"What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Anne looked at the people around her, including Diego, who all had strange looks in their eyes.

"It's nothing, let's go inside and talk. With a wave of his hand, Diego walked into the back hall.

"Is it okay if no one in the store is looking?" asked Vera.

"It's okay, I have a clerk, he just went out and will be back soon. Diego waved indifferently.

"And I'm basically a regular customer here, so I won't have a problem. ”

"That's good. Vera nodded and followed, followed by Anne and Anne, occasionally pulling out snacks and stuffing them into Nina.

Liu Ye looked at Anne in amazement the whole time, she didn't expect her sister to like children so much.

..........

"Looks like you're doing well, too?" asked Vera, sitting on the couch in the reception room, looking around.

"Fortunately, I wrote a few books a few years ago, sold them for a lot of money, and then opened the bookstore here. Diego touched his big bald head in embarrassment.

Anne was stunned for a moment, how does this big bald head not look like a poet, and he still writes books?

"Sister, you've lost!" Anne slipped through the effort, and lost a game with little Lori rock-paper-scissors, and then Anne handed over a large piece of pop candy.

Little Lori took the podfoil and stuffed it into a small package beside her, and then looked at Anne with wide eyes.

"Let me introduce you, this is the shield battle in our mercenary group at that time, it is quite reliable, and it has a good temper. Vera patted Diego on the arm and introduced them to the two.

"I'm a bard now, and I've not been fighting and killing for a long time. Diego smiled and shook the bard's robe, which looked like a straitjacket at all times.

"Daddy lied, Daddy was still wiping his shield yesterday. Little Lori took the pop candy given by Anne in her mouth, and then ruthlessly exposed Diego.

"Is this your daughter?" Anne touched Nina's head and looked at Diego with a helpless expression.

"Of course, you see how much we look alike. Diego picked up Nina and rubbed her face with his stubble-covered chin, and little Lori laughed coquettishly.

"What's the like?" said in unison, jokingly, this girl is not at all as good as this gorilla-like guy.

"Uh......" Diego was stunned, racking his brains to look like this kid was like him, and then saw little Lori's hair.

"Nina's hair is exactly the same color as mine. ”

"Hair?" the group looked at Diego's reflective head.

"I used to have hair. Diego laughed dryly and rubbed his bald head, making a glass-wiping sound.

"Yes......" Several people looked skeptical.

"What am I lying to you for?" Diego looked aggrieved.

"Hahaha......." The room burst into laughter in an instant.

"These two are my students, Anne and Willow Leaf. Vera continued to introduce Diego.

"Hello. Diego nodded, but Anne was keenly aware that Diego's eyes were on Vera when he said his name, and it stands to reason that he should not know who Anne was.

"Nina, come here, I've got better candy here. Anne beckoned to little Lori, then pulled out a piece of chocolate in her left hand and a packet of potato chips in her right hand.

"Here we are. Little Lori broke free from her father's arms and ran to Anne.

"She likes your Nina very much. Vera looked at Diego with a smile.

"Of course, my Nina is very popular. Diego patted his chest, thumping and pride.

.............

"Come, come, taste the good wine I've been hiding for years. Diego walked up from under the cellar with a vat on his back.

Originally, Anne and the others planned to eat out, but Diego insisted on leaving a few people at home for dinner.

"You're a good friend....... "Anne picked up a piece .......with a fork and looked very appetizing, it was vegetables, which were entirely made by Diego.

"It doesn't match his appearance, but he has a pretty good way of preparing the ingredients, and he has a very careful heart, and he likes the things of the bards, and he has a good temper. Vera took a bite and looked nostalgic.

"It's ok. Anne also tasted it and gave a relatively high evaluation.

Anne sat next to Nina, he was very cute little Lori, and when he was on Earth, he felt that it was easier for children to get along with than adults, because most of the children were very simple.

"What the is the child?" Anne asked when she saw that Diego had already sat down to eat, and that there were only five of them at the table.

Diego's hand pouring wine paused, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, and little Lori's mood also fell, hanging her head, Anne quickly touched her head.

"Her mother was just an ordinary person who passed away a few years ago due to illness. Diego drained the wine from his glass in one gulp, his voice a little muffled.

"I'm sorry......," Vera whispered.

"It's okay, you don't know, I'm used to it, and I still have Nina. Diego looked at Nina beside Anne.

"Come, come, eat, I haven't cooked so many dishes in a long time, see if the taste has changed?" Diego rubbed his big bald head, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Of course it hasn't changed, it's still the same taste. Vera smiled and clinked glasses with Diego.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you. Anne patted Nina, who was gobbling up.

"Dad's cooking today is delicious, I've never eaten it before. Nina grabbed a chicken leg and ate it with her mouth oily.

"Didn't you before?" said Anne seemed to smell something unusual.

"No, there are a lot of dishes I haven't seen before, and I only went to buy them this morning. Little Lori didn't make a lot of noise, and Vera and Diego were chatting happily, not paying attention to this side at all.

"That's right...... Has your dad received any letters or anything late?" asked Anne.

"Yes, yes, I received a magic letter yesterday afternoon, or the urgent kind, Dad looks very happy, and he made a few more dishes last night. "Little Lori has a super high opinion of Anne, and it can be said that she has to answer all questions.

"Interesting...... Anne rubbed little Lori's head and looked at Diego over there, gossip burning in her eyes again.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?" Sitting on the other side, Liu Ye heard Anne muttering, and leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"I've just discovered something super interesting, but I'm missing a clue, I'll tell you when I have one. Anne whispered in Willow's ear, then pointed at Vera under the table.

"That's right......." Liu Ye nodded as if he didn't understand.

Dinner lasted for more than an hour, basically Vera and Diego were chatting, Diego was older than Vera, like a big brother with a sister who married thousands of miles away, from Vera left the mercenary group to the present, even at the beginning, Vera was the most cared for.

After eating, the few people chatted for a while, and then they made an appointment to walk around the town tomorrow, and Anne left a lot of snacks for Nina, and the few went back to the hotel where they stayed.

"Looks like you're very popular. Anne saw that Vera was a little distracted all the way, and when she entered the house, she ran to the balcony to blow the wind, and she came over.

"Really?" Vera tilted her head to look at Anne, then continued to look at the moon in the sky.

"It feels like you're on good terms with each of them, but why are you separated?" Anne leaned on the railing, looking at the town that was gradually quieting down, and her voice was low, as if talking to herself.

"I don't know...... Vera sighed softly and let her hair go down, the breeze blowing, and the light blue strands shimmered in the moonlight.

"On the day I ascended to the sixth order, we were going to have a good celebration......."

"How long ago was that?" Anne interrupted Vera abruptly.

"Ah?...... It was about 20 years ago. Vera didn't understand what Anne was asking for.

"You go on......." Anne waved her hand, and said to herself, how old is this young lady?

"As a result, after that day, somehow, the relationship between the several of them got worse and worse, and finally they had a big fight, and even a big fight, it was Zedin and Diego, and soon after that, we decided to disband the mercenary group after discussion, and we occasionally contacted each other in the next few years, and after a few years, we changed places, and we rarely contacted again......" Vera's tone was a little low, after all, these memories were not worth being happy for her.

"What rank were they twenty years ago?" Anne asked again, a somewhat incoherent topic.

"It's probably around the beginning of the fifth order, the head of the regiment is a little higher, the middle of the fifth order, and the peak of the fourth order, why are you asking this?" Vera was a little puzzled, Anne was so strange today.

"It's nothing...... Anne shook her head, watching Vera be silent for a few seconds, then patting her on the shoulder and walking into the room.

"Are you really popular......" Before leaving, Anne lightly dropped a sentence, Vera was confused, but she didn't pay attention, and after a while she returned to her room.

"Ye Zi-chan, what do you mean to call a partner?" Anne walked into the bedroom and found that Liu Ye was lying on the bed reading a book taken from Diego's bookstore, Anne jumped lightly, turned over in the air, and after falling, she was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and asked Liu Ye a question that was more philosophical.

"I really don't know about that......." the little girl thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I think a real partner should be the kind of person who treats you as a family member, takes care of you in every way, helps you, and won't drag you down when he can't help you, that's why it's called a partner......" Anne rubbed the little girl's hair.

"Why did my sister suddenly remember to talk about this?" Liu Ye was a little puzzled, why did Anne suddenly talk about this.

"Because that's what I just found out. Anne smiled, pulled the quilt over it, and the little girl put down her book and turned off the magic lamp.

Vera's bedroom on the other side.

Vera looked at the mercenary group badge in her hand, sighed softly, turned off the light, and quietly looked at the moonlight outside the window, the moonlight was like a person, cold, and sentimental.
