"You haven't answered my question yet. How old are you this year?" Shen Sanruo didn't answer, but continued to ask her questions.

"I think I was seven years old, if I remember correctly."

"Yes, you're only seven years old. Why are you thinking about so many things? What you need to do now is eat well, drink well, play well, and take good care of your health."

The boy seemed stunned. "Fairy sister, you are the first person to comfort me like this."

"Did you feel comforted? Are you feeling any better?"

The boy nodded emphatically, seemingly very pleased.

"Alright, then let me ask you, why do your parents think you're unlucky? Are you a cursed star, bringing them bad luck?"

The boy was caught off guard by the sudden change of topic, his expression turning blank as he never expected her to ask such a question.

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. After a while, she said with a strange expression, "Fairy sister, has anyone told you that what you're doing is very impolite?"

“You know I’m a fairy sister, do I need to be polite?” Shen Sanruo raised an eyebrow.

“Others would comfort me, saying it wasn’t my fault, that my parents were unfit to be parents. Fairy sister, you are so special.”

"It seems quite a few people are comforting you." She smiled meaningfully.

The boy answered without hesitation, "Not much. Just now, when my aunt brought me back, the other uncles and aunts asked me a few questions."

"Calling me a jinx is pretty accurate. Anyway, none of the people I've been in contact with have had a good ending. They were right to drive me away, and I really don't like this version of myself."

"Sister, are you afraid of me? Do you hate me?" The boy's eyes lit up again, anticipating her answer.

"It depends on my mood, and also on how you perform."

boy:……

She heard the boy sigh almost imperceptibly, "Sister, you really don't know how to comfort people."

"Alright, after all, even a fairy sister is human and will have things she doesn't know. I forgive you, you don't need to blame yourself."

"So you came all this way to see me just to say these things, hoping I would comfort you?"

"I just came to see Fairy Sister, and of course I hoped you could comfort me, but it's okay if you can't."

Shen Sangruo did not respond to his words, but instead glanced at his hands behind his back.

"As expected of a fairy sister, you even noticed that." The boy stretched out his hands in front of him, revealing what he was holding.

It was a teardrop-shaped stone, and he struggled to hold it with both hands, his fingertips turning white from the force.

He was truly afraid that the stone would crush his branch-like wrist in the next second.

"I searched for a long time before I found such a beautiful stone. I wanted to give it to the fairy sister as a gift. I hope the fairy sister won't mind it?"

Given this eccentric fairy's personality, she probably wouldn't accept it...

Before the boy could finish his thought, he felt a lightness in his hand; the stone was now in Chen Sangruo's grasp.

"Of course I won't mind, after all, it's a token of your good intentions. Just try to avoid touching such heavy things in the future, or your body might not be able to handle it," she said with a smile.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed the boy's eyes, but he concealed it well, instead revealing a happy expression.

"That's great, then I won't disturb your rest any longer."

I greeted her and then left her room.

She watched the boy's figure disappear from her sight, the smile on her lips ambiguous.

He fiddled with the pebble in his hand, "It's interesting."

He's obviously not a well-behaved child. "Aunt Xu has picked up a brat."

A phrase involuntarily came to mind: born bad.

It's incredible that such a small village could produce such a masterpiece.

She wanted to see what this little brat was up to, and she wouldn't mind giving him a "loving lesson" to bring him back on track.

The boy who appeared by her door at some unknown time heard every word she said, right outside the range of her divine sense.

He completely changed his expression and mouthed, "You're the interesting one, your whole family is interesting."

Then she gave a genuine smile and said, "But you are indeed very interesting, sister."

It's a pity about that stone; he finally found it after a lot of trouble.

He slipped away and returned to the room that Aunt Xu had prepared for him.

The boy came to her room twice more in the following two days.

He always timed it perfectly, sneaking into her room when she closed her eyes to rest, and once even in the middle of the night.

Unable to hide his excitement, he carefully approached her bedside, aimed the stone at her head, and raised it high.

Unexpectedly, a cluster of flames suddenly appeared before him, illuminating the astonishment in his eyes.

Wasn't she already asleep?!

"Coming to my room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, you're very suspicious, kid." Chen Sangruo's voice rang out, tinged with coldness.

At this moment, the stone that the boy was holding high was still suspended in the air.

It was also a teardrop-shaped pebble, with the pointed end facing Shen Sangruo's head.

She glanced at the pebble, chuckled softly, but her eyes remained cold.

"What, is this the same as the previous two pieces? Is this also a gift you're giving me?" she asked with a smile.

"How did you know, sister?" The boy had already lowered his raised hand, showing no sign of panic at being caught.

"You want to kill me?"

"Is it okay?" The boy held the stone, a genuine glimmer of hope in his eyes.

They've stopped pretending at all.

She countered with, "What do you think?"

"Sigh, my sister definitely wouldn't want me to kill her, so I won't ask for it," the boy said, feigning disappointment. "But if you let me kill her, I'd be very happy!"

"Do I need to thank you?" The smile in her eyes gradually faded. "At such a young age, you're already learning bad habits, always thinking about taking other people's lives. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

She caught him red-handed, and she's determined to instill the right values ​​in him.

"Didn't my sister say I'm a jinx? I just did some things that a jinx is supposed to do." The boy tilted his head, looking innocent.

"By the way, sister, you don't know this yet, but I can't kill you, but it's different for others."

As if to prove his words, flames burst into the sky outside as soon as he finished speaking.

The villagers' shouts rang out repeatedly, "Fire! Fire! Help put out the fire!"

At night, when people are sound asleep, a sudden fire can be difficult to react to immediately.

“I specifically chose this time, sister, what do you think? I know I can’t kill you, so I can only kill them.”

Shen Sanruo originally had the patience to argue with this little rascal, but when she saw that he dared to set fire to the village, her patience was instantly burned away by anger.
