Chapter 230 Painful Heart, Gentle and Shy Monster

"Xiao Xiao, you are really amazing!"

Winnie looked at Xiao Xiao with sparkling eyes and a look of admiration.

"It's really amazing!"

"Luckily you caught it. At that moment, when I realized that I didn't hold the child's hand, I was stunned and my mind went blank."

"terrible."

"If something really happened to the child, I would definitely not be able to forgive myself."

As Winnie spoke, moisture appeared in her eyes, and it seemed as if tears would flow down her watery eyes in the next second.

Seeing this, Gu Youxuan and Mu Yan hugged Winnie from both sides and patted her shoulders comfortingly.

Winnie lowered her head sharply, her shoulders trembling a little.

She was really scared. Thinking that a young life might disappear in her hands, her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The weight of life was too heavy for her to bear.

Her fingers bent convulsively, and it seemed that the slightly cool and damp feeling at that time still lingered on her fingertips.

“Tick, tick, tick.”

Tears seeped out from between her fingers covering her eyes and fell to the ground.

……

"Nini, don't cry."

"Nini, you did a great job."

"Winnie, you are amazing."

……

Gu Youxuan and others began to comfort the girl who was obviously a little frightened. Xiao Xiao spontaneously took a few steps back to make room for them.

However, the gentle comfort from others made Winnie even more unable to control her emotions.

She lowered her head and cried uncontrollably.

……

"Hey, Third Brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Bo nudged Xiao Xiao's arm with his elbow.

"Yes, Third Brother, you have the most say."

After all, it was Xiao Xiao who made up for Winnie's "mistake". If it weren't for Xiao Xiao's quick reaction, Winnie would have been a step slower.

"Third brother."

Zhao Lu was a little overwhelmed as it was the first time he saw a girl crying at such a close distance.

……

"understood."

Even though he is not very good at comforting people and does not like to comfort people, is there a causal relationship between them? Xiao Xiao does not know.

However, he slowly took a step forward, and Gu Youxuan and Mu Yan beside Winnie, as well as Miao Weiwei, Shan Fangze, and Zhou Zhou looked up at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao ignored their gazes and just looked at Winnie who was sobbing with her head down.

"Winnie, you did the best you could."

Although sometimes doing your best is of no use, the fact is, if Xiao Xiao and Zhu Gan had not been here today, the child might have died on the spot.

However, there are no ifs.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyelids slightly. Now that the result was good, he shouldn't think too much about it.

With a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Xiao watched Winnie wipe her face a few times, then raised his head. Even though his eyes were red and he looked a little embarrassed, there was a different look on his face, and there was some determination between his brows.

"I won't make the same mistake again."

Winnie clenched her hands at her sides. She was a student at the Public Security University, and her performance today was really disappointing.

She knew that she was nervous and it was right to be cautious, but the situation was time-sensitive. She knew that the child could not hold on for much longer, but she still allowed herself to slow down a little because of some hidden fear in her heart. No, it was not accurate to say that she slowed down. She just did not use all her strength and climb up as fast as possible.

Because of her own cowardice, she failed to save the life she could have saved!
It's really ugly.

She laughed at herself in her heart.

There was a burning pain in the corner of my eye.

Maybe she wiped her tears too roughly before, and the skin at the corners of her eyes was broken.

"Ah."

"Nini, this is your first time facing this kind of situation, so it's inevitable that you may behave abnormally."

"Winnie..."

……

Seeing Winnie cheer up, Gu Youxuan and the others also smiled and cheered for Winnie. Xiao Xiao looked up at the beacon tower.

The ganas sit upright with their long tails wrapped around their bodies.

The interlaced fangs flashed a cold and eerie light in the sunlight.

There was a bloody look in his single eye, and his gaze was cold.

Noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, Zhu Gan looked up at the red sun and turned his eyes to Xiao Xiao.

His eyes were like swords and his face was ferocious.

It really doesn't look like a good monster.

But, he really is a... gentle monster.

Xiao Xiao faced the light and gently curled the corners of his mouth towards Zhu Gan.

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao said silently.

"Old Three, let's go."

Zhang Bo shouted.

"Old Three, what are you looking at?"

Zhuge Yun put his arm around Xiao Xiao's shoulders and followed Xiao Xiao's gaze, which was the beacon tower from before.

"Oh, well, Third Brother, stop looking back at your great achievements. Let's go."

Xiao Xiao didn't explain anything, and finally looked up at Zhu Qian on the top of the beacon tower.

The monster's single eye drifted and turned.

He looked up and down, but didn't meet Xiao Xiao's gaze.

The curve of Xiao Xiao's mouth couldn't help but deepen a little, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Zhugan, it turns out that he is a shy monster.

"Goodbye."

Xiao Xiao opened his mouth slightly and spoke silently.

Afterwards, he did not look at Zhu Gan's expression again, but followed the pace of the main force and left.

……

After descending Jinshanling and solving the lunch problem, Xiao Xiao and his party headed back home.

Shan Fangze and Zhou Zhou first sent Xiao Xiao and others back to the alley where they were first picked up.

However, after Gu Youxuan got off the car and said she wanted to stay with her cousin for a while, the other girls and two boys also stayed.

So, in the end, the group sat in Xiao's Teahouse again.

Because there were too many people, they chose a private room on the second floor this time.

There was only one person left in the box, and that was Xue Shier.

"Xiao Xiao, the name of the private room in your teahouse sounds nice."

"Yeah, the snow lion is cute."

"Thank you."

"A Branch of Spring, Summer Comes, Autumn Wind, Snow Lion, these are all names of ci tunes, right?"

"Yes."

……

Several girls surrounded Xiao Xiao and asked him questions. Even Zhang Bo was left aside by his cousin.

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng looked at each other in silence and shrugged helplessly.

But it’s also true that when they first came to Xiao’s Teahouse, they were also shocked.

It’s not that it is magnificent, but that it has a rare aura of lightness and dignity.

There are many old objects in the teahouse, and the heritage accumulated over the years is as intoxicating as sandalwood.

There is no excessive noise, only the lingering aroma of tea, the crisp sound of chess pieces falling, and the occasional whispered conversation, creating a leisurely yet quiet atmosphere.

……

Zhuge Yun naturally rubbed against Xiao Xiao, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by girls, and helped Xiao Xiao answer some questions from time to time.

Xiao Xiao didn't mind this, instead he felt relieved.

Zhuge Yun's humorous words always cause girls to laugh.
