Hello, Little Friend (2)

Seeing that she still wanted to resolve the issue peacefully, it poured cold water on her, saying “Host, give up. You can’t be friends.”

Jiang Xiaoman ignored it.

Because it once said that she and it could not be friends, but right now the system had become her best friend.

“I’ll exchange the candies for what you’re holding.” Jiang Xiaoman said.

The little boy finally paid her some attention. “Do you know how to play this?”

Jiang Xiaoman, who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth^[2], said, “Of course.”

“Then help me open it.”

The little boy handed the thing he was holding to Jiang Xiaoman. She only just now discovered that what he had been playing with was a block of wood.

Open? How do you open this thing?

Jiang Xiaoman pushed and pulled, but she couldn’t make it budge at all. It was just a few pieces of wood, but no matter how she pulled or twisted, she just couldn’t manage to open it.

It was very difficult.

She was getting a little tired, but she still didn’t want to give up. She didn’t want others to laugh at her.

“If I manage to open it, can you give it to me?” She asked him

“Yes.”

Jiang Xiaoman grinned happily. “You said it.”

After she said that, she stood up and smashed the wooden block to the ground, then ran and stomped it as hard as she could.

After a few cracking sounds, the assembled wooden pieces fell apart.

“???” The little boy was stunned and froze.

His black eyes opened wide, staring at Jiang Xiaoman in a daze.

Jiang Xiaoman raised her chin and proudly said. “Hey, there is nothing inside.”

There was the wooden block’s wreckage on one side and her proud face on the other.

The little boy turned his head with much effort, his expressionless face finally moving, then finally burst into tears. “Why did you smash my Luban lock!!!”

The little boy cried so pitifully, and heart-wrenchingly asked Jiang Xiaoman why she smashed his Luban lock.

She felt guilty and tried explaining in a small voice, “You said you’d give it to me if I opened it…”

The sound of the little boy’s cry intertwined with the notification sound from the system. She felt very guilty and gave him the two candies. “This is for you. Don’t cry, okay?”

“I don’t want them!” The little boy cried so hard that he started to hiccup.

He glared at Jiang Xiaoman and silently shed tears, then smacked the two candies to the ground.

Jiang Xiaoman felt bad and sadly picked them up.

“I… I will give you this in exchange for your Luban lock. This is my precious treasure, please don’t cry.” She said, her voice breaking and her eyes holding back her tears. She took off her precious tiger hat with both hands and gave it to the little boy.

That tiger hat was given to her by Jiang Xing and was already very old. Adding to its outdated form, in his eyes, it was really…

“Ugly.” The little boy refused.

“Wuuu—” Jiang Xiaoman thought that he was talking about her messy precious hair. She couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears. “You called me ugly, you called me ugly! I don’t care about you anymore!! I apologized to you and gave you candy, but you called me ugly!!”

Xiaoman walked away while crying. When she passed by the Luban lock’s wreckage, she purposely stepped on it again.

So what if she was a villain!

He was even worse! He called people names!

She walked back while crying and sat on the chair. She kept crying until snot and tears filled her face, startling Jiang Xing until he came out.

“Xiaoman, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?”

Jiang Xiaoman cried until her vision blurred from tears and covered her head with one hand. “It’s all your fault, I’m not pretty anymore. Someone just called me ugly. I don’t care about you anymore! Wuuuu—”
