"Is this sorbet?" Alyssa said with bright eyes as she just put a spoonful of sorbet into her mouth.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
"Yeah! Delicious!"
Su Cheng and Alyssa were currently in the ice cream shop that Deng Jiaer had recommended to Su Cheng and Alan. The ice cream they sold tasted very much like ice cream.
Just now, after Su Cheng rescued Alyssa from the patrol, Su Cheng took Alyssa to taste the ice cream in this ice cream shop on the pretext of helping Alyssa calm down.
"So," Su Cheng said while stirring the ice cream in his bowl, "can you tell me why you are wearing a scarf and covering your face with a scarf in this weather? Why are you dressed like this?
You look like an idiot..."
Before Su Cheng could pronounce the last syllable of the word "egg" in the word "idiot", he swallowed it back.
"I heard it!" Alyssa said in a deliberately unkind tone, "You said I was a fool! You were talking like that to the captain of the patrol just now! Why did you emphasize the word 'fool'?"
Idiot!"
"Okay, okay..." Su Cheng looked helpless and raised his hands in surrender, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so honest."
"You are really annoying sometimes. Humph!"
Alyssa, who was actually not angry at all, snorted with her nose, put another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, and then asked:
"Before I answer why you dressed so strangely on the street, please answer me a question first. Why can you recognize me, Su Cheng? I obviously covered my face."
"Huh? Why are you covering your face? Don't you still have your eyes exposed?" Su Cheng pointed to his eyes as he spoke.
"Can you recognize me just by my eyes?"
"Yes. After all, Alyssa, your eyes are very beautiful, so you are quite easy to recognize." Su Cheng said seriously, which made Alyssa blush instantly.
Alyssa quickly put another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, hoping to use the cool ice cream to press down her burning cheeks.
"Next, next question! Why did you pretend not to know me when you recognized me from the beginning?"
"Because you were covering your face with a scarf. Since you were covering your face, it means that you probably didn't want to be recognized by others at the time, so I didn't know why you suddenly covered most of yourself with a scarf.
But I still decided to cooperate with you and pretend I don’t know you.”
"Then, didn't you leave after I bumped into you? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"Because I'm worried about you." Su Cheng put a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth and said angrily, "You have a scarf covering your face, it's like it's written on your face, 'I am
Suspicious person, please come and interrogate me quickly. You will definitely be investigated by the patrol team if you look like this."
"So, for the sake of your safety, I turned back again. As soon as I turned back, I saw that you were caught by the patrol team just now. You also know what happened next. I and that patrol
The captain of the patrol team got into a panic, rescued you, and then took you to eat ice cream."
"Well... I'm really sorry... for causing you trouble... Thank you."
"No need to apologize. After all, we are all so familiar with each other, so we should help each other."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Alyssa seemed to suddenly remember something. She blushed slightly and asked in a low voice like a mosquito:
"Um...Su Cheng, after I bumped into you just now, when you pretended not to know me, what you said are all true..."
"Words? What words?"
"Just, it's just..." Alyssa's face turned redder, "Those words about me being beautiful and having nice eyes... weren't meant to flatter me, were they?"
"Ah, this...it's all true." Su Cheng continued to say seriously, "After all, Alyssa, you are indeed very beautiful."
"Hmm... thank you." Alyssa's face turned even redder, "I have rarely received compliments on my appearance from the opposite sex. I don't know if those people are too afraid of me or something, but I basically just
I have never heard other members of the opposite sex compliment me on my appearance...how should I put it...I feel a little happy..."
"?is that so?"
"um, yes……"
Alyssa's words caused the two of them to be enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
After a while, Su Cheng coughed a few times, breaking the strange atmosphere:
"Well, then, Alyssa, can you tell me why you wear a scarf and go out on the street?"
"..." Alyssa was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's because of the clothes I'm wearing."
"What's wrong with the clothes you're wearing? It's very beautiful. It's a cute style dress that Pendragon is popular now."
"Huh? Su Cheng, you actually know about this dress?"
"The waiter at the restaurant where Kai Luo works told me."
"Oh, that's it. Well, yes, the dress I'm wearing is exactly the dress that Pendragon is popular with right now. This dress is nice, but it doesn't look good on me at all, does it?"
"This style of dress only looks good on smaller people like your sister. For a girl like me who is 1.7 meters tall and has a lot of muscles, this style of dress is not suitable for me at all.
Yes, you will look particularly funny wearing this skirt..."
"But I'm not willing to go out without wearing this skirt once. However, if an acquaintance finds me wearing this skirt, I will feel embarrassed and ashamed. So in order to be able to go out on the street without being discovered by acquaintances, I use this
He covered most of his face with a scarf and changed his hairstyle."
"So that's it...then it seems that you and I are very destined. In the past two days, I happened to go out for a walk every day, and I happened to bump into you when I went out today."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Alyssa raised her eyebrows. Thinking of something, Alyssa asked Su Cheng:
"By the way, Su Cheng. I met Carol and your sister on the street yesterday. They said something seemed to have happened to you recently. You have been absent-minded and preoccupied in the past few days. Did something happen?
Can you tell me? Are you worried about anything?"
After listening to Alyssa's words, Su Cheng's pupils shrank slightly.
The hand holding the spoon unconsciously exerted a little force.
Alyssa continued at this time:
"If you have any troubles, you can tell me freely. I am very strict and will never tell anyone else. I will also try my best to help you. I am also an earl-level noble.
Born as the daughter of a unified knight, I still have many connections in the empire that I can use."
