Not human? Although I have always felt in my heart that she is not human, I was still startled when she said it out loud. "Are you a monster? This year's snow has been quite unusual; could it be that you are a fairy transformed from the snow?"
"Who exactly are you?" I don't care what she wants, I just want to know who she really is. "Ah, the person who attacked me that day, it couldn't possibly be you, could it?"
"Please sit down and speak," Xiao Chen, who had been ignored, finally found the opportunity to speak. "Xiao Yao, a guest is a guest regardless of who they are."
However, I have never been afraid of the cold, so today I simply wore a sweater and put on a coat over it.
I saw her sitting there, and immediately a sense of defiance arose within me. I couldn't quite understand why, but suddenly I felt an urge not to let her outshine me. I sat down on the sofa opposite her and provocatively let out a hum.
It was an endless expanse of snow, seemingly without end
"Attack?" She was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "No way, what kind of attack is that? I just haven't seen you in a long time and wanted to say hello."
Xiao Chen and I exchanged glances, wondering who would come knocking at the door at this moment
I suddenly felt more confident, my hands stopped shaking, and my voice was steady. I said, "Hurry up and speak!"
I still want to say something, Xiao Chen has already reached the door, he reached out to grasp the doorknob and turned the deadbolt.
"What a mess! I told you I don't know you." I glared at her, "If you don't speak, I will call the police and have them arrest you!"
She is a woman whose age is difficult to discern, seemingly impervious to the cold, dressed in a white gauzy dress, with very long hair cascading down her back like flowing water. She is extraordinarily beautiful, possessing a charm that seems otherworldly. A red flame mark adorns her forehead, and her lips are a delicate shade of cherry blossom. Her exposed ears are pointed, entirely unlike those of a human.
How am I supposed to know what you want! I was irritated by her self-centered attitude, "A fairy is a fairy, speaking in vague terms!"
"You don't really need this kind of thing," she said, casually tossing aside the adhesive bandage and reaching out to me again. Her cold fingertips touched my forehead, yet no pain was felt. It seemed that the abrasion had completely healed.
She extended a finger and gently shook it: "Who knows, perhaps you think it is worthless, while I consider it invaluable"
But we cannot just let him keep knocking on the door, as it would disturb the neighbors. Xiao Chen said good-naturedly, "I will go and see who it is."
This strange woman, however, does not intend to let me go; she approaches me relentlessly, ultimately cornering me against the wall, and suddenly raises her hand towards me
After having dinner and finishing our homework, both Xiao Chen and I planned to rest. However, at that moment, there was a knock at the door
You go open the door! I kicked Xiao Chen's leg with my foot, "Wait a minute, it's so late to be knocking on the door... what if it's a bad person?"
"Xiao Chen, save me!" I shouted back to Xiao Chen, but in the moment I turned around, what I saw was not the familiar scenery.
"Hey! Don't come over here!" I instinctively felt that this woman posed a threat to me, screaming as I jumped off the sofa and retreated to the wall, with no further retreat possible.
Those with eyes can surely tell that I am not human. She gently set down her teacup, clasped her hands together, and looked at me with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Who are you? I don't know you!" I turned sideways and escaped from in front of her, pulling Xiao Chen in front of me, and warned, "Don't act recklessly. Xiao Chen has practiced Taekwondo. I advise you to leave quickly; we don't have anything valuable in our home for you to worry about."
I instinctively raised my hand to block, and a pure white figure came into view. I was stunned, and the image of the man in white I had seen that day at the Gu family immediately surfaced in my mind
"Hmph, no matter when I see you, you are always so rude." She looked at me with a mocking smile, completely ignoring Xiao Chen who was standing beside her, and walked towards me step by step
However, I was not attacked as I had imagined; I only felt a cool sensation on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, I discovered that her fair and slender fingers were pinching the band-aid that Gu Yanxi had applied for me a few days ago
She did not pay attention to me; instead, she elegantly picked up her teacup and took a sip, then cast an appreciative glance at Xiao Chen and said, "Good tea"
At that moment, Xiao Chen brought over two cups of tea. He placed one cup in front of the woman and handed the other cup to me. Then he sat down beside me, gently squeezed my hand, signaling me not to be afraid
"As long as you like it." Xiao Chen said淡淡地.
"Do not speak nonsense!" I quickly interjected, "I am not some Zhi Li. I just said my name is Xia Xueyao. You must have mistaken me for someone else; I could never be one of your kind."
Oh? I lowered my hand and looked closely again, only to find that it was not the man who had come, but a woman.
"Xiao Chen, look at what kind of chaotic people you have let in!" I instinctively shifted further into the sofa, "I don't even know them!"
Xiao Chen immediately rushed over to shield me, but her hand slipped, and she was swept aside. She grabbed my shoulder, disregarding my struggles, and dragged me out.
For several consecutive days, everything was calm and peaceful. Just as I was about to forget about the man in white and the white fox, new developments emerged.
"You really made it hard for me to find you, Zhi Li." She squinted at me and said, "I never expected that you would come to the human world."
The woman then shifted her gaze to Xiao Chen, appraised him briefly, and smiled before taking a seat on the sofa
It has been said that there is nothing of value in this house
Today is indeed a very ordinary day, the only unusual aspect being that it has snowed. This winter, the snow has arrived a month earlier than in previous years. Typically, at this time, one would only need to wear a thin cotton jacket, but this year, the snowfall came without any warning
With a click, the door opened with a sound, and a gust of wind swept in, carrying snowflakes with it
"What are you talking about?" I was completely baffled by her words. "I am not some Zhi Li, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I am Xia Xueyao, and I am indeed human. By the way, you still haven't told me who you really are."
"Let us change the place of our conversation," she said, reaching out her hand directly towards me
Is that so? she said, her gaze fleetingly sweeping across Xiao Chen's face. "Xia Xueyao, that's quite a nice name. My patience is limited, and I am not in the mood to indulge in a role-playing game with you. Hand over what I want, or I cannot guarantee what I might do."
It seems that you do not wish to hand it over to me so easily. Her gaze suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in the room dropped several degrees Celsius in an instant, even I, who am not afraid of the cold, felt a chill.
I tightly closed my eyes, my heart almost leaping out of my throat
"Do you take me for a thief?" Her expression suddenly darkened, but she quickly regained her smile, "However, you do have a point in saying that; I am indeed here to steal something."
You are right, she looked at me with a teachable expression, and also, not just me, but you, Zhi Li, you are not human either
