Chapter 29 Li Xiao's Independent Side Story - Obsession (Fourteen)
Lin An was terrified by Yu Qingzhou's words, and her face instantly turned pale.
The Taoist priest remained nonchalant, even thoughtfully tossing him a handkerchief—or rather, a rag.
However, that doesn't matter anymore...
Lin An blankly picked up a rag and wiped his face, then stole a glance at Li Xiao not far away.
Seeing that the boy hadn't noticed the commotion and was only focused on struggling with the plucked chicken, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to look at Yu Qingzhou in a low voice with hopeful eyes, "Master Yu, you must have been joking just now, right?"
—Right, right, look at the child, look at those sincere eyes, that young heart, please don't say no!
Yu Qingzhou seemed to understand what Lin An was thinking and smiled slightly.
"Yes, I was just joking."
"Ah, that's great, I was almost scared to death..."
Upon hearing this, Lin An immediately collapsed onto the stool as if granted a pardon.
But before he could exhale the last bit of breath, the Taoist suddenly spoke again in a leisurely manner.
"But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like it's impossible."
"..."
Please, just give the child a quick death!
At this moment, Lin An's face was filled with the sorrow and hardship of life.
He looks much older than his age.
Lin An dared not eat the food prepared by the demon, for fear that he might accidentally become the last meal before his execution... After all, he still remembered the unseeing faces of those two chicken brothers.
So he claimed that he was actually a vegetarian.
"So just go outside and dig up some wild vegetables, it's green and environmentally friendly," Lin An said with a laugh.
Li Xiao didn't reply; he clearly had no interest in the rabbit spirit's fate. He could be indifferent, but Lin An was still concerned about his life, which was in the rabbit spirit's hands.
Lin An then turned his gaze to Yu Qingzhou for instructions.
"Okay, then let's go and come back soon. We'll stay here."
Yu Qingzhou answered with a kind expression, like a loving parent, and even waved goodbye.
So, what does this mean? Will the other person be waiting for me to come back?
As this thought crossed his mind, Lin An felt inexplicably moved.
He was about to say something when he heard Li Xiao coldly say, "Didn't I tell you to go and come back as soon as possible? What are you standing here for? Get out of here now."
So Lin An quickly rolled away.
In this way, only the Taoist priest and the boy remained in the courtyard, sitting on either side of the table.
Li Xiao glanced at Yu Qingzhou.
"Um... don't you have anything to say?"
Yu Qingzhou thought for a moment, then stopped eating and gave a serious evaluation: "I have to say, you have a real talent for cooking."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao immediately showed an extremely disgusted expression.
"Huh? Who wants to hear this from you?"
"Oh, so what would you like to hear?"
Yu Qingzhou's straightforward question left Li Xiao somewhat confused.
He paused for a moment before hesitatingly asking, "You mean you'll tell me whatever I want to hear?"
Yu Qingzhou replied calmly, "That depends on my mood. You can speak first, and I can listen."
Indeed, the more sincere some people appear, the more annoying they become.
He resembles the Taoist priest before me, yet also someone from the past…
Li Xiao gritted his teeth, suddenly crossed his arms, turned his face to the side, and then snorted coldly.
"I... I heard what you were saying just now."
Hearing this, Yu Qingzhou finally raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao. Actually, the boy shouldn't have turned his head away; at least then his red ear tips wouldn't have been visible.
—But it's actually quite cute.
Yu Qingzhou thought to himself silently.
"So...so you're serious?"
The boy's voice rang out again, so faint it seemed to come from afar.
This time, Yu Qingzhou nodded directly as always.
"So, are you willing?" he asked.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the boy suddenly stood up from the stool, his panicked expression suggesting he had suffered a great humiliation.
He slammed his sword on the table again, and with a loud crack, the old wooden table visibly shook.
Yu Qingzhou glanced at the sword, then at Li Xiao, and calmly came to a relatively plausible conclusion: "Oh, so you're unwilling."
A sudden silence.
The silence was broken by a soft cough from the boy.
"...You bastard, do you even know what you're saying? What do you take me for?!"
The words sounded like a question, yet also subtly contained something like expectation.
In the end, all I got was the most bland sentence—
"A debtor, perhaps."
Debtor...
The boy silently repeated himself, his face beneath the mask seeming to contort for a moment.
With a snap.
Yu Qingzhou heard a sound like something breaking, so he looked down at the old and dilapidated table leg—well, it could probably last another three to five years.
He then wanted to ask Li Xiao if he had heard a similar sound, but the boy roughly pulled him in front of him.
The teacup on the table rolled over and fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere.
Yu Qingzhou felt that this scene seemed familiar.
Oh, right, just a few days ago. When he cornered Li Xiao at that restaurant, the other party did something similar.
However, the boy's face looked noticeably more gloomy today.
He seemed even angrier.
So...should we try to coax her?
Thinking of this, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but frown. How to put it... it felt a bit troublesome.
Li Xiao didn't think too much about it. He just lowered his eyes and looked at the person opposite him, his gaze fixed on those pale lips, those mouths that were always talking nonsense and spreading rumors...
It's better to keep it closed.
With that thought in mind, the boy lowered his head and bit down.
