Chapter 45: Mutated Strawberry

  "Oh, Xiao Wu, tell me about your views on Alice." Upon hearing Lin Wu's words, Elena suddenly became interested.

  "Alice, this little girl, although often mischievous and troublesome, is actually very simple and kind-hearted. Her pranks are just to get people's attention, who let her have a perfect sister?" Lin Wu said lightly.

  Irina looked at Lin Wu in surprise, she couldn't believe that in just a few short months, Lin Wu could understand Alice so well. "Is it because I made Alice feel neglected?" Irina asked.

  "No, this should be Alice's own thoughts, because the elder sister is too perfect, and Alice, who grew up in a similar way to the elder sister, can't help but be compared. In this way, Alice becomes useless in front of the elder sister, which is a great harm to her self-esteem. That's why she would use an extreme method that is opposite to the elder sister to express herself." Lin Wu said.

  It's not clear if it was due to Alice's bold move earlier, but Lin Wu found someone to talk to and continued: "However, what Alice did had the opposite effect. The more mischievous Alice became, the worse people's opinions of her were. Now Alice is known as the little witch that everyone fears. But who knows the pain in Alice's heart? I suppose she doesn't have many friends."

  Alice, not far away, quietly listened to Lin Wu and Eirina's conversation, biting her lip at this moment, tears constantly flowing in her eye sockets. Lin Wu's words expressed Alice's heart, his words were like a gentle breeze gently comforting Alice's lonely and unconsolable heart. "Little Lin, this guy, wooo..." Alice rubbed her eyes hard, sobbing lightly.

  Irina heard Lin Wu's words and suddenly felt that she, as a sister, was really not doing her job well. Apart from giving Alice good food and fun, apart from indulging all her shortcomings, she had hardly ever cared about Alice's inner world.

  "Thank you! Let you be Lise's guardian, I think this is the wisest decision of my life." Elena said softly.

  Suddenly, Lin Wu and Elena turned their gaze towards a clump of bushes, "She's gone," Elena said.

  Nodding his head, Lin Wu said: "If Big Sister has time, spend more time with Alice."

  "Let's wait for a while." Elena said, preparing to get up. But as soon as she stood up, her face suddenly turned pale and her body swayed, almost falling down. Lin Wu quickly came forward to support Elena.

  Months of busyness, plus the Tulip family starting to make a move against the Carnation family and for the upcoming Rights Division race, left Eriol exhausted, even her high-ranking magical prowess couldn't withstand it.

  "Miss, are you alright?" Lin Wu helped Elinna sit down and asked anxiously.

  "It's nothing, I'm just a bit tired, I'll be fine after a rest." Irina said with a wave of her hand.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Wu took out a few things and handed them to Elena, "Big sister, take these things, eat some when you're tired."

  "This is..." Elena gazed at a grass in Lin Wu's hand, an especially large strawberry and a familiar sweet pastry.

  "Hmm, these strawberries and sweet cakes can replenish qi and blood, while this flaxseed can restore one's spirit." Lin Wu briefly introduced the uses of these items.

  These are all things from the game, except for the cookies. The strawberries are good stuff, mutated strawberries that not only restore health but also cure bleeding status. And these mutated strawberries have the highest health restoration in the game, excluding alchemy potions.

  And the hemp leaf also recovers magic power, and the amount of recovery is also the highest among its kind. However, eating this thing will have a certain probability of dizziness, naturally these are not a big deal, and Lin Wu also truthfully said these things out.

  But these things are not many in stock, and compared to potions, they need a period of time to recover, unlike those potions that recover instantly. However, this also makes it possible for anyone to use them without worrying about being injured by a large amount of magic pouring in due to insufficient strength.

  Elena took the things handed over by Lin Wu, and she naturally knew the preciousness of these things. Just that pastry made Elena know the value of this thing, and the other two things were obviously better than this pastry from Lin Wu's explanation.

  Thinking of this, Irina couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Wu, why are you doing this? These should be very precious."

  When Elena heard this, Lin Wu smiled and said: "I say I admire the beauty of Miss Yiren, is this reason enough to get close to her?"

  Elena shook her head and said, "No, if it were really like that, then Zhang could have taken advantage of the situation openly and honestly. Why didn't he? I don't see any desire in your eyes." Elena stared straight at Lin Wu.

  "Is it? It seems that being a good person is also very difficult." Lin Wu said with a smile.

  Elena's face turned red upon hearing this.

  "There was a young man who, for some reason, was detested, hated and pursued by everyone. The young man thought that this world had no place for him, and he also detested the world..."

  Irina suddenly heard Lin Wu say a completely unrelated sentence, and she was slightly stunned, then listened carefully.

  "But one day, the boy encountered a warmth he had never felt before. At that moment, the boy's heart was melted by this warmth, and so the boy felt willing to do anything to protect this warmth, but the boy failed to fulfill his final wish, falling down along the way..."

  "This young man is so pitiful." Irina's expression changed upon hearing this.

  "No, the young man was very satisfied before he died, because he got a warmth, which was enough for him..." Lin Wu muttered.

  At this moment, a dead silence emanated from Lin Wu's body, but the warm story he was telling at that moment seemed so precious in that silent atmosphere.

  Irina didn't know when her nose became a little sour, and for the first time she felt a hint of curiosity towards Lin Wu, "Why is there such a dead silence around him?"

  Before he knew it, the sky had completely darkened, and a bright moon hung high in the air. The moonlight shone on Irina's face, and Lin Wu gazed at that absolutely beautiful face, and inexplicably said: "So beautiful!"

  After finishing speaking, Lin Wu suddenly came back to his senses and hastily said: "Young lady, it's very late, you should rest early." As he spoke, Lin Wu hurriedly left.

  "Ah..." After leaving Irina, Lin Wu let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that because of the existence of those memories, he was too influenced by Irina, and he always unconsciously wanted to reveal his true feelings when she was around him.
