After entering, Luo Guang found Eriri in the middle of a creative session. She was taking selfies on her phone, wearing a red cheongsam with black stockings and a pair of old-fashioned round-framed glasses. Her beautiful, silky blonde hair was styled into buns, and the slits on the sides of the dress revealed a captivating glimpse of her skin. Seeing Luo Guang enter, Eriri panicked for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to normal. She put her phone down and struck a cosplay pose for Luo Guang.
"How is it? I don't look so bad like this, right?"
"You certainly don't." Luo Guang sat down and began to scrutinize her in a relaxed manner. "Even with blonde hair, you surprisingly suit the cheongsam."
As he spoke, Luo Guang's gaze unapologetically swept over the girl. The sharp look made Eriri feel a bit uncomfortable. Although there was no malice, it gave her goosebumps and made her involuntarily recall what had happened a week ago. She quickly changed the subject.
"Luo Guang, I feel like you've changed somehow."
"Perhaps. Even the sun isn't constant."
"You're so narcissistic," Eriri muttered under her breath, but her eyes couldn't stop staring at his face. After all, she couldn't deny what he said. Under his raven hair was a calm face with only a slight smile, but his eyes were clear and serene. His eyes had a brown pupil on a gray base, like amber, with high transparency and strong reflection, giving off a rainbow of layers under the light.
This created an especially intense sense of awe. Even though Luo Guang had his life aura internally contained, his external appearance alone was enough to give an ordinary person an ineffable sense of impact and shock. At the same time, the calm and detached demeanor he carried made him seem utterly unconcerned, even when being stared at as if he were a sun. It was as if he were separated from the real world, existing on another dimension. This subtle detachment didn't push people away; instead, it created an even stronger attraction.
Eriri had never thought Luo Guang was especially handsome before, but as she got older, she found herself becoming more and more unable to look away when she saw him. And now, Luo Guang was looking at her, and at this moment, he belonged only to her.
Who wouldn't be flustered by that? Eriri's face quickly turned red, and her heart began to race. A woman's mature charm began to radiate from her eyes. In the end, the girl was the one to make the first move, more proactive than Luo Guang himself. As a result, lunch was postponed, and the afternoon's shopping plan was completely ruined. But Eriri had no regrets; instead, she was filled with a deep sense of happiness.
In the afternoon, Luo Guang was ready to go. No sooner had he left than Sayuri entered Eriri's room and started asking her questions.
"Mom, you don't like Luo Guang, do you?" Eriri asked out of the blue.
The question stunned Sayuri into silence for a second, but she quickly laughed it off. But Eriri could see clearly that both times her mother had looked at Luo Guang, her eyes had been shining.
And as fate would have it, when Rias, Akeno, and Koneko arrived to visit that weekend, their eyes also shone when they saw Luo Guang. Although they had tried to convince themselves that Luo Guang's power was more impressive than his looks, they couldn't help but be mesmerized by his divine-like face.
Yuuto Kiba and the hikikomori vampire Gasper didn't come. Kiba had other things on his mind these days, and Gasper was a pure hikikomori who would hide in a box if he saw Rias. Luo Guang guessed that Kiba's absence was likely due to the Holy Sword wielders. As a survivor of Gasper's experiments, Kiba had a special connection to the Holy Swords. It was likely that the two Holy Sword wielders sent by the Church and the Holy Swords that Kokabiel's men stole were not far away.
"Please, have some tea." Asia served tea to the three of them. In her heart, she was very envious of elegant and graceful older sisters like Rias and Akeno. They were mature, charming, and had a mischievous side—the kind of woman Asia hoped to become someday.
But Rias and Akeno were the ones who felt more envious. After all, what woman could casually live with Luo Guang?
Soon, Koneko, Asia, and Est, the three little girls, went off to play together. Rias didn't know how to start the conversation, but Akeno smoothly said they had come specifically to thank him and brought two gifts. In her heart, Akeno was thinking that if Rias hadn't said the wrong thing, this would have been their time alone. But she was glad that Rias knew nothing about romance; otherwise, she would have had to worry.
