When the sumptuous dinner was served on the table, Chai Anping didn't expect Jinx's story to be so appetizing...so tear-jerking.
Lux burst into tears, as if Chai Anping had tortured her during dinner.
"I said……"
While wiping her tears, Chai Anping coaxed her into picking up food like a child: "Are you crying like this, Your Highness? Look...the mucus is almost coming out of your nose."
He quickly went to get a tissue to help her block it.
"I...I'm sorry, Gracie!"
"ha???"
Chai Anping admitted that he had made fun of Lux just now, but when she burst into tears and suddenly apologized, he became anxious.
——No, what kind of strange development is this???
He was confused, what am I sorry for?
"Let's stop crying, Your Highness. Let's explain the matter clearly first..."
"Because you've been to Pi City for so long..."
Lux took a breath after saying something: "So after the mission came back, I secretly listened to what others were talking about you."
Chai Anping was a little confused: "Didn't I tell you everything?"
Lux pursed her lips, a little embarrassed: "Who told you... you always like to say big words that people can't believe."
Furthermore, the sweet joy that I heard from others about his deeds could not be expressed in front of Chai Anping!
"..."
Chai Anping looked at the sky speechlessly. Fortunately, Lux's description was not the tauren he imagined, which made him calm down a little: "What then?"
"Then they all said that you are good at everything, but you are too romantic...and you are confused with many women...such as female police officers, pirate queens, and exotic princesses..."
Damn it!
What are these words?
Chai Anping felt pornographic just listening to it!
I never imagined that false news about Piltover could reach Demacia.
He couldn't laugh or cry: "When did you find out about this? I'm really lucky that you can hold it in. You believe this kind of gossip. If you really have doubts, why don't you just ask me?"
Lux was speechless.
It turned out that she was only half-convinced. To be more precise, she had always told herself to believe in Chai Anping, otherwise she would not be so calm.
But after hearing Jinx's story, she deeply realized how harmful her doubts would be to Chai Anping.
It was obviously such a warm gesture, but in the end, he was suspected of having an affair...
Her heart was immediately filled with guilt, and looking at Chai Anping's anxious face, Miss Mianwei wanted to cry even more.
"What a fool."
Chai Anping held Lux's face, helped her clean the tears on her face and said with a smile: "Ask me if you want. If I hadn't told you this at night, wouldn't you have been holding it in your heart?"
He was really endeared by Lux's innocence.
"But……"
Lux's brows knitted.
"You, you have to understand how cute you are."
Chai Anping said earnestly: "Who in the world dares to hurt Miss Crown Guard's heart!"
He felt that he needed to instill a healthy concept of love in Lux. If he kept holding it in like this, he might cause something wrong... and she also chose to hide the matter of Ellerbella.
"You will coax me!"
Lux lowered her head: "If I become like that, you will definitely not like me in the future."
"How could you be so ugly crying now? Look, your nose is about to flow out again..."
Chai Anping pinched her cheek angrily: "I should get you a mirror."
"I don't!"
Lux sniffed hard, her cheeks turning red.
"Anyway, look at it. I'm not unhappy when I say it. On the contrary, I'm afraid that you'll keep it in your heart." Chai Anping rubbed her head: "Anyway, I've asked you all the questions. If there's anything else you want to know, tell me.
Come out and let me listen."
"oh!"
When she agreed, her stomach growled twice, which made Chai Anping hold back her laughter for a while.
"Um...is the Pirate Queen good-looking?"
"Um...ahem!"
Chai Anping said honestly: "To be honest, it's pretty good-looking, but it's worse than your crying look."
Without waiting for Lux to ask further questions, he quickly introduced all the rumored heroines. After sorting out their respective relationships, many rumors were self-explanatory.
——It’s embarrassing to say that the person Chai Anping knows best in Pi City is a goddess who likes to chirp on his shoulder.
Lux wiped away her tears: "Gracie? I will definitely not believe any rumors in the future? It's so deceptive!"
"What a big deal, Your Highness!" Chai Anping saw that she had stopped crying and smiled: "Looking at you, you look so naive. If you don't know better, you would think you are stupid for practicing magic."
"There's one more thing I want to tell you...you can't be angry!"
"Um?"
"Do you still remember that childhood sweetheart you once told me..."
Chai Anping raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly.
…
Listening to Lux talk about the experience of getting to know Ellerbella and working together, Chai Anping was secretly surprised that the two of them had many encounters.
After hearing what she had to say, both of them were a little cautious for a while.
"Gracie? In fact, Ellerbella is not that bad? Of course it must be her fault that she deceived you so much before...don't be angry? I took it upon myself to keep her by my side, and she has always felt guilty!"
Chai Anping was stunned when he heard this? He blinked: "Then what do you want me to do?"
"...I don't know either!"
Lux spread her hands and saw that Chai Anping was not angry. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "You haven't eaten after talking so much? You are so hungry!"
Chai Anping laughed because Lux had left Ellerbella by her side, and he had expected this situation.
This is also in line with Lux's character.
But these words cannot be said by him, otherwise he may end up doing bad things with good intentions.
He rubbed Lacus's head: "Eat your food well, I promise you to meet Aile and resolve this matter properly."
"oh!"
Lux lowered her head and concentrated on picking up the food, as if she wanted to find something out of the vegetable leaves.
Chai Anping sighed in his heart, after all, this girl is still stupid. I really don't know why I don't notice these little thoughts of hers.
However, it was a lucky break at night. Lux took the initiative to bring up the matter of Ellerbella, and there was a chance to solve the problem.
He also sat down and started eating, and from time to time he would bring some food to the crownguard lady who was pretending to be an ostrich.
In the silence, Lux suddenly grinned secretly and showed a silly smile.
…
"Gracie!"
After eating, Lacus put down her bowl solemnly: "The food tonight is delicious!"
"Even if your mouth is so sweet at this time, I won't take it seriously."
Chai Anping rolled his eyes, feeling completely calm.
Hearing this, Lux slightly avoided his sight, her cheeks quietly blushed, her white fingers holding the edge of the porcelain bowl trembled uncontrollably, so she simply closed her eyes and took a deep breath:
"So, I won't go back tonight!"
"……Um?"
"hiss--"
