"How about... letting her stay at our house for a few days?" Alicia asked tentatively.
Lilia hugged Alicia tighter, blinking her big eyes forcefully. They looked quite bright and even glistened with tears, making her look extremely pitiful.
An Yu shook her head: "One thing at a time. Lilia was dizzy just now because she was born weak and sickly, and it had nothing to do with being beaten up."
Moreover, the fact that Lilia, who is inherently weak and sickly, can still be beaten up by Bronya all day long already shows that Bronya is no pushover.
However, as she grew up, Lilia seemed to have fewer mischievous ideas.
Lilia coughed violently twice at just the right moment, probably because she wasn't wearing enough clothes. An Yu sighed and draped her coat over her shoulders.
"Let's take her home first. The boss will come to pick her up in a bit."
Lilia's little mind started working again, and she realized she would need to run to the park soon.
Although she knew she shouldn't cause trouble for the adults, Lilia felt that she wasn't a child anymore and shouldn't listen to her older sister all the time.
Alicia also draped her coat over Lilia, leaving herself only in a cashmere sweater, which thankfully was thick and warm.
“Little guy, you have to be a good boy and listen to me.”
Before Alicia could finish speaking softly, she suddenly sighed. Something was wrong. Why was Bronya's sister constantly refreshing in her house all day long?
"Lilia will be a good girl, Alicia-neechan~"
"Never abandon Lilia..."
Lilia, wrapped in two coats, felt her body temperature rise rapidly. She sniffed her red nose; the temperature had dropped drastically these past few days. Just a few days ago, she could run around barefoot at home.
Alicia turned around and glanced at the girl again.
Somewhat curiously: "How old are you this year?"
It looks so small.
An Yu didn't speed either; he followed slowly behind, unable to hear their conversation, but he was certain they were safe.
Lilia was silent for a moment, seemingly considering her options.
"Is it inconvenient to say?"
Alicia guessed the reason.
A girl's age is indeed a secret, and she can understand that.
“Lilia…” Lilia’s voice was barely audible: “She is the same age as An Yu…”
Alicia: "..."
She looked at the blue furry little bundle wrapped up like a dumpling on the back of the electric scooter, trying hard to look young, and was speechless for a moment.
Then why are you pretending to be young and innocent with me?
Volume 1: Chapter 198-196 Dude!
Alicia was sometimes really helpless. If Lilia were really an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, she would accept it.
Kids are naturally mischievous. Even the most outrageous behavior, as long as it's not too outrageous, is just considered being overly lively, which actually makes them seem a bit innocent and cute.
But you're 25 this year... I... you... temple
Alicia held her forehead and chuckled softly, a sound tinged with an indescribable weariness. She was at a loss for words and felt helpless, wanting to call the police.
"Sister Alicia?"
"Don't call me 'sister,' I might have to call you 'sister.'"
Alicia's voice was exceptionally calm, like a stagnant pool of water, without the slightest ripple.
She suddenly understood why Xiaoyu was so ruthless. The kids on the reverse entropy side were all very capable, and if you weren't ruthless, you could easily be led astray.
"Ugh~" Lilia let out a soft, animal-like whimper.
"Stop trying to be cute, my life is already full of adorable characters." Wu
Gretchen, and... Anna, whom she was reluctant to admit, Blackie barely counts as half, and a whole bunch of Anti-Entropy people.
对,逆熵的平均身高在1米55左右,大部分都是1米49的小不点,至于平均身高为什么在1米55?
Planck was 172 cm tall, the same height as Möbius, Schrödinger was 161 cm, and Einstein, Tesla, and most of the younger generation of Anti-Entropy were short, only 149 cm. I heard that Xing was only 148 cm tall.
"I'm sorry, Lilia has always been like this since she was a child, and other people are used to it."
Alicia glanced at her indifferently.
The little girl had her head down, with soft blue-green hair falling across her forehead, cleverly obscuring her eyes and making it impossible to see her true expression.
“I just want to disobey my family this once and go out and see the world on my own.” Her voice trailed off. “Instead of having to listen to Bronya after finally running away from home.”
She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, her shoulders trembling slightly as she sobbed. Fortunately, she kept her head down, an angle she had carefully calculated to make her fake crying look much more realistic.
"So you came to see Xiaoyu?"
Alicia spoke softly. The reason she was so gentle with Lilia was because the other woman looked extremely petite, not tall, with neither a prominent front nor a curvy back, and could only be described as small and delicate.
She really thought Lilia was a little child!
"Well, although Lilia has indeed wanted to have a grand, spontaneous adventure these past few years..."
"But Sister Alicia may not know that Lilia's physical condition is very poor. She is the type who gets dizzy and lightheaded after even slightly strenuous exercise."
"Compared to Bronya's strictness, An Yu is quite easygoing. He's most used to cleaning up the mess left by others when they cause trouble, looking helpless."
Lilia needs a friend like that! She can have fun to her heart's content, and An Yu will definitely handle it. If she doesn't handle it well, Lilia will come over and obediently take the scolding.
Perhaps this is why An Yu didn't want to stay in North America a few years ago.
"Aren't you afraid that if you faint, An Yu will take all the blame..."
"Miss Lilia! You're frail and sickly, you should go get treatment."
Alicia sighed. Sometimes she thought that the environment of Destiny, where the capable rise to the top, wasn't so bad. Useless people could just stay at home, eat and wait to die, and not interfere with the actions of those who were capable.
Besides, if you do this too often, aren't you afraid An Yu will slap you so hard your face is embedded in the wall?
“It can’t be cured…” Lilia leaned back against the back of the tram, her voice erratic.
"Lilia's body is very weak, probably because she was abandoned back then, which damaged her very foundation."
Moreover, as abandoned orphans, their bodies are already prone to congenital deficiencies, not to mention the damage they suffered during the abandonment process.
So in the game created by Bronya, she becomes a high-ranking fusion warrior, fusing with Aposh's genes to become the most dazzling vodka girl. The only side effect is that she is a little sleepy, since she is already quite sleepy anyway.
After Alicia confirmed there were no cars ahead, she glanced at Lilia again. The little girl's expression was normal, and she didn't seem sad at all... Strange, wasn't she just wiping away tears? Why aren't her eyes red at all?
"Can't even reverse entropy cure it?"
Alicia's voice softened slightly.
“Congenital genetic defects can indeed be improved, but Lilia doesn’t like that kind of life where she’s completely regulated all day long and lives in the hospital.”
Moreover, Lilia is currently just weak and sickly, with delayed development and not-too-severe anemia.
"Oh……"
Alicia didn't say anything more.
"Then I'll tell Xiaoyu not to bully you anymore. You're so weak, if he hits you, you'll probably be in pain for days."
She cautiously suggested that for someone with such health issues, every act of special care could easily have negative consequences.
Lilia: ...
That's for sure!
She had taken a hard punch from An Yu in North America, and it took her several days to recover. During those days, her vision was somewhat blurred, which terrified the arrogant An Yu, who thought the punch had caused her internal injuries.
For several days in a row, the other party stayed close to her. Rosalia ignored him for several days. It was during those days that An Yu and Xing became somewhat familiar with each other. After all... no fight, no friendship.
"It's okay, we're all brothers!"
Lilia stretched her slender arm out in front of her and gave a thumbs up.
It was a bit silly, but Rosalia liked it. So, she got used to it.
"You guys have a really good relationship."
Alicia really wanted to say, "You guys are so versatile, but Lilia isn't a boy."
But Lilia, Hei Xi, and An Yu gave her the feeling of being close male friends. No matter how much they fooled around, it didn't affect their relationship, and even after being cold to each other, they could come out after a phone call.
"After all, Lilia has health problems."
Alicia thought Lilia was going to get sentimental, but Lilia sighed deeply and said, "I was thinking of letting An Yu have some fun before I die, but my health has actually improved under his care."
Alicia: ...
?
???
"Lilia was very weak back then. When she was little, she could still play around with Xing, but as she got older, she was mostly bullied by Xing."
"An Yu, probably because he felt bad about punching me, took special care of me during that time. If Xing comes to cause trouble again, he will most likely beat her back."
"But he probably never dreamed—"
Lilia deliberately dragged out her words, like a little mouse that had stolen some oil: "After being cared for by him like a fragile object for so long, Lilia, who was originally delicate and weak and looked like she was about to die... not only did her health not deteriorate, but it got better day by day."
This was truly unexpected; even Lilia herself hadn't anticipated it.
"I heard that when he finally got my medical report the last time, his face turned black."
Alicia's expression grew even more somber.
"Didn't Xiaoyu slap you in anger back then?"
"Well, although Lilia's health is slowly improving, she still can't withstand a serious slap from him."
Lilia shook her head: "He kept repeating 'murder is against the law, murder is against the law' for several minutes, and that was the end of it."
Volume 1: Chapter 199-197 Genetic Defect? I'll finish that in my dreams.
Back in her neighborhood, Alicia suddenly sighed.
"Xiaoyu! You've had it tough too!"
What kind of monsters and demons are these anti-entropy people?!
How did Cocolia raise her child?!
An Yu was slightly confused. Actually... Sister, you're having a harder time than me right now. I've already gotten through the tough times, and now I have a girlfriend at home and a bunch of good buddies outside who I can beat up whenever I want.
Lilia jumped out of the car behind him, and symbolically rubbed her dry eyes. After talking so much, she was really feeling tired.
"An Yu~"
Her voice was soft and weak, carrying a natural sense of despondency.
"Tell me, what price do I have to offer for you to help me keep this from Bronya, and also... sneak that idiot Rosalia out with me?"
"Well!"
Lilia felt as if she had been struck by an invisible arrow. She took two steps back, clutching her chest tightly with one hand, her face filled with the frustration of being hit by a huge blow.
Compared to Bronya, who was exceptionally talented in every aspect except for her short stature when she was young, Lilia really couldn't find any redeeming qualities in herself.
“As expected.” She glanced at An Yu with a resentful look. “You were ultimately bought off by Bronya.”
Rosalia used to argue with her stubbornly, wondering what if An Yu liked Seele? After all, Bai Xi looked soft and cute, much more likable than Bronya, that strong-willed girl.
An Yu squatted down and extended her hand. Under Alicia's questioning gaze, Lilia hesitantly raised her small face and placed her slender palm on it, as if she had been invited to dance.
Then... *smack!*
An Yu reached out her hand again, and Lilia, covering her red hand, turned away indignantly. An Yu then lifted her up with one hand.
After doing all this, An Yu explained to her older sister, "Lilia is a very clever girl, not to mention that she will be escorted home soon, she will definitely come up with all sorts of clever ideas."
"In response to this situation, whether it's me, Bronya, or even Mei, we've summarized this set of experiences."
Lilia, who is delicate and frail, has recently been inexplicably getting better despite her congenital genetic defects, much like how in the Honkai Impact IP, fusing with a Honkai Beast completes one's genes...
However, An Yu didn't have the confidence to say that she was among the top-tier in biology, so she didn't delve into it further.
Getting back to the point, for the delicate and frail Lilia, lifting this guy into the air would solve most problems.
