They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

"I just wanted to relax with you. Would the beautiful Miss Alicia give me that chance?"

Seeing Ling Yu's outstretched hand, Alicia paused slightly, then chuckled softly, took Ling Yu's hand, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Noticing Alicia's pause, Ling Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

Normally, Alicia would have taken the hand without hesitation or a second thought.

……

"Eden told me you didn't sleep a wink last night?"

Walking along the streets of Hesper, Ling Yu spoke up.

Alicia paused slightly, then said apologetically, "I just have a bit of insomnia."

“Eden is the same; he talks about these things all the time.”

"She was just worried about you," Ling Yu said with a smile.

Alicia remained silent.

"Ellie."

At this moment, Ling Yu, who was walking beside him, suddenly spoke up.

Alicia, who was walking briskly with her hands behind her back, paused, turned around, and looked at Ling Yu, asking, "What's wrong?"

Do you know who my favorite person is?

Alicia's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly calm as she asked the question.

"Who?"

“It’s you, Alicia.”

Alicia froze for a moment, a hint of panic that she herself didn't even realize appeared on her face.

Then, she quickly asked in a joking tone, "Is this... a confession?"

"Of course, after all, no one dislikes Alicia."

"Do you know how people from our area address you?" Ling Yu suddenly asked.

Alicia immediately cast a curious glance at her.

“Paradise lesbians, and… pink fat women.”

Alicia was stunned, staring blankly at Ling Yu.

After a long while, her cute little face puffed up like a little bun.

She could recognize the one in front, but what's with the one behind? She's not fat at all!

He spoke with a hint of displeasure:

"Who came up with that nickname? It's very rude to call a girl fat!"

“These are all affectionate nicknames,” Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Of course, there's another name for you, which I think you'll like."

"What is it?"

Feeling slightly unhappy, Alicia decided to listen anyway.

Ling Yu's smile faded, and he said seriously, "A flawless person."

"Hmm, this is not bad," Alicia said happily.

Ling Yu smiled and continued, "Actually, before I first encountered your storyline, I thought you were quite pretentious. After all, I never thought there could be someone as wonderful as you in the world."

"But as we got to know each other, your gentleness, kindness, equality, and sincerity attracted me every moment."

"This is the first time I've met someone who, apart from my parents, only has eyes for me."

"So in my world, you have unprecedented popularity."

"You've fulfilled your dream of becoming a freelancer, haven't you?" Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Is it more popular than Eden?" Alicia asked.

Ling Yu was somewhat surprised, wondering if Alicia's focus was a little strange.

But he still replied:

Do you know the Western song "Amen" that praises God?

Alicia nodded slightly.

"Do you know what we call you?"

"Amen?" Alicia asked tentatively.

"It's Love Gate."

"I am not very talented, but I would like to call myself the Archbishop of the Gate of Love." Ling Yu chuckled.

Alicia could easily understand the meaning behind Ling Yu's words.

She rolled her eyes in response.

She turned around, leaving her back to Ling Yu.

Then, with a slightly reproachful tone, he said, "Since you are my archbishop, what's the deal with Qingtan and Little Fairy Doctor?"

"I think you are not just my archbishop, but hold several positions."

"Tell me, who else are you going to push?"

"Gone."

"Gone?"

“The only person I’ve ever pushed is you,” Ling Yu said earnestly.

"Then what's the story behind this ring?"

Seeing Alicia raise her right hand, Ling Yu's face immediately showed embarrassment: "You really want to hear it?"

"You think I'll just listen to you?"

Seeing this, Ling Yu disregarded everything else.

He said directly, "This is a bonus I received when I pre-ordered your Herrscher of Humanity figure."

"I've kept it with me ever since it was mailed back."

"I hope that when I dream about it tonight, I can marry you..."

Ling Yu blushed as she said this.

Honestly, it takes real courage to talk about your fantasies in front of real people.

After a long while, seeing that there was no response, Ling Yu raised his head and met Alicia's flushed face.

"Are you alright?" Ling Yu asked.

"No, it's okay."

“Ellie, I never had a chance before, but now, I always find myself wanting to get closer to you.”

"Perhaps my behavior was a bit too aggressive, causing you to feel uneasy."

"But now that we've come this far, I feel it's necessary to tell you my true thoughts."

After saying that, Ling Yu took a deep breath.

She said earnestly, "I like you, Alicia, and I don't want to be just friends with you."

"I know you love everyone equally, but I still hope that your gaze will always be on me."

Hearing Ling Yu's sincere words, Alicia was stunned.

At that moment, her heart was in turmoil.

"That's all for today's topic, I'll be going now."

Alicia finished speaking quickly and then fled as if she were escaping.

indoor

Eden, who was drinking tea, heard a click as the door closed.

Then she saw him leaning against the door.

Alicia, her small hands lightly clutching her collar, was breathing softly.

A look of confusion immediately appeared on her face: "My dear Ellie, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm a little sleepy, Eden. Don't wake me up for lunch."

After saying that, Alicia went back to her room.

"Are you really able to sleep?"

Watching Alicia's departing figure, Eden chuckled softly and stirred the black tea in his cup evenly with a spoon.

He said something that was unclear.

soon

Ling Yu is back too.

"Ling Yu, if you really like Ai Li, please treat her well."

"She is my best friend, and I don't want her to get hurt."

As soon as Ling Yu entered, he heard Eden's words.

“I will,” Ling Yu replied earnestly.

……

In the room

Alicia felt her heart pounding and her whole body burning.

This was the first time she had ever felt this way.

She can usually remain calm and collected in the face of anything, so why is she suddenly like this?

She looked at the kettle on the bedside table and poured herself a glass of cold water.

After swallowing it, Alicia felt her heartbeat calm down considerably.

To be honest, this was the first time Alicia had ever heard someone express a desire to marry her.

When she was chasing after the flame, she received quite a few love letters.

But she always thanked her and then declined.

Alicia had thought she would spend her life single, but Ling Yu's behavior really baffled her.

She recalled all the little things he had done for her, and then her gaze fell on the ring.

The fact that she didn't take off the ring the moment Ling Yu put it on her already showed her attitude.

Eden saw this.

Deng Deng Deng

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Alicia paused, then called out, "Who's there?"

"I am Ling Yu."

"What are you here for?"

Alicia said hastily.

"I've made some food. If you're not going to eat lunch, have something before you go to sleep," Ling Yu said from outside the door.

Click!
