Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 850 - 47 Thinking of Harmonizing Tilan_2

No, Tilan shook her head again, the matter is not so simple. If Ores suddenly becomes gentle and understanding towards Shui Yanqing, Shui Yanqing might not feel happy, because it is easy for her to interpret it as condescension, pity, and sympathy from someone above her.

On the contrary, because of Ores's gentleness, Shui Yanqing would lose the justification to express aggression, which makes her morally inferior, and that would torment her even more.

During the relatively quiet lunchtime for the four, Tilan appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was busy calculating and simulating various situations and possibilities. If Ores and Shui Yanqing knew what Tilan was thinking, they would probably be amazed at this young girl's deep understanding of their personalities and inner thoughts, even to the extent that they themselves might not be aware of some of their reactions.

As lunch slowly came to an end, and Tilan ate the last stalk of parsley, her plate was now empty, and she also had some thoughts.

To have the two of them stop quarreling entirely and live in harmony was probably impossible, but occasional bickering does not necessarily mean their relationship was bad. They just needed a way to vent and to express their true feelings.

The problem was to prevent this bickering from actually hurting each other's self-esteem and causing deep emotional pain, and even to make it somewhat candid and fun.

The current status needed to be changed, and perhaps starting with Ores was easier. Change her first, then gradually guide Shui Yanqing. Actually, Shui Yanqing was also the type of girl who was good at interpersonal relationships. As long as Ores didn't provoke her, she would gradually stabilize.

But this stability also needed to be coupled with a certain level of candor and sincerity, otherwise Ores would feel the imbalance in her heart, "I'm accommodating you, and you keep up this pretense?" Then Ores would give up and revert to past provocations because she dislikes Shui Yanqing's inconsistency between words and heart.

No matter the outcome, it was still worth a try, Tilan made up her mind.

"We've finished eating, and there's still time before the afternoon practice. How about we take a walk?" It was rare for Tilan to take the initiative, usually, it was Ores and Shui Yanqing who made decisions among the four.

"Hmm." Shui Yanqing had no objections.

"Sure, let's look around." Blanchi was excited.

"I'll follow Tilan." Ores simply expressed her support for Tilan.

Thus, the four got up and left the dining area.

"The map shows that there is an artificial botanical garden on the 12th floor, and the environment there is very nice." Tilan said, displaying the projected image from her personal terminal.

The other three agreed, preferring to take a walk rather than return to the room for more tedious practice.

The four took the elevator up, headed for the artificial botanical garden, occasionally encountering passing staff and cleaning Autonomous Units. Upon reaching the door of the botanical garden, they simply swiped their identity chips and the door opened.

"The current landscape and flora in the botanical garden are still under construction and cultivation and do not represent the final quality. If there are areas that are not fully filled, please understand."

A staff member nearby gave a simple explanation to the four, probably mistaking the group of girls for guests testing out the hotel. Before the hotel's official opening, they would have many people stay over to test out and identify issues. These could include managers or bosses' friends, some partner personnel, and internal company staff, among others.

Entering the botanical garden, the sunlight lamps overhead were like a realistic Sun, making the interior especially warm. In this space separated by glass rooms, various trees and plants were growing, many of them quite special, with leaves and blooming flowers that were extraordinarily vivid and dense.

"This here is Zhu Jin, and because its leaves resemble mulberry leaves, it is also known as the 'Fusang Flower'."

Approaching a glass room that hosted many vibrantly colorful flowers, with petals ranging from light pink, bright red, bright yellow to pinkish white. The colors near the center of the petals, closer to the pistil, were darker, lightening towards the edges, with the very tips showing delicate white, creating a striking beauty.

"There's another name for it?" Ores was familiar with this type of flower, but she was not aware of the alternative name.

"Yes, because these flowers are especially beautiful when in full bloom, resembling flames, the ancients believed that the place where they bloomed was where the Sun rose. They even said there was a 'Fusang Tree' there, with ten Sun birds perched on it," Tilan recounted the ancient legend from The East.

"Because they are particularly attractive, in ancient times, it was said that people would pick them and wear them in their hairpins. The flower hairpin that Jian Xin'er gave us originated from this practice."

"So there's that connection."

"Yes, but that's a very old history, nowadays it's basically not used anymore." Tilan explained.

As she led the three through the botanical garden, some of the plants were familiar to Tilan, and some were better known by Ores. Shui Yanqing occasionally added some comments. Slowly, the conversation among the four returned to normal.

"The flowers over here seem quite rare." Blanchi pointed to a few white flowers in a corner, with an unusual appearance, petals some upright, some hanging, spread widely, and a milky white color.

"This is..." Tilan searched for a label and finally found it tucked away in a corner.

"White Phalaenopsis, a fairly rare orchid." The orchid family has many variations, and this was Tilan's first encounter with this kind.

"I read in the information that this orchid only grows in Secluded Valley deep in the mountains." Blanchi flipped through the data she had just found.

"Orchids are quite delicate; they can only grow in stable and moist climates found in deep mountain valleys." Tilan commented on some cultures' excessive glorification of orchids, which had also influenced her own perceptions.
