I rely on myself

Chapter 322 Concern
"Well, it's true that if it weren't for your help, Lin Yuan, I would have been locked in a cage right now, but I'm really bored now!"

Alice complained from the bottom of her heart. She was of course very grateful for Lin Yuan's help, but she also knew that if it weren't for the other party's arrangement, she would not have the opportunity to complain about boredom now.

But one thing is one thing, since it has only been a few days, there are still many people in Liverpool looking for Alice's whereabouts.

In response to this, Lin Yuan of course told Alice not to go out and to stay in the house to avoid detection by all parties. He planned to wait until this incident was over before doing anything else.

This naturally prevented Alice from going out and had to stay in the house for a long time. It was okay for one or two days, but now that time had passed, Alice naturally felt very bored, so she complained about it the moment she saw Lin Yuan.

Looking at Alice like this, Lin Yuan felt helpless, but also somewhat relieved.

Because Alice can act like a little child in front of me, it means that she has gradually come out of the shadow of the past.

Of course Lin Yuan felt somewhat relieved about this. After all, Alice was one of the few people he could talk to in this foreign country.

After a big fight, the two finally calmed down. Alice vented all the dissatisfaction that had accumulated over the past few days because she couldn't go out, and finally returned to her usual elegant young lady appearance.

On the contrary, Lin Yuan was exhausted after the big fuss and had to appease Alice's willfulness. He couldn't help but complain when he looked at Alice's elegant appearance.

"I really don't know where you learned this look from."

"Haha, who knows? This is a lady's secret."

Alice put a finger on her lips and closed one eye, looking a little naughty, which, coupled with her fairy-like beautiful appearance, gave people a stunning feeling.

If other people saw this scene, they would probably be instantly fascinated and forgive her immediately. However, this had no effect on Lin Yuan, who had seen it countless times.

However, Lin Yuan didn't want to pursue the matter any further, so he rolled his eyes to express his attitude and let it go. Then Lin Yuan's face became serious and he spoke.

"Okay, let's stop playing around and get down to business. Isn't Xin here now?"

"No, I asked Xin to go out for a while to get some information and buy some daily necessities. Don't worry about being discovered. I cast an illusion on Xin and told him not to get close to places where there are people who can see through illusions, so nothing will happen."

Seeing Lin Yuan getting serious, Alice also put away her relaxed attitude and became serious.

"Is that so? That's good." Knowing where Xin was going, Lin Yuan felt a lot more at ease.

"From the looks of you, I think you're not just asking this. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Indeed, Liverpool will hold an Automata Expo next. You should know this."

The Automata Expo is a large-scale event and celebration held in Liverpool. There will be a variety of Automata dolls and technologies on display.

These automata and technologies all come from different workshops across Europe. They want to use this expo to make a name for themselves and gain more business and orders, so naturally they show their unique skills and enthusiasm.

It can be said that by then, the whole city of Liverpool will be very lively.

Alice would naturally know about this large-scale event.

"Automata Expo? Of course I know that. People in Liverpool have already started preparing for this event. So, what do you want to ask?" "What I want to ask is..."

Lin Yuan asked the question he wanted to know, and Alice's face changed after hearing it, and then she looked at Lin Yuan with strange eyes.

Lin Yuan's expression did not change at all. Seeing this, Alice seemed to realize something. After hesitating for a while, she finally told Lin Yuan the information he wanted to know.

After an unknown conversation, the two stopped.

"…Is that so? That's a great help."

After getting the information he wanted, Lin Yuan showed a happy smile on his face, but Alice was different. There was worry in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yuan.

Although it was her own decision, Alice couldn't help but feel a little regretful after she finished speaking, so she asked hesitantly: "...Lin Yuan, are you going to do anything with this information?"

"Ah, yes. For some reason, I took action next. The intelligence and information you mentioned are very important to me. Really..."

"That's not it! That information doesn't matter!!"

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Alice suddenly became excited and interrupted him.

"I'm worried about you!"

Alice expressed her concerns, saying that although the intelligence and information given to Lin Yuan were very valuable, it was no big deal for Alice. What she was worried about was Lin Yuan's actions based on this.

Although she didn't know Lin Yuan's detailed plan, Alice could still guess who was involved from the information Lin Yuan asked her.

Because she knew who Lin Yuan’s target was, Alice couldn’t help but worry about Lin Yuan’s safety.

Alice looked at Lin Yuan seriously, wanting him to give her an acceptable explanation.

Looking at Alice like this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile. It was a smile from the heart, feeling relieved, happy, cheerful, and etc. In short, Lin Yuan's mood was better than ever before.

"Why are you smiling so happily? I'm still asking you a question."

At first, Alice could still maintain that serious expression, but when she saw Lin Yuan's smile that came from the heart, somehow, she became less and less confident, and even gave in first. Her face turned red, and she looked shy.

Seeing Alice like this, Lin Yuan's smile grew even wider.

“…So answer me!” Alice looked so embarrassed that she even wanted to raise her hand to hit someone.

Although he really wanted to continue, Lin Yuan still spoke in order to prevent Alice from fainting from embarrassment.

"I'm just very happy. After all, Alice cares about me so much. Isn't it something worth being happy about?"
