"Ahaha" In response to Alicia's sudden question, Will held the back of his head with one hand and smiled, that smile was uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

"Don't try to fool around." Alicia gave him a blank look, then continued to arrange the carrots in her hand, and she continued, "Although I believe that you did not steal it, you must also give me a reasonable and correct explanation. ”

"Well," Will smiled and looked at the Christmas tree, which was decorated with a lot of gorgeous decorations, although it was not particularly good, but it was already relatively good for an ordinary Christmas tree.

He suddenly pretended to be serious and said, "Actually, it's me."

"I bought it with a part-time job?" Alicia took his words straight away.

"How do you know?" Will said with a look of surprise and delight.

"Humph! As soon as you open your mouth, I know what you're going to say. Alicia glanced at him again and said, "It's okay for you to deceive others, if you want to deceive your sister and me, practice for a few more years." ”

"Hmm" Will lowered his head in frustration, but after a while, as if he had decided something, he raised his head and said, "It's okay to tell you, but can you not tell Teacher Ivana?" ”

"Oh?" Alicia picked up a carrot, shook it twice in her hand, and said, "What's wrong?" Something bad? I still trust me so much."

"I don't!" Will interrupted her loudly, and then said, "Anyway, this is something I worked hard to get from the regular channels, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it!" ”

"Huh!" Looking at the roaring Vir, Alicia sneered, and then continued to sort out the carrots. Didn't care about Ville.

When Will saw her like this, he immediately panicked a little and shouted at Alicia, "Hey! Why don't you listen!? ”

"Cut." Alicia sneered and muttered, "I want your sister to rush and beg you to go?" How can it be? That's it, within ten seconds, you will honestly come over and recruit yourself. ”

As Alicia expected, no. Even faster than Alicia had guessed, Will walked up to her and said to her with her head bowed, "Do you listen?" ”

Alicia didn't answer, she was just a stuffy carrot, and after passing through his hands, pieces of dirt fell off the red carrots and fell to the ground, but they didn't make much noise, and the whole room could only hear the "crackling" of the fire and the shouts of Will.

"Actually, someone gave it away!" Will said this reluctantly. Then he turned and was directed towards Alicia.

"Who sent it?" Alicia asked softly, her words as calm as her hand arranging a carrot.

"Phew" Will let out a long sigh, it seemed that he was about to give up resistance, he sat down with his back to Alicia and said, "It was given to the owner of the ornament seller, and this Christmas tree is a merchandise from his store, and he gave it to me." ”

"What have you done to help people? People actually gave you such a good thing. There was a hint of doubt in Alicia's tone this time, though she wasn't as cynical as she used to be. However, she still naturally has doubts about this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing. He continued: "Anyway, I know the owner of that house, and he is a very good person, but it is impossible to give such a big gift suddenly without a reason." ”

"I would occasionally help out on his side, and he said it was my salary." Will said lightly: "Of course." With all the things I've done in the past, it's certainly not worth it. So, we made a verbal agreement that I would also go to him to help in the future, and part of this Christmas tree would be regarded as an advance on my salary. ”

"You're pretty capable, kid." Alicia said with a smile. The words were filled with a sense of satisfaction and excitement.

Will suddenly turned around, crawled up to Alicia and said, "Could you please not tell Ivana-sensei, if she did, she might have returned the tree and said, 'I'm really causing you trouble!'" 'Something like that, something like that, something like that"

Alicia watched as Vir became more and more excited, she waved her right hand to signal Vir to calm down, and she said slowly, "Teacher Ivana, I still have to tell you." ”

"How" Vir had just said when Alicia covered her mouth.

"I'll help you convince the teacher about this, but you owe me this." The corners of Alicia's mouth turned up, and she smiled at Will.

Will nodded, but he was about to take his mouth off Alicia's hand, but Alicia covered it even harder, and she said, "Don't worry, I still have this confidence." ”

"Hmm! Woooooo Will made a louder voice when his mouth was covered, but Alicia still didn't let go of him, but pulled him closer and said, "Don't you believe that your sister and I can't even handle this little thing?" ”

Will first nodded violently, and then shook his head vigorously, still trying to break free, which made Alicia angry, she didn't expect that she was looked down upon by this kid, and let go of her hand angrily, and said, "What's wrong with this method?" I see why you're so unhappy? ”

"Phew! Phew! Will spat hard, and at first Alicia thought he was doing it to herself, but then he saw the brown lumps flying out of the saliva, and the dirt hanging from Will's mouth. She looked down at her hands, the clods of dirt that had been stained from the carrots, and had turned into soft mud from some water, and she knew at once that it was because of this that Vir was in a hurry to get away from her.

This could not help but make her face flush slightly, and she quickly found a clean handkerchief and water from the side and handed it to Will, who tossed for a long time before the smell of Mother Earth was removed from her mouth.

After that, Alicia took Will to explain the Christmas tree to Ivana, and as Vir expected, Ivana planned to return it, but after repeated persuasion by Alicia, she kept it.

In this way, Alicia spent her first full Christmas in this House of Colors, and it was also the first Christmas in which the House of Colors had a real Christmas tree. (To be continued......)
