"Are you still going shopping?"
"...Kiss me again?"
“…”
So until noon, until the orange glow appeared in the sky, announcing the end of the long polar night, the two people on the astronomical table did not leave, let alone go shopping in the royal city.
On the first day after the polar night, sunrise and sunset only last for a moment.
It rises in the blink of an eye and sinks in the blink of an eye.
Very short.
This moment of sunshine did not cause much harm to Sigourney.
But Ash seemed to have set an alarm in his mind. Even though he was dazed by the kiss, he still remembered the incident clearly before the sun came out. He pulled Sigourney into the wizard tower without giving her a chance to refuse.
"That's not necessary," said Signe.
Ash insisted, "It will still be uncomfortable, right?"
Sigourney: "…making a mountain out of a molehill."
Having said that, he still let Ash pull him under the shelter of the building.
Standing at the entrance of the observatory, they quietly looked at the dark blue sky and captured the fleeting light.
It comes suddenly and disappears in a flash.
The polar night is over.
As spring and summer arrive in the north, the time that Sigourney can freely move outside will become shorter and shorter.
But Sigourney didn't care. He didn't like going out. It was just that he was planning to find Mercator recently, so there might be some influence and obstacles.
Ash was deep in thought. Under the guidance of his teacher, he had been secretly studying the "sunscreen" used by vampires. Sunscreen was originally a magic potion developed by Nance for Sigourney. It could not completely block the sun, but it could allow vampires to stay in the sun for a little longer.
What he did was to improve, optimize and perfect the original magic potion, hoping to achieve better sun protection effects.
With Iluf's current knowledge of potions, it was difficult to realize his ideas, so he privately read a lot of Rachel's collection of ancient books. Now he can also consult Lan and benefit a lot.
Although we cannot produce a finished product yet, we have some feasible ideas for making sunscreen and can see signs of hope.
What is needed is countless experiments and countless failures, which will eventually lead to a success.
He was looking forward to seeing Sigourney standing in the sunlight - of course, not using his body, but the vampire's own body.
"Um... cough." While the two were lost in thought, Selvi's shy voice came from all around, "Are you... done with your work? Lord Nance asked me to tell him that everyone is waiting for you in the dining room."
From his shy yet slightly excited tone, you could tell that this alchemical being had probably been watching from the beginning to the end.
Ash pursed his lips sheepishly, "We'll be right down."
He and Sigourney arrived at the dining room, and as expected, were greeted by the lively and lively decoration in the dining room - an occasion for a carefully arranged birthday party.
As soon as I walked in, I heard everyone laughing and shouting, "Happy birthday, Ash!"
Almost all the friends in the wizard tower are here.
Jane didn't want to come at first, but she couldn't resist the hamster Xiao Jin's constant nagging.
He thought about it, and for some reason, he pulled Quentin, who lived next door to him, over.
Only Joshua couldn't come because he was still in the relapse period.
Brent brought Joshua's portion to give Ash a birthday present.
Although I'm not in Duogu Village, I can still receive a lot of gifts on my birthday.
They had a lively lunch. Except for the fact that everyone's attention was inadvertently drawn to Ash's rosy and slightly swollen lips, this afternoon was undoubtedly relaxing and enjoyable.
Finally, Nance said, "We've moved the evening celebration party forward to noon - so you can go anywhere you want tonight. You don't have to rush back for dinner." He was hinting that it was okay to not come home all night!
Ash: "...Yeah."
Sigourney absolutely didn't want to face this group of people again.
From the moment she entered the door, she had been looking at him secretly with subtle eyes... He was already quite familiar with the meaning of this look, the same look that he had encountered before, "Sigourney didn't expect you to be this kind of Sigourney."
Of course, this time, he was finally no longer wronged.
But it's still annoying.
I feel like hitting someone when they are stared at.
In order to avoid seeing blood on Ash's birthday, Sigourney grabbed Ash, waved casually to everyone, strode out of the wizard tower, and continued the shopping activity that she had not completed in the morning.
Today, the people of the royal city were once again stimulated.
Oh my god, Scarlet Moon and his little lover are out shopping together!
They are still together?
My little lover is still alive?
Miracle!
After a while, everyone changed the topic.
Is the little lover studying potions? Scarlet Moon bought him a lot of potion materials.
Buy whatever you want! Super generous! Spend money like water!
It's so inhumane!
Many wizards who are short of money and have difficulty in researching potions can't help but think with envy that if Scarlet Moon can provide all their potion materials, they are willing to give up their lives and try to be with Scarlet Moon!
Ash and Sigourney wandered around the royal city for an entire afternoon, leaving the people with countless imaginative writing materials, and then returned to the wizard tower without any interest.
After returning to the wizard tower, he received a frustrated glare from Nance, who was disappointed with him.
——Are you back soon?
What about not coming home overnight?
I don’t understand.
How does someone like Sigourney find her way out of being single?
It's obvious that you are destined to be alone, how can you ever escape from being single?
Wasn't his hint at noon clear enough? Huh?!
Indeed, collecting some atlas materials is urgent!
Not understanding Nance's impatience, Ash and Sigourney slowly returned to the room.
I was stunned when I entered the room. The two beds in the room were gone, replaced by a more luxurious and spacious bed.
At the same time, Selvi's proud voice rang in their ears: "Happy birthday, Ash. This is my birthday present for you, I hope you like it."
Ash blinked, "...I like it." He couldn't help but laugh.
Sigourney: “…” It must have been Nance’s idea!
"Selvi." Signe said coldly, "You can leave here. You are not allowed to enter this room tonight."
Before Selvi could protest, she obeyed Sigourney's wishes and left the bedroom.
Ash was left looking at Sigourney with sparkling eyes, could it be... 11,000 words?
Sigourney felt a headache from his shy, nervous, and expectant gaze. She raised her hand and poked his forehead with a tense expression, "Go wash up and have a rest."
When Ash turned around obediently, he added firmly: "Don't let your imagination run wild."
Ash seemed to say "oh" in a depressed tone, but a sly smile appeared on his face with his back to Sigourney. Sigourney also had a big reaction to this kind of thing. It was very interesting to see the vampire's beautiful face showing a nervous or distressed expression that he himself didn't even notice.
I feel so sweet in my heart.
Even if there weren't 11,000 words, he would be very satisfied to see Sigourney's expression.
After washing up, Ash was still thinking this as he walked out all wet.
It was not until he saw Sigourney standing upright in the middle of the room that his thoughts came to an abrupt halt. His mind went blank in an instant and he could not think of anything.
Sigourney stood in the middle of the room.
The lights in the room dimmed.
The moonlight and starlight outside the window were brought in by magic, clear and cool, flowing to every corner.
Her silver hair was loose, like delicate and cool silk in the moonlight and starlight.
The beautiful vampire was wearing a gorgeous dance costume. The soft fabric outlined his tall and straight body and smooth and beautiful muscle lines. The wide sleeves hung quietly to the ground like flowing water.
Just one still picture is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless and makes you hold your breath.
Ash had seen this dance costume before.
On the night of the Duogu Village celebration a year ago, on that tall and magnificent stage, when he was facing a life-and-death crisis for himself and his friends.
He saw the vampire wearing a gorgeous dance costume, dancing on the platform, then walking towards him step by step, and in front of him, cutting off the enemy's head with a sharp blade.
And now, he saw it again.
He stood there in a daze, his heart instantly shocked.
He wanted to say something, but when he met the eyes of the vampire opposite him, he closed his mouth quietly.
The vampire's eyes say: Watch.
So he watched.
Watching the vampire dance, dancing gracefully in the silent room.
Then he heard a voice.
From nature, from the forest, the sound of wind, the sound of trees and grass.
Rustle, rustle——
Brush la la——
He seemed to see vampires dancing lightly and gracefully on the fresh green meadows, in the lush forests, and on the sparkling lake.
A sigh of praise slowly overflowed from his heart. This was the dance of the elves.
Surging with vitality.
His heart was pounding again.
Before he knew it, the vampire was walking towards him and holding his face.
"Birthday present." The vampire said with a faint smile in his eyes, "Happy seventeenth birthday."
He said, "It's too much trouble to prepare a gift. How about I dance for you every year from now on?"
Ash hugged him tightly, "Okay!"
