Hermione's tone carried a hint of sourness.
As Ginny grew up, Hermione became increasingly aware of her threat, and whenever she heard that Levin was going to the Weasleys' house, an inexplicable jealousy would well up inside her.
Levin gave a wry smile and stepped forward to give Hermione a comforting hug, but she skillfully dodged him.
"Mrs. Weasley invited me. I don't have such strong tastes."
He quickly explained,
"Besides, I went to talk to the Weasleys about serious business, about television."
Just then, Luna's clear voice came from outside:
"Levin! Levin! Why are all your nymphs avoiding me?"
Just then, Luna's voice came from outside.
As the sound faded, Luna's figure hopped and skipped into their line of sight.
She saw Hermione blocking the doorway and greeted her with a smile: "Hi Hermione."
Hermione nodded to Luna in response.
But her gaze never left Levin's face, her eyes seeming to say, "I don't believe you for a second. You're still saying you weren't going to find a girl?"
"...Didn't we agree that they would come for training during the summer vacation?"
Levin said with a smile, taking a delicate paper bag from his pocket.
He handed it to Hermione, saying, "This is a little gift I bought for you. I hope you like it."
Hermione took the paper bag, glanced at it curiously, but immediately looked away, maintaining her stern expression.
"What is it?" she asked.
There was a hint of anticipation in her voice that she herself didn't even realize.
"You'll see when you open it," Levin said with a mysterious smile.
"I just love keeping people in suspense."
Hermione finally couldn't contain her curiosity and hesitantly opened the paper bag, glanced at what was inside, and then quickly closed it again.
“I don’t like it,” she said sternly, suspecting Levin was trying to make her gain weight.
Levin could sense her excitement and couldn't help but laugh at her awkward reaction.
"Shall I feed you a bite?"
He picked up the ice cream from the paper bag and leaned towards Hermione with a smile.
Just then, Gwen walked by, and Levin turned to her and called out:
"Gwen, go find Zhang Qiu and tell her I brought desserts for everyone."
"Okay, master."
Gwen gave a slight bow, then turned and left.
Levin turned his attention back to Hermione and held the ice cream to her lips.
"Here, have a bite," he gently urged.
Hermione turned her head away, avoiding Levin's spoon.
"Don't give me that," she muttered.
However, after Levin's repeated insistence, she finally hesitated and opened her mouth, putting the spoon in her mouth.
The sweet taste of the ice cream filled her mouth, and Hermione's eyes lit up.
"what about the taste?"
Levin asked with a smile.
"Try it yourself."
Hermione took the spoon and scooped a spoonful of ice cream for Levin, putting it into his mouth.
"Mmm, it's really sweet." Levin tasted the ice cream. "It's so refreshing to eat this in the summer."
Just then, Luna suddenly appeared from the side, looking expectantly at the ice cream in Levin's hand.
"Boyfriend, I want to eat too!" She opened her mouth, looking as cute as a fledgling bird waiting to be fed by its parents.
This girl usually seems clueless about relationships, but she's actually a natural flirt and instinctively does things that are easy to charm.
“Okay, of course you get some too.” Levin scooped up a spoonful of ice cream with the spoon he had just shared with Hermione and fed it to Luna.
The girl ate it without hesitation.
Hermione watched their interaction with a huff. Sure enough, that scoundrel of a man was still a womanizer.
Although I've gotten used to it, I still feel a little uncomfortable sometimes.
So she went up to ask for ice cream, trying to draw Levin's attention back to herself.
The three of them sat comfortably on the soft sofa, playing an intimate game of feeding each other for a while, before Levin suddenly changed the subject to work:
"Hermione, how's your research on the television station going?"
Hermione frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on her face:
"No, I still haven't solved the problem of how to transmit illusion magic to multiple terminals simultaneously. I'm considering whether I should buy some television station equipment to disassemble; perhaps by studying real television station equipment, I can find some inspiration."
She had always wanted to share some of Levin's workload, but the TV station's research and development work was far more complex than she had imagined.
The television station's research and development involved many areas she was unfamiliar with, which made her feel somewhat overwhelmed.
.
As for Zhang Qiu, although her alchemy skills were quite good, she didn't seem to be of much help in this matter.
Perhaps, if Levin seriously studies television stations, he might progress faster than all of them combined.
Levin has recently been delving into higher levels of magic, attempting to raise his wizarding rank in preparation for the impending upheaval in the wizarding world.
He not only entrusted Hermione with the construction of the television station, but also assigned Mr. Weasley the task of renovating it.
There's no way around it; energy is limited, so we have to make choices.
Normally, Hermione would definitely drag Levin along to investigate, and she would ask for his help no matter what method she used.
In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, someone once said, "Chaos is the ladder."
A turbulent period is about to begin in the magical world, and Levin is trying to seize this opportunity to elevate their power to the top. She knows she shouldn't disturb Levin now, so she can only grit her teeth and work hard alone.
Chapter 464 Puffs and Letters
"Levin, has there been any new development in the situation outside?"
While enjoying the food her boyfriend fed her, Hermione casually asked,
Is the Daily Prophet still launching a fierce attack on Professor Dumbledore?
“Yes, the reports are everywhere, but that was to be expected.” As he spoke, he took a dessert out of his bag and held it to Hermione’s lips: “Forget about all that nonsense, here, have a taste.”
"Wow, cream puffs, you bought these too." Hermione's eyes lit up.
Levin smirked smugly: "Isn't it delicious?"
This is the dessert that Luna spotted at first glance when Levin and Luna were browsing a Muggle dessert shop.
Undoubtedly, it is very popular with girls.
In fact, Levin also likes this dessert, but he likes its symbolic meaning.
Hermione took another bite, then picked up a cream puff and held it to Levin's lips. "You should try some too."
Levin took a bite, enjoying the smooth texture and sweet cream, then pointed to the other end of the puff and mumbled, "Don't let the cream spill out."
As he spoke, he winked ambiguously.
Seeing this, Hermione pouted and leaned closer: "Really, why are you so affectionate?" Even so, she still used her lips to cover the almost leaking cream puff, her face beaming with a happy blush.
She doesn't actually dislike these overly intimate gestures; in fact, she likes them a lot because they give her a romantic feeling.
What did you buy?
Just then, Zhang Qiu walked into the hall, and upon seeing the intimate scene before her, the smile on her face instantly froze.
Levin noticed Cho Chang's arrival but didn't seem embarrassed. He greeted her warmly:
"Zhang Qiu! Come quick! Look what delicious food I bought!"
As he spoke, he handed over a cream puff. "This is something Luna and I found at a dessert shop in the village. It's called a cream puff, and it tastes amazing!"
Luna chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! This cream puff is absolutely delicious!"
She seemed to sense the awkward atmosphere in the hall and tried to ease the tension with food.
"Is this a Muggle dessert? I've never had this before," Zhang Qiu asked softly, sighing inwardly.
She picked up a cream puff and tried to distract herself.
This is also why she has always been reluctant to live with others. She often sees Levin being intimate with other girls, or she is caught being intimate with Levin by others. Every time this happens, she feels extremely embarrassed.
However, when she took her first bite of the cream puff, the smooth texture and sweet cream immediately improved her mood.
“That’s right, this is a delicacy from the Muggle world.” Levin smiled and pulled a box of ice cream from a paper bag, handing it to Cho Chang. “This is matcha flavored ice cream; I guess you might like it.”
Zhang Qiu took the ice cream, gently scooped a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.
The delicate aroma of matcha and the smooth texture of ice cream complemented each other perfectly, prompting her to exclaim, "Muggles really do know how to enjoy life better."
During her time in Levin, she came to understand this more and more deeply.
“I also bought some eggs, milk, and other ingredients,” Levin said after a moment’s thought. “If you like ice cream, you can ask Gwen and Orianna to make some for you. But it’s best to eat these things occasionally; eating too much can lead to weight gain.”
Zhang Qiu glanced at Levin, a slight smile playing on her lips:
“I exercise with Ciri every morning, but you don’t seem to exercise much.”
As she spoke, she popped another cream puff into her mouth and then elegantly licked the cream off her lips.
That alluring gesture stirred Levin's heart, making him wish he could rush over and stuff her into a cream puff right there and then.
