Chapter 115 – Not Really Pity, Definitely Not Charity (2/2)
“Another way? What is it?” Shen DaiYing didn’t understand and asked.
“Asking your companions for help!” Lin Xiao gave his answer, “If you meet someone worth relying on, then asking that person for help is a good method, right?”
“Asking for help? Heh.” Shen DaiYing coldly scoffed.
How could she not know something like that? Rather…
Who was her companion?
That person worth relying on, who was the perosn who could reach out a helping hand towards her?
Was it this trash in front of her that only knew how to laze around?
What kind of joke is that!?
“Lin Xiao, I don’t need your gentleness!” Finally, Shen DaiYing didn’t beat around the bush, and bluntly replied.
Her final reply.
“Eh… Sister Ying, don’t reject me so quickly, that’s already the second time.” Lin Xiao could only awkwardly scratch his head.
“Second time? I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Shen DaiYing didn’t want to continue this baffling topic, and asked, “Lin Xiao, why are you here?”
“Me?” Suddenly being asked, Lin Xiao scratched his head, and stuttered, “Actually, I came to look for Elena.”
“Your maid?”
“Yeah, that fellow left today morning, and still isn’t home yet. I’m worried that something may have happened, so I came looking for her.” Speaking of Elena, Lin Xiao smacked his lips and started complaining, “Her temper is terrible, she’s always causing me trouble, I have to keep a close eye on her!”
The actual reason was because he gave Elena a magic crystal that could only last 12 hours, it was over if it exceeded the time limit! He didn’t want Elena to die so he came looking for her.
“Oh, is that so? It seems like you two have a good relationship.” Shen DaiYing’s tranquil voice had no up or downs, it was unknown whether she was just jealous or simply sighing.
“Eh? No, no, no, we…” Just as Lin Xiao was about to explain, Shen DaiYing didn’t bother with him anymore, and just turned and walked away.
“Lin Xiao, if you have to help me, then defeat me in tomorrow’s competition.”
Shen DaiYing tread away in her high-heels,.
“A person who loses to me can’t give me gentleness.”
Leaving that behind, she disappeared at the end of the alley.
“Sigh…”
Shen DaiYing pondered over their conversation, it was the first time seeing that emotionless Shen DaiYing, but…
But his feelings towards Shen DaiYing still remained passionate.
At that time, a familiar voice came from behind him.
“Give her gentleness? Peh! Disgusting.” He didn’t know when but Elena was actually standing behind him, coldly cursing at her.
Lin Xiao jumped, immediately tuned around and saw his silver-haired red-eyed maid.
“Ah! Elena, you were here! I finally found you!” Lin Xiao’s disappointment and frustration disappeared instantly after seeing Elena, and was instead angry like he was going to fight someone, “You disobedient maid! I can’t believe you dare run away without even cooking dinner… And here I even believed you, hmph, I won’t let you leave alone anymore!”
Saying that, Lin Xiao ran over and grabbed Elena’s arm, then forcibly dragged her back towards their home.
“What? … Y-you actually came looking for me?”
She was hiding nearby all along, so she heard Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing’s entire conversation, naturally, including what Lin Xiao said about being worried about Elena and coming out to look for her.
“No shit! Who would I come look for other than you? If the magic power in the crystal disappears completely, then you’ll die!” Lin Xiao spoke like a master that worried about his maid.
“… I-I don’t need your worry.” Receiving his worry for the first time, Elena wasn’t accustomed to it, and emotions of embarrassment appeared on her face.
In order to avoid blushing and making a fool of herself, she imitated Shen DaiYing, used a robot-like cold expression to shake off Lin Xiao then ran off by herself.
“Why don’t you go worry about your ‘Sister Ying’? Disgusting.”
“What did you say? Elena, where did you go earlier? Hey!!” Lin Xiao tried to catch up to her to get some answers, but the faster he chased her, the faster she ran, the alleyway pursuit happened once again.
This time, just in reverse.
“Damn it… what’s with today? Do they all hate me that much?”
Lin Xiao was bitter.
Today, he was rejected by Shen DaiYing, then ridiculed by Elena, he felt like his life was a failure, he had no one who loved him.
Because he was excessively hurt, Lin Xiao suddenly missed that cute loli who once hugged his arms and intimately called him brother.
If it was his little sister, he definitely wouldn’t be mistreated like this!
“Snow, when can we meet again… I miss you so much!”
