I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 280 Who is the fish and who is the pond
At 11:30 in the morning, the servant came for the third time and asked Owen if he needed to have breakfast.

"Put it on."

"Ok."

Owen silently closed the pocket watch and put it back into his pocket, his expression a little solemn.

It has already exceeded the goddess's expected return time. Before leaving, she obviously said she would be back around seven or eight o'clock on the weekend, but now it has been more than two hours.

Owen turned to look at the courtyard, and felt that the sparrows outside the window were making too much noise on the branches. It made him want to take out his shotgun, shoot down all the noisy birds, and roast them.

At this moment, a giant hand lowered from the window. Before his green onion-like fingers tapped on the glass, Owen ran to the window and looked up at the clouds.

Between the blue sky and white clouds, the face with crooked eyebrows finally appeared again.

It had only been five days, but he felt like they had been separated for five years.

Since September, Xia Qingdai often doesn't show up for several days. The first time was fifteen days, the second time was five days, and this time it was five days and a few hours again.

Owen is really afraid that the goddess will leave completely one day and never come back. His heart began to ache at the thought that he might never see her again.

He stared blankly into the eyes in the clouds until Xia Qingdai tilted her head slightly and asked with doubts in her eyes: "Owen, what's wrong with you?"

Owen reacted belatedly, took a step back, bowed politely and said, "I'll pick you up right now."

After saying this, he rang the bell and called the servant, telling him to tell the driver to prepare the car.

"But, Mr. Owen, breakfast has been laid out in the dining room. Do you want to go out now?"

"We'll eat when I get back." Owen put down the bell and walked straight to the door, "Forget it, I'll just go drive, and you don't have to notify me."

Gerald quickly caught up with Irving, who was walking very fast: "Mr. Irving, wait a moment, I'll tell Sherider to prepare the car right away."

"No, you stay here. You don't have to follow me. I'll drive myself, I don't need him." Irving called out to Gerald and couldn't wait to go to the parking garage in the backyard, opened the door of the off-road vehicle and got in. Just step on the accelerator and go.

The servant at home was shocked: "What happened? Mr. Owen went out without taking anyone with him again."

"Maybe I'm going to pick up my cousin again."

When the butler David called Gerald for questioning, Irving had already driven into the boulevard and quickly disappeared on the edge of the glass tank.

After a while, a new map was drawn out in the far corner.

Xia Qingdai was lying on the glass tank, holding her head, watching Owen's small off-road vehicle driving along the tree-lined road with her aunt's smile on her lips.

Owen drove and drove, and finally stopped when he reached a deserted area.

Xia Qingdai, who had been prepared long ago, put the Ferrari model equipped with a full battery in Lilliput. With a thought, the person appeared in Owen's car.

Seeing Xia Qingdai reappearing in front of him, Owen couldn't help but get out of the car, walked to the other side, and took the opportunity to help Xia Qingdai out of the car and gave her a decent kiss on the hand.

It wasn't until his lips touched the warm hand of the goddess that Owen's turbulent heart finally calmed down, and the sense of reality came to his mind again.

"Welcome back." Owen suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice, "You came late today."

"I was temporarily delayed by something."

"Oh." Xia Qingdai raised her head slightly and looked into Owen's deep eyes, feeling that he seemed a little resentful today.

Then she took her hand away from his, jumped out of the SUV with a smile, and said coolly: "Let's go, Owen, let's go for a ride together!"

There is no unhappiness that cannot be solved by racing. If there is any unhappiness, just push the speed to the fastest gear.

Today, Xia Qingdai deliberately disassembled the roof of the Ferrari sports car and wanted to go all the way back with the roof open to experience the feeling of the wind blowing in her ears.

The country boulevards were sparsely populated and she was not afraid of driving fast.

Owen smiled slightly, watching Xia Qingdai open the door of the big red tram and get in, before returning to the driving seat of the off-road vehicle.

"Hey! Let's go!" Xia Qingdai shouted excitedly, stepped on the accelerator and drove out first.

Owen followed closely behind, the smile on his lips getting bigger and bigger.

It’s great that the goddess is back.

Xia Qingdai is now like Darcy's favorite Aunt Catherine, driving a convertible all the way regardless of the dust raised, whizzing past the astonished eyes of the farmers and peasant women in the fields on both sides of the avenue, so happy!
She even turned on the music in the car, which contained an earthy and brainwashing song called "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" - the Phoenix Legend version that she had introduced herself.

I'm like a fish in your lotus pond
Just to wait for the bright white moonlight with you
After swimming through the four seasons, the lotus is still fragrant
Waiting for you in the middle of the water~
A lyrical ditty full of Jiangnan water town flavor, paired with Linghua's brainwashing and sweet singing voice. It's a bit earthy, yet a bit joyful, and has the magic power to make people play it on repeat.

Listening to this song, the world written by Zhu Ziqing will automatically pop up in your mind - summer night, lotus pond, moonlight.

Owen has been studying Chinese with Xia Qingdai for some time, and he has learned Chinese Pinyin very well. Therefore, although I still cannot fully understand the meaning of the lyrics at this time, I am not completely clueless.

"Fish and pond?"

Owen looked at the girl on the sports car in front who stretched out her left hand to catch the wind. He didn't know what he thought of, and he smiled in a 45-degree arc, like a drunken groom about to enter the bridal chamber.

The two of them drove all the way back to Fucui Villa. Amid the cheers of the children and the attention of the servants, they parked the car directly on the green brick road in the courtyard, and then happily got out of the car and walked into the castle.

Of course, the matter of reversing the truck into the warehouse was left to the driver, Sheridan.

"I'm back!" Xia Qingdai waved to the servants.

"Hello, cousin." All the servants saluted in unison.

Under the guidance of butler David, the servants were in high spirits, and Xia Qingdai was happy to see them. Who doesn’t want to be greeted by someone with a smiling face when they go home?

Mary, the personal maid, hurriedly came forward, curtsied and said, "Cousin, breakfast is ready. Do you want to go to eat now?"

"Ah, it's already time. Haven't you had breakfast at home?" Xia Qingdai looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It already showed that it was almost twelve o'clock.

"Owen, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

Owen said calmly: "I want to wait for you to come back and have dinner together."

"Ah, you don't have to wait for me in the future." Xia Qingdai said angrily, "This time is not even breakfast, it's already lunch, I'm going to be hungry."

Owen replied: "It doesn't matter, I used fruits and snacks, so I won't be hungry."

"That's good." Xia Qingdai nodded, "Let's go, let's eat together."

"it is good."
