Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

Gu Sui Nuan took the cake from Elrod's hand and placed it on Jenny's table. When Gu Sui Nuan realized the problem, Elrod was looking at her with a sad and resentful look.

"They can eat it, but I can't?" Elrod looked at Gu Sui Nuan steadily, his voice seemed to be choked with sobs.

"No, yours isn't healed yet."

Gu Sui Nuan pointed to the oven. The cake base was still baking and the cream was only half done.

This incident can only be described as a coincidence. Gu Sui Nuan did not expect that Ian and his friends would buy strawberry cake after they came back from buying ingredients.

Seeing that Gu Sui Nuan wanted to cook a cake, Ian thought she wanted to eat it too, so he cut a piece for her and put it on her table.

Gu Sui Nuan explained to them that this was not what she wanted to eat, but was made for Elrod. Ian said he understood, but he hadn't had time to take the cake on the table.

Originally, Gu Suinuan thought that since she had been away for such a long time without saying anything, Elrod must be very worried, so she might as well make a cake by herself to apologize.

But who would have thought that when they were halfway through, while Ian and Jenny were still eating, Elrod would come.

Elrod looked at the remaining cake on the table, then looked at the half-finished product, with his brows lowered, no emotion visible in his eyes.

"I understand. I won't compete with them."

Why does it feel like what he knows is different from what Gu Sui Nuan wants to express?

"Priest Elrod has misunderstood. The cake in the oven is made by Miss Shan Xi for you. She was afraid that you couldn't finish it, so she asked you to wait. If you are unhappy, this can also be left for you."

Ian looked understanding and explained, pushing the remaining cake on the table towards Elrod.

It was like giving alms to Elrod.

Elrod clenched his fists in his sleeves. He tried to stay calm and went to see Sui Nuan, but saw her nodding in agreement.

Although Ian's tone was a little strange, what he said was indeed correct. Gu Sui Nuan was afraid that Elrod would eat too much, so she asked him to wait, not because she was unwilling to give him food.

"Are you too hungry? Do you want to have some candy first?" Gu Sui Nuan took out the candy prepared in the space and handed it to Elrod.

Elrod looked at Gu Suinuan's exposed palm and was a little surprised. When he took the candy, he touched it tentatively. The soft and warm palm looked so real.

"You are a physical entity now? ...Why?"

Elrod was originally happy, but when he thought about the brother and sister who appeared inexplicably, and the fact that he had been with Gu Sui Nuan for so long, she never showed up, Elrod always felt that the answer was not what he wanted to know.

"Elrod, do you remember what I once told you, that if you said you loved me, I would let you see what I looked like?"

Gu Sui Nuan began to make up stories.

"Actually, what I didn't tell you at that time was that the reason I have always been invisible and intangible is because I was cursed. As long as someone says they love me from the bottom of their hearts, I can turn back into a physical body."

Gu Sui Nuan said this, turning his gaze towards Ian who was sitting at the table. The answer was self-evident.

An inexplicable irritation surged in Elrod's heart, and he couldn't help but step forward to block Gu Sui Nuan's sight.

Elrod's action made Gu Suinuan's thoughts pause for a moment before he continued.

"I left for the border this time. Ian and I are old acquaintances, both from countries across the sea. I learned that he was in trouble, so I went to help. On the way back, he expressed his feelings to me, so I regained my physical form."

"Do you like him too?" Elrod said with a gritted teeth.

Considering that Elrod's favorability has now reached 76, it's normal to feel a little unhappy.

Gu Sui Nuan thought about it and decided that as long as Elrod knew that she was a physical entity now, it would be fine. As for whether she liked Ian or not, it didn’t seem to matter that much.

"...He has done me a favor. At least if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to appear in front of people."

Seeing that Gu Sui Nuan hesitated for so long before giving such an ambiguous answer, Elrod's eyes darkened a little.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Shanxi, I will keep pursuing you until the day you accept me." Ian on the side added fuel to the fire.

"Has he seen what you look like?" Elrod didn't want to pay attention to Ian. Looking at Gu Sui Nuan who was still wearing the mask, he asked again.

"Yes, my brother and I have seen her. She is very beautiful." This time it was Jenny who answered first.

Gu Sui Nuan nodded.

In order to confirm the magic weapon's effect, Gu Sui Nuan showed them his transformed appearance. He looked like a complete foreigner, with red hair, blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features.

"Even she has seen it? ...But you can't let me see it?"

Elrod looked at Gu Suinuan still wearing a mask in the house, obviously guarding against Elrod, and he looked so sad that he was about to break.

Gu Sui Nuan felt that this topic could not be continued, so she popped her head out and motioned to Ian to leave first.

"Jenny, are you full? Let's go back to the room and rest."

Ian saw what Gu Sui Nuan meant, so he grabbed Jenny who was still eating the cake and left.

Jenny was still holding the cake in her hand and was pulled out of the kitchen by Ian.

Judging from the noise they made, they should have gone straight upstairs.

"The stuff in the oven is about to get burnt, let me fix the cake first. Elrod, wait for me a moment."

Gu Sui Nuan abruptly changed the subject and started to busy herself with the cake.

Elrod didn't say anything, just stood aside and looked at Gu Sui Nuan.

"By the way, I heard that your mark is gone? Who helped you to cancel the contract?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Sui Nuan asked the key point.

"No one helped me. They used a sleight of hand to erase the mark, but it's still there. Tomorrow I'm going to ask the Pekka family for help."

Because Gu Sui Nuan was not there, Elrod had to find a way to solve these problems by himself. He had originally planned to go to the appointment alone, but he didn't expect Gu Sui Nuan to come back by chance.

"It just so happens. Then I'll go with you, just as we agreed before. I can watch from the dark. And bring Ian and Jenny along, it's safer with more people."

Although Gu Sui Nuan guessed that the person behind the scenes would not appear so soon, there was no guarantee that he would not secretly watch. As long as he was nearby, even if he stayed for a short time, Ian and Jenny would be able to lock on to his scent.

"Will they protect you?" Elrod was more concerned about this.

Gu Sui Nuan nodded.

"Okay, then take them with you."

Elrod seemed to have recovered a lot. He sat at the table, watching Gu Suinan prepare the strawberry cake and put it in front of him. He quietly finished his portion before saying goodbye and leaving the small house.

Seeing Elrod recover, Gu Suinuan breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt a little guilty when facing Elrod.

Because his favorability didn't change, Gu Sui Nuan wasn't sure what he was thinking, so she could only deal with the person behind the scenes and then explain it to him.

Elrod returned to the cathedral and went to the window again.

He watched the candles on the second floor of the small house light up again, and felt his tense heart finally calm down.

As long as she comes back, it's enough. As for the annoying people, he will deal with them.

Magic power flows through Elrod's fingertips, and now he can easily stop time if he wants.
