Chapter 115 Ambiguity
The guard was really confused.
He didn't know how this man suddenly appeared in front of him, nor did he know how he could walk around so leisurely as if he was in his own home, so relaxed.
In fact, Carl was very nervous. He lowered his head and checked himself for the third time. His shoes were clean, his clothes were relatively formal, and there was also a bouquet in his hand. Carl adjusted the angle of the bouquet ribbon and then looked forward with satisfaction.
He looked at the guard and could clearly see panic and the gesture of wanting to call for help on the other's face.
"Oh, don't be nervous, I'm here for the party."
Who would show up out of nowhere to attend a banquet without going through the main entrance? The guard howled in his heart.
Suddenly, the palace door was opened.
Karl smiled when he saw the person who opened the door, but his face immediately fell when he saw the man following her.
Libery held a pair of exquisite slippers in one hand, staring at Carl with cold eyes.
Neither man said anything, but they succeeded in making the atmosphere tense.
“Karl, you’re here. Sorry, I’m not ready yet. How about I ask someone to take you to sit down first?” Qiao Suisui was about to ask the servants to entertain her, but she heard Karl say, “I’m not a guest. Don’t bother.”
Before she could react to the other meanings of these words, she only saw an elegant bouquet of flowers in front of her.
"Give it to me?"
Seeing him nod with a smile, Qiao Susu took it with a little surprise.
The bouquet was not big, very convenient to hold, the texture of the ribbon was particularly good, the flowers were pale pink tulips in full bloom, different from the original world, they were interstellar variants, and a few violets were mixed in. The color was very light but the combination was very beautiful, and the smell was also a light lily scent. She didn't expect Karl to do something like sending flowers, always felt that such a gentleman's behavior was not in line with his usual appearance. She thought that with Karl's personality, he would choose the most gorgeous and eye-catching large bouquet, but she didn't expect it to be a small bouquet that completely suited her preferences.
Girls are always in a good mood when they receive flowers. Qiao Susu lowered her head to smell them, then looked up and smiled at him.
"Thank you." She said in a low voice, a little embarrassed.
The man who was always a rascal and had no serious manners had his eyebrows slightly raised. He touched the tip of his nose, looked away unnaturally, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise but he tried hard to suppress them, with a suspicious blush on his face.
Libery waved away the guards, then leaned over to help her put on her shoes. He stood beside Qiao Suisui, his arm on her lower back. The two of them looked very well matched together. He unintentionally declared his sovereignty to Karl: "You are a guest now, please come in."
Qiao Susu didn't dare to let the two men be alone together, as who knew if they would fight again. In the end, she asked the servant to take Carl to the terrace to wait for her, and then she coaxed and persuaded Liberi to leave, and had to agree to his "condition".
She originally planned to prepare some home-cooked dishes, but when she arrived at the kitchen, everyone saw that it was her and they all showed off their dishes with all their might, one more than the other. Qiao Suisui herself did not realize that her behavior was interpreted as the boss coming to inspect the work at the grassroots level. Everyone was nervous and the whole kitchen was busy. In the end, she felt a little embarrassed to show off in front of Guan Gong. When it was finally served on the table, it was almost like the 5,000-year history of Chinese food development was laid out.
Karl looked at the table full of sincerity and didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong? Is it not to your taste? How about giving them some nutrient solution?" asked Qiao Susu.
"Are you trying to kill me to silence me? Or is this the last supper?" Carl said.
"?"
"Why else are you suddenly so nice to me?"
Qiao Suisui said with a smile: "Yes, this is a farewell dinner, I will send you away after you finish eating."
Karl glanced at her and said, "Not funny." He picked up the cutlery and asked, "Which one did you make?" Qiao Susu touched her nose shyly and pointed to the dish of tofu with scallions in the corner. "That one."
The cold dish was simple and quick to prepare, and she didn't think too much about it when she was making it. But when it was served, she felt it was really not good enough, so she treated them to some tofu with green onions to thank them. Fortunately, there was a table of full banquet to support the occasion.
Carl took one bite, then another. He didn't even look at the delicacies on the table a second time, but reached for the tofu with green onions again and again.
He didn't eat all the famous and delicious dishes, and only ate the green onion and tofu, which seemed a little shabby in Qiao Susu's eyes.
She bit the tip of the fork, her face a little hot. When she saw him reaching for the green onion tofu again, she finally couldn't help but said, "You, you eat something else."
"Why, you like to eat this too? It's quite popular. Do you want me to save a few bites for you?"
This sounds a bit weird!
"no."
Karl saw her blushing cheeks, looking a little embarrassed and ashamed, and he couldn't help laughing. This time he didn't confront her as usual, but turned to the emerald shrimp next to him.
He washed his hands, removed the shrimp heads, carefully peeled the shrimp shells, and placed them on her plate.
Qiao Susu was stunned, but seeing Karl was calm and generous, she didn’t know what to say and just ate.
So for the rest of the meal, Karl was the one who served her. He picked up dishes for her, poured her water, and even though she only looked at some dishes for a few seconds, they were already on her plate the next second. Karl didn't ask her what she liked to eat, he picked up all the dishes for her, and while he was unpacking the crab for her, he kept an eye on which ones she didn't touch and which ones she took a second bite of, and he secretly took note of them.
Carl is a person who has no desire for food. This is also one of the requirements of his job. Sometimes a bottle of special nutrient solution can last for ten days. He can maintain zero intake for twelve days by chewing gum alone. Sometimes he even forgets that he has not replenished the nutrient solution until he feels that his body functions can no longer be mobilized, then he remembers to replenish it.
Eating, to Karl, was a meaningless and time-consuming thing. But he knew that Qiao Suisui loved to eat, and eating well would make her feel good.
He was not very experienced in the delicate work of peeling crab meat, and the meat he peeled was loose and could not be picked up into pieces, so he just fed her the crab meat by pinching the crab shell with his hands.
Qiao Sui Sui was not used to being so close to him and wanted to say that she would do it herself, but she saw him make a gesture of opening his mouth, holding a long "ah" sound, and said, "Hurry up, my arms are sore."
Helplessly, Qiao Suisui opened her mouth and bit the crab meat, and saw Karl curling his lips and praising: “Good boy, you are awesome.”
"."
After dinner, Karl wiped her hands with a hot towel again. He held her bony wrists with his big hands and wiped them clean one finger at a time, slowly and methodically.
The man lowered his head with a serious expression. From Qiao Susu's perspective, she could just see his eyebrow stud, a small silver stud. She was a little curious and touched it out of nowhere.
Karl paused, looked up at her, and smiled charmingly.
"like?"
"Just curious." Qiao Susu wanted to retract her hand, but the man grabbed it first.
Karl’s big hand pinched her small hand and brought it to his brow bone.
Her fingertips touched his thick eyebrows, and then moved up to his nose bridge. Then, her fingertips slid down from the depression in his philtrum to his lips, outlining his contours.
