“Ok.”

Xia Nuo did it properly, put his hands on his knees, and looked at her obediently.

“…” Shi Xue Li laughed dumbfounded, she was also infected by his attitude, and adjusted her posture involuntarily, “What should I start with?”

She recalled the boy’s words: “What you said just now meant that you found that Kan Lan’er’s performance in front of you was a disguise?”

Xia Nuo subconsciously nodded, thought for a while, and shook his head again: “Not all of it… But he has something to hide from me, and he seems to let me find out on purpose…”

That shouldn’t be his illusion, even if the man didn’t intentionally guide him, he didn’t stop him from searching for the truth.

This also made him particularly puzzled.

He always feels that every step he takes now is driven secretly by the man, even carefully designed, but if this is the case, why should he be aware of it?

Compared with being deceived, it was this faint feeling of being in the palm of his hand that made him more uneasy.

Seeing his troubled look, Shi Xue Li asked softly, “What is he hiding from you?”

Just as Xia Nuo was about to speak, he closed his mouth again as if remembering something.

Because he suddenly realised that the previous doubts about the man’s identity were just doubts, and now he has no substantive conclusive evidence that the man’s identity is not simple.

Moreover, as a player who also needs to clear the game, Shi Xue Li is not sure how she will react after learning the news.

He couldn’t help but sigh secretly, until now, he was still worried about whether the exposure of the man’s identity would cause him any bad results.

My head must be broken, Xia Nuo thought dejectedly.

Shi Xue Li saw his embarrassment, she smiled reassuringly, and said, “I won’t ask any more about the matters between you young lovers. I just want to know, did the things he kept from you hurt you and make you angry? “

“……”

Xia Nuo thought about it seriously, shook his head, and gave a negative answer.

In fact, when he found out, his first reaction was not anger, but panic. It was as if his previous cognition had been completely overturned, making him feel that the man in front of him was a little strange and scary.

As for getting hurt…

On the contrary, it can be seen from the previous events that he is the one who is best protected by the man. All the other teammates suffered minor or serious injuries, but he was the only one who was safe and sound.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling a little guilty towards Shi Xue Li.

“Then you can’t accept this kind of behaviour at all? Do you want to break up with him and ignore each other?” As expected, she got a negative answer, and Shi Xue Li immediately took a strong dose of medicine.

“This… I never thought about it.”

Unexpected panic appeared in the boy’s round eyes.

Xia Nuo’s heart shrank suddenly, such a hypothesis made him feel an unspeakable sour feeling.

He never imagined what it would be like if he and Kan Lan’er became two complete strangers.

“Then what are you worrying about?” Shi Xue Li raised her eyebrows, “Normal people will pretend in front of the object they like. In order to cater to the preferences of their loved ones, they are afraid of being rejected and hide their dark side to show the most innocuous perfection…isn’t it the instinct of all living things? “

“If you discover his unknown side and still like him…”

Shi Xue Li tilted her head, her unfinished words were self-evident.

“What you said seems to make sense…” Xia Nuo nodded hesitantly.

“However, that doesn’t mean he was right to lie to you.” Shi Xue Li changed the subject, “You also have to make him realise his mistake.”

“Then what should I do?” Xia Nuo seriously asked Shi Xue Li for advice.

“This…”

……

The sky in Nasuru was overcast, like a sign before a heavy rain, and the air was heavy and stuffy, making people feel a little breathless.

Such rare weather has lasted for three days.

On the first day, the village head was still a little happy, and said to Xia Nuo: “It must be raining, with such thick dark clouds, it must be a heavy rain.”

Nasuru is dry and rainless, and every drop of rain is a gift to them.

However, he waited and waited, but no raindrops fell for a long time, the sky was still gloomy, and everyone who watched felt a little panicked.

The next day, the village chief began to feel a little worried.

On the third day, the village chief couldn’t sit still.

He found Xia Nuo and asked tentatively, “Brave man, have you… quarrelled with Kan Lan’er recently?”

“No.”

Xia Nuo was sitting at the desk, reading the ‘Monster Encyclopaedia’ intently.

The library had been thoroughly cleaned and cleaned since his last visit, and it was now very clean and tidy. Xia Nuo often reads here.

He was still reading the ‘Monster Encyclopaedia’. The introduction of each monster is very detailed and vivid, and the language is also very humorous. Xia Nuo couldn’t help but keep reading.

However, due to the weather, the light was dim, and there was a kerosene lamp on the desk. The dim light reflected the boy’s face like warm jade.

Hearing the village chief’s question, Xia Nuo raised his face, a little puzzled: “Why do you ask such a question?”

“This…” The village chief glanced at the still gloomy sky outside the window.

Does this still need to be doubted? You are the only one here who can touch that adult’s mind.

“If there’s no quarrel, then it’s an awkward situation?” The village chief put forward another hypothesis.

Anyway, it’s impossible for that adult’s mood to turn bad for no reason, right?

“It’s hard to call it a fight.” Xia Nuo thought about it seriously, “It should be regarded as my unilateral cold war.”

With such an understatement, he said words like thunder on the ground, and the village chief looked at the unaware boy in front of him in amazement. This is obviously a million times more serious than arguing!

“…Why is this?” The village chief carefully said good things for the man, “Kan Lan’er’s EQ has been relatively low since he was a child, if he did something wrong and made you angry, you should explain it clearly to him. All right?”

Although he said ‘bad things’ about the man, even though it was to persuade him to make peace, the village chief was still a little scared.

I was really afraid that something would happen. The next moment, the village chief saw the man’s half-smile face outside the window, but Xia Nuo didn’t notice it because his back was facing the window.

The village head broke out in cold sweat. He really wanted to turn back time and shut the mouth of his nonsensical self, but saw the man mouthing to him.

——”Continue.” The man said so.

Well, just keep going.

The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, and heard the boy answer him: “He did something wrong.”

This is no surprise.

The village head thought in his heart, he often walks by the river, how could there be no wet shoes? (T/N: Murphy’s law basically, ‘Anything that can go wrong will go wrong’.)

From the very beginning, he expected that the man would definitely overturn, but he didn’t expect him to say good things in the end.

“But I’m not angry because of this.” Xia Nuo’s expression was still calm, as he said, he wasn’t angry because the man lied to him.

“Why is that?” The village chief himself was a little curious.

Yes, why is that?

The man stood outside the window, also very puzzled. He desperately wanted to know the answer.

Three days ago, the teenager started a unilateral ‘cold war’ against him.

The specific performance is: just saying hello indifferently after meeting; dodging when he tries to take his hand; only responding to him with a simple “um” and “ah”; even when he receives flowers from him, he forces himself not to show a happy expression…

At first, the young man felt a little uneasy after doing this, thinking that he was hiding well and peeking at his face cautiously, like a deer pricking up its ears to detect the enemy’s situation.

At first, the man thought the boy’s performance was very cute, and he was interested in guessing what he would do next.

As a result, three days later, he couldn’t laugh at all.

The heavy dark clouds in the sky reflected his terrible mood well.

Because the boy was really serious about the ‘cold war’ with him and resolutely implemented the three policies of ‘don’t listen, don’t watch, don’t care’. If his performance was a little rusty at the beginning, he became more proficient later.

Once he got serious, the man’s life became difficult.

Compared with the young man who didn’t seem to be affected much and still did what he had to do, the man’s mood could already be described as bad.

He felt that he probably suffered from a serious disease called ‘Chang An Deficiency’.

The specific manifestation of the disease is the mania and anxiety caused by various reasons such as not seeing the boy’s smile for a long time, being unable to have physical contact with the boy, and the daily dialogue does not exceed 20 sentences, etc. due to various reasons, such as mania and restlessness, and then a desire to destroy something.

If the condition is not relieved, the man does not know what he will do.

“Because he didn’t apologise to me.” Xia Nuo gave an answer that was beyond everyone’s expectations while the other two waited with bated breath.

As Shi Xue Li said: “It’s not terrible to do something wrong, but he must recognise this mistake and apologise.”

“Chang An, you have to take the initiative in this matter, you know?”

Shirley told him earnestly, although Xia Nuo was ignorant, he still nodded to show that he remembered.

The village head raised his head cautiously, and saw the man give him a look of ‘leave quickly’.

Although he was muttering “Throw it away when you’re done using it”, the village head obediently said goodbye and left.

After going out, he met the man who hurried over.

Hope nothing happens this time.

The village chief thought to himself, he didn’t want to lose sight of the sun for a whole day.
