"Soul Searching Spirit, why did he flee?" asked Fanxing.
"Soul Searching Spirit, can't you answer my question?" Fanxing dragged her feet back home slowly.
Soul Searching Spirit didn't respond, so she asked every few minutes.
A simple-minded person could be really stubborn. This unyielding spirit of hers was infuriating. Hadn't she considered the fact that it had no wish to answer her?
She only wanted answers.
'He might be too touched.' Soul Searching Spirit was forced to salvage Qi He's dignity.
What else could it do? It couldn't possibly tell Fanxing that Qi He was embarrassed or bashful, could it? If it had said so, she would have asked why he was embarrassed.
Then it would have had to explain about the relationship between a man and a woman. It would have needed to start from how a man and a woman met, to how they fell in love, and perhaps to tell her about the chemical reactions during this process?
Miss Yin Mingzhu was supposed to be the one to be offered to God of War. Miss Fanxing was simply… too simple-minded!
She was totally unpresentable!
It was ideal that she remained guileless and unknowing of such matters. If she understood, she might develop improper feelings or expectations towards God of War.
"Oh."
So he had fled because he was touched.
After Fanxing had gotten this answered, she tilted her head as she mulled over it.
She came to a conclusion.
Little flower, Qi He was really adorable.
Especially the way he ran.
…
Qi Muwu and Qi Sheng didn't stay for long in this town. They had been too used to leading a luxurious life, and this rural countryside was literally like a prison to them.
Qi He discovered that he wasn't as sad or upset as he had expected.
He had no family left.
He knew it.
From today onwards, he would no longer acknowledge that Qi Muwu was his father.
It should be a sorrowful and grim matter. But when he went home to wash his clothes, he realized that he wasn't feeling sad.
Instead, he carefully touched Fanxing's clothes.
A girl's clothes were really soft…
It was really soft. He felt like wearing— Shit!
Qi He had assumed that he would be venting his anger and lashing out at everyone after Qi Muwu had given up on him. He should be feeling miserable and livid. And then he would carry this bag of burning hatred with him as he trudged on his path in life.
But now, Qi He felt that he should be planning his future wisely.
Not because of hatred.
But rather…
He felt that the little idiot, Yun Fanxing, was really worrying. She was an idiot, and her family couldn't accept her. What could she possibly do in the future?
They had lived together for some time, and they were classmates back in high school too, and even now. He treated her like a sister, and there was nothing wrong with that, right?
As a brother, there was nothing wrong with pondering about his sister's future occasionally, right?
This was a deed of kindness!
Qi He had tried to deceive himself, and the more he thought, the more logical it sounded.
He would treat her as his sister!
For his or the little idiot's sake, he should get into a university.
The burden of another person's future on Qi He's shoulders weighed him down considerably.
He had thought that he could continue to do whatever he wished while using his results to trash the others.
However, he had accidentally overheard their classmates gossiping about Fanxing. From then on, Qi He couldn't continue to behave recklessly.
"Hey, what do you think Yun Fanxing is going to do in the future? Her brain isn't normal."
"What else can she do? Once she is eighteen, she will randomly grab an old man to marry."
