"Amazing!"
After listening to his story, Lin Sisi couldn't help showing an expression of surprise and admiration on her face.
"This...do you believe it?"
Seeing her focused look, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but ask.
Lin Sisi was slightly startled, then lowered her head, blushing and whispered: "Well...as long as it's what you say...I believe it..."
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and his old face suddenly became a little confused.
On the one hand, I feel very guilty for having deceived such a blind and innocent girl; on the other hand, I feel that what this girl just said was too lethal, making me, an old bachelor who has been single for twenty-five years, a little unable to control myself.
"God knows I just wanted to tease her, but who knew she would take it all seriously!"
Zhang Xiaoman remembered the words he once mocked Pei Laoliu, and couldn't help but feel helpless: "Shouldn't this kind of nonsense should be treated as a joke?"
Looking at the girl's "I believe whatever you say" look, Zhang Xiaoman naturally didn't want to lie to her anymore, so he abruptly changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, let's talk about you. What do you usually do when you are alone at home? Do any of your former classmates come to play with you?"
Lin Sisi lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "I have been learning how to live before. Aunt Wang also helped me a lot, and even took me to buy a guide dog named Tutu. Ah, it was you before The golden retriever who reminded me to take it to the doctor is still in the pet hospital and will be discharged in two days..."
"I'm learning blind painting recently, and I really want to try the feeling of holding a paintbrush again..." She paused here, and then said a little disappointedly, "As for the other students... no one came to see me... I I have never had any friends..."
Zhang Xiaoman was listening with interest, but he didn't expect that she would say this. He frowned and asked:
"How come you don't have any friends? Do they discriminate against you?"
When Lin Sisi heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's all my own problem. No one has ever discriminated against me..."
After saying that, she lowered her head again and explained: "It's all my fault. I never paid attention to interpersonal communication before. I always felt that as long as I study hard and learn to draw well, I don't need to care about other things..."
"Ah? What's going on?"
Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused and said that he felt that such a beautiful girl, even if she was a bit withdrawn, would not have no friends, at least there would be no shortage of suitors.
Lin Sisi showed a self-deprecating smile on her face and said: "I was actually very bad before... When I was a child, I skipped two grades and went to college early because of my grades. Later, I showed my talent in painting, and everyone praised me as a Genius girl..."
"I have always been complacent about this. I want to be the first in everything. When others come to me to play, I refuse them coldly. At that time, I felt that they were wasting my time... As time goes by, everyone became They no longer paid attention to me, and I was happy and free, immersed in that false complacency alone..."
When she said this, she couldn't help but shed tears on her face: "It wasn't until later that I had a car accident, my parents died, and I couldn't see them anymore. Everything in the past was just gone... The long-term darkness and Loneliness made me understand how stupid and ignorant I was before..."
Zhang Xiaoman felt very uncomfortable when he saw her crying. He reached out and took out a tissue and handed it to her, comforting:
"Don't be sad, it's all over. It's not your fault. I failed the exams before, and I haven't received the kind of treatment I want from you... Don't worry, if you feel bored in the future, or if you need any help, Just call me.”
Lin Sisi took the tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, then whispered: "Thank you, Xiaoman... Brother, you are the only friend I have met after losing my light... Well, maybe it was the same before..."
She said, sniffing her nose again.
"Brother Xiaoman...can I call you that...you smell so good, like sunshine, warm...can I...touch your face?"
Zhang Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed by what she said. He heard this girl's request again. Although he didn't understand what she wanted to do, he still hummed softly.
After hearing this, Lin Sisi slowly stretched out her hand and gently caressed Zhang Xiaoman's face, her big eyes filled with joy and expectation.
"I'm learning blind painting. I want to draw what you look like. If it doesn't look good then, don't be angry..."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and responded softly. He felt the other party's warm little hand across his face, and said in his heart that it was absolutely impossible not to have an idea.
However, when it comes to relationships, he is still relatively restrained and conservative, otherwise he would not have been in love even once. He felt that if it were Brother Haohan, a veteran in love, he would have won him over with just a few words.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Xiaoman turned to look at the progress of the sand soldiers in cleaning up the house. The order he gave them at that time was to "restore the hall to its original state."
"Fuck! What are you doing!?"
When Zhang Xiaoman saw them, he suddenly became a little uneasy. He saw that these two guys were concentrating on using the monster's broken shell to piece together its original appearance.
Lin Sisi was startled by him and hurriedly asked about the situation.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that the two guys I summoned are too stupid. Let me give them some pointers." Zhang Xiaoman explained.
Lin Sisi chuckled, but didn't say anything else.
Zhang Xiaoman quickly looked at the hall again. Fortunately, although these two guys were rigid, they were still quite reliable in their work. The room had been tidied up by now, and even the positions and angles of the items were completely different from before. Worse, except for the furniture that had been damaged in the fight just now, the entire hall was magically restored to its previous appearance.
After leading Lin Sisi to familiarize herself with the slightly changed environment, and telling her about the location of the potholes on the ground caused by the summoning of sand soldiers, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the time and prepared to go back.
The duration of the two sand soldiers was obviously almost up. Zhang Xiaoman directed them to the yard, then waved his hand to cancel the summons. Then he said goodbye to Lin Sisi and found a dark alley outside. Hearthstone is back.
At home, Zhang Xiaoman immediately changed his clothes and took a shower.
There was nothing he could do. When he was killing the monster just now, a lot of the monster's green-yellow blood was splashed on him. It made him feel uncomfortable if he didn't wash it off.
Finally, after finishing a series of things, Zhang Xiaoman had time to take stock of today's gains.
