Have No Desire to Inherit the Family Business
Chapter 13
[There's a place that happens to have twelve types of fruits. Let's meet here ~
From
Edith]
Chivalry thought from the bottom of his heart that Edith was a very strange person. She didn't even make it clear when setting a meeting place. He seemed to have only seen such things in mystery novels or when various forces exchanged secret signals.
He could only complain in his heart. He couldn't possibly question Edith openly if there was something wrong with her brain.
There was still an hour before the agreed time, and Chivalry had already set off for the meeting place.
She didn't deliberately make things difficult for him with this question. It was probably a joke that Edith suddenly came up with at some point and conveniently used here.
If he couldn't even solve this problem, then her favorability towards him would definitely drop by several levels.
A place with twelve types of fruits couldn't possibly be a fruit shop no matter how he thought about it.
Chivalry specially checked a few of the more famous places in this area and easily locked onto his target. It was an online celebrity ice cream shop that had twelve types of fruit flavors.
Chivalry turned on his phone and looked at the time. There were still forty minutes left.
He didn't plan to tell Edith that he had already arrived. This kind of thing where he specially told her that he was early seemed considerate and punctual, but it was the exact opposite. It would only have the opposite effect.
Moreover, he had already made plans.
The line at the entrance of the online celebrity ice cream shop was a little long. Chivalry wasn't in a hurry. He stood at the end of the line unhurriedly and chatted with Edith to pass the time.
Why did he come here so early?
Of course, it was to line up to buy ice cream to make a good impression!
Regardless of whether Edith had such intentions or not, she had set the meeting place here and not some tranquil and beautiful park, not some elegant and expensive restaurant, not some fun and dreamy amusement park. What did that mean?
It meant that she wanted to eat the ice cream here!
Chivalry had the ability to chat while waiting in line to make the atmosphere less awkward, but it couldn't compare to handing her the ice cream that he had been longing for for a long time the moment they met!
This was true maturity and consideration!
This team would probably take about forty minutes before it was his turn. Judging from how punctual Edith usually was in her livestream, he didn't think that she was the type to be late, so he didn't have to worry about the ice cream melting.
As for his favorite flavor, hadn't he already inquired about it long ago?
The more Chivalry thought about it, the more it made sense. He was impressed by his own wit.
"I want two peach-flavored ones."
Chivalry took the two ice creams with one hand. Just then, his phone vibrated. There were still two minutes before the appointed time. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Edith. Who else could it be?
[I'm here!
Where are you?
From
Edith]
Chivalry did not plan to reply to her. He put his phone in his pocket and used his good eyesight to search for the person he had been waiting for a long time in the sea of people.
It was not difficult at all. With just a casual glance, he recognized Edith in the crowd.
According to the description on the forum, she was a petite girl with gray hair and golden eyes.
Her average height was almost buried in the crowd. She pushed aside the people next to her and squeezed out, frowning impatiently.
She was wearing a long black coat with a designer white top, a simple checkered skirt, and a pair of black boots. She exuded a distant aura.
Her light gray hair was simply braided and tied behind her head. A few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks. Her golden eyes broke the monotonous color scheme from top to bottom. At first glance, everyone was attracted by the dazzling gold.
Her peach blossom eyes looked around as she tried to stick her head out.
Nice!!!
It was completely in line with his taste!
Chivalry strode over with the ice cream in his hand. His expression instantly changed into a cheerful smile, as if the little calculations in his mind did not exist.
On the other side, Edith was trying to find Chivalry in the crowd. She had already sent him a message, but she didn't know when he would reply.
Edith suddenly remembered that she didn't know what Chivalry looked like.
She was about to call Chivalry, but the second before she pressed the dial button, she stopped.
Someone was approaching.
The impatience that originally floated on the surface disappeared, and the psychological vigilance was hidden in her eyes. Edith quietly put her phone in the pocket of her coat.
Maybe it was Chivalry, or maybe it was someone else. Judging from the footsteps and the breath, it was definitely not an ordinary person.
The person had no intention of hiding his vision. He walked casually towards Edith, as if he was afraid that she didn't know.
Edith quickly judged in her mind. She was basically certain that this person was Chivalry.
Since it was most likely not an unknown person, Edith's vigilance was slightly less heavy.
She turned around in a relaxed and cheerful manner with a radiant smile on her face.
"Edith!"
The blonde young man waved happily at Edith. He held two ice creams in his other hand, and he suddenly came over and stood in front of Edith.
He was much taller than Edith, so he bent down slightly to prevent her from looking up.
"Nice to meet you. I'm the 'Langlang' you mentioned, although you seem to have changed to calling me by my real name."
Chivalry scratched his cheek with his fingers. His green eyes sparkled as he looked at Edith. He handed over the ice cream in his hand, "Here, it's your favorite peach flavor."
"Huh?"
Edith froze for a moment. She took the very pink ice cream. It seemed to be freshly made, and there were no signs of it melting.
Edith didn't even need to look up to meet Chivalry's beautiful baby face. Even if he claimed to be underage, no one would doubt him.
What happened to the attribute of most netizens dying at the sight of light?
This face that could instantly kill most people was completely beyond Edith's expectations.
This time, he was both handsome and considerate. Fortunately, Edith Dolores was a person who had seen all kinds of storms. Otherwise, she would have fallen for him in minutes.
How terrible would that be!?
Who was whose fan!?
Although strictly speaking, Chivalry could only be considered a teammate and a friend, not her fan.
"Thank you, you're really my considerate little jacket."
Edith didn't stand on ceremony with him. She took out her usual attitude and patted Chivalry's shoulder seriously. "You actually still remember my favorite flavor. Aren't you afraid that I'll change my taste?"
Chivalry licked the ice cream. In fact, he didn't quite understand the charm of this kind of food.
Hearing Edith's joking taste, he pretended to be distressed and lowered his head to think for a second. "Then I'll have to treat you to other delicacies to make up for it."
"Awesome. Awesome."
Edith used her free hand to pat the arm of the other hand expressionlessly. "You're obviously a master of love!"
"Hahaha, you're flattering me."
You say it like it's true. Why don't I see it working on you?
Chivalrous Swordsman was smiling on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart. He had the mentality of winning Edith's heart in this meetup, but Edith's impeccable attitude was exactly the same as before.
Chivalry speculated that good-looking people were probably used to it and wouldn't fall for it.
If Edith could hear Chivalry's thoughts, she would definitely widen her eyes in disbelief.
In the past, when she casually said that it was good to have a cat, all the servants and housekeepers in Dolores's house would bring all the breeds of cats to her within a day. And three days later, Yuloka brought back the cubs of a rare feline magical beast.
What was even more exaggerated was that a week later, her father even gave her the mummy of a pet cat raised by the ancient royal family.
Even if she knew that it was priceless, she didn't want a mummy cat!
To sum up —
Shouldn't this little bit of emotional intelligence and consideration be taken for granted?
Oh, she almost forgot that she was just a game streamer now …
The two of them strolled on the pedestrian street, and Chivalry took the lead to start a conversation. "Are you from the Republic of Batochia?"
"No, I just rented a house here."
"I see.
When it comes to the Republic of Batochia, I thought that the enemy's family is in the country, right?
Yesterday, Paper said on the forum that he wanted to assassinate me, so he beat up the enemy himself. I don't know if it's true or not, so I'm a little nervous. "Chivalry's smile didn't show any signs of nervousness at all.
"If you're curious, you can go and ask.
But it seems that when he sees you recently, it's like he ate explosives. "
Although she had been spending a lot of time with the swordsman recently, judging from the time they had spent together and how familiar they were with each other, Edith was more like a piece of paper — or rather, an enemy of the swordsman. Even if she knew his true identity, she would not simply reveal it to others.
In addition, she was still wary of Chivalry to a certain extent. The moment they met face to face, she smelled the strong smell of blood coming from his bones. He was definitely not a good person.
She was just doing a normal game streamer, so how come the friends she attracted didn't seem to be ordinary people?
Chivalry shrugged and expressed his helplessness at Paper's increasingly harsh words against him. "I can't help it."
???
Aren't you the one who provokes and even provokes people every time?
"Okay, okay, don't worry about this problem." Chivalry waved his hand disapprovingly. "Do you have time tonight?
Let's have dinner together, I've already made a reservation. "
"You're quite good at acting first and reporting later." Edith almost rolled her eyes. "I have time, but I have to do a live broadcast at nine o 'clock."
"Okay, okay, it won't be that late."
It was still quite early, so Chivalry and Edith chose to walk over slowly. They could also visit interesting shops along the way.
Under Chivalry's guidance and Edith's cooperation, the atmosphere was joyous and harmonious. There wasn't much of an awkward silence.
"I'm not interested in being a hunter at all. There's no game hunter."
Chivalry asked curiously, "But aren't you short on money?
Why don't you try being a bounty hunter or a contract hunter? "
You think she doesn't want to?
Wasn't it because of the three rules that had to be followed? After all, Dolores's family head would send people to supervise.
Although the people sent were lousy, Edith even said hello to them today, saying that she was going to play with her friends and that they weren't allowed to follow her and affect her mood.
Edith wasn't a person who liked to follow the rules, but she didn't like to slap her own face even more, let alone something that she cared about.
Thousands of words converged into a single sentence — —
"I'm too lousy."
Chivalry obviously didn't believe her words. "Pfft.
Edith is so modest. "
Edith ignored him. She was now in the state of walking with Chivalry, but she felt that the route was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it at the moment.
"We're here. This is the place."
The two stopped in front of an expensive and luxurious shop. The style was very familiar. When Edith looked up at the name of the shop, her expression suddenly became sluggish.
"I don't know. Have you heard of this shop?
It's a very capricious shop. You can't enter even if you have money. You have to have a membership card to enter, and only the management is qualified to give the membership card to others. "
"… Yes, I know."
"What's wrong with your expression?
Hey, Edith, don't you like this shop?
I thought for a long time before deciding to choose this shop. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll go and cancel the reservation. "
"No." Edith laughed dryly without any expression. "I quite like it, haha."
How could she not like it?
Of course not.
