Chapter XXXIII
Fifteen minutes later, Lemon came to the door of Anne's bedroom.
Within fifteen minutes, Lemon was back in his room, washed up briefly, and changed into a new custom noble garment, again the work of the master tailor of the Sumkawi.
Through the door, Li Meng heard the sound of running water, and combined with the disappearance of the two servants outside the room who usually stayed here no matter what happened, Li Meng was sure that Anne should be bathing.
Because those two servants often leave their positions only at this time.
"Maybe it's out of their respect for Anne, right?"
Li Meng thought so, and then, with his back against the door, temporarily assumed the duties of the two servants.
It seems that every girl pays great attention to the cleanliness of her body...... It seems that the pool of clear living water generated by the magic circle in Anne's bedroom is too comfortable...... After another ten minutes, Anne still didn't come out.
However, Li Meng was still waiting.
Of course, Li Meng didn't feel bored, because, while waiting, his brain was still thinking about the content of the book "Natural Enlightenment".
His thoughts drifted farther and farther with what the author had written......
The natural phenomena such as evaporation and freezing recorded in the book fascinated him......
There are a few other things......
The book "Natural Enlightenment" inspired Li Meng a lot, and this book gave him a new perspective to observe the world......
But this does not mean that the book and the temptation it brings to Lemon will make Lemon completely ignore Anne's feelings...... Therefore, despite his strong obsession with studying the content of this book, Li Meng still chooses to accompany Anne and do what she wants to do with her......
......
"Ah......hh What should I do?"
Suddenly, Anne's distressed voice came from the bedroom. The sound of the water was still continuing, and Li Meng frowned - because he knew that the pool produced living water needed to activate the magic array. And the magic array is continuous, so this can only mean one thing......
That's right, that's what Anne should ...... I forgot to turn off the magic circle.
So, Li Meng shook his head, pushed open the door and walked in.
......
"Ah......hh When did my hair grow so long? Why didn't he remind me? Ahh......hhh It's a lot of trouble to clean up...... I can't use this mirror......"
Anne muttered to herself with a bitter little face, her little white hands clutching an indigo silk ribbon that she tried to tie to her hair, so that her hair would no longer be draped over her shoulders.
However, her hands were a little clumsy......
No matter how hard she tried, the silk ribbon felt like it had come to life, and it didn't come as she thought it would.
Anne even tied the silk ribbon very roughly, and then pulled it so hard that she tried to hold her long flowing silver hair in place with brute force.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the silk ribbon would become unstable when she let go of her hand, and then slowly slip off.
Li Meng saw this scene as soon as he entered the door, and he wanted to reach out and cover his head, but he knew that this might hurt Anne's poor pride, so he had to give up and stand in the same place.
Anne also noticed that Li Meng had come in, and she was stunned at first, probably not even realizing how long she had been in the bedroom. Then, Anne's face turned red again, because she knew that her embarrassed appearance was seen by Li Meng.
"Anne, I stood outside the door for a long time, waiting for you, and then I heard your voice just now, and came in...... Do you need help?" Li Meng pondered for a moment, and then asked cautiously, he noticed that Anne at this moment did not seem to be in a good mood.
“...... Well...... Me, I don't need ...... You, Limmond, go and wait outside for a while, I promise, right away!" replied Anne hesitantly, and judging from her rather unconfident tone, she said "right away", which should not be a long time later.
Li Meng, who realized this, counted the time, shook his head, and simply spoke directly.
"Anne, why do you take the ribbon around your waist and tie your hair?" asked Lemon patiently as he closed the bedroom door and came to Anne's side.
"Ah...... Is this, this one for the girdle...... Yes...... Hahaha...... Of course I know it's a ribbon for the girdle!" Anne laughed exaggeratedly, she was really not good at lying, and she was not good at hiding her emotions.
This was obviously caught by Li Meng, who sighed, took the silk ribbon from Anne's hand, and then gently tossed it aside, and patiently explained: "Anne, this silk ribbon, if you just twist it into a thin rope, it is useless...... What the hell are you doing now?"
"I ...... I do not know. As if she had made a mistake, Anne lowered her head, and her voice became muffled. Then, she raised her head and said with some frustration: "Li Meng, you know...... No one had ever taught me to do this before, so ...... So I ...... I won't!"
"Hmm...... I know. Lemmon nodded, and then, he rummaged carefully through Anne's clothes, which were piled on the ground like a hill, and removed all the wrinkled garments, and found a red headband among them.
"Well, that's what fixes the hair. Without waiting for Anne's reply, Li Meng came to her side and carefully tied Anne's smooth silver hair into the ponytail he often made for his sister with a headband.
“...... Li Meng?"
"Huh?"
"You...... Why are you so skilled?"
"Oh, Sister Vera has long hair too, and when she first started working as a maid, she was asked to pay attention to her appearance...... But her hands can't reach her long hair, so she ......"
"Hmm...... It turned out to be Sister Vera......"
Anne nodded in satisfaction, and after hearing that it was Vera, her heart that had been hanging for some reason finally let go a little.
"Limmond?"
"Well, I've always been there, you name it. ”
"I ...... I can't use the mirror......"
"Why...... Oh, I remember, because you're a Bloodline, right?"
"Yes, so...... You'll always help me in the future......"
"Yes, it would. ”
Without waiting for Anne to finish speaking, Li Meng decisively agreed, he not only helped Anne carefully tie the hairband, but also helped her gently wipe the food residues that had not been washed off her face.
“...... Is this an agreement between the two of us?"
"Well, forget it. ”
"Hehe, then never forget......"
"No, don't worry. ”
