"Ouch--"
In the corner, Macao screamed angrily.
"You still drink milk at such an old age. Isn't our Lu Chongwei eldest son still weaned?"
"That's right!" Wakaba echoed, "Men should drink! What's the point of drinking milk?"
There was a burst of laughter in the guild.
Before Lu Chongwei could speak, the smile on Mirajane's face suddenly became extremely bright.
That is a sign that the Demon is about to awaken.
"Uncle Macao, uncle Wakaba."
Mirajane's voice was as soft as coaxing a child.
"Milk is rich in nutrients and is good for the body. But if you drink and smoke all day long, be careful, your health will be bad and you won't even be able to do your tasks."
As she spoke, she shaped a thick tray into an iron ball with her bare hands.
Crunch--
The harsh sound of metal twisting made Macao and Wakaba shut up instantly and break out in cold sweat.
"No... that's right! Milk is good! Milk is the best!"
The two of them nodded wildly, full of desire to survive.
Lu Chongwei took a sip of milk and smiled. He put down the cup, reached into his arms, and fumbled around for a while.
"By the way, Mira."
Lu Chongwei took out a delicate small box and pushed it in front of Mirajane.
"This is a gift for you."
The hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes widened and their faces were full of gossip.
Gift?
Lu Chongwei actually gave a gift to Mirajane?
And it looks like a small box for jewelry?
"Could it be..." Lucy covered his mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, "Proposal ring?!"
Mirajane was also stunned.
Her cheeks quickly became flushed, and she wiped her hands on her apron in confusion.
"For... for me?"
Her voice was trembling, and her heart was beating hard.
This is the first time Lu Chongwei officially gives her a gift.
"Open it and take a look." Lu Chongwei gestured.
Mirajane took a deep breath and opened the box carefully.
Lying quietly inside was not a ring, but a necklace.
The pendant of the necklace is a dark blue Magic Crystal, crystal clear, with a starry sky sealed inside, exuding a faint wave of magic power.
"This is the Aurora Crystal I found at Far North."
Lu Chongwei explained.
"I asked the craftsmen over there to process it and burn a defensive spell into it. As long as the wearer is attacked by a fatal attack, it will automatically trigger a shield, which can withstand a Ten Wizard Saints level full blow."
"Wow..."
There was a burst of exclamation from all around.
Withstand a full blow of Ten Wizard Saints level?
This is not a necklace, this is simply an extra life! A magic item of this level is absolutely priceless on the market.
Mirajane looked at that necklace, his eyes filled with emotion.
She knows, he remembers.
He always remembered what happened to Lisanna two years ago. He gave this to her in the hope that she would be safe.
"Thank you... I like it very much."
Mirajane picked up the necklace and stroked it fondly.
At this moment, Lu Chongwei added another sentence:
"Actually, this was originally a pair."
"Huh?" Mirajane raised his head.
Lu Chongwei took out another identical necklace from his arms, except that the pendant was red.
"This one, give it to Erza when she comes back."
Lu Chongwei scratched his head with a calm expression.
"After all, you two are always at the front and are the most vulnerable to injury. One person each, so I can rest assured."
Clang.
There were several sounds of chairs overturning around.
Macao and Wakaba slapped their thighs with expressions of hatred.
"I knew it! I knew this guy was a piece of wood!"
"How can anyone give gifts and wholesale them? And they are given to two bitter enemies!"
"What kind of straight man operation is this? He is simply single based on his strength!"
Lucy also held his forehead speechlessly.
The romantic atmosphere just now was gone.
However, Mirajane was not angry.
She looked at the red necklace in Lu Chongwei's hand and smiled even more tenderly.
This is Lu Chongwei.
Although he doesn't understand amorous feelings, his concern for his companions is genuine. Moreover, he can take out another one in front of her, which shows that he has an open heart.
"Put it on for me."
Mirajane turned around, lifted up her long silver hair, and exposed her slender, snow-white neck.
Lu Chongwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He stood up, walked behind Mirajane, unbuttoned the necklace, and carefully put it around her neck.
The fingertips inadvertently touched the delicate and warm skin, and Lu Chongwei's fingers paused slightly.
Mirajane has a light milky scent, which smells very good.
"Okay."
Lu Chongwei Button it up and sit back in your position.
Mirajane turned around, and the dark blue crystal stuck to her white collarbone, looking particularly dazzling.
"Does it look good?" she asked with a smile.
"Well, it suits you very well." Lu Chongwei nodded honestly.
"That..."
At this moment, a big face suddenly came over.
Natsu pointed at his neck and looked at Lu Chongwei expectantly.
"Lu Chongwei, where is mine? Where is my gift?"
Lu Chongwei pushed his face away in disgust.
"Yours? What kind of defensive equipment do you want for your thick skin?"
"And don't you know how to eat fire? I'll treat you to a good meal next time to keep you satisfied."
"Tch! Cheapskate!"
Natsu muttered dissatisfiedly and turned around to grab the fish from Happy.
The hall was filled with laughter and laughter again.
Mirajane touched the crystal on his chest and looked at Lu Chongwei's lazy side face, the smile in his eyes grew stronger.
Although it is a piece of wood.
But this piece of wood is really warm.
Early morning a few days later.
Fairy Tail Guild is still very lively.
Lucy is standing in front of the task board, counting the coins in his wallet with a frown. Although joining the guild is fun, the pressure of rent is real.
"Levy, are there any easy and high-paying tasks?"
Lucy turned to look at the blue-haired girl who was sorting books next to her.
Levy pushed up his glasses and pointed to a list in the corner of the task board.
"How about this? Look for a book called <Sunrise>. The original reward was only 20,000 J, but just now the president said that the client suddenly increased the reward."
"How many more?" Lucy's eyes lit up.
"Two million J."
"Two... two million?!"
Lucy was shocked. You can get two million for finding this book? This is pie in the sky!
"I want this mission!"
Before Lucy could reach out, a flaming hand had already torn off the sheet.
"Two million? That's mine!"
Natsu held the task list and shouted excitedly.
"Natsu! That was what Levy saw first!" Lucy angrily went to grab it.
"Whoever grabs it gets it! Happy, we are going to get rich!"
The two men and one cat immediately started fighting each other.
