Deep Sea Embers Chapter 198: Alice’s first day in the world

Duncan was a bit horrified by the doll's straight eyes, and after a few seconds of fixation, he finally couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Alice is honest: "Look at you."

Duncan looked confused: "What do I have to look at?"

"It's the first time I saw you talking like this," Alice looked incredulous, "although you said before that you have another body and identity here, it still feels good to see it. It's unbelievable! Captain, you look completely different from what you were on the boat, not so tall, not so gloomy, um...you look like a good person..."

Duncan's eyes widened when he heard this, but before he could speak to Alice, he hurriedly added: "Ah, I shouldn't slander you, Captain..."

"How many times have I said that don't learn anything from that goat head! Complimenting someone else as a good person is not a slander -- complimenting me is the same!" Duncan stared at the idiot in front of him, feeling his brain trembling, "And forget about it. How did I remind you? You can't call 'Captain' on the city-state side, you have to call Mr. Duncan or Mr. Store Manager, remember?"

Alice shrank her head suddenly: "Ah... hey! Remember the boat... Mr. Manager!"

"...Why don't you just call Mr. Duncan directly," Duncan sighed wearily. "At least you are familiar with this name, so the probability of calling it wrong is relatively low."

"Oh, good Mr. Duncan." Alice hurriedly bowed her head to agree, only to hear Duncan reluctantly reminding: "Don't bow your head, your head will fall - if you drop your head in front of everyone's eyes Come down, and your city-state journey is over."

Alice snorted, then frowned and thought for a while: "I seem to have heard Ai Yindi murmur a sentence similar to what you said just now, that's not what it said... It said don't bow your head, The Crown will..."

"Do you have a crown on your head?!" Duncan stared, "You have a wig on your head - it's stronger than your head!"

Alice thought for a while: "Hey..."

Then she was quiet for less than two seconds, then suddenly began to stare at Duncan again, this time saying it herself before the latter could speak: "Captain... can I touch your face?"

Duncan looked puzzled: "I don't mind, but why?"

Alice had already started when she heard the word "don't mind". It seemed that after leaving Captain Duncan's majestic "body", the doll's courage had grown unprecedentedly, and she stepped forward to squeeze it. Looking at the cheeks of Duncan's current body, his eyes were full of surprise: "It's amazing! It's true! When I saw your face on the boat, it felt like it was carved out of stone!"

Duncan felt extremely uncomfortable, and he said helplessly while dodging back: "Are you enough? It's almost..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard two brisk footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs, followed by Nina's crisp and pleasant voice: "Uncle, I have finished dinner with Shirley! You What are you doing down here..."

Duncan turned his head blankly, Alice's hand still held out, Nina stood at the second floor stairs, staring at the scene beside the counter, looking at the man who appeared in the shop at some point In the middle, the elegant and beautiful lady who looked like a noble lady in the upper city, Shirley almost bumped her head on Nina: "Hey, why did you stop suddenly?"

Alice shuddered her hands back, folded her hands on her lap, and sat dignifiedly in front of the counter with her upper body upright.

The board is upright like a gorgeous doll placed in the window of the Rose Doll.

Nina was stunned for a while before she could react. While walking down the stairs hesitantly, she carefully looked at the beautiful lady sitting opposite Duncan. Shirley, who was following her, also saw the situation on the first floor at this time. , but Shirley was thinking of something else entirely—

"A dog, dog, look, what is that sitting across from Mr. Duncan... is that a person? Can you beat him?"

Agou's voice was hesitant for a long time before it came, and it sounded extra cautious: "I can't see clearly through your eyes, but the more I look, the less human... I don't know if I can beat it, anyway, I definitely don't Fight her."

Xue Li was taken aback: "Why? You can't even see what it is, why are you so afraid?"

"Bullshit! She dares to pinch Mr. Duncan's face!" Agou's voice sounded deadly, "Just rush here, if she wants to stew me, I have to take the initiative to get rid of firewood..."

"...Agou, you are getting more and more embarrassed."

"This is called judging the situation - do you know how many human beings have spent their entire lives in order to grasp the essence of survival?"

Shirley ignores the dog.

While they were talking, she and Nina had come to the first floor, she saw Nina walking up to Duncan and the beautiful young lady, and heard their conversation.

"Uncle, who is this lady?"

Nina asked curiously, and subconsciously looked at Alice beside her, with surprise and speculation in her heart - she had never seen such a beautiful lady, and she had never seen a young lady with her uncle There will be a close movement like just now, and her eyes will light up slightly due to her intense curiosity.

"Oh, just to introduce," Duncan coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment just now, and then raised his finger with a sullen face, "Her name is Alice, remember I said before that she would be in the store again. Are you calling someone? It's her."

After he finished speaking, he immediately pointed to Nina and Shirley: "This is my niece, Nina, and this is Shirley who is temporarily staying here for a while."

"Hello." Alice immediately took the initiative to say hello. This time, she kept Duncan's explanation in mind. She sat upright, nodded her head just right, restrained her escaping attitude, and greeted people in the most polite way.

But I don't know if there is a certain "texture" unique to the doll that is difficult to erase. Alice's restrained gesture fell into the eyes of Nina and Shirley, but it became an indescribably elegant education. And a certain mysterious introverted temperament.

The first meeting of two girls with a Hanhan doll leads to an epic misunderstanding.

"You... hello," Nina swallowed nervously and nodded to Alice as if she was afraid of making a bad impression. "Nice to meet you."

Xue Li also followed to say hello. She was also a little nervous, but her nervousness came more from what Agou said just now, "Hello, I am also... very happy."

Then the scene froze, faces sullen on both sides, and no one spoke.

Shirley and Nina didn't know how to continue, the beautiful and elegant lady in front of them didn't look like a character that would appear in the downtown area, so that the two girls felt that no matter what they said, they would make this woman Miss Alice was displeased.

Alice is even simpler - her mind is mostly empty.

Sometimes it fills the lake.

Fortunately, Duncan had anticipated this situation for a long time. Seeing that both sides were in the cold at the same time, he knew what was going on, and immediately broke the silence with a light cough: "Cough, Shirley, how is your injury?"

"The injury... oh! The injury is completely healed!" Xue Li was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and quickly stood up straight and answered Duncan's question as if she was giving a report, "And I ate a lot just now, and now I don't even have any. Not hungry!"

"I didn't ask you this...but it's good if you like today's meal," Duncan nodded with a smile, "Take care of your body these two days, and I'll make some nutritious things to restore your energy. Nina, do you have any plans for today?"

"I'm going to take Shirley to the store next door right now," Nina said immediately. "Buy her two new clothes, and new shoes—her clothes are old."

Speaking of this, she turned to look at Shirley, and before the other party spoke, she emphasized: "This is a welcome gift for you, and it is impolite not to accept it."

"I..." Shirley opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a while, and finally nodded, "Well, thank you in advance... and Mr. Duncan."

Duncan nodded with a smile on his face: "Then don't go too far, come back before evening - Shirley, you have to protect Nina."

Shirley straightened up immediately, and Nina was startled by her loud voice: "Yes, Mr. Duncan!"

Then the two girls said goodbye to Duncan and Alice, and walked towards the gate as company, while Nina was still muttering, "What are you doing so loudly just now, you startled me... Uncle? My uncle is not scary."

"I...I'm polite, I'm learning politeness lately..."

A smile appeared on Duncan's face as he heard the murmurs of the two girls walking away, then he turned to see Alice staring straight at him again.

"What are you staring at me again?"

"Mr. Duncan...you are very different here from being on a boat," Alice looked at Duncan very seriously and looked up and down before saying ~IndoMTL.com~ much more cordial than being on a boat! "

"Okay, don't feel sorry for this," Duncan smiled helplessly, of course he knew why Alice felt this way - even he himself knew that he was actually tense on the boat Of course, even if he relaxes a bit recently, it's not as free and easy as coming from the city-state, but he didn't waste his time on this matter, but quickly turned the topic to another place, "Tell me about you first. It's a matter of fact - you don't have a legal status, so it's best not to go to the uptown to attract attention. During this time, help in the antique store first, on the one hand, to adapt to the environment, on the other hand, you can also help me do something, usually When I go out, you stay at the counter, and when the customer arrives... wait, I suddenly have a problem!"

Duncan stopped suddenly and stared at the doll in front of him with a strange expression. It took a few seconds before he hesitated: "Do you... know money?"

Alice's face is full of curiosity: "What is money?"

Duncan: "..."
