Chapter 52 Helena’s gift, and... Her Royal Highness the Princess?
On a sunny afternoon, Helena held Luo Wei's hand and came to the bench next to the school garden.
Helena has returned to her original appearance, but she is still wearing the girls' school uniform. She seems to be familiar with Karen University and looks like a student of their school.
"So... what is the reward?" Luo Wei finally asked curiously.
At first I thought she was joking, but now I realize that she seems to really have something to give me.
"Brother, please sit down!" Helena said with a smile.
Luo Wei was sitting on the bench and was about to ask curiously, but Helena covered his eyes.
"Brother, close your eyes first!"
Luo Wei smiled helplessly and closed his eyes.
"Put your hands out!"
Luo Wei also obediently stretched out his hand.
After a moment, he touched a very light, box-shaped object.
The little hand immediately moved away, and Luo Wei saw a pair of nervous and expectant blue eyes.
"This is……"
He looked down and saw that it was a packaging box with a beautiful bow tied on it.
I opened the package out of curiosity and found a dark blue scarf with a plaid pattern lying quietly inside.
He didn't expect Helena to give him such a gift.
Business ties had not yet been invented in this era, so this kind of scarf was quite trendy. It was not one of those exaggerated and complicated aristocratic styles, but something between formal and casual, which was very suitable for her age. I didn't expect Helena to be so picky.
Helena lowered her head. "My brother gave me a gift, although... it's broken..."
"But they say that gifts should be reciprocated!"
"So Helena also wants to give her brother a gift~"
She looked at Luo Wei's expression nervously and expectantly, "Brother... do you like it?"
"Of course I like it!" Luo Wei took out the scarf and put it around his neck. "As long as it's a gift from little Helena, I like it!"
"That's good..." Helena finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Luo Wei's movements, she smiled slightly and put it on him with her own hands.
"Helena doesn't know what her brother likes... Yesterday, when he regained his human form... Helena saw an advertisement for a clothing store on the street..."
"They say this is the latest trend among Saint Karen gentlemen... I don't quite understand what it means, but it should be very good..."
She didn't seem to know how to wear this kind of scarf, so she just wrapped it around Luo Wei's neck and tied it for him simply.
"A lot of women were buying these scarves for their spouses back then!" she smiled and winked. "And Helena thought, 'My brother always wears a simple shirt underneath, and it's so cold...this will keep the draft out!'"
After putting it on her brother, Helena skipped back and looked at it carefully.
Luo Wei tucked the scarf into his coat and showed it to her with a smile, "How is it? Does it look good on me?"
"Looks good!" She nodded, her eyes sparkling, "Brother looks good in anything he wears!"
Luo Wei looked at her.
The afternoon sun spread down, gently touching Helena's cheek. Her smile was clean and clear, and her light golden hair seemed to be glowing.
Such a smile made Luo Wei laugh too.
Although the scene was extremely heartwarming, Luo Wei inexplicably thought of a question that spoiled the mood.
"etc……"
"Where did you get the money to buy it?"
Luo Wei looked at her curiously. Since she had been hiding outside, she must have no money on her...
"Hmm..." Helena was stunned for a moment, "Well, well..."
"And!" Luo Wei looked her up and down at her school uniform. "Tina, what's going on? How did you become a transfer student in my class? You don't even have an identity, how did you become a transfer student?"
Seeing that Helena's eyes were obviously evasive, Luo Wei immediately understood something.
He asked helplessly, "Helena, tell me honestly, where is the original girl who created the image you imitated? Where is she?"
Helena said guiltily: "Oh...you mean Tina...she's fine, and she's not dead..."
Seeing that Luo Wei's expression was becoming more and more serious, Helena explained guiltily.
"Brother, don't look at me like that... She's really fine..."
"only……"
"I just locked her up in her house..."
Luo Wei was about to say something when she quickly looked up.
"But don't worry. To compensate her, I gave her a lot of money. Don't we all like money?... She will definitely forgive me..."
Luo Wei suddenly felt even more helpless. What do you mean by being locked up at home... You have taken away his identity, and I am afraid that you have locked him in the basement again?
But the topic has returned.
"A lot of money? Where did you get so much money?" Luo Wei stared at her suspiciously.
Helena chuckled, "Yesterday, when I was wandering the streets, I saw a well-dressed gentleman going to the bank to withdraw a lot of money. I secretly followed him all the way and asked him to hand over the money, and he handed it over~"
Luo Wei's eyes suddenly widened.
Isn't this robbery?
He didn't think the other party would be so obedient to hand over the money. As for what happened at that time... Luo Wei could imagine it in his mind.
Helena smiled and sat on the bench holding Luo Wei's hand, "It's okay, brother! Helena didn't reveal her true face~ They can't catch me~"
Luo Wei sighed and leaned back on the bench, feeling a headache...
Even though she's been integrated into the human world for so long, I still feel like she's not as law-abiding as Yves...
While the two were chatting, Luo Wei saw Helena suddenly take out a small notebook and start writing and drawing on it with a serious expression.
Luo Wei leaned over curiously, wanting to see what she was doing mysteriously.
As a result, Helena quickly covered the notebook, not wanting him to see it.
"Helena also has a secret..." Luo Wei said softly.
"Brother!" Helena did not continue the topic. She jumped off the bench excitedly.
"You probably don't have classes this afternoon! Let's go shopping!"
"Okay~" Luo Wei agreed without thinking.
Although I have classes in the afternoon.
But who cares.
Helena's transformation back to human form was much faster than he expected, indicating that she had been using those potions continuously. However, an overdose of that stuff was very painful...
She must be looking forward to the days when she can be with him happily after she returns to her original appearance, and Luo Wei certainly doesn't want to disappoint her.
So, skipping classes is nothing!
So, during class time, Luo Wei took Helena's hand and brought her to the busiest street market in the East District.
The streets are bustling with people, colorful flags are flying, the ears are filled with the shouts of various vendors and shop owners, and the air is filled with the aroma of baked food and desserts.
Helena walked excitedly in front, holding Luo Wei's hand, looking around, almost dazzled.
"Brother! Brother, I want to eat this!"
"This one is pretty good too..."
"Brother, look! There's a circus over there!"
Helena could hardly stop smiling, her eyes shining, as if everything here made her feel genuinely happy.
Luo Wei shook his head and laughed. She was much more familiar with the city of Saint Karen than herself, so the things on the street were nothing new to her.
The reason why I am so happy is probably because this is the first time I go shopping with my brother.
But what made Luo Wei a little curious was whether this commercial street was a little too busy today?
He looked up and saw colorful flags hanging outside every shop. The streets were crowded, but occasionally one or two patrol police officers in black coats could be seen.
Even the uncle selling grilled wings in front of me hung a balloon on his simple stall.
Is today a holiday?
Luo Wei finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked the uncle in front of him.
"Excuse me, is today a good day? Why are the streets so busy? Oh, and how much are the grilled wings?"
The uncle looked up at him and said, "I heard that the princess who has been away for many years has returned. His Majesty is so happy that he has exempted us from taxes for a month. So you can see that everyone who can set up a stall has come out to set up a stall. Grilled wings are sixpence, two for tenpence."
Luo Wei was stunned on the spot.
He immediately glanced at Helena, but her eyes were still fixed on the circus performance and she didn't notice here.
So he quickly lowered his voice and whispered:
"Which princess?"
The uncle gave him a puzzled look. "Who else could it be? She's been away recuperating all year, rarely going out. It must be our Fifth Princess!"
Hearing this answer, Luo Wei's heart tightened.
"Ophelia?"
"Shhh!" the uncle quickly lowered his voice, "You little brat, why are you still calling His Highness by his name?"
However, at this moment, Luo Wei had no time to think about these things.
He looked at the bustling streets with colorful flags flying, and his originally happy mood suddenly became inexplicably worried.
This is trouble.
