"Demos..."

A shallow call seemed to awaken from a slumber and drew Demos's gaze back to the coral bed on the shore.

Kareta had already opened her eyes, looking a little tired.

"You've finally woken up Sleeping Beauty......"

Demos crouched down close to her face, deliberately suppressing his unusually excited joy. Grabbing one of her hands, he spoke softly.

“...... Hi, are you okay?"

She looked at him intently with a gurgling smile, and the smile was still as beautiful and intoxicating as ever. The eyes that became clear were the images of his handsome face, and his expression was no longer anxious, no longer sad, all filled with warmth.

"I'm fine, very good. You're lazy princess, you've really slept too long......."

Dialogues with true feelings don't need much embellishment, and no matter how simple and straightforward they are, they will achieve a wonderful and gorgeous effect. Because of the time they once fought side by side, the relationship between Demos and Carette has changed dramatically, becoming no longer hostile, and more like a pair of old friends who have been dating for many years and have a tacit understanding with each other.

——

Halfway back to Athens, Demos uses a spell to change him and Carreta into new clothes.

Grand Bretagne stood in front of him, and he and she stopped almost at the same time. Standing in front of the steps, his body leaned back and forth against her.

"Hmm..."

Kareta was extremely embarrassed, instinctively sensing that Demos was approaching her lips, and with a fiery male aura, she hurriedly lowered her head to dodge.

“... Thank you...... Get me back. ”

"I don't want to hear those words of thanks...... Karete, I still miss the kiss you gave me when we joined forces in the naval battle, and I will always remember your words. You said you had me in your heart, didn't you?"

“...... Forget about it. We're back in the real world, aren't we?"

Carreta knew that Demos would not give up, so she took the lead and shattered all his illusions. However, at this time, when her attitude cooled down, she actually had an indescribable astringency in her heart. Could it be that the pain is the condemnation of one's own duplicity in one's heart, and is it a punishment for oneself in deceiving others and ultimately deceiving oneself?

Demos was a little surprised, surprised at how Carret's enthusiasm had faded so quickly.

"Karete—"

The sound came from the high stone steps. Jose's pace was like a meteor catching the moon, rushing between Carette and Demos.

"You...... Why are you here?"

Carette was surprised.

"I've been coming to the hotel every day since I got back to land with Bai Xiu. One is that Bai Xiu's injury needs someone to take care of it, and the other is also waiting for your news. ”

Jose smiled at her, and the expression on his face did not show that there was not much surprise and excitement, and he was still gentle as before. When he turned his gaze to Demos, his overly calm demeanor was more of a complete coldness and disgust. His eyes were very sharp, and he seemed to be keeping an eye on every movement of Demos.

"Thank you, senior, for saving Karete. I'll be sure to come to the door another day to thank you in person. ”

"No need. ”

How could Demos not feel Jose's hatred for him, and he also responded with a symbolic politeness.

"So, take your leave. ”

Demos looked at Carette again, then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute! Demos ......"

Carette chased after him two steps, and when he stopped, she stopped talking.

"I know what you're trying to say. Don't worry, I'll explain that. I'll contact you in a few days at your convenience. ”

"Good ......"

From the look on Demos's face, Solemn Carreta understood what he meant by "that thing", so she nodded to him emphatically, and then followed José up a series of steps and into the glass door of the lobby.

This time, Chang Demos silently watched the couple's figure disappear into a corner of the hotel lobby. He felt very lost, and let out a long sigh from his mouth.

I almost forgot he existed. He is the root cause of your reversal of attitude towards me. I suddenly miss very much, I miss the end of the earth, the only paradise where I can be alone with you-

Karete, I tried my best to save you, why did I send you into another man's arms with my own hands? What is this? Is it a love affair between you and me, or a love affair between you and me—

Frustrated and unwilling, Demos used "spatial teleportation" to appear in his painting studio in the blink of an eye. Standing in a studio, he realized that the portrait of the blessed goddess had missed the date he had agreed with his employer.

It's over, and now I offended a "God" again, and I have to pay a considerable amount of contract liquidated damages.

That said, Demos was unimpressed.

A familiar smell of mellow heat rushed into Demos's nostrils, and the smell came from the kitchen bar, the same mellow coffee that his faithful attendant Noah had brewed.

Great, everybody's safe and sound—

The haze in Demos's heart was finally dispelled by the fragrant smell, and he laughed out loud with joy.

...

The story of the sea is nearing its end, and when sin is removed, it has regained its former harmony and solemnity.

Whenever the tide rises on the night, the people who sail will hear the sound of a spiral coming from the sea, like a whining whistle, clear or faintly continuous, like a song like a complaint, that is the mermaid prince Terry sings when he is thinking of his distant relatives and lovers-

——

Every afternoon, José goes to Carette's hotel room to deliver delicious and nutritious soup to his girlfriend.

"What is it today?"

At five o'clock in the evening, José appeared punctually with greetings. As soon as he came in, he put down the thermos bucket he was carrying, and Kareta was not polite, and reached up and reached out to lift the lid of the thermos.

"Gluttonous cat hits!"

José's eyes were sharp, and he gently slapped Carret's cat's paw back.

"Here and here, I've come all the way and there's no reward......

He pointed to his mouth at her.

Carette grinned and tiptoed a quick kiss on Jose's lips, then looked back at the bucket on the table.

"No, it's too perfunctory, this can't count!"

"Inner, Aoba~" (Brother...... ）

Kareta protested in a coquettish tone by bringing out a Korean phrase she had learned from Korean dramas, and then kissed her again with shame.

As soon as she touched José's lips, her whole body was hugged tightly by him, and he kissed her hard, long and hard.

"Like this, it's considered passable!"

The wet kiss lasted for a while before José let go of Karete.

"Really, just to drink a sip of soup from you, I actually have to lose my body and sell my hue ......"

Kareta frowned and pursed her cherry mouth.

"Hey, just kiss it, how can you lose your body...... However, when you're completely well, we can give it a try......"

José's expression became ambiguous, and he stretched out two hands, ten fingers moving flexibly, and smirked in front of Karete's eyes.

Carette forced a laugh that was about to erupt, blushing and twisting her head to the side, ignoring him.

"So baby, for our happiness, you must get better quickly, and now hurry up and drink the soup. ”

Jose had enough of making a fuss and unscrewed the lid of the thermos with his own hands.

A special aroma emanates from the shiny stainless steel liner, and the milky soup with oil flowers lies quietly in the container. The thick juice was wrapped in white mushrooms, black fungus, red wolfberries, and several other ingredients that Carette could not name, and the appearance was fat and sweet, which made her appetite immediately whett.

José served some of the bowls in a thermos bucket and brought them to Carette, who immediately took the first bite.

It's hard to describe this delicious taste in words, the meat is thick and faintly scented with herbaceous herbs, and when you swallow it, you will have a long silky fragrance between your lips and teeth.

"Wow, what kind of soup is this time?"

Carette took a few more sips before asking José.

"Black chicken hundred medicine soup, give you blood replenishment. ”

"Jose, I'm all right, you don't have to boil the soup for me anymore......"

Kareta stopped as she drank her spoon, a little uneasy.

She lives in Greece, where many of the ingredients for soup are not available locally, and it is all up to Jose's family in China to ship here by international express, and in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, the shipping fee is naturally expensive.

"You've only been drinking for three days, and you'll only get results if you keep drinking. Rest assured, my mom is a southerner, and she has a lot of ancestral recipes and recipes for different ailments. Believe me, it's going to take a while. ”

José is right. He was born in the heart of China, the flower of the motherland who grew up at the foot of the imperial city, his father was an authentic northern native, and his mother was a gentle and virtuous southern girl. Southerners are good at drinking soup, and they can't live without soup for three meals a day, so most of the southerners, both men and women, maintain their skin and good figure. And if you are good at drinking soup, you will first make soup.

Take the current dish of Carette as an example, take the whole piece of fresh black chicken and boil it through boiling water, blanch the blood, and put it in a stew pot with soaked mushrooms, fungus, bamboo shoots, red dates and ginger slices to stew for a morning.

Because it is a dietary prescription to improve qi and replenish blood, angelica, astragalus, rehman, wolfberry and Chinese yam are also added to this soup.

I also heard that it was for the future foreign daughter-in-law, so Jose's mother specially sent a few more Dalian sea cucumbers, so in today's black chicken soup, Jose added a sea cucumber to it.

"I really don't need to! Even though it's only been three days, it has cost you and your family a lot of money, and I'll be upset if I do it again. ”

After all, Kareta was sincere, and finally couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Don't worry about that. You're a girl, and money shouldn't be a girl's concern. You can enjoy your soup and take care of your body with peace of mind, not for yourself. ”

José spoke and poured another bowl for Carret.

“...... Thank you for being so nice to me and your parents. ”

"Repay us with practical actions! When you are well, hurry up and go home with me to meet your parents, repay me with your body, and give birth to a mixed-race elf to repay my parents, hehe......"

Jose talked and laughed freely, and in the end, he smirked, very intoxicated by the dream he had weaved, not realizing that in the eyes of ordinary people, the most ordinary future plan, now seemed to be a "dream" that was really out of reach for Kareta, a Titan god with a special identity!

"Hmm...... Good ......"

Jose touched the sensitive nerves again, her expression changed slightly, and she frowned worriedly.
