Chapter XXXVII: The Luncheon

Just as Ge Sheng wanted to know more about his mother's black history, Christie's soft trampling voice slowly came from behind him. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

"We had a great chat." Christie spoke softly behind her back, unable to hear the specific emotion, and Ge Sheng turned around to see Christie taking the black-glazed tea set from the celadon tray in his hand.

"Let's rinse our mouths first." With that, Christie placed three cups of blue tea in front of the three of them.

"I'm ready for my meal." The maroon-haired girl held the tray and said lightly, "Do you want to eat?" ”

"Of course." Noctor grinned, he stood up on his knees, reaching for the tray from Christie's hand, which his daughter quietly avoided.

She shook her head lightly: "Don't you are tired, come and eat?" ”

Ge Sheng lowered his head and carefully looked at the cup of tea in front of him that was still steaming, he tried to enter it, only to feel that it was fragrant, the temperature was moderate, and the aftertaste was sweet and astringent in the mouth, it was obviously a good tea, he naturally would not forget Christie's words "rinse your mouth first", but he still had an urge to swallow it in his stomach.

In Anning's education, there was never any teaching about rinsing one's mouth with tea before meals.

"Drink as much as you want." Christie said back, then turned and walked towards the restaurant.

Between the living room and the dining room, there is a long corridor, and through the corridor where various portraits and landscape portraits are hung, Ge Sheng sees the dining room of this black and white temple.

As Ge Sheng had expected, this restaurant was also a large dining room for family dinners, with three long, tall J-winged wood tables covered with snow-white tablecloths, apparently separating children, women and men according to their specifications and sizes, such an ancient and vulgar custom that had been extinct for more than hundreds of years, and Ge Sheng did not think that it might not be so long ago that the Clouft family continued it.

The reason for this speculation is that the furnishings here seem to have not changed for hundreds of years, and there is surprisingly not a single cloud of dust on the snow-white tablecloths.

"I started three years ago and stopped using it." Christie saw Ge Sheng paying attention to the three rows of tables and explained as he walked by, "You sit down first, and I'll serve the food." ”

As Christie departed, Gesheng was hesitating which table to make, when he saw that Noctor and Stella had taken their seats in the main seat, which was obviously the most honorable in the center, and they were seated on the left side of the main seat, leaving the chairman empty.

The two masters had already sat down, so he couldn't allow Ge Sheng to hesitate, so he had to sit on the right seat under the main seat, and just after sitting down for a while, he heard the sound of the dining car slowly coming.

When she came to the door, she raised her eyes and gently swept the seats of Ge Sheng and the three of them, the corners of her mouth slightly raised a slightly self-deprecating smile, and then hooked the door with her foot, calmly passed through the three people, and laid out four portions of tea, drinks, meals, and soup.

And then.

Christie pushed the dining cart away with one hand and sat down in the main seat indifferently and calmly.

Christie sat high on the top, she had already taken off her shiny white gown, and changed into a lilac gown, her lilac pupils had no emotion at all, just condescendingly and coldly stared at Ge Sheng and her parents, and then the corners of her mouth slowly overflowed with a bright and sad smile, and slowly read out the eulogy before the meal.

"Thank you to the gods of heaven and earth."

Ge Sheng left the Black and White Temple, with Christie.

The lunch was delicious, even beyond what Ge Sheng could comprehend, and it was only then that Ge Sheng really understood the room for improvement in Christie's proud and narcissistic words when he was in Aono Gensokyo.

No matter what the point of view, this lunch made by Christie is the most delicious thing Ge Sheng has tasted since he was born, whether it is tea, appetizers, dishes served, or the final soup, it is full of incredible dreams and surprises like the "candy" that Christie gave before.

But again, it was the most uncomfortable and embarrassing lunch in Ge Sheng's life.

He had never felt such a sad and awkward atmosphere. When Christie took her seat, no one at the table said a word, and the four of them were silently tasting the food in front of them, but even any food was a peerless delicacy that could overshadow all words, but it could not dilute the terrible and sad atmosphere of the scene.

When Ge Sheng drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl and looked up, he saw that Christie was already standing quietly in front of him, and then said, "Let's go." ”

While Ge Sheng stood up, Stella slowly turned her head, and her and Christie Cool Shaw's faces had a light expression: "Can you let him stay for a while, I want to talk to him more about An Ning." ”

Before Ge Sheng could answer, Christie had already smiled and simply replied for Ge Sheng, "No, dear mother." ”

Noctor and Stella didn't get up to see each other, they just sat in their seats and watched together as the backs of Ge Sheng and Christie slowly disappeared.

"Our daughter." Noct looked at the door where the figure had disappeared, and looked up at the ceiling, where the hard, heavy rock was covered with metal nets.

"Ann Ning's son." Stella smiled and looked at the northeast sky, even though it was thousands of feet above the ground.

"Did you know that Tina has such a good craft?" Noctor looked back at his wife.

"How dare she let us know?" Stella smiled, lowered her head and bit her lip gently, then raised her head and looked at her husband, her voice trembling slightly: "If you knew that we would give birth to such a terrible monster, would you have let her be born in the first place?" ”

Noctor smiled and stared at Stella: "You have the answer yourself, why are you asking me?" ”

"The obsession of that old monster finally gave birth to an even more outstanding and terrifying monster like our daughter, but he also died for it, and he didn't even know that his long-cherished wish had really come true, and every time I thought of this, I had a heartfelt revenge."

"The only thing I regret is why she was born into our child."

Noct said this, he was such a handsome man, but his tone changed from a flat smile to a deep remorse.

"If we had found out earlier."

Stella looked at her husband, who was a little emotionally out of control, and thought for a long time before she slowly said a word.

"Do you regret it?"

"I never have."

"Everything, I, Stella Croft, have never regretted what I did."
