C96 (1/2)

Tathagata didn't seem to completely believe me. I could see the suspicion in his eyes, and I knew that if it were in the past, he would have been furious with me. However, it wasn't as serious as I thought.

Although he didn't believe me, he didn't make things difficult for me.

What had changed him so much?

I really couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried. After all, I firmly believed that it was impossible to change one's personality.

I had an uncomfortable feeling in my heart, because I had never liked to lie since I was a kid, so now I felt guilty about lying.

Tathagata didn't seem to want to argue about this matter any further. He didn't say anything and just sat down on the sofa, feeling slightly tired.

I noticed that his clothes were a little dirty. It felt like there was a lot of dust all over his body.

In my heart, I felt even more suspicious of his whereabouts. This fellow has been out every night for so many days already. I really don't know what he is doing.

He had his own home, which he didn't, as if it were a rich family, and he told me at first that he lived in a temple in the back mountains of the village, but I never saw him leave his villa.

This was clearly a matter of much suspicion.

The truth about the deaths of my loved ones seems to be getting further and further away from me now. I don't know why I would suddenly think about it now.

My head hurts again. Just thinking about these random things makes my head hurt again.

When Tathagata saw my appearance, he asked in concern, ”What's wrong? Is there a headache?”

I was startled. His attitude really surprised me. Why did his tone carry a hint of concern? This was something that had never happened before.

While I was still in a daze, Tathagata turned around and walked into the house. I didn't know what he was doing in the gourd.

Very soon, he came out. However, there was one more thing that appeared after getting injured. ”This is a special medicine that specializes in treating headaches. It's very effective. Hurry up and eat it.”

In my hand was the medicine he had given me, and I was in a daze.

Isn't this way too weird?

The tone of his voice was pleasant to hear, and he didn't sound cold at all. His voice made me feel lost in it, and I was even a little mesmerized by it.

Tathagata seemed to find it funny, but when he saw my confused look, he said again, ”Don't you think that my change is somewhat unacceptable? However, this is all because of you. ”

”My contribution? What do you mean, tell me? ”I said, just how do you want to torture me?”

I snapped out of it. I thought he was just making it up to torture me.

Tathagata said to me patiently, ”Why would I torture you? I won't be angry with you anymore. Trust me, I'll definitely do it. ”

I felt a little stuffy. How could there be such a miracle?

Tathagata's temperament had already taken root in my heart. I definitely wouldn't change my mind about him just because of those words he said.

I kept thinking to myself that this was absolutely impossible, that he had come up with some kind of scheme.

Yes, that must be it. He must have come with ill intentions.

Thus, I secretly made up my mind that I would definitely not be fooled by his actions.

But in order to know what he was thinking, I had to feign ignorance.

”Forget it, let's not talk about these things. If there's nothing else, I want to rest.”

Tathagata seemed to want to say something but was hesitant. He seemed to have a lot of things to say to me. However, he seemed to be hesitating about something.

However, he did not say it out loud. He only nodded his head, ”Go, it's getting late. Go to bed early!”

As if I had been pardoned, I hurried away.

It wasn't until I returned to my room and closed the door tightly that I finally let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't make things difficult for me, otherwise this would have been another problem.

Qihai has been really good to me, but the only thing that makes me feel regretful is that right now, there is an existence called Tathagata between the two of us, which is why we can't be together smoothly.

I am thinking, if Qihai doesn't exist, then maybe we can be together without worries.

However, the moment this thought appeared in my mind, I couldn't help but be shocked by myself.

What am I thinking? Isn't this too terrifying?

I hastily withdrew all of my strange thoughts. I wanted to force myself to close my eyes and have a good night's sleep.

When Tathagata saw me leaving in such a hurry, his face showed endless melancholy.

His brow had formed a huge line, as if he had something on his mind.
