Chapter 7 Happiness

"Well, that's capable. Looks like I've really found you a very reliable 'sister'. Casually looking at the decoration in the room, Gianna was wearing a velvet coat, the khaki hue looked extra warm in the sunlight, perhaps in this era of economic depression, such exotic beauties are not common, two high school boys who had just finished school left a stunning glimpse here, but such beauty only brought them a foul smell of sludge. With the corner of her eye, she watched the two teenagers reluctantly leave here, Gianna gently pulled the long hair of her sideburns, the long golden hair was softly draped over her shoulders, she turned her gaze and looked at Zhao Mian on the side - he was using his own shoddy methods to spoil a can of expensive alpine coffee, "Should I ask her to clean my room for me in the next class?"

"I think that just because I'm good at tidying up my housework doesn't mean I'm good at tidying up my alchemy lab. Zhao Mian was angry and gently stirred the coffee in the cup in his hand with a spoon, the coffee beans that had just been ground out by hand exuded a natural scent, and the coffee that was much thicker than the water gently rippled slightly, and then Zhao Mian handed the coffee over, "Come, guest, the coffee you ordered." ”

"Xie, Xie, service, life!" said these words word by word, Gianna casually took the coffee handed over by Zhao Mian, but she didn't taste the cup of coffee right away, but continued, "Besides, that's my room! It's not an alchemy laboratory! Even the most confused mage wouldn't put himself in the middle of a large pile of experimental works that could explode." ”

"I don't think there's much difference in that. Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then poured himself a cup of coffee, took a small sip, smacked his lips and continued, "I don't remember how many times I saw you sleeping in your laboratory, and there is almost the same probability that you used a dresser in your bedroom to do alchemy experiments. ”

"That's because you reckless man with only muscles in his head can't understand the mysteries of the arcane, and you can't know that the inspiration in that moment is even comparable to half a year's training - oh, I have to admit, at least when it comes to increasing our size, we are not as convenient as you. She delicately pinched the ear of the coffee cup with her thumb and forefinger and moved it to her mouth, still not stopping the words in her mouth in the process, and then, as if she wanted to moisten her throat, she took a sip of the coffee in front of her, "Uh-shit! bastard! Why are you so bitter, what the hell are you doing with these coffee beans!" Reluctantly swallowed the coffee in her mouth, Gianna angrily put the coffee cup in her hand on the windowsill next to her, and then took out her silk towel to wipe the coffee at the corner of her mouth.

"Because it's black coffee, not to mention that I'll continue to renovate the basement here at night, I deliberately put more coffee powder, and it naturally tastes very bitter. Zhao Mian drank most of the cup of coffee that was still steaming in his hand in one go, and the hot water did not bring him any harm, as if it was just a small cup of cold spring water, "If you don't think it tastes good, there is milk and sugar cubes in the kitchen refrigerator that you just bought - of course, you can also choose to make another pot of coffee yourself." ”

"Hmm. Frowning tightly, Gianna stared at the coffee in her hand for a long time, and then sighed helplessly, a little arcane light flashed on her fingertips, as if in response, the door of the refrigerator in the kitchen not far away seemed to be opened by an invisible hand, and the carton of milk and the two sugar cubes placed behind the cabinet door floated lightly in the air, and then flew straight towards Gianna," Say, according to your habit, it's absolutely impossible to notify me because of something as boring as moving to a new house, so you should have other things. Gianna said as she gently adjusted her coffee.

"Well, it's not too complicated. Zhao Mian put the empty cup that had been drunk back on the coffee table in his hand and said, "But it's really not within the scope of my expertise, so I'm just going to discuss it with you." First of all, you also saw the teleportation circle in the basement, although I relied on rote memorization to memorize the appearance of the circle, and the Holy Light blessed the successful construction of the portal, but I don't know what is going on inside, so I will trouble you, a senior mage, to check it out. ”

"It's really not a very troublesome thing, and there is no big problem with that magic circle when you come over, so it's okay to help you debug it. After taking a sip of her own coffee, Gianna nodded with satisfaction, and the carton of milk floating around him turned around and flew back into the refrigerator, and then the refrigerator door closed on its own, "But since you said first, then there must be a second - say it and listen." ”

"The second thing-" Zhao Mian hesitated for a moment and organized his language, "Actually, I plan to find something to do, but I don't have much clue, so I plan to discuss it with someone, and since I want to ask you to adjust the magic circle, I will discuss this matter with you by the way." ”

"What?" Looking Zhao Mian up and down, as if looking at a singing frog, Gianna asked with a strange expression, "Doesn't nothingness not only invade your body, but also interfere with your thinking?

"Please don't say as if I don't have my own property, but I pay the full amount of taxes every year - do you know what Raven Ridge is, do you think it will provide me with income? Zhao Mian sighed and said, "But it's not a happy business, it's just boredom and full use of resources." I didn't intend to hide it from you, and you found out, my injuries right now. ”

"I don't know how you were hurt - I don't want to, but if you can hurt your reckless man like this, and send him back into nothingness, I guess that attack won't be much weaker. Gianna waved her hand casually, and the single sofa next to her fell behind her, "But it's not the first time you've suffered this kind of injury, although this time it's more serious, but that's all." The energy in the air of this world is only higher than that of worlds where no abilities exist, and there is no way to threaten your targets in such a place - well, it is indeed a good place to heal, and it is thanks to the fact that you can find it quickly. ”

"But it's also a blessing thanks to the power of the void in the body, and the consciousness of this world doesn't dare to do anything to me for the time being, so before the injury heals, this side can be considered stable. Zhao Mian shrugged, "But you know, recuperating from injuries is a very, very boring thing, and I can't stay in my room every day and watch TV." So I'm going to find something for myself to do. As you saw just now, although this house occupies a lot of space, there is not much private space, and there is a large garden and a storefront near the street, if I can use it, at least I have something to do in the past few years of recuperation. Internal injuries like this, but ......"

"So, let's open a café. Unceremoniously interrupted Zhao Mian's words, Gianna said categorically, "Let's open a café, cultivate self-cultivation, cultivate sentiment, and pay attention to the time period, hiring some employees will not be tiring." So let's open a café. ”

Zhao Mian was silent and thought for a while, "What about the truth?"

"In order not to drink this bitter poor coffee and those even more bitter teas in the future!" said Gianna unconcernedly.
