Chapter 172 See You Next Time

We often see this scene in anime or games. Once a girl cries, the boy will either hug her into his arms or put his hands on her head. Then, miraculously, the girl will stop crying.

I always thought this was the screenwriter's bad taste, but it wasn't until this moment that I finally understood that it was true.

And, it’s fun, haha!

Okay, I admit, I'm a little crazy, but it's really fun.

After all, seeing someone who is like a sister being 'played' by a stranger, both the brother and the sister will unconsciously become angry.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, such as a man named Rodney.

Yang Jiu finally couldn't hold it back anymore and came to me very unhappy. He glared at me fiercely and said, "Try playing with her again."

I looked innocent: "Playing? No~"

Then, with a smile on his face, he continued the touching and lifting pattern.

Yang Jiu couldn't suppress his unhappiness at last. He grabbed my hand, threw it away, and then touched Duanmuyu's hair himself, wanting to imitate me and help her stop crying.

However, it was no use, Duanmuyu returned to crying state again.

"It doesn't seem to have any effect." I spread my hands and looked gloating.

Yang Gao glared at me.

Several other companions also came over and put their hands on one by one, but - it was completely ineffective.

Seeing this, I snickered on the sidelines and gloated even more.

This time, everyone glared at me, and the short-haired girl pointed at me threateningly, and then at Duan Muyu.

"Tch, you can't do it yourself, but you still threaten others. You have a really bad character."

I added another bad review to her in my mind.

Just as I was about to reach out and touch it, I suddenly thought: "Would it be effective if I took off the gauntlet and touched it?"

So, completely ignoring the protesting looks of the people around me, I took off my gauntlet and touched Duanmuyu's head again.

The head-touching killing actually took effect again.

I proudly looked down at the girl with short hair and showed an extremely lewd smile.

From a distance, I could even hear the sound of the short-haired girl grinding her teeth.

Duanmuyu's crying became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.

She wiped her tears, rubbed her face, smiled at me, and instantly she seemed to be a different person, returning to her previous image of a gentle girl.

Ah? This damn thing has changed a lot. Could it be that she is a talented actor that only appears in millions of years?

"Hug, I'm sorry." Duan Muyu suddenly lowered his head and said with all kinds of apologies: "I, my gaffe, caused trouble to you."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Besides," I touched her hair and rubbed it hard twice, and said, "This feels unexpectedly nostalgic. It reminds me of the pets we raised many years ago."

"You bastard, don't compare Xiaoyu with any pet!" The short-haired girl's dissatisfied cry sounded again.

I just gave her an extremely contemptuous expression.

"Thank you." Yang Guo nodded to me.

"No, no, as long as you tell me about the summoner later," I waved my hand and gave him a nonchalant expression.

Yang Jiu was about to speak, but I raised my hand and interrupted him: "We'll talk about the summoner later. I think finding out why Xiaoyu is crying is the priority."

"Call me her full name!" the short-haired girl said angrily again, "Don't get close to her on purpose!"

"You're such a perverted girl," I muttered.

Looking at Duanmuyu for a few seconds, her little face turned red instantly. She is such a shy girl!

"Why were you crying before?" I asked.

"No, I don't know either." Duan Muyu said a little nervously: "It's just that when I see my summoned object die, I will feel empty and sad in my heart, and then I will unconsciously..."

The voice is getting smaller and smaller. Is she being shy?

I can't understand this girl's thoughts at all.

"If this is just the case," I thought, "then she really has a heart of glass."

Thinking back, maybe this is true. When we met before, she always stared at me with her big eyes. She didn't have the vigilance of others at all, but with a touch of curiosity and an incomprehensible shyness.

How sensitive is she that she can still show a shy expression towards a dangerous stranger?

But if that was the case, she probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to explain various things about summoners to me, but why did she explain it to me anyway?

I was filled with confusion, and after a little thought, I mixed together all the possibilities I thought of, and finally came to a conclusion that I couldn't even believe: Could she be a person with multiple personalities?

On the one hand, she shows a glass heart that is extremely sensitive to emotions and psychology, and on the other hand, she shows the image of a good girl who is very tolerant and very approachable.

The link between these two personalities is the wind elemental stick figure that is no more than the size of a palm.

If this idea is true, she is really a girl as cute and interesting as a pet dog.

Rubbing her hair with his hands again, Duanmuyu showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Don't treat Xiaoyu like a pet!" The short-haired girl finally couldn't bear it, and quickly stepped forward, opened my hand, and protected Duanmuyu by her side.

Duanmuyu, who suddenly lost the feeling of rubbing, showed a look of loss for a moment, but this was only for a moment, no one would notice except me.

By the way, that woman was really cruel and the beating was quite painful.

I rubbed my wrist and heard Yang Guo whisper to me: I'm sorry.

"It's okay, it's okay" I said rubbing my hands.

Sitting down opposite Yang Gao, I said: "It's OK now, let's talk about some things about summoners."

"Tell me everything you know." Yang Jiu had a smile on his face.

"Ah, by the way, where did Xiaoyu and I talk about just now?" I looked confused and forgot where the previous topic ended.

Yang Jiao's smile disappeared, replaced by a helpless expression.

Others shook their heads, but Duanmuyu looked at me blankly, and after a long time he said: "I forgot about it too."

"Well, forget it." I scratched my head, stood up, and said, "Then let's start a new topic next time."

"That's fine." Yang Jiu nodded with a smile.

I stretched out my hand and said kindly: "My name is An Xiaoyi."

"My name is Yang Ji."

I turned around and walked towards the way I came, then suddenly stopped and said, "Look forward to seeing you in Airui City."

Yang Jiao nodded at me.

I never looked back, I only heard the short-haired girl’s voice coming from behind me: “Don’t see me again!”
