Xiao Meng looked calmly at Xun'er's blushing cheeks and smiled gently, "Not only do I want to see the stars, I also want to see Xun'er happy. Don't be sad for Xiao Yan anymore, okay?"
"Brother Xiao Yan is very good to Xun'er. When he was little, he often played with Xun'er. When he was four or five years old, Brother Xiao Yan often came to Xun'er's room"... When she said this, Xun'er felt her little face getting hot. She quickly shut up and stopped talking, just like a child who had made a mistake, and was extremely well-behaved.
Xiao Meng was silent for a while. As a time traveler, he naturally knew what Xun'er was talking about. But after all, Xun'er was just an innocent child. How could she understand these things at that age? In the final analysis, Xiao Yan was too despicable.
Unconsciously, Xiao Meng's fists had been clenched. He forced himself to suppress the rage in his heart and tried to remain calm. He didn't want to show his anger in front of Xun'er.
"Xun'er, I have been an orphan since I was a child. They left me when I was very young. Although Uncle Xiao Zhan adopted me as his godson, he only recognized my talent. I don't have any relatives in this world. Are you willing... to be my sister?" Xiao Meng looked at the white moonlight and said suddenly.
Xun'er, who was standing by, gently stroked Xiao Meng's hand with her delicate hands and hurried to comfort her, with deep sympathy in her heart. She also didn't have many friends since she was a child, and Xun'er's childhood was also very lonely. But because of this, she could better understand Xiao Meng's pain.
Feeling Xun'er's delicate hand gently placed on his own, Xiao Meng grabbed it and held it tightly. Xun'er's skin, as delicate as milk, made him feel a little cozy and comfortable.
He didn't mean to take advantage of Xun'er deliberately. If Xun'er continued to be entangled with Xiao Yan, she would never be truly happy in her life. Only he could make Xun'er truly happy.
Xun'er struggled slightly with her jade hands but did not break free. She was not used to being held by Xiao Meng like this, but she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart that refreshed her heart.
Xiao Meng continued, "Xun'er, I hope you can be my sister. Although I, Xiao Meng, don't have parents, I really hope to have a relative. If you are willing to be my sister, I will protect you at all costs and not let you get hurt at all." Xiao Meng looked at Xun'er, and the determination in his eyes deepened.
.
"At any cost?" A tear flowed from Xun'er's beautiful eyes. This was the first time she heard someone say such caring words to her. She suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was worthy of her trust.
"If one day, a lot of people want to hurt me, and you can't beat those people, what will you do?" Xun'er murmured in a low voice, looking at Xiao Meng. In the latter's dark eyes, she could feel a sincerity from the heart.
"Then let them step over my body first!" Xiao Meng said in a firm tone, without any hesitation, holding Xun'er's hand a little tighter.
"Brother Xiao Meng, I believe you," Xun'er opened her little mouth with deep shock in her eyes, and placed her other jade hand lightly in front of Xiao Meng's lips. At this moment, she completely believed that the young man in front of her was not even comparable to her brother Xiao Yan.
Seeing Xun'er agreed, Xiao Meng felt relieved. Now, as long as he could successfully seduce Xun'er again, the system's task would be completely completed.
Although there was some pitiful element in what he said just now, even if such a day really came, Xiao Meng would do what he said without hesitation, because the girl in front of him was worth his protection.
At this moment, a faint light appeared in the dark night sky. Countless stars seemed to wake up at this moment, emitting their brilliance with all their might.
"What a beautiful starry sky," Xun'er looked up gently, gazing at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the starry sky is, it is not half as beautiful as you. In my opinion, the reason why this starry sky is so bright is just to set off the beauty of Sister Xun'er," Xiao Meng looked at the starry sky, smiled faintly, with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and clear, full of true feelings.
"I envy Xiao Yan very much. Even though he is a loser, you have always stayed by his side without hesitation," Xiao Meng smiled and said unwillingly.
He originally thought that Xun'er would confess her feelings to him because of his handsomeness, but he realized now that he was wrong. Xun'er's feelings for Xiao Yan were very deep and as strong as a rock, and even he could not easily shake them.
Could it be that Xun'er and himself could only be verbal siblings? This was not what Xiao Meng wanted. He wanted Xun'er to be the person he loved most in his life, to guard her, protect her, and love her for the rest of his life. There was a hint of self-mockery at the corner of Xiao Meng's mouth. He did not want to admit defeat easily, especially to Xiao Yan.
"Brother Xiao Meng, Xun'er isn't that good actually," the girl murmured softly, her voice so low that only she could hear it.
Deep in her heart there was a trace of difficult choice and pain. She could feel that Xiao Meng treated her differently, and was even better to her than Brother Xiao Yan. However, she needed more time to make a choice.
"Xun'er, let me watch the stars with you," Xiao Meng gently pulled Xun'er's wrist and said softly. Is this the limit between him and Xun'er?
Xiao Meng's little finger gently hooked Xun'er's little finger, and their thumbs were tightly clasped together, and the two palms were in a hooked position.
"Brother Xiao Meng, why do we have to make a pinky promise?" Xun'er lowered her head, her pretty face blushing, feeling a little confused.
Xiao Meng looked at Xun'er, his eyes showing a hint of determination, and then he said solemnly, "Because, once we've made a promise, we must do it."
He has already regarded Xun'er as his own sister. In this life, he will spare no effort to protect Xun'er and make her happy.
Xun'er's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Meng's determined face in shock. She vaguely felt that the young man in front of her might really be able to do it.
The bright starry sky is shining brightly at this moment, as if to witness this beautiful moment.
Chapter 63: Hunting for Pharmacist Kabuto
Xu Keke is an ordinary person who has just started to encounter these strange events.
After experiencing eating the rotten meat, she has not collapsed yet. It can be seen that she is still a person with good mental quality.
After all, she is a woman who can open her mouth and give a small goal.
Such a temperament is probably enough to crush a lot of people.
In short, Zhang Xiao felt that this kind of temperament could crush him into a scumbag. After all, he was a person who would not even give away a hundred dollars for free.
"Calm down, it's a small scene."
Zhang Xiao frowned as he looked at the poster fifty meters away. If he just walked over there, he would never be able to get the poster in his lifetime.
The routine of a strange creature like this is that it will definitely retreat another fifty meters when it approaches the poster. This is absolute.
So the right way is definitely not that simple.
Maybe there are some other mechanisms in the dormitory?
"Cousin, don't be surprised or scared. Take a quick look inside this dormitory to see if there is anything you haven't seen before."
After Zhang Xiao finished thinking, he spoke to Xu Keke, who was still stunned.
After hearing his words, Xu Keke came to her senses and began to look around the dormitory carefully.
Time passed by minute by minute, Zhang Xiao took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and the time on it kept jumping.
Both the hours and minutes kept ticking, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.
After putting the phone back into his trouser pocket, he turned to look at Xu Keke who was still searching for something carefully.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
"No, I can't tell. There seems to be something wrong with my memory. Everything in the dormitory feels both familiar and strange. I can't tell what's missing or what's missing."
Xu Keke's voice was full of doubts. Looking at her confused expression, Zhang Xiao knew that it was impossible for his cousin to find anything useful now.
It seems that I still need to find the flaws myself.
Judging from the current situation, we can only look for things one by one, but this is very troublesome.
Not only did she have to look for something she had no idea what it was used for among the piles of junk in the girls' dormitory, but she also had to find something that would be useful in this strange corridor. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After all, Zhang Xiao doesn’t know how to trigger this mechanism.
As a man who hates trouble very much, Zhang Xiao thought carefully about the current situation and made a decision.
He was about to approach the poster, and before the poster had time to move back, he threw the big wrench in his hand over.
Rather than trying to find something you don't know what it's used for among a pile of junk, it's better to just try this 'stupid' method.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao walked directly towards the poster location. He did not greet Xu Keke, who was still frowning and looking for the dormitory carefully.
He took a step forward and stepped onto the extended corridor, which was exactly the same as an ordinary floor path, with nothing strange about it.
Zhang Xiao tried to step on it twice, but found nothing unusual.
Then he stepped on it and started walking towards the poster.
Step by step.
The walls on both sides of the derived corridor are the very common white walls in dormitories.
He did not speed up his pace, but kept moving forward at a constant speed. When he was almost halfway there, the poster in front of him suddenly began to extend again, and stopped when it was about fifty meters away from him.
Zhang Xiao frowned as he looked at the poster which was fifty meters away from him again.
He took another look at his current location and found that he was in the dormitory, not in the corridor.
Could it be that I was teleported back again?
Turning around to look at Xu Keke, who still hadn't found anything unusual and was still trying hard to find something, Zhang Xiao's brows were now twisted into a knot.
This extended corridor doesn't follow common sense at all!
When it comes to testing one's intelligence like this, Zhang Xiao feels a little headache.
He himself knew that he was not very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to do the kind of work he did before his rebirth.
If he was smart, he might be a lawyer or a doctor.
So when he needs intelligence like this, he often wants to curse.
"Cousin, stop looking, come and see what's going on in this corridor."
Zhang Xiao really didn't want to use his own brain, so he looked to see if Xu Keke had any other insights.
"What? Don't need to look for it anymore?"
Xu Keke looked at Zhang Xiao in surprise, "What's wrong with this corridor? Is there..."
She couldn't help shivering as she spoke.
"I'm not sure if there are any strange creatures in there. Anyway, we are now in an illusion created by strange creatures, so it's difficult for me to answer your question, cousin!"
Zhang Xiao explained helplessly that it would be impossible to get out of this corridor using normal methods in one's lifetime.
Now I can only rely on my cousin's brain.
If his cousin was as stupid as him, then perhaps the two of them would remain in this illusion forever.
As long as he could get closer to the poster, perhaps he could use the big wrench in his hand to break the illusion.
But now he seemed unable to get close to the poster.
What a regret!
Why did I reach out to touch the wall just now?
Wouldn't it be more fun to just throw a wrench over?
"what?"
Xu Keke looked very scared. She pointed at the corridor in front of her with a trembling hand, "Cousin, are you saying that the corridor in front was created by a ghost?"
Zhang Xiao looked at her frightened expression and suddenly felt helpless. After all, she was still a girl!
Being afraid of something is a very normal thing.
"How about you go in and take a look, cousin?"
Zhang Xiao thought that maybe because he was not scared enough, the next 'procedure' could not go on, just like encountering a bug in a game.
All he could do was to see if Xu Keke would trigger some mechanism when she went in. Also, it seemed like his cousin's brain was better than his, so she might find other unusual places.
"what!!"
"I don't want to go in there!!"
Xu Keke shook her head like a rattle, and it was obvious that she was very reluctant to enter the corridor.
