In the afternoon, the sun was a little brighter, and it shone softly from the sky, as if to dispel some of the coldness of this winter day.

Lu Qi sat in a chair with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and drank it leisurely.

Not far away, Miss Crownguard was in and out of her room, looking extremely busy.

Lu Qi took the moment to glance at it and said, "Do you have so much luggage to pack?" ”

Hearing this, Lux temporarily stopped, wiped the beads of sweat on her white face, and said crisply: "Of course, I bought a lot of things to bring back this time." ”

Luqi glanced at the pile of luggage she had packed again, gave her a look of continuity, and looked away.

Hill City has a bazaar, and naturally there are merchants selling things in the bazaar.

Even in times of war, normal business will not be affected.

Whenever you see something strange these days, Miss Corona will buy it.

It is in the nature of women to love to buy things.

Anyway, I've bought a lot of them so far, and Lu Qi doesn't know what to do.

Anyway, she's happy.

After the battle, the matter of returning to the royal capital was also on the agenda, so Lux began to pack her luggage.

The radiant little face is already full of yearning and anticipation for going home.

Leaving the royal capital for so long does make this girl miss it very much.

The time is set to leave tomorrow morning, and the affairs of Hill City and the Gate of Sorrows will be handled by Gavin IV.

When he is done dealing with this side of the problem, he will also return to the royal capital.

"Whew, it's finally over."

Lux, who had been busy for a while, exhaled, and after exerting some physical strength, her face was flushed at the moment.

She blinked with a pair of bright eyes, and saw that everyone was in a state of not disturbing each other and being busy with each other.

After thinking about it, he suddenly proposed, "Why don't we go to the city again today." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi looked at her: "Don't you go shopping every day these days?" Haven't had enough? ”

Lux said, "It's the last day, after all." ”

I've been away for a long time, and I think about going home every day.

But when it was time to go home, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to be here.

After all, she had been in Hill City for almost a month, and she had broadened her knowledge in this city, and she had seen many things that no king could see.

For her, during this time, the impact and significance are still significant.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Kahina thought about it and agreed to the proposal.

She probably had the same idea as Lux, and it would be nice to see the city before leaving.

At this time, Sana also stood up with Sanhua in her arms, and seemed to agree with this proposal.

Kahina looked over: "Is my sister going with you too?" ”

Sana nodded slightly.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Poppy raised her little hand, excited to join.

"Where's Wayne?" Lux's eyes searched for a circle, and finally landed on Wayne's body: "Let's go together!" ”

"Okay."

Wayne nodded slightly.

She remembered that she hadn't really walked the streets of Hill City since she had come to Hill City.

Just take this opportunity to get to know the city before leaving.

In the end, a few pairs of sparkling eyes, full of anticipation, all fell on Lu Qi's body.

Seeing that they all wanted to go out, Lu Qi had no choice but to get up from the chair and raise his waist: "Then let's go, it's okay to take a stroll." ”

So, everyone set off quickly.

Walking through the streets, the atmosphere of the city is noticeably different from when it first arrived.

Everyone in the city could see a smile on their faces, and the city seemed to be a little more vibrant.

One by one, the carriages drove in the direction of the outside of the city.

Just like Lu Qi and the others who are leaving, many people in the city are also about to leave Hill City.

They packed their bags, got into the carriage, and headed for a better tomorrow.

Defeating Noxus, it won't take long for the Shining Mountains to return to their former state.

Although the war has brought these people wounds that are difficult to heal, it is believed that with the passage of time, the wounds will slowly heal.

It is destined to take some time, but at least, everyone has hope for the future.

As if she had an inexhaustible amount of energy, Lux walked around the street, pulling Kasina with Poppy and looking around.

A happy smile appeared on the sunny and innocent face, which made people see it, and their mood unconsciously improved.

From a distance, this street seems to be a little more brilliant because of her.

Even though you've already bought a lot of things, there's always something new to the lady outside.

So, she started a new round of buying, buying, buying.

Clothes, wood carvings, handicrafts

Lu Qi couldn't help but say, "You buy less, there are already a lot of things at home." ”

"It's just where it is, and it's not expensive! I'm going to bring gifts back to my mother. ”

Lux gave him a 'you don't meddle' look, and didn't listen at all.

Seeing this, Lu Qi didn't say anything, and followed behind with a yawn.

Later, two energetic girls ran back and took the rest away, and Wayne, Katarina, and even Yurina were forced to join the shopping army.

Suanna, who had been soft and quiet, followed Lu Qi's side, her bright blue eyes looked at the street scenery, and when those joyful and happy emotions came to her heart, Yurong felt a little more touched by the scene.

She had seen the brutality of war as a child.

The same intruders, wielding cold-blooded weapons, broke into her first home.

Now, once again, they have invaded her second home.

It was also the second time she had seen the cruelty of war.

So, when she walked the streets of Hill City that day, she thought she had to do something.

Nowadays, when I see everyone on the street, smiles bloom again, when everyone is immersed in the joy of victory.

She couldn't help but think of her distant first home.

The war on the frontier of Demacia is over, but Ionia is still in the throes of war.

Lu Qi glanced sideways, glanced at the blue-haired girl next to him, and noticed a touch of depression in the eyes under the eyebrows of the willow leaf star.

He stretched out his hand, quietly took the girl's soft and delicate hand, and said, "Are you thinking about Ionia again?" ”

Feeling the warmth coming from Lu Qi's palm, a flush rose on Suanna's pretty face, her eyes flashed, and she nodded slightly: "Hmm." ”

Luki thought for a moment and said, "It's been many years since Noxus invaded that land. After so many years of unsuccessful intentions, it can be seen that the people there have not given up their resistance. Trust me, it's going to get better. ”

Sana bowed her head again, a smile appeared in her soft eyes, and an ethereal and pleasant voice came into Lu Qi's mind: "I also believe that they will definitely be able to drive the invaders out." ”

It's just that, at times like these, she can't do anything for Ionia.

Right now, even Demacia has a lot to do.

It seemed that she was afraid of being discovered by the girls in front of her, and after secretly enjoying the little happiness of shaking hands with Lu Qi and shopping for a while, Sana blushed and broke free of her little hand from his palm.

Lu Qi naturally didn't say anything, and continued to walk slowly through the streets.

At this time, he was really in a good mood.

However, when a ray of gaze flashed behind him, Lu Qi's hairs suddenly stood on end.

He knew this feeling very well, and it was a feeling of danger warning.

He felt wrong for a moment, this sense of danger had not appeared in a long time.

His face remained unchanged, and he yawned and casually glanced around, and the street was a normal scene, with people coming and going, and the sound of conversation and carriages was constant.

Nothing strange at all.

His suspicions grew.

Lu Qi believed that his sixth sense would not lie to him, so the danger he felt at that moment just now was absolutely real.

Just a momentary gaze made his hairs stand on end.

Boy.

Lu Qi couldn't help but call out to the good guy.

He suspected that he might have been targeted by something unclean.

Soon, the gaze reappeared, this time staring closely at Lucky's back, sending chills down his spine.

This made Lu Qi's mood solemn, and his eyes froze.

He and Sana walked past a stall in the street, where Lux and the others were crouching, studying the objects on the stall.

Seeing Luqi walking over, Lux immediately said, "Why are you walking so fast, wait for us." ”

Lu Qi turned around and looked at the girl: "Just buy it." ”

As he spoke, his gaze had taken in the scene behind him, and his complexion remained unchanged.

However, my heart skipped a beat.

If he was not mistaken, the moment he turned around, a dark shadow flashed at the end of the street.

Undoubtedly, this is where the perception of danger comes in.

Although it was a flash, he was sure that he saw it, and he pressed his heart and behaved as usual.

Next, it's time to go shopping, what to do.

After that, the same gaze never appeared again.

When I got back to my accommodation, it was getting dark.

After dinner, it was already dark.

There wasn't much to do here in Hill City, and today's rest wasn't enough, so everyone rested early and prepared to get up early tomorrow and leave.

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Luki looked at Caterina who was also about to rest, and said, "Did you forget something?" ”

Caterina looked at him with green eyes, "What? ”

Lu Qi smiled faintly: "I remember that someone didn't say that it was impossible to recapture the Gate of Grief years ago, and now that it has been recaptured, then it is natural to fulfill the gambling contract, right?" ”

"Bet."

Caterina paused, thinking of this.

In my mind, I suddenly remembered the detailed content of the bet I didn't want to face.

If Demacia can reclaim the Gate of Sorrow before the end of the year, then she will be responsible for warming Lucie's bed from now on

Now, only half a month has passed, and the door of grief has already been taken back.

In other words, from today onwards, she will truly become a bed warmer.

Seeing that Caterina hung her head and was silent, Lu Qi smiled: "I'm just talking about fun, after all, I didn't expect anyone to do what they said at the beginning." ”

When his words fell, it directly became a sentence in Caterina's ears, "If you can't afford to play, forget it".

She raised her head, and her delicate face was as cold as ice: "Warm is warm." ”

She, Katerina, is by no means someone who can't afford to play.

Dropping these words, Caterina walked briskly to Luffy's room, then opened the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Lu Qi sat on the chair, drinking hot tea unhurriedly, and was not in a hurry.

Caterina walked into the room and came to the bed.

Looking at the bed she often cleaned up, she took a deep breath, took off her shoes, and slowly lay down.

The bed board is not hard, but it is indeed quite cold, and I can't feel a trace of warmth in my hands and feet.

The quilt was draped over her body, and she finally felt a little warmer, and then she smelled the quilt and pillow, which belonged to Lu Qi.

It doesn't smell bad, it's a faint fragrance that wraps her entirely.

The dark room was very quiet, and her eyes stared at the dark ceiling without blinking, but Caterina felt her heart beat a little faster inexplicably.

I couldn't help but have more thoughts in my head.

What is the way to warm the bed?

Just a simple matter of warming up the bed, or.

A flash of panic flashed through her heart, and Caterina suddenly regretted that she had agreed to the bet so hastily in the first place.

In her opinion, it was impossible for Demacia to retake the Gate of Sorrow in less than a month.

But this guy only took half a month.

How confident she was at the beginning, now lying on this guy's bed, how messed up Katerina's heart is.

If you knew this, you should confirm the content of the bet in detail.

Caterina kept thinking about it, and the warmth in the quilt gradually warmed up, and at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

It made her heart pound.

Luki's footsteps were heard, and in a few moments, a flash of fire lit up in the room, illuminating the room.

Caterina also saw Luqi not far away.

She was lying on the bed, and the other man, not far from the bed.

This is the first time in Caterina's life that such a scene has happened.

Even though she has a cold personality, in such an ambiguous situation, Katerina inexplicably feels a little nervous.

But she's not thinking about it anymore.

In short, if this guy did something like that to her in a while, she would definitely not agree.

At that time, it was on the grounds that the contents of the bet were not confirmed in detail.

After all, although she was demoted to a bed warmer, she didn't like Lu Qi at all now, and she only felt that this guy was cheap and hateful.

Everything that happens to me now is due to this guy.

If this guy dared to open the mouth of the bed, she would let him taste how fast her knife was.

Lu Qi said at this time: "Is the bed warm?" ”

"Hmm."

Caterina replied with a cold face.

So, Luci walked to the bed.

Before he could speak, Caterina said directly: "I'm just in charge of warming your bed, after all, when you made the bet, you didn't say anything else." ”

"Of course."

Luci replied as a matter of course, and then looked at Caterina on the bed, as if surprised by her words, and then suddenly smiled: "Did you think of something strange?" ”

Caterina was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Lu Qi's smiling eyes, and her breath seemed to be suffocated.

Broken!

She seems to be in a bit of a hurry!

This guy obviously hasn't said anything yet, doesn't she say this directly means that she has thought of a deeper meaning?

Lu Qi thought for a moment: "So that's what you understand by warm bed." ”

Caterina's eyes finally had a little more shame in her eyes, and there was a little bit of unkindness: "You have to make such a strange request!" ”

Lu Qi looked at her like a fried kitten, and glanced at her, "So how long are you going to stay in my bed?" ”

Caterina was stunned again, then quickly sat up, as if she didn't want to stay here for a second, leaned out of her jade feet, put on her shoes, and disappeared directly into the room in an instant.

This suddenly showed his hand, which made Lu Qi slightly amazed.

What I saw just now should be an instantaneous step, right?

Instantaneously moving at a breakneck speed, and sure enough, it's fast enough.

Retracting his gaze, he lay on the bed, feeling the remaining warmth of Caterina in the bed, and sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, there is a warm bed maid in winter, which is still a very comfortable thing.

Now he was lying in bed, not feeling cold at all.

With a comfortable expression on his face, Luki quickly fell asleep.
