After all, he wasn't exactly a good person to begin with. Once freed from the constraints of his physical body, his spirit ran wild like a horse that had broken free of its reins.
Say whatever you think.
The main focus is on having fun!
However, although Xia Yan was amused, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease when he saw Zi.
Being able to change her panties under Xia Yan's gaze had already pushed the tension in her head to its limit.
Xia Yan's comments made the string seem about to snap, as if it could no longer bear the weight.
Ding--!
Just when Jianzi thought she was about to move to Bengbu, the microwave's timer beeping in the kitchen brought her back to reality.
Chapter 242 Xia Yan's Thousand Layers of Schemes
"Oh dear, the bento I just heated up seems to be running out of time! I'll wash it after I finish eating..."
It was as if they had grasped at some kind of lifeline.
Jianzi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and forced a somewhat naive and innocent smile onto her face.
She walked towards the kitchen as if fleeing.
But she seemed to have forgotten that the root of her guilt and panic was not the bedroom she had fled from, but the evil spirit Xia Yan possessing her.
"Hey, hey, you were talking to me normally before you got on the bus, but now you're pretending you don't know anything. What's the point?"
Seeing the forced smile on Zi's face, which was meant to make him look stupid, completely froze him.
The shame that had been forcibly suppressed erupted again with Xia Yan's words.
Along with it came the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.
The fear of seeing evil spirits, the despair of being trapped in a car by more than ten evil spirits and almost dying, and the injustice of encountering all of this for no reason...
A mix of emotions erupted, like a flash flood, completely out of control.
Although she is still a minor, a high school girl's breakdown can often happen in an instant.
Seeing Zi slowly kneel down on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
It wasn't a loud, desperate cry, but a silent tear.
"Why me...?"
Seeing that Zi had once again asked the same question before, her voice trembling and filled with tears.
At this moment, Miko looked more heartbreakingly broken, appearing quite pitiful. She had completely lost the bitter feeling she had before, and her entire demeanor had become much more serious.
"I think this question has already been answered before."
Xia Yan's expectations remained casual, sounding quite mocking.
"Even if you ask again, I'll just repeat my previous answer, which is completely pointless. I think you might as well accept your fate..."
"Shut up--!"
Instead of choosing to escape or ignore it again, before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Jian Zi suddenly interrupted him.
It's not that he's arrogant because he's been favored; it's more like he's given up on himself.
"I'm just an ordinary person! I didn't do anything! Why do these things have to happen to me?!"
"I just want to live a normal life! I just want to be like I used to be!"
"Why did it turn out like this?!"
This time, Jianzi completely lost control of her emotions. Her tone was no longer weak; it was a questioning, venting outburst.
It carries a sense of unyielding integrity and a detached attitude towards life and death.
It was clear that he was preparing to give his last shout with his life.
However, it's impossible for Xia Yan to actually do anything to Jian Zi.
After all, Jianzi is so cute.
Xia Yan never intended to really hurt Jianzi.
I was just enjoying teasing her, watching her make all sorts of expressions, and gradually giving in until she willingly let me pose her in all sorts of ways.
Now, this heartbroken and devastated expression CG is one of the types he wants to collect.
and,
Since you've teased your own cat until it's all puffed up, you'll have to soothe it yourself.
Would someone really provoke a cat to the point of agitation, and then blame the cute cat?
Moreover, Jianzi is one of a kind.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan spoke up.
"If you insist on pretending to be like an ordinary person and living a normal life, I can also pretend I don't exist and cooperate with your disregard."
He spoke in a gentle tone, without a trace of his previous jest and nonchalance, but rather with a seriousness.
It even gave Miko a feeling of being healed.
"However, you had already encountered evil spirits before you met me."
"Even if I cooperate with you, these are already established facts, and running away won't change anything."
"That's good! Just this is enough! Please! Don't disrupt my life anymore!"
Seeing that Zi couldn't wait to speak.
Her tone was both excited and somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Xia Yan to say such a thing.
"Yeah……"
"In that case, I understand. Let's make a deal—"
“From now on, I will remain silent and you will not notice. You can completely pretend I don’t exist. However, I will no longer actively help or protect you. If you encounter any danger, you can call my name.”
"But by then, you will have to acknowledge my existence, and the help will not be free; I will ask you for payment."
Xia Yan said in a calm and gentle tone.
After regaining some goodwill, he didn't plan to provoke Jianzi any further.
"Really!"
After hearing Xia Yan's words, Jian Zi eagerly sought confirmation, her large golden eyes still misty, like stars obscured by the morning fog.
This time, however, the voice she would never forget did not respond to her.
It seems as if everything that happened before was just a nightmare.
Clearly, Xia Yan has fulfilled his promise and started playing dead.
Once she understood this, Jianzi immediately relaxed, and the tearful expression on her face turned into a relieved smile.
"Thank you, thank you..."
When he saw that Jianzi actually thanked him, Xia Yan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It seems the training process is already halfway complete.
On the surface, this seems to be a very fair agreement.
But in reality, it was a trap set by Xia Yan.
It's like when a child falls down; if you leave him alone, he'll get up on his own and gradually become stronger.
However, if you go over to comfort the child immediately, the child will cry loudly instead.
After that, every time she fell, she would naturally try to attract the adults' attention by crying.
Xia Yan's promise is equivalent to adding a "parent" role to Jianzi, who was originally helpless and could only become strong through repeated trials.
Instead of helping Miko grow, it will lower her threshold when facing evil spirits.
After all, once a person has someone to rely on, they can no longer bear everything on their own.
Whenever Jianzi encounters any crisis, he will naturally fall into his hands.
All Xia Yan had to do was wait quietly.
Anyway, this girl is destined to encounter all sorts of terrifying things, and she will fall into his hands sooner or later, so Xia Yan is naturally not in a hurry.
Chapter 243 The second hour after leaving Xia Yan, I miss him!
The night was dark and moonless.
The rain outside the window has been pattering for two hours.
The heavy rain was still falling, and Jianzi was terrified.
It's not that she's already sixteen years old and would be afraid of being home alone, or afraid of the dark, or afraid of thunder or the like.
What she feared was something more metaphysical.
such as--
Evil spirits and such...
"Can you see it?"
"Can you see it?"
Hearing the familiar question from behind, Yotsuya Miko didn't move an inch.
They didn't even dare to blink.
I could only pretend that I knew nothing and that nothing had happened, staring blankly at myself in the mirror.
He also observed the terrifying thing standing next to him through the mirror.
He wore a plain dark suit, a dark blue tie, and a white shirt underneath. Judging from his attire alone, he looked like an ordinary office worker.
It seems to be just like those who get up at 5:30 every morning, rush to wash up and get dressed without having time for breakfast.
