Chapter 19 Don't act in front of me



"You talk too much nonsense." He helped her stand up straight, like standing in a military posture.

Xiao Zhou stood beside her, looking at her coldly, but his slightly red ears and curled fingertips betrayed his thoughts.

But when he saw her almost fall, his first thought was that he was afraid she would cry, because it would be really troublesome if she cried. By the time he reacted, he had already hugged her.

The tenderness at that moment made him subconsciously not want to let go.

I vaguely remembered who said that he was not alone now.

But, she was the one who left him first.

That night, she drugged him and bewitched him with her glazed eyes.

He just wants to live a simple life.

But when everything was over and he wanted to take her to wash, someone else was in the bed and she was gone.

"Woo, it smells so good."

Suddenly, a woman's soft and satisfied cry was heard not far away.

The noodles were a bit clumpy and the soup base was lacking.

"Can you teach me how to make this soup base?" Bai Jiaojiao looked at him devoutly.

Xiao Zhou had already come back to his senses. He looked at her coldly, and his voice became even colder: "Don't act in front of me anymore. I won't fall for it."

Bai Jiaojiao blinked, "The soup base recipe..."

Xiao Zhou repeated the recipe expressionlessly, and then said, "It's a bowl of noodles. Just tell me if you want to eat it."

In his eyes, a bowl of noodles tasted like this, nothing special, just for the sake of filling himself up. If he wasn't afraid that she would starve to death and be unable to atone for her sins, he would just want to give her some noodle soup.

Bai Jiaojiao enjoyed the noodles very much. Even a bowl of noodles with only noodles and soup was like a feast to her. There was not even any soup left, and she had to savor the taste for a few seconds after finishing it.

"What a good actor." Xiao Zhou said lightly, but the corners of his lips unconsciously curved a little.

Bai Jiaojiao thought to herself that since you eat the food you make every day, of course you don’t think it’s a big deal, so she didn’t bother to argue with him: “I’ll go wash the dishes.”

"Can you wash dishes?" the man sneered.

She walked into the kitchen, but saw a lot of bowls and chopsticks placed in the dishwashing area, twenty or thirty bowls and plates, all of which were for the guests in the morning. It would probably take a long time to wash them all.

Bai Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, it was not a big deal, at most the original owner's skin, which she had carefully maintained, would be a little rough.

She filled the bowl with water, rinsed the first one patiently, and put it aside. When she was about to wash the second one, her elbow accidentally hit the freshly washed bowl. With a 'pop', the bowl fell to the ground, but was caught by a large hand.

The next second, a tall black shadow loomed behind him.

Bai Jiaojiao felt guilty: "I was careless."

Xiao Zhou said impatiently: "Go away."

Bai Jiaojiao was afraid that he would get angry, so she whispered, "I can do it. I promise I won't knock over the second bowl."

Xiao Zhou clenched his hands and said, "I don't want to say it a second time."

Bai Jiaojiao stood aside timidly and said to herself, "Don't worry, I won't run away and won't say bad things about you to others."

So don't hit her with an axe, or pants.

Xiao Zhou was of course aware that this was Xiaojia Village. Given the reputation of his village, no matter what Bai Jiaojiao said, no one would believe her. If she went out and was seen by someone, he would be able to find her within two hours.

It's impossible to escape.

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't easily coax herself to wipe away her tears. Maybe she was too tired from crying, and she fell asleep leaning against the wall next to her.

When she woke up, she found herself still kneeling in a fairly comfortable position, leaning against the wall. Her knees were numb again. In front of her were still the three spirit tablets and three photos.

Next to him, Xiaozhou was also kneeling, looking like an exquisite, strong, majestic wooden sculpture whose interior had completely decayed.

"When you wake up, go to the funeral hall and accompany me." The man said coldly, "If you are lazy again, don't even think about having dinner."

Bai Jiaojiao sat down immediately. The presence of the person next to her was too strong, so she tried hard to distract him and continued chatting with the three tablets.

There was actually nothing to say, so she started telling stories, from Snow White to Princess Elsa.

"Mom and Dad, don't be disgusted. It's nice to listen to it with Xiao Yueyue. She likes it very much."

Xiao Zhou glanced at her and said, "How do you know Xiao Yueyue will listen? She has never heard of these things, and you have never said them."

Bai Jiaojiao said: "Maybe I told her about the other world. I think she liked it very much."

Otherwise, why do I go to bed on time every time after listening to one?

"Nonsense." Xiaozhou said.

Bai Jiaojiao shrugged, and Xiao Zhou suddenly asked, "Princess Elsa, will only your sister accept her?"

He lowered his eyes, seemingly calm and composed, but his evasive gaze showed that he really wanted to know the answer.

Without waiting for Bai Jiaojiao to speak, he laughed at himself again: "Apart from relatives, who would accept an alien?"

The Xiao family's family structure is very special. Having two girls who have no ability to take care of themselves means that Xiao's father has to devote all his energy to his wife and daughter. Xiao Zhou has to be independent since he is very young, and even has to plan for the future of the family. He has to think about how he will take care of the whole family if Xiao's father can no longer work.

He has few friends and devotes all his energy to planning for the future. He is polite to everyone, yet keeps people at a distance.

Even those who were impressed by his abilities and wanted to make friends with him would immediately keep their distance and maintain a friendly appearance once they heard about his family.

Bai Jiaojiao said: "No, I like her too. There are many people who like Princess Elsa. If I see her, I will definitely give her a big hug."

"What about you?"

Will you abandon me again?
