Mage Joan

"Yeah, today is Ruby's 15th birthday, and we all have to listen to her." Mrs. Josephine asked Joan with a smile, "Don't say you forgot to prepare your birthday present!"

"How can it be!"

Qiao An first took out the bouquet and cake, then took out two beautifully wrapped gift boxes and handed them to the Countess and Miss Ruby respectively.

"Is this... perfume?"

Ruby opened the gift box, took out a delicate small bottle, and curiously looked at the transparent liquid in the bottle.

Professor Moriarty glanced, couldn't help raising his eyebrows and whistling in exaggeration.

"Joan, you are so generous!"

"It's just a little heart." Qiao An smiled embarrassedly, "Teacher, you already have the power of mythology and the look of immortality, I didn't prepare the same gift for you."

"It's very rare for your kid to have this kind of mind." Professor Moriarty said with satisfaction. "It can be seen that over the years you have not only made rapid progress in your studies and spell-casting ability, but also experienced in dealing with people. a lot of."

"Yes, children always grow up, and Joan has become much more mature than before."

Mrs. Josephine looked at the young mage with a loving smile on her lips.

Qiao An felt embarrassed when they said this, as if facing his biological parents, lest they would help themselves on a blind date next time.

Ruby dunked the mythological potion and burped, just wanting to criticize the tasteless taste of the potion, the restaurant manager and a waiter pushing the dining car came over.

The manager is an old friend of Mrs. Josephine. Knowing that today is Ruby’s birthday, he specially presented champagne and cakes. On the bottle buried in the ice bucket, there was also a picture wishing them "a family of four" happiness. Exquisite greeting card.

"A family of three," Mrs. Josephine pointed to Professor Moriarty and clarified to the restaurant manager: "The ex-husband is not a member of our family."

The manager was stunned for a moment, his face a little embarrassed.

Professor Moriarty owed half of his **** from the chair, aggrieved: "Then I will go?"

"You can leave after eating. Don't forget to pay the bill." Mrs. Josephine said with a smile.

Mr. Professor sat back angrily, took the knife and fork and cut the cake: "Then I can eat more, I have enough to eat!"

Qiao An couldn't help but laugh secretly in his eyes.

While drinking coffee after dinner, the "family of four" talked about the "Golden Rod Award" ceremony to be held at Midgard University tomorrow.

Professor Moriarty came back specially to attend the award-receiving ceremony of the proud disciple, and asked Qiao An thoughtfully if he was ready to wear the evening gown for the ceremony.

"You don't need to worry about this, I will help Joan prepare it." The countess took the stubbornly.

"Don't bother you, Rebecca has already made the order for me. The tailor of the Gulf Firm is said to have great craftsmanship." Qiao An said.

The countess sighed, half-truth and sadness, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes: "It feels like the baby son was taken away by the daughter-in-law, so sad!"

"Miss Ruby" also nodded in sympathy: "Ruby, I feel like my brother has been snatched away by a group of vixen who call themselves my sister-in-law, so sad!"

"You two are enough, almost done!" Professor Moriarty couldn't laugh or cry.

Qiao An put down the coffee cup and said to the professor and the countess: "You two talk slowly. I'll try to see if the dress fits. Ruby will come with me."

"Wait a minute! Ruby, I haven't finished the strawberry cake yet!"

"When I get to the street, I will buy you something more delicious."

Qiao An couldn't help but dragged Ruby away.

It's rare that other old couples and old wives have the opportunity to get along alone, so what's the fun of your little girl!

Ruby is still young and unreasonable.

The young mage secretly praised his well-developed emotional intelligence, and couldn't help feeling a little fluttering.

As soon as she walked out of the hotel door, "Miss Ruby" protested angrily:

"Ruby, I have to try everything you see on the road, and you will ruin Brother Smelly!"

Qiao An squinted her and said calmly: "It's impossible for me to go bankrupt. Be careful to break your belly."

Ruby knew this was the truth herself, and changed the subject angrily.

"Brother Qiao'an, besides Ruby me, how many girlfriends do you have?"

"You don't need to be except you! By the way, you have been traveling around the country with the countess all these years, have you met a little brother that suits your heart?"

"Well, good-looking, humorous, and versatile... have all met a lot, but in a comprehensive comparison, you are still the best." Ruby said solemnly.

Qiao An smiled and calmly helped her analyze it.

"Maybe your synthesis method is biased. You need to know the correlations obtained when grouping statistical data. When combined, it may show the opposite correlation. Let me talk about how many samples of boys you have collected, and the advantages and disadvantages. I’ll help you optimize the algorithm for how to assign weights and what mathematical models are used.”

Ruby raised her hand to support her forehead and let out a long sigh.

"Look at you, saying something serious again that others don't understand! Well, that's why I like you!"

The siblings were walking and chatting, and when they met a street stall selling snacks, Ruby stopped moving.

Qiao Ann had to pay for a cup of tamarind tea for her.

Ruby took a sip, her face wrinkled immediately, and she held the cup and handed it to him.

"Brother Qiao'an, you can drink the rest."

"I won't drink the rest of you. If you want to buy, you have to drink it all by yourself!"

Qiao An smelled a pungent sour gas from a distance from the teacup, guessed what it was like, and quickly pulled off his legs.

"You drink it! Brother Qiao'an, do you drink it!"

Ruby was holding the cup and chasing after it perseveringly.

When I was approaching the Gulf Business, a familiar dog barked suddenly from the corner of the street. Qiao An stopped and followed the reputation, and saw a black and shiny hound from a distance. It was the police dog and animal companion of the detective Mr. Ted Pinkerton.

"Hi! Carl!" Qiao An waved to the police dog.

Carl turned his head and looked over, immediately recognizing Qiao Ann, wagging his tail and rushed over happily.

Qiao An squatted down and hugged the police dog's neck, and stretched out his hand to caress on the smooth fur. Carl also rubbed his arm affectionately.

Ruby jogged all the way to follow, and when he saw the police dog, his eyes flashed, and he smiled and yelled: "Karl Carl! Come here! Ruby, I, please drink tamarind tea!"

"Ooooo~~"

The poor police dog was forcibly poured a cup of tamarind tea by little Lolita, and stuck his tongue out uncomfortably.

At this time, Qiao An noticed that just behind Carl, across the street from the Gulf Commercial Bank, a two-story store was built. Depicts a piercing eye with a sonorous slogan:

"We are always on guard!"
