Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 870 Lan Qi’s high-end game

On the north bank of Huadu Parrieux, a magnificent iron tower towers majestically on the banks of the Selena River at the end of the field of vision.

In the square under the Iron Tower, a lady dressed extremely elegantly is standing quietly. Her long gray hair is as smooth as a waterfall. It is light and elegant in the breeze, and has a warm luster under the reflection of the morning sun, as if an angel has descended into the world.

“…”

She seemed a little nervous at this moment and clenched her hands.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approaching from far away disturbed the meditating lady.

She slowly turned around and cast her gaze in the direction to her side.

Those bright golden eyes fell on Lan Qi who was staying in the distance.

After receiving Talia's communication, Lanci came to the "old place" that Talia called in North Shore District 1 to meet her.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

Lanci greeted Thalia.

He had come on foot, and Thalia had arrived early, probably on a ride from Countess Rosalinda.

The Thalia in front of her looked brand new compared to the morning. She had obviously been dressed up again by Countess Rosalinda at the Count of Asturias Palace.

"It's nothing, I just arrived, and didn't I call you here suddenly?"

Thalia said in a rather easy-going tone, not as cold as before.

“…”

Lan Qi let go of the little black cat in his hand, and let the cat boss, who had been struggling for a long time, jump away freely. He looked at Talia in astonishment.

Under the iron tower, the two of them looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first. There was silence for a while, except for the white swans on the Selena River in the distance, leaving a few ripples as they slid across the lake, but they still didn't wait for another conversation.

Today's Thalia's attitude was much gentler than usual. Normally, she would simply nod to show that she understood, and would not say so many words to him.

"By the way, Lan Qi, what do you think of my appearance today?"

When Thalia saw Lan Qi staring at her like this, she lifted up the hem of her skirt with one hand and turned it gracefully in a half circle, allowing Lan Qi to admire it.

This is the gorgeous uniform of the Posen Kingdom's court. It was a gift specially given to Talia by Rosalinda to congratulate her on passing the platinum-level card maker exam. She only wore it when she was dating Lanci.

In the past hundred years, the dresses of female aristocrats in Huadu have gradually become simple and elegant. They are no longer too complicated and extravagant. Instead, they focus on simplicity and embellishment with details, such as ribbons, gems, lace, etc., giving them a dreamy and romantic atmosphere of girls.

"very beautiful."

Lan Qi frowned and observed.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Thalia came over and looked at Lanqi lovingly and asked.

"Are you planning to punish me again today like you did last time?"

Lanci looked at Thalia more warily.

He recalled the last date he had with Talia in Huadu. He didn't know who had the bad idea. Talia deliberately pretended to be gentle and considerate to disgust him. As a result, the two of them competed until the end and finally broke out with each other.

"Meow."

At this time, Boss Cat had quickly ran to hide behind a newsstand in the distance.

The most fortunate thing for it was that it didn't follow them closely the last time the two of them went on a date.

But it couldn't understand which play Lanci and Talia were performing today.

Thalia's eyes looked like she was looking at a lover, while Lanqi's expression looked like she was facing an enemy.

If the camera faces off, it doesn't look like two people are filming the same movie.

"Haha, I just don't want you to feel happy, so I won't let you make me angry as you wish today."

Thalia crossed her arms and shook her head as he laughed angrily.

Finally, Thalia looked at Lanqi with a trace of love in her eyes, as if she were looking at her own child Hyperion.

"Huh?"

After listening to this, Lan Qi fell into the universe of thought.

This is the first time he has encountered such a difficult psychological game.

He was a little unclear on which floor he and Thalia were on.

"Anyway, don't worry. I won't be angry with you today. I'll just treat you as indulgent. You can say whatever you want to me and do whatever you want to do. I won't blame you."

Seeing that Lan Qi was still thinking, Talia reassured him and continued.

"Is this so..."

Lan Qi blinked slowly and murmured to himself,

"So no matter how I mess with you today, you won't be angry?"

He asked slightly bravely, mixed with expectation and fear.

"You...just take it as such, you can mess with me as you please."

Thalia originally planned to say something, but she held back and answered patiently.

Before Lan Qi could continue thinking, she took a step forward, took Lan Qi's hand, and pulled him close.

"Also, didn't you say last time that you were curious about what kind of wonderful experience it would be to date a demon princess who has lived for eight hundred years? Do you have a conclusion now?"

Her eyes were intense, with a hint of inquiry, as if she wanted to understand Lan Qi's mind.

"??"

Lan Qi was even more fooled by Talia.

Thalia seems to be particularly aggressive and proactive today.

And all she said were his words.

"Hmm."

Thalia chuckled twice in Lanci's ear, left him again, and motioned for him to follow.

As soon as Lan Qi took a few steps, Talia held Lan Qi's hand again, this time interlocking their fingers naturally.

“…”

Lan Qi was speechless and did not resist, letting her lead her away.

He is still observing.

Thalia's mood was very stable, as if the inner turmoil calmed down immediately.

Lan Qi didn't understand what was going on with Talia at all. For the time being, he needed a round of learning process. Before that, he could just learn Loren's playing style.

Wait, he is the love instructor, how come he is imitating Loren?

The more Lan Qi thought about it, the more he felt that Talia was a bit like a master today. As always, she couldn't figure out Talia's moves, and she began to mutate, but it was hard to say what the biggest change in her was.

"So cute that I want to eat you~"

Lanci and Thalia strolled through the streets of Parrieux, and the hustle and bustle was gradually replaced by the city's vibrant midday sun.

Thalia held Lanci's hand happily and hummed a little tune from time to time.

"After Brilda's performance that day, many people said that the last demon king of the demon clan is the strongest singer in the Southern Continent today. She has gained many fans in the past month."

Lanci listened to Thalia's notes and preached.

"Really? Do you feel like you are secretly dating a female celebrity now?"

The two of them strolled along like this, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

"A legendary female star who is 800 years old and has two children?"

Lan Qi turned his head, surprised and asked naturally.

“…”

Thalia held Lanci's hand tightly for half a minute.

She took a deep breath, calmed down her mind, and raised her head to meet Lan Qi's gaze.

"Do you want it?"

Thalia asked.

"What do you want?"

Lan Qi was confused by Thalia's sudden question.

He was still in the process of machine learning and needed more training sets to understand Talia, but the data Talia put in was all messy.

"Pack us up and ask for them."

Thalia glanced at him and didn't look at him again. Instead, she stared at the road ahead and muttered to herself. That resentful look seemed to be asking him, would he not want it when he was eight hundred years old? Would he not want it if he had two children?

"???"

Lan Qi felt like today was a high-end round.

On the streets near the Place de Paris.

The nimble figure of Boss Cat was hiding behind, following Lanta furtively.

Although it felt uneasy inside, its curiosity still drove it to find out.

Today, Talia took the initiative to lead Lan Qi, so the two of them held each other very casually, just like a normal couple.

But the closer the distance between the two of them, the more Boss Cat worries that he who is following them will suddenly be in bad luck. These two active volcanoes are both desperate gamblers, and they will only bet with each other to the end.

It moved back and forth among the corners, benches, and newsstands, turning into a flexible black shadow.

Suddenly it felt that its body was covered by shadows, and someone seemed to be behind it.

"Meow!"

The cat boss kept growling, trying to scare away the humans who suddenly came towards him.

"It's me, Cat!"

Suddenly a familiar voice made Boss Cat stop breathing.

It raised its head and saw only kind faces.

"Countess Rosalinda, meow?"

Boss Cat said.

Today, Countess Rosalinda is no longer wearing a bright red evening dress like when she first met her, but a men's suit with a rose-patterned waistcoat. After wearing a beret to hide her long hair, she looks extremely handsome. Neutral beauty.

"It's us again!"

Countess Rosalinda caught the little black cat.

During the first round of the platinum level card maker exam, the little cat followed her throughout the whole day.

The last time she followed Lan Qi and Tata on a date, she was with Atio, and then she met the little black cat by chance, and they were satisfied with eating melon along the way.

Etiou was not here today and seemed to be busy receiving distinguished guests. Rosalinda asked Tata, but Tata hesitated to say what was going on, so Rosalinda turned to ask about Tata and Ranchi. , and then followed Tata here.

"Meow, Rosalinda, my friend Meow."

When the cat boss saw Rosalinda still smiling so happily, he knew that she must not know who was back.

It couldn't bear to make Rosalinda lose her smile at this time, so it couldn't speak.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

It raised its paws and high-fived Rosalinda as a witness of friendship.

One person and one cat were tacitly observing Lanqi and Tata's every move.

"By the way, little black cat, last time the three of us followed Ranchi Tata together, we took a picture of them holding hands and feeding each other in the restaurant of Colon Zhiri Bridge Inn. These beautiful commemorative photos could not be sent to us before due to international postal obstruction. You guys, international mail was restored a few days ago, so I’ll send it to your restaurant.”

Rosalinda lowered her head and said to the cat boss.

"Cao Miao! Send it!"

The cat boss was so frightened that he struggled for a moment and couldn't even stop his voice.

I'm afraid the person signing for it will not be Sigrid.

Maybe when Ranchi and Tata go back, the photos will become public.

"Sent? It was indeed sent."

Rosalinda looked at the little black cat doubtfully and confirmed again.

When she was taking pictures, she heard Boss Cat keep muttering "Send it", so she took it to heart and sent it to Boss Cat.

“…”

If it breaks, it becomes the culprit.

Boss Cat didn't know how to explain to Rosalinda the current complicated situation in Boss Cat's restaurant, and the situation of Ranchi and Tata's date that day was probably not what Rosalinda and Atio saw through appearances!

While Rosalinda was chatting with the cat, Rosalinda noticed a dark blue convertible magic vehicle speeding past. Lanci, who was being led across the road by Thalia, was absent-minded in the back, still thinking about something.

Lan Qi's emerald green eyes were full of thoughts.

"orchid!"

Rosalinda nearly shouted.

Thalia reacted immediately.

She put an arm around Lan Qi's back and hugged him, and the two of them quickly took a step closer to the sidewalk.

In this sudden moment of weightlessness, Lan Qi felt that everything around him slowed down. The footsteps of pedestrians on the road and the green leaves on the treetops all seemed to pass by in slow motion in his field of vision.

Only Thalia's warm hands and hug gave him an incomparable sense of reality.

Lan Qi slowly lowered his head and looked at Talia who suddenly hugged him tightly. He was extremely surprised.

It's not like he hasn't been hugged by Thalia.

It's just that he has never been so actively pressed by Thalia without any sense of distance, as if she no longer has any scruples about him between men and women.

"As long as I'm here, you won't get hurt."

Thalia raised her hand and gently pressed Lan Qi's cheek, speaking to him like a mother comforting a child frightened by a vehicle.

“…”

Lan Qi was still speechless.

Her voice and her warmth passed through his mind, making his thoughts even more confusing.

In the past, he would have said it again, great, otherwise the people in the car would be in danger.

Because the mere mana vehicle couldn't hit him and Tata, it was just like hitting the iron tower, causing the car to be destroyed and everyone killed on the spot.

But in this atmosphere now, he didn't know why, so he couldn't say this.

"Lan Qi, are you shy? But if I need to continue holding you to make you feel at ease, I will keep holding you."

Thalia seemed to see Lan Qi's confusion, and asked him with a provocative and doting attitude while concealing her pride.

They hugged each other like this on the street, already attracting glances from passers-by.

“…”

Lan Qi's eyes moved slowly and met Thalia's golden, winner-like eyes.

He's a bit incapable of laning with Thalia.

But if she hesitates any longer, she will definitely see her predicament.

Lan Qi didn't know whether it was because of obsession or a conditioned response.

Lan Qi hugged Talia subconsciously and couldn't help but smell the fragrance in her hair, as if tasting a jar of old wine.

Thalia trembled with fear.

But she still resisted and pushed Lan Qi away.

He suppressed his slightly flushed cheeks and continued to hug Lan Qi, ignoring all kinds of people on the streets of Parrieux.

If Lan Qi doesn't let him go, she won't let him go, let's see who can control whom.

…

Behind the corner on the other side.

"Look at how good their atmosphere is, this kind of distant embrace, this kind of youthful feeling, this is love."

Just looking at it from a distance, Rosalinda felt like the girl's heart would melt.

"Meow."

Cat Boss was held by Rosalinda and also watched Ranchi and Tata's date.

Last time, the process was all wrong and the result was all wrong.

This time the process was still all wrong, but the result seemed to be right.

It doesn't know what to say.

I just feel that if there is a second season of Ranchi and Thalia's strategist battle, it will probably become a crazy game.
