"Here, it's delicious."

A piece of bread was handed to Alicia, who was crouching in the corner, and she stared blankly at the long strip of bread, which was a little charred but fragrant.

“”

Alicia was quite conflicted at this time, if it was from the point of view of hunger alone, there was no doubt that she wanted to swallow this bread whole at once, and this loaf of bread alone was certainly not enough. However, she was very worried, worried about what would happen behind the bread

This is not to say that she was afraid that there was some kind of poison in this bread that she did not know about, because after all, he had brought himself back from outside, and had asked the man to help him bandage his wounds, which meant that it was useful for them to keep them, and they would not poison themselves now.

However, all people are the same, there are no eternal feelings, only eternal interests, and such unprofitable actions like theirs are unreasonable. So, it's like raising pigs or growing wheat, where the value of the young and the seeds is quite low, while the adult pigs and mature wheat are of high value, and are they in the same condition? At least for now, it seems to be true

That loaf of bread was not the food she used to fill her stomach, nor was it her hope of survival, but her compromise with a world where profit was paramount, and if she ate it, she would be no different from a pig who was locked in a pigsty and didn't want to sleep except waiting for her master to feed her all day.

"There's no poison, don't believe it!"

The boy standing in front of Alicia broke off a small piece of toasted from the loaf of bread and put it in his mouth and chewed it happily, he wanted to put Alicia at ease, but it was obvious that he would be wrong. It's the same as when he was standing outside with Alicia, but this time they had a strong way to convince Alicia of the facts.

"No, can I go?"

Although Alicia had already had a premonition when she was brought here, she couldn't have avoided it, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she still wanted to give it a try.

"But," the boy stopped, but it was only for a moment, and he said with a look of difficulty on his face, "You are still hungry, and besides, your clothes are still there."

At this time, Alicia realized one thing, that is, what she was wearing now was not her original clothes, but the person gave them, although the size was a little smaller, and some corners could not be covered completely, but it was much stronger than her previous clothes with holes everywhere.

What the boy said made Alicia feel difficult for a moment, because the dress had been sewn by that man, and if she went to ask for it now, she would definitely be entangled by that person, and it would be difficult to get out of it then; On the other hand, if he wanted to go out in their clothes, then the boy would definitely not agree. Come to think of this. Alicia was so upset that she did something she regretted until now

"Wow!" The boy screamed, immediately clasped his eyes with both hands, and turned and rushed into the corner, blaming Alicia, because she took off her only blouse in front of the boy without hesitation

"Here you go." Alicia picked up the dress and put it on the table in front of the boy, turned around and said, "I don't want that dress either, all right, I'm leaving." ”

Alicia walked directly to the door, but she suddenly felt a burst of pressure covering her upper body, and when she reacted, she had been hugged by the person from behind, and she was still in a state of being completely unable to break free.

"It's not okay for a girl to do this, and she still has to go out on the street." The man whispered, but it could be heard clearly by the three people present.

Alicia and the boy's faces turned red with a smack, and they both realized how embarrassing what had just happened, although they were still young, they were both quite precocious, and it was impossible not to understand this aspect of things.

"Come, that dress is too torn, because I was in too much hurry just now, and my children here are relatively young, there are no clothes suitable for you." As he said this, the man grabbed Alicia by the shoulder, forced her to turn 180 degrees, and said to himself: "I just found this dress from the closet, although no one has worn it for a long time, but you must wear it properly, trust my eyesight!" ”

Although Alicia is anxious to get out of here, as the person said, if she goes out like this, the world line may develop in another irreversible direction

Alicia quickly put on the clothes handed to her, and although she hadn't measured her measurements, she was surprised that they fit unexpectedly.

When the man saw Alicia put on her clothes, he nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said to her, "My name is Ivana, and I am the teacher here, just call me Ivana." ”

"Ivana, thank you, but I have to go." Alicia had no intention of talking to her for a long time, and after speaking, regardless of Ivana's reaction, she walked straight out.

"Don't worry," Ivana said with her arm to stop Alicia, "I know what you're thinking, don't worry, I'm not doing this for you, in return for this dress and the food, can you help me take care of those children for a while?" With that, she pointed to the corner, where some cerebellum was looking from that side.

"Hmm" Alicia was about to refuse, but her stomach screamed, which made her face flush again

"Okay," Alicia nodded reluctantly, "Well, deal, but I'll leave when the time comes." ”

"That's it, deal!" Ivana gently grabbed Alicia's hand, and although she didn't push it very hard, Alicia still felt an unknown sensation rush over her

The boy next to her also smiled like a sunny smile, a scene she still remembers, and he held out his hand to Alicia and said, "My name is Will, welcome to the House of Colors!" ”
