Chapter 33: Misunderstanding as Lovers

  I don't know when Xiong Xiaotu and Jin Hongbao were together sneaking a peek, I was so tense just now that I didn't notice anything unusual.

  Suddenly I realized they appeared together, and I had a feeling of being observed by them. On the surface, they pretended to be unaware of each other, but in fact, Xiong Xiaotuo was already being dragged away by Jin Hongbao.

  The original Xiong Xiaotu was very obedient, obviously spoiled by Jin Hongbao. If this continues, not to mention that Min Xi will be difficult to control, even Xiong Xiaotu may become unruly.

  "Aren't you afraid of scaring my Jiujiu to death like this?" Min Xi wrapped his arms around my waist, saying possessively.

  But I suddenly felt confused and couldn't understand why he wanted to do this. We clearly didn't have that kind of relationship!

  I wanted to shake off his hand, but Min Xi whispered in my ear, "You'd better behave, otherwise I'll throw away your ring and you'll never find it again!"

  This time, I really fell into Min Xi's hands, without any strength to fight back. I stiffened my body and used my eyes to complain to him.

  "So that's how it is..." Jin Hongbao nodded understandingly, a smile on his face.

  However, Xiong Xiaotu's eyes dimmed, filled with deep loss.

  I don't want to misunderstand Xiong Xiaotu, nor do I want Jin Hongbao to misunderstand. For this farce, I can only pretend to be silent. As long as there is a chance in the future, I will definitely give them a satisfactory answer. Now, the most troublesome thing is that my escape artifact has not been found, and Su Meiren's ring was snatched by Min Xi again.

  "Then why don't you leave!" Min Xi urged them to go, while my heart was filled with bitterness.

  Xiong Xiaotu didn't make any move to leave, but instead walked up to me. The tense cells in my heart began to stir again. Looking at Xiong Xiaotu's worried expression, I wondered if he wanted to express some grievances.

  His eyes met mine, so clear and bright, but the emotions inside were complex.

  I also looked into his eyes, and for some reason, I felt a stinging sensation in my eyelids, as if there were tears hidden beneath. With an added sense of reluctance to part ways, I didn't want to see the pain in his eyes, nor did I want our emotions to become stiffened.

  But between the wrist ring and Xiong Xiaotu, I can only choose the former. This is a terrible fate, I am powerless to resist, feeling like a rootless duckweed, drifting wherever it goes.

  "Lingrong, I wish you happiness." Xiong Xiaotuo's voice was soft, but to my ears, it was a heavy echo.

  No way! How did he end up congratulating me and Min Xi? It's really making me feel unexpected, logically speaking, he should be angry, not like this now. Or maybe I'm expecting him to get angry for his own sake, what's the point of saying congratulations in such a weak tone?

  It turns out that Xiong Xiaotu can let go of me so easily, which means his liking for me is not that deep after all. But thinking about it, I haven't known Xiong Xiaotu for long either, just a few days.

  At first he said he liked me because I was the only female he knew. Now, after getting used to human life, he found out that there were other beauties and where would he put me as his number one?

  "Please remember what you said today." I gritted my teeth and said unwillingly.

  Forget it, I didn't plan to be with Xiong Xiaotu anyway. I don't know why such negative emotions appear. Logically speaking, I should be very relaxed. If people's feelings can be rationalized a bit, or there will be less painful torture!

  "There's something else..." Xiong Xiaotu suddenly shifted his gaze to Min Xi, his face serious as he said: "If you really plan on being with Lianrong, take good care of her. Don't casually flirt with girls."

  Doesn't it sound like a beastman? Is it because he and Jinhongbao have been together for a while, so there has been some qualitative change in his thinking?

  That seemingly unreliable Jin Hongbao actually educates Xiong Xiaotu on the correct view of love, it's really unbelievable.

  "This is of course." Min Xi also looked up at Xiong Xiaotu with a sincere expression.

  But on the surface he was sincere, I could see that he was just perfunctorily humoring Xiong Xiaotuo.

  "Alright." Xiong Xiaotu didn't leave until he had finished handing over the matters.

  Today, Xiong Xiaotu's performance really shattered my glasses. For a moment, I felt like being with Xiong Xiaotu, but the future is so long, how can I settle down casually?

  "How was it?" Min Xi lightly asked, and with a slight bump of his chin on my forehead, this careless action somehow added a hint of intimacy.

  My face suddenly turned red, I glared at him and said fiercely: "Everyone has left, so stop pretending..."

  "There are only two possibilities." Min Xi still maintained an intimate tone of voice, with a hint of nonchalance.

  I was taken aback and asked: "What?"

  "There are two possibilities. One, you like me and want to get close to me. Two, you're quarreling with Xiong Xiaotuo, so you want to get close to me to spite him. Which one is it?"

  What? When did I get close to him? My misunderstanding of Min Xi is really very inexplicable.

  I wanted to push away Min Xi's smelly hand, but found that he was really holding on tight. I looked at him helplessly and said coldly, "I'm saying... that's the third possibility."

  "Oh, is there a third possibility?" Min Xi suddenly showed interest and asked in a relaxed tone, not afraid of me revealing something shocking.

  "I don't like either of you." I said resolutely, originally not planning to like anyone, why would I be labeled as liking someone for no reason, it's really inexplicable!

  "You must like me, otherwise why would you want my pen?" Min Xi was still there, self-righteously explaining, I really had an urge to roll my eyes wildly.

  Why has the problem returned to its starting point? I really want to say that Min Xi is truly bored!

  Should I tell the truth? At this point, I'm considering the possibility.

  However, it's also possible that Mian Xi won't believe me. But in this bizarre and strange world, isn't everything possible? Or perhaps after hearing my explanation, he'll be willing to let me off?

  I don't know which friend once said that what men fear most is women's tears. If I can say a few more words and shed two more tears, it might just work wonders!
