Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Welcome back, Cillian
Chapter 5: Welcome back, Cillian
Cillian walked down the stairs and looked at everyone in the living room. It was as lively as New Year's Day. Pink balloons occupied the ceiling, and streamers were tied into flower bouquets to decorate the room.
"Hey, Cillian, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"
Before Cillian could see clearly, he saw Fu Shi hit him with the ball, and it wrapped around him like an octopus. The impact almost made him lose his balance.
"Long time no see, Shi." Cillian hugged her subconsciously and smiled gently.
The honest and upright Fu Hua kept frowning as she watched.
For Cillian, Shi is equal to little Griseo, not in terms of age and figure, but in character and heart. Although Shi is already twenty years old, in some ways, she is still like a child.
"Oh my, Shi came back and didn't even give Miss Pink Elf a big hug?" Elysia narrowed her beautiful eyes like a fox.
"No~" Fu Shi said in a cute and naive way.
"Hmm~"
Elysia pouted.
Eden hugged Elysia from behind.
Elysia was pleasantly surprised. She rubbed Eden's fair cheek and said innocently, "Eden, you are really my good Eden."
Eden was still elegant, her cheeks slightly red from being tipsy, and the red wine in the goblet swayed slightly as Elysia rubbed it lovingly.
"Cillian, long time no see, welcome back."
"Eden, it's been a long time. You're really becoming more and more popular now."
"Haha." Eden laughed.
Cillian patted Shi, indicating that it was time for her to come down.
Fu Shi jumped down directly.
"Kevin, you're back?" Cillian looked at Kevin and Mei who opened the door and walked in.
Kevin, who graduated many years ago, is no longer the sunshine on campus. He has dark circles under his eyes, but still puts on a smile when he looks at Cillian.
Mei was holding Kevin's arm, wearing black-framed glasses, and had the aura of an intellectual beauty.
Kevin pulled Cillian and punched Cillian on the shoulder, saying, "If you leave without saying a word, I won't forgive you."
"I'm back to start a company this time. How about Kevin switching jobs to join me?" Cillian knew that Kevin stayed in Nagazora City just to work with Mei, but he still teased her.
"Well..."
Kevin gave Mei an awkward look.
Mei smiled and pretended to blame him and said, "Okay, Cillian, I didn't expect you to come to World Serpent to poach people right after you came back? If Mobius knew about it, she would not forgive you."
After Mei finished saying this, a proud and domineering voice suddenly appeared behind her.
"If he wants to dig, let him dig. It's not like World Serpent will be unable to operate without that little follower, huh." The tall lady with long green hair snorted coldly.
"Ah! It's Professor Mobius~" Elysia shrank out from Eden's arms.
"Hmph." Mobius turned her head away proudly and went upstairs.
"Uh...did I offend her in any way?" Cillian was confused.
Mei shook her head helplessly.
When they were at Chiba Academy, everyone knew that Senior Sister Mobius had a strange obsession with Cillian...
Fortunately, although Kevin is a straight man, he still knows what's in people's hearts, unlike Su and Cillian, one is gentle and the other is cold. One is gentle to everyone and the other is cold to everyone.
Mei took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and said with a smile, "Are you cooking? Do you need my help?"
The air was silent for a moment, and then everyone's expression changed drastically.
Su opened her eyes.
Aponia paused while chopping vegetables.
Elysia's smile was a little forced.
Kevin pulled Mei who was heading towards the kitchen, and finally persuaded Mei, who was about to show off her "cooking skills", to go back to the room to take a shower first.
Why does Kevin like to eat instant noodles?
Because plums can only be eaten when made into instant noodles.
After seeing Mei go upstairs, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Cillian wiped the sweat from his forehead and almost thought he would die from the poison as soon as he returned to the courtyard.
"What's going on? The atmosphere is so weird?"
Sakura, who came back just at the same time as Kevin, She was wearing a women's suit, with a pair of beautiful black silk legs under her skirt, pink hair and blue eyes. She looked at the people who looked like they had just escaped with confusion.
The little head that popped out from behind Sakura, with a cute little face and blue eyes, looked at Cillian and smiled sweetly: "Brother Cillian."
"Sakura, Rin, long time no see."
Sakura smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. The last time Rin and I went on a trip to Europe, someone used the excuse of being busy with work and didn't even see us sisters."
Rin nodded her head seriously and agreed, "That's right, Brother Cillian, you are so mean!"
"Sorry, sorry." Cillian clasped his hands together and smiled bitterly.
Rin came closer to Cillian, "Is just an apology enough?"
Cillian pinched Rin's little face and consoled her with a smile, "Rin, you are really a smart kid. Otherwise, Brother Cillian will give you a few exercises as an apology."
Rin slapped Cillian's hand away, hid behind Sakura, and pursed her lips, "Brother Cillian is bullying me."
"Okay, Cillian, stop teasing Rin." Sakura rubbed Rin's little head.
"Welcome back."
"Um."
They smiled at each other, and only Rin was hurt in the world.
"It's time to eat, huh." Kalpas, who was wearing a facial mask, held the last dish and shouted loudly.
"Coming, coming." Rin trotted towards the dining table.
Sakura grabbed hold of her, "Wash your hands first!"
"Got it, sister~"
There was a huge round dining table in the living room, with more than thirty dishes that looked delicious, and everyone sat around it.
Kosma also came back at the exact time, put down his schoolbag, and sat down without saying a word, but from the look he gave Cillian from time to time, you could tell what was in his heart.
"Let's welcome Cillian back. Cheers!"
Elysia was the first to raise the glass filled with juice.
"Cheers~!"
"Let's take a picture!"
Vill-V installed the camera and hurried back.
With a click, time seemed to stop at this moment.
