Chapter 223 The Slums You Can't Escape (5)
Yan Ting was somewhat speechless.
She couldn't help but gently tap the boy on the head.
"Ah Xiao is a big idiot!"
Chen Xiao:∑(￣□￣；)
Chen Xiao had a strange feeling about being called an idiot for the first time.
Yan Ting sighed, "I knew these past few days had been strange."
"There was no substitute; it was only you from beginning to end."
Chen Xiao: "Really?"
Yan Ting: "Really, the person I'm looking for is you. Anyone who has someone they like but still looks for a substitute, whether in the real world or the anime world, is a scumbag."
Her tone was full of disdain and contempt.
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, "You're right. A man should be devoted to his lover, and follow her even in death."
Yanting Cat glared at her: "It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"
Chen Xiao tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled: "Is that not allowed? If I knew the day I would die, I would choose to take my lover with me to hell."
"..."
Yan Ting said with a blank face, "Yes, very good, extremely good."
Through these few sentences, she had already observed that Chen Xiao in this timeline had a very extreme personality and was prone to falling into a dark and morbid state.
But no way.
Even the same person can develop different personalities depending on their upbringing and life experiences.
You can't expect someone who grew up in a criminal family to grow up to be a person with sound values.
Even if there are exceptions, they are special cases.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then a perfect smile curved his lips: "If it's Zhizhi, I think dying now wouldn't be a bad thing."
Perhaps he can become someone like Yan Ting.
This way, he can see the other person instead of constantly feeling anxious and uncertain.
He was terrified that one day the other person would disappear.
He could only be at ease if he found a way to imprison her.
Yan Ting was completely flustered after hearing Chen Xiao's dangerous remarks.
"No."
Chen Xiao asked, "Why not?"
"Because I won't allow it. If you really like me, then you should listen to me."
"..." Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Alright then!"
Yan Ting looked at Chen Xiao speechlessly.
She never expected to meet a lover with this kind of personality.
But what can she do?
Then just spoil them.
Although Chen Xiao could not see Yan Ting, his desire to control Yan Ting grew stronger day by day.
Every day, he would personally comb Yanting's hair and create various styles, choose the little dresses she would wear each day, and cook different dishes for her every day.
By chance, Yanting watched the boy washing her underwear and skirt and fell into deep thought.
Something felt off about her.
It wasn't until the boy kindly fed her with a bowl that Yanting suddenly realized something was wrong.
Hey!
She gives off a feeling of being taken care of by her mother.
No, no.
Chen Xiao is a man.
Yan Ting frantically shook out that idea she had just had.
But when she saw the boy's gentle and considerate appearance and actions, she couldn't help but choke up for a moment.
"What's wrong? You didn't eat much today!" Chen Xiao ruffled Yan Ting's hair and asked with a smile.
Yanting: ...
Forget it.
It's just being raised like a child.
harm.
Just treat it as role-playing.
Yanting took a bite of bread with a blank expression.
……
Slums are not safe places; they are frequent sites of crime, fights, brawls, and theft.
The weak here are destined to be devoured.
Chen Xiao's ability to survive here came at a considerable cost.
When he was little, he often got into fights with the wild kids around him.
At first, brute force was all that was available.
But gradually he learned fighting techniques.
Of course, there is only one magic weapon for victory: to be ruthless and fearless.
His ultimate goal is to defeat everyone until they fear and dread him.
Of course, Chen Xiao also faced moments when he was on the verge of death.
But whenever this happens, he always manages to wake up struggling from the brink of death.
It's as if someone has planted a thought in his mind: to live at all costs.
But what is the meaning of life?
Unlike normal people, Chen Xiao did not think life was precious.
Because in his view, life is too fragile, and one could die at any moment.
Later, someone told him that life is precious because it only happens once.
However, Chen Xiao did not agree with this idea.
He felt that life itself was meaningless.
Even so, Chen Xiao still chose to live.
Until Yanting appeared.
At that moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of his existence in this world.
……
"I wonder what Zhizhi looks like?"
When asked this question, Yanting suddenly had a wicked sense of humor and said, "It's ugly."
Chen Xiao blinked: "How ugly?"
"Hmm, small eyes, flat nose, thick lips, and very dark skin." After thinking for a moment, Yanting added, "And a little chubby."
Chen Xiao said thoughtfully, "So that's what they look like."
"What?" Yan Ting chuckled. "Disappointed?"
"Yes, if it's just one, I think it's very unique."
Admittedly, everyone is attracted to good looks, but Chen Xiao's aesthetic sense is a bit distorted.
For him, a beautiful woman was not as attractive as a diamond.
Yan Ting stared at Chen Xiao's expression: "Are you serious?"
"If I were in your shoes, you might really find it disgusting."
To everyone's surprise, Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, if I like pretty people, I can look at myself every day."
"..."
Very good, that's a strong reason.
Chen Xiao's looks are those of a stunningly beautiful woman who is breathtaking at first glance.
Even in this dilapidated slum, it shines like a sparkling red gem.
It's indeed not easy to find someone more good-looking than Chen Xiao.
To be honest, Yanting admired Chen Xiao's appearance more than his own.
Good-looking people attract a lot of attention just by standing there.
at this time.
There was a loud knocking sound at the door.
"You brat, get out here right now!"
Chen Xiao squinted.
He had just stood up when the flimsy door was kicked open.
Then a bald, burly man walked in.
Several strong men followed behind him.
"You're Chen Xiao?"
The bald man scanned the boy up and down.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes: "I don't know what Lili saw in you. What's so great about a pretty boy?"
Chen Xiao's eyes darkened: "Get out!"
The bald man scoffed, "Who are you telling to get lost?"
He was about to step forward and punch the other person when, in the next second, he was kicked to the ground.
"Brother Huang."
"you wanna die!"
Seeing the bald man fall to the ground, the men behind him raised their fists to strike the boy.
Then, strangely enough, before they could even make contact with the boy, they were knocked down by an invisible force.
This bizarre scene instilled fear in them.
"There's a ghost... there's a ghost..."
Ignoring the intense pain in his internal organs, the bald man's eyes darkened: "Playing tricks."
He doesn't believe in ghosts at all.
"Pretty boy, Lili liking you is a compliment." He said fiercely to Chen Xiao in a rough voice, "If you dare to refuse Lili again—" Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious.
