Volume 2 Chapter 128 - How about giving up (1/2)

Volume 2 Time passed and December came.

The winds from the north became even colder. Even if the young researchers of the magic research facility were lively, they hid in the lab to honestly do their research in this weather and weren’t as lively as before.

Evita’s physique wasn’t that good, so she was more sensitive to cold compared to normal people. At a time like this, she naturally tightly closed all the doors and windows to her lab, not letting a single cool breeze blow in.

Feeling the warm current coming from the Magic Air Conditioner, Evita rubbed her hands as she couldn’t help feeling grateful towards Xu Yi.

If it wasn’t for Xu Yi inventing the Variable Temperature Magic Air Conditioner and installing one in every lab of the magic research facility before winter, Evia would be enduring the same cold as last year.

Although she could use a fire to fight off the cold, this made the air of the lab very bad, so Evita always hated doing this.

Of course, there was another method that wouldn’t affect the air quality which was a large scale Flame Array.

However it cost at least a hundred gold coins to build this array and adding in the monthly costs of thirty gold coins, even with how generous Xu Yi was, he wouldn’t put one in every lab.

But thinking about it, Evita didn’t feel that certain.

According to her understanding of Xu Yi, he was a chairman who cared about his workers.

Back in Anvilmar City, he had fully demonstrated this through the Aleri matter.

If it was the chairman of any other company, it would be good if they gave Aleri some money, but Xu Yi had actually made Anke Eren come apologize to Aleri.

The researchers had all been shocked at that time because they were clear on Anke Eren’s identity and they were clear on how arrogant of a person he was.

Xu Yi could make him bow his head and apologize in front of all these people, this really surprised everyone.

Because of this matter, Xu Yi’s image in the hearts of the researchers became even greater.

In the minds of many researchers, he even became their idol.

However, Evita’s views were different from many people.

Her first thought was that Xu Yi must have paid quite a bit to accomplish this.

If she was Aleri, she definitely wouldn’t ask Xu Yi to do this for her because she didn’t want Xu Yi to pay any price for her.

But in that situation, of course it was impossible for her to say those words and she could only keep them in her heart.

But feeling the warm wind from the Magic Air Conditioner and Evita thought of Xu Yi, she suddenly thought of a question.

“Actually…..why would I think of this?”

When Evita was about to reach the real answer that her heart wasn’t willing to acknowledge, there were knocks that sounded on the door.

Evita was stunned and woke up from her distraction. Thinking of the strange things that she was thinking about, her face couldn’t help turning red. After calming her thoughts, she opened the door that was locked from the inside.

When the door opened, there was a guest that was unexpected to Evita outside.

“Still? Why are you here?” Evita moved aside and invited the tightly wrapped Still in.

“I was bored and I remembered that I never checked in here, so I ran here to take a look.” Still took the hot tea that Evita handed over and carefully took a sip before letting out a sigh, “This damn weather, it really is freezing me to death.”

Evita revealed a smile and sat down in front of Still as she said, “I already dismissed you, it doesn’t matter if you don’t report in.”

Still was stunned before reaching out to pinch Evita’s nose. She said with a smile, “Alright, Evita, you have quite the power now that you’re the chief? You actually dare dismiss me? Do you believe that I can make Xu Yi dismiss you as the chief?”

Evita gave a soft snort, “Then go ahead and see if he’s willing to dismiss me.”

When this was said, both of them were stunned.

Still looked at Evita for a while and couldn’t help saying, “I’ve realized that Akali and Bella have had a bad effect on you, you all like playing jokes on Xu Yi.”

Evita’s face turned a bit red as she pretended to lower her head to sip her tea. She said in a low voice, “Bella shouldn’t be like that now, but Akali……”

Hearing the pity in Evita’s voice, Still was stunned as a complicated expression appeared in her face. After a period of silence, she said with a soft sigh, “Actually I can see it, but…..I can’t just give Xu Yi to her, right?”

Evita quickly shook her head and said, “No, I didn’t mean this. Still, you and Xu Yi both like each other, that is a very happy thing. You must cherish it and can’t let go of it easily. Even if…..even if Akali is our good friend, this is something that you should be selfish with.”

Still revealed a faint smile. She looked at the somewhat dark sky outside and suddenly gave a sigh, “It’s a pity that even though I’m not willing to give up, I’m worried that I can’t hold it…..”

Evita was stunned as she asked, “What is it? Could it be that something has happened between you and Xu Yi? Haven’t you been well lately?”

“No, there’s no problem right now, only…..” Still slightly knit her brows and looked a bit worried, “I just suddenly feel that he doesn’t seem to care about me that much…..”

Evita asked with a frown, “Why would you suddenly think this? Did something really happen?”

Still seemed to lose that dazzling glow of hers and it seemed like her confidence had also disappeared.
