Kissing Por

"Corría el rumor de que Qiao Xi tenía una constitución débil —una belleza enfermiza. Corría el rumor de que gastaba una fortuna todos los días en medicamentos, comiéndolos como si fueran caramelos. Corría el rumor de que diez sirvientes la asistían en su cama todos los días —una carga para todos. Todos esperaban que la familia Qiao devolviera a Qiao Xi al campo y la dejara valerse por sí misma. —Todos dicen que soy débil y no puedo cuidarme a mí misma. Al parecer, también gasto dinero de manera imprudente —dijo Qiao Xi. Miró su camisa desgarrada y estaba exasperada. —¿Estás diciendo que esta familia rica permite que su hija use ropa desgarrada todos los días? —preguntó Qiao Xi. ¿La hija rica de la familia Qiao? ¡Ya tenía suficiente! ¡No lo volvería a ser! Por lo tanto… —Sin la familia Qiao, no eres nada —dijo el chico canalla. —Si me echan de la familia Qiao, estaré acabada —asintió Qiao Xi. —Hermana, no te desanimes demasiado. Mientras trabajas duro, algún día serás alabada —lamentó la chica canalla. —Cállate, no conozco a una traidora como tú —replicó Qiao Xi. El chico y la chica canallas: —¿?¿? Se decía que el hijo más joven de la familia Gu, Gu Zheng, se casó precipitadamente con una mujer que no tenía nada más que su apariencia. —¿Alguien me está subestimando? —dijo Qiao Xi. Un día, Qiao Xi vio a uno de los empleados de Gu Zheng devanándose los sesos con una serie de números en la pantalla del ordenador. Como estaba libre, decidió echar una mano. ¿Acaba de romper el cortafuegos creado por los esfuerzos conjuntos de los hackers de élite más destacados?! Gu Zheng se acercaba cada vez más a ella —Qiao Xi, ¿qué más me estás ocultando? ¿Hmm? —¡Oh, no! ¡Me siento mareada otra vez! Soy tan débil. Este cuerpo mío es simplemente demasiado débil —se lamentó Qiao Xi."

Siempre que leía mangas o novelas sobre aventureros siendo expulsados del grupo del héroe legendario.... Siempre pensé... ¿Por qué desprecian, humillan y expulsan a una persona que en teoría y practica era útil?

Y pensé, que tal si escribo una historia con esa premisa tan cliché. Este es el resultado ojala lo disfruten!
