Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

The dishes were put on the table, and there was a plate of fried eggs right in front of Alexia. She ate it happily with her knife and fork. Alexia took a look at it and started eating the fried eggs too.

After the meal, she was led by Alexia to the garden to bask in the sun. The two of them were assigned a swing and swayed in front of the flowers.

Aecilia looked back at Alexia. The girl was still holding the white-haired doll in her arms.

Noticing her gaze, Alexia raised a big smile:

"This is my favorite doll."

Aecilia's consciousness gradually became clearer as time went by, and she changed the subject without changing her expression:

"You also like to eat fried eggs?"

Alexia nodded:

"Yes, my doll likes it too."

She lifted up the skin of the rag doll Destiny's neck and shook it towards the girl beside her.

Aecilia's eyes followed the movement of the doll, and then she lowered her gaze.

"She's so pretty."

Aecilia said calmly.

She meant the doll.

Alexia nodded vigorously:

"I think so too! She has been wearing this green skirt for several days. I originally wanted to change her outfit, but I haven't picked it out yet. By the way, why don't you go and take a look with me now? Right? Her clothes are all in my room."

Aecilia was silent for a moment and agreed.

The girl stretched out her small and tender hand and took one of her palms, leading her through the green grass and flowers.

From time to time, the hems of their clothes rub against the branches and leaves of waist-high bushes, making a rustling sound. Sometimes their hair, sleeves, and skirts are caught by the branches diagonally above them, and the sun's rays like gold pass through the shaded parts. Green leaves fell on them.

Aecilia lowered her head and saw the golden spot on one side of the girl's cheek. She stretched out her hand to rub it in a natural movement.

Alexia tilted her head and rubbed her for a while before grabbing her hand and putting it aside. Then she puffed up her face and rubbed her cheeks with both hands, as if Alexia had rubbed her in pain. Same.

Aecilia raised her hand again and scratched her forehead.

Alexia slapped her hand away "viciously", turned around and walked away.

Aecilia put her hands in her pockets and walked forward step by step, stepping on the girl's shadow on the ground.

Her gray hair was blown back by the wind.

When she walked to where she could already see Alexia's residence, a head poked out from the railing on the second floor of a small building nearby.

Alexia also saw the head, and she shouted towards it:

"Charles! When did you wake up?"

The black-haired head named Charles also shouted back:

"Just woke up! That...weird, weird, sister next to you?"

Alexia put her hands on her hips and her momentum rose to a higher level:

"If you call me sister, just call me sister. What's wrong with the weird sister?!"

Little Charles ran downstairs and came to her.

"Oh, I called you wrong, it's sister, sister, hello!"

This was a boy about the same height as Alexia. Aecilia remembered that he once called her "monster" in the arcade, and she almost made her cry later.

Aecilia smiled kindly and said:

"Ai-hello, little kid."

As soon as the boy finished shouting, he secretly glanced at Alexia, who looked at this scene and fell into deep thought.

Alexia seemed satisfied, she said:

"Don't read those books with a bunch of messy numbers on them too late at night. You'll almost fall asleep until the afternoon."

Charles sounded quite aggrieved:

"I don't care who teaches you to write math before your exam."

Alexia was also lost in thought, and they were in a stalemate for a while. She took the initiative to change the topic:

"I'm going to change the doll's clothes with Sister Ecilia. If you haven't eaten yet, why don't you go find something to eat first?"

Charles nodded:

"Then you go and play first, I'll come back after eating."

Alexia watched him walk away, turned her head to look at Aecilia, and said:

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm very good at math."

Ecilia: "I know."

Alexia: "I'm also very good at potions, unlike those ignorant brats."

Ecilia: "I know."

Alexia: "Can you change your smile? You look like a villain when you smile like this."

Ecilia: "Where did you see it?"

Oh my god, is her identity about to be revealed?

Alexia: "It doesn't matter... If you laugh like that again, I'll be really angry."

Aecilia took the initiative to hold her hand.

Alexia hummed, turned her head away, raised her feet and pulled her into the room, then moved out a certain ornately decorated box, and pointed out small dresses to her one by one, looking at them. Make an introduction and then say:

"Which one do you like?"

Aecilia felt dazzled and pondered for a long time. Finally, she turned to look at her, her eyes filled with sincerity:

"like it all."

Choosing clothes for a doll is still too difficult for her who has been left alone for seven years.

She pursed her lips slightly.

Alexia looked at her clothes today.

Off-white top, brown skirt.

Then he turned around and rummaged through the box, and found several dresses of the same color.

Alexia looked at her again without saying a word, but the meaning in her eyes was obvious:

Take your pick, you don't have to escape this time.

So Aecilia pointed at one.

Alexia happily put clothes on the doll, and Aecilia sat next to her, resting her chin on her hands and watching.

Charles came back from foraging and stood beside them to watch.

"Your doll changed clothes again? This time the color is like chocolate."

"You are the chocolate."

"Isn't chocolate bad? It's delicious."

"You want to be eaten?"

"I do not want."

"Forget it. How much chocolate do you have left? I finished what you gave me yesterday."

"There's only one box left, don't eat it so fast."

"Bring it quickly and give it to sister Ecilia."

"I just sat down!"

"Then...find someone to get it."

The chocolate was soon in Ecilia's hands, and the three of them tore open the package together and took the first bite diagonally in unison.

Aecilia didn't know why she could stay here for another half day, with two children who were still blatantly colluding to help each other cheat in the exam.

"Then let's make an agreement, next week you will take the spell test and I will help you with the questions, and the next week I will take the geometry test and you will help me with the questions."

“Shall we take pictures or video?”

"The action of taking pictures is too big, just turn on the mute of the video."
