"Ling'er, you're being a bit excessive~"
The cold voice carried a hint of complaint and intimacy, startling Zhao Ling'er so much that her popcorn fell to the ground. She looked at Liu You'er as if she had seen a ghost, completely bewildered. They had just been bickering, and now Liu You'er was acting all friendly, which felt quite disgusting.
She had always been straightforward, and upon hearing those words, her expression vividly depicted her feelings at that moment. Her brows furrowed into a dumpling shape, making her look like a little guinea pig.
"Someone came here specifically to help you heal, and there are outsiders present. You're being too inconsiderate!"
The other three were momentarily stunned. Liu Xinxuan instantly understood Liu You'er's intention. She quickly regained her composure with a light grip, but this small action did not escape Liu You'er's notice, causing the corners of her mouth to curl up coldly.
Initially, she had distanced herself from Liu You'er after seeing through her true nature. Little did she know that Liu You'er would use her dislike against her, causing her to make mistakes during family gatherings and creating an unpleasant atmosphere. Afterward, when her family passed away, her aunt took custody of her, and she was often bullied while living in Liu You'er's house. Especially at school, Liu You'er even spread rumors about her using Liu Xindream, leaving her completely innocent.
At that time, she was young and stubborn with a strong sense of pride; she refused to explain herself. Most importantly, she didn't want to share her family matters with unrelated people. So she let the rumors spread unchecked, leading to her rapid isolation once she entered high school. It wasn't until later when she met Liu Yue that things improved somewhat.
By the time she reached university, she had come to terms with everything and was too lazy to get entangled with them again. She ended up studying near City A. Ironically, Liu Xindream always thought it was because she left City B that made her happy. However, Liu Xindream was quite pitiful too; she had been used since childhood.
Zhao Ling wanted to say something but suddenly felt numb all over, especially when she tried to speak. It felt as if countless insects were gnawing at her body. She glared fiercely at the seemingly indifferent Liu You'er and contemplated whether it was better to avoid conflict for now.
Li Xiong, the fool, successfully understood Liu You'er's words and approached Zhao Ling with dissatisfaction: "Exactly! I agree with that statement. You should accept Xuanxuan's help instead of being stubborn..."
Liu Xinxuan smiled at Li Xiong in agreement but secretly wished to throw him away for his foolishness. Unfortunately, for the sake of her image, she still nodded amicably while looking eagerly at Zhao Ling.
Ah, using others' character flaws to attack is something you taught me; then why can't I use your desire to maintain a perfect image against you?
Although Liu Xinxuan felt angry after nodding in agreement, she wasn't particularly worried because Zhao Ling would absolutely refuse her help. However, this "Ruru" in front of her... gave off an indescribable sense of familiarity. It felt just like when she first realized that Liu You'er was that person's daughter—extreme jealousy mixed with intense disgust!
Unable to help herself, she glanced at Liu You'er and their gazes collided perfectly. The depths of Liu You'er's pupils were dark and deep, faintly hinting at a trace of red—full of temptation and danger. At first glance, they sparkled brilliantly but were actually filled with dead silence as if all hope had been lost.
She had never seen anything like it!
When Liu Xinxuan withdrew her gaze, she realized that there was a faint sheen of sweat on her back. Of course, this only confirmed for her that this woman was someone she had never encountered before! Liu You'er could not possibly exert such an overwhelming pressure on her!
Moreover, the earlier exchange clearly told her that this person had no emotions. Liu You'er had experienced a period of silence after the accidental death of her family, but she had seen her once during college. She was the typical cold on the outside but warm on the inside, still that kind-hearted fool who was not appreciated.
Recollecting her thoughts, she continued to look at Zhao Ling, only wanting to leave as soon as she shook her head. She did not want to stay in the same space with this unknown woman. To her surprise, Zhao Ling actually nodded stiffly, willing to accept her help!
Her expression froze, and she quickly glanced at Liu You'er, her eyes deep with suspicion. This woman must be up to something!
Liu You'er smiled lightly and asked with confusion, "What's wrong? Weren't you just eager to get treated? Now you want to back out? Were you just being polite and making fun of our Ling'er?"
"Um um um um!!!"
(Who is your Ling'er! I don't want her to treat me; what have you done to me!)
Zhao Ling looked at Liu You'er and quickly turned away, revealing a mischievous smile. Furious, she felt like she could spit blood. Who would have thought that this person would turn around and angrily say, "Did you hear that? We don't need your politeness! If you want treatment, then treat us; if not, just leave! Hypocrite!"
Thud.
Zhao Ling lay down with a face full of despair, pounding her chest. She hoped Liu You'er would leave quickly; seeing her again made her fear she would end up like Zhou Yu and spit blood to death. However, she heard Liu You'er over there lamenting, "Look at how upset my Ling'er is!"
Li Xiong was a bit confused; before he entered the room, he clearly heard insults being thrown around—things like "little brat" and "next time I'll beat you to death." Was this how girls expressed friendship after the apocalypse?
Seeing Li Xiong silent, Liu Xinxuan thought he doubted her. She shot a threatening glance at Liu You'er and then turned to Zhao Ling with a face full of "joy," saying, "Then I'll help you with your treatment~"
Zhao Ling: Please let me die alone; thank you.
However, how could Liu Xinxuan possibly hear her thoughts?
Ten minutes later,
Li Xiong gently supported the pale and weak Liu Xinxuan as they walked out of the room. Just outside the door, he picked her up in a princess carry. Liu Xinxuan had dropped to mid-stage Level Seven and felt weak all over, so she let him carry her. Her hair covered her small face, making her look even more charming.
The fierceness in his eyes made her tremble uncontrollably. Li Xiong couldn't see her eyes clearly and thought she was cold, so he held her tighter and hurriedly ran toward her home while holding an umbrella.
"Why did you make her treat me! Now I owe her!"
Liu You'er looked at Zhao Ling, who was stomping her feet in anger while standing on the bed, and yawned lightly before saying, "What are you yelling about? Who said you owe her a favor?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling reacted slightly, covering her mouth in surprise as she looked at Liu You'er. A muffled voice escaped through her fingers.
"You are so shameless!"
But somehow, that voice sounded a bit excited.
Liu You'er disdainfully looked at Zhao Ling's sparkling eyes and continued, "Did you ask her to come?"
She shook her head vigorously.
"Did you refuse her before, and she insisted on treating you?"
She quickly nodded.
"Have you heard of 'No Expectation of Return for Kindness'?"
"...Is that how this saying is used?"
"Hahahahahaha~"
The infectious laughter nearly shattered Liu You'er’s eardrums, causing her to raise an eyebrow. The next moment, a big red apple was stuffed into Zhao Ling's mouth, successfully restoring some peace to the ward.
Having achieved her intention and preparing to leave, she was caught off guard when she heard Zhao Ling start crying as soon as she pushed the door open. Turning around with a tingling sensation on her scalp, she saw Zhao Ling biting into an apple while sobbing.
"Woo woo woo, if my sister hadn't turned back to pick up that rotten apple back then, she wouldn't have died! Woo woo woo woo~"
"Uh..."
Liu You'er actually wanted to leave, but seeing her in this state made it seem inappropriate to just walk away. She awkwardly said, "Your sister really loved to eat..."
Zhao Ling said with a slight tremble, "It's just that she never understands what I say. It's been almost five months!"
Five months... will she turn back to pick apples?! She probably can't even chew them...
"Your sister?"
"Yeah! She'll be able to give me a nephew soon!"
"Five months... having a baby? She can't even walk!"
A flock of crows flew over Liu You'er, and a vein throbbed on her forehead.
"Your sister... what kind of creature is she?"
"Oh, Guinea Pig."
"Bang~"
Zhao Ling looked in surprise as Liu You'er slammed the door and left, feeling a bit confused about why she was upset when she was the one feeling down. Speaking of which, space Ability users are great; this apple is quite sweet~ She quickly finished eating it, thought for a moment, and tossed the core onto the lawn outside the window, clapped her hands, and continued to lie down.
Finally getting some rest, she certainly wanted to cherish it~
