Alice thought, it was like a withered skeleton being infused with countless flowers, and the dead, heavy, and bitter blood being filled with sweet water, slowly bringing vitality to the veins.
It is like a traveler, when weary, suddenly encountering a white pagoda ahead, and vitality is rekindled.
Alice hadn't felt this way in a very, very long time. She never thought that just a few drops of blood could make her so crazy.
She raised her head, licked her lips in satisfaction, and looked at Evie with greedy eyes.
Without a doubt, this child's blood was a perfect match for what she was looking for, even more compatible than the few she had previously found.
It's a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
It would be such a pity to miss out on this.
Instead of sending the child to her sister, it would be better to keep her for a few days to ease her discomfort during this period of amnesia. Besides, it can also be seen as a small lesson for her sister.
Vengeance is engraved in Alice's DNA, and indifference serves as her protective color. She has never drawn a line between what is considered righteous and evil. She simply knows how to act on her whims.
The original protagonist was severely suppressed by the female protagonist. Even if the fault was on the original protagonist, so what? Should I forgive her on behalf of the original protagonist?
How is that possible?
She just felt that since she had taken over the original owner's body, she should at least do something to help her out a little. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to just take someone else's body without showing any gratitude.
Furthermore... Alice stared intently at Evie, thinking that since she might have saved the heroine's sister, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for some reward.
No matter how she looked at it, Alice felt justified. She was quite content with the fact that she was a good person.
Someone knocked on the door, drawing Alice's attention. She went to open it and found Aunt Lin holding a bowl. "Alice, this is the ginger soup I made. You and the child can drink it together." "Thank you, Aunt Lin," Alice said as she took the bowl. Aunt Lin then asked, "Is the child alright?"
"It's fine, I'm doing great," Alice smiled.
"That's good, that's good." Aunt Lin doesn't have any children, so she always has a special fondness for kids. "Tomorrow, I'm going to my older sister's house with the old man. Alice, you take care of this child first, and then take her to find her family. I won't be able to accompany you." Alice: "It's okay, you go ahead. I'll take good care of her."
Alice placed the ginger soup on the coffee table and handed her a spoon, saying, "Drink it yourself."
The little girl looked at Alice anxiously, not quite daring to drink. Alice was amused by her timid expression and curled her lips slightly. "What, don't you want to drink? Then don't drink!" "No, I want to drink." The child sat on the blanket-covered floor and took a sip cautiously, frowning as she felt the heat.
"Don't spit it out," Alice ordered in a cold voice from the sofa opposite her, with her eyes lowered. "You won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't finish it..." The little girl, having learned Alice's ferocity, didn't dare to resist. She drank slowly, one sip after another. When she was halfway through, she finally couldn't hold it in and cried out infeel wronged, "Auntie, it's really hard to drink."
"Aunt?"?
Although Alice has lived for hundreds of years and her age could be considered as her ancestor, her appearance is very young, looking like she is in her twenties.
No woman likes to be called "auntie", and Alice is no exception. She shamelessly asked her to change her address to "call me sister."
"Ah..." "If you don't bark, get out of here." Alice was very unreasonable.
The little girl was embarrassed for a long time before whispering, "Sister."
Chapter 3 "Do You Remember Your Name?" After Evie finished drinking, Alice took her to take a shower. There were no clothes for children in the house, so they only found a longer sweater and asked her to put it on herself.
The child was trying to pull the long sweater over her head. Upon hearing this, she thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I remember. My name is Ai Wei."
"Hmm." Alice responded without much emotion. After being tossed around for a long time, she wanted to rest. Pointing to the room opposite, she said, "You sleep there. Don't bother me if there's nothing important at night." Alice walked to her own room, but the child grabbed her pants. Alice looked down at her with an impatient expression and asked, "What are you doing?" The child summoned up her courage and said softly, "Sister, do you know my family? Will you take me home?"
Alice smiled warmly and gently, "I am your family."
"You're not!" the little girl exclaimed. "You're a bad woman. You don't want to take me home. You're a bad person!" As she said, she pummeled Alice's thigh with her fists.
Alice was too lazy to deal with the child's emotions. She just found it annoying. Gently stroking her head, she remained expressionless and said, "If you keep making noise, I'll really strangle you to death."
The little girl's face turned pale.
Alice was satisfied with her reaction and pointed to the room across from them, "Get to bed."
The little girl finally believed that Alice wouldn't take her home. Her eyes glared at Alice angrily, her little fists clenched tightly, and she turned around angrily and went into her own room.
Alice lay on the bed and looked at her hands. They had been ice-cold before, but after drinking a few drops of Evie's blood, the temperature of her palms suddenly became warm, and the dizziness in her head subsided a lot.
The blood of this child is indeed effective.
In the middle of the night, thunder roared and lightning flashed.
A scream came from the room across the hall. The sound insulation in the house was not very good, and Alice was suddenly awakened.
Cries and screams came from the room across the hall, sounding eerie and eerie in the middle of the night with thunder rumbling. Alice was awakened, her mood at an all-time low. She got out of bed and kicked the door open with one foot.
"What a bloody noise!"
Alice turned on the light, and there in the corner, shivering, was Evie, muttering something like, "Don't... Don't catch me, save me." What nonsense was she saying?"
Alice pulled up and asked, "Are you still going to sleep?"
The child was trembling with anxiety. As soon as she saw someone, regardless of who it was, she instinctively hugged her and said with a trembling voice, "Sister, I'm scared." "What's there to be scared of?" Alice pulled her hand down, grabbed her by the collar, and threw her onto the bed. "I don't eat people. Go to sleep and don't make any noise!" Just as she was about to leave, Evie quickly hugged her waist and cried, "No, Sister, I don't want to sleep alone. I'm scared..." Alice was simply at a loss. How did she end up with this thing?
"Sleep by yourself, don't bother me!" Alice ignored her.
The little girl clung tightly to her waist. Although she couldn't remember many things, the fear of something in her memory remained unforgotten. She had a vague feeling that it was also on such a dark night that some bad uncles seemed to have caught her.
Evie couldn't remember who those people were. She was just scared. She was only a seven-year-old child who had always been pampered and spoiled. Deep down, she was still weak.
Alice rubbed her forehead as if she had a headache and said in a deep voice, "I'm so annoyed. Get over here!"
Ai Wei followed her obediently to Alice's room. Alice pointed at her and said, "If you cry again, get lost and sleep in your room." Alice lifted the quilt and lay down inside. The little girl carefully lay down and looked at the long hair on Alice's back. It seemed to have a faint fragrance. Ai Wei couldn't tell what the scent was, but she just thought it smelled nice.
Finally, there is someone by her side. Although she is considered a bad woman, at least she is not afraid anymore.
I had a dreamless night.
The next morning, Alice slept until ten o'clock. She had a habit of staying in bed, and would never get up unless she had something to do.
Evie, a child who had fallen into the water, was full of energy. She woke up early and went to the toilet first.
After using the toilet, I realized I was very hungry, but I didn't have the courage to wake Alice up directly. So, I lay down at the bedside, blinking my big eyes, hoping she would wake up soon.
Alice was sleeping soundly, showing no sign of waking up. The little girl curled her lips, feeling a bit unhappy.
"Dong, dong, dong——" Someone knocked on the door of the courtyard.
Alice turned over impatiently. The knocking continued. She tutted and opened her eyes reluctantly. At a glance, she saw Evie lying at the bedside. She furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "What are you doing awake?"
"Sister, someone is knocking at the door," whispered Evie.
Alice pointed a finger at her and said, "You, go and open the door."
"Oh." The little girl obediently went to open the door.
It was Aunt Lin who knocked on the door, holding a bowl covered with a lid in her hand. Seeing Evie opening the door, she smiled kindly and said, "Are you the little girl from yesterday?" Evie nodded and politely said, "Hello, Grandma."
"Hey, hello," Aunt Lin smiled. "This little girl is gorgeous. Come, here are some steamed buns made by Grandma. You can take them and eat." Evie hurriedly broke off her hand and held them, smiling sweetly. "Thank you, Grandma."
Mrs. Lin felt a little more fond of the little girl. She looked inside and muttered to herself, "Alice must have been sleeping in again." Mrs. Lin was driving the cart and didn't have time to go in. She asked Evie to remember to tell Alice to eat.
Evie thought to herself, "I'm not going to give it to her."
However, the truth is that she also didn't dare to eat alone. She carried the bowl into the room, where Alice sat on the bed, staring at the tablet. She glanced up at her and then looked away. "Did a grandma give it to you?"
Evie nodded, placed the bowl on the table, and swallowed nervously. "Are you eating, sister?"
Alice glanced at her, seeing her face filled with a look of being about to be overwhelmed by desire, yet also a small expression of not daring to eat. She snickered and said, "You eat it yourself." The little girl didn't believe her, "Re-really?"
Alice put down the tablet and said, "Eat if I tell you to, don't talk so much nonsense."
The little girl took a steamed bun with a relieved heart and ate it greedily.
Alice got out of bed and washed up. Her hair was very long, and she was too lazy to tie it up, so it just hung loose. She took a turtleneck sweater from the closet and put it on.
Evie ate a little too fast and choked, and tears even came out of her nose. Alice gave her a look like she was an i***t and handed her a bottle of milk, saying, "So stupid."
