix's palm and sighed: "Okay."

Felix breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually, "What drama are you watching that makes you cry and laugh at the same time."

"'Wild Wild'," said Ash. "The story of the gangster hero and the sheriff heroine's love-hate relationship is quite interesting, especially the heroine. Although she stands on the opposite side of everyone because of her sense of justice, the person everyone trusts the most in times of crisis is the heroine."

"Why--"

The two chatted casually, and Felix's attitude became much more natural. Even if Weisser looked over occasionally, she could still talk to Ash calmly, as if she had broken free from some shackles, or as if she had received some encouragement.

Suddenly, a broadcast sounded in the carriage:

"The restaurant in Carriage 10 now offers the Ultimate Magic Three-in-One Red Flame Lala Fat, limited supply, first come first served!"

Chiyan Lala Fei! And it is the ultimate magic weapon three in one!

Ash's appetite was excited when he heard this. Felix also knew that Ash particularly liked Lala fatty food, so he asked, "Shall I get you some?"

"No." Ash thought about it and gave up: "It feels weird to eat alone... and no matter how delicious the food on the train is, it's not that good. I'd better save this expectation for the high-end restaurants in Kaimen City."

They thought this broadcast should be a very rare one, but a few minutes later it sounded again -

"Passengers with healing abilities, please go to carriage number 10."

"It looks like someone is injured or sick." Felix guessed.

Ash nodded and said casually, "But there are still a lot of healers, so it won't be a big problem. If it rings a second time, Felix, go check it out when you have time."

"Um."

A few minutes later, the announcement came for the third time, but the content was different:

"Passengers who have traveled to three countries or more, please go to carriage number 10."
