I'm the former civilized Yingjie

The housewives gathered together to chat, a few children built castles in the sand pool, and the flowers in the flower beds were all in bloom, colorful and colorful. This vitality diluted a bit of the tension.

At this time, the lieutenant in front stopped and made an inviting gesture towards a gap made of flower walls.

"Meet in the park, so confident?"

Ryan took a deep breath, clenched his hands hidden in his trouser pockets into fists, and strode forward. As soon as he reached the corner, the scent of flower petals penetrated his nose, and then strangely, he felt himself relax.

Nerve soother?

This thought flashed through Ryan's mind. Just as he was about to gather Honkai energy, he caught a glimpse of a pink figure from the corner of his eye. He turned his head subconsciously and stopped suddenly in his steps.

There is a bench in front of the colorful flower wall, and a pink-haired girl is sitting on it.

She was very relaxed, leaning back on the chair and supporting her head with one hand. When she saw Ryan, she sat upright. Surprise burst out of her purple eyes, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This smile makes the gorgeous flower wall in spring eclipse.

"Hi, I'm Alicia. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chapter 15 Are we friends now?

Alicia?

Ryan blinked, and his brain stopped for a rare moment. He instinctively narrowed his eyes and slowly glanced at the girl on the bench.

The slender legs were wrapped in black knee-high socks, forming an absolute realm with the short skirt. The skin was soft and fair, and then there was the slender waist, and then the curvature swelled rapidly. The round upper part of the pair could still Saw deep ravines.

This is the most eye-catching place. It can be said that it is large in size. It is not only tall and straight, but also has perfect curves.

Delicate collarbones, red and petite lips, a straight bridge of nose, purple eyes like gems, and finally long pink hair.

She is beautiful, full of the unique vitality of a girl, mixed with a bit of agility and cunning, just like a fully bloomed flower bud, suppressing all the flowers in early spring.

Alicia.

Ryan's gray eyes slowly widened. He didn't expect to meet her here, the goddess of countless captains. I remember that there was a time when everyone used to say 'love door' when greeting her.

Her enthusiasm and kindness add a touch of sunshine to this desperate era.

"Well, if you stare at me like that, people will inevitably be embarrassed." Alicia scratched her face, and the curious look in her eyes became more intense, "I thought you were a cool boy, not think......."

"I didn't expect that I am also a common person? But the appreciation of beauty is a human instinct." Ryan took a breath, bowed slightly, and made a gentlemanly salute: "First time meeting, Miss Alicia."

He has completely come to his senses and knows that this girl will never have any malicious intentions, but he still remains cautious. He has no choice but to do this. This has almost become a habit for him. After so many years, he has already truly lived in this world. middle.

Ryan's words made Alicia smile even brighter. Aren't flowers supposed to be appreciated in their most beautiful form?

"Hee, you speak so nicely. You can just call me Ai Li. That makes me more approachable?"

Sure enough, Alicia has a magical power that can always make others feel close to her without feeling like she is coquettish or pretentious.

Ryan was silent for a moment, feeling that every detail of the girl was real and natural, but when they met for the first time, he was not good at facing such enthusiastic people.

"Then Alicia, what do you want from me?"

"The name is correct, but the mask on my face hasn't been taken off yet." Alicia stood up, put her hands behind her back, took light steps, and circled around Ryan, "It's okay, I just wanted to come. Be your friend."

Be friends?It's that simple?

Ryan felt like he couldn't keep up with his brain circuitry at all. For this inexplicable reason, and knowing that Alicia would never have any malicious intent or conspiracy, he didn't know how to answer.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you an introvert?" The girl scratched her head. Logically speaking, being friends with herself should be a very happy thing.

"You came all the way to Changkong City just to make friends with me?"

"Isn't it possible?" Alicia stopped in front of her and leaned forward.

Ryan tried not to move his eyes downwards and coughed lightly: "Uh...it's just a little illogical."

"Logic? Oh, do you want this kind of thing? I was on vacation and happened to come to Changkong City. Of course I had to come and see the heroes who fought against Honkai."

"hero?"

"Yes, you killed the powerful Honkai Beast and saved many soldiers and people. Of course you are a hero." Alicia said with a smile, without the slightest intention of flattering and shortening the distance, "Also, ..."

She suddenly moved closer, causing Ryan to subconsciously take a half step back and watch his face reflected in the pair of purple gems.

"Can you please tell me a little longer? Being boring won't please a girl."

In fact, Ryan was not bored, he just couldn't cope with the girl in front of him. Just like this sudden 'surprise', it was difficult to keep up with her smart thinking.

I can usually make Kevin go berserk with just three words. Are you bored?How can it be.

Ryan calmed down and looked at the face so close. He could see the fine eyelashes, the fiery passion in the amethyst-like eyes, and of course the bra that was even more protruding due to gravity.

"Alicia, it's easy to be overly enthusiastic, especially when you appear too suddenly."

"Huh? It turns out I didn't give you time to prepare mentally. That's right. To become friends, you must at least understand each other. Come with me~~"

"what?"

"Of course it's lunch. It's already this time. Rose, do you want to come with us?"

The lieutenant in the distance was stunned and shook his head stiffly. She thought Alicia might get into a fight when she saw Ryan for something important, so she guarded her nervously.

The result is this?

This must be the first time the two met, and why did they start dating? Could it be that Miss Alicia is planning to use a honey trap to get information?

The poor lieutenant's brain was shut down and he couldn't keep up with this elf-like girl.

"Ah, that's such a pity. I would have told you to eat less lunch. Ryan, let's go. It's very rude to keep a girl waiting." Alicia stood under the flower wall and stared at Ryan. , the latter also reacts slowly due to brain overload.

Experience told him that nothing in the world was so simple and inexplicable, but he had to believe that Alicia was sincerely inviting him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally trusted his intuition and took the step.

......

So what do I want to do when I come out today?

In the corner, Ryan was holding coffee in his hand, looking at the empty plate on the table, listening to the girl's lively voice, and feeling a little doubtful about life.

Alicia found a coffee shop and ordered a table full of desserts. As she stuffed them into her mouth, she talked about what she had experienced during the trip, such as coffee from Mu Continent and snacks from Shanke tree fruits. Of course, they are also indispensable. Praise for the cakes in Changkong City, even though they are only at the level of a street shop.

She ate very quickly, and her behavior was not elegant, but it felt very real. Gradually, Ryan began to talk without knowing it.

In order to learn various combat skills, he also traveled to many places, and his knowledge far surpassed his age.

"Are the Xiao Long Bao in Jinmen, China so delicious? When you take a bite, the fat inside will come out?"

"And Yizhou cuisine, it turns out it's not just spicy, what's red oil?"

Alicia held her chin up, her eyes were shining, and she didn't bother to hide it, so she quickly wrote the word 'greedy' on her face.

"Just mix chili powder and spices together, heat the oil and pour it on it. After cooling, you can use it to mix noodles or something." Ryan stretched out his hand to gesture and said casually: "The heat is the key. If the oil temperature is too hot, it will It tastes bitter when you eat it.”

"Hey, it sounds like you can cook?"

"I learned some things during the journey. After all, it's boring to focus on becoming stronger. It's inevitable that you will become a demon."

"You really have a wide range of interests." Alicia took a sip of milk tea and rolled her eyes, "What kind of person is a demon? It sounds very sad."

"It's just that you are burdened with an overly heavy fate and regard your purpose as the value of your survival. This is not living at all."

Snapped.

There was a soft sound, and Ryan looked up in shock, seeing the girl in front of him actually applauding, a little baffled: "Am I wrong?"

"That's right. You must see the evil in the world, but you must also not forget the beauty in the world. Keep all the good and evil in your heart, so that you can maintain your true self." Alicia was happier than when she first met Ryan. She was still happy, her eyes turned into crescent moons, "Just like you are now, show your true side in front of me~~~"

I went and actually fell into the trap.

The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched. He originally said he was pretending to be serious today, but he didn't expect that Alicia would tear off the mask without him realizing it, and he would reveal a bitter smile.

"Alicia, your affinity is really terrifying. It makes people take off their guard without even realizing it."

"Yeah, a lot of people say that about me. Do you want to be grateful to me? No, you must be grateful to me." Alicia tilted her head, and it was obvious that she was thinking very hard, and she palmed her hand again. Tapping: "Hey... I really want to eat those Jinmen steamed buns and spring bud white meat."

This is to make it clear that Ryan is not mentally retarded. His first reaction was why should I do it, and then he felt that it was not annoying.

"Then you have to prepare ingredients and have a special kitchen."

"I didn't say it had to be today. Leave the sense of expectation until later, and you will live a happier life every day." Alicia did not mess around, as if she could accurately grasp the 'degree', and sat up slightly, "Okay. , I’ve been the one asking the questions, now it’s your turn.”

It's actually quite fair.

Ryan laughed dumbly and took a serious look at the girl in front of him. The latter was holding a cup and drinking milk tea comfortably. Her eyes were full of interest, as if she was participating in a guessing game, ready to respond to Ryan's challenge at any time.

So, what exactly am I asking?

Ryan was full of questions, but he didn't know where to start.

Ask her what she thinks of the internal strife within the organization.Ask her when will collapse exceed control?Or...ask her as a Herrscher, why should she side with humans?

Countless questions flashed through his mind, and Ryan's eyes passed from that beautiful face, to Yourong Daino, to the empty plates on the table, and finally he laughed unconsciously.

"Won't you get fat if you eat so much cake?"

Ah? ? ?

The pink girl was stunned. She was not a fool. She was already prepared for the tricky question. She visibly blinked when she heard the question.

But the shock only lasted for a moment, and he slowly opened his mouth and stretched out his slender index finger to shake it.

"You can't ask girls this kind of question, but I don't hate it if friends make jokes, Ryan -" Alicia put her hands on the table, holding her face, her bright eyes like The purple stars are covered with a layer of red gauze because of the sunset outside the window.

"Can we be considered friends?"

Ryan looked at the girl with a bright smile, unable to use words to describe the scene at this moment. It was like a painting. The girl in front of him walked out of the painting. Although they had only met for half a day, it seemed like they had known each other for many years.

He hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"That's it."

Chapter No.16 Let me go first

Ryan didn't expect that his lunch would last until the evening. He drank a lot of coffee, and Alicia ate at least three kilograms of cake.

It's a bit like this. Two old men each take a bottle of Erguotou and a plate of peanuts, and they can talk about everything. From Lao Wang next door to the important national affairs, a day can pass before you know it.

"Yeah, I'm full. I'm full."

The street lights were on. Alicia patted her belly with a satisfied look on her face. Ryan followed behind and couldn't help but complain.

"Yes, I ate so many carbohydrate bombs, not just..."

Before he finished speaking, a warm index finger touched his lips, and the girl in front of him raised an eyebrow: "Stop it, it would be impolite to say more."

Ryan swallowed and saw Alicia spin lightly, her skirt dancing like butterfly wings.

"I won't gain weight, no way!"

"Okay, I haven't thanked you for buying me coffee yet. Logically speaking, the man should pay for it." Ryan returned to normal. He didn't know why, but it was always difficult for him to have evil thoughts.

"I invited you to dinner, so of course I'm here. How was your day?"

"Uh......"

This morning, he was still a little confused, feeling the pressure caused by the collapse, and the loneliness of being separated from his friends; as it approached noon, he was still thinking about the internal struggle of the Fire Chaser, and then——

Then I chatted with the girl for a long time, and I couldn't even count how many words I said. I felt like I didn't do anything today, but I didn't waste time being irritated.

Ryan thought for a while and replied in a positive tone: "At least it's easy."

"Really? That's great!" The girl clapped her hands together without saying any unnecessary words.

He saw Alicia stepping onto the road and walking on it with her hands raised, looking rather childish. Because she looked too high-profile, passers-by turned their heads one after another, some out of lust and some out of admiration. , some people are full of jealousy.

The lovely Lissia didn't seem to see anything, and was only concentrating on fighting with Dao Ya. Ryan didn't say anything, and didn't even ask her where she was going. She just followed behind silently, watching her long pink hair swing back and forth.

This was a waste of time, but Ryan didn't hate this kind of waste. He was even somewhat grateful to the netizen who let him go. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to meet Alicia.

"Ryan, what do you usually do?"

"Practice your skills, study various topics, do your best to understand Honkai, and occasionally solve some disasters."

"Really, I didn't ask you about your work, but how do you like to spend your time, drinking or doing other things? Doesn't your roommate like to play basketball?"

Ryan paused for a moment. Basketball was too simple and too difficult for him. If he wasn't careful, he would dunk the backboard.

"Write something to kill time."

"Is it a novel? Where is it serialized? Can I read it?"
