Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 488 Zoe: I've been waiting for this day for a long time!

The dinner at Dawn Castle began, and Jarvan IV and Shivana, who had changed into custom-made noble clothes, returned to the Hall of Splendor, and the banquet lasted until late at night.

At the banquet, Li Lin met many faces that he had never met before.

They all came from all directions in the west of the huge land of Demacia, and they all had the title of Baron at the very least.

Not only that, Liinland, a small independent country in eastern Demacia, and Nokmurch, which is only separated from Noxus by the Valoran Plain, the envoys of the two Demacian allies first presented their kings to the prince and queen. blessing, and then chatted with the famous Li Lin for a long time.

Even the Freljord people who went south from the Freljord to the south of the Urus Mountains in the north of Demacia, established the Skagorn settlement and continued for several generations, and basically had no intersection with Demacia before. , all sent envoys representing the leaders of the settlement to congratulate, and also presented gifts to the king, prince and queen-to-be.

In addition, Bobby, who had been staying in the Hall of Resplendent, approached Li Lin to toast and intended to entrust Oren Hammer to him, but he declined on the grounds that he already had a weapon that could rival the Ascendant.

Since Oren passed away and entrusted his best friend Poppy to find a new owner for the weapon that accompanied him all his life, this stubborn yordle has been wandering in Demacia for hundreds of years.

Even though Li Lin hinted many times through the "art of speech" that she was the "big hero" that Oren really wanted to find for Hammer, Bobby kept saying that he was not worthy of this title.

The yordle's go-getter spirit is well known throughout Runeterra, which is the main reason most people hate them.

If it weren't for the fact that the yordles are magical species in the spiritual realm, they are born with a "camouflage" effect. When they come to the material realm, humans can't see through their true appearance.

Otherwise, not only Poppy, but even Heimerdinger, one of the founders of Piltover and who made outstanding contributions to Piltover, would be spurned by a small group of people.

Of course, Li Lin could see through Yodel's real body at a glance from the very beginning, and he didn't know what Yodel looked like in the eyes of other people.

After the dinner party came to an end, Li Lin personally sent Sona and Kashina to board the carriage with the Bouviers, watched them disappear into the twilight of night, and then declined the king and prince's request to send them back to Piltover.

The time is a little closer.

Li Lin stood in the backyard of Gilaman's house and looked up at the upstairs of the main house.

The lights in Kaisha and Zoe's room were all turned off.

Kaisha has already fallen asleep, and Zooey never likes to sleep, so she doesn't know where to go to play again, and she will come back at dawn.

But Caitlin still had a little light on the balcony glass door with the curtains drawn, and she was reading books about criminal investigation, which was her favorite.

With his palms facing the ground, Li Lin mobilized his magnetic force to lift his body into the air, and landed silently outside the balcony door.

Since the door lock is made of metal, it can also be controlled by his superpower, and it is also gently opened by him without a sound.

There was no wind in the night, Li Lin manipulated the metal movement beside the glass door, and only opened a crack in the door for himself to enter, but before he could get a closer look at the situation inside the house, a cold metal pipe was stuck to his door. head on.

Li Lin looked aside from the corner of his eye, and saw Caitlin in cool pajamas smiling and staring at him against the wall, holding a kinetic revolver in his hand.

It was a handgun Erro had given her for her past birthday.

Although the current ordinary kinetic energy guns can't even scratch the surface of his skin.

"Trespassing on a private house is a serious crime." She said with a hint of teasing in her tone, "If it were someone else, even if you were shot dead, they would not have violated any laws."

Li Lin raised his hand very cooperatively, "But I've never heard of it. There are still people who enter their own homes and count them as trespassing."

Li Lin smiled slightly, and activated the magnetic force to forcibly control the muzzle of the revolver with no bullets in Caitlin's hand to move away from his head.

Caitlin rounded her beautiful blue eyes and exclaimed, "Hey! You cheated!"

Taking advantage of her distraction, Li Lin walked away from her in a flash, then wrapped one hand around her well-trained, slender waist, and clasped her free left hand with the other, pushing her back , Leaning against the wall.

Feeling the warm breath blowing on her face, Caitlin's fair skin was covered with a layer of cherry pink against the background of the not-so-bright desk lamp.

Especially her well-maintained delicate face, coupled with that expression of refusal and welcome, gave Li Lin a strong urge to "gnaw" a mouthful.

"Let go of me."

With a soft voice, she struggled slightly, and her right hand no longer took the gun that was raised above her head by Li Lin's super power, and fell down to hit his chest weakly.

But noticing the brilliance in Li Lin's eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth, Caitlin finally gave up struggling, let him go, and buried half of her face in his chest.

"Didn't you go to Demacia to congratulate Prince Jarvan IV? Why are you back?"

"Of course I came back to accompany my wife." Li Lin changed his posture and embraced her, "I've been busy for so long, and I've been neglected during this time..."

Before he finished speaking, Caitlin gave him a blank look, and then pressed his right index finger to his lips, "Come on, don't you think I can't see what you're planning?"

"Cough cough..."

Li Lin laughed awkwardly, scratched his hair, and the wording he had planned in his mind was instantly disrupted by her.

Caitlin walked away from his arms, and then sat back on the chair in front of her desk against the wall. She leaned against the back of the chair, raised her slender, white and greasy legs, stared at the man in front of her with folded arms, raised her chin without saying a word, and waited. He spoke up himself.

Noticing the inexplicable brilliance in the depths of her eyes, Li Lin became even more nervous, his mind went blank, and he didn't know where to start.

For a moment, except for the breathing of the two of them one after another and the light ringing of the clock hands on the wall, the room fell into silence.

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

After a long time, Li Lin took a deep breath, and finally forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart. He took two steps forward, squatted halfway beside Kaitlin, held her right hand with both hands, and raised his eyes to meet her.

"Kate..."

But when the words came to his mouth, thousands of words stuck in his throat again, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say a word.

Seeing Li Lin's embarrassment, Caitlin finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth and gave a smirk, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"Okay, okay, really, what's wrong with this kind of thing?"

"Huh?" Li Lin made a questioning nasal sound, a trace of confusion and surprise gradually emerged from his face,

What's happening here?
"I'm a detective who has cracked many big cases. Now, the sheriff of Piltover, do you think you can hide it from me with your little thought?"

Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled her hands away from Li Lin's hands and hugged her chest again, and snorted softly, "Tell me, besides Zoe, how many flowers and grasses did you get outside?"

Li Lin was startled, and stood up abruptly, the expression on his face suddenly changed to one of astonishment, "You, why are you..."

In fact, he was shocked not only by Caitlin who had seen through him long ago, but also by her current attitude.

This appearance, although slightly resentful, does not seem to be angry...

Caitlin curled her lips, "I've said it all, you can't hide it from me with your little thoughts."

She paused for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression in her eyes suddenly became serious, as if the person in front of her was not her lover, but a villain who did many evils.

"Besides, even if you think you can hide it from me, but Zoe has no acting skills at all, have you considered her?"

Caitlin snorted softly, "Let's not mention why she turned herself into an adult, the love in that little girl's eyes when she looks at you is almost condensed into substance."

Yes, is that an exaggeration?

Li Lin recalled the past period of time, as long as Zoe appeared beside her, her eyes would not be half a meter away from her...

Uh, it seems to be such an exaggeration.

"—Hiss!" Li Lin couldn't help gasping for air, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

Recently, when Zoe was with her, Caitlin was by her side too!

"Actually, you have established a relationship with Zooey long ago, right?"

Caitlin pursued the victory, stood up, and said in a tone of interrogation: "If you calculate it based on time, you said before that you spent a period of time with her in Demacia, so it should be at that time? No, it should be Only then."

Li Lin's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He knew that Caitlin was thoughtful, but he didn't expect that she could think of it to such a degree.

Seeing the man fall into silence, Caitlin got up from the chair and stepped forward on the slender feet of the sandals.

Every time she took a step, Li Lin asked the king to take a step back until he leaned against the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them switched from the identities of "hunter" and "prey" in an instant.

"Originally, I was only skeptical of you, but some time ago you took advantage of 'after the fact' to test me, which made me firm in my mind."

Caitlin pressed Li Lin's chest with one hand, moved her gaze upwards, and finally met his slightly panicked eyes, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Well, don't rush to reveal the mystery, let me guess first... Except for one Zoe, are you related to Kai'Sa?

"Although this little girl has returned to normal recently, she has been avoiding me a while ago, as if she had done something wrong.

"Combining the average life expectancy and customs of the Shurima people, Kai'Sa has already reached the point of talking about marriage.

"Based on Kassadin's words and deeds during the days when he came to our house, especially to you, I can probably guess that he should have held the red line for Kassa and you, I should be right ?”

At this time, Li Lin's face was already "ashen ashes".

Since she didn't deny it, in Caitlin's eyes, it was tantamount to acquiescing to what she said.

"Kate..." Li Lin called out her name hoarsely.

"Shh - don't speak in a hurry."

Caitlin made a "silence" gesture at him, then pointed her index finger at the corner of her lips, and continued with her small face tilted: "Although I don't know if you have confirmed your relationship with Kaisha, I know that you have at least There are other women out there.

"so……"

She gave Li Lin a look, as if she wanted him to "confess honestly".

Li Lin was silent for a long time, lowered his head, and sighed heavily, "And... Sona of Demacia, Sona Bouvier."

Since he was taught a lesson by Morgana last time, he would handle his own smell carefully every time.

Caitlin had just approached him, and she didn't smell Sona's perfume, otherwise, she would have questioned him from the very beginning.

"Huh?" Caitlin raised her eyebrows, "I heard you mention this girl, she is Barrett's daughter, she has a magic guqin, and like Seraphine, she has the talent to listen to other people's inner voices ?”

"Yes, but Seraphine hears the singing of other people's souls, while Sona understands what is in other people's hearts through Hua Hua."

Li Lin smiled bitterly.

Now, there is no need to hide anything.

After a while of silence, he looked up at Caitlin who was sullen, "I'm sorry..."

"To be honest, you are really sorry for me." Caitlin said bluntly.

There was a long silence in the air again.

Caitlin stood beside Li Lin with her arms folded, without any noise or disappointment, not even an angry beating or scolding, which made Li Lin feel the most guilty.

Just like a child who has done something wrong facing his mother silently staring at him, he couldn't see through Caitlin's attitude towards this matter at all, and his heart became more nervous.

I don't know how many times, Li Lin sneaked a glance at Kaitlyn from the corner of his eye, and every time he opened his mouth to say something, his brain, which was comparable to a supercomputer, went blank.

It is impossible for the intellectual brain that he has always relied on to provide him with advice at this time. After all, this is a matter between the two of them.

After an unknown amount of time, Caitlin was the first to break the silence: "However, your light is so dazzling, without me, your stage should have been even wider..."

Noticing the sadness flashing across her face, Li Lin couldn't help feeling a pang in his heart, and took a step forward, hugging Caitlin into his arms.

She didn't struggle.

"No, that's not the case. Without the Gilaman family, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"To be precise, it should be you, future pioneer Li Lin, who made Gilamann possible."

Caitlin raised her eyelids, with various complex emotions flashing in her eyes, she stretched her hand upwards, and gently stroked Li Lin's face.

"With your talent, no matter which family you choose, even if you start alone, you can make a career, but you chose Gilamann.

"Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary member of the parliamentary family, an ordinary person, it was you who made me grow up to where I am today, and made me worthy of you.

"You not only made me, my family, but also Shuangcheng, all of this is due to you.

"Your light is dazzling, unparalleled in the world, basically no one can surpass you."

As she spoke, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Caitlin's lips, with crystal tears flickering in her eyes, and she tiptoed to tap his lips.

"But even so, you didn't abandon Gilamann, you didn't abandon me, but instead allowed me to catch up with you. How can I complain about you again..."

Feeling the warmth around his mouth, Li Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and also felt heat in his eyes.

Although as artisan and rich lady, there is a big difference between him and Catelyn and the Gilamans.

Erro is a master of craftsmanship, and has somehow become known in the Twin Cities over the past few decades.

But Li Lin, as the darling of the two worlds, is even more legendary.

From the beginning, he and Caitlin were in an unequal position, with the Gilaman family being the biggest.

Up to now, there is still an unequal status between them, but it has been replaced by Li Lin alone.

But in any case, "love" cannot be measured by this.

"Kate..."

Li Lin bowed his head and kissed Caitlin deeply.

After a long time, until her body was a little weak, and her beautiful blue eyes were twinkling with confusion, he gently picked her up in the posture of a princess, and walked slowly towards the other side of the room facing the door.

However, the atmosphere that the two had finally brewed was broken up by another excited girl's smile.

Immediately afterwards, a golden halo suddenly appeared beside the two of them, Li Lin was slightly taken aback, while Caitlin's expression was dull.

When she saw Zoe jumping out of the portal, Caitlin's face turned red, "Zoe, Zoe! Why... Get out!"

"Hey~~ I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Zoe jumped right behind Kaitlyn, bouncing up and down on the big soft bed.

Caitlin seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened, her face showed panic, and she struggled to get out of Li Lin's hand, but his strength was much stronger than hers, so it was useless.

"Li Lin, you can't... um!"
