Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 67 How about I press it for you

It's winter.

Speaking of which, Su Chi has lived in Shanghai for more than two years, but he has never seen snowfall every winter, but the temperature drops very quickly.

Because he has a beautiful woman by his side, Su Chi is in a very happy mood these days.

Ai Tutu went home a few days after the holiday, and since Mu Nujiao was a native of Shanghai, she was not in a hurry to go back, but stayed with Su Chi in the rented house for a few more days.

It was drizzling that day.

Su Chi and Mu Nujiao both stayed at home and did not go out.

On the sofa, Mu Nujiao was lying on her side in pajamas, reading a magic book in her hands.

Su Chi sat beside her legs, also slowly flipping through an old antique book with slightly yellowed pages.

This was a book he borrowed from the pile of books on the second floor of the hunting lodge. It described the history of the magical world, and he was very interested in this kind of knowledge.

The sound of rain was dripping outside, but inside the house the only sound was the occasional flipping of books. Both of them were very focused on their own work and did not make any unusual noise.

I do not know how long it has been.

Su Chi suddenly felt something soft rubbing against his left arm. He turned around and saw a small foot wearing white silk socks.

My eyes followed the long white legs upwards, and what came into view was a slightly flushed face.

"Su Chi, I'm hungry."

The girl's eyes were still fixed on the book in her hands.

"Okay, you wait."

A smile appeared in Su Chi's eyes. Then he stood up, put the old antique aside, and walked towards the kitchen.

Through these days of being alone together under the same roof, the relationship between the two has become closer.

Ever since Su Chi cooked a meal himself the day Ai Tutu returned, Mu Nujiao stopped ordering takeout these days and always found ways to ask Su Chi to cook for her.

Since his water element had just broken through to a high level not long ago, Su Chi had been basically in a relaxed state these days and had not been practicing hard, so he was happy to cook.

Mu Nujiao caught a glimpse of Su Chi walking towards the kitchen, and then she turned her head slightly to look at his back, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

After lunch.

Mu Nujiao began her daily meditation. She sat upright on the sofa with an exceptionally graceful posture. On her wrist was a bracelet with a special luster, the light of which brightened and dimmed with the frequency of her breathing. This was the Nebula Magic Weapon provided to her by the Mu family, and it looked to be of good quality.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Su Chi felt extremely warm in his heart.

The time is approaching evening.

Su Chi was sitting on the sofa flipping through an ancient book. In front of him, Mu Nujiao was practicing yoga attentively.

However, the graceful curves of her figure always attracted his attention, making it difficult for him to concentrate on reading.

Su Chi was still busy preparing dinner.

After dinner, Mu Nujiao took out a bottle of wine she had brought from the wine cabinet.

At some point, the light emitted by the artistic chandelier hanging on the ceiling of the indoor void area was no longer cold white, but a somewhat ambiguous warm color.

"Why do you want to have a drink today?" Su Chi took the wine glass handed to him by Mu Nujiao with confusion.

These days, after dinner, the two of them would sit on the sofa and chat, and then go back to their rooms to sleep when it was almost time. Unexpectedly, today Mu Nujiao actually took out a bottle of wine.

"I'll be back tomorrow," Mu Nujiao said after taking a sip of wine. She really enjoyed her current life, but her family had been urging her to go back these past few days, so she was feeling a little down for a while.

"."

Hearing this, Su Chi fell silent. To be honest, he had already gotten used to the girl's presence.

Now that Mu Nujiao is gone, he will have to stay alone in this cold room again during this winter vacation.

After a moment of silence, Su Chi put down his wine glass and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Just go back. It can be seen that the Mu family treats you well. They even equipped you with a Nebula Magic Weapon."

"It's just a deal," Mu Nujiao shook her head slightly.

"trade?"

"You were not born into a noble family, so you don't understand their way of survival." Mu Nujiao smiled bitterly.

"Can you explain it in detail?" Su Chi raised his wine glass and gently clinked it with Mu Nujiao's.

Mu Nujiao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then leaned back lazily and curled up on the sofa.

"Among the disciples of the aristocratic families, there are actually two types."

"One type is those who are idle and use their status as disciples of aristocratic families to commit crimes. They eat and drink at the family's expense and appear to be very carefree, but as soon as the family needs them, they have to hand over everything they have."

Hearing Mu Nujiao emphasize the word "everything", Su Chi seemed to understand.

Everything naturally includes everything, freedom, faith, personality, and life!

"The other type is like me, relying on the resources provided by the family to grow stronger. However, this is essentially like a loan. I have to return the same amount of resources I have taken from the family in the future. If I can repay them in the future, that's fine. Otherwise, the family will use everything I have to slowly repay this part of the loan."

I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol, but Mu Nujiao said a lot and Su Chi listened very carefully.

"To be honest, I envy Tutu." Mu Nujiao spoke again.

"Are you envious of her?" Su Chi also smiled after hearing this.

He knew that Ai Tutu had always envied Mu Nujiao, her looks and figure, her extraordinary temperament, and her ability to handle things.
"Tutu's family is very powerful, but her family would not ask her to do these things. They seemed to be training Tutu like a princess. I still remember when I first met her, she was very naive and innocent. She was curious about everything, but she didn't know anything."

Su Chi nodded.

He knew this. Ai Tutu seemed to be the only legitimate daughter of the Ai family in the Northern Military Region. The elder men of the Ai family had all devoted themselves to the front line of resisting demons, and even her brother Ai Jiangtu was training in the military academy. Therefore, Ai Tutu, the apple of the eye, had enjoyed the love and care of the entire family since she was born.

"So you are very disgusted with your current identity?" Su Chi picked up the wine glass and shook it gently.

"No." Mu Nujiao shook her head.

"I'm actually very grateful to the Mu family. They provided me with resources that allowed me to surpass those civilian mages. Loans actually have more benefits than disadvantages for the family's children. After all, many people can obtain such resources by selling their bodies."

"I'm just worried that if I keep asking for things but fail to meet the family's expectations, then everything I have will be returned to the family."

After hearing what Mu Nujiao said, Su Chi was silent for a while, his brows first furrowed, then relaxed.

"Don't think too much. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Just focus on improving your strength now."

"of course."

Mu Nujiao is actually very strong-willed. She was just sighing a little just now, and she will definitely not admit defeat now.

Seeing Mu Nujiao lying there, Su Chi stared into her eyes and slowly leaned over.

"I think you seem to have drunk a little too much. Does your head hurt? How about I give you a massage?"

Their eyes met, and Mu Nujiao felt Su Chi's somewhat hot gaze, and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
