Chapter 192 Sunny to Cloudy
"Does it hurt?" Zhong Huanli looked at her anxiously and carefully applied the ointment she had just bought.
Qiao Xiao slowly shook her head, looked at him calmly, and said, "Brother, I feel that Lu Zi will not let me go. I feel that I can't stay here any longer."
"She's insane!"
Qiao Xiao was taken aback by Zhong Huanli's choice of words. He rarely used the word "madman" to insult women, and even less so men.
"Brother, why are there so many bad people around me? I really don't understand."
Upon hearing Qiao Xiao's words, Zhong Huanli nodded in bewilderment. He looked at Qiao Xiao with complicated eyes, as if apologizing to her. This was an evil world, and all the protagonists were born with bad luck, let alone Qiao Xiao, who was difficult to defeat and absorbed the world's fortune.
The stronger she becomes, the more unfair things she faces.
"No, you still have me and your father. We will protect you. Oh, and Asdor too."
Upon hearing Asdor, Qiao Xiao's expression changed immediately. "It? It completely ignores me. I can't get close to it at all. Why do you care about it so much, brother?"
"Because I always feel that it can protect you."
"But I think it's very difficult to deal with. It's too arrogant. It only becomes gentle when it's with you. It's loyal to its master."
"No, after all, you named it."
"Then, bro, I'll walk it with you from now on."
"it is good."
After helping Qiao Xiao apply the ointment, the two found a public table and chairs in a park to eat.
Qiao Xiao asked, "Brother, why are you here so early at noon? Isn't your school far from me?"
"Yes, I lied to my homeroom teacher and said there was a problem at home, so he let me go home at noon. That's why he let me go early."
"Will that affect your class? It's almost 1 o'clock. Didn't you have your afternoon practice at 1:30? You won't have enough time. Go back as soon as you finish eating, bro."
Zhong Huanli glanced at her and said, "There's no need to rush. I don't need to do those questions. I have my own practice questions. Just do your own set. That's allowed by the teacher."
"Brother, you're amazing! I wish I were as smart as you. I've never experienced what it feels like to be number one."
"It's not that I'm amazing, it's that my physical functions are strong. Even if I had a different body, I wouldn't be like this."
"No, brother, don't think like that. Since God has given you this body, you should enjoy it properly. Otherwise, it would be a waste. If you didn't exist, I would die of regret. Unfortunately, every body has its time limit."
"Then do you believe in immortality, Xiaoxiao?" Zhong Huanli suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Qiao Xiao seriously.
Qiao Xiao thought for a moment, her chopsticks hovering in mid-air. She shook her head and said, "Immortality? I haven't thought about that. I always feel that immortal people are a little different."
Zhong Huanli leaned forward slightly and asked, "What do you notice that's different?"
Qiao Xiao looked directly into his eyes and said, "It must be very lonely. After all, everyone around you will grow old, while immortals will always stay young. Their eyes may be very deep, like... like you, brother, deep and even with a hint of loneliness."
After listening to Qiao Xiao's words, Zhong Huanli slowly said after a while, "Loneliness, are you talking about my eyes?"
Qiao Xiao didn't speak, but just looked at him silently, and then nodded.
A smile appeared on Zhong Huanli's lips. He said, "I'm so lonely, so, Xiaoxiao, you have to stay with me and ease my loneliness."
Qiao Xiao chuckled and said, "But brother, we... each have to settle down and start our own families. Don't you want to?"
Zhong Huanli's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "I don't want to."
"Brother, are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious. So, Xiaoxiao, please don't get married, okay? Let's just stay together like this forever."
"But what about Zhong's father? He won't agree." Qiao Xiao said with a worried look, and Zhong Huanli's expression also became somewhat serious.
After a while, Zhong Huanli slowly spoke: "I will find a way to get Father's approval. It's getting late, Xiaoxiao, let me take you to school."
“Okay, brother.” Qiao Xiao nodded, and then she and Zhong Huanli tidied up the table together.
The two walked side by side down the road, the sunlight casting long shadows on them. Soon, they arrived near Qiao Xiao's school.
"Brother, let's stop here." Qiao Xiao stopped and said to Zhong Huanli.
"What's wrong? Can't I show up?" Zhong Huanli asked, somewhat puzzled.
Qiao Xiao quickly explained, "Brother, you forgot, there are always a lot of people around you. I'll be affected too, and I don't want to become the center of attention."
Upon hearing this reason, Zhong Huanli frowned deeply and muttered, "This physical appearance is such a burden."
Seeing this, Qiao Xiao quickly comforted her, "How could that be? I really like it."
Upon hearing Qiao Xiao's words, Zhong Huanli's expression softened slightly. He smiled and said to Qiao Xiao, "Alright, go on your way, don't be late."
Qiao Xiao waved to Zhong Huanli, then turned and walked into the school.
After listening, Zhong Huanli smiled and saw Qiao Xiao off.
The weather during the first period was as bright as it was in the morning.
During the second period, dark clouds rolled in through the window.
By the third period, I could already hear thunder rumbling in my ears.
Inside the classroom, the lights were turned on one by one, dispelling the gloom brought on by the darkening sky.
This sudden downpour, in an unexpected way, quietly captured the students' hearts.
Qiao Xiao sat quietly in her seat, oblivious to everyone around her. Just then, a pen beside her accidentally slipped off the table and rolled right to the corner of it.
There seemed to be something unusual about the pen tip; a dark red stain, like blood, clung to it, making it particularly shocking.
Lu Zi, who was standing next to Qiao Xiao, got up from her chair and walked over to her. But instead of bending down, she looked at Qiao Xiao haughtily and said, "Why aren't you picking it up for me?"
Qiao Xiao couldn't suppress her dissatisfaction and coldly questioned, "Excuse me, Miss, I'm not your servant, and this isn't your home."
Lu Zi: "If you don't pick it up for me, I have the ability to make you homeless again, do you believe me?"
Qiao Xiao's eyes immediately sharpened. She quickly turned to look at Lu Zi, noticing the wound on her hand. Her composure remained unchanged as she asked, "Are you injured?"
"I don't need your concern."
Qiao Xiao looked at her books again. "I don't understand you, and we don't have that much of a conflict, so why are you doing this?"
Lu Zi: "What do you know! Who would allow someone like you to be around the person they like? Zhong Huanli will be ruined by you sooner or later. You're not normal now, and you were even more abnormal before."
"Tsk." Qiao Xiao interrupted her, "Your voice is so rough, are you adopted?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zi calmed down and said, "Let's go outside and talk, Qiao Xiao."
Qiao Xiao realized that she had lost control of her emotions and shouldn't have said, "Could you have been adopted?" She replied to Lu Zi, "Yes."
