Chapter 2159 Xiaohei
"……fine."

Guo Shan smiled.

He withdrew his gaze from the direction where Master Xiao left.

He noticed that the strange classmate was also walking in that direction.

Right behind Master Xiao.

He couldn't help but stare at the back of the strange classmate for a while with uncertainty.

Just a coincidence, right?
……

"Shanshan, I saw on the news that there's a food festival going on in the basement of a shopping mall near here. Should we go check it out?"

Guo Shan suggested with a smile.

"Really?"

Guo Shan's eyes lit up.

The little girl was just feeling greedy.

"Ah."

The smile in Guo Shan's eyes became more intense. "Mom is working overtime today, so let's go there for lunch."

"Great."

The girl cheered, "Then brother, let's go."

……

Guo Shanren's sister pulled him across the street.

I couldn't help but share the story of that strange classmate with my sister, "Shanshan, there is a new classmate in our class today."

"Dark skin, like an African."

"Really?"

The girl was surprised, "So dark?"

"He's not really from Africa, is he?"

"No."

Guo Shan shook his head, "His facial features are like those of us Asians."

"I don't know why it's so dark?"

"Is it because I got too much sun during the summer vacation?"

"Pfft~"

The girl couldn't help laughing, "Maybe."

"But summer vacation has been over for several months, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Guo Shan also laughed.

"Besides, he was clearly here for a painting class, but he was holding a pipa in his arms."

"Hey?"

The girl opened her eyes wide.

"Really?"

"What a strange person..."

"Brother, I'll come to your class to see you next time."

“I want to see that person, too.”

"it is good."

"But don't laugh at others."

"Perhaps the pipa is very important to him, so he carries it with him."

"Even if it's important, this is too weird..."

"N-never mind."

"Didn't your teacher or classmates ask him why?"

"No."

"They seemed to be ignoring him."

"Maybe that's why he looks unapproachable?"

"Hmm, that's weird."

“It’s weird no matter how you think about it.”

"Oh, brother, you should have told me just now..."

How come she didn’t see such an obvious person just now?

The girl's somewhat annoyed voice sounded.

It attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Yes, yes, I'm not good."

"Aren't you going to have something delicious?"

"Hehe, that's more like it..."

As the siblings disappeared behind the mall doors, their conversation faded away.

……

Xiao Xiao walked to a secluded place and stopped.

He turned around.

"Well, what should I call you?"

Black Pipa Ghost: ...

"How about calling you Xiao Hei?"

The Black Pipa Ghost twitched his lips.

Still no words.

"Then I'll take it as your consent."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

The corners of the Black Pipa Ghost's eyes also twitched.

……

"How was class?"

Xiao Xiao restrained his expression slightly.

The Black Pipa Ghost was stunned.

Then, it lowered its eyes and looked at the pipa in its arms.

“…Drink~”

Too many people.

And it hates crowded places.

It will make it become irritable.

……

Because it was too concerned about the human scent, it didn't really listen to what humans said.

Later, when I was painting, it also didn't know what to do.

These are things it has never seen before.

There was also a human being who came to talk to it.

Seems to want to help it.

It ignored the other party. Besides...

The black pipa ghost curled his lips.

That idiot, didn’t he notice the strange looks the people around him gave him?

What a slow guy.

……

"Have a drink~"

After all, it is not suitable for human painting classes.

The Black Pipa Ghost's frustration only lasted for a moment.

Soon, it returned to calm.

Originally, he had never thought of asking humans to teach him to paint.

It's one thing that it likes human paintings.

But having humans teach it to draw is another matter.

……

what.

Suddenly realizing something, the Black Pipa Ghost's expression stiffened.

Is it telling a human that it hates humans?

Especially since this human helped it.

……

"is it?"

Don't want humans to teach...

Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

He didn't mind what the Black Pipa Ghost said.

Hate humans...

Didn’t the other party make this clear when we first met?

There are humans who hate monsters, and there are monsters who hate humans.

This is normal.

As long as this dislike does not turn into unwarranted harm, then it is their own business what they think.

……

Xiao Xiao thought of a very suitable teacher who could teach Hei Pipa Gui to paint.

But it is obvious that the other party does not have extra time to teach a student now.

The Black Pipa Ghost also needs some time to relax after the not-so-pleasant learning experience just now.

He smiled.

"If you don't like it, don't do it."

If this affects my love for painting, wouldn't it be a loss?
……

“…Drink~”

The Black Pipa Ghost studied the human's expression for a while without leaving a trace.

No bad emotions were detected.

It pursed its lips.

Then he responded softly.

……

The Black Pipa Ghost suddenly reacted.

Did this human come to see it today just to check on its attendance in class?

"After all, it was me who suggested you come here to take classes."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

"So I want to see if my advice can really help you."

As it turned out, his advice did not help the monster.

……

“…Drink~”

Thank you.

The Black Pipa Ghost felt the kindness of this human.

Although it doesn't like humans, it is not an ungrateful monster.

……

"You're welcome."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "After all, we are so destined to meet."

The Black Pipa Ghost opened his mouth.

It subconsciously wondered how it could have a connection with a human being?
However, after a few seconds, it closed its mouth.

The corners of the mouth slowly rise.

He gave a not very obvious smile.

……

"Have a drink~"

I am leaving.

The black pipa ghost turned his head away.

Some people feel a little uncomfortable with their mood at the moment.

This was the first time it had spent such a long time with a human being.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, "Goodbye, Xiao Hei."

The Black Pipa Ghost didn't react to this name at first.

Then I remembered that this name was given to it by the human in front of me.

it:……

What an ugly name.

Even though I despise it...

"Have a drink~"

Goodbye.

The Black Pipa Ghost turned around.

It's just a name.

Whatever this human calls him.

……

After watching the Black Pipa Ghost's back disappear into the crowd, Xiao Xiao turned around.

Between the two options of taking a taxi and walking back to school, he decisively chose to take a taxi.

If he walked back, he was worried that some monster would be tempted by the smell of food.
