GOR Chapter 547 Fallen Soo Soo
“… yes.” Chen Xiaolian answered Soo Soo’s question and continued, “However, we still cannot confirm it for now. At present, it would appear that there is nope. Additionally, the possibility of this being true is considerable.”
Hearing his words, Soo Soo then entered a state of silence. Next, remaining barefooted, she walked forward until she was standing before everyone in the room. After that, she acted oblivious to everyone’s presence and picked up the water canteen on the table before pouring herself a cup of cold water.
The little girl gulped down the cup of water one mouthful after another. After that, she turned around to look at Chen Xiaolian.
She appeared to be considering something as she slowly spoke up, “A considerable hope, is it, Xiaolian oppa? If that is the case… … that is very good. Sister will have the chance to be resurrected. That is very good.”
As she said the words “very good”, her eyes showed no trace of joy.
Chen Xiaolian could sense that the girl before him was giving off the emotion of… … iciness.
“Soo Soo, what is wrong with you?” Chen Xiaolian stood up and walked over. He then crouched down before Soo Soo and looked right into her eyes.
Soo Soo did not evade Chen Xiaolian’s gaze; she allowed him to look at her as she looked right back at him.
“Xiaolian oppa, for you to crouch down before me to talk to me – that is only something adults would do when they are talking to little kids. In your heart, you still think of me as a little child who does not understand anything, is that it?” said Soo Soo as she shook her head.
“… … …” Chen Xiaolian was at a loss for words and he did not know how to respond to that.
“Xiaolian oppa brought back a piece of good news. Although it has yet to come to fruition, this thing would probably end on a happy note. Soo Soo feels very happy as well,” Soo Soo said in a hushed tone. However, she had said those words using a cold and mechanical voice. Her actions gave Chen Xiaolian an odd feeling. In fact, he also felt his scalp tingle from that.
“Soo Soo!” Chen Xiaolian was unable to stop himself from reaching his hand out to embrace Soo Soo. He then said in a whisper, “What is wrong with you? Is it… … do you not feel well? You must have been feeling very sad for the past few days, but now, at least there is hope now. You… …”
“I am feeling very good right now. Besides, there is hope for sister to be resurrected now. Of course I will feel even better.”
Unexpectedly, Soo Soo took the initiative to extricate herself from Chen Xiaolian’s arms and stepped back, putting some distance between her and Chen Xiaolian.
She looked Chen Xiaolian in the eyes and suddenly said, “Next time, Xiaolian oppa, please don’t use this kind of way to talk to me. I mean how you crouch down to talk to me. You keep treating me like a little child.”
After saying that, Soo Soo turned her head to look at the others.
That… what is up with that expression… …
It was an expression of indifference, as though there was no one there; no flicker of emotions. Those who caught sight of her black pupils were unable to stop themselves from feeling an indescribably sense of suppression.
“Well, since we are done here, I will be going back to rest.” Soo Soo gave Chen Xiaolian a nod. “If there is better news, Xiaolian oppa will certainly tell me about it, right?”
After saying that, Soo Soo walked back into her room with an air of indifference.
When the door to her room closed shut, Chen Xiaolian found himself at a loss.
A few seconds later, Chen Xiaolian stood up and cast a frown at Roddy.
Roddy tapped his nose and responded, “I… … have not had the time to tell you. For the past few days, Soo Soo’s state… I am not sure what to make of it either.”
“What is going on?” asked Chen Xiaolian gravely. “Why didn’t you say anything while we were on the road?”
“… … …” Roddy said nothing.
Next, Chen Xiaolian sighed. He understood the difficulties Roddy faced – he must have been worried for Chen Xiaolian. Thus, when he informed Chen Xiaolian about what was going on with the others, he had omitted Soo Soo.
“For the past few days, Soo Soo had been very quiet… … more accurately, she appeared to have changed into a completely different person. Regardless of who she sees, she would display that cold expression. She would not smile … … and there are no other emotions on her face either. She is just like that vengeful spirit from the Japanese movie,” said Roddy with a frown. “Additionally, it would appear that she rarely leaves her room. It is only during meal time that she would come out to get something to eat before returning to her room.”
“… … …”
