Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Are All Kids Insincere?
With a face all ravaged and grinning viciously, Nangong Meng looked especially terrifying.
Fang Yumei almost vomited, but she had to serve her attentively: "Miss Meng, what do you need? Master Four asked me to take care of you..."
"I just want Xi Zuzi to have bad luck, to see her fail the college entrance exam, I want her dead! Hurry and deliver the talisman paper to that Wang... Xin!"
"Alright. What a coincidence, that’s my wish too."
＝＝
Gu Jingyan left Nangong Meng’s hospital room, didn’t take the elevator, and walked down the stairs.
His expression was indifferent, but his feelings were complex.
He resolutely chose to protect Xi Zuzi’s reputation, sternly warning Nangong Meng. Although it didn’t align with his usual aloof principles, this time, he still defended her!
If that little girl ever starts acting arrogantly in front of him again...
Thinking about it.
Suddenly, from a room near the stairwell downstairs, came a familiar, lazy yet ethereal voice: "Little grass fish, you’re awake?"
Gu Jingyan paused!
He froze at the stairwell as if struck by electricity.
No way, he just casually thought about that little girl, and she appeared in front of him?
This mystical?
He stood still, unable to move, but the conversation between Xi Zuzi and Xi Rubao entered his ears clearly—
"Sister Zuzi, I had such a long nightmare, boo boo boo..."
"Don’t be scared, you won’t have them anymore. Ancestor has extracted a strand of Xiao Zhang’s spirit to use as a medicine guide for you. Since you’ve drunk that potion, you’ll be fully recovered."
"Wow, Sister Zuzi, how did you manage that?"
"Um, it’s simple... just knock a hole in his head and extract it."
"Sister Zuzi, you’re so badass!"
Xi Rubao looked at Xi Zuzi with infinite admiration, eyes full of stars.
Unbeknownst to them.
Gu Jingyan, standing on the staircase landing, felt his heart nearly stop.
Witch!
Little witch!
Actually knocking a hole in someone’s head to extract... extract what brain matter? Using the brain matter as a medicine guide for little grass fish?
He just vowed so confidently in front of Nangong Meng that Xi Zuzi would absolutely, absolutely not poison anyone.
Yes, she might not poison, but she’d knock someone’s brains!
Gu Jingyan’s breathing was rapid; he was about to rush into the room to argue, but, after standing there angry for a while, he eventually said nothing, turned, and continued down the stairs.
Yet, after just descending two steps.
In the ward, Xi Rubao, with keen eyes: "Hey hey, Mr. Gu, you just passed by my room and didn’t come in to visit me? You’re so heartless, aren’t you? Back then, when you got struck by lightning, I came to see you many, many times, I even knocked your head awake..."
Gu Jingyan’s face darkened.
The bump on his head from back then, the bruise still hasn’t faded.
"You two, do fewer things that are against nature and cause harm! Not every time there’ll be someone to cover for you. One day, you’ll cause the sky to fall, and there’ll be no one to patch up the gap, hmph!"
Xi Zuzi: "Uh, Ancestor can patch the sky."
Xi Rubao: "Yeah, my sister Zuzi is super awesome."
"You all!... Simply outrageous."
Gu Jingyan was so angry his face turned black, then red, red, then black again. Without turning back, he quickened his pace and left.
Xi Rubao pouted: "Sis, isn’t Mr. Gu’s head damaged by my knock? Why is his arrogance getting worse? How are we causing harm? He dismisses us with that look?"
Xi Zuzi smiled slightly: "Kids, always say one thing and mean another."
Xi Rubao: "Sis, I’m a straightforward child."
"Mm, I meant male children."
"..."
Xi Rubao chattered away next to her ear, and suddenly Xi Zuzi couldn’t hear clearly.
The phrase "male children" slowly crossed her lips, yet what appeared in her mind wasn’t Gu Jingyan but Bao Gucheng.
The boy didn’t seem to request a video chat tonight oh.
Did he get bored so quickly?
