Chapter 4 Fables

Dora has no way to help Yara realize her wish of trying all the delicacies in the world for the time being, but she does help Yara fulfill part of her wish of seeing all the handsome men in the world in a strange way.

Stepping into Venice’s university district, Yara seemed to have entered a whole new world.

Every college here is like a treasure house containing endless treasures, and the talented people from different colleges are the most dazzling pearls among these treasures.

Their appearance made Yara's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart.

These talented people are not only talented, but also have stunning looks.

They have broad shoulders, slim waists and long legs, and every movement they make reveals a beauty that combines elegance and strength.

Coupled with the angular facial features unique to Westerners, Yara felt that she had recently enjoyed a feast in terms of "beauty".

Whenever Dora was studying hard in the classroom, Yara would always look around quietly, looking for those figures that made her heart beat.

Sometimes, she would see a handsome man concentrating on reading in the corner of the library; sometimes, she would meet a financial elite busy on his laptop by the window of a cafe.

Every chance encounter makes Yara's heart beat faster, as if she has found new fun.

These handsome guys are just passers-by in her life, and they may never have any intersection with each other. But she still feels satisfied, because in this new world, she can enjoy so many faces that make her heart beat without any pressure.

Dora couldn't help but laugh at Yara's excitement. She knew that Yara was such a person who was easily satisfied and happy.

She also began to pay attention to those handsome guys and occasionally shared her discoveries with Yara.

On the weekend, Dora agreed to accompany Yara to English class out of a sense of apology.

After all, it is indeed a big challenge for Yara to learn English in an environment where Italian is the mainstream language.

However, sometimes, only by stepping out of your comfort zone can you reap unexpected surprises.

The atmosphere in the classroom was relaxed and pleasant, with students sitting or standing, freely exchanging ideas with each other.

The learning progress here is indeed slower than that in China, and it focuses more on practical and oral training. This is undoubtedly an excellent learning opportunity for Yara, who considers herself a "bad student" in China.

During the break, the girls naturally gathered together and the topic quickly turned to handsome guys.

No matter where they are, girls share the same love and curiosity for handsome guys. This resonance across culture and language makes it easy for girls to get along well.

"Do you know? The boys in the art academy next door are all talented and look great!" A light blonde girl said to Yara excitedly.

Yara's eyes lit up, as if she could already see those handsome boys waving at her from a distance. She smiled and replied, "Really? Then I have to go and take a look!"

Dora looked quietly at Yara's expectant face and breathed a sigh of relief.

She chose this English class for Yara not only to improve her language skills, but more importantly to help her gradually integrate into the rhythm of normal life and let the bloody memories of the end of the world slowly fade away.

Dora often worries that she can't always be by Yara's side. What if one day Yara needs to face the world alone and pursue her own happiness?

Therefore, she hopes that Yara can learn to be independent and learn to live bravely even when she is not around.

This English class is the starting point for Yara to become independent.

Just as Dora was immersed in her thoughts, Yara seemed to sense what she was thinking. She suddenly stretched out her hand and held Dora's hand tightly.

At that moment, Dora felt the warmth and slight trembling in Yara's palm, which was a reflection of her inner uneasiness and dependence.

There was a hint of uncertainty and confusion in Yara's eyes, as if she was confirming whether Dora was still around.

She held Yara's hand tightly, conveying her strength and warmth to her, and then teased, "Oh, are they all broad shoulders, thin waists, and long legs? Oh, without abdominal muscles, it won't work."

"Dora, you just tease me." Yara hit Dora lightly, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone. Then, she hurriedly defended herself: "I just have a good mouth, so I won't be fooled by them!"

The girls nearby couldn't help laughing after hearing the conversation between Dora and Yara. They teased, "Are you two a perfect couple? I see you guys holding hands all the time. Your relationship is so good that it's enviable."

Their words were full of kindness and curiosity, and clearly contained no ill intentions.

The girls' eyes moved back and forth between Dora and Yara, as if they suddenly realized at this moment how beautiful they were.

Yara is tall, sexy and full of energy, while Dora is petite, weak and gentle. The two of them, one active and one quiet, form a sharp contrast, but they also blend in an inexplicable harmony.

Such a combination makes people want to take a few more glances.

Faced with the girls' teasing and curiosity, Dora and Yara smiled at each other.

They know what this friendship means to them. It transcends gender and identity. They are partners who can be trusted with life and death.

"We are partners and family," Dora responded with a smile.

There was a hint of playfulness and intimacy in her voice, as if telling everyone that the friendship between her and Yara was so pure and beautiful.

Yara nodded gently, a happy smile on her face. "We are half-sisters."

The girls laughed and started talking about the handsome guy again.

"Speaking of handsome guys, Mia from our class has met her true love. I once saw her from afar, and her figure was wow." Carmen had a dreamy look in her eyes, making everyone laugh.

Afraid that no one would believe her, Carmen emphasized, "Really? He's definitely Prince Charming. That handmade suit alone is worth two years' worth of my part-time job salary."

"Mia seems to have not been to class for several days. Could she be spending a wonderful vacation with a handsome guy?"

Yara responded in a supportive manner. She had some impression of Mia, a girl who worked in the dessert shop she often went to.

She and Dora looked at each other, and the latter nodded and agreed: "She hasn't been to the dessert shop these days."

"Before, Mia secretly told me that her boyfriend wanted to play a game of hide-and-seek with her. If she wins, they can be together forever."

Carmen's voice was a little mysterious, as if she was telling a fairy tale. After hearing it, the girls around her all showed envy on their faces and talked about Mia's good luck.

However, Thea and Dora just smiled faintly and made no comment.

Years of fighting and slaughter had taught them caution and composure. There was no such thing as unprovoked good luck in this world; if there was, it often came with an unknown price.

The girls around them were still excitedly discussing Mia's "good luck", but the two of them had silently changed the subject.

Today in English class, it was Yara's turn to tell stories in English. That was why she invited Dora to come to class.

She hoped that Dora would see her learning results and that she had not been lazy. She was always afraid that she would be left behind by Dora and hoped that she could catch up with Dora.

Yara, with her fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, stood quietly on the podium like a Greek goddess walking out of an oil painting.

She doesn't need any words. Her outstanding appearance and temperament alone are enough to make her a beautiful scenery that attracts everyone's attention.

The classroom was completely silent, and all the students stared at the girl with bated breath, as if even their breathing had become cautious, for fear of disturbing this beautiful scene.

Yara's voice was a little nervous, and the slightly trembling tone seemed to add a unique charm to her.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more stable: "Hello everyone, I am Yara. I am very happy to be here today. The story I want to tell you today is "The Daughter of the Sea"

The students were all attracted by Yara (the story), and at the end, there was warm applause in the classroom.

Yara stood on the podium, feeling all kinds of gazes from the people around her, some admiring, some envious, and naturally some jealous.

At this time, a blonde girl named Tia challenged Yara in English, "In the romantic story of The Daughter of the Sea, Yara, do you want to be the princess or the mermaid?"

This question was obviously provocative, trying to test Yara's reaction.

However, Yara's English was not good enough for her to perfectly respond to such a meaningful question. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and her fingers rubbed subconsciously.

Yara secretly reminded herself that this is a society ruled by law, and she cannot use "violent means" to solve problems in public.

Dora naturally would not ignore it. She tapped her lips lightly, and her silver bell-like laughter rang out in the classroom, cleverly diverting everyone's attention and rescuing Yara in her unique way.

"Romantic? I think this story is thrilling and also very educational." Dora's voice was clear and pleasant, but with a subtle sharpness.

“Love is a beacon, not a cage. Be the one who holds the torch and guards the flame of your heart. Let your radiance shine brighter than the illusion of bubbles.”

She looked at the girls in the class, word by word, as if she was telling them an ancient and profound truth.

At this moment, all the boys in the class noticed that there was another girl in the class who was completely different from Yara in beauty - Dora. Her beauty was gentle and delicate, like a spring breeze that caressed the face and penetrated the heart.

Dora tapped the table with her fingers and quipped lightly, "This is clearly a horror fable that tells us a profound truth: those who are love-sick will not die a good death."

On their way home, Dora and Thea visited the dessert shop again. As they expected, Mia was not there.

Dora looked out the window at the sun setting in the west. The darkness in the sky was ruthlessly swallowing up the last ray of sunlight. She had a bad premonition about Mia's fate.

"Mia may not know the deeper meaning behind this 'hide and seek game'." Dora whispered to Yara, her eyes revealing a hint of understanding and helplessness.

She knew that a simple and kind girl like Mia could easily fall into the trap woven by love, and once she lost her mind, the consequences would often be disastrous.

Yara nodded, her expression equally solemn:

"We can only hope that Mia won't pay too heavy a price for her impulsiveness and recklessness. But honestly, what can we do? Everyone has their own path to walk, and everyone needs to bear the consequences of their own choices."

"Reality is always like this. Sometimes we are powerless and can only respect other people's choices and accept their fate." Dora said softly, her gentle voice carrying a hint of coolness in the quiet of the night.

The two looked at each other in silence, and silently prayed for Mia for one minute in their hearts.

When faced with a love trap, not to mention a simple girl like Mia, even a strong man who has experienced countless life and death tests will lose his former rationality and judgment.

All they have to do is "respect the fate of others and let go of the desire to help others."
