Chapter 482 The Girl in a White Dress Treading Water

"Thank you, Miss Shui Yanqing has gone to bed."

In the academy's mansion, the three of them sent Shui Yanqing back to her residence. After helping Shui Yanqing change into her pajamas, the two maids came out to thank her.

They are said to be maids, but their temperament is closer to that of nurses, at least in Tilan's opinion.

"Please sit down for a while, three adults. These are our special drinks and snacks." Soon, two maids brought light red grapefruit juice and cut cheese sorbet.

"Thank you." Blanche took it and tasted it in small sips.

Sitting in front of the coffee table, Olesi glanced at the surrounding environment with a slight curiosity, because she did not have a good relationship with Shui Yanqing, and this was her first time coming to the mansion where Shui Yanqing lived.

Compared with the style of the ice elf royal family over there, the decoration here has obvious marine elements, such as waves, shells, light blue curtains, and fish-like wind chimes by the window. The overall look is clear and cool. feeling.

"Is this your first time here?" Tilan couldn't help but ask when she saw Aurese looking around.

"Yes, it's the first time. As you know, our relationship is not very good."

"I know, but you don't have irreconcilable conflicts, right? Many times the discord is also due to issues of concept and experience."

"Just like what happened today, Olesi should know why Shui Yanqing is always cautious and flattering."

"I know~"

Auresi actually wanted to argue with Tilan, but there were many outsiders here, so she didn't want to talk here, so she just lengthened her tone to tell Tilan to stop talking.

After that, the three of them sat for a while, finished their snacks, and then said goodbye and left.

In the next few days, the four of them attended class and studied normally. However, Shui Yanqing talked a lot less these days, and occasionally she would be in a daze, as if this was her true appearance.

It was the end of another day of classes, and it was already evening. Everyone dispersed, while Tilan and Olesi walked under the canopy of trees in the academy, looking at the sunset in the distance and talking about recent events.

"She still doesn't talk much today." Tilan thought of Shui Yanqing's behavior in the past two days.

"Is the blow so big?" Ores didn't quite understand. Isn't it just a misunderstanding?

"Maybe it's not a big deal, but Shui Yanqing has always had identity anxiety in her heart, but what happened that day exploded these anxieties, and she can't escape them."

"Aurese."

"Um?"

"Do you understand what it would be like to be in this situation when everyone around you is different from you, but you don't have any family members, clansmen, or even anyone who truly stands by your side?"

"Although elves and orcs are different from humans, they have actually been getting along with each other for tens of thousands of years. They have been integrated into each other's culture and history, and they are not particularly exclusive. In addition, they also have huge groups, so they will not be alone, and Shui Yanqing no the same."

"She came into this world almost alone. The organizations and people who created her have long since disappeared from history. Many people actually look at her as an experimental specimen and observation material."

"If we want to talk about the person closest to her, it might be Dr. Newman who brought her out of the ruins back then."

"Unfortunately, according to the information I found, that doctor also passed away last year."

"Unlike you who is popular and loved by everyone, if she makes a mistake, no one will come to save her, and not many people will even speak for her. Her origin is inherently vulnerable to criticism, even if she is protected by her status as a singer. In this way, Shui Yanqing always lives a careful life and becomes better at 'socializing' because it is necessary for survival."

"You may not care about many comments, but she must care, so she will appear less bold and forthright. Sometimes, for the sake of the scene and atmosphere, she will say some superficial remarks with a hint of hypocrisy."

"Wow, okay, okay, Tilan, I know I was wrong, don't say it anymore." Orisi covered her ears, a little afraid that Tilan would continue to speak.

"She said she felt bad about me, and she even bullied her." Orlais complained softly.

"I know it's not easy for her, just don't laugh at her in the future." Even though she knew that her past behavior was not very good, Ores still felt a little embarrassed. This was probably her arrogant side.

"Haha, it's fine if Oresi knows, then I won't say anything." Tilan knew that Oresi understood what she said and smiled, so she didn't continue.

Seeing that Tilan shut up, Oles put down the hand covering her ears, then took Tilan's wrist and ran towards the river not far away.

"Go sit here for a while."

She was talking about a small shrub on the river bank. It should have been pruned and relatively regular, and there were white flowers blooming between the shrubs, similar to roses.

Arriving under the bushes, Ole Lace stretched a little first, then took off her sandals and stepped on the green grass with her toes.

"This is really comfortable." She walked back and forth on the grass for a few steps, then with a little help, her body jumped up lightly, gliding slightly for a few meters with the breeze, and then fell down.

She originally had a lively and romantic personality, but it was only because of her status as a singer that she appeared like a perfect princess in front of outsiders.

"Can you walk with me for a while, Tilan." After jogging a few steps, she turned back and extended her hand, inviting Tilan to follow.

"OK."

So the two of them walked towards the river.

As you get closer, you can gradually hear the sound of gurgling water in the small river. There are many pebbles in the river. Some of the pebbles on the shore have dried in the water, showing a white color, while the parts in the water have been submerged. The color appears much darker.

The tip of the toe landed easily on the dry part of the pebbles, and the two of them stepped over them easily, jumping by the stream as if they were playing some kind of childhood game.

It was early spring, and the area where the school was located was also very warm. The water was particularly cool, not cold.

After walking for a while, Orlesi rolled up her skirt with one hand, held Tilan's hand with the other, and then stepped into the stream by the river with a splash, and the water just covered the back of her feet.

After that, she stepped into the water, gurgling forward, a little bit enjoying it, and occasionally laughed happily.

After a while, Orlesi was a little tired, and then she was led by Tilan's hand and walked out of the river and walked towards the bushes where the two came from.

"I used to play like this in the forest, and occasionally I could see deer by the river, but it was not so convenient after I became a singer. Leaving the Shuangshu Star Region, wherever I go is a highly modern urban environment." Orlesi brushed the silver hair beside her ear and talked about her previous experience.

"It's not that I hate being a singer. In fact, I like being a singer. I just miss my childhood sometimes."

"Live in a peaceful and beautiful forest, play with everyone, don't worry about anything."

"I miss the carefree age when I didn't have to think about too many complicated things." Tilan sighed after hearing this. Many people have the same idea as Orlesi.

Sometimes, she would dream of returning to elementary school, when her sister was still there, her family was still good, and she had many good friends in school.

"Wow, Tilan always interrupts me."

Orlesi rarely acted like a spoiled child, as if she wanted to take back the part that Tilan had taught her before.

"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt Orlesi." Tilan said with a smile, and continued to listen to Orlesi's childhood stories.

In this way, the two came to the bush, and Orlesi hugged her knees and recalled slowly, until the sunset was about to fall, and then she put on her sandals again and went back with Tilan.

In the afterglow, the figures of the two were very long, like the story scroll depicted on the old parchment.
