Teresa won't starve

In fact, before, Natasha came over to ask her if she wanted to have dinner together, but Teresa said she would stay here and watch Seele; Natasha didn't understand what they were doing, but she didn't say anything more about it, she just asked Teresa if she wanted to bring the meal over.

At that time, because I didn't know when Xi'er would wake up, it would be bad if the food went bad, so I didn't want it.

Thinking about it now...

"No, it's okay! Xi'er just needs to eat something, don't bother sister Natasha!" Xi'er shook her arms again and again, stopping the thought of 'Theresa went to find Natasha's hot food'.

Of course, shaking her hands was an instinct, and she wasn't sure if Teresa could see it.

"Trouble Natasha?"

Teresa didn't understand what this was referring to.

"Yeah." Xi'er didn't care if Teresa understood or not, so she directly skipped the topic: "By the way, sister Teresa finished her meal?"

"No, I don't actually..."

"Then let's go together!"

Teresa looked at the expectation in Xier's eyes, and found that she seemed unable to refuse.

Even if she originally meant to say——

......

Xier arranged to sit on the brighter side due to the moonlight, looking at the amber mushroom soup in the bowl - I believe it will turn into mushroom jelly soon.

Teresa seemed to have no appetite.

The reason is--

"Sister Teresa, why don't you drink?"

Xi'er, who was sitting directly opposite, was carefully scooping the soup into her mouth with a small spoon, making people who saw it very worried that she would accidentally pour the soup into her nose.

"Me." Teresa scooped up a little bit with a spoon, trying to put it into her mouth with courage, but her hands couldn't control her, so she could only put it back to the original place: "Wait a minute."

She doesn't like mushrooms!It can even be said to be extremely annoying!

However, Xier didn't know, and thought she was too hungry and had no appetite: "Sister Teresa, don't worry, Xier will always wait for Sister Teresa."

"...Don't wait for me, just go back to sleep after drinking."

If Xier kept watching, how would she find a chance to dump this thing?

557 "Pampering"

"Sister Teresa is joking again, how could Xier leave sister Theresa?"

Seele didn't take Teresa's words to heart at all, and even refuted her with the usual tone and language habits like a normal conversation, which made Teresa very embarrassed.

How should she divert Seele's attention?

"By the way, Seele?"

"?"

Xier hadn't completely swallowed the chopped mushrooms in her mouth, which made her unable to make a sound with the spoon still in her mouth—to avoid choking herself, she could only express her doubts with her eyes.

Although she wasn't sure if Teresa could see clearly.

"Do you think..." Teresa thought about the scene and found that it matched a certain scene: "We are a bit like having a candlelight dinner now?"

"Not like."

"why?"

"Does Sister Teresa know what the elements of a candlelight dinner are?"

"I know! Candles, red wine, steak, two people..." As she spoke, Teresa counted the number, and then she made up her mind: "Why don't you find some candles."

"Sister Teresa, do you want to burn the house down?" Even Xier had never fantasized about such a childlike reckless thought: "And don't say that we don't have red wine, even if we do, we are still minors and cannot drink."

"But I'm an adult!"

"Sister Teresa thinks that she said such a thing, who would believe it?"

"Wouldn't Xier believe it?"

"hope......"

Xi'er also had to admit that this reason was so powerful that she couldn't refute it.He could only sigh helplessly, stood up and walked towards the closet.

After a while, I brought it over with a white candle, put it on the tray and lit it carefully, so as not to splash the fire on the solid wooden table.

If the orphanage was accidentally set on fire, the two of them would probably be thrown out by the mad Cocolia, right?

While thinking about all kinds of possibilities, Xi'er lit a candle; a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, making the face that was gradually brightening under the candlelight even sweeter.

"Okay, is that all right?"

Put one of the trays with candles on Teresa's side, so Seele can finally see Teresa's face clearly; at the same time, it also makes my side brighter, so I don't have to fumble like before Drink mushroom soup.

Speaking of which--

Xier looked at Teresa's plate that suddenly became clean, with 'doubt' written all over her face: "Sister Teresa, where's your soup?"

"One mouthful!"

"Is that so?"

It would be fine if it was someone else, but Teresa... Xier expressed her disbelief!

But Xier didn't hold on.

She won't force Theresa to like something, as long as Theresa doesn't starve herself.

After thinking about it, Xi'er went to get two slices of white bread, spread some Yunmei (Note) jam on them, and handed them to Teresa.

"I'm not hungry, I just..."

"eat!"

"...yes." (Far Eastern)

Under the coercion of Seele, the weak Teresa had to obediently obey the order and eat this humiliating sandwich white bread. (You play a lot)

Of course, although the bread is not small, it only takes a few bites for Teresa, so she ate it up quickly.

Theresa held her chin and saw that Xier was almost finished drinking, so she brought up the old things and talked about what happened during the day.

558 "Serious Teresa"

"Xi'er, let me ask you something."

Seeing Xier's 'listening carefully', Teresa didn't procrastinate, and directly asked about Xier suddenly taking out the sickle during the day and cutting her wrist with a utility knife along the way.

"Wrist cut?"

Xi'er was a little dazed when she heard that, and looked down at her white and unmarked wrist, but she didn't find any signs of scars on it.

"Don't remember?"

Seeing Xier's appearance as if she had heard about this incident for the first time, Teresa knew that she must have forgotten what happened during the day, or it was actually another person who did this at that time.

If there is a choice, Teresa would rather Xier forget, rather than the latter possibility.

"Okay, actually I'm just playing for fun..."

"Wait a minute! Sister Teresa, stop talking! Xier! Xier!"

Xi'er stood up in surprise, and reached into the pocket of her clothes to look for something, but even if she turned the pocket outside, she still couldn't find the item.

Sweat overflowed from her smooth forehead, ran down her cheeks, and finally pooled on her chin.Just as it was about to fall onto the clothes, one suddenly reached out and handed her a piece of paper.

After Xi'er saw it, she was not polite, and directly took it over to wipe off her sweat: "Thank you."

"What exactly are you looking for?"

"What are you looking for?" Hearing Teresa's reminder, Xi'er remembered from the panic, and it would be fine to ask Teresa about this matter: "By the way, sister Teresa, have you seen me?" A utility knife?"

"Speaking of which, where did you get such a dangerous thing?"

Xi'er didn't answer, but shook Theresa's shoulder lightly: "Say it!"

"Okay, okay, it's in the corridor on the second floor."

"Eh? Is it in the corridor? Why didn't Xier notice it when she came out?"

"This......"

In fact, when Xier mentioned this, she completely forgot that the lights in the corridor were not turned on, and it was normal for her not to be able to see.

But Teresa didn't see it either, which seemed strange.

"Then let's go back and look for it?"

"It can only be this way."

......

However, things did not go so smoothly.

Even if Xier risked the fire, and joined forces with Teresa by the light of the candle, she still couldn't find the lost utility knife, and she only hoped that no child would pick it up.

That would be too dangerous, both for others and for the child himself.

This made Xier blame herself, because if she didn't bring it out...

"Okay, you!" Teresa pressed Xier's head, and the strength she used just made Xier tilt her sideways, but she didn't fall just right: "Don't take everything on yourself."

"But......"

"Go to Natasha after dawn and let her help you find a solution. If it doesn't work, go to that woman Cocolia, she should have a solution."

Seele didn't pay much attention to Teresa's name for Cocolia.

The relationship between the two has not been a day or two.

Seriously thinking about the feasibility of this matter, Xier knew that she couldn't think of a better way, so she could only reluctantly nod: "Then do as Sister Teresa said."

"Don't worry too much, everyone has grown up in the past few years. Even Rosalia and Lilia are not as naughty as before."

Although a certain pink hair is still often beaten by Cocolia......

"Seele knows this too. But—"

Xi'er also understood that she was not the only one who grew up, but she still couldn't avoid worrying.

"Instead of worrying about this or that, it's better to think about how to solve the problem after it happens and how to minimize the loss." Teresa spoke in a rare serious manner.

Xier was not used to hearing it, "Sister Teresa, which book did you read that from?"

"This is from experience!"

559 "Footsteps I Can't Keep Up With"

With this and that kind of worry, Xier almost didn't fall asleep all night; so that in the morning, she felt a slightly haggard feeling.

Seeing her worrying about others (Note), Teresa had no choice but to wake up Natasha, who was still dreaming, right after dawn.

This almost made Natasha tear up with Teresa.

But after knowing the cause of the incident, I didn't say anything more, and helped find the lost utility knife together.

And ask each child one by one, hoping they can tell the truth.

It's just that the final result is not ideal. Even Natasha doesn't know which child deliberately lied, so she can only leave this matter to Cocolia to have a headache.

......

The most unwilling situation still appeared, which made Xier feel extremely tormented in her heart, so that she couldn't eat breakfast at all, and the whole person sat there in a daze almost the whole time.

"Don't do that."

Wearing a purely hand-knitted wheat-colored wool shawl, Natasha took a little more effort to untie Xier's "entangled" hands. These small hands, which were pinched and already somewhat blue and white, gradually returned to a relatively healthy milky white.

"Sister Natasha?"

It wasn't until this time that Xi'er suddenly realized it.

I didn't know when I had already left my original seat, standing in front of the glass window and staring at the snow scene outside in a daze.
