"—Because you've never been treated well."

……

Every confession and complaint made on her phone in the past was firmly remembered by the girl and engraved in the deepest part of her memory.

—Alicia doesn't care about Jiangcheng at all.

The fairy-like girl didn't care about the boy at all.

No matter how beautiful or flawless it is, no matter how unattainable it is, no matter how radiant it is, if I don't care, I simply don't care.

Father, like son.

The essence of a relationship is the time and energy one person is willing to give to another, and the degree to which two people are willing to compromise for each other. No matter how noble the so-called emotion may seem, its core essence remains selfishness.

It is precisely because of selfishness that love for the individual can be shown, and it is precisely because of favoritism that love for one person can be shown in a way that is completely different from that for others.

No matter how sweet the words may sound.

No matter how sweet the words.

No matter how much you grit your teeth when you say "love".

Ultimately, it's just empty talk. These things have been discussed to death throughout human history, and you can easily find thousands of sweet examples of them.

Only the emotions contained in genuine actions matter.

Alicia and Jiang Cheng seem to have a very good and intimate relationship, as if their relationship is not so ordinary, just as the boy said.

but……

really?

Is it really that special?

Was Alicia genuinely kind to Jiang Cheng, or was it just Jiang Cheng's own imagination that she was kind?

Wilvi had never personally experienced it. Although she would make some small devices to try to observe Jiangcheng up close, she only ever observed it normally and never touched on the other party's privacy in the slightest.

But that's enough.

That's more than enough.

Do we really have to delve into emotions and details, and find every single behavior to determine whether one person is sincere towards another?

No.

That's never made sense.

People are completely different, but no one can deny that behaviors and thoughts can reach a certain degree of similarity and can be partially understood.

At least when Alicia truly focused her attention on Jiang Cheng, she spent no more than two or three hours a day on him. Most of the time, she was as if she were being chased by a tiger, eagerly doing her own thing and meeting more people.

This relationship is really just empty talk, hollow words, and the so-called trip together is more like one person making concessions to another.

It was nominally a trip, but in reality it had long since turned into an offline meet-and-greet with Alicia herself.

Sometimes it's other people who come to her.

Sometimes she goes to other people.

All her energy for the entire day was devoted to these things, even things that Wilvi couldn't find any connection to.

One day you might meet a businessman, and the next day you might be helping a scholar whose academic discipline is facing obstacles.

She seemed to be a saint, saving and helping everyone she could, and changing this somewhat terrible world.

Being a good person is not something to be denied, and even a young girl could not really criticize Alicia for anything.

She is not some hypocritical saint who says one thing and does another, nor is she a fool who, despite lacking the ability, insists on helping others and ends up in danger herself. She is someone who truly has the ability to change everything.

Any strange creatures encountered on the road can be dealt with before they are discovered in Jiangcheng, and any disputes can be resolved with a smile.

She was like a goddess of the stars and moon, far inferior to me, an incompetent and insecure person.

only……

Jiang Cheng shouldn't stay by her side.

Jiang Cheng's original intention was not like that. He genuinely wanted to accompany Alicia and took the initiative to suggest traveling together to see the world. He didn't have such an overly kind heart to help everyone he met.

He only wanted to help Alicia, that's all.

Alicia cannot fulfill this wish.

Perhaps in her eyes, Jiangcheng was no different from a stranger on the street.

Jiangcheng's status might even be somewhat lower.

According to the boy, she used to be willing to go to the orphanage or chat with the roadside vendors in the small town and play with them all day, but she was unwilling to spend even a single day there.

Even if it's just spending a day playing with Jiangcheng, even if it's just taking a tiny bit of time out of my schedule.

—Vilvie couldn't stand it.

The girl couldn't bear the fact that her friend, who was practically her only friend and the savior who pulled her out of her inferiority and inner turmoil, was being treated so disrespectfully, and even treated like a lazy sheep by her side.

and so……

"Please leave Alicia."

"Although I am incompetent and have low self-esteem, I am far less dazzling than Alicia. Spiral Workshop is just a studio that I set up myself."

"even so……"

Even if I can't find any redeeming qualities in myself.

Even though I am not qualified to say such words.

"I still hope you can come with me and embark on a trip that's just for the two of us."

……

On your birthday, your best friend, Velvi, gave you a birthday gift you never imagined.

[A shy voice, yet with a firm tone; not a confession, but more powerful than one.]

The boy couldn't comprehend what he was experiencing, even though his beating heart was conveying his feelings perfectly.

Why did you suddenly confess your feelings?

Why did you suddenly confess your feelings?

We haven't known each other for very long, and we haven't even had that much offline interaction. Vilvi, your favorability towards you is growing way too fast.

22. Please... leave Alicia!

Even giving it away for free is ridiculous. Besides, the self inside doesn't seem to have anything remarkable about it. It's just ordinary, with only average talent. Its Honkai energy resistance hasn't even been tested yet.

Although 90% of them are also parasites.

Well……

It's not entirely true that they didn't get along. With Vilvi's talent, if she really wanted to find information about someone, it shouldn't be much harder than drinking water.

Perhaps the lack of offline communication is only related to oneself.

They already know everything about me.

At this point in time, Wilvi hasn't reached the extreme level of self-loathing that follows, where she almost completely abandons herself and relies entirely on being a con artist for a living. Although she has reached the extreme of self-destruction, she hasn't completely collapsed.

In such a dark time, if someone lends a helping hand, the result of such timely assistance may indeed be quite positive.

The answer to love is the desire to be seen; it is shared trauma that allows people to see each other.

only……

Is Vilvi really that brave?

Or...

The girl had already decided to burn her bridges.

[You can clearly feel this, feel the fear in Vilvie, that kind of fear that seems to seep into her bones, and it almost replaces the inferiority and vulnerability that should always be around her at this moment...]

【No. 】

You're not so foolish as to lose your judgment.

This is not a replacement, but a strengthening.

[At best, it's wrapped in an outer layer of fear; in reality, it stems from a deep-seated insecurity and self-doubt. If you were to actually refuse her, the girl might truly fall into an abyss.]

This isn't even something that can be solved with so-called high-EQ conversation; there's no turning back, and even standing still is torture.

This is an extremely irrational act; even a normal person would be unlikely to do it, given the vast difference in the time elapsed between their meeting.

But perhaps for Velvi, watching you act like a sheep is even harder to accept than her own downfall.

When something you cherish is wantonly trampled on by others without any concern, this behavior is essentially trampling on yourself, or even more profoundly, an absolute and ultimate insult to your spirit.

[Unintentionally, the other person might also become Boiling Sheep, and even more ridiculously, more dramatically—a Boiling Sheep of Boiling Sheep.]

The choices you make next will change your life, as well as the lives of Virvi and Alicia.

[Option 1: You decide to reject Velvi's confession, stick to your initial decision, and accompany Alicia on her journey.]

[Option Two: You decide neither to reject nor accept. Since the girl is so obedient, she won't dislike you even if you keep her hanging on for a few more years.]

[Option 3: You decide to accept Virvie's confession, and you can't stand being around Alicia all the time, but your status might be lower than that of a stranger.]

【请选择——】

"..."

What other choice do we have?

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, his index finger hovering lightly in the air—the three options in front of him seemed fair, but in reality, they all pointed to only one.
