For Aurora, who was already used to feeding him, giving him chocolates was as commonplace and unremarkable as a daily meal.
But at the special time of Valentine's Day, some things were always different.
What was more, Dark was the one taking the initiative today. To Aurora, this was undoubtedly a great victory born of long-term effort.
Though she did not find that "effort" strenuous at all. On the contrary, she had become immersed in it and enjoyed it immensely.
Aurora unwrapped Dark's chocolate and immediately recognized the signs of handmade chocolate. Her smile grew even brighter. "Dark chocolate? I quite like it."
The two sat down at the table. Dark also unwrapped his chocolate, and a faint scent of alcohol drifted out. He immediately understood. "Liqueur-filled chocolate?"
Aurora nodded. "You mentioned it before, so I tried making some. But I used a very low-alcohol fruit wine. Try it and see how it tastes. If you like it..."
"Mm." Dark sat down and took a small bite. The fragrance of wine immediately filled his nose.
Dark did not know what method Aurora had used to enhance the wine's aroma, but once it entered his mouth, the fruit flavor was even richer.
Dark said in surprise, "It tastes unexpectedly good."
Aurora said, "Why unexpectedly? Why not as good as expected?"
Dark said, "It tastes even better than I imagined."
Aurora covered her mouth and laughed.
Dark did not stay in Aurora's room for long.
But when he left, Aurora gave him an entire basket of liqueur-filled chocolates.
He felt that if he kept eating like this, the sugar in his body was going to exceed the limit—
After returning to the dormitory, Dark packed the mountain of chocolates on the table into his bag and headed for the Spiral Clock Tower.
