Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 69 Jealousy

It was just time to finish dinner, so there were some people walking in the cloister and the gardens on both sides, and Appaia was particularly conspicuous in the cloister with Rheins walking briskly.

"We just didn't care about the time when we were careless."

The silver-haired mercenary explained softly, but it didn't seem to be accepted by the other party. The blonde engineer didn't speak, just pulled her on. Reins pouted slightly, deciding to break the deadlock in a different way.

"Apaya, you're walking too fast." She tugged at his hand and stood still, "We've been brainstorming all afternoon, and we haven't eaten yet, I'm so tired now." ”

This made Apaya pause, and Reins breathed a sigh of relief, and she smiled as she looked at the other man's face that had finally turned to face hers.

"How about you call me the next time we have a meeting?" She walked over to Apaya's side and took his arm, "All of us are so focused on other things that we don't have time to pay attention to time. ”

Apaya looked at her for a moment, then sighed.

"Isn't there a way for you to remind yourself?" He took another step, but this time his pace slowed significantly, "You have a lot of tricks, and I don't think you're the one to care about them and not take a chance." ”

"But anyway, you're one of Morfi, Apaya." After Rhines said mildly, she changed the subject, "You can't be that you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Hearing her previous words, Apaya was silent for a moment, then continued with her topic.

"Not yet, just in time to go with you."

Reins looked up at the side of his face, her red eyes blinking in confusion.

"Apaya, are you supposed to be waiting in the conference room before dinner?"

The other party didn't look at her, just hummed softly.

The silver-haired woman let out a slight sigh and rested her head gently on Apaya's shoulder.

“…… Nothing else to say? ”

Lynes looked up in confusion, and those light brown eyes were looking at her for a moment.

"What's wrong? If it's about the content of the meeting, because it hasn't been decided in the end, it's more trivial, and I originally wanted to wait for Shao to finish sorting it out before I tell you. ”

But Apaya's expression made it clear that it wasn't the case at all, which made her feel even more dazed.

What else could it be?

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk about it later."

Appaia changed the subject, and Reins could only follow him in confusion.

By the time they finally sat down, there were still a few people scattered around the dining area.

Lillian's impatient face was rude, but she rudely dragged Ilo to pick out the food, which made the latter smile silly again.

"I'm underestimating Ganillo." Reins looked at the two men, and then took a slow sip of the soup, "In the past, Leanne would use something else as a shield for her actions, but now I don't care at all. ”

"Iroh is quite a persistent person." Hua Shao commented, "And what Ilo has always valued most is Lilian...... In order to find her, I did a lot of things that made people jealous. ”

Rheins had heard some of what he had done, but she was noncommittal.

"A fool who does this kind of thing will only make others think badly of Leanne."

"With Lillian here, he probably won't do anything like that again, right?" Hua Shao smiled and said, "I heard that he seemed to be ...... last time Got a big bouquet of Orias for Lillian? And the 9 colors are complete, and they are delivered directly to Fili's station. ”

At that time, it was arguably the biggest dilemma of Lillian's life - all Fili surrounded her, looked at her, and then looked at the bouquet of flowers, which almost forced Lillian to turn her face.

However, it was not only Ilo's own handiwork, Ilo had privately asked Leynes about Lillian's preferences and so on, and this idea was the brainchild of Rhine.

…… As for whether she was kind or simply wanted to see Lillian mess up, that was her business.

Who's to say she has to give the right advice? She hadn't accepted Ilo Ganillo to stand by Lillian's side until now, but Lillian herself was willing to stay with him, so she didn't care.

"Leanne is sooner or later." Rhines muttered, "Don't remember to eat or ......"

Hua Shao blinked, deciding not to say anything good about his colleagues again, otherwise the mercenary in front of him would definitely be disgusted with him.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to talk to you about Iori."

The brunette woman's words made Reins look at her suspiciously, and it took her a moment to remember who she was talking about.

"What? Could it be that you want to help him explain what happened to him when he abandoned Ella and them? Reins smirked, "But how can Mr. Ionri explain the matter of Ganillo if it can be said that he was young and ignorant and gullible at that time?" Even if you want to help someone else – don't go too far. ”

Reinse's tone made the atmosphere at the dinner table solemn for a moment.

"How did you get to that?" Hua Shao sighed softly, her gentle voice softened the stiff air, "I don't want to say anything nice about him, but like you said, Iori is also a member of the Wright family, and I always want to say something we know......"

Hua Shao paused, then raised a helpless smile.

"As far as I know, Iori was also trying to explain it himself...... But he felt that he was making excuses for himself, so he wanted to get Ella's forgiveness before he could say it. ”

"If that's the case, then you should respect your subordinates' ideas, shouldn't you?" Reins stabbed her lightly, and then pursed her mouth, "Okay, you say, I know that since you say it, then you always have a way to convince me to listen to what you say." ”

Hua Shao showed a satisfied smile, and then got to the point.

"Really...... Doesn't knowing these things make me wonder whether I should tell Ella or not? ”

Back in Apaya's room, Reins stretched and moved her shoulders. She walked to the window, poked her head out to look at the stars and moon in the sky, and then turned back to look at the man standing not far from her.

"So what did you not say before?" She simply turned her body around, leaned her back against the window, and yawned with her hands over her mouth, while Apaya slowly walked over to her, reaching out to close the window.

"You're not afraid of the cold."

After he said something casually, he took her by the shoulder and led her away from the window. Reins tilted her head to look at his face, and judging by his behavior, he wasn't trying to say anything serious.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked, "There's nothing you can't tell you if you're so secretive." ”

Apaya pursed his lips, his expression looking a little displeased, but it wasn't for Rhine...... In fact, more like something dissatisfied with himself.

"It's not a big deal." He muttered something out of his throat, then he frowned, allowing himself to look directly at the woman beside him, "You spent an afternoon with Hermiria. ”

Reins blinked, then leaned in front of Apaya's face to stare at him, giving the latter an unnatural look.

"Are you jealous?"

"Of course." Apaya quickly got rid of her embarrassment and looked at her with dignity, "The time he came before already made me very unhappy, but this time I actually asked you to go over to meet him in person, and it will take so much of your time, of course I have to mind." ”

"But we're not there alone." Rhines said innocently, "There are so many others......

"That's not going to work either." Apaya said dryly, "I don't like the way he looks at you, and I don't like him being close to you. ”

The silver-haired woman couldn't help but laugh, which made the other person look at her suspiciously.

"I remembered the previous ...... Although I knew that you didn't want to see him, I thought it was because he gave too much to Shao that made you unhappy. She couldn't help but tilt her head and laugh out loud, "I didn't expect it to be because of ......."

She had never seriously thought about when the other person started liking her, and she hadn't cared before.

Although sometimes she does want to know, she doesn't feel the need to get to the bottom of it.

The scene in front of her suddenly changed perspective, and she was suddenly dragged down on the bed, and the breath of the person next to her covered her.

"Don't stay with him by yourself anyway." He muttered quietly, "If you want to find him, you want me to accompany you......"

Apaya thought for a moment, and then continued: "If I go to Shao in the future, then I will let you go with me again." ”

Angry and funny, Reines reached out and tapped him on the forehead.

"What is this, an equivalent exchange?" Under the other party's accusatory eyes, she helplessly reached out and rubbed the position where he had been knocked just now, "I'm not an alchemist, why are you still playing this set......"

Looking at his still unrelenting eyes, she gently slid her hand to his cheek.

"Anyway, when Youziruo is here, Hemiria doesn't even dare to talk nonsense." She chuckled, "Ciruo's temper is explosive." ”

Apaya's look of confusion made Reins look at him suspiciously.

"Who is Ciruo?"

"......" Reins looked at him speechlessly, that girl's sense of existence should be as strong as the sun at all times, how could it be ignored by the person in front of her? The child who brought the correct box to Hermiria when he was retrieving the Gift. ”

His expression looked like a memory, but in the end he didn't have a clear impression of it.

"I don't remember exactly." He shook his head, "I just remember someone brought him a box...... I hadn't seen them much in those days, and I was waiting for your reaction at that time, and I didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else. ”

Reinth's eyes widened slightly, and then she remembered that she had told Apaya about her past and concerns, and that she had been so absorbed in her own thoughts that she hadn't even seen off Smofa and Zruo when they left.

"Then you can see her in the next few days." She smiled softly and said, "She's coming with Hermiria this time, and the kid is very delightful...... She was only more unkind to Hermiria. ”

"Even if she could take care of Hermiriana......"

"Actually, it's not just because he cares about him, he won't be willing to do something inexplicable to make him sad."

The words made Apaya raise an eyebrow to look at her, and she looked straight back at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"What is their relationship?"

"Hermiria is Tshiro's boyfriend, I thought you knew." She said innocently, "After all, everyone else knows this." ”

Apaya now realized how often Lilian grinded her teeth when she faced her.

"Aren't you proud to see me jealous there?"

The red eyes looked away.

"How could it be, I really didn't expect you to know about this, Yura knew it the first time she saw Ciruo, who knew you were so slow-"

The blonde man, who was provoked to the point that he couldn't bear it anymore, finally gags her mouth.
