[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

When Hephaestus said this, he gently stroked Zhi Geng's hair with his hand, and twisted a few strands of wet hair back and forth with his fingertips.

This is not like the action that Hephaestus would make. This deity always puts his posture too low in front of him, and he hardly dares to take a step out of the pool. It seemed extremely natural.

Zhi Geng stared into his eyes, trying to see different emotions in those dark eyes.But to his disappointment, apart from the flashing mist, there was only passion and admiration.Hephaestus loved Aphrodite very much, or rather, loved him very much.

"You want me to be happy?"

"Well, I think you are happy." Hephaestus nodded.

Zhi Geng sneered: "As long as I am happy, you will not be angry at anything?"

Hephaestus put down his hand stroking Zhi Geng's hair, and stopped talking.

"Here," Zhi Geng pulled Hephaestus's robe, revealing the hickey on his collarbone: "Aren't you angry when you see this?"

Seeing the ambiguous red hickey, Hephaestus pursed his lips, and looked away with some discomfort.

Zhi Geng directly held Hephaestus's face, turned him to face her, and asked persistently, "Because I feel unworthy, so I don't even feel jealous?"

In the last half of the sentence, Zhi Geng's tone was a bit cold, even a bit aggressive.

Now Hephaestus finally stopped evading, "That's not the case!" He turned up the volume.

"Oh? What's that like?" Zhi Geng sneered.

"I'm just...just..." Hephaestus began to stammer again, and his voice dropped again, as if rolling out of his throat, making him even hoarse.

[Kui Yin: Cough cough... that... Let's do an interview, dear, how did you manage to cuckold Vulcan and still wear it so righteously? ]

[Shut up, don't bother me about the strategy. ]

[Kuiyin: Isn't the strategy finished! ]

[Kui Yin: Heh, man! ]

"Just what?" Zhi Geng leaned forward, and the hand that was holding Hephaestus' face changed to wrap around Hephaestus' neck.

Zhi Geng pressed his face to Hephaestus's, put his lips next to Hephaestus' ear, lowered his voice, and said seductively: "Just what? Tell me..."

Hephaestus stopped talking again, but what was different this time was that it was no longer because he didn't know how to answer, but because he was too nervous, and the tips of his ears began to turn red and hot. Then, the aroma lingering in the hair flowed into Hephaestus's nose more unhindered, and then was deeply inhaled into his lungs.

Hephaestus' heart began to beat uncontrollably again.

"Hades and I didn't make it to the end." Zhi Geng explained.

The moment the words fell, Zhi Geng clearly felt that Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief.

[Kuiyin: It seems that she still cares about it! ]

Regarding Kuiyin's words, Zhi Geng was noncommittal, and instead of sitting sideways, he sat on Hephaestus' lap.

Feeling the other party's stiff body at this moment, Zhi Geng smiled wickedly.

Hearing Zhi Geng's laughter, Hephaestus felt even more nervous, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his originally dull face.He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Zhi Geng has seen this kind of experience on Hephaestus too much. This god, sometimes it's really awkward to be dumb. Like facial paralysis.

However, his eyes are always mixed with the most sincere love and fiery emotions.

It's really a bit contradictory.

"Hephaestus, I have a question on my mind."

"What... what?" Even though he had already had the deepest skin-to-skin kiss, Hephaestus was still so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Zhi Geng narrowed his eyes, and slowly said: "I'm thinking, is your dull personality natural? Or is it caused by some reason?"

Hephaestus' Adam's apple moved, and he spit out a few words: "I don't know."

Zhi Geng couldn't help laughing, he opened his mouth, and bit Hephaestus' earlobe mischievously, after Hephaestus' body trembled slightly because of his sudden movement, Then he said again: "Yes, you don't know anything." After a pause, Zhi Geng changed his voice, "But sometimes I feel that you know everything."

"Hephaestus, my dear companion, tell me, is it because I am thinking too much?" Zhi Geng sat up straight again, facing Hephaestus.

[Kui Yin: Hephaestus replied: I don't know. ]

[………]

"Aphrodite, do you...do you think I'm boring..." Hephaestus lowered his eyes and asked in a muffled voice.

"What if I say yes?" Zhi Geng asked back.

Hephaestus stopped talking again, and this time not only lowered his eyes, but also lowered his head.So the long red hair changed to cover his face. This kind of Hephaestus made Zhi Geng very disliked, which meant that he would not be able to see Hephaestus' expression clearly, and what he wanted to see It was every change of expression on Hephaestus' face.

Zhi Geng frowned, grabbed Hephaestus's hair and pulled it up, forcing him to raise his head.

"Look at me." Zhi Geng's tone was a bit forceful.

He looked straight into Hephaestus' eyes, not giving Hephaestus a chance to dodge.

Facing Zhi Geng so directly, Hephaestus' breathing became a little short.

Zhi Geng's hand caressed the scar on Hephaestus's face. This hideous scar spanned the entire face of Hephaestus, as ugly as a centipede, destroying the overall beauty.Zhi Geng's fingertips were smooth and delicate, just touching this scar felt like burning his hands.

"Hephaestus, my dear, how did this scar come about?"

It seems that Zhi Geng's words reminded Hephaestus of bad memories, his expression was a little gloomy,

"When I fell off the cliff, it was scratched by a sharp stone."

Zhi Geng remembered that in the original Greek mythology, Hera threw Hephaestus from a high cliff because Hephaestus was too ugly, and the leg of Hephaestus, the god of fire, was also limped because of this. This made Hephaestus the ugliest god in Greek mythology.

However, such a conclusion does not seem to apply to Hephaestus in front of him.

He felt more than once that if Hephaestus had no scars on his face, he must be a very handsome god, and if the scars on Hephaestus' face were caused by falling off a cliff, it meant that Hera had abandoned him Hephaestus' face was intact at the time.Even Hephaestus, who has scars now, can still be seen to be a bit handsome, let alone Hephaestus, who was born without scars, will certainly not look too bad, even if he is not very good-looking, That has absolutely nothing to do with being ugly.

However, it is a well-known fact that Hephaestus, the god of fire, was abandoned by the Queen of Heaven because he was too ugly.

[Kuiyin: Maybe this is just a bug! ]

[………]

[Kui Yin: Besides, many people who were ugly when they were young turn out to be handsome when they grow up. This is not contradictory!I said! ]

[dumbass. ]

"Does it hurt? At that time."

[Kui Yin: Silly, even a normal person would feel pain! ]

"It doesn't hurt." Hephaestus shook his head.

[Kui Yin:…………]

[Kui Yin: I am determined not to take back what I just said. Hephaestus is not a normal person, he is a fool, and he will not accept rebuttals! ]

Not wanting Kuiyin to continue chattering in the sea of ​​consciousness, Zhi Geng directly cut off the connection with the sea of ​​consciousness.

"I didn't understand anything at that time," Hephaestus said.

Zhi Geng pinched Hephaestus' face: "You are quite stupid now."

Perhaps it was because this was the first time that Zhigeng cared about Hephaestus's past, the god of craftsmen full of forging and smelting talents gradually became less cramped and nervous.

His body that had been tense since Zhi Geng sat on his lap also relaxed at this moment.

Seeing the changes in Hephaestus calmly, Zhi Geng said again: "After that, the goddesses of the sea, Thetis and Eurynome, rescued you and brought you up?"

"Well," a smile overflowed from the corner of Hephaestus's lips, and he said sincere blessings in his hoarse voice: "They are the most beautiful goddesses, I am grateful to them, and wish them the best, they They are my most important family."

Zhi Geng raised his eyebrows, and asked jokingly: "Then what about me?"

Hephaestus stared at Zhi Geng for several seconds before replying, "It's different."

"You are different." Hephaestus repeated again, without stuttering, his tone was extremely solemn, his voice was deep and powerful.

"Aphrodite, I like you, and I value you more than my life."

Zhi Geng was slightly stunned for no other reason. At this moment, the look in Hephaestus' dark eyes was too serious, persistent and profound, and the emotion emerging from those pupils was too hot, as if a A flame is burning unconsciously, the high-energy heat can burn everything, and then solidify into a gray-black world, it is a dull and silent world, and Zhi Geng stands in his eyes, falling into this world. The world is tightly wrapped by this deep love.

Being stared at by Hephaestus, Zhi Geng felt strange, but it was only for a moment.He has traveled through countless worlds, and conquered too many people. The long years have already made his soul indifferent. Even in the face of Hephaestus' deep love, he couldn't really move him.

Zhi Geng smiled, got up and sat back next to Hephaestus, "Nothing is equal to life, dear Hephaestus."

"I..." Hephaestus wanted to say something, but Zhi Geng blocked his mouth with his index finger.

Hephaestus blinked his long eyelashes, and looked at Zhi Geng in confusion.

"Do you know, Hephaestus?" Zhi Geng leaned his head on Hephaestus' shoulder, looked over the scenery along the way, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Your sincerity and honesty make you even In the holy mountain where the gods gather, you are still different, this is your precious quality, and I hope you can keep it."

"Don't change it, it's fine."

The author has something to say: Vulcan: I am different from other gods!

Kui Yin: You idiot, what's the difference!

Vulcan: It's just different!

Kui Yin: Well, it is indeed different, the color of the hat is different!
