After she finished speaking, Alice stared at Lai Mu without blinking.
Those eyes were as deep as a lake, making Lai Mu feel that his little thoughts would be exposed by the person in front of him in the next second.
One second, two seconds... five seconds passed, and Alice still said nothing.
Lai Mu turned his head away awkwardly, not looking into her eyes.
"You...don't agree?"
"you guess?"
Lai Mu was suddenly overwhelmed, with black lines running down his forehead to the ground. He had never hated keeping people in suspense as much as he did now.
"Pfft..."
Alice suddenly smiled slyly, "Okay, okay...I agree."
She put one hand on Lai Mu's long hair and rubbed it gently, "Are you angry? Then... I'll apologize to you, okay... After I apologize, you won't be angry with me anymore."
Alice's voice was soft and a little hoarse, like a sip of ice in July. Her breath brought a light warm air blowing on Lai Mu's neck, as if a small hand was constantly teasing his nerves, making him feel a little restless.
"…Is it a deal?"
Alice tilted her head again, staring at him without blinking, which made people feel guilty unconsciously.
"But I don't know anything about the head maid's job. Do you think I can do it well?"
Lai Mu subconsciously used a spoon to pick up the rice on the plate. "Of course, you can... find some tutorials. The Internet is so developed now."
"Then it's a deal."
Lai Mu breathed a sigh of relief and was very excited. "Then I'll contact you in a few days to come and join the company. It will take about half a month to a month."
I finally got the blonde maid...it wasn't easy!
After lunch.
Alice has another exam in the afternoon, so Lai Mu has to go back first.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, the two hugged each other gently according to American etiquette. Alice whispered in Lai Mu's ear, "I'm very happy today. Do you want your sister to give you a goodbye kiss?"
Lai Mu shuddered and her voice rang in his ears again.
"You're kidding."
"Well, I...I should go..."
The blonde elder sister stood with her hands behind her back, watching Lai Mu's fleeing back. A slight smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox on the snowy mountain. "What a lovely and teasing girl..."
Lai Mu walked around and arrived at the school gate.
Along the way, he was reflecting on whether he was being too obvious.
I always feel that the rhythm of the conversation is unconsciously controlled by Alice. Is she too eager?
Even when talking to that old SHIELD agent Nick Fury, he was able to keep his composure...
……
As the old saying goes, those who love Helen will always ignore the gifts of Hera and Athena.
Lai Mu is like this, and Alice is no exception.
Alice never believed that free pie would fall from the sky, but she was willing to step into the trap set by Lai Mu.
Outside the school gate.
The black car that Lai Mu came in was parked on the side of the road.
Happy was sleeping soundly in the driver's seat, snoring rhythmically and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Lai Mu raised his hand and tapped the car window, "Happy? Happy, wake up!"
Happy shuddered violently and opened his eyes, looking confused. He rubbed his eyes with his hands before he saw Lai Mu standing outside the car.
"Hey, you're out. How long have I been sleeping?"
"About... the whole morning? I brought you lunch, eat it before you leave."
Lai Mu raised the bag in his hand, which contained the fried rice he got from the cafeteria.
Chapter 51. My luxurious seaside villa
Los Angeles Tech student housing.
After the exam, Miss Alice, who had been busy all day, was planning to have a good sleep.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw my best friend Nicole, who was only wearing her underwear and a white gauze half-draped.
My silly best friend was holding her textbook, looking like she was about to cry and had no desire to live.
Nicole always dresses boldly in the dormitory, and Alice has gotten used to it. She is also used to her crying appearance all the time.
"What's wrong with your expression?"
Nicole jumped up and ran to Alice for comfort, waving her hands and wanting to pounce on her.
"Alice! I might have failed the exam! What should I do? Will I fail? I don't want to fail, wuwuwu..."
"Oh."
Alice's forehead was full of black lines, and she responded perfunctorily.
This guy always says that he failed the exams, but in fact he never failed a course from freshman to junior year. How should those who really failed survive?
She pushed Nicole away with great effort, "Alright, alright, I don't know you yet."
"Go back and sit down. I just returned tens of thousands of dollars' worth of snacks to the owner. She didn't ask you to pay for the piece you ate. Can you rest assured now?"
"Really?"
"real."
"Great! Alice is awesome! Alice is the best!"
Nicole, who had just sat down, stood up again. Alice stepped back alertly, "Sit down! Stop touching me."
Nicole sat on the bed obediently, looking up, "You look very happy today? Normally you would have hit me if I did this."
Oh, you are quite self-aware.
Alice rolled her eyes seductively and sat down next to Nicole.
"I was late for the exam today, and Mountbatten was the invigilator, but she didn't make things difficult for me. She even smiled at me for the first time. It was really strange."
"Old witch?? She never smiles! No one has ever seen it!"
"Ouch! Stop swearing. It's rude."
"That's what everyone calls her... Who makes her look so gloomy every day, making a big fuss out of nothing..."
……
/——————
Generally speaking, the Spring Festival comes a few days after the exam week.
But most Americans do not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, except in places like Chinatown.
Americans have their own Christmas and New Year's Day.
Lai Mu was the only one in the empty and deserted villa.
Tony Stark ran away with his little lover Pepper to enjoy some time alone.
Lai Mu sat quietly all night, listening to the sound of the waves.
The waves surged, rolling up layer by layer, until the sky turned white.
As the sun rose and hung high above his head, Lai Mu received good news from Stephenson, the owner of the construction company.
The villa had been completely built, from the main structure to the interior decoration, and Stephenson informed him that he could move in that day.
Lai Mu took out the Ghost Armor, flew from the top of the hill on this side to the top of the hill on the other side, and landed on the rooftop of the newly built villa. It took only a dozen seconds.
The structure of the villa was designed by Lai Mu himself and handed over to a construction company for supplement and construction.
Two and a half floors above ground and one floor underground.
In the morning, the salty and fragrant sea breeze blew gently across the rooftop and into Lai Mu's nose, making him think of spicy squid, charcoal-grilled tuna, steamed lobster... Stop.
In one corner of the rooftop is a semi-open-air bar. From this angle, all you can see is an empty table and equally empty shelves.
There is a hidden mezzanine between the rooftop and the second floor. Lai Mu plans to deploy anti-aircraft firepower in it. The plan includes interceptor missiles, intelligent anti-aircraft machine guns, and laser interception systems.
It is worth mentioning that the research and manufacture of high-energy laser weapons have been completed. Now when encountering armor like Iron Overlord, lasers can be used to cut it in half. The laser interception system of the villa is modified based on this, weakening the maximum power and increasing the laser continuity and equipment durability.
May the force be with you, Amen.
Lai Mu went down the stairs to the second floor, where there was a huge living room with sea view.
The side facing the sea is a 120-degree one-way glass, through which you can enjoy the beautiful sea and tides. It is made of high-tech materials and can also be used as a large screen at other times.
There is also a large fireplace in the living room, and the sofa and table are based on the layout of the Stark family. Lai Mu likes this atmosphere very much, which is more relaxed and comfortable.
In addition, there is a master bedroom, second bedroom, study, etc. on the second floor.
As you continue walking down, you will find the kitchen, dining room, gym, garage and laundry room on the first floor.
Outside the gate is a huge armored lifting platform with a diameter of 16 meters. The middle can be opened, and there is a passage underneath that connects directly to the underground studio.
The underground studio is planned to be equipped with various high-tech equipment required for armor research and manufacturing, and a part of it will be separated as an armor display room. Of course, it is currently empty.
The villa is equipped with a comprehensive intelligent control system, which is usually managed by the Great Sage, who is responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the villa. After the defense system is built, it will also be controlled by the Great Sage. When it is necessary to leave the control of the Great Sage, it will be taken over by low-level AI.
Speaking of the Great Sage, Leimu had created a secret file codenamed "Battle Angel" a long time ago...
It was a gorgeous design that was no less than the armor of ghosts and gods, and the technology and materials used were half a generation ahead of those of ghosts and gods.
Back in the living room on the second floor, Lai Mu opened the dimensional space.
