Plane Convenience Store

"Ding dong~"

In a quiet convenience store, the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be clearly heard, let alone a gem.

The crisp sound caught Lu Lu's attention, but seeing Alice blushing, he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't notice it, while scanning mentally to see what had fallen on the ground.

What slipped from the corner of Alice's eyes was a clear sapphire.

The particles of sapphire are very small, only the size of a grain of rice.

Since Zhao Xue sent some diamonds of various colors from time to time, Lu Lu admired all kinds of jewelry, and even collected a few gems the size of a palm.

An ordinary sapphire is nothing unusual.

However, if the gemstone is a teardrop, it is even more unusual.

When Lu Lu saw Alice for the first time, he thought she was an ordinary rich girl who just didn't go out often, so she was curious about everything.

But now, he no longer thinks of Alice as an ordinary girl.

How could it be possible for an ordinary girl to shed gems as soon as she shed tears?

Lu Lu pretended to be nonchalant, but Alice took a sneak look at Lu Lu, thinking that he hadn't noticed, and while relieved, she also secretly began to feel ashamed.

She was annoyed that she had forgotten to shed tears, and she was ashamed that she had done such things in other people's homes.

She clearly knew that she would create garbage when she shed tears, so how could she cry unscrupulously?

Although the owner 'didn't notice' this, Alice was afraid that the rubbish she made would rest on her feet, so she squatted down quietly and quickly wrapped the sapphire with a handkerchief.

When all this was done, she rose lightly and swiftly, tucked the sapphire-wrapped handkerchief into her skirt, and pretended nothing had happened.

Fortunately, the shop owner has been reading the book in his hand and didn't notice her, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.

Alice exhaled lightly, and soon became excited about the adventure just now.

Putting the small hand mirror in her bosom carefully, Alice became more tired.

She is a little sleepy now, so some want to go back.

But going back... Will she still have the opportunity to come to this place and chat with the shop owner in the future?

Because she was familiar with Lu Lu, she had doubts, so Alice said it out.

And Lu Lu was used to answering these questions, so he told Alice all the common questions about the convenience store, so that she had a rough idea of ​​the existence of the convenience store.

"I understand, thank you... I will come to play again if I have a chance in the future."

Knowing that she could come here to play in the future, Alice was even happier.

Especially knowing that this is a different world, there are no parents in this world, and she is the only one who can come here.

Because, she just remembered something, her parents told her that she can't talk to strangers.

Alice knew that her disease was very bad, and she would infect others after being in contact with others for a long time, but this is a different world, and people in another world should not be infected by her disease, right?

Well, the shopkeeper has talked to her so much, and there is no strange thing coming out of his eyes. It must be nothing. Then her disease will not be transmitted to people in other worlds.

The other world is indeed a good place.

Knowing that she could chat with normal people in another world, Alice felt a little bit more reluctant.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but turn her head and said, "Shopkeeper, is what you said true? Can I still come here to play with you in the future?"

"If I come here often, will you find me annoying and hate me?"

"No, come often when you have time."

Lu Lu agreed casually, and with Lu Lu's assurance, Alice turned her head in peace, stepped out of the store with a mirror in her arms, and returned to her room - the attic.

"Ah, I didn't pay attention when I left, the candles were all burned out..."

The parents did not leave a clock in the room, so Alice had no way of knowing the time.

She only remembered that there were still burning candles in the room when she left, but now the candles have been extinguished. From this point of view, she should have been gone for a long time.

The candle burned out, which troubled Alice a bit, as she had just got a mirror and wanted to play with it for a while.

But the candle was extinguished, and she couldn't see anything clearly in the pitch black. Even though the mirror was very shiny, she couldn't play to her heart's content without light.

Otherwise, wait until tomorrow morning to play again?

Unknowingly, the silver-white hair fell to her shoulders, making Alice itchy.

So, Alice put the mirror on the soft bed, first touched a green hair tie from the bedside table, and loosely tied up her cool and snowy hair. Playing with mirrors at night'.

Sure enough, let's play.

Tormented by the mirror, she lost even sleepiness, so Alice decided not to embarrass herself.

Fortunately, the moonlight was good tonight, so through the moonlight seeping into the room, she successfully found the match.

With the help of matches, she lit new candles.

This beeswax ignited a small but warm light, not big, but with a hint of light, it was enough for Alice to have a good time.

She has long been familiar with the darkness.

Facing the gloomy light, Alice in the mirror was extremely pale, which seemed a little weird.

However, the gloomy face due to the light did not frighten Alice. She smiled at the mirror, and the people in the mirror also smiled at her, which made her extremely satisfied, feeling that the mirror was not bought in vain, and it was not in vain for her. Replace it with your favorite bow.

Alice has been playing with the novelty toy of the mirror for a long time, but it is really lonely to only take pictures of one person.

Alice felt lonely for no reason, so she pulled two rabbit dolls to look in the mirror with her.

Needless to say, with the rabbit doll in her arms, Alice felt much more fulfilled in her heart.

Even the rabbit dolls in the mirror looked sinister, but Alice knew what they looked like during the day, so she didn't dislike them, but hugged them even tighter.

"Mr. Rabbit, sleep with me tonight~"

She lowered her head and muttered to herself with the rabbit puppet in her arms, and happily made a decision.

The moon in the sky moved a little, and the beeswax burned out quickly.

Although there were other candles, they had a lot of smoke, and Alice didn't want them to damage the mirror and her cherished puppet.

So, even though she hasn't played enough, she can only put away the mirror and wait until dawn to play.

Before going to bed, Alice put the rabbits on the bed, one on each side.

Fearing that the rabbits would catch cold while sleeping, she stuffed half of their bodies under the quilt, leaving only the eyes and two rabbit ears exposed.

I sang a ditty I made up for the rabbits and lulled them to sleep.

Then Alice quietly stood aside, and after making sure that the rabbits were not shaking their ears secretly, she took out a handkerchief soaked in onion juice, and then held a wooden box and put the wooden box on her lap.

After doing all this, she began to wipe her eyes with an onion handkerchief. Of course, under the spicy stimulation, her eyes immediately burst into tears.

"Woo~ I'm so uncomfortable..."

Her eyes hurt from the onion juice, but Alice refrained from complaining lest she accidentally swallow the sapphire in her mouth.

Wet teardrops rolled down from the eye sockets, and once they were disconnected from the body, the teardrops would turn into the purest sapphires and sprinkle into the box piecemeal, making a gloomy sound.

At the bottom of the box, a full layer of bright and beautiful sapphires has been piled up.

Alice was crying while thinking, when the box is full, the parents should have finished their work outside, and they should be able to find time to visit her again.

Not to mention, she missed them a little bit after not seeing them for so long.

She wanted delicious little treats, but also beautiful clothes and cute dolls that her mother had brought.

But what she looks forward to most is that her parents will accompany her to have a meal on this day.

And that day, she could go to the restaurant on the second floor to have lunch with her parents, which was the only time she could leave the attic.

In the room on the second floor, there is only one dining table, and the decoration is not as gorgeous as the attic.

But the humble home is also made quite cute because the father and mother will be there.

Not to mention, every time she waits for her parents to come, she will look forward to, will they bring her brother this time?

My mother once said that as long as her illness gets better, she will bring her younger brother to see her. I really look forward to it.

While guessing her younger brother's appearance, Alice bluntly wiped her eyes with an onion handkerchief.

Her mother told her that her illness came from her tears, and as long as she dries up all her tears, she will be a normal person in the future, like girls outside, able to play with girls of the same age and see her younger brother.

Because of this, Alice never escapes when she rubs her eyes every day.

Although sometimes the hard thing would poke her face and make her very uncomfortable, but thinking that this would cure her illness sooner, Alice insisted on wiping her eyes with a handkerchief until she counted 'ding dong' The number of times, I felt that it was almost the same, so I stopped and continued to wipe my eyes.

Well, her illness needs to be cured slowly, and crying too much every day is not good for the cure.

Since she was too impatient once and was reprimanded by her mother, she never dared to cry for too long at once.

Alice was also a little tired from crying so many tears.

If she looked in the mirror at this time, she would find that her eyes were red, like a rabbit.

Use a normal handkerchief to wash her eyes with water, and when the acrid feeling on her eyes fades away, Alice becomes sleepy from tiredness, and falls asleep with the white rabbit in her arms.

Alice today is also living a fulfilling life.

Convenience store

Because of the Chinese New Year, the sound of firecrackers outside has been ringing non-stop.

So Lu Lu simply opened the store a little later. He still didn't sleep until eleven o'clock. Naturally, the environment was not suitable for sleeping, and the store was not closed.

Lu Lu originally thought that there would be no more customers coming so late, but who knew that when it was approaching twelve o'clock, another person stepped into the store, an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Song Cheng, carrying a box of things, walked into the store in high spirits.

Seeing that although he was tired, he couldn't hide his happy expression, Lu Lu had a guess in his heart, so he said with confidence: "Song Cheng, have you finished your imperial examination?"

"The exam is over, and the rankings have been released." Song Cheng said vigorously: "Shopkeeper, I won!"
