The heart-wrenching pain was buried in my heart, but what showed was that forced smile.
Can't cause any more trouble to others...
So, try harder and smile!
It's just that her acting skills are not outstanding when it comes to hiding her emotions——
"Cry if you want to."
"Eh?"
The girl turned her head in surprise, but what she saw was Duolu's clear and pure eyes, and what was reflected in them was the girl's expression that was about to cry.
"My technique is so poor. I put on a smile that is uglier than crying, and everyone can see it."
"Ah, is that so? Is my expression so ugly now? Haha..."
The fleshy little paws of Doromon rested on her shoulders, and the care and warmth conveyed quietly softened the barely-maintained dam.
"Ah, it's so strange. Are these tears? It's obviously not meant to be like this, but I can't stop..."
Even though I had cried once before, the tears still couldn't stop falling.
"..."
Hao Qing felt very uncomfortable about this and wanted to do something, but the person who caused this series of things happened to face him, leaving him completely at a loss as to what to do.
[Tsk, Duolu, I’ll leave it to you here.]
However, thinking that there was someone in front of him who could handle the problem well, he felt very at ease and started to shift the blame.
Unexpectedly, Duolu turned around dexterously to avoid Hao Qing's "inadvertent" push, and then pushed him forward with a backhand.
In fact, Hao Qing was able to hold on to this push, but due to Duolumon's "kind-hearted" addition, he couldn't avoid it and faced the crying girl.
[Things have to take turns, this time it’s your turn, partner~]
[……you!]
Hao Qing wanted to refute the other party, but the flaxen girl had already put her head on his shoulder, and the wetness of the clothes on her shoulders... made him stop talking.
Really, why if it were me, I'm obviously not suitable to do this kind of thing...
A helpless expression appeared on Hao Qing's face. After thinking about it, he still raised his hand. After some hesitation, he reached out and put his hand on the girl's back, as if touching something fragile, gently and cautiously.
, expressing his comfort.
This is probably all I can do now.
After all, I am not her sunshine...
Thinking like this, he could only let nature take its course and let the sadness settle over time.
——————————————————————
["I see. Did you run out at that time because you felt that your father had betrayed you?"
After a pleasant exchange, Hao Qing, who was standing by, took in Xiang's soft and vaguely resentful talk, and said thoughtfully: "Family factors, well, I'm the worst at it.
What type?"
Hearing what he said, Xiang was a little confused: "Hao Qing, you usually spend time with your family..."
"I know what you want to say," before she could finish speaking, Hao Qing raised his hand to stop the topic, and then killed the game with one sentence, "The cause of this matter is very simple - I never had it from the beginning.
Parents, so I have no relevant experience in handling it.”
When he said this, his tone was quite brisk and there was no trace of sadness, but he was shocked by these words.
Could it be that Hao Qing is the same as Little Chrissy and the others...
"Don't get me wrong, my parents died of natural causes. There is no hatred. Although no one adopted them, they still grew up healthily," Hao Qing said while squeezing the last cup of milk tea he had finished.
Then he blew air into it to make it bigger, "So, I'm living a good life now, so don't show any unnecessary sympathy to me."
Even though he said that, Hibiki's obviously sympathetic gaze still stabbed him, causing him to scratch his head in annoyance: "Anyway, don't worry about it so much. It's obvious that your side has been in a very uneventful period recently. Trouble.
It will only be more, not less. If you have any concerns, resolve them quickly and don’t let it affect the battle, it will only get in the way!"
"Hao Qing, aren't you going to fight?"
Hibiki knew he was changing the subject - after all, this way of switching was too abrupt.
But she still obeyed.
After all, she is not a little insect who can unscrupulously dig out the wounds in other people's hearts and turn them inside out.
But let me ask a few more questions... With this level of cunning, she can still do it.
"The only problem I have to deal with is the anomaly of the riots, and your local internal strife has nothing to do with me." Hao Qing first made a serious face, and then he was defeated under Hibiki's "staring~" gaze, "Okay
, in fact, my strength is damaged now and I need time to recover... I can’t fight until then."
Of course, saying this will have unavoidable side effects...
So after saying that, Hao Qing immediately wanted to leave, but was immediately caught by Hibiki's eyes and hands.
"etc!"
"I've said all that I need to say. Just stop here. Your companions are still waiting for you."
Hao Qing said and wanted to break away, but Xiang held his hand tighter.
"no!"
"Why?"
The strength conveyed by the holding hand made Hao Qing frown, and then the stubbornness revealed in the tone of the owner of the hand gave him an extremely headache.
"I can't watch injured people running around!"
"What qualifications do you have to criticize me on this point?"
Trying to divert attention with the same bad words didn't work either.
"Follow me to the second department... no, it's S.O.N.G., please check it out. They are all very good people, and they will definitely find a way to cure you."
Ah, I knew it would be like this...
Staring directly into the persistent golden eyes, Hao Qing knew that he would not be able to leave unless he spoke clearly today: "Don't worry, this is just an excessive consumption of strength. I just need to rest for a while. My body itself will be fine."
There was no damage…”
"Yeah?"
With suspicion, Xiang pinched the suspected injured area on Hao Qing's body. The force was so strong that Hao Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Hiss! You used such force, you'll turn it into an injury even if it's not injured!"
"Hug, sorry."
After hearing this, Hibiki subconsciously let go of his hand, and then someone showed a smile of success, and ran away from Hibiki with a sliding shovel and a lunge.
"Then, see you later, Miss Tachibana Hibiki~"
"Hao Qing!"
Seeing that he was about to run away again, Hibiki was very anxious and chased after him. However, someone was moving very fast and almost disappeared after turning a corner.
"Why, if you have to be alone, why can't you accept other people's kindness..."
Looking at the direction in which he disappeared, Hibiki pursed his face and notified S.O.N.G. of this while searching unwillingly.
The S.O.N.G. also attached great importance to this, and soon organized a search effort - the purpose was very simple, just to find and rescue Hao Qing.
It's just that the result is the same as before. After hiding, this person just disappeared from the world, and no trace can be found at all.
The operation failed as usual, and Hibiki, who was ordered to go back to rest, had to face a personal problem while waiting anxiously——
Her father, Tachibana, wants to find her and talk to her mother... and wants to start over.
(If you have any concerns, resolve them quickly and don’t let them affect the battle. It will only get in the way!)
Even though he was suggested this way, Hibiki was still hesitant about it.
After all, the knots in my heart and the pain I have endured over the years will not be untied so easily.
"Xiang, since he has taken the initiative to come to you, give him another chance... have a good talk. If we can't see you again, it will be too late to regret."
"Well...thank you, Future, I know what to do."
In the end, it was her sunshine that prompted her to make up her mind.]
