I held onto the wooden tablet in my hands. There was a young ghost that followed behind me, feeling conflicted. Luanyang still didn't tell me what to do, and just said a few words before letting me out.
The scar on his face was the obsession in his heart.
Do you want me to find the person who cut his face?
Such a thought flashed through his mind. After all, that person should have been killed by the youth.
"What's your name?" Other than the fact that his face was a little scary, there was nothing else that could scare the young man, even though he had almost died at his hands.
The youth only spoke after a long while, "Xie Wu, but I don't want to call you by that name. It's fine if you change it."
What was surprising was that the youth's voice was especially pleasant to hear. It didn't have the hoarse voice of a mature man, nor the sharp voice of an adolescent. It carried a refreshing flavor.
"I didn't expect your words to be like this. I thought they were exactly the same as when you were trying to kill me!"
The young man's body stopped and he immediately kneeled on the ground. Although it was silent, it still gave me a fright.
"What are you doing?"
The youth pursed his lips and moved the scar across his face, "Please forget about what happened before. I won't hurt you, so if you're unhappy, you can hit me to vent your anger. Anyway, I won't have a real death right now."
His voice was very low, as if he was used to it. It carried a bit of numbness, but also a bit of sadness.
I took a few steps forward, opened the door to my room, and looked back at him.
That's why I hate people like them the most. It's really pitiful and hateful. The point is, the hateful part has already been moved to the next stage, and now there's only pitiful people left.
Xie Wu hesitated, but in the end, he still stepped into my room. He seemed very restrained, only bundling himself up into a ball and then kneeling down.
I extended my hand to take out a wooden tablet and softly said, "I don't care how you were before. Now, you only have the same surname as me, right? Bai Zhen, I think it's pretty good."
Bai Zhen was stunned at first, but soon after, he cautiously asked. "Um, aren't you going to punish my mother? After all, I've already done the wrong thing? "
"Punishment? "When you were at home, how did it go?"
I had a bad feeling that he was eventually sold to a man, but his fear and resentment of women seemed greater.
Bai Zhen's face showed some confusion, but he immediately said in a very mechanical tone, "Mother said I'm a monster. If you don't let me eat, you'll hit me, and if you hit me, your mood will change a little. That woman said I'm just a toy and only fit to carry her shoes, but later on she said that I'm a fox spirit, and that I deserve punishment. She said that it was because of this body that I was abandoned by my parents."
When I heard the content, my heart tightened and only anger remained in my head.
Although he had long anticipated that it would be very miserable, he hadn't expected it to be like this. It was as if he hadn't received any kind of kindness since he was born.
The tragic end had already been decided.
Alright, those are all matters of Xie Wu. Now that you're Bai Zhen, you should remember every single one of my words. You're my bodyguard, and you're one of my people.
I waved my hand. I didn't want to hear any more of those annoying things.
Bai Zhen nodded his head and instantly transformed into smoke, hiding within the wooden signboard.
However, all that I dreamt the entire night was about Bai Zhen's past. The shared emotional reaction between him and I had never come to an end. One ugly face after another continuously rotated back and forth.
As a result, when I woke up the next day, I looked a bit dispirited, and I nearly dropped my bowl on the floor when I ate.
Although Feng Ming's injury had not healed yet, it did not hinder his eating. Seeing my current state, he looked over with some doubt, "Sister Bai, what's wrong with you? This is an antique rice bowl. If you break it, you'll have to compensate yourself. "
"What?" I fell into a trance. In the end, I threw my rice bowl to the ground, and in a flash, it broke into pieces.
Upon seeing this, Ah Zi immediately struck out violently, causing the phoenix cry to ring out loudly.
I looked at the bowl on the floor, a little conflicted. "I don't have a job in the first place. My previous salary is my old account. What should I do?"
"Sister Bai, just listen to his nonsense. How can I ask for your compensation? They are all things of the Bai Clan. She doesn't dare to say anything. Why don't you tell me why she is in such a state!"
Ah Zi quickly lowered his head and picked up the shard. He then gave me a new bowl.
Knowing that there is no need for compensation, I heaved a sigh of relief and told him everything that happened yesterday, thinking of a way to resolve the issue.
Ah Zi frowned and waved his hand, "The fox race has never been clear about soul matters, so I might not be able to help."
Feng Ming fell into deep thought, as if he was carefully thinking about something.
"It's actually very simple. If you have a contract with Bai Zhen, then you can feel his emotions when you respond in such a empathetic manner. If it's what he's thinking, then you'll also have a reaction. As for Teacher's words, you might need to go and find Mister Xie."
"Although, he is not a serious person normally, but this time his analysis is very serious." Ah Zi raised his hand in agreement.
I felt that I said the wrong thing yesterday. If not for that sentence, I probably wouldn't have caused so much of Bai Zhen's emotions to fluctuate.
Because of Feng Ming's words, I rushed to make an appointment with that Mister Xie, but was informed that I didn't have a job, so I had no choice but to go to yesterday's villa complex.
Originally, Feng Ming wanted to come with me, but I rejected him immediately. He wanted to walk around even though he was injured.
Fortunately, the security guard still remembered that I was picked up and allowed me to enter without any obstructions.
Standing at the entrance of the villa, I still felt a bit nervous. As for the wooden signboard, it was also slightly trembling.
He could only order the wooden board to calm him down a little.
After pressing the doorbell, someone quickly appeared on the screen. That person was wearing a uniform, so he was probably just a nanny.
"Miss, who are you looking for?"
I smiled professionally. "I'm looking for Mr. Xie. There's something I want to talk to him about."
The expression on the other party's face changed, and he immediately retreated in panic, an old face sticking closely to him.
I was startled, and then I realized it was only the old lady from last night.
However, this old lady wasn't a kind person. Seeing that it was me, she started to curse, "You still want to come back? Could it be that they took a fancy to our family's property last night? "
