Chapter 1018 Literal meaning

"Have you encountered anything strange recently?"

Xiao Xiao ignored the woman's glare and said calmly, "Or did you eat something strange?"

"Did you meet any strange people?"

"Have it?"

Xiao Xiao's series of questions stunned everyone present.

The woman paused, and looked at Xiao Xiao strangely, "What do you mean?"

"What's strange or not?"

"I don't quite understand what you want to ask?"

"literal meaning."

Xiao Xiao's words made the woman subconsciously roll her eyes.

literal meaning?
"What? Are you a detective?"

The girl's tone was not good, "These are all my privacy, right?"

"none of your business?"

"Do you want to die?"

Xiao Xiao asked in a calm tone something that left everyone dumbfounded.

His tone was so natural, as if he was just asking a daily greeting like "Have you eaten today?"

The woman's pupils dilated instantly.

I was so surprised that I couldn't say anything for a while.

Her lips trembled slightly.

This... this guy... what does this mean? !

……

The performance of the female companions was not much better.

The main reason is that this sentence came too suddenly.

Besides, this young man doesn't look like someone who would say such a thing.

A refreshing scent of books.

His expressionless face at this moment revealed a bit of coldness and indifference.
No longer as gentle as before.

This kind of second-year dialogue that can only be found in TV dramas... was said by the other party in a nonchalant manner.

It was like... he was serious.

……

Zhang Bo and his companions were no less shocked than the woman and her companions.

Did the third brother take the wrong medicine today?

This was the first thought that flashed through their minds.

But soon, they reached out and rubbed their cheeks, looked at each other, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in their eyes.

Because they had been with Xiao Xiao for a long time, after the initial shock, they realized something was wrong.

They knew that Xiao Xiao was not the kind of person who would say such things.

At least, he wouldn't say such things for no reason.

Now that you've said it... then there must be a reason for it.

"Do you want to die?"

They repeated Xiao Xiao's question in their hearts and looked at the woman with a scrutinizing look in their eyes.

What happened to her?

……

"you-"

The woman finally spoke, her face showing a fierce smile, and her low tone clearly told everyone that she was unhappy. "Are you provoking me?"

"Kids nowadays are really poisoned by TV dramas. They say all kinds of stupid things."

"who do you think You Are?"

"what!"

The woman screamed as if to vent her anger, then rubbed her hair hard.

She glared at Xiao Xiao, her face full of annoyance, "Boy, I think you want to die, right?"

"Although I am a woman, I am not someone you can easily mess with."

The woman's mouth curled into a "kind" arc, "I see you don't know how to respect your elders at all."

"Sister will be kind enough to teach you."

……

"Xiao Zhao!"

The short-haired woman was so frightened by the woman's words that she immediately hugged the woman's arm tightly, "Calm down, calm down."

"Impulse is the devil."

"and-"

The other side are four big boys.

The short-haired woman looked nervous, and her voice was distorted and out of tune.

……

"and many more."

The man with black-framed glasses stretched out his hand to stop the woman from running away. He pushed up his glasses with one hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with the other. He felt completely confused and his temples were throbbing uncomfortably.

What kind of bizarre development is this?

He had no idea how things had turned out like this. "Xiao Zhao, don't get excited."

"Let's get things straight first."

He looked at Xiao Xiao and tried to pull the corners of his mouth, "Little brother, can you explain what you just said?"

The other party had clearly stated that he would not pursue the matter and had already planned to leave.

What did he mean by suddenly turning around and saying such a misleading sentence?
"If you are still angry about the offense my friend took against you today-"

After thinking about it, he could come up with this as the only reason.

As expected, he is a student and cannot stand any kind of humiliation.

But isn’t this a bit too cautious?
What's wrong with a few words from a girl? It won't hurt.

Do you want to die just because you threaten the other person like this...

Is it too much of a fuss?
……

"No."

Xiao Xiao interrupted the man with black-framed glasses' guess.

"I asked literally."

"literal meaning?"

Everyone said in unison.

What does "Do you want to die" literally mean?
Why? !

"wait-"

The short-haired woman exclaimed, "Then..."

"You mean—"

The short-haired woman hesitantly expressed her understanding, "Xiao Zhao is in danger?!"

Did she understand correctly?

Is this what the other party meant?

But, how is it possible? !
Everything is fine, how could Xiao Zhao be in danger?
Could this person be cursing Xiao Zhao?

……

"Little brother, can you explain it in more detail?"

The man with the black-framed glasses pinched his nose bridge again. Things were really getting weirder and weirder.

“We don’t quite understand.”

"What danger did Xiao Zhao encounter?"

"Isn't she here well now?"

……

"Answer my previous question first."

Xiao Xiao looked at the woman.

The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when she was stared at by her three companions, "Xiao Zhao!"

"No way? Do you really believe what this guy says?"

The woman looked incredulous, "He's obviously talking nonsense, right?"

How come someone who is usually quite clever is so dumb today?

……

"It doesn't hurt to listen first."

The man with black-framed glasses was not moved by the woman's words.

"Uh-huh."

The short-haired woman and the other man nodded.

It is impossible to say that they completely believed what the young man said.

They are all people who have entered society, and they are not so naive yet.

Moreover, the other party's words were too incomprehensible.

But, "What reason did he have to lie to us?"

Before today, they had never met each other.

The conflict between him and the woman was just a minor friction.

"who knows?"

"Maybe he was just trying to play a trick on me."

The woman curled her lips.

……

"I'm not that bored."

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "If your life wasn't in danger, I wouldn't mind you learning a lesson from this."

After all, he wasn't that good-tempered about the woman's accusations against him.

However, since human lives are involved, this is not the time to throw tantrums.

Some questions need to be asked clearly.

For example, the source of the poisoning.

Otherwise, he had just helped her detoxify, but she might be poisoned again in the same place later.

He couldn't keep an eye on her all the time.

Now that we have decided to take action, it is better to "cut the grass at its roots" and prevent future troubles.
