Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

"Are you satisfied?"

The words coming from her ear brought Teresa back to her senses. When she realized what happened to her at this moment, Teresa just lowered her head, her face was a little hot.

But even so, she didn't reach out to slap the palm on top of her head, which made her lose her majesty.

"Okay... okay! Don't touch it!"

Finally, after enjoying the touching for a long time, Teresa finally stopped the other party's movement because of the reserve in her heart.

Shaking her head vigorously to get rid of the restraint of Luo Chen's palm, Teresa reached out and grabbed his palm that was still hanging in mid-air, and walked towards the center of the shopping street in Canghai City a little angrily.

"Don't like it?"

Looking at Teresa who grabbed his palm and pulled him to the center of the street without saying a word, Luochen couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Humph!"

However, what responded to him was the gradually increasing strength in Teresa's hands, as well as the soft humming that was obviously arrogant.

------

Luo Chen, who was forcibly pulled to the center of the shopping street by Teresa, couldn't help but feel a little headache when he watched the somewhat too large flow of people here.

"By the way, Teresa. By the way, what are we going to do here?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

As if realizing her negligence, Teresa smiled a little embarrassedly, then took out a half-folded paper from the pocket of the nun's uniform, and put the paper in Luo Chen's hand.

"This is?"

Opening the paper that was folded in half, Luo Chen saw the words written with a black pen on it.

It seems that this piece of paper is just an ordinary shopping list.

"This is what Jizi asked me to bring for her when she knew I was coming to Canghai City."

"That's it."

After learning the origin of this shopping list, I just folded the paper in half again and put it in my pocket.

"Theresa, do you know..."

"what do you know?"

"Jizi, maybe I just treat you as a free temporary labor..."

"what?"

Looking at the tide-like crowds entering and leaving the center of the shopping street, the expression on Teresa's face gradually became complicated...

------

"So the fighting power of ordinary people is also so terrible?"

"Maybe..."

The two people who fled from the center of the shopping street were sitting slumped on a bench by the side of the road at the moment, looking at the center of the shopping street that was still overcrowded until now. The two just looked at each other, the expressions on their faces Full of helplessness.

It wasn't until they were pushed into the center of the store by the crowd that they understood the root cause of this phenomenon.

God knows that they will encounter such a coincidence in the promotional activities of the shopping street in Canghai City.

Crowded crowds, long toll queues, and shouts that were too loud.All of this gave these two people who didn't like to make noise a headache.

However, after going through such a terrible experience, the rewards given to them are nothing more than meager items and two lottery tickets.

"By the way, Xiaochen, why don't you take a look at the two lottery tickets you gave me?"

Teresa, who was slumped on the bench, suddenly remembered the two lottery tickets that were presented for the event, and then she sat up straight, reached out and took it out of the shopping bag beside her, and read out the words on it: awards.

"First prize...Denmark for three days and two nights for three people? It's strange, why is it for three people?"

"Forget it, we can't draw it anyway."

Although a little strange about the awards above, Teresa didn't think much about it.She just threw the lottery ticket back into the shopping bag indifferently, then jumped off the bench, and began to exercise her tired body that was crowded in the shopping mall.

After all, for some people, the lottery is just a beautiful lie.

"Next, where should we go shopping?"

While moving her somewhat stiff arms, Teresa was thinking about where the two of them should go next.

But an unobtrusive flower shop located on the side of the street attracted Teresa's attention.

It was a pure white, Western-style flower shop that was in business hours.

"Xiaochen, we..."

Just when Teresa turned around and was about to take Luochen to this flower shop for a stroll, she was surprised to find that the other person who was originally slumped on the bench with her seemed to have fallen into a trap before she even realized it. deep sleep.

"Asleep? Really."

"Forget it, I'll go shopping there alone."

Staring at Luo Chen who was slumped on the bench without any response, Teresa finally gave up her plan of waking him up from the dream, and then accompanied her to the flower shop.

After making up her mind, Teresa walked quickly to the door of the flower shop, then stretched out her hand and pushed open the closed door of the flower shop, and walked into the shop welcomed by the crisp sound of wind chimes.

Then what appeared in front of Teresa was a sea of ​​flowers.

"Ah, welcome, this guest, do you want to buy some flowers?"

"Ah, don't bother you, I just took a look."

After politely declining the invitation from the shop manager, Teresa wandered aimlessly in this small flower shop by herself.

The types of flowers in the store can be said to be quite complete, but Teresa was unable to find the one she liked the most among the huge number of flowers.

"Ding bell~"

The crisp sound of wind chimes echoed in the flower shop full of flowers, but it did not attract Theresa's attention. Now Theresa has put all her thoughts on finding her favorite flowers.

"Theresa."

The gentle voice broke Teresa's mind from looking for flowers. Turning around, what appeared in front of her was a bunch of white lilies held in her hands.

The pure color and light petals made Teresa think of someone.

"Really, I thought you were asleep..."

Teresa took the bouquet of white lilies from Luo Chen's hands, and the expression on her face also became a little complicated because she recalled the deceased.

"By the way, why did you give me this bouquet of lilies? I don't particularly like this kind of flower."

"Really? I do like lilies."

"It's rare for a big man to like such a flower."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and put the flowers away, we still have a lot of places to visit."

Passing the bouquet in her hand to Luo Chen's hand again, Teresa walked to the door of the flower shop on her own, pushed the door open, and with the crisp sound of wind chimes, she turned her head and said so.

"Actually, white lilies are quite suitable for you."

After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out of the flower shop, leaving Luochen standing alone, holding the white lily in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Shop manager, please wrap these flowers for me, thank you."

Chapter 9 Coincidence, Coincidence and Coincidence

Theresa, who left the flower shop, sat back on the street bench where the two of them rested.

At this moment, she was sitting on the bench, with her back bent, her cheeks propped up with her hands, and her eyes fixed on the front, but her thoughts had already wandered away.

"I remember, Cecilia also likes white lilies..."

Perhaps it was because of hurt feelings, after seeing the bouquet of white lilies in the flower shop, Teresa almost inevitably recalled her best friend who had passed away for a long time.

The pure white dress, the blue roses, and the gentle smile, after a long time, Teresa not only failed to forget it, but remembered it even more deeply.

The beauty who passed away left an indelible mark on Teresa's life.

"If only... you could come back... If you can come back, I will never fight with that bastard Siegfried again..."

What happened in the past seemed to be just yesterday, and the little things that happened between the three of them at that time made Teresa miss it immensely.

Perhaps because Siegfried and Cecilia came together, Teresa, who originally had a different feeling for Cecilia, would always quarrel with Siegfried over trivial matters .

And this kind of farce that always happens between the two of them will always end carelessly because of Cecilia's kind words to persuade them.

"But...it's impossible..."

Theresa, who knew that the absurd wish she thought could not be changed, could only let out a light sigh after all, and then let the emotion of silence fill her entire face.

After all, the current her has already passed the age where she can hold a fairy tale book in her arms and follow behind her grandfather to act like a baby.

"By the way...why does Xiaochen give me the feeling...so much like Cecilia?"

Sitting on the bench, Teresa, who was still recalling the past experiences of herself and her best friend, inexplicably compared Luochen and Cecilia, two people who were very important to her, with each other.

All gray-haired, all tender, and able to make myself feel a unique sense of intimacy from them?

The similarities between the two of them...is that too much?

And just when Teresa wanted to compare the two of them further, a unique touch from the top of her head stopped her from continuing to do so.

Raising her head slightly, Teresa realized that Luo Chen, who was supposed to be still in the flower shop, had already sat in the empty seat next to her while she was immersed in the memories of the past.

And the other party's hand, just like before, gently stroked her head.

"I told you not to touch my head anymore!"

After realizing what the other party was doing at this time, Teresa just complained and patted the other party's hand on her head with her hand, and then dispelled the conclusion she had drawn before.

Cecilia wouldn't just reach out and touch her head casually.

And most importantly...

Theresa, who stretched out her hand to tidy up her messy hair, seemed to have thought of something. After looking sideways at Luo Chen, who was sitting next to her with a sideways smile, she became more firm in the thought she had drawn in her heart. in conclusion.

"How can two people with different genders be similar?"

-------

The insignificant episode in the flower shop didn't disturb Teresa's rare interest in elegance. After recuperating on the bench for a while, the two joined hands again and embarked on this still life. A journey that is far from over.
