Chapter 333
"Whatever you say, I have no artistic talent."
He certainly lacked artistic talent, but young Leon.
His master's family also had a phonograph, because his master's wife loved listening to music, so they had a lot of records at that time.
Most of them are obscure symphonies, which only royalty and nobility can appreciate.
Leon didn't know why his teacher's wife liked listening to such high-class music, but he would listen along with her whenever she did.
"Hmm... let's try this first."
Losweiser changed the record.
The piece has a solemn and somber tone, a powerful and rhythmic tempo, and is also a symphony.
Leon found the name somewhat familiar.
He thought for a moment and then exclaimed, "Isn't this a piece by a very famous composer from the Empire?"
"Yes, you actually recognized it."
Leon shrugged. "It's not that difficult."
"Hmph, then listen to this one too."
She changed to another song.
Leon could still recognize that it was music from the Empire.
After several different songs were played, he was able to guess the composer's name accurately every time.
"Losweiser, tonight's fun activity isn't just guessing songs, is it? That's too easy. You're doomed if you think you can stump me with that."
Losweiser raised her pretty eyebrows. Oh dear, this scoundrel is once again habitually treating this as a "contest" between him and his wife.
Hmm... that's fine too.
She loved to deliver a heavy blow to Leon when he had the upper hand.
This has never changed since she met Leon.
"Well, it seems like none of this will stump you. I only have one record left, I wonder if you can recognize it."
"Bring it on! I've got this in the bag!"
"Oh? Such a strong competitive spirit isn't necessarily a good thing~"
"Same to you. And you only say that when you're about to lose, right?"
"Heh... how about we bet something like we always do?"
General Leon, confident and shrewd, asked, "Alright, what's the bet?"
"It's very simple, just one request. Isn't this how it's always been done?"
"No problem."
Losweiser smiled and then played the last record.
As soon as the prelude began, General Leon frowned slightly.
The rhythm and atmosphere of this piece are completely different from the previous ones.
It's more cheerful and bright; it's not a symphony, but more like... a dance.
Leon recalled it carefully.
He had indeed heard the piece before, but not on his teacher's wife's phonograph.
Where is it... where is it...?
"Can't remember, Imperial Little Music Library?" Losweiser teased.
"Wait, let me listen again."
However, until the piece ended, Leon couldn't recall where he had heard it before, let alone the composer or the piece itself.
Snap—
Losweiser turned off the gramophone, then crossed her arms and leaned gently against the edge of the table.
She tilted her head, her silver hair falling down. "This teaches us a lesson: never boast before you've won, right, little lion?"
Leon's face darkened.
Damn it, I've been tricked by that Dragon Queen again.
How did she manage to choose such a strange piece of music?
Leon had definitely heard it before, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Just then, he saw Losweiser slowly take off her shoes, revealing her bare, fair feet, and walk slowly toward him.
She stood in front of Leon, raised her slender, long arms, and gently wrapped them around his neck.
"What... what do you want to ask?"
"No rush. Before that, let me help you recall this piece of music."
Moonlight streamed in, spilling onto the Queen's long hair like a cascading Milky Way.
"At the graduation ball of the Imperial Dragon Slaying Academy, you accepted a senior's invitation to dance. She was the Only One girl among all the girls you rejected who made you hesitate even a little."
"Because you are attracted to her appearance, but after a brief encounter, you find that her inner qualities are not what you want."
"And the dance you danced with her when you graduated used the very last song."
"It seems your impression of the senior is far greater than your impression of this piece of music~"
"So, honey, are you ready?"
"I'm going to cause trouble."
Once life settles down a bit, Losweiser will reliably awaken her Silver Dragon Vinegar King attribute, adding a little ripple to her life as it enters a period of tranquility.
Leon's past experiences have taught Leon that her jealousy, besides expressing her dissatisfaction, also serves another purpose.
I believe the same will happen this time.
Thinking of this, Leon slowly pressed down on the wrists wrapped around his neck and asked softly, "Just say what you want to do, no need to use jealousy as an excuse."
Losweiser didn't answer immediately. She tilted her head slightly, broke free from Leon's hand, and raised her arm to wrap around his neck again.
Then Leon pushed him down again;
Then she raised her hand again;
Then it was pressed again;
Then he raised his hand again;
Then--
After several rounds, Leon chose to comply.
This Dragon Queen is as stubborn as a donkey; what can you do besides obey her?
With a satisfied smile, Losweiser wrapped her arms around Leon's neck.
She leaned forward gently, her breath mingling with the man's. Her silver eyelashes were distinct, and each blink lightly tickled Leon's skin.
And her pleasant scent, like an invisible and intangible spirit, yet whose presence could still be clearly felt, lingered and enveloped him.
Previously, her body fragrance was not strong; it was very fresh and subtle.
But after giving birth to Xiaoguang, this body fragrance became deeper and stronger, which was also very pleasant—and, of course, very addictive.
"First of all, your question is too rational," Losweiser said softly.
"Rationality? What does that mean?"
"Who would bluntly ask their wife what her true intentions are when she's jealous and throwing a tantrum? Huh?"
Losweiser's tone and expression were very subtle.
A smile that is not quite a smile, a coquettish look that is not quite coquettish.
She seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere at that moment; it wasn't particularly sweet, but it was enough to make her feel completely immersed in it.
Perhaps it was simply because this idiot in front of her was so attractive that whenever such an atmosphere was created between them, she would savor every single detail.
At the same time, Losweiser is also very good at "filling in" such an atmosphere.
Like a skilled bartender, she meticulously crafted this potent, ambiguous cocktail between herself and Leon.
"To put it simply... you're too much of a straight man."
"You're not a group member flirting with millions of people, and this is the first day your dad has met me."
"Well, you're not someone I've only known for a short time."
The Queen leaned closer, her nose lightly touching Leon's, and said, "Teasing me."
"How come I remember my wife as a Queen, not a pampered little wife?"
"What, don't you like the contrast in my this Queen?"
Leon sighed helplessly.
After a moment's thought, he made a decision.
The next second, Leon kissed Losweiser's lips decisively.
The beauty was slightly startled, but quickly accepted the brief kiss.
Just before deepening the kiss, Losweiser pulled away, but remained in a close embrace with Leon.
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile and asked.
"What are you doing? I'm jealous, and you just kissed me like that?"
"Since we'll have to go through this process eventually anyway, why not just skip the intermediate steps?"
"Hmph, my sister was right after all."
"What did your incredibly smart older sister, who uses all her intelligence on gossip and sex scandals, say this time?"
"My sister said that men lose patience after being married for a long time."
Losweiser twitched her thumb, gently brushing against Leon's slightly red and burning earlobe. "You used to be so patient in coaxing me, making me happy before you started touching me. Now you actually want to go straight to the final step. Sigh... men~"
Leon rolled his eyes, speechless.
Actually, he was patient enough to make the Dragon Queen happy, and he wasn't being controlled by the smaller head and was eager to touch her.
The reason he wanted to skip the middle steps was simply because he didn't want to be led by the nose by her.
Unlike most women, Losweiser is not controlled by her emotions; on the contrary, she has perfect control over them.
This includes being jealous.
Jealousy was merely a tactic she used to "coerce" Leon; in her words, it was simply a bit of fun between husband and wife.
In the past, whenever she tried to make Leon happy, she would take the opportunity to get him to do things she wanted him to do, in order to achieve her goals.
But this time, Leon wasn't going to let her have her way.
He had to resist.
As a married man, rebel!
"Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm? Did I just see through your little secret? I—hmm~..."
Before she could finish speaking, Leon grabbed her waist and pulled her tightly into his arms.
The beauty's soft body pressed tightly against his chest. Because of his height, he could take in the Dragon Mark and the mysterious and beautiful cleavage with just a slight lowering of his eyes.
But Leon kept his eyes fixed on her beautiful silver eyes.
Compared to her striking feminine features, he preferred to look into her eyes.
Beautiful and profound, it's like a galactic fantasy that makes you willingly lose yourself in it.
"Losweiser, what can you do if I want to touch you?"
"I'm your wife, so what? Of course... you can take what you want."
