Chapter Thirty-Four

  Wang Zhiqiao is not a girl who cries to anyone, she rarely cries in front of others, always smiling brightly. If it weren't for her personality and fear of strangers, she believes her smile would have earned her many friends.

  Now, she has cried in front of Li Hui two or three times. Once, it's understandable that anyone can lose control of their emotions at some point, but when it happens multiple times, it's not that simple anymore. Moreover, just because she feels wronged, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels like she's throwing a tantrum at him, like a child being spoiled by their family. What kind of existence is he to her?

  Wang Zijiao looked into Yang Rui's eyes, her mind filled with questions, constantly asking herself what he meant to her, why she felt wronged when he didn't follow her wishes. After thinking for a while, Wang Zijiao's eyes lit up.

  "Light is light." Wang Zhiqiao said with a nod, and Yang Rui was left confused.

  Wang Zijiao began to explain to her, "His appearance is like a ray of light, allowing me to see the light of hope."

  When she explained it this way, Yang Rui suddenly realized, so that's how it was.

  It seems that she has now begun to accept Li Miao, and the feeling is different from when she accepted herself. At that time, she was forced into her world, while his appearance was like a ray of light, giving her direction when she needed it, making her involuntarily want to get close. It seems that my gamble back then still paid off. Li Miao's appearance will change Wang Zhi Jiao.

  "Jo! I think it's best if you keep a distance from him, after all, you're not from the same world. Don't rely on him too much, or else you'll find it hard to adjust later when you graduate and won't be able to see each other anymore." Wang Zijiao nodded in agreement with Yang Rui's advice, which was indeed correct, but for some reason, she felt a pang of sadness and melancholy.

  Li Hui recently felt that Wang Zhiqiao was not as awkward as before, and instead of ignoring herself for a few days, she had been talking to herself these past few days. Originally, Li Hui had prepared herself, but Wang Zhiqiao's behavior made her feel a bit unadapted. Was she the type who enjoyed being bullied? Li Hui couldn't help but laugh wryly.

  "Li Hui, tell me about your past school days!" Wang Zhiqiao had actually wanted to ask him this question for a long time. Before, it was because they weren't familiar with each other, and later it was because he didn't dare to ask. Now that he's finally asking, having also studied in X City himself before, what differences are there between everything in Li Hui's eyes and his own world back then?

  "I think you wouldn't like it because I was in school but didn't behave well." Li Hui furrowed her brow, not wanting to say more.

  "Come on! I won't be afraid, I've studied there before, I want to hear it! Li Hao~" Wang Zijiao saw that he didn't want to talk, so she pouted and looked a bit distressed, but still wanted to hear it, so she coaxed him and acted cute in front of him.

  Li Hui looked at Wang Zijiao's mouth, pitifully looking at herself, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter. "Are you sure you want to hear?" Li Hui asked her again and again, not preparing to give up. Wang Zijiao immediately smiled like a flower, and her eyes also had color. Brightly, Li Hui weakly lay on the table. He began his reminiscence.

  "I remember when my dad sent me to X city, I was already 12 years old. Everything was new to me there, and I tried hard to fit in with them. There were students from this side too, so we would often go out together, to the park, internet cafe, or eat at restaurants." Wang Zijiao stared at Li Miao without blinking, seeing him talk about what they did together, his face filled with a bright smile, as if telling her how happy he was back then. Wang Zijiao thought of herself and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, the scene she had back then was completely different from his.

  Li Hui looked up at Wang Zhiqiao, saw her eyes drifting away, didn't listen to himself talking, don't know what she was thinking, with unbearable sorrow in her eyes, making him feel a little heartache.

  Wang Zijiao realized that someone was watching him and knew he had been caught spacing out. He just noticed that he and Li Miao were staring at each other for a long time, "What are you thinking?" Li Miao asked aloud.

  "Don't think about it, you continue." Wang Zhiqiao forced a smile and gestured for Li Huan to go on.

  Li Hui didn't say anything else, he felt that Wang Zhiqiao was not paying attention to his story again, and most importantly, she was unhappy. He didn't want to continue this topic anymore, nor did he want to see her radiating sadness all over her body.

  Wang Zijiao stared at him, waiting for his next words, but unexpectedly Li Huan just silently looked back at her with the same intensity. Wang Zijiao started to feel a bit embarrassed, even though she no longer disliked him, being stared at so intently made her uncomfortable. She covered his eyes with her hand, and slowly felt his long eyelashes lightly brushing against her palm, making her skin itch. But whenever she moved her hand away, she would catch the thick smile in his eyes, so she put her hand back to continue blocking his line of sight, afraid that he would see her slightly flushed face.

  "Are you sure you want to keep blocking me like this?" Wang Zhiqiao only saw Li Huan's mouth curved, and for a moment he didn't react. Suddenly, he felt his hand being bitten and couldn't help but stare with wide eyes, not daring to believe that he had actually bitten himself.

  Li Hui looked at Wang Zijiao, who was frightened by his own actions, and laughed even more happily. Wang Zijiao finally reacted, his face turned red as if it was about to explode, he glared at Li Hui with wide eyes. "You dare to bite me, you're a big boy, how...". Wang Zijiao was so ashamed that he couldn't speak, how could he do this! It's too much.

  Li Hui looked at Wang Zhiqiao's blushing face, suppressing the urge to pinch her. He raised an eyebrow and said, "If you don't want to, I won't mind if you bite back." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, gesturing for Wang Zhiqiao to bite him back. Wang Zhiqiao gave him a withering look and said, "I'm disgusted."

  "I just washed my hands today." Li Miao said with a smile, intentionally misinterpreting Wang Zhiqiao's meaning.

  "Even if you've had that milk, I still don't want it." Wang Zijiao rolled her eyes weakly, expressing her helplessness towards him.

  Li Hui smiled when she said that, seeing that she had finally shifted her attention and was no longer so sorrowful, feeling relieved. "How about the horse, will you bite it?" she curiously asked Wang Zhiqiao.

  Wang Zhiqiao didn't expect him to ask that, and was taken aback for a moment. "How could I bite you? Are you a dog or something? You're always biting people."

  "Haha......" Li Huan looked at Wang Zijiao, who was almost fuming with anger, and burst out laughing. Wang Zijiao couldn't help but laugh too.

  "Are you always so casual with girls?" Wang Zhiqiao asked, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked that.

  "No," Li Huan replied succinctly.

  "Huh?" Wang Zijiao's eyes widened.

  "I'm not familiar with them." Li Hui glanced at Wang Zhiqiao and replied.

  "You mean, if you're familiar with them, you will." Wang Zhiqiao bit her own lip, feeling a little uncomfortable.

  "No." Wang Zhiqiao stared at him sternly.

  "They're not as good-looking as you." Li Huan smiled at Wang Zijiao.

  "Hey!" Wang Zijiao was startled for a moment, feeling that he was joking with himself, and angrily hit him.

  "Fool." Li Hui rubbed Wang Zhiqiao's hair, messing it up into a tangled mess. Looking at her pitiful eyes, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Really foolish!"
