"Drink a glass of milk before going to bed, it will help you sleep."
Alice put the cup in front of Merlin, and then sat next to him with her own cup, constantly stirring the hot cow's brain with a spoon, probably putting some sugar.
"Oh, thank you." Merlin got up and brought up the hot milk.
"You actually said thank you to me, it's rare..." Alice seemed to have discovered the New World, her face full of surprise.
"Uh..." Mei Lin was taken aback, didn't pay attention at all, so he coughed, "Ah, just talk casually. After all, I am an elegant and arrogant monarch. A reasonable expression of gratitude shows that I am educated."
"Hey!" Alice curled her lips, stirring the milk faster, as if she was sulking.
"It's you, who warmed the milk for me specially, isn't it something to ask for?" Mei Lin showed a very playful expression.
"Who...who has something to ask you? It's not the first time to warm the milk for you. Don't be so sensitive? I just..." Alice's eyes turned strangely, and said proudly, "Just We are about to go out to perform a new task. You are my companion. You need to have a good cup of hot brain to sleep, and you will have enough energy to be worthy of me as a cow and a horse, huh~!"
"Your mouth is so stinky..." Merlin cursed uncomfortably, and continued, "For this journey, we need to go to Ireland, find the Barton Barton to find out about the situation, and listen to Austin said that he was a soldier in the Edinburgh Garrison. Long, as the lord of Galway City after retiring two years ago, we may need to prepare..."
"Yeah." Alice nodded absent-mindedly, holding the cup in both hands, seemingly worried.
Merlin fell silent, thinking about going to Ireland, it seemed that he could still meet the Lu Zhixiaozheng Tai, known as the magical genius Johnson, is really the enemy Lu Zhao, and will always meet.
"Hey..." Alice murmured.
"Ah, I know what you are going to say? We're leaving tomorrow to save time, right?" Merlin looked at Alice, seeing her reacting strangely.
"No...No..." Alice retorted with a frowned eyebrow, looking a little angry.
"Then what are you going to say?" Merlin was puzzled, feeling that Alice was always in a trance today.
"That..." Alice scratched her cheek with her finger, she can turn her head away to avoid Merlin's sight.
"In the eyes of outsiders..."
"Are we really that like a couple?"
(???????Ω??????)?
Chapter 19: Ideal
Alice turned her head to prevent Merlin from seeing her somewhat red face.
She didn't have any messy thoughts, but she felt that many people would treat herself and Merlin as a couple without thinking.
Regarding this, Alice wanted to know what Merlin thought about it, and whether she had any different opinions.
Especially today, Alice and Merlin had some physical contact, they were held in their arms, and screamed a "wife", showing off their affection...
Although Alice didn't hate it deep down in her heart, she even liked to be with Merlin Gian.
But it always feels a little weird. What is the relationship between me and Merlin?
It's really abnormal to be so tired and crooked every day!
Alice thinks that she and Merlin are still potential enemies, but she seems to want to tie him to her side more and more. This is not a good sign, and she will not be able to explain her relationship with Merlin in the future.
So Alice wanted to hit the sidelines now, asking Merlin what her attitude towards herself was, and if she... also felt like wanting to be together.
After listening to Alice’s inexplicable question, Merlin couldn’t help frowning, touching his chin and muttering, “That’s right, I’ve explained it many times, but when many people see me with you, they will be defaulted to be a couple. This is obviously It’s not normal..."
"Right...right? I feel very strange, why..." Alice lowered her head, acting a little bit twisted, "Why are we always treated like couples, as if... As it was destined..."
After saying this, Alice's face turned redder, and she did not dare to look up at Merlin at all.
Alice swears that this is the most nasty word she has ever said in her life, and even she herself feels unwell.
In fact, Alice said it very euphemistically. It meant that she and Merlin were blessed by fate. The fate is here and they are destined to be together, so some people always misunderstand that they are husband and wife.
However, Merlin didn’t take this set. He commented with a serious black face, “Well, I also feel the malice from the whole world in the secret, just like a curse, subtly bringing you and me together, really too frightening……"
"Uh." Alice turned her head and frowned her eyebrows. She thought that Merlin could say some romantic remarks, but she was shuddering as she regarded being with herself as full of malice!?
Merlin noticed Alice's ugly face and asked in surprise, "What is your look? Am I wrong?"
"Of course not! Why are you and other girls not being misunderstood? Whenever you are with me, you will be considered as a couple. Isn't there a very subtle connection between them?" Alice squinted, trying to complicate the problem.
"What do you want to express?" Merlin responded blankly.
"We...we are always misunderstood. Could it be because of...that assumption..." Alice hesitated, blushing and plucking up courage and said, "Assuming I am...I am the other half of your destiny! !"
As soon as the voice fell, the air in the room fell into deathly silence.
Except for Alice's nervous and cramped breathing, there seemed to be no other movement.
Alice was nervous and excited, and she had a little expectation, hoping to see Merlin react.
The other half of the destiny, the meaning is very clear, Alice just wants to hear Merlin's answer, whether she wants to be with herself.
"Hahahahaha..."
Merlin's reaction was a little unexpected and she laughed directly, leaning on the sofa and looking at Alice with a strange look.
"Laugh...what's the laugh!? What's so funny!" Alice pursed her mouth angrily, feeling that Merlin did not respect herself.
"What is your destined other half? What are you kidding? Didn't you realize that I was just cooperating with you in the second half?" Merlin showed sympathetic eyes to the fool.
"Wh...what?" Alice wondered, what does Merlin mean.
Merlin pulled the black iron adventurer on his neck to prove, "Miss, our information is engraved on it. Anyone who sees it will of course think that we are a husband and wife. You think too much, right? Also... the other half of the destiny, Mai Su Mai's brain circuit is different..."
Alice's face slowly flushed, like a pot of boiling water, puffing and puffing.
Sure enough, how could Merlin have the idea of being with herself?
In the end, I think too much, after all, he is a demon, it is impossible to be as emotional as me.
Alice forced a smile to hide her embarrassment.
"That's right, I really think too much, right? We spend a lot of time together, it is inevitable that we will be familiar enough to make others misunderstand, right?"
"It should be like this..." Merlin nodded, pretending to ask casually, "Actually you don't like me?"
"This...this is of course, I...I hate you so much, how can I have the emotions that I like for you?" Alice smiled and said duplicity, she was completely unable to get off the stage.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, so did I." Merlin was a little speechless by Alice's "Hate you" sentence, so she bit her head and said, "This is obvious. The other half of fate is completely impossible."
"Yes...Yes, after I figured it out, I feel more relieved." Alice waved her hand, looking normal on the surface, but extremely disappointed in her heart, "It's late, good night."
"Good night." There was a drop of cold sweat on Merlin's forehead, watching Alice back to her room.
Alice returned to the room and closed the door softly so that Merlin would not realize her loss.
After confirming that Merlin would never see herself again, Alice threw herself on the bed, hugging her pillow and became sad alone.
It was all my own wishful thinking in the end.
Merlin this guy...
Never thought of being with me at all.
QAQ
outside.
A haze rose on Merlin's face, and she looked at Alice's closed door and thought.
Sure enough, Alice still has great opinions on me.
After all, I have done too much to her before.
This hostility towards me, I am afraid it will not change in the future, right?
Fortunately, I think it’s a good thing to be with Alice. Fortunately, I didn’t say it, otherwise I would be ashamed today...
Merlin rubbed her forehead with lingering fears, recalling the figure of Alice drying her clothes in the sun that day, she could still experience the warm feelings that made him subconsciously addicted to it.
At that moment, if there is a lovely daughter...
It should be the peak of my ideal life, right?
(?'Ω?)
Chapter 20: The Wild
The next day Merlin and Alice set off for Ireland.
The two of them were well prepared. In addition to the food and water that must be used on the road, they also brought Austin's autograph credit to prove their identity.
If he went to Ireland and the Barton Barton did not recognize that Merlin and Alice were commissioned by Austin, it would be a waste of work.
Merlin and Alice went in their donkey carts, not very slow.
Although Merlin wanted to hire a more comfortable carriage, this prodigal idea was rejected by Alice.
Alice felt that now was the time to spend money, and Merlin must not be allowed to squander freely.
But instead of saying that Alice has a family, Merlin complained about her stingy.
Alice didn’t understand that Merlin didn’t think about the status quo at all.
