The number of times Venus secretly went to see Adonis was far more than the number of times he ran to the Temple of Fire openly.

Friendship on the mountain, love on the beach.

The learned and talented Adonis would tell Venus a lot of interesting stories from all over the world. Venus listened too much, and when he went back to the holy mountain to listen to the story of Dionysus, he felt boring. However, Dionysus quickly retained Venus with the carefulness of peeling the grapes himself.

This is nothing compared to Adonis doing nothing, leaving Venus thinking about it day and night.

On the coast of Cyprus, there are always two tracks of footprints they walked side by side on the sand. As soon as the waves of the rising tide washed away at sunset, those footprints were washed clean, leaving no trace, just like their secret and unknown first love.

In the valleys, in the woods, they hunt, play, play the piano, and sing. Venus also specially asked the muse to learn to sing and dance, so that he could accompany Adonis when he played and sang. All the romance that the teenagers in the world have, they are not bad at all.

Venus especially loved going to Adonis' tree house. In that quiet forest, he listened to Adonis telling stories from afar, and his expression always overflowed with longing.

One day, they sat together at the window full of flowers. Venus asked Adonis a little uneasy: "Adonis, I always tell you about me, is it bothering you?"

Venus suddenly remembered that he always told Adonis about what he saw on the mountain, about his friends, about his happiness and complaints, and Adonis would always listen to him and explain him.

But Adonis never told him his story. He had so many friends, but Adonis lived alone in the forest, and all the stories were with him.

Venus felt that it seemed that he did not take into account Adonis' feelings too much. He is always lively, surrounded by flowers, but Adonis is so lonely.

Adonis laughed but didn't answer. He opened a book and asked warmly, "Would you like to hear a new story? It's an exotic fairy tale."

Venus was reluctant to reject Adonis and reluctantly agreed. Soon he was attracted by fairy tales and stopped thinking about his previous question.

"I will listen to all his voice, whether he complains, whether he brags, or even if he is silent, I will listen because..."

Adonis will not talk about it here.

This pause was the most deadly, and Venus said urgently: "Why?" He was so anxious to look at it himself, but there were French words he couldn't understand.

Adonis put down the book and smiled, "Look at me and I'll tell you."

Venus tilted his head.

Adonis lowered his head and kissed his lips.

Extremely gentle, but also full of domineering domineering.

There was just a gust of wind blowing outside the window, and a white rose fell from the window sill, lying in the arms of the page, blocking the last line.

"Because he is my rose."

Chapter 31 Adulthood

The goddess of dawn took away the night, and a new day ushered in on the holy mountain.

Today is a big day when the whole holy mountain is busy and lively—His Royal Highness Venus, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, will celebrate his bicentenary birthday today, which is also his coming-of-age ceremony.

Except for the three virgin goddesses who avoided seeing because of taboos, all the gods of the holy mountain came to the Temple of Beauty to send rich birthday gifts to Venus. Hephaestus gave a pair of gold bracelets of his own making, Hermes gave a pair of flying shoes, Ares gave a sword, and Dionysus gave dozens of jars of wine—thankfully grown-up I can finally drink. When Venus first arrived at Olympus, he also received a good wine from the god of wine, and then found that he could not open the package before he became an adult, as if he was lonely...

At the end of the day, Venus was soft on receiving gifts.

Even Hades and Sea Emperor sent messengers to send congratulatory gifts. The gods of the underworld are very autistic, and they hardly deal with the god Olympus. Hades, the king of the underworld, sent the god of death Thanatos to come and leave after a process. saw that the messenger of the underworld was shrouded in a wide black robe, and even his face was completely covered. He stretched out a pale, slender hand from under his robe, dropped a box of gifts and left silently, without saying a word from beginning to end, as if he had never been in the future.

In sharp contrast, the envoys sent by the Emperor of the Sea were so powerful that they sent over a hundred carts of treasures.

Rao, the well-informed Venus, was taken aback by the generosity of the Sea Emperor, who gave more gifts than the gods on Mount Olympus combined...

Is this really a birthday present and not a dowry? Venus thought in shock.

The other gods present thought the same. This pomp, this handwriting, generally gods really can't afford it, and they are going to get married. In contrast, their well-prepared gifts seem to be out of hand.

Venus asked cautiously, "Is this a bit...too much?"

He and the Sea Emperor have never met... Maybe they met when they were born? But he has forgotten... So how can He De He get such a generous gift from the Emperor of the Sea?

The envoy of the sea world bent slightly, with a respectful attitude: "You were born in the sea, and His Majesty the Sea Emperor naturally values ​​your birthday."

The implication is that the sea is the origin and destination of Venus, and Mount Olympus is only a temporary residence.

The god Olympus, who heard the voice of the messenger, changed his face. Hephaestus condensed flames in the palm of his hand, Dionysus summoned the vine, Hermes conjured a wand, Ares picked up the spear... As long as the envoy of the sea has the courage to say that he will bring Venus with him If he leaves, they'll kick him out of Olympus at once.

Although don't know who Venus will be with after tonight, Venus must be Olympus! When you come, don't even think about leaving, the outside world can't be coveted!

Only the goddess of timing and the king of god Zeus knew that the emperor of the sea had a marriage contract with Venus two hundred years ago. With the moral level of Zeus, of course, he would not abide by the rules that brothers and wives should not be deceived, and he had long forgotten about this matter. The goddess of timing is tight-lipped, so the gods of Olympus did not know that when they were still fighting for the first night of Venus, the god of the sea had long promised Venus the crown of the sea queen.
