Chapter 48 The thing in the bottle In its eyes, the girl's head is...

"Ahhh, he's coming! Don't be afraid, he's very kind! Even if he's discovered, he won't do anything to you!"

Perhaps because his favorite character was approaching, the teddy bear became more excited and even a little incoherent.

"Oh, the kettle! Hurry up and get the watering can out!"

In a panic, it finally remembered the strategy they had discussed before.

"He has a natural fondness for plants, so as long as you say you are here to water the sunflowers, his favorability towards you will increase. This is a method I learned after reloading the game countless times."

The little guy whispered in Cecilia's ear and talked for a long time but she didn't take out the watering can.

Seeing the other party approaching step by step and soon reaching where they were, the teddy bear hurriedly urged: "Xia! Kettle! Where's the kettle!"

“No.”

Cecia tells the truth.

There was no watering can in the dormitory at all. I agreed to this strategy at the time in order not to waste time.

Hearing this, the teddy bear's cheeks puffed up with anger, but as Archion was approaching, it couldn't say anything else. It could only endure it and lay obediently on Cecilia's shoulder and pretend to be dead.

At this time, Archion finally came over and saw Cecilia hiding here stealthily.

"Who are you?"

Archion asked coldly. He had no facial features, and the sunflower disk kept wriggling as he spoke, which was both terrifying and carried an inexplicable rhythm.

"You should know that this is curfew time. Students are not allowed to stay outside the dormitory now."

"Really? Then why are you here?"

Cecia asked back with a hint of provocation in her voice, completely ignoring the teddy bear whispering in her ear.

"Xia, be more enthusiastic! You are now playing Xiaobai, and it is Xiaobai's kindness that impresses others. You must show her characteristics in order to win the favor of the male protagonists..."

The little guy persuaded anxiously, his words were like a machine gun, but he failed to shake Cecilia's mind.

Unexpectedly, Archion was not angry at Cecia's attitude. On the contrary, the sunflower disk shook slightly, as if it was laughing.

"I know you." He said, "Are you the new transfer student?"

Under the moonlight, Archion's outline was covered with a halo.

He took a few steps forward and continued, "It's already this late, the dormitory door should be closed, you can go to my room and rest."

? !

The teddy bear was stunned.

"This...this isn't right, how can he talk like that? He's not like this in the game!"

In shock, its voice unconsciously increased by several decibels.

"In the early stages, he was very indifferent to the protagonist. Even if the character I controlled kept chasing him, he couldn't say a few words. It all depended on my willpower to influence him."

"This is the first time we've met, and he actually took the initiative to invite you to his room?"

The petals on Archion's face wrinkled. He looked around in confusion and asked, "Did you hear any sound? It sounded like someone was talking."

"No." Cecia said, patting his shoulder casually, "There's not even a ghost around here, how could there be voices? Maybe it's the sound of the wind."

She pressed the towel on her shoulders with her hands and said cheerfully, "I can't go back now anyway. If you are willing to take me in, that would be the best."

"Please follow me."

Archion said softly, he turned sideways gracefully and waved his right hand gently, as if inviting an old friend who had not seen him for a long time.

Cecia did not hesitate and followed his pace.

The teddy bear was still frightened by the previous incident, and it covered its mouth tightly, afraid that it would accidentally make a sound and expose its existence.

But the current situation is really hard to understand. It keeps muttering to itself in order to relieve its anxiety and uneasiness:

No, how did she go to the room? She had gone through so much trouble and gained a very high favorability. It was only after she took the initiative to ask that she was lucky enough to enter the other party's room.

There is definitely something wrong with this Archion! Maybe he is played by a player, the real him is not like this...

With the teddy bear chattering along the way, the two arrived in front of a detached villa.

"Come in."

Archion pushed open the door and made a gesture to invite Cecia to come in first. As soon as he entered the door, he took off his black nun's uniform, revealing an ordinary white shirt underneath.

"I only wear this dress when I pray."

Perhaps because he was afraid that someone would misunderstand him, he explained it deliberately.

Witnessing behavior that was totally inconsistent with "Archien in the game," the teddy bear's desire to roar reached its peak.

Led by Archion, Cecilia walked into the living room and faced the vase placed in the middle.

The vase was gray with a white cross painted in the middle, which looked exactly like the cross necklace he wore around his neck.

What was even more shocking was that what was in the vase was not flowers, but a girl's head.

The girl's face was peaceful and pale, as if she was just in a deep sleep. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes cast shadows in the light.

His long black hair was bound up by a nun's headscarf, which also had a cross embroidered on it, the same as the one on the vase and around his neck.

"I'm back, Xiaoya."

Archion's voice was low and gentle. He walked closer to the vase and kissed the girl on her forehead.

Seeing this, the teddy bear couldn't help but whisper in Cecia's ear:

"Look! He named the sunflowers he raised and kissed them. How romantic it is... This is a famous scene in the game. I was completely fascinated by him because of it."

sunflower?

In its eyes, is the girl's head a sunflower?

Cecia frowned, always feeling that what she saw was different from what others saw, and there was some kind of connection between them.

The girl wore a nun's headscarf, while he wore a nun's clothes; the girl's head was planted in a vase, while sunflowers grew on his neck...

If their positions were reversed, everything would seem to make sense.

"Would you like something to eat? I have cookies and chocolate here."

"Which would you like, tea or coffee?"

"I'm the only one living here. The guest rooms are all empty. You can pick the one you like."

“…”

Perhaps because of the powerful halo of the protagonist, the other party showed meticulous care and tried his best to meet all of Cecilia's requirements.

After the two of them had their midnight snack, he behaved like a gentleman and asked Cecilia to go to the guest room upstairs to rest while he stayed to clean up the dishes.

"No! Archion is not like that! I don't admit it!"

As soon as Cecia closed the bedroom door, the teddy bear jumped off her shoulders, the whole bear was puffed up, jumping and making noises on the bed.

"He is obviously the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside! Only in the later stages will he show his unique tenderness towards you. This state is totally wrong now!"

Grabbing the teddy bear on the bed into her hand, Cecia rubbed its soft belly and asked, "In the game, did you notice that Xiaobai was avoiding the male protagonist?"

"Hiss...Now that you mention it, it seems like I have a similar feeling."

Although he is noisy at other times, the teddy bear becomes quiet instantly and thinks seriously when serious matters are mentioned.

“Xiao Bai is a popular protagonist who is gentle and kind to others, but in the parts of the story that are not controlled by the player, she always shows resistance or fear towards the male protagonists.”

"Even some of the options show this, such as the first encounter with Ruan Liang that you experienced. The other options are understandable, but I don't understand why the first option is screaming? Ruan Liang didn't suddenly speak or pat Xiaobai, so there is no possibility of being scared..."

The teddy bear supports its head with its paws, giving it a sense of pretending to be serious and funny.

"In the forums for abnormal love, some players also discussed this. In the end, they thought Xiaobai was too well protected - she had never left home before, and this was her first time interacting with the opposite sex of the same age, so it was normal for her to feel helpless and shy."

"But I always feel that it's not shyness, but fear from the heart."

Gently stroking the top of the teddy bear's head, Cecia said, "Have you ever thought that the world that Xiaobai sees is completely different from what the players see?"

"Why do you say that? Do you know anything?"

The teddy bear's voice was full of urgency, and his body leaned forward unconsciously, as if his claws wanted to grab something.

"If you want, I can show you the world through her eyes. However, it might destroy the beautiful image of Archion in your mind..."

“I want to see it!”

The teddy bear agreed directly, interrupting Cecia's next words.

"The one in the copy is not the real Archion at all! He must have been influenced by something. No matter what his true appearance is, it will not interfere with my love for Archion himself!"

"Okay." Cecia said, "Go to sleep for a while, and I'll take you there late at night."

…

Four o'clock in the morning.

It was a time of complete silence, with everyone fast asleep. Only the stars twinkled silently in the night sky, peeking at the paused world below.

Cecilia lay quietly on the soft bed, breathing long and evenly. Next to her pillow, a small teddy bear was also sleeping soundly.

The other person was lying on the simple bed with his arms and legs spread out, smacking his lips from time to time, as if he was dreaming about something delicious.

At this silent moment, Cecilia suddenly opened her eyes, her scarlet eyes were particularly conspicuous in the darkness. Without making any sound, she gently pushed the teddy bear who was still sleeping.

"Hmm... It's only a few hours now, let me sleep a little longer..."

The teddy bear muttered and pushed the big hands impatiently.

Seeing this, Cecia deliberately covered its nose.

Finally, under the threat of suffocation, the little guy had to climb out of the bed, with the corners of his mouth drooping and reluctance written all over his face.
