The little boy in the house, upon hearing this, froze for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
This child he had never met cared about him. Was this what it felt like to be cared for?
His laughter continued to grow, and he clutched his stomach, tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing this, the boy outside the window stared wide-eyed at the boy inside, a look of confusion on his face. Had this child gone mad from being cooped up? He had merely asked a simple question.
He hadn't answered his question, and instead, he was laughing like this?
The boy looked up and asked, "Why are you laughing like that?"
He seems like a big idiot, the boy thought to himself.
Hearing this, the boy in the house wiped his tears, looked outside, and tried to calm his tone. He lowered his head and said, "I'm not imprisoned; I just want to read here by myself."
Realizing he had misunderstood, the child felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed his head. Then he said again, "Oh, oh, oh, but you still haven't answered my question, why were you laughing like that?"
Don't change the subject. Tell me why you were laughing like that just now.
"No reason, I just suddenly felt like laughing," the boy in the house replied calmly, raising an eyebrow at the other boy's persistence.
Hearing this, the boy outside the window looked at him with a "brain-dead" expression. Feeling he hadn't had enough, he glared at him one last time before running home.
He didn't even look back, because his mother had told him.
Never play with idiots.
Bai Chen watched the little boy run off. Although he hadn't had a chance to ask his name, it didn't spoil his good mood.
The corners of his mouth still curved upward, and his eyes followed the retreating figure.
It was the first time someone had cared about him like this.
Even though it was a silly child, it still made him feel warm.
—Time, I've jumped back again~—
"Bai Bai, Bai Bai."
Li Huan saw Bai Chen with that strange smile on his face and quietly withdrew his hand from Bai Chen's sleeve.
He then waved his hand in front of Bai Chen's eyes and said.
What's wrong with this Bai Bai lately? He's spacing out every day. And it's not just spacing out, he's got this weird smile on his face, which looks unsettling no matter how you look at it.
Huh?!
This state, this vacant stare... could he have a girlfriend?!
Thinking of this, Li Huan's eyes widened instantly.
He then looked at Bai Chen with a resentful expression.
We promised, best friends forever, whoever gets a partner first is a dog.
You're leaving me behind to be a dog?!
Alright, there's nothing else to say. You've lost this lively, cute, and handsome childhood friend.
Tch~
After glaring at Bai Chen, he turned his head away and refused to look at him.
He lowered his head and slowly began to count on his fingers, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Bai Chen, who had snapped back to reality about two minutes ago, was inexplicably glared at by Li Huan. A trace of confusion appeared on his handsome face.
What did he do this time? How did he manage to upset him again?
Why was he angry again?
Bai Chen felt a little bit wronged.
But he didn't say anything.
Lin Hao, who had been observing their little drama from the sidelines, watched them with an "auntie-like" smile.
Hahaha, even he could see how wronged that person was, but the other person was completely oblivious.
Brother, your love life is a bit difficult.
This guy is really too naive.
Good luck,
Brother.
After watching them, Lin Hao turned his attention back to Elfa and the others.
Even with the three guild leaders working together, they couldn't defeat this plant. If the plant had a health bar, they probably hadn't even chipped away half of its health.
This plant was truly troublesome.
Does this plant fear nothing except that salted fish?
Huh? Did he just see a black shadow fly over there?
Upon seeing this, Lin Hao glanced at the three guild leaders still fighting and knew who had been thrown.
Without thinking, he quickly walked to the small pit where the black shadow had landed and saw Qin Mohan lying there, covered in blood.
Although he was in a terrible state.
Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This seemed to be the first time he had seen Qin Mohan in such a pathetic state.
Lin Hao searched his memory carefully. Indeed, it was Qin Mohan's first time looking like this. It was a truly peculiar feeling.
Ahem.
Sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince, even though you're in such a sorry state, I can't help it.
Lin Hao cleared his throat, adjusted his expression, and asked with a serious tone, "Crown Prince of the Empire, what happened? Are you alright?"
After speaking, he reached out to help him up, but then he reconsidered.
This person probably didn't like being touched, did he?
He still remembered how, last time he accidentally touched him, he had washed his hands for a long time, as if he had contracted some terrible virus.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Thinking this, Lin Hao prepared to retract his outstretched hand.
It was fortunate that this memory came to him in time. If this person had rejected his hand, and everyone had seen it, wouldn't that be a major social disaster? Didn't he, the Insect King, have any self-respect?
Just as Lin Hao was about to pull his hand back, he saw the corpse, which had seemed completely dead, suddenly come back to life like a zombie and grab his hand.
What's more, the grip was quite painful.
Qin Mohan, who had been fighting the plant, noticed that his little streamer's gaze was not on him.
His expression darkened, and he suddenly thought of something.
His movements slowed down by a beat, and he remained in place for an extra second before being thrown to the ground by the plant.
The immense impact from his fall from a great height created a small pit in the ground.
The shock made his vision go black. In a daze, he thought he saw a figure run over.
Once he clearly recognized the figure, he chuckled inwardly.
He knew his streamer cared about him after all.
When he heard the voice of his beloved streamer caring about him, all his pain disappeared.
He wanted to hear more of her concern, but when he saw her small hand about to withdraw, his mind went blank. He then used all his strength to grab the small hand that was about to be pulled away.
He gripped it tightly, afraid that this hand would disappear from his sight again.
I finally caught you.
It was just as he had imagined, warm and soft.
Mini-theater:
Sigh, after days of hospitalization, IV drips, and medication, I, Guazi, have finally come back to life!
Thank you all for your concern, my little darlings.
Actually, it's nothing serious. I rarely get sick, but when I do, it lasts for days.
There's also something I need to tell you. I'm currently preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. The recruitment plan has also changed, which is really unfriendly to our major. I have to prepare to fight for it.
Therefore, I plan to update irregularly. If any of my darlings mind, you can stop reading my novel.
I won't be sad! (Really!!)
There are two months left, and I'm planning to go all out.
Because I have to study, update, and the word count will be uncertain. Sigh, it's really giving me a headache.
