Hearing this, Xiao Yao, who was diligently repairing the system, couldn't help but raise her tiger paw and weakly remind him: "[Um... Master, actually... I want to say something.]"
Si Jin: to speak.
The tiger cautiously rubbed its paws together: "Um, well, the original owner's character was insecure, no... not a 'white lotus' (a term for a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative woman)..."
Si Jin: ...
The next second, Xiao Yao's other half of the system also failed.
The little tiger shed tears of regret.
Didn't the adults say we should follow the original character's persona?
Is its warning incorrect?
(╥ω╥`)
"No, don't think like that, you're beautiful."
"Although this word is not very suitable to describe a man, you... are really beautiful."
Feng Linyuan's voice completely extinguished Xiao Yao's last glimmer of hope.
Fine, it'll just block out external information and go fix the system.
Only with a calm and tranquil mind can one remain unmoved by joy or sorrow.
Feng Linyuan was blind to love, and seeing Si Jin like this, his heart tightened for no reason, and he felt a strange pain.
She reached out her hand, wanting to wipe away Si Jin's tears.
But it seems that such actions are too intimate.
The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, as if it was about to look for a handkerchief or something similar on its person.
But then he saw Si Jin grasp his hands with both of hers.
She looked up and wiped away her tears.
Her soft, drooping eyelashes brushed against the man's fingers, easily reigniting the emotions she had just suppressed.
Feng Linyuan's face inexplicably felt hot, and he couldn't help but gently stroke Si Jin's face following her movements.
I wondered: Could it really be like the stories I heard as a child, where there are fox spirits in the mountains that suck people's life force?
Si Jin keenly saw through his thoughts, gently released his hand, and turned her head away: "Don't...don't look at me like that, my eyes...we were born like this, I...I'm not a monster."
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears again.
Did he really bully someone?
This little guy has double pupils. He must have been ostracized a lot in this remote mountain village.
Thinking this, Feng Linyuan felt a pang of self-reproach and reassured him, "No, I know you're not."
"Double pupils are medically considered to be a pupillary adhesion deformity, and light pupil color is also related to this. This may sound a bit too rational, I don't know if you understand."
Feng Linyuan said, "To put it more emotionally, even if you were a demon, I would still willingly jump into this trap."
The man appeared to have poor eyesight, as he wore a pair of metal-framed glasses perched on his nose.
When she smiled, the crimson beauty mark under her eye also moved slightly.
Because of the lens, the mole seemed to reflect the moonlight slightly, yet it was far more beautiful than the moon itself.
Si Jin was still in a daze when he heard him deny himself, saying, "This might be too cheesy, and it's getting late, let's go back first."
Feng Linyuan carried the person back a couple of steps and came to the group of junior researchers. “Everyone is tired tonight. Let’s go back and rest first. We’ll come back to collect samples in a few days.”
After saying that, ignoring the strange looks on the researchers' faces, he picked up Si Jin and strode down the mountain.
This child is too weak; we need to get him back in the car quickly, he absolutely mustn't get cold.
Otherwise, getting a fever would be very troublesome.
The researcher, left standing there: ...
So, their leader has become ungrateful for women, hasn't he?
Right? Right?
… …
Along the path at the foot of the mountain, Feng Linyuan placed Si Jin in the passenger seat, pulled the curtains tight, and fastened his seatbelt.
Only then did I get out of the car to get a small blanket from the trunk, intending to warm him up.
But to his surprise, when he got back into the car, he saw the thin boy struggling to break free of his seatbelt.
The clothes on his arm were torn, and his movements intentionally or unintentionally revealed several old and new wounds.
Si Jin seemed to be startled when Feng Linyuan returned.
She looked up, her eyes instantly filling with tears, filled with helplessness and unease.
"Sir, did I do something wrong?"
Why are you being tied up too?
——————
As usual, I'll add two chapters tomorrow. Today's chapter is a bit too simplistic and reserved.
The arrogant child in this world will maintain the original owner's character (not really) and will still bully the scum.
For example, seeing a little jerk: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, so please let me atone for my sins, help you get rid of your pain, and send you on your way~"
Do you miss the yandere's arrogance?
