Prologue XXXIII

'Chocolate'

I don't know if the Klein family doesn't have the habit of making wishes on birthdays, at least I didn't see Lux make a wish (put her hands together), she just briefly asked Siegel for advice, and then blew out the candle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Lux then took the knife from Siegel and began to dismantle the double-layered cake.

Because the chocolate cake is not very large, it is not too much trouble for Lux to cut it, and she saw that the top layer of the cake has been cut into eight pieces after she divided it by two. Then Lux took out the plate from under the empty candle box, and served the chocolate cakes that had been divided one by one to Siegel, Pacrit, Renoa, Aslan, and others, and after they all thanked each other, Lux took a plate of cake for me and her.

"Kiki, give~"

"Thanks, Lux. ”

When I took the cake from Lux, I saw beads of sweat on Lux's forehead, so I reached out and wiped it off for Lux. Feeling my gentleness and thoughtfulness, Lux was not only moved, but also returned me with a bright smile. That smile is like a blooming flower, accompanied by a burst of spring sprinkled on my heart, making my heart more gentle and soft.

I don't know if Lux did it on purpose, but the cakes she handed to the Aslan family were all broken 'love' and 'Klein' on the surface, while the cake she handed to Siegel was a complete 'Klein', the cake she handed me was 'Lux', and her own cake was 'Odd'. When I saw the above distribution, I was surprised for a while, but when I saw the cake with the word 'Lux' printed in front of me, I no longer felt surprised, but had a hint of indescribable sweetness.

"Lux must have done it on purpose...... But it's not a bad feeling. ”

Maybe I'm the only one who can eat the cake with the name 'Lux' on it, but why?

Considering that this cake is made with 'chocolate', I didn't eat it directly with a fork, but cut out a small piece with a knife before putting it in my mouth with a fork. Although I had expected that the cost of making the 'chocolate' cake would not be cheap, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, and the rich sweet smell instantly conquered me, who loves sweets, and made me eat one bite after another, looking gray.

Aslan wasn't very interested in the chocolate-made cake Aslan, who didn't have a sweet tooth after all. But when Aslan saw me eagerly cutting and eating a piece, the thought came to his mind: "Look, this chocolate cake is really delicious?"

"Hmm...... Surprisingly delicious. ”

The chocolate had just been eaten, and the rich sweetness made Aslan, who rarely eats sweets, can't help but light up in his eyes. Aslan has not eaten chocolate, on Valentine's Day, Aslan tasted the Valentine's Day chocolate made by Renoa for Paklet, but the chocolate for some reason only has a pure bitter taste, that bitterness makes Aslan remember it vividly, so once compared, the chocolate in front of him naturally looks extremely delicious.

Compared with Aslan's eyes shining and then eating with relish, Pacritt's attitude was completely opposite. Not only did he furrow his thick sword eyebrows, but he also put the fork with the coffee-colored chocolate cake in his hand back on the plate, and then said, "Uh~ This chocolate is so sweet...... Siegel. ”

Hearing this, Siegel looked at Pakritt speechlessly, with a helpless expression on his resolute face, and muttered: "I said Pacrit, have you forgotten that this cake is for Lux and Strange, we are just a foil." After finishing speaking, Siegel still held his forehead with his hand, and his wordless appearance was even more prominent against the backdrop of this behavior.

"Okay, okay......"

Siegel's answer reminded Pacritt that the cake wasn't made for himself by Renoa, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied.

Pacritt and Siegel's conversation reminded Aslan of why Renoa's chocolates were bitter. The reason is simple, because Pakrit doesn't like sweets, especially sweet chocolate. Compared with sweet chocolate, Pacrit prefers bitter chocolate, according to the grapevine accidentally revealed by Renoah, the reason why Renoah and Pacrit can get together is also because of this bitter Valentine's Day chocolate.

"Because...... Life can only enjoy sweetness after tasting bitterness. ”

The above sentence is the words spoken by Renoah when Aslan asks Renoah why chocolate is bitter, and Renoah imitates Pakrit's tone. Now that Aslan thinks about it carefully, he also feels that it is very practical, and it is precisely because of the bitterness before that he will feel sweeter and more delicious when he eats sweet things at this time.

"By the way, Siegel, why don't I think this chocolate is like you made it yourself?"

Renoa, who is a very skilled cook, is naturally extraordinary in tasting dishes, and after just a sip, Renoah knows that this chocolate is absolutely impossible to be made by Siegel herself, because she has tasted Siegel's homemade chocolate. In fact, Siegel doesn't even know how to make chocolate, and Renoah still remembers that when the Plant was first built, she had the privilege of witnessing Siegel's chocolate-making process. Well, I don't want to mention the production process, but the result is that the chocolate has become a burnt paste, and the burnt smell can be smelled even ten meters away, which shows how bad Seagal's cooking skills are.

"Uh...... Of course, it wasn't something I did. "Actually, the materials for it were all made by Alice, and I just poured it into the model that had already been made, so that it cooled, solidified, and then molded. Siegel didn't shy away from the fact that the materials were not purchased by himself, and even briefly explained the process of making them. However, after a pause, Siegel added: "Of course, I personally wrote about Lux and Strange and Love, and it took me about half an hour." ”

Hearing this, Lux and I couldn't help but smile at each other.

Although it seems that making a cake is just a few simple steps when we hear Siegel mention it, we all know that there must be something that Siegel has put into it, such as the shape of the cake, the words on the surface of the cake, and so on. For Siegel's statement, Renoah naturally won't pick any more thorns, after all, she also knows that it is a very rare thing for Siegel to find time to write and draw a few words.

So, after some small talk and laughter, and chatting about ugly things, the time gradually approached half past nine in the evening.

When the atmosphere cooled down slightly, Pacritt raised his hand and looked at the clock on his wrist, and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to half past nine, so he raised his head and said: "It's not early, Qi has experienced so many things today, and he is already very tired when he thinks about it, so we won't bother much, let's meet again another day." Hearing Pakritt say this, Siegel couldn't help but look down at the watch in his hand, and seeing that it was indeed not early, he nodded in agreement: "Well, it's a little late, and it's time to leave." So, let's take your family to the door of the hotel," Siegel stood up first.

"Well, then I'm sorry for you, Siegel, Lux, and Strange. ”

Pakritt didn't shy away from Seagal's kindness, and after nodding with a smile on his face, he also stood up and pulled out chairs for Renoah and Aslan. As for Lux and I, we were already on our feet when we heard Siegel say that we were going to take Aslan's family to the door of the hotel. After hearing Parklee's nod of approval, Lux shouted "Tell the room staff to clean up the table...... and then took the initiative to pull me out of the dining room and towards the living room.

The living room is not far from the dining room, so after a while we were in the living room. Under my puzzled gaze, Lux took a few steps to a coffee table, she reached out and picked up the landline phone placed on the coffee table, clicked on the dial a few times, and then said two words, and then hung up the phone and returned to me.

"The service items of the Klein Hotel are very thoughtful, for example, if Kiki doesn't want to clean up the leftovers on the table by himself, he can directly call the hotel's customer service hotline and let the customer service staff come to clean up. As he spoke, when Lux saw my sudden expression, he chuckled and said, "Of course, because we are relatively special, the service staff will naturally serve us as quickly as possible." Well, when the waiter comes in to pack these things, there will be a security guard with him/her, so as not to do something inappropriate and affect our safety. The second half of Lux's sentence made me nod my head and praise: "It's the right thing to do, after all, even if they are the service staff at the Klein Hotel, there is no guarantee that they will not harm people's hearts." ”

In just a few words, we were back at the entrance of the restaurant. Siegel, Paklett and the others were already waiting here, and when they saw us coming, Siegel said hello and smiled, "Let's go." After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the red carpet that spread to the door.

ps: I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, so I don't have time to write......
