Their commission was suspicious.

Alicia? What's she doing here?

No way, could it be that he came to the lab entrance to wait for him because he couldn't find him yesterday and hadn't replied to his messages?

So stingy?

To be honest, Alicia isn't the kind of girlfriend who's gentle enough to melt your heart.

She is the kind of person who is a little mischievous, a little willful, and slightly narcissistic and self-centered, but all of these qualities seem to fit Alicia perfectly.

Therefore, Alicia's current outburst of emotions doesn't seem any more abnormal.

Chen Luo looked at the figure with its back to him, thought for a moment, then took out a pink burlap sack from his backpack and hid it behind his back.

Generally speaking, Chen Luo had said he would give Alicia a surprise as compensation, and Chen Luo always keeps his word.

Anyway, Chen Luo wasn't sure whether it was a surprise for Alicia or not, but he felt it should be.

"Alice." As he hid the pink sack and walked away with his hands behind his back, Chen Luo called out Alice's name.

In fact, when Chen Luo saw Alicia, Alicia should have been able to recognize his footsteps, which is a basic skill for a powerful warrior.

Therefore, Chen Luo was certain that Alicia had definitely recognized him, and if he didn't call out her name now, she would likely turn around and look at him angrily, asking why he hadn't replied to her messages yesterday.

but……

"Hmph!" After hearing Chen Luo's shout, Alicia was certain that she had met the person she was waiting for.

However, Alicia did not turn around, but continued to carry Chen Luo with her back turned, while also letting out a cold snort.

That's right, that's it.

Sometimes, when you express your desire to apologize, the other person might get even angrier.

The reason for doing this, besides the other party being genuinely angry, could also be that they want you to do something. So they intend to keep you in suspense.

The more you apologize, the angrier you get. It sounds absurd, but it's possible from a psychological perspective.

"Alicia, look back at me. I know it was really bad of me not to reply to your message yesterday, but this time I'm sincerely apologizing."

Chen Luo slowly walked up behind Alicia, and seeing that she didn't turn around, he took the pink sack in his hand and said in an apologetic voice.

"Hmph!" Alicia's response to Chen Luo was still a cold snort.

This shows that Alicia won't forgive Chen Luo just because of the few kind words he said. She should at least say more kind words, right?

For example, Lady Alicia is the cutest person in the world.

"My dearest Alicia, I really know I was wrong. I'll never ignore a message again. But I think I can still escape the death penalty, right? After all, I did prepare a surprise for you as promised, a really big surprise," Chen Luo said enticingly.

"...Hmph!" Hearing the hesitation in that hum, Chen Luo was certain that Alicia was indeed somewhat tempted.

However, in order to achieve her own goals, it is not convenient to turn her head away now, because turning her head away would mean forgiving Chen Luo, which may be different from what Alicia wants to achieve.

"It's such a big surprise! And I even specially prepared this gift to match your hair color. It will definitely surprise you."

Chen Luo continued speaking quite sincerely, while glancing at the sack in his hand.

According to Alicia, the sack was made by Vervier and used a special material structure.

No matter how strong someone is, they will always be protected for a period of time. Although it is definitely not a good tool for fighting enemies, it is an essential item for playing pranks at home and on the go.

"Hmph!" But Alicia still hadn't turned her head.

This confirmed Chen Luo's suspicions: Alicia hadn't come to him simply to settle scores; she definitely had something to say.

Otherwise, they wouldn't insist on putting on such an angry look.

"Alice, are you still waiting? Would you like some tea? Logically speaking, it should be almost time for Chen Luo and the Doctor to return. Speaking of which, I think I heard A Luo's voice just now."

Danzhu's voice suddenly appeared during the performance. Hearing this voice, Chen Luo looked towards the blind spot in his line of sight. A few seconds later, Danzhu emerged from the blind spot.

"!!!" But when Chen Luo saw Dan Zhu, Dan Zhu also saw Chen Luo.

Similarly, we also saw the pink burlap sack that Chen Luo was holding high.

When Danzhu saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

"Hmm?" Seeing Danzhu's expression, Alicia tilted her head in confusion.

What could possibly make Danzhu look so incredulous? Could it be that Chen Luo has really prepared an unimaginable surprise for her?

If the other party really prepared such a surprise, then Alicia would naturally ignore the fact that Chen Luo didn't reply to her messages yesterday.

Alicia sent Chen Luo at least 30 messages yesterday. It's impossible that Chen Luo didn't see any of them, so there's only one possibility!

That means Chen Luo was deliberately avoiding him.

Oh, this is so heartbreaking.

"Alice, turn around and see the surprise I've prepared for you? It will definitely surprise you." Chen Luo's voice came from behind Alice once again.

"This, this, this..." Danzhu continued to point incredulously at Chen Luo behind Alicia with a trembling finger.

"Hmm?" Seeing Danzhu's strange expression, Alicia's curiosity was piqued.

"Since you've so sincerely offered this surprise, then I'll..." Alicia ultimately couldn't resist her curiosity. However, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but as she slowly turned around, she felt as if a shadow was looming over her.

Hmm, a shadow?

"Alicia, surprise!"

Accompanied by Chen Luo's infectious laughter, a shadow completely enveloped Alicia.

Finally, what came into Alicia's view was Chen Luo holding a burlap sack, and that pink burlap sack with an adorable style.

While the pink burlap sack does look somewhat cute, however...

Is this the surprise you were talking about?!

"Heave-ho!" Seeing Alicia tightly bound from top to bottom and still wriggling inside, Chen Luo squatted down and lifted Alicia out of the sack.

Then, to Danju's astonishment, she jogged toward Mebius's lounge.

This burlap sack is very sturdy, yet it is also lightweight and breathable.

After all, this thing was originally used by Alicia to trap heroes of the highest rank.

But unfortunately...

It was used on myself.

Chapter 520 Otto and Yae Sakura's Historic Meeting

"I was wrong, I was so wrong. I shouldn't have come to the Moth of Flames in the first place. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have met you all. If I hadn't met you all..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Lolo, although I'm a little confused about the situation right now, no matter what, you're the one who put me in a sack and carried me to this lounge, right? Why are you acting so innocent?" Alicia quickly interrupted Chen Luo.

As Alicia combed her hair in front of the mirror, she occasionally glanced at Chen Luo with resentment.

"Is it possible that I did this to make you happy?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

"Is it possible that I'm not happy at all?"

"Is it possible, surprisingly, that you are at least halfway there now?"

"A scare but no joy, huh?" Alicia rolled her eyes at Chen Luo, then glanced at the pink burlap sack in his hand.

"Give me that pink burlap sack so we can continue discussing the rest," Alicia said, putting the mirror aside and pointing to the pink burlap sack.

"No." Chen Luo shook his head, clutching the sack tightly.

Are you kidding me? If I gave you this sack now, would you just put me in it and carry me away?

Chen Luo cannot reveal his strength right now, so for someone who has killed a Herrscher, how easy would it be to carry away an ordinary researcher?

“If I give you this sack, you’ll definitely use it to trap me,” Chen Luo continued.

"You wouldn't let me put a sack over your head, so how dare you put one over mine?"

Alicia was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

Alicia was genuinely looking forward to the surprise Chen Luo had mentioned, but who knew that the surprise Chen Luo gave her would be to put herself inside a pink burlap sack.

"But Alicia, I remember asking her about that a while ago, didn't I?"

"What did you ask?"

"I'm asking you what color burlap sack you like."

"..."

What color burlap sack do you like?

Shouldn't this just be a joke?

The key issue is that Chen Luo's body is too weak, so Alicia is afraid that if she bursts the sack, she might knock Chen Luo down with a single punch, so she doesn't dare to struggle too hard.

Moreover, the material used in that tattered sack seemed to be quite good; you couldn't break free without using force.

This left Alicia trapped in a vicious cycle, like a salted fish in a sack, with nothing to do but stagnate.

Although Alicia clearly held a significant advantage in terms of apparent strength, given that Chen Luo was merely an ordinary researcher, Chen Luo's attack was entirely devoid of malice, leaving Alicia completely unable to react.

"Oh, don't be so angry. How about this, to make it up to you, I'll give you a bottle of wine? No, I mean two bottles of wine," Chen Luo said.

After saying that, Chen Luo glanced at Alicia's discount list and found that it was still 7.0% off. He breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Alicia was indeed not angry.

Discounts can indeed be increased, like Yvette.

Her discount was as high as 11%, but the consequence was that the other party was personally killed by Chen Luo.

You don't want to be my friend, but you also don't want to give me a discount, which puts me in a difficult position.

"Alcohol?" Alicia suddenly became interested.

"That's right, it's alcohol. Wait a moment, I'll go get it for you." Chen Luo stood up.

"Wait, I want to go too." Alicia stood up as well.

"Where are you going?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

"I'm mainly worried that you'll take the opportunity to get the drinks and run away," Alicia said quite frankly.

Because Chen Luo has done so many outrageous things, Alicia is now quite honest with him...

He was quite frank in not believing Chen Luo.

Chen Luo had no choice but to accept Alicia's disbelief. He turned around and walked towards the cabinet behind him instead of the door. Seeing this, Alicia breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again. As long as Chen Luo didn't leave the room, everything would be fine.

Alicia watched as Chen Luo threw the pink burlap sack into the locker, and then a little while later took out two bottles of wine from it.

Seeing the pink burlap sack she had been longing for placed inside, Alicia memorized the location perfectly.

Bring this over when you have time later.

After all, since it was meant to be a surprise for myself, it wouldn't be appropriate to take it back.

"Two bottles of wine, one called True Self, the other called Tears of Deep Space. Whether they taste good or not is up to you."

“This ‘True Self’ name is something I prepared especially for you, and that bottle of wine called ‘Tears of the Void’ is a gift specifically for you to give to someone else. The purpose of this wine is not for you to drink, but for you to give it away,” Chen Luo said.

One of these two bottles of wine is the one Alicia loves to drink, and the other is the one Eden loves to drink.

"Take these two bottles of wine back today. If you're still angry tomorrow and feel that these two bottles of wine aren't worth enough, then come back to me, okay?" Chen Luo discussed with Alicia.

"A wine specifically for gifting?" Alicia was interested in the real me, but I was more interested in the bottle of Deep Space Tears.

“That’s right. I suggest you give this bottle to your best friend who also enjoys drinking. This wine is perfect for drinking while chatting. So you should be careful when choosing a recipient,” Chen Luo said.

If Alicia knew that Chen Luo knew a lot, she would have realized that Chen Luo almost blurted out Eden's name.

Eden is Alicia's longest-standing friend, and probably her best friend, or at least one of them.

Eden and Alicia met not after Eden joined the Firemoth, but before that.

Eden is arguably one of the people who knows Ellie best.

"Really? Then... I'll trust you one more time. But if you lie to me again this time, I might get a little upset."

After carefully examining the Tear of the Deep Space for a while, Alicia spoke.

"Okay, okay. If your friend isn't satisfied, just come find me. By the way, what brings you here today? I don't believe you came all this way just to ambush me," Chen Luo asked Alicia.
