Chapter 235, White Truffle and Red Umbrella

Kong Xiyan looked at Kong Zhian, opened her mouth, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say.

Were the words I said to Kong Zhian too harsh and hurt her?

But what Kong Zhian said was indeed the truth.

She has never felt any positive emotions since she was a child. All she feels is other people's disgust, disdain, and anger...

Even though those emotions were not directed at her sometimes, she would passively accept them.

After a long time, does everyone see her the same way?

Like looking at a monster?

Kong Zhian waited for a long time but Kong Xiyan didn't speak.

My sister didn't believe him.

This thought emerged extremely clearly in his mind, making Kong Zhian feel a little sad.

"Zhi'an, actually..." Kong Xiyan pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "I can now feel a lot of emotions that I haven't experienced before. During this period of time with the Zhong family, I feel at ease, feel reluctant to leave, and..."

"That's enough." Kong Zhian's chest tightened when he heard this and he interrupted Kong Xiyan: "Whatever you say!"

After saying this, Kong Zhian turned and left.

It turned out that it was not his illusion.

My sister is really much happier after leaving the Kong family.

Those smiles… were real.

It does not belong to the Kong family, nor to him.

Looking at Kong Zhian's back, Kong Xiyan felt uncomfortable and her heart was blocked. She could feel Kong Zhian's anger and disappointment.

Kong Xiyan slowly squatted down, leaning against the wall in a daze.

When did it start?

Kong Xiyan clearly remembered that Kong Zhian was very clingy to her when they were little.

She even said she wanted to be her sister's bride...

It seems... it started from that time...

At that time, Kong Zhian was playing alone in the garden when a vicious dog suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The dog seemed to have been hungry for many days. It opened its mouth towards Kong Zhian and its saliva dripped onto the ground, looking sticky and disgusting.

Kong Zhian was only five years old at that time and he was terrified.

He stood there in a daze, unable to move.

And then what happened?

Then she found Kong Zhian who was frightened silly and the dog that was about to pounce on Kong Zhian.

So she picked up a stick and rushed forward, poking the tip of the stick into the vicious dog's left eye. The dog howled and whimpered, and its cry was shrill.

Kong Xiyan did not stop, but instead stabbed the vicious dog's throat.

It is easy to poke a sharpened stick in, but very difficult to pull it out.

She tried with all her strength but couldn't pull it out.

Then he pounced on the vicious dog and punched it on the head again and again.

Until the vicious dog's head was completely smashed.

Brain matter mixed with blood gradually covered her entire body, turning her light pink princess dress red.

The vicious dog was probably dead long ago, but her eyes were red with anger.

It wasn't until a servant screamed that Kong Xiyan came to her senses. She pulled out the stick that had been difficult to pull out, staggered towards Kong Zhian, and stretched out her hand to him: "Don't be afraid, Zhian, I will protect you."

At that moment, she felt the fear coming towards her from Zhian.

After looking around, Kong Xiyan realized that there were already quite a few people standing around.

They just looked at themselves quietly, their eyes full of horror.

It was like looking at an untied wild animal, a monster that had broken free from its chains.

Fear, hatred, disgust...those negative emotions surged towards her like a tide, until they drowned her.

Then she lost consciousness.

In her last glance before she passed out, she saw the sky.

A vast expanse of blue.

Kong Xiyan raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky was also blue today!

At this moment, a shadow was cast beside him.

Kong Xiyan turned her head and looked at the people around her, also startled: "Luo Lao San?"

"I'm packing mushrooms here." Luo Zhenxuan squatted beside Kong Xiyan: "I'm White Truffle, what about you?"

"As for me..." Kong Xiyan retracted her gaze and said, "I am the Amanita muscaria."

"What kind of mushroom is that?"

"Red umbrella, white pole, let's lie down together after eating."

"Oh... I've heard of it before, the one about sending the whole village to bed, right?" Luo Zhenxuan smiled, "As expected of you, you want the whole village to be in order even when you're trying to steal money or kill someone!"

"Pfft! What?" Kong Xiyan was amused by Luo Zhenxuan's words: "You are really not good at telling jokes."

Looking at Kong Xiyan's smiling face, Luo Zhenxuan's expression also became much more relaxed.

When he passed by just now, he had no intention of paying attention to Kong Xiyan.

After all, that little jerk really screwed him over yesterday.

But... Kong Xiyan seemed to be out of tune with the whole world, as if she would be swallowed up by despair at any time.

Luo Zhenxuan didn't give up after all. He squatted down next to Kong Xiyan and told a lame joke: "Not good at it? No way! I think I'm pretty good. Aren't you laughing?"

"You're making me laugh!" Kong Xiyan rolled her eyes at him. "If you don't believe me, tell me another one! Except for the cobra one!"

"That's not the only trick I know!" Luo Zhenxuan cleared his throat lightly. "One day, Kong Xiyan got angry and rushed out the door. I rushed downstairs to catch up with you, and then took the door back!"

"There are so many things to complain about, I don't know where to start." Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched: "If I'm angry, why should I take the door? And with your strength, can you catch up with me? How can I let you take my door back from me? Who are you looking down on?"

"You really are such a jerk!" Luo Zhenxuan frowned unhappily. "I was telling you a joke out of kindness, but you were still saying I'm a wimp in your words! I'm angry and don't want to talk to you anymore!"

After saying this, Luo Zhenxuan turned his head away and really ignored Kong Xiyan.

"Stingy." Kong Xiyan bumped Luo Zhenxuan's shoulder and said, "Third Brother Luo? Are you really angry?"

"Don't call me Luo Lao San!" Luo Zhenxuan said without even turning his head: "I've already told you! I'm White Truffle!"

"Hahahaha!" Kong Xiyan couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this.

"How's it going? My jokes are pretty good, aren't they?" Luo Zhenxuan then turned around and looked at Kong Xiyan proudly: "Are you feeling better now, Hongsansan?"

"You're really lazy. I told you I'm Amanita muscaria!" Kong Xiyan put her hand on Luo Zhenxuan and said, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you."

Standing up, Kong Xiyan snorted and glanced at him: "But I still have to remind you, for someone like me who can't even feel love, there's no such thing as a good mood. Don't waste your time on me."

Luo Zhenxuan stood up and turned to look at Kong Xiyan, his eyes full of determination: "How do you know if you don't try?"

"What do you mean? You don't really want to pursue me, do you?" Kong Xiyan wanted to ask this the last time Luo Zhenxuan kept asking her to calculate his marriage.

"Yes, I want to pursue you." Luo Zhenxuan looked at Kong Xiyan and nodded seriously.

"What you're saying now is a bit dangerous. I'm Xing Ertang's consort now!" Kong Xiyan crossed her arms and said, "It's better to wait at least two years before saying such outrageous things."

"Hmm?" Luo Zhenxuan's eyes lit up when he heard the voice: "Can I pursue you in two years?"

"Of course." Kong Xiyan looked at Luo Zhenxuan and showed a bright and beautiful smile: "If you don't catch up with me, how can you take the door back! Hahahaha~"

Hearing the voice, Luo Zhenxuan's mouth twitched. There was no need for him to make such a joke by running out of the door!

But looking at Kong Xiyan's smile again, Luo Zhenxuan also slowly smiled.

Forget it, let it be.

At worst, he could ask her again in two years when he got the door back.

[I've taken the door back. Now, can I chase you?]
