"I seem to talk too much..." Hong Haoran looked at Bai Xiaoyu's distant figure and blamed himself. Originally, he was just happy to meet his former classmates in the game, so he wanted to chat a little more, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
"It's okay." I am a poor man patted Hong Haoran on the shoulder and comforted him.
"But Xiaobai seems... angry."
"Really?" Thinking carefully about Bai Xiaoyu's relationship with them, he had never lost his temper. Except for being a bit stubborn in some places, I have always accepted everyone's suggestions, reminders and even ridicules gently.
"In my impression, Xiaobai always sits quietly on the side." Hong Haoran briefly explained the origin of the nickname, "Even if there are some boring people in the class who take the opportunity to call Xiaobai a little idiot or a little boy, he is just indifferent. Smile, ignore it and don't argue. But just now..." This was the first time he saw Bai Xiaoyu turn around and leave. Was it a sign of anger
"Xiao Yu may not be angry, don't think too much."
"Doesn't any of you know about him?" Xie Huang was a little concerned that not only no one knew about Bai Xiaoyu's situation in such a large class, but he even allowed rumors to be spread at the class party. Anyone who has been in contact with Bai Xiaoyu for a long time will know that he has never been that kind of snobbish person.
"Xiaobai doesn't talk to us much, and no one is particularly close to him, so after graduation, I don't know his affairs very well." Hong Haoran scratched his head a little ashamedly, even Bai Xiaoyu was admitted to C University because of him See the happy list posted in the school.
Xie Huang looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Bai Xiaoyu disappeared. He might understand why he always saw Bai Xiaoyu's lonely eyes that he wanted to hide but couldn't hide.
After Zuiwo left in frustration, Xiehuang sent a secret voice to Bai Xiaoyu. "Come to the teleportation array at the east gate of the capital."
Bai Xiaoyu didn't reply immediately, because he was afraid of being asked about real things, and he wasn't ready to speak out, and he didn't want to speak up at all right now.
"Xiaoyu, we are leaving, you are the only one left, come back quickly." Just as Bai Xiaoyu was hesitating, the voice of the evil emperor came again. Although the tone of voice was still steady and the speaker's emotion could not be heard, but it always made people feel an invisible momentum, making Bai Xiaoyu pretend to be an ostrich. What's more, Bai Xiaoyu is a trustworthy person, and he has already made an appointment to go to the ancient city. Even if the current situation is a bit embarrassing, he can't play with his temper and let everyone's pigeons go.
"I'll be there right away." Bai Xiaoyu decided to let go of his entangled mood first, and maybe when the time comes to fight monsters and get busy, everyone won't have time to care about his family affairs.
He quickly turned around and went back the same way, only to see Xie Huang leaning against the street lamp with his arms folded in silence. Although his face is expressionless, his powerful aura has attracted many sneak peeks from passing players.
Bai Xiaoyu felt a little strange not seeing the poor man and Yuexia. When he approached, the evil emperor, who was motionless like a Greek sculpture, seemed to have returned to his body, grabbed Bai Xiaoyu and walked towards the center of the teleportation array.
"Choose to teleport Nebula City."
Nebula City is an inconspicuous small city in the Puluo area, so when Bai Xiaoyu and Xiehuang walked out of the teleportation formation, the scene on the street could not be compared with the bustling capital city at all. The autumn wind blows a fallen leaf, which can be described in two words -desolate.
Taking Bai Xiaoyu into a deserted path, Xie Huang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked straight at Bai Xiaoyu.
Bai Xiaoyu, who was already half a head short, felt that he had shrunk again under the direct gaze of the Xie Huang. He instinctively told him what the Xie Huang wanted to tell him, but he was afraid of being asked the question that he didn't want to answer, so he tried his best to shrink down. Zoom out again.
Xie Huang stretched out his hands to caress Bai Xiaoyu's cheek.
The next moment, with a pull left and right, Bai Xiaoyu's cute cat face quickly transformed into a pie face.
"... It hurts." Bai Xiaoyu didn't react for a while, because he couldn't imagine that the evil emperor would make such a prank at the level of a primary school student.
"Do you know it hurts?"
"kindness."
"This is the punishment for lying to you." He let go of his hand, and seeing Bai Xiaoyu's cheeks flushed, he knew that the evil emperor hadn't shown mercy just now.
"I'm sorry." Bai Xiaoyu also knew that he had told a lame lie, and anyone with a discerning eye to clean up the space column would know it was a lie. Since it was an appointment in advance, everything must be packed before the assembly, otherwise Bai Xiaoyu's life in the guild for the past few weeks would be in vain.
"If you don't want to say it in the future, just refuse it."
"kindness."
"You can even keep silent, no one will force you, but I don't like you lying to escape."
"I see."
"Does it still hurt?" Seeing that Bai Xiaoyu admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Xie Huang stretched out his hand to touch Bai Xiaoyu's still red face.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." The pain was minimized by Bai Xiaoyu from the very beginning, which is nothing compared to the pain of death.
"Then, let's go meet up with the others." Xie Huang would not apologize for screwing Bai Xiaoyu's face just now. Lying will be punished. This is the rule that the eldest brother of the Black family set for him since he was a child. Therefore, Kurosaki Yoshi, who was basically raised (bullyed?) by his elder brother, has always learned this rule by heart and implemented it to the end.
The evil emperor took Bai Xiaoyu's hand across the city of Nibula, and the ruins of the ancient city they were going to needed to transfer several times. (Teleportation arrays in different corners of the same city have different teleportation ranges)
There was some silence along the way, Bai Xiaoyu was in self-reflection. He didn't know how to read words and expressions, so he couldn't hear whether he was angry from the still unmoving words of the evil emperor. But he knew that he had done something wrong today, and at the same time he didn't want to be hated by the evil emperor, so he decided to apologize again sincerely.
"Yao, I'm sorry, I won't lie anymore in the future."
"En." Xie Huang only replied one word lightly. After a while, as if thinking of something, he slightly bent the corner of his mouth and added, "Next time I dare to lie, I will kiss you."
"Huh?!" Bai Xiaoyu completely crashed, unable to operate.
