Chapter 201 Communication

Milo pressed the water dispenser button and brewed the tea powder, powdered sugar and non-dairy creamer together.

She handed the light brown tea to Chen Xiao'er and said softly, "It's a little hot. Let it sit for a while before drinking."

"Thank you~" Chen Xiao'er took the cup and held it in her hand, leaning on the sofa with her sister.

She originally thought she would go directly to the Student Union Office, but unexpectedly Professor Milo took her to a narrow but warm lounge first.

Noticing her somewhat awkward expression, Milo smiled and leaned over to the edge of the sofa, sitting side by side with the two sisters, sandwiching Chen Xiao'er in the middle. "Don't worry, it's just a casual chat."

Before Chen Xiao'er could ask, she glanced past Chen Xiaotong and back at her. "Actually, today I mainly want to talk to Xiaotong. She has her own ideas, so of course she can express them."

Shala.

Chen Xiao'er shook her hand, and nodded in agreement after a few seconds: Yes, although Xiaotong is only 9 years old, a 9-year-old child also has self-awareness.

I always wanted to ask my classmates to take care of Xiaotong and help her make more friends. But what does Xiaotong think now? Does she really want to stay in the affiliated primary school?

...Although basic education cannot be compromised, I fundamentally did not consider Xiaotong's opinion. What is the difference between me and those parents who make decisions for their children without saying a word "for your own good".

She put her arm around her sister's shoulders and rested her cheek against her little head. "I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you before."

"?" Xiaotong blinked and observed her sister's expression silently, as if trying to guess her most subtle emotions.

Chen Xiao'er put her arm around her sister's shoulders and slowly straightened up. She looked into Mi Luo's eyes and said seriously, "Teacher, you guys talk first. I'll be listening carefully from the side."

Milo smiled with relief and then looked at Chen Xiaotong.

The glasses concealed the emotions in her eyes: "I won't beat around the bush. Do you really not want to go to school at all?"

"Let me be frank. Do you harbor hostility toward humans?"

Xiaotong shook her head: "No, I promised my sister that I would be a good child."

Miroku didn't beat around the bush: "From your own perspective, ignoring your sister's request."

The girl's eyelashes flickered and fluttered like a small fan. "On my own? That doesn't matter at all."

In Milo's eyes, the newborn snake's eyeballs were as clear and transparent as glass. Even a one-year-old baby would not have such pure eyes.

The reason is simple, He is a newborn being—a non-human being.

Milo would occasionally think sentimentally: If the probability of other salvation plans is slim, perhaps it would not be a bad idea to do my best to help Chen Xiao'er ascend to become the god of mankind?

There are also some voices within the church that agree with betting on Chen Xiao'er.

After all, the child is kind and gentle, perfectly fitting the image of the "girl god" in the story, making people imagine the beautiful world she loves.

But even the most radical among this group would never bet on the Newborn Snake. He truly exudes danger in every aspect.

If Chen Xiao'er hadn't been the anchor, the newborn snake would probably have devoured everyone it saw and transformed them into energy for survival.

Because for the creatures of the abyss, "becoming one with me" is what they believe to be "the best way to save humanity from doomsday."

Miroku pressed on, "You mean—you don't like studying, but you're willing to stay here and study hard as long as your sister asks you to?"

"Do you mean that as long as Chen Xiao'er is safe, you will not harm any human beings and are willing to cooperate with us to a certain extent?"

"Yes." Chen Xiaotong nodded without hesitation.

That's good news.

Milo picked up a pen and wrote in his notebook: "The newly born snakes have no instinctive hostility towards humans. It is recommended to cooperate cautiously around Chen Xiao'er."

After she finished writing, she asked, "Did anyone notice that you were being impolite in the gym? Are you unhappy with the school or your sister?"

"We've noticed your performance in the gym. Are you dissatisfied with your sister, Chen Xiao'er's current situation?"

When Chen Xiao'er heard this, she was so anxious that she almost stood up. She wanted to explain for her sister, but the word "no" was about to come out of her mouth but she swallowed it back.

It is very impolite to intervene in psychotherapy or deep conversations with others, and she must respect her sister and teacher.

Xiaotong hummed decisively: "Yes, I think you are abusing my sister."

"Pfft——" Chen Xiao'er had just decided to let her sister finish whatever she wanted to say, but she regretted it now!

She immediately dropped the cup and hugged her sister's head: "I'm not being abused! How could I be abused... Teacher, Xiaotong misunderstood, she must be joking!"

"Really, don't you think so, sister?"

Xiaotong did not twist her neck. Her eyes were always on Miluo, and she looked through her body at the screen in the monitoring center.

The newly born snake whispered to everyone watching and listening, "I'm willing to be nice to everyone in front of my sister, but if my sister says you're not good people, I won't let you go."

"I am willing to bless all humans who believe in me and treat my sister well. If anyone makes my sister cry, from the moment I no longer want to protect you, those tears will turn into your wounds and your blood."

The sound waves of the newborn snake spread at this moment. This was not a threat but a dignified declaration.

I will use my eyes to witness everything for Chen Xiao'er, and use my strength to clear the obstacles for my sister.

As a broken god, a powerful beast whose true form remains in the world, He can do it.

The people behind the monitors kept calculating the damage that the newborn snake could bring and the resources needed to eliminate this threat, and they made a nearly desperate discovery: they might be able to completely deal with the newborn snake, but the price would be too heavy to bear in the end of the world.

What's more, there is Chen Xiao'er. Once the abilities of these two sisters are perfectly combined, who knows what kind of ending will be hatched.

Chen Xiao'er is like a peerless sword sealed in a crystal box and tightly wrapped in layers of velvet and leather scabbard.

The sword needs someone to dance with it. The Church of Light originally thought that they were a suitable swordsman, but a newborn snake named Chen Xiaotong appeared and told everyone that a butcher could also dance with a sword, and she really could.

After hearing her sister's arrogant remarks, Chen Xiao'er's pupils trembled: "What's going on? I don't have a single Band-Aid on my body, nor do I cry under the covers, kneeling on the floor and washing everyone's clothes in cold water. Why does Xiaotong think I'm being abused?"

If I had to say, maybe the previous fainting caused her to have some misunderstanding, such as long-term malnutrition or something?

She looked at Milo quietly, hoping that this professor who was well versed in psychology could help her say a few words, but she saw the professor gave her a look, the meaning of which was very clear: "You say a few words."

That’s right, I am Xiaotong’s sister. As the person involved, how can I avoid it at this time?

Chen Xiao'er calmed down and took a deep breath. After the exaggerated expression on her face disappeared, she gently stroked Xiaotong's back.

"Don't worry, I've learned a lot and made a lot of friends at school. I'm having a lot of fun so I asked you to come to school too."

Xiaotong raised her eyes, and she could indeed see the underlying happiness in her sister's eyes.

She asked softly, "What if this is all an illusion?"

A false impression? Chen Xiao'er didn't understand what she was talking about. Perhaps she suspected that her roommates and classmates were saying one thing and thinking another.

Children will definitely have some doubts when they first arrive in a new environment. It is also normal for transfer students to worry that everyone in the class is laughing at them behind their backs.

She hugged Xiaotong's small body, and the warm body temperature was transmitted between the sisters. Her gentle words became more firm with the hug.

“Even if everything is fake, the knowledge, skills I have learned and the feelings I have must be real.”

Chen Xiao'er slowly loosened her grip, pushed Xiaotong's shoulder, and locked eyes with her. "School teaches you a lot, but more importantly—it's a powerful community."

"group?"

"Um."

Little did she know that her voice echoed through the space, filled with the power of what she spoke.

“Humans are social animals. Even those who prefer to live alone hope to find a peaceful and happy community somewhere far away.

We will learn how to get along with others in school. There may be disputes and unpleasantness, but as long as we earnestly find people who are willing to move forward with you, you will gain more happiness than those unpleasantness. "

“…”

The Newborn Snake recorded this information in her mind, and she still stubbornly asked, "What if the person who hurt me is the one I think I can be with?"

Hmm. Chen Xiao'er didn't stop thinking just because it was a child's words.

She looked into Xiaotong's serious eyes and pondered the cause and effect of this sentence: Xiaotong is worried that my friends are sweet-mouthed but treacherous, even more hypocritical than the Chen family. Are they doing the kind of thing that says, "Everything is good at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, they will kill you for their own benefit?"

Subconsciously, she didn't want to suspect such things, but in order to dispel her sister's doubts, Chen Xiao'er embellished her words based on "I completely trust my friends."

She said, “I’m not that weak.”

The girl's eyes sparkled in the light. "I will definitely use my heart to distinguish between sincerity and falsehood, and think hard about the relationship and interests between us. If that day ever comes, I won't let myself get hurt too much."

"Really?"

"real."

Chen Xiao'er sincerely hopes that Xiaotong can overcome the sadness at this moment and move towards a happier future.

She leaned down to look her sister in the eye, her voice flowing from the depths of her soul: "I love everyone very much, and I love myself too."

Humans can draw strength from loving and being loved, and even from the happiness of others.

For the sake of my friendship with everyone, and for the beautiful memories we all share, I will never allow myself to die in despair.

She hopes that even after graduation and when her classmates are very old, they will still be able to look at their juniors with a tone full of longing and nostalgia and say, "Chen Xiao'er, she was truly an amazing person. She lived a very happy life."

Then, because she was genuinely happy with their happiness.

She won't say these heavy words to Xiaotong now, but she hopes Xiaotong can be sure that "I have the ability to love and be loved."

"elder sister."

The newly born snake hesitated to speak, and her questions became pale and powerless.

Finally, Chen Xiaotong asked weakly: "Do you like those people more than me?"

"Haha." Xiao Ai stopped laughing at her sister's accusing look and said seriously, "I really like my classmates, my teachers, my friends, and every kind person who lives seriously. I like them very much."

She put her mouth close to Xiaotong's face and gave her a kiss: "Of course, I like Xiaotong the most."

Even though the Newborn Snake could see that her sister wasn't really putting everyone on the scales and measuring them one by one, she still put on a childish smile and said, "Well, I like you the best, too!"

The giant beast's fluctuations suddenly dissipated. Miroku coughed twice at the right time and took the initiative to open the closed door: "Okay, this chat ends here. You should go to the dormitory first to pack your belongings. Just bring a few changes of clothes. Someone will prepare the rest."

"Hey, aren't we going to the Student Union?" Chen Xiao'er blinked.

Mi Luo resisted the urge to pinch her cheek and said calmly, "We're going to the Student Union. You and Chen Xiaotong can take the Student Union's car to the practice venue."

Chen Xiao'er wanted to refuse, but when she heard "with Xiaotong", she simply nodded and agreed.

The teacher probably made this arrangement in consideration of the "unpleasant" incident in the gymnasium. He planned to let Xiaotong and her classmates separate for half a day, and then introduce themselves again when they reunited next time.

The two sisters walked through the door hand in hand. The door panel closed gently behind them, and in a few seconds, it transformed from wood to steel. Even the gaps closed up seamlessly, illuminating with a layer of blue light.

The comfortable furnishings in the "lounge" were twisted and changed one by one. Except for the sofa that Milo specially asked someone to move in, everything else turned back into cold steel.

Ding——

The "television" unfolded, transforming back into a large screen. The upper left corner displayed the monitoring room's image, while the lower right corner was the communication area.

【Thanks for your hard work】

Miroku looked at the flashing text and smiled bitterly, then raised his hand and typed on the screen: "Compared to those, let me also participate in this operation."

She added, "You should also have noticed that Chen Xiao'er is controllable and trustworthy compared to Chen Xiaotong. She is still a human being, and I can communicate with her better."

This was also her explanation for herself. After all, Ding Pingsu or Joshua should have been the original chairperson of this inquiry. Those two people probably weren't really that suitable.

After a long moment, a reply flashed on the screen.

【Can】
