Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 690: Enchanted

"Wow~!"

The golden amber wine swirls and rolls in the transparent goblet, and the rich and refreshing aroma spreads.

Although she hasn't tasted it yet, Ashley has already sensed the value of this wine from the aroma.

"'Sunshine Golden Port' is indeed a rare wine in the snowy plains."

"Come on, give it a try."

"Thank you."

Looking at the wine glass handed to her by Li En, Ashe reached out and took it. Her slightly cold fingertips touched Li En's fingers for a moment.

"cheers."

"Haha~! Cheers."

"Ding~!"

The wine glasses clink gently, and the taste of amber wine blooms on the tip of the tongue.

"Hoo~!"

Smelling the taste of 'Golden Porter of the Burning Sun', soon both glasses were empty, and Ashe subconsciously looked at the bottle on the table.

"How is it? How does it taste?"

"Uh..."

Facing Li En's gaze, a blush flashed across Ashe's face.

“Well...it tastes good..."

"Haha~! I think so too."

Li En had already anticipated Ashe's answer.

After all, in the Winter Claw tribe, Ashe had eaten the tea leaves directly from the tea. For a war mother who lived a simple life and provided materials for the lives of her tribesmen, wine tasting, an activity reserved for the "upper class", was still too far away from her.

The reason why he asked the question was that Li En really liked to see the shy look on the face of Ashe, the cold and rational mother of war. It was a little bit of a bad taste.

"Well, would you like some more?"

"Sure, uh...thank you."

"You're welcome. It's an honor for the 'Reincarnation of Avarosa' to taste this bottle of 'Fiery Sun Gold Port'."

"Li En you..."

Ashe finally reacted to such an obvious teasing. She puffed up her cheeks slightly and looked at Li En with some embarrassment.

"Haha~! Just kidding. In my opinion, Ashe is Ashe. She will definitely be able to rival or even surpass Avarosa in the future!"

"You and I..."

Facing Li En's calm and sincere, gentle eyes that were impossible to have in the Freljord, Ashe's slightly puffed cheeks instantly deflated and she lowered her head to avoid his sight.

"Okay, come and enjoy."

"...Um."

Under the rich aroma of 'Sunny Golden Port', Ashe temporarily suppressed her shyness and raised her hand to take the wine glass handed to her by Li En.

Taking a sip of the wine and savoring it carefully, Ashley looked at Li En who was sitting on a bench.

"Um... Li En, can you tell me about your life before coming to Freljord?"

"Okay, didn't I tell you last time about me and Bomb Sweeping the Streets? I'll tell you about what happened in Zaun."

"Um, okay."

Ashe leaned forward slightly with the wine glass in hand, her icy blue eyes gazing at Li En curiously.

"Zuan is a place..."

...

"Wow~!"

The amber wine was poured into the glass, and Ashe subconsciously reached out to take it.

Through the cup and the wine, Li En's figure has already appeared as a double image.

"Li En...what are you...swaying about? Are you drunk? Do you want me to help you get some rest?"

"No, I'm not shaking, it's you, Ashley, who's drunk."

Seeing a layer of blush on Ashley's flawless fair face and neck, Li En looked at the cup in his hand with some confusion.

Although he could taste that the alcohol content of the 'Golden Sun' was higher than what he had drunk in the tavern before, the drunken look was indeed a bit strange for an 'Iceborn' with pure blood like Ashe.

"Ashe, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I...no...I'm fine..."

He stretched out his hand and placed it on Ashe's forehead. After careful feeling, he found that Ashe's condition was normal, just a typical state of drunkenness.

"Okay, let's stop here for tonight. I'll take you back to your room to rest."

"Well...I...I can drink more..."

"Okay, let's drink somewhere else. Which room do you usually sleep in?"

"There...there."

Looking at Ashe, who was drunk and fooled by Li En's different words, Li En took the wine glass from her hand, then gently picked her up from the bench and walked in the direction he pointed.

"Click~!"

The door opened, and a room that looked very simple compared to the hall outside appeared in Li En's eyes.

After putting Ashe down, Li En squatted down and took off her boots. After covering her with a quilt, he stood up and turned to leave.

"Crack~!"

The white hand held Li En, and Ashley, leaning on the pillow, pursed her lips but made no sound.

Seeing this, Li En took a step forward, stood beside the bed and leaned closer to her.

"What's wrong Ash, is there anything else?"

"Um..."

Hearing the voice, Ashe slowly opened her eyes and looked at the face in front of her in a daze.

"Lee...Lee En?"

"Well, it's me."

"Why are you... in my room?"

Ash turned his head left and right to take in the layout of the room.

"I..."

With her long, well-proportioned arms wrapped around Lee En's neck, Ashe leaned in directly.

After a while, Ashe let go of Li En a little, looked at the face in front of him carefully, and breathed on Li En's face with the scent of 'Scorching Sun Golden Port'.

"That's great. I really dreamed about you tonight."

"Ashe, this is not..."

Li En was about to explain, but Ashe, who was now in an abnormal state, interrupted him directly.

"Li En, do you know? I regret my hesitation. It was Lady Anivia who personally guided me to find you, but I hesitated and observed you again and again.

That day, I watched you fly over the city of Avarosa and face the back of the Scarlet Devil. It was the first time I felt so ‘at ease’ since my mother died and my Iceborn bloodline awakened.

Before I saw the letter you sent me, looking at the devastated land, I just wanted to find you, or that demon god. Even if I died, I would shoot the strongest arrow at him with my life at stake! "

Ashe said this, she moved her right hand in front of Lee En and stroked his face gently and carefully.

"But you did it, you defeated the demon, saved me, and saved the Avarosa tribe.

Li En, I really regret why I didn't express my feelings to you that night in Winter's Claw."

"Okay, I understand. Don't think too much and take a good rest."

Li En gently rubbed Ai Xi's snow-white and smooth long hair, and was about to take away her left hand that was still hooked around his neck.

However, this action made Ashe hug him with both arms.

"Ashe you..."

Seeing the excitement and shyness flashing across Ashe's eyes, Li En finally realized that he had been tricked again.

Maybe Ashe was really drunk before, but since she grabbed me, she has sobered up. Her mind is intoxicated but the body is not. The drunken look just now was just a disguise.
