Chapter 2257: The Signature and the Noble

But just as it took him so long to discover the root cause of the problem, he was too stupid.

The man had no idea what to do to get everything back to normal.

He once naively thought.
As long as he finds out the reason, as long as he knows how to hide his own specialness, then everything will naturally return to the beginning.

result……

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

……

“I also know that I am not in a good state.”

The man pursed his lips.

Sometimes when he looked at himself in the mirror, he felt like a mental patient.

For this purpose, he even broke many mirrors.

Until now, he doesn't like looking in the mirror.

"I'm afraid of my family, afraid of strangers..."

When he saw the word "social phobia" on TV one day, he suddenly realized that he was socially phobic.

In fact, he knew that he should see a psychiatrist because of his condition.

However, the hospital left a huge shadow on him.

He hates hospitals.

He hates doctors.

He hated nurses.

He hates everything about hospitals!
He had no way of getting to the hospital.

Even though he was just a psychiatrist, he couldn't help but feel disgusted and repulsed both physically and mentally.

……

He knew he couldn't do that.

He tried to get himself out of the house.

In addition to the gathering at home -
What kept him hopeful that his relationship with his family could return to normal was...

His mother would call him for every gathering at home.

Although even if he went, he would just eat his meal in silence.

Seeing everyone else enjoying themselves, he felt like an outsider, and he was sad.

But overall, he was happy.

If one day, they don’t even invite him to a family dinner, he will be really desperate.

He also goes out to buy things.

For example, there are candies that are only available in certain stores.

Maybe his life was already hard enough, so it seemed natural for him to like candy.

The sweet taste in his mouth could numb him temporarily.

It made him feel that his life wasn't that bad.

……

"You seem to have a good relationship with your niece?"

Xiao Xiao thought of how the child had smiled happily at the man before.

Not at all like her mother's distant and defensive attitude towards men.

……

"……Um."

Thinking of his niece, the man's expression softened.

“Jia Jia…”

"She's just like me."

……

same?
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "She also..."

"Ah."

The man nodded slightly.

That day……

The little guy saw the monster and was delighted to approach it.

He was stopped.

He was terrified.

There was not even time to be surprised or surprised.

He hurriedly persuaded the child with both soft and hard tactics, and in a somewhat forceful way, made the child promise not to let others know that she could see monsters.

This is a secret that belongs only to him and her.

Even so, he was still worried.

How could such a young child understand the seriousness of the matter?
He didn't want the child to follow in his footsteps.

This child would softly call him uncle, hold his hand, and let him play with her...

Even though her elder brother and sister-in-law always told her not to get close to them, the little one would still smile widely and run towards him every time she saw her.

Because of this child, he no longer felt so uncomfortable when he returned home.

This is his niece.

He will protect her well.

……

However, his frequent closeness to his niece made his sister-in-law more wary of him.

He couldn't help but look down at the palm of his hand.

A faint scar was left where it was scratched before.

Thinking of how his sister-in-law had pushed him away rudely before, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Sister-in-law...really doesn't like him.

In fact, considering his elder brother and sister-in-law's views on him, he has not taken the initiative to get close to his niece. He doesn't want his niece to be blamed by her parents because of him.

Even so, his elder brother and sister-in-law didn't look at him in a good mood at all.

However, he couldn't really stay away from his niece. He had to watch over the child and remind her... not to forget their agreement.

When the child grows up a little, he will understand his difficulties and he will no longer worry so much.

"JiaJia is special."

The man murmured.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, "You also know me."

“I think we get along pretty well.”

……

The man's mouth opened slightly.

Student Xiao...

Then he rubbed his cheeks and said, "It was Xiao who always helped me..."

“Just now, too.”

"terribly sorry."

"I was so ignorant that I doubted you..."

He just didn't quite believe it.

Why did I meet such a kind person?
He never had such luck.

He couldn't help but doubt the other party's motives.

But soon he found his own doubts ridiculous.

Is there anything about him that is worth the other party going to such great lengths to plot against him?
He obviously has nothing.

……

If you have nothing, how can you lose anything?
What is he wary of?
He really takes himself too seriously.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

“I also think we are very compatible.”

……

The man couldn't help laughing.

"Yes."

"Student Xiao, I have asked for a fortune in the temple before."

"The fortune says I will meet a noble person."

"What I pray for will also turn around."

"Although reason tells me that the so-called signature is just some specious words."

“It’s unbelievable.”

“But I am willing to believe it in my heart.”

"Or rather, I hope what the signature says is true."

"did not expect……"

“It really is true what it says.”

The man smiled with some emotion, "I really met a noble person."

"Student Xiao, you are my benefactor."

……

"Noble?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "You are too serious."

"I didn't do anything."

On the contrary, because of Feifei, the man was reminded of unpleasant memories.

……

"Do not."

The man shook his head, looking serious, "Student Xiao, you are my benefactor."

"You really, really helped me a lot."

"I'm not good at speaking, and I don't know how to thank you."

"This is the first time... that someone is willing to listen to me..."

"…You didn't distance yourself from me because of what others said."

“I’ve always hoped that someone would listen to me…”

……

Perhaps because he had too much to say, the man's words became incoherent and repetitive.

The man was unaware.

"I have kept many things in my heart for too long..."

“I’ve always wanted to tell someone…”

"But I don't dare go to the hospital or see a psychiatrist..."

……

The man talked a lot.

Eyes drooped.

More like talking to oneself.

……

Xiao Xiao listened quietly.

What the man said was confusing, but what he heard was not confusing.

The man's situation reminded him of what Old Jiang had told him about the Demon Master Alliance when he first met him.
