Chapter 222 The Slums You Can't Escape (4)
You said you'd always stay with me.
We can't break our promise.
Only one.
Yan Ting paused for a moment: "Why do I feel a chill down my back?"
Chen Xiao smiled but remained silent.
the next day.
Yan Ting stared into deep thought at the scene before him.
Did she wander into the wrong place?
Several pieces of gleaming gold were placed on the table in the middle.
It almost blinded her.
"Does Zhizhi not like it?"
Seeing that Yan Ting remained silent for a long time, Chen Xiao asked in confusion.
"...Where did you get this gold brick?"
Yan Ting seemed to be thinking of something bad, and her expression grew increasingly serious.
"Ah Xiao, a person can be poor, but he must never do bad things!"
Chen Xiao: "..."
He was somewhat amused and exasperated: "No, I earned all of this through legitimate means."
"Are you sure?" Yan Ting asked, somewhat skeptical.
"Then why are you living such a miserable life?"
Chen Xiao's expression was somewhat indifferent: "I guess I've gotten used to it."
He was not as poor as Yanting had imagined.
He even has enough money to live a luxurious life.
But he didn't like it.
Chen Xiao didn't have much desire for money; if it weren't for Yan Ting's appearance, he might have continued living like this indefinitely.
For Chen Xiao, money was not difficult to obtain.
If Yanting needs 100 million right now, he can get it for her tomorrow.
Yanting, who had thought she could support Chen Xiao, was somewhat disappointed.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Chen Xiao is so smart, how could he not make money!
Unless he's unwilling to earn it.
Yanting: "I like it very much. I like anything you give me."
She would still like a blade of grass even if it wasn't a gold brick.
From beginning to end, what she cared about was not the gift itself, but the person who gave it to her.
She liked anything that Ah Xiao gave her.
Since Yanting arrived.
The room where Chen Xiao lived was completely renovated.
It looks dilapidated from the outside, but it's actually a hidden gem inside.
Looking at the brand-new and beautiful decorations before her, Yanting smiled with satisfaction.
She originally intended to take Chen Xiao away from here and live elsewhere.
But for some reason, the boy was very stubborn and insisted on staying there.
From this, Yanting keenly sensed that Chen Xiao was hiding something from her.
She recalled the boy's previous despondency.
A guess came to mind.
However, she still needs to verify this guess.
Chen Xiao was the one who felt the changes in the house the most, after all, this was the place where he had lived for more than ten years, and no one knew the details of this place better than him.
The once cold and lifeless house has come to life with the various decorations in Yanting.
As Chen Xiao watched, his sharp phoenix eyes gradually softened.
He thought he had finally met the person he had been waiting for.
Actually, a long, long time ago, Chen Xiao had always felt that he had to find someone.
He didn't know who this person was, but a voice in his head told him that he had to find her.
After finding her, take her home.
Therefore, Chen Xiao decided to leave the slums to find that person.
But he couldn't leave the slums.
Once he leaves the slums, his body begins to break down.
Even if he works not far from the slums, he has to return to the slums in time.
Otherwise, death is likely to await him.
Chen Xiao was trapped in the slums and could not escape this filthy place.
He longed to escape because he desperately wanted to find that person.
But he dared not leave the slum, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that he would never see that person again after he died.
Torn by inner turmoil, Chen Xiao grew increasingly gloomy and despondent.
Even when faced with torture from other enemies, he could not muster the desire to resist.
He didn't know what the meaning of his existence in this world was.
But whenever Chen Xiao wanted to die, a voice in his brain frantically stopped him: "You can't die, do you hear me? You must find Zhizhi and bring her back."
Yes.
He knew that the person had a nickname, Zhizhi.
Chen Xiao ultimately didn't dare to actually die.
But at the same time, a sense of resentment arose in his heart.
Why should he have to find her?
Why doesn't she come to find me?
Has she already forgotten him?
Perhaps he has already been abandoned by the other party in this dirty world.
As his resentment grew, a twisted idea gradually emerged in Chen Xiao's mind.
That is to destroy the entire slum.
In that case, will that person come looking for him?
But no sooner had this idea been born than that person actually appeared beside him and protected him.
Yan Ting had no idea that if she had been any later, her lover would have already begun preparing to destroy the world.
Even if she knew, she would probably have no choice but to tolerate it.
Yan Ting is not a simple person.
Most people who grow up in slums are not very normal in temperament.
Her Ah Xiao suffered a lot behind her back.
So even if Chen Xiao grew up in such an environment and became a monster, she probably wouldn't feel scared or strange.
All I feel is heartache.
Ever since sending the gold bricks, Chen Xiao has been like someone who has opened a mechanism, showering Yanting with money and gold.
Yan Ting: "?"
She didn't understand.
"Ah Xiao, I don't need money."
Chen Xiao ignored the advice and continued to spend money.
Yan Ting: "..."
"I really don't need it, I have money."
Chen Xiao was somewhat disappointed: "Does Zhizhi not like my money?"
Yan Ting sighed, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't need it."
Chen Xiao frowned: "Don't you need monetary offerings?"
"Huh??" Yan Ting was a little confused.
"Who told you I need to make offerings?"
Chen Xiao said in a low voice, "You can accept money from that stray dog, why can't you accept mine?"
"Stray dogs?" Yanting was a little confused: "I don't remember having a dog."
Chen Xiao asked, "If it only requires offerings without money, then what is needed?"
"My soul?"
"Or perhaps you're after my... yang energy?"
Yan Ting was shocked: "...What are you talking about?"
She was just an ordinary ghost, not a vengeful spirit that sucks away yang energy!
“If it’s just one,” Chen Xiao said, pulling open his collar to reveal porcelain-white skin, his tone seductive, “you can absorb my yang energy.”
"Sure my foot!" Yan Ting said angrily, and then kissed the boy's soft lips.
The moment he was kissed, Chen Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You fool."
"I don't need offerings."
Yanting bit the boy's lips until they were swollen and red.
"I've been wondering about this ever since. Can you explain to me what 'stray dog' means? I don't know I keep stray dogs."
Chen Xiao subconsciously touched his lips. After a long while, he said in a low, hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I thought you mistook me for someone else."
Yan Ting: "..."
