Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

The "Six Sixes Great Fortune" team has finally welcomed its first couple, much to everyone's delight, and they all send their blessings to them.

However, the two were so lovey-dovey that it was almost unbearable to watch. Ji Moyu was heartbroken and went out for a walk to clear her head; Puyang Minghui had been invited out by Liu Yan early in the morning; Auster had also left after giving his blessings, leaving Chu Qiuchi alone in the tent, forced to eat the saccharine dog food.

Before long, Chu Qiuchi couldn't stand the cloying atmosphere anymore. His eyes hurt so badly that he quietly slipped away to Ao Nanxi's tent, intending to find some peace and quiet.

Thinking of Auster's unusual behavior today, Chu Qiuchi asked curiously, "Nanxi, is today a special day?"

"Today? There doesn't seem to be anything special about today! What's wrong?" Ao Nanxi looked blank, clearly not understanding.

Chu Qiuchi reminded him, "Think carefully, it's related to Auster."

"It's related to my older brother? Let me think..." Ao Nanxi frowned, trying hard to recall. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she jumped up excitedly, "I've got it, Qiu Chi, I remember!"

She grabbed Chu Qiuchi's hand and pulled her up from the chair, saying excitedly, "Today is my older brother's birthday!"

"His birthday?" Chu Qiuchi was somewhat surprised, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Ao Nanxi nodded quickly, but then her expression turned dejected.

"It's his birthday, but he's never celebrated it in all these years. I don't know why, but my mother has never liked my eldest brother since he was little, and she doesn't allow us to celebrate his birthday. My second brother and I used to secretly give him gifts, but when my mother found out, we got a beating. After that, my eldest brother stopped celebrating his birthday and stopped accepting gifts from us."

"I see..." Chu Qiuchi nodded thoughtfully.

Auster specifically asked her out today, and there was an unusual seriousness in his eyes; he probably wanted someone to celebrate his birthday with him. It's just unclear whether it was a sudden whim or something more.

However, now that he knows, it seems a bit unreasonable not to prepare some birthday gift. But he obviously didn't tell anyone else, apparently just wanting to experience it a little.

Thinking of this, Chu Qiuchi had a sudden inspiration, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes. She glanced at the alarm clock on the table; it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so there was still time.

She quickly retrieved a pile of pots and pans from her mental space and laid them out deftly. Ao Nanxi stared in disbelief, then couldn't help but ask, "Qiu Chi, are you planning to cook?"

"Hmm!" Chu Qiuchi replied without looking up, "I want to make him a simple longevity noodle dish."

"Oh, okay, I'll help too, just to do my part." Ao Nanxi rolled up her sleeves and joined in enthusiastically.

The two worked together, and before long, a delicious and visually appealing bowl of longevity noodles was ready. Besides Auster's bowl, there was still quite a bit left in the pot. Onanxi couldn't help but sniff the air and exclaimed, "Wow, it smells so good! The rest is all mine!"

Afraid that Chu Qiuchi would snatch it from her, she quickly took the pot to the side and began to eat heartily.

Chu Qiuchi shook his head and chuckled, saying helplessly, "They're all yours, don't worry, no one's going to take them from you. You eat them, I'll take this to your older brother!"

Ao Nanxi slurped her noodles without looking up, casually waving her hand to signal her to hurry up.

Auster and Onanxi's camps were not far apart, and Chu Qiuchi, carrying a bowl, arrived in just a few steps.

When she lifted the curtain and went inside, a table and chairs had already been set out in Auster's tent. On the table were several exquisitely presented dishes, and in the center was a white porcelain vase filled with tulips of various colors, which looked exceptionally elegant.

Seeing her come in carrying a bowl of noodles, Auster raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised. "Qiu Chi, what's this?"

"Longevity noodles, wishing you a happy birthday and a carefree life year after year." Chu Qiuchi smiled slightly, her peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and the curve of her lips was just right, supporting a bright smile on her face.

Auster paused for a moment upon hearing this, then his smile gradually widened. This time, it was no longer a vague smile, but a genuine, hearty laugh, his eyes seemingly sparkling with countless stars, making his already stunning face even more captivating.

He said softly, "Thank you, Qiu Chi. This is the first time I've ever received a birthday gift like this."

Chu Qiuchi placed the bowl of noodles on the table and looked at him with a smile, "Try it quickly, it's simple but full of heart."

Auster picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of noodles, and savored it. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "It's delicious, even better than I expected."

Seeing his satisfied expression, Chu Qiuchi felt a warmth rise in her heart. "Is it delicious? Nanxi and I made it together. It's a small gift but a big token of our affection!"

Seeing that he was about to bite off the noodles to talk, Chu Qiuchi quickly stopped him, "Hey, you can't bite longevity noodles in half, you have to eat them in one bite."

Auster paused upon hearing this, then chuckled and continued slurping his noodles. Normally, his eating manners were impeccably elegant; it was rare to see him eat so casually. Even so, his movements were still pleasing to the eye.

Chu Qiuchi sat on the other side, chopsticks in hand, not touching a single bite of food, but his eyes were fixed on Auster's face. Before, he was like a bewitching demon, with a touch of aloofness and mystery; but now he was like a person of flesh and blood, warm and real.

After finishing his noodles, Auster looked up at Chu Qiuchi and said teasingly, "What? Stunned?"

Chu Qiuchi smiled broadly, making no attempt to hide his admiration, "It's hard not to be stunned! It's just so beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Auster burst into laughter, his laughter clear and cheerful, yet carrying a hint of alluring charm. "If you wish, you can watch it for a lifetime."

"Huh?" Chu Qiuchi was a little confused for a moment, blinking his eyes, a hint of doubt rising in his heart: He didn't mean it the way I thought, did he?

There was a moment of silence. Seeing this, Auster concealed his thoughts and joked lightly, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

From the very first day they met, he knew that Chu Qiuchi's heart belonged to Ji Moyu. Back then, watching their interactions only seemed amusing; he never imagined that after truly getting to know them… Perhaps it's hard for someone with a barren heart not to be drawn to the sun!
