HP Dual Masters and I had a blast in Hogwarts.

Chapter 278: Spent the whole day playing with Riddle

It was still daytime, and Riddle and I wouldn't do anything inappropriate before dark, so after we cuddled for a while, Riddle wanted to take me out for a walk. After all, he had already shown me around Riddle's villa.

"Is there anywhere you particularly want to go?" Riddle and I changed into matching outfits before heading out; he specifically asked me to wear them. We're now strolling hand in hand.

"I don't really have anywhere in particular I want to go. Do you have any recommendations?" I asked Riddle with a smile.

“I feel like there’s a place you might like.” Riddle pulled me toward a deserted alley, and then, with a 'phantom teleportation,' we disappeared from the bustling street.

I didn't ask Riddle where we were going; I just took his hand and leaned against him.

When I opened my eyes in Riddle's arms, what I saw was a blue sky, white clouds, an endless sea of ​​blue flowers, and golden butterflies of all kinds.

I was so captivated by the scenery that I couldn't look away for a long time.

This sea of ​​blue flowers is like God spilling a blue palette of paint, with each flower blooming freely and brilliantly.

A gentle breeze stirs the flowers, making them sway softly as if whispering ancient tales.

Golden butterflies fluttered among the flowers, their wings shimmering in the sunlight like twinkling stars fallen into a blue ocean.

Riddle held me in his arms, standing quietly in the sea of ​​flowers.

His embrace was warm and firm, giving me a sense of security I had never felt before.

I raised my head slightly and looked at his face.

His deep eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, were gazing at me tenderly.

His lips curled up slightly, carrying a barely perceptible smile.

"Do you like it here?" he asked softly, his voice deep and magnetic.

I nodded vigorously. "This place is so beautiful, it's like a dream."

He smiled gently, "If you like it, I'll bring you here often in the future."

We strolled through the sea of ​​flowers, with soft grass beneath our feet and the air filled with the fragrance of blossoms.

Riddle held my hand, and our figures appeared and disappeared among the flowers.

The butterflies seemed to be infected by our joy, swirling around us and playing with us.

Before we knew it, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto this blue sea of ​​flowers.

The sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red, which contrasted beautifully with the blue sea of ​​flowers, creating a stunning picture.

I leaned against Riddle's chest, quietly enjoying all of this.

“Thank you, Riddle, for bringing me to such a beautiful place,” I said softly.

He hugged me tightly, saying, "You are the most beautiful scenery in my life."

In this dreamlike place, I felt an unprecedented happiness.

Who could know how romantic it was when Tom Marvolo Riddle fell in love with someone? She was truly a dream girl.

In this sea of ​​blue flowers, our love, like the blossoms, shines with the most dazzling light.

As night fell, twinkling lights illuminated the sea of ​​flowers. We sat on the grass, gazing up at the starry sky.

Riddle took out one of his black robes and gently draped it over me. I nestled in his arms, feeling each other's heartbeats.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and we were so immersed in this beautiful moment that we didn't want to wake up.

"You've collected so many beautiful sights! Each one seems like a surprise." To date, Riddle has truly taken me to many beautiful places, each one unique.

“Ayers, I’ve noticed for a long time that you’re someone who really dislikes trouble, but you have a special hobby: collecting interesting and beautiful photos of people, objects, and scenery. So after graduating from Hogwarts, I’ve been going out and exploring whenever I have time, finding many beautiful and interesting places, hoping to take you there next time.” This was really unlike Riddle; he actually went on and on to explain.

But it warmed my heart when I heard it. Seriously, this silly guy is really touching.

"Seriously, are you still the Riddle I know?" I felt like I didn't even recognize Riddle anymore.

"Only you would make me do so many things." Right now, Riddle's eyes are completely on me.

I can see myself now through Riddle's eyes.

Our eyes met; his gaze was deep and captivating, as if concealing endless secrets and deep affection.

Our faces drew closer and closer, and our breathing became rapid and intimate.

I could feel the unique aura emanating from him, a mysterious and captivating scent that made me involuntarily fall for him.

Finally, I closed my eyes and kissed him.

I could feel his lips were soft and warm, with a faint sweetness, like the fragrance of the blue flowers around us.

A gentle breeze blew by, and blue petals floated up like snowflakes, dancing in the air and surrounding us, as if setting up a dreamlike stage for our romantic kiss.

Petals gently landed on our hair and shoulders, adding a touch of poetry and romance to our lives.

We sat amidst a sea of ​​blue flowers in full bloom, with a sky full of twinkling stars overhead.

The dazzling stars, like jewels embedded in the black sky, cast a cool yet gentle light, complementing the blue sea of ​​flowers and creating another breathtaking scene.

In this quiet yet romantic atmosphere, time seemed to stand still. I forgot all my troubles and worries; my heart was filled only with the man before me and the sweetness of embracing and kissing him at this moment.

At this moment, I feel as if I am in a world that belongs only to us, free from the noise and disturbances of the outside world, with only the sound of our heartbeats and our deep love for each other.

When the kiss ended, we slowly separated and smiled at each other.

We sat quietly, enjoying this beautiful moment, letting the blue petals fall around us and the stars twinkle in the night sky.

"Want to go back? Are you hungry?" Riddle realized it was getting late and we hadn't eaten anything yet.

"I didn't feel hungry until you mentioned it, but now that you have, I feel like I'm starving." I rubbed my stomach and felt that it was completely empty.

“Let’s go back now.” Riddle heard me say I was hungry and slowly stood up, then pulled me up with one hand and helped me remove the petals from my body one by one.

“Riddle, you also have petals on you, let me remove them for you.” I smiled and removed the petals from Riddle’s body as well.

“Alright, now we can go back.” Riddle took off the last petal and wrapped his arms around my waist, laughing.

"Mmm~" I wrapped my arms around Riddle's waist, and with a 'Phantom Shift', our figures disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers.

When we returned to Riddle's villa, we were taken directly to the dining room.

"That's really nice, a place to eat right after I get back." When I was in my own villa, I had to walk all the way to the dining room. It's so convenient that Riddle can just show up at my own dining room all at once.

“Actually, there are restrictions on Apparitions in my house too, except for those I allow.” Riddle moved a chair for me to sit down, then waved for the house-elf to leave before heading towards the open kitchen.

"Oh~ Riddle, are you planning to show me something?" I laughed, propping my head up with my hand and looking towards Riddle.

"I want you to eat my cooking whenever possible." Riddle really wanted to possess Ayers all the time and wanted him to cook every meal himself.

"I am truly honored to have you, the second-generation Dark Lord, cook for me." I taught Riddle to cook before, all for this moment.

Riddle skillfully took out various ingredients from the cupboards and freezers, and busied himself methodically in the open kitchen.

He had previously dismissed all the house-elves, intending to cook the meal by himself.

Considering it was just for two people, he didn't plan to cook too many dishes, opting for a simple three-dish meal with soup.

He started by preparing the ingredients for the main dish, his movements clean and efficient.

Long, slender fingers deftly wielded the knife, slicing the fresh meat into even, thin slices.

The oil in the pan sizzled as he added the sliced ​​meat, stir-fried it a few times, and the meat quickly changed color, releasing an enticing aroma.

Then he added various seasonings, the precise amounts of which seemed to be etched into his memory.

Beside him, he had also prepared vegetables, washing the bright greens and arranging them neatly on the cutting board.

The rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables filled the air, like a unique kitchen symphony. Soon, the greens were added to the pot, blending together with the sliced ​​meat, creating a pleasing color combination.

When making soup, he carefully selects bones and puts them into a soup pot, adding enough water and various ingredients.

Simmer over low heat to allow the umami flavor of the bones to fully infuse into the soup.

The rising steam carried a rich aroma, filling the entire kitchen.

The other two side dishes were also quickly prepared by his skillful hands.

A plate of refreshing cold dishes, colorful and perfectly seasoned, is so appetizing that it whets the appetite just by looking at it; there is also a pan-fried egg pancake, golden and crispy, exuding the aroma of eggs and flour.

I sat quietly to the side, watching Riddle busy himself in the kitchen.

The way he focused on cooking was somewhat different from his usual mysterious and powerful image, showing more of a down-to-earth side.

The moonlight streamed through the window and bathed him in a soft glow.

Before long, three dishes and a soup were neatly placed on the table.

Riddle smiled slightly at me, gesturing for me to taste it.

I picked up a piece of meat and put it in my mouth. The meat was tender and juicy, and the taste was just right.

Take a sip of the soup, and the rich, flavorful bone broth will spread in your mouth, making you feel intoxicated.

We ate our meal and chatted casually.

This simple meal felt especially heartwarming because it was prepared by Riddle himself.

In this small kitchen, time seems to slow down and become beautiful, making people forget the troubles and pressures of the outside world.

After dinner, instead of taking a shower and resting right away, we went for a walk in the Rose Garden of Riddle.

"Your skills are still pretty good; thankfully, they haven't deteriorated," I said as we walked.

“Your affirmation of me is the highest praise I can receive,” Riddle said with a smile as he followed behind me.

"Let's walk for about half an hour and then go take a shower," I suggested after walking for a while, feeling a bit tired from playing today.

“I’m fine with anything.” A glint flashed in Riddle’s eyes, but I didn’t see it as I was walking ahead.

After our walk ended, Riddle led me to his room.

There was a large bathtub in his room, which he had already had his house-elves fill with water.

He pulled me into the bathroom, then suddenly picked me up and jumped into the huge bathtub, which looked almost as big as a bathhouse.

I gasped as I fell into the warm water along with Riddle.

The splashing water scattered and wet the bathroom tiles.

The instant I fell into the water, I instinctively grabbed Riddle's neck and pressed my body tightly against his.

His embrace was strong, holding me steadily in the water.

I could feel the rise and fall of his chest, and his warm breath spraying against my ear.

"Riddle! You really didn't give me any warning!" I playfully punched him, but he grabbed my hand in return.

He looked down at me, a smile flickering in his deep eyes: "I just wanted to relax with you."

Warm water rippled gently, surrounding us.

A light mist filled the bathroom, making everything seem hazy and dreamlike.

I nestled in his arms, savoring this rare moment of peace and intimacy.

Riddle's hand gently stroked my back, the movement tender and soothing.

I closed my eyes and savored this moment of tranquility.

At that moment, it was as if time had stopped, and there were only the two of us, immersed in our own world in the warm bath.

“You know, every moment I spend with you is precious to me,” Riddle suddenly said softly, his voice deep and melodious.

I slightly opened my eyes, looked at his handsome face, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart: "Me too."

He slowly approached me and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.

That kiss seemed to have a magical power, making my heart beat faster involuntarily.

I tilted my head slightly to meet his gaze.

His eyes were filled with deep affection and love, which captivated me.

We embraced quietly in the water, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

The warm water seemed to have a healing power, washing away our fatigue and worries of the day.

After an unknown amount of time, the steam in the bathroom gradually dissipated.

Riddle gently lifted me from the water and dried me with a soft towel. He moved with utmost care, as if I were a precious treasure.

He draped a loose bathrobe over me and then held me tightly in his arms.

I leaned against him, listening to his strong heartbeat, and my heart was filled with happiness.

“We’ll have many more moments like this in the future,” Riddle whispered in my ear.

I smiled and nodded, believing that our future will be filled with more beauty and warmth.
