66. Night 66 Cake
The next day, Lu Xi woke up very early, perhaps because she only had two days left in this world, so she woke up very early. However, the one who woke up earlier than her was the mermaid. The maid said that he had already had breakfast and went to the study to work.
Lu Xi did not go over to disturb him. After breakfast, she asked the kitchen to prepare some tools and materials for her. When the mermaid came over after finishing her work, she saw her busy in the kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of cake. She was wearing an apron and was conscientiously decorating the cake with her head down.
At this time, Lu Xi happened to look up and saw the mermaid standing at the door, and immediately called him over.
"Asante, look at the cake I made for you."
The mermaid came over and looked at the cake in front of Lu Xi. She carefully outlined the last dollop of cream.
Yuan Sen looked at the cake. There were many roses decorated with tempting cream and a few tender green leaves beside it. Without tasting it, just by smelling the fragrance of the cake, Yuan Sen knew that it must be better than what he had eaten yesterday.
Lu Xi brought the cake to the dining table. She cut the round cake into several triangular pieces and placed one of them in front of the mermaid. The pale yellow cake base was set off by the abundant cream. Her cooking skills were professionally trained, and the cakes she made not only looked good, but also tasted as good as those made by a pastry chef.
"Ms. Lu Xi made this specially for me?" The mermaid stared at Lu Xi. She had no makeup on her face, and even her hair was tied casually, but she still looked bright and charming.
"Well, try it quickly," she urged.
Yuan Sen picked up the fork, picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth. Even though Lu Xi knew that his cooking skills were good, he still became nervous as he moved, until the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Is it delicious?" She looked at him nervously.
"Mm, very sweet."
It was not until yesterday that the mermaids knew what "sweet" meant and that the taste of each food was so different.
Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and took a piece to eat. The cake she made was too big, so she shared the leftovers with the servants in the villa. They were flattered and kept praising Lu Xi's cooking skills.
As she watched them walk away, Lu Xi's eyes grew melancholic. Why did she suddenly make a cake? Because it was the mermaid's birthday soon, and she couldn't wait until that day.
She thought, at least while she was still around, she could let the personality that had just tasted the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty flavors have a taste of the cake she made.
As for the other personality...
"System, can I not leave yet?"
"Host, your idea is very dangerous."
Lu Xi also knew it was very dangerous. She had never tried to complete a mission and still stay in that world. It was beyond the capabilities of the system and new system errors were likely to occur.
"Just for a while, okay?"
At least let her see another personality again.
"Host, not even a day is enough. We will leave after repairing the system. Staying here is illegal."
Even in her world, there are still corresponding laws to restrict clergy, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
Lu Xi's naive idea was not allowed by the system. It even sent a private message to the higher-ups, asking them to repair it as soon as possible. The reason was that the host was under great psychological pressure now, and if he stayed any longer, it might damage his mental health.
"Ms. Lu Xi, what are you doing here?"
On the terrace on the second floor of the villa, Lu Xi was sitting in a daze on a lounge chair when someone hugged her from behind. A pair of hands passed through her shoulders and circled her chest. A broad body came up from behind and a deep voice sounded in her ears.
"Have you finished your work?" Lu Xi turned around and looked at the mermaid.
"I don't want to do it anymore." His answer was very capricious.
No one knew that the window of his study could see the terrace. From the moment she appeared on the terrace, he was distracted again and again, and finally put down the documents.
"How can this be possible?" Lu Xi frowned.
Yuanshi has a lot of people working under him, and most of the things are done by other people. Only the more important tasks are handed over to him. How can he just not do it?
"Let's do it later." He didn't like her talking about work, so he gently curled up a strand of her hair with his fingers, watching the strands of hair entangled around her white fingertips and then slowly slide down.
"What was Miss Lu Xi thinking about just now?" He saw Lu Xi sitting here for a long time, just sitting there quietly, her slender figure motionless, as if she had turned into an oil painting. This made him feel uneasy, as if Miss Lu Xi had not woken up, and what he saw now was just an illusion.
Until I hugged her and felt her body temperature.
"Do you remember when you were a kid?" Lu Xi pointed at the people walking on the street outside the villa. They were a mother and son, and the boy looked only a few years old. "You are about the same age as him. I can't leave him for even a moment. He has to sneak out to find me..."
"You're still a crybaby. Do you remember how you learned to fold paper cranes? At that time..." Lu Xi spoke for a long time, but the mermaid didn't respond much. She thought that he was split into two personalities, and maybe he had forgotten those things a long time ago.
"Do you still remember those things?"
"Yeah." He replied sullenly, "But I've grown up now, and I won't lose Miss Lu Xi again this time."
Lu Xi smiled and said nothing.
"Ms. Lu Xi, are you troubled?"
"Hmm?" She looked up at him in confusion. The mermaid's eyes were serious and deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"You don't look happy."
When he came back from work, he noticed that even when she was smiling, she didn't seem happy.
"Is it because I lied to you before?" He thought that he could offset her anger by using his sense of taste. He knew that he was really wrong that night. Although he did not lie, he did not tell her that he had changed his personality.
"I apologize to you. I was impulsive." He could apologize, but he did not regret taking that step.
"No, I'm very happy because you have recovered your sense of taste now." She was really happy about this.
Hearing Lu Xi mention the sense of taste, the mermaid licked his lips, was silent for a moment, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I called Dr. Yuan Mu, and he said he didn't give you the medicine."
Hearing this, Lu Xi's body stiffened.
"So, where did Miss Lu Xi get that medicine?" He tightened his arms around Lu Xi's body. "Are you unhappy because someone threatened the medicine?"
"No, that's not the case."
"Where did that medicine come from? No one in the Yuan family can cure my sense of taste, so from whom did Miss Lu Xi get such an effective medicine?"
Facing his question, Lu Xi said nothing. The merman leaned his head on her shoulder, absorbing her unique body fragrance. "Ms. Lu Xi, what secrets are you hiding?"
Lu Xi took a deep breath, "Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"
"No." He shook his head, put his face close to her ear, and rubbed her hair, "I'm afraid you don't want me."
He found that he didn't understand her at all, he didn't understand her when he was a child, and he didn't understand her now. She seemed to be a mystery, breaking into his life again and again, and leaving without permission.
"Don't leave me again..."
Lu Xi lowered her head in silence, her heart aching. She didn't dare tell him that she was leaving soon.
That night, Lu Xi couldn't sleep. He woke up the next day with a fussy head. When he opened the door, he saw the mermaid standing outside. It seemed like he had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.
"…Good morning, Arsenal."
As soon as Lu Xi said hello, she was suddenly hugged by someone. The force was so strong that her back hit the wall. Fortunately, his hand was behind her, blocking some of the force for her.
"What's wrong, Asent?"
Lu Xi tried to push him away, but he held her so tightly that she couldn't even breathe smoothly.
"I knew it a long time ago." His dry voice sounded in her ears, "I must share it with that guy."
Lu Xi: “???”
"...Asent, have you changed your personality?" Lu Xi was not asking him, but speaking in a completely affirmative tone.
The mermaid hugged her in a depressed mood. In his memory, that personality snatched away his Miss Lu Xi, occupied Miss Lu Xi for many days, and also won her sympathy. He had known that the other party had ill intentions, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, "Ms. Lu Xi, if I drink the poison, can I kill that guy..."
Lu Xi: "..."Brother, your idea is very dangerous.
"No, you'll poison yourself too."
"What should I do?" He hugged her tightly, feeling helpless. He never expected that one day he would be jealous of her.
"Ms. Lu Xi, do you like him?"
The mermaid let go of Lu Xi slightly, looked into her eyes, hoping to hear the words "I don't like it" from her.
"Yeah, I like it."
As she spoke, the light in the merman's eyes dimmed a little bit. Lu Xi saw the change in him, but she couldn't lie, "Because he is also Arsenal. I like the complete Arsenal, no matter how many personalities he has."
"So, you like me too?"
"Um."
He held her hand, gently placed it against his cheek, and rubbed his face against the palm of her hand. That was enough, that was enough.
He will always be inseparable from that personality. If Miss Lu Xi hates one of them, she will definitely not be with him, so she will just share it with that guy reluctantly.
Lu Xi made another cake. She was very happy to have the chance to see this personality again before she left. She framed a few paper cranes on the cake. Although it was a bit difficult for her, it was worth it to see his happy expression.
"It smells so good." He stood in front of the cake.
"Do you like it?"
"Yeah." He liked everything made by Miss Lu Xi, and this cake was made specially for him.
"Asente, your birthday is coming soon. Do you have any birthday wishes?" Lu Xi asked him while eating cake. Maybe she could help him realize this wish.
"No wishes."
"How can there not be? There must be."
This question seemed to be very difficult for him. He thought about it for a long time, because he never made a wish, except...
"I hope to be with Miss Lu Xi forever."
The merman expressed his wish, but when Lu Xi heard this wish, the smile on his face faded a little.
"Any other wishes?" She forced a smile, her fingers holding the small piece of cake feeling a little cold.
"No."
The merman didn't feel her emotional changes. Compared to his other personality, he was still a little slow. "What about Miss Lu Xi? What is Miss Lu Xi's wish?"
"Me?" Lu Xi stared at the cake in her hand that had been scooped out of her, and muttered to herself, "Just like you."
When the mermaid heard her words, the corners of his mouth curled up.
