[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

At the same time as the voice fell, a tall, thin and handsome man appeared at the door. The man stood leaning against the door frame, with his hands folded over his shoulders, looking at the 'lively' scene inside the house in a leisurely manner.

Even though he said that he didn't expect the sun god to visit first, there was no surprise on the man's face.When the three people in the room heard his voice and turned their eyes to him, the man frowned, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His gaze stayed on Apollo for a moment, then shifted to Hephaestus and Zhi Geng. The ambiguous red mark on the chest of the red-haired god made the man startled for a moment, and the smile on his face restrained a little. , There was also a touch of thought in the depths of the eyes.

"Hermes." Apollo read out the man's name a little coldly, nodded perfunctorily as a greeting, and then turned his gaze back to Zhi Geng.

The piccolo was still in his hands, and Aphrodite hadn't accepted it. At this moment, Apollo didn't want to think about the purpose of Hermes' visit this time.

Hermes has always been cunning, seemingly casual and unrestrained, wandering among the gods with an attitude of watching the show, but sometimes it is complicated and changeable, and his mind is difficult. If it is normal, Apollo may be willing to talk to him politely. A few falsehoods, but right now, Hermes is obviously not as important as Aphrodite.

"Accept this piccolo and treat it as a gift from me, okay, dear Aphrodite." Apollo said again, even in a tone similar to a begging, Apollo's gentle tone But it can't hide the strong meaning.

Zhi Geng would definitely not accept this attitude if it was changed to the past when only Apollo and Zhi Geng were alone, but at this moment, under the witness of Hephaestus and Hermes, Zhi Geng fell I am also happy to accept this 'significant' gift from Apollo.

So he raised his arm, passed Hephaestus, and took the piccolo from Apollo under the meaningful gaze of Hermes.

He held the emerald-colored piccolo in his hand, the round and clear body of the flute exudes a sense of smooth and delicate carving, the pure and quiet green makes Zhi Geng's smooth jade-like hand even whiter.

After accepting Apollo's so-called 'commemorative' gift, Zhi Geng stopped looking at Apollo, but held Hephaestus' cheek, and pressed a kiss on Hephaestus' lips.

"Good morning kiss." Zhi Geng said, looking at Hephaestus' shy reaction with satisfaction, Zhi Geng whispered in Hephaestus' ear again: "Put on your clothes first." His tone Intimate and pleasant.

After finishing speaking, Zhi Geng got up and got out of bed, and walked towards the wooden table in the center of the room.

His clothes hung casually on his body, revealing a beautiful and delicate collarbone and a section of smooth and delicate skin. There was also a red hickey on it, which was obviously left by Hephaestus last night.And as he walked, under the loose robe, the white and slender legs were faintly visible.

The gazes of the three men in the room followed Zhi Geng's steps.

Zhi Geng went to the wooden table and sat down, crossing his legs casually, propping the side of his head with one hand, and picked up the water bottle on the table with the other hand, slightly raised his wrist, pouring the cup slowly poured water into it.

It's obviously a careless movement, casual and lazy, but Zhi Geng made it quite pleasing to the eye, revealing an elegant charm.However, his expression was incomparably lazy, especially after going through a love affair, his already overly gorgeous appearance became even more seductive.

Such contradictory temperament mixed with Zhi Geng, combined into a strange charm, making him the most deceptive existence in the world.

When the water was [-]% full, Zhi Geng stopped, and said slowly: "The envoy came early in the morning without invitation. Could it be that he also has a gift for me?"

Although he was asking about Hermes, Zhigeng's eyes did not linger on Hermes too much, he only glanced at Hermes at the beginning of his speech and then turned his eyes back .

"A gift..." Hermes rubbed his chin, looking like he was thinking hard, then he seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked to Zhi Geng and sat down, and then put his elbows on the table , cupped her cheeks with both hands, winked mischievously at Zhi Geng, and said briskly: "Hey——Aphrodite, I'll give you myself first, what do you think of this gift?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sneer in the room.

Hermes looked at Apollo, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "What? The Sun God seems to have a problem with my proposal?"

Apollo pulled the corner of his lips, and when he was about to speak, Zhi Geng suddenly laughed, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his laughter: "You all want to give me yourself as a gift?"

When Zhi Geng said this, Hermes quickly understood the reason, and said in great disappointment:

"Ah, it's too foul. I'm still wondering why Aphrodite didn't show any surprise at all. It turned out that it was because Apollo had already said such a thing."

Ignoring the exaggerated expression of Hermes, Zhi Geng picked up the water glass, and when he was about to drink, one hand was lightly placed on his wrist, stopping his movement.

Looking along this hand, it was Hephaestus who was already dressed and standing beside him.

"What's wrong?" Zhi Geng asked.

Hephaestus' eyes fell on the water glass that Zhi Geng was holding, he moved his lips and uttered two words: "It's cold."

Zhi Geng didn't pay much attention to this aspect, and Zhi Geng might not care about it if it were someone else, but since Hephaestus said this, in the past, this red-haired god was always humbled before him. Here, everything was done according to what he said, and sometimes he even stuttered because of being too nervous. Now there is such a change, which makes Zhi Geng feel a little strange, so at the moment he only thinks a little bit. After a while, he was about to put down the cup.

It's just that before the bottom of the cup touched the table, Hephaestus took it from Zhi Geng's hand, and met Zhi Geng's puzzled eyes, Hephaestus didn't say anything, but put it in his palm with divine power. Condensed a group of flames.

The small flame emitted a fiery red light. Hephaestus placed the flame on the surface of the cup and controlled the temperature to allow the flame to float on it. After a while, the water in the cup was heated.

Zhi Geng raised his eyebrows, took the steaming water glass from Hephaestus, and took a sip. It didn't burn his tongue, and the temperature was just right.

"It turns out that Hephaestus is so careful," Hermes knew from Aphrodite's expression that he liked Hephaestus's behavior just now, and he tilted his head to look at Hephaest Toss joked with a smile: "Continuing like this will make me feel more and more in crisis."

Although he spoke in a half-joking tone, Hermes' eyes were extremely serious, and even though he was smiling, the smile was completely invisible.

Hephaestus frowned, as if he didn't know how to deal with the eloquent and eloquent god of deceit. If the deep meaning in Hermes' words was from the past, Hephaestus would never have heard it, but now At this extremely sensitive point of time, after a series of foreshadowings made by Apollo, Hephaestus easily understood another meaning hidden in Hermes' words.

Even though he has now married Aphrodite and has a close relationship, neither Hermes nor Apollo really regards Aphrodite as his hero. Companion of Phaistos.

Perhaps in their view, Hephaestus is still just Hephaestus, and Aphrodite is still the previous Aphrodite, and Hephaestus and Aphrodite were never together. of.

This recognition made Hephaestus feel uneasy, he leaned towards Zhi Geng unconsciously, and stretched out his arms to hug Zhi Geng, as if he was trying to dilute the vain tension in his heart.

No one expected that Hephaestus would suddenly embrace Zhi Geng at this time, with a posture that seemed to outsiders to be possessive, especially when the other party was still thinking about how to reply a second ago. case.Apollo's face became a little ugly, and Hermes' expression was also quite subtle.

[Kui Yin: Yes!Can't tell that the big fool understands it!Know how to defeat your opponent silently and take an oath of sovereignty! ]

"It's really enviable, Hephaestus." Hermes said inexplicably.

He took the jug that Zhi Geng had just taken, poured himself a glass of water, then handed it to Hephaestus, and said with a smile: "Hey—the god of smelting full of forging talents, the control of flames Or, help me turn the already cold water into a temperature that can be eaten."

Seeing that Hephaestus was silent, Hermes continued: "Oh, dear Hephaestus, as the owner of this palace, you shouldn't refuse such a simple request from the guest."

Having said all this, even if he knew that Hermes did it on purpose, Hephaestus really had no reason to refuse.

Because he wanted to warm the water for Hermes, Hephaestus had to let go of Zhi Geng's embrace and took the water cup from Hermes. Hephaestus lowered his eyes and held his palm again. Condensed a red flame.

"Hermes, as an envoy of God, your coming here today should be more than just a visit." Zhi Geng said while Hephaestus was heating the water, looking at Hermes.

"There is indeed something I want to tell you." Hermes replied.

"I need you to come early in the morning. It seems that this matter is very important?" Zhi Geng mentioned the three words 'early in the morning' again, and this time he deliberately emphasized his tone.

"Oh, dear Aphrodite, I just want to see you sooner." Hermes said while picking up the water glass that had been heated by Hephaestus and placed on the table.

The temperature of the fingertips was very suitable, and Hermes was focusing on Zhi Geng now, so he took a sip without thinking too much.

However, the next second...

There was a "poof"!Hermes spit out the water in one gulp, his tongue was burned until he breathed out.

"Hephaestus, isn't the temperature of this water a bit high?" Hermes said with a half-smile.

The author has something to say: Vulcan: Surprised or not?Is it surprising?

Hermes: There is no fuck to say!
