Hello, Little Friend (2)
Seeing that she still wanted to resolve the issue peacefully, it poured cold water on her, saying âHost, give up. You canât be friends.â
Jiang Xiaoman ignored it.
Because it once said that she and it could not be friends, but right now the system had become her best friend.
âIâll exchange the candies for what youâre holding.â Jiang Xiaoman said.
The little boy finally paid her some attention. âDo you know how to play this?â
Jiang Xiaoman, who didnât know the immensity of heaven and earth[2], said, âOf course.â
âThen help me open it.â
The little boy handed the thing he was holding to Jiang Xiaoman. She only just now discovered that what he had been playing with was a block of wood.
Open? How do you open this thing?
Jiang Xiaoman pushed and pulled, but she couldnât make it budge at all. It was just a few pieces of wood, but no matter how she pulled or twisted, she just couldnât manage to open it.
It was very difficult.
She was getting a little tired, but she still didnât want to give up. She didnât want others to laugh at her.
âIf I manage to open it, can you give it to me?â She asked him
âYes.â
Jiang Xiaoman grinned happily. âYou said it.â
After she said that, she stood up and smashed the wooden block to the ground, then ran and stomped it as hard as she could.
After a few cracking sounds, the assembled wooden pieces fell apart.
â???â The little boy was stunned and froze.
His black eyes opened wide, staring at Jiang Xiaoman in a daze.
Jiang Xiaoman raised her chin and proudly said. âHey, there is nothing inside.â
There was the wooden blockâs wreckage on one side and her proud face on the other.
The little boy turned his head with much effort, his expressionless face finally moving, then finally burst into tears. âWhy did you smash my Luban lock!!!â
The little boy cried so pitifully, and heart-wrenchingly asked Jiang Xiaoman why she smashed his Luban lock.
She felt guilty and tried explaining in a small voice, âYou said youâd give it to me if I opened itâ¦â
ãQuest item has been obtained. Target has been made to cry. Reward: 10 pointsã
ãBalance: -910ã
The sound of the little boyâs cry intertwined with the notification sound from the system. She felt very guilty and gave him the two candies. âThis is for you. Donât cry, okay?â
âI donât want them!â The little boy cried so hard that he started to hiccup.
He glared at Jiang Xiaoman and silently shed tears, then smacked the two candies to the ground.
Jiang Xiaoman felt bad and sadly picked them up.
âI⦠I will give you this in exchange for your Luban lock. This is my precious treasure, please donât cry.â She said, her voice breaking and her eyes holding back her tears. She took off her precious tiger hat with both hands and gave it to the little boy.
That tiger hat was given to her by Jiang Xing and was already very old. Adding to its outdated form, in his eyes, it was reallyâ¦
âUgly.â The little boy refused.
âWuuuââ Jiang Xiaoman thought that he was talking about her messy precious hair. She couldnât hold back anymore and burst into tears. âYou called me ugly, you called me ugly! I donât care about you anymore!! I apologized to you and gave you candy, but you called me ugly!!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiaoman walked away while crying. When she passed by the Luban lockâs wreckage, she purposely stepped on it again.
So what if she was a villain!
He was even worse! He called people names!
She walked back while crying and sat on the chair. She kept crying until snot and tears filled her face, startling Jiang Xing until he came out.
âXiaoman, whatâs wrong? Who bullied you?â
Jiang Xiaoman cried until her vision blurred from tears and covered her head with one hand. âItâs all your fault, Iâm not pretty anymore. Someone just called me ugly. I donât care about you anymore! Wuuuuââ
