I rely on myself

Chapter 289 Shopping
After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Alice's eyes when looking at Akabane Raijin and the automatic dolls beside him completely changed. It was a look as if she was estimating something.

She should be thinking about how to pull this sudden joker to her side and achieve her goal.

After all, Lin Yuan has already explained that although the forbidden doll is not yet a divine machine, it is getting closer, right? If so, it must have extraordinary power. If used properly, then her chances of achieving her goal will be much higher.

Lin Yuan looked at Alice's pensive expression and had no intention of stopping her. He knew Alice's goal and how low the possibility of success was. Alice herself also knew it, but this was Alice's own persistence.

Although she knew that if she asked Lin Yuan for help, Lin Yuan would certainly agree, and the possibility of success would become inevitable, but for some reason, Alice still decided to rely on her own strength to take revenge on the man.

Lin Yuan also respected Alice's wishes and did not intervene rashly, but of course he did not just stand there and watch. Even if Alice failed, Lin Yuan had enough ability to save Alice, so he just let it go.

Afterwards, the two stopped discussing and started chatting, talking about what delicious food the restaurant had, the student's sudden embarrassment, and various information spread in the news.

Although most of it was just idle chat with no real effect, it was relaxing. The two of them chatted in such a relaxed atmosphere, and would chuckle from time to time because of something interesting.

The award ceremony came to an end quickly as the two chatted, and people began to leave one after another.

Alice stretched her body after watching this scene and said, "Since it's over, it's time to leave."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan seemed to suddenly remember something. He took out a clock and looked at the time, then showed a relieved expression, as if he was rejoicing about something. Just when Alice was puzzled about this, Lin Yuan turned to look at her and spoke.

"Although this is a little sudden, you should have nothing to do this afternoon."

Although it was a question, it was said in an affirmative tone.

When Alice heard Lin Yuan's words, she looked thoughtful, as if she had thought of something. She showed an interested expression and replied, "Ah, it is indeed as you said. I am free in the afternoon. So, what advice do you have for our busy Lin Yuan?"

Listening to Alice's teasing words, Lin Yuan didn't care and directly stated his request.

"Then could you please go out with me this afternoon? I promise I won't let you down."

"Oh, then I can understand this as an invitation for a date?"

Hearing this, Alice's smile widened, revealing a smile as beautiful as a flower.

Lin Yuan did not answer this, but bent down and extended his hand, looking like an invitation, answering directly with his action.

Seeing this, Alice immediately showed a bright smile, then placed her little hand on Lin Yuan's outstretched hand, looking like she accepted it, and spoke at the same time.

"Since you are such a busy man and you rarely invite me, it would be very rude of me not to give you face, so as a lady, I will accept your invitation with reluctance."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Lin Yuan looked at Alice, who looked happy but said something reluctantly, and replied in a sullen manner.

After the two looked at each other, they suddenly couldn't help laughing, and their joyful laughter spread. Lin Yuan and Alice left the Royal Academy of Mechanics. Of course, because of the guards at the door, they were the only two of them. Neither Lin Yuan's Heroic Spirit Doll nor Alice's Xin were with them.

Although if they were to think of a way, both of them could easily take their dolls out of the academy, but today is a date, so naturally the fewer people the better, so both of them are happy with it.

Alice wandered the streets of Liverpool, as beautiful, dreamy, lively and cheerful as a fairy in a fairy tale, with her laughter as clear as a silver bell constantly ringing in the ears, and she kept wandering among the various shops on both sides of the street.

There are shops selling special snacks, promoting the most popular clothing, and displaying all kinds of exquisite small accessories. As a smart city, there is certainly no shortage of shops related to automatons.

Alice kept visiting the shops that interested her, and Lin Yuan, who followed closely behind her, did not show any impatience. He just looked at her with a doting expression and let Alice drag his arm as they walked together.

When passers-by saw this scene, they all smiled kindly, as if they were secretly blessing the two young people.

The two of them, no, it should be said that Alice dragged Lin Yuan around happily for about two hours before they stopped.

Alice finished the last bite of the snack she bought from a roadside stall, swallowed the food with a look of great satisfaction on her face and spoke.

"I haven't had this much fun in a long time."

"How dare you say that? You are so happy. I was almost dragged away by you. Really."

Although he said these complaints, Lin Yuan looked doting, which showed that he was just talking.

Alice also saw through this and refuted mercilessly: "Humph, I don't know who proposed the date invitation. Since it was the one who proposed it, he should have expected this, right?"

Lin Yuan was completely unable to refute this point, and when Alice saw Lin Yuan's irrefutable look, she instantly burst into laughter.

"... Speak softly, speak softly. It's disrespectful to speak in public like this, and it will damage the reputation of a lady..."

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at Alice's look and tried to persuade her, but Alice didn't pay any attention and still looked smiling.

Alice laughed for a long time until her stomach seemed to be cramping, and then she stopped. Lin Yuan was already giving up because he couldn't stop her.

Wiping the tears from her eyes from laughing earlier, Alice spoke with a look of complete satisfaction.

"Okay, today's date was very satisfying, so where are we going next?"

Hearing Alice's words, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Did you find out?"

"Yeah, I saw that a long time ago."

Alice smiled and gave an affirmative answer.
