It's December.

The cold wind blowing from the north was even colder, and the young researchers in the Magic Research Institute, no matter how energetic they were, had to huddle in the research room to conduct research in this climate, instead of rushing out to make a fuss like usual.

Evita's physique is not very good, so she is more afraid of the cold than ordinary people, and at this time, she will naturally close all the doors and windows of the research room tightly, so as not to let a trace of cold wind enter through the cracks.

Feeling the warm air flow blowing from the magic air conditioner, Evita habitually rubbed her hands, but she couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude to Xu Yi in her heart.

If it weren't for Xu Yi's development of a magic air conditioner for heating and cooling, and installing one or even two magic air conditioners in each research room of the Magic Research Institute before the arrival of winter, I'm afraid that now Evita would have to endure the cold indoors as in previous years.

Although it is possible to use the guò fireplace to keep warm from the cold, this will cause the air in the room to be very bad, which Evita has always hated.

Of course, there is a more convenient solution that does not affect the air, and that is to set up a large flame circle.

However, the minimum cost of arranging such a formation is more than 100 gold coins, plus the maintenance cost of each month is more than 30 gold coins, no matter how generous Xu is, I am afraid that he will not arrange it for every research room.

But after thinking about it, Evita was a little unsure.

According to his understanding of Xu Yi, he is the president who values his subordinates very much.

When I was in Anwemar City before, because of the matter of Aleri. He fully embodied this.

If he were the president of another chamber of commerce, he would at most only give Aleri a little financial care. However, Xu Yi actually managed to let Anke Allen personally come to the door to apologize to Aleri on the spot.

All the researchers at the institute were stunned, because they knew Anke Allen's identity very well. It is also clear what a haughty and arrogant person he is.

Xu Yi was able to make him lower his head and apologize in front of so many people, which was really unexpected by everyone.

Because of this incident, Xu Yi's image in the hearts of the researchers suddenly became even higher.

In the minds of many researchers, he has even become an idol.

However, Evita sees it differently than many others.

The first thing she thought of was that Xu Yi was able to do this, and he must have paid a lot of price for it.

If she was Aleri, she would definitely ask Xu Yi not to do it for herself, because she didn't want Xu Yi to pay a price he wasn't willing to pay for it.

But in that case. Of course, she couldn't say these words, so she could only bury them silently in her heart.

However, now that she felt the heating from the magic air conditioner, Evita thought of Xu Yihou, but a question popped up in her heart.

"Actually...... Why do I think that?"

Just as Evita's thoughts were getting closer to the real, but rather reluctant to admit answer, there was a few crisp knocks on the door.

Evita was stunned, only then did she wake up from her distraction, thinking of all the strange thoughts in her mind just now, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and settled down. Only then did she open the door that she had locked from the inside.

The door opened, revealing a visitor who had surprised Evita.

"Steele, why are you here?" Evita stepped out of the way and ushered Steele, who had wrapped herself tightly, into the house.

"I'm idle and bored, and I remember that I haven't been here to report for a long time. Just run and take a look. Steele took the hot tea from Evita and took a careful sip before letting out a sigh. "This weather. It's really cold. ”

Evita smiled, sat down across from Steele, and said, "You've been fired from me a long time ago." It's okay if you don't report it. ”

Steele froze for a moment, and reached out to pinch Evita's nose. smiled and said: "Okay, Evita, you are majestic when you become this dean, don't you? You dare to fire me? Believe it or not, I let Xu Yi go and expel you, the dean?"

Evita snorted softly: "Then you go and say, see if he is reluctant to fire me." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

Steele looked at Evita for a while, and couldn't help but say, "I found out that you were taken by Akali and Bella, and you both like to joke about Xu Yi." ”

Evita's face was slightly red, she pretended to drink tea and lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Bella shouldn't be now, but Akali ......"

Hearing the regret in Evita's tone, Steele was stunned, the expression on his face was also a little complicated, he was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "Actually, I can see it." But...... You can't let me give Xu Yi to her, right?"

Evita quickly raised her head, shook her head, and said, "No, I didn't mean that. Steele, you and Xu Yi like each other, this is a very lucky thing, you must cherish it, and you can't let it go lightly. Even if...... Even though Akali is a good friend of ours, it would be better to be selfish in this kind of thing. ”

Steele smiled lightly, looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside the window, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that even if I don't want to let go, I'm a little worried that I won't be able to catch it......"

Evita was stunned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong between you and Xu Yi? Didn't you see that you were okay some time ago?"

"No, nothing has gone wrong yet. It's just ......" Steele frowned slightly, looking a little annoyed. "It's just that I suddenly feel like he doesn't care about me that much......"

Evita frowned and asked, "Why did you suddenly think that? Did something really happen?"

Steele seemed to lose her usual dazzling brilliance in an instant, and even the confidence that had always been full of it seemed to fade from her at this time.

Hearing Evita's question, she took a sip of tea and thought for a moment before she said slowly, "Evita, there's one thing." I haven't said it to you. In fact, this time I went to Anvimar City, I met Vincent. ”

"Huh?" Evita was taken aback. "When did you meet him, and where?"

"Hmm. He was there for me at the time. Steele nodded.

"Did he react then? Did he get angry?" asked Evita, a little worried.

Steele smiled bitterly: "It's because he's not angry that I'm worried." After seeing Vincent. Not only did he not mean to be angry at all, but he didn't even show that he cared at all. He knew that I had liked Vincent before, and I thought that after seeing Vincent, he would be a little jealous and have a special reaction. But he didn't react at all......"

Speaking of this, Steele showed a painful expression, bent down, buried his head in Evita's lap, and said softly, "Evita." I don't think he cares about me at all, he doesn't really like me, otherwise how could he not react when he sees Vincent?"

Evita reached out and touched Steele's long bright golden hair, and smiled, "How do you think he reacts?" Based on what I know about Xu Yi, I think he just didn't take Vincent seriously at all. Don't you think...... Is Vincent's kind of person not on the same level as him at all? Do you think an elephant would look at an ant with the right eye?"

Steele raised his head sharply and glared at Evita angrily: "Vincent is an ant, and I used to like him as an ant, too?"

Evita burst into laughter and pinched Steele's face.

"You're an ant. That's a pretty ant, too. ”

Steele sighed, "But no matter how beautiful an ant is, it's just an ant, and an elephant won't care about it." ”

Evita couldn't help but shake her head: "It seems that Steele, the most beautiful and confident in our Lampari Royal Academy, will lose his confidence once he really starts to fall in love." ”

"yes. I don't really have confidence right now. Steele nodded honestly. "If he really cares about me, why wouldn't he mind Vincent? If he really likes me, why...... Why don't you propose to me yet?"

Evita couldn't help but give Steele a blank look: "Hey." I remember that you yourself told Xu Yi several times that you hadn't thought about it yet, so you didn't plan to get married for the time being? Now you blame him for not proposing to you?"

"I ...... I just didn't want to say yes to him at first. But I can't figure it out. He didn't even mention the marriage proposal at all? Evita, you say...... Is he not going to marry me at all now?"

Evita couldn't help but knock Steele on the head, "You say everything yourself." Now I want to blame Xu Yi, believe it or not, if he knows about it, he really doesn't want you? Who stipulated that men must propose to women? If you really like him and make up your mind to be with him, why don't you reveal your meaning to him?"

"How do I reveal that?" asked Steele, stunned.

Evita shook her head helplessly: "From what I know about him, I don't think he doesn't like you, it's not that he doesn't care about you, it's just that he seems to be a little dull about this kind of thing, so I think, if you want anything, just go and tell him directly." For example, you directly sue him, because he doesn't care about Vincent, you feel that he doesn't care about you, and for example, you directly sue him, you think clearly, you can be with him forever. ”

Steele's face was slightly red: "Why am I embarrassed to say this kind of thing directly?"

Evita said slightly angrily: "Xu Yi is such a good man, it is your luck that you have met such a good man, if you don't want to grasp it, then let it go and change me!"

Stille was stunned for a moment, and Evita also realized that she had lost her words as soon as she spoke, coughed twice in embarrassment, forced her composure, and changed the subject and asked, "Sue me, Steele, where have you and him reached now?"

Steele was still a little dazed: "What step?"

"Of course it......" Evita also blushed slightly. "It's that aspect ......"

Only then did Steele understand what Evita meant, his face flushed a little deeper, and he lowered his head slightly shyly: "We just kissed, and we didn't do anything else." ”

"Looks like that's the problem. Evita thought for a moment. "Steele, you've been dating for more than half a year, haven't you?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's been so long, you've only stopped kissing. If I were Xu Yi, maybe I would think that you don't care about him. Since you don't care about him, it's no surprise that he has this attitude towards you now. Evita analyzed.

Steele immediately tensed: "What then?"

"It's very simple, do what I just said, and tell him what you think. Evita said seriously. "Believe me, Xu Yizhen is very slow in this regard. Otherwise, I'm sure he'd be surrounded by countless beautiful girls right now, and he wouldn't still be single-minded about you. ”

Steele pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Okay, I see. ”

"Do you know what to do?"

"I ...... Will consider. ”

"Not a consideration. The expression on Evita's face became very stern. "Instead, you have to do it! Otherwise, you really have to let it go." ”

"And then you're here?" Steele asked in a grim voice.

Evita was silent for a moment, and then replied, "If you want to, so will I." ”

Steele looked at Evita in amazement, but Evita didn't look away as if she didn't want to admit defeat.

For a moment, the house became unusually quiet. (To be continued......)
