"The clothes designed by Eden are always so bold, but they all suit me. This swimsuit is also very beautiful, right? I rarely wear it out."

Lin Wei turned his head to look left and right to make sure that the map had not been secretly changed while he was sleeping. This was still an ordinary rooftop, not a beach, nor a summer hotel.

"I said, you've come to the wrong set. The summer event isn't here."

Lin Wei closed his eyes and lay back down, then he took out a new pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on his face.

Just to be on the safe side, Lin Wei simply bought a few more when Padu was selling them.

Just in time for use.

"I'm quite far from the beach or the island, don't make your friends wait anxiously, bye, I won't see you off...bye..."

Lin Wei weakly raised his hand and waved it, as if to shoo away a fly, and turned over with disgust, changing from his original lazy supine position to an even lazier side position, leaving a ruthless back view to Alicia.

Lin Wei was already exhausted from all the intrigues with Wei Erwei, and now he just wanted to give in.

"Bang!"

Lin Wei, lying on his side, felt an unnatural breeze blowing on his face, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, which completely woke up Lin Wei's sleepiness and made him jump up reflexively.

A new beach lounge chair was placed next to her. Alicia lay on it comfortably, humming an unknown tune. The sunglasses that had been snatched from her face were so tight that they almost covered half of her small face.

She looked at Lin Wei who suddenly sat up, and pretended to be surprised and pulled down her sunglasses, revealing a lovely eye. Her casually scattered pink hair playfully covered half of her face.

"Hehe, I just saw that you were enjoying it, so I wanted to try it too. You can't continue to wear combat clothes while enjoying sunbathing, right?"

Lin Wei looked at Alicia speechlessly as she acted foolishly in all seriousness. Perhaps that was what she really thought.

Alicia looked Lin Wei up and down, and smiled smugly again.

"Ah, it's so rare that you actually stare at me like this. I would be shy~ How about it, am I good-looking?"

As she spoke, she stretched her slender waist, which shone like a gem in the sunlight.

Of course, that was just an exaggeration, but the existence of Alicia seemed to make this "shine" become real.

"Really? Why are you so silent in front of me? You are so lively in front of other people, especially with Wei Wei. You two interacted so passionately and intimately. It's really surprising."

Seeing that Lin Wei was unwilling to talk, Alicia showed a distressed expression.

"You call that 'intimate'?"

Lin Wei was a little overwhelmed. How come this guy was also an expert at gossip?

Passion, yes, the kind of passion that involves real guns and real swords and artillery fire.

If Kevin hadn't jumped out and intervened, Weiwei and I would have been the one to die that day!

"Of course! I didn't expect that you actually have such a passionate boy in your heart~ Weiwei was just complaining to me that it was a bit troublesome to rebuild the Spiral Workshop."

"Really? I guess she's just trying to take advantage of the situation. I don't believe she didn't take this opportunity to copy the Elysian version of the Twelfth Key of God."

Lin Wei also calmed down and lay down in a comfortable position again.

The two lounge chairs were so close to each other that Lin Wei and Alicia were almost lying head to head. With every breath, she could smell the unique fragrance that belonged to Alicia, which was unforgettable.

Alicia didn't care, or rather, this was exactly the effect she wanted to achieve.

"You know her very well~ Unfortunately, that's not entirely true. Weiwei really likes the new toy she just got, but the excitement didn't last long. Maybe it's because of the bad compatibility with the God Key. The twelfth God Key feels clumsy in her hands, not as magical as it is in your hands?"

"So you mean to say that Wei Wei lost money on this deal?"

Lin Wei's tone was strange.

"Well... not really."

Alicia frowned and pondered for a few seconds, thinking for a while.

"Wei Weiwei is the person in charge of the Key of God Project. How could she give up so easily? Now she seems to be competing with it and is ready to completely dismantle it and study it carefully."

"Oh~"

Lin Wei was a little disappointed. She wanted to see Wei Erwei wailing like a loser, but it seemed like there was no chance anymore.

I simply closed my eyes and prepared to go back to sleep.

"...Lin Wei, has anyone ever told you that it's hard for others to get into your heart? Just like now, we are so close, yet we seem so far away..."

After a moment's silence, Alicia sighed and said helplessly, her tone sounding a little fragile, which was rare.

Lin Wei opened his eyes and looked at the sky through his sunglasses, which was full of various colors. He felt mixed emotions. After hesitating for a while, he responded.

"I remember that this was your first sentence when we first met."

"Oh, you still remember? I thought you had forgotten it. After all, so much time has passed..."

Alicia was a little surprised and also a little happy. She was still valued?

"Yeah, I'm also surprised. Why am I so worthy of Miss Alicia's attention? I still can't figure this out."

Lin Wei never understood why Alicia paid attention to her, nor did she understand why she resisted getting close to Alicia.

But the atmosphere today is subtle, intimate and comfortable.

If I break it again, it would be a sin, right?

Oh, Alysia, you are really scheming...

After all, the other party had good intentions, so Lin Wei had no choice but to start a frank conversation with Alicia.

"The answer is obviously very simple, because I like you very much."

Alicia closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the sunlight, speaking as a matter of course.

The two of them were lying together with their heads touching, in an "eight" shape. Alicia could feel Lin Wei's emotional state without making any movement.

"Really? It's an honor."

Lin Wei sighed and didn't find it strange.

Alicia's "like" is very precious because her requirements are very high; but it is not precious because her standards are always changing.

Lin Wei didn’t think that there was anything special about him that could make Alicia, who had seen the ups and downs of the world, the most magnificent epics and the darkest abysses, look at him differently.

Maybe there was something about me that she found interesting.

"It's really perfunctory..."

Alicia was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Wei's bland reaction and muttered something.

"When you first entered the paradise of the afterlife, I saw you being very gentle to Ling."

"I've never met anyone who would be willing to be friends with a Herrscher."

Doesn't Eden count? Lin Wei had this strange thought in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. He just laughed and said,

"Where is the Herrscher? You know Ling, she's just a girl who can't find her home, isn't she?"

"...Yes, it's a pity. You made me see a different possibility. Our era could have taken a different path because of this."

Alicia felt a little regretful that she didn't have the time to say a few more words to Ling. As a lonely Herrscher, she wished so much to have such a friend.

"...You have tried your best. When the Twelve Herrschers were born, people were already in despair and the strings were about to break. You actually had no other choice. After all, billions of people have died because of the Honkai, and Ling is just a special victim. In that era, death was a matter of course, and 'survival' itself was a luxury."

Lin Wei comforted Alicia with a sigh, although he also knew that she didn't need his comfort.

"Maybe it's because I'm not an eyewitness of your era, and I'm looking at it from the perspective of an outsider, so I can be relatively calm and objective."

How can there be true objectivity? It is just because it is “none of my business”.

Not only your era that has been obliterated, but also this era outside the paradise that is still continuing, I am also a bystander.

A bystander who was swept into the torrent and unable to leave.

It does not belong to the world fifty thousand years ago, nor does it belong to the world fifty thousand years later.

Only in this paradise of the past, which also does not belong to this era, can one feel a little more at ease.

"Yes, our time is over."

Alicia suddenly spoke up.

"Is this why you have been keeping your distance from me and other Yingjie?"

Lin Wei was silent for a while, speaking insincerely.

"After all, it's been 50,000 years."

"Yes, Lin Wei, you will eventually leave the paradise and return to real life, and then slowly and eventually forget everything here."

Ai Lishiya's tone was somewhat regretful.

"I can clearly feel that you have a lot of secrets in your heart, but I don't know if I will have the chance to read this interesting storybook again."

Your map of Yan State is too short. Don’t you try to cover it up?

Lin Wei was somewhat helpless. It was difficult to tell the truth and falsehood in Alicia's tone and words. It was very elusive.

"Secret? What secrets could I have? If you want to know anything, just ask."

Lin Wei started to fool around.

"Really? You can't just fool around with cute girls, okay?"

Alicia turned over and sat up, putting her cute face close to Lin Wei's.

"First question, why do you keep avoiding me?"

Chapter 15: Alicia's Thousand-Layered Routine

"First question, why do you keep avoiding me?"

Alicia put her face close to Lin Wei, with a smile on her lips and eyes full of inquisitive curiosity.

Lin Weixian glanced at her through his sunglasses, then took off his sunglasses and put his hand on her face, pushing her away for a distance.

"To show hospitality for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."

Don't get so close to me, we're not that close.

"No, you lied~"

Alicia pushed her "new" sunglasses to the top of her head and moved closer to Lin Wei with a smile. This time, there was really no obstruction between their sight lines.

Maybe it was too oppressive, or maybe it was too intimate and inappropriate. Anyway, Alicia finally took a step back and sat back on her recliner, sitting in a relaxed and playful posture, with a light and cheerful tone.

"But I forgive you for not being sincere. After all, Lin Wei is just like Kevin, Qianjie and Kosmo. He is a reserved and shy boy. He likes to keep his true feelings to himself and let girls guess and make them unable to sleep or eat... Alas, he is really a naughty bad boy."

Lin Wei couldn't help but look at Alysia with eyes that showed care for a mentally retarded child——

You said it the other way around, right?

Aren’t you the most unpredictable person in the entire paradise?

Can we have a little self-awareness?

But apparently, there is no such word in Alicia's dictionary.

"How about this, for the sake of fairness, we ask and answer one by one, okay?"

Alicia stretched out a beautiful finger and touched her face little by little, revealing a thoughtful expression, as if she was thinking about something.

"You ask me a question, and I answer you. Then I ask you a question, and you answer me. And so on. How about that? Isn't this a great idea?"

What do you mean by sitting in a row and eating fruit? Are you a kid who hasn’t grown up?

Lin Wei had a headache. How could there be such a person?

"Huh? Why don't you say anything? Do you have any better ideas?"

Seeing Lin Wei taking out a new pair of sunglasses from under the seat and putting them on his face, Alicia reached out and held him down.

"Just tell me what you think. Don't make me sad like Kevin did, okay?"

"..."

Lin Wei couldn't hold it anymore, not only because she couldn't get her hand free or even move it at all, but more because she couldn't stand Alicia's coquettish tone.

"Do you get along with other people this way?"

Lin Wei felt as if Lin Daiyu was possessed when she asked this question...

(ノへ ̄,)

Although I wasn't being jealous, I was just looking for something to talk about to ease the awkward atmosphere.
