Concave and Convex World: The Wind of Freedom

[Qiao Xiaozhou is not very mature. I will have to teach her how to live in the future...] Shen Yun thought to himself, [When she makes enough money in the future, she will leave. I hope she will still remember me by then. ]

[I also hope that she will not be implicated by me...]

"Shen, Shen Yun..." Qiao Xiaozhou approached carefully.

"What's wrong with you? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

"Yeah! I got up to go to the bathroom... Well, why don't you tell me that your injury is not completely healed, so you should rest more."

"...Are you okay?" Shen Yun looked at her.

"Hey!" Qiao Xiaozhou pouted dissatisfiedly.

"I'm worried about you." Shen Yun agreed, "Okay, you come to guard and call me if there is any movement. Even if there is no movement, you must call me after two hours."

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Yun was really sleepy and injured, so he fell asleep in about ten minutes.

After Qiao Xiaozhou carefully confirmed it, he walked out quietly.

……

Qiao Xiaozhou's palms were a little sweaty, and she felt a lot of guilt in her heart, but when she thought of the young man's smile, she felt much better.

[You don’t look like that kind of person no matter how you look at it... Maybe there is some misunderstanding? ]

She took out the note. Under the dim yellow streetlight, the handwriting was a little blurry, but she could still see it clearly.

【pm, I'll wait for you】

[Be sure to ask him clearly...! ]

After she reached her destination and stood there for a while, Kalinlie also walked out of the dark corner.

"On time." He smiled.

"W-what do you want from me?" Qiao Xiaozhou looked at him awkwardly.

Kalinlie showed a friendly smile. He has a handsome appearance and a gentle attitude, and it is hard not to make people like him. "Did she tell you to be careful about me?"

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you... Of course, you should be wary of me. After all, for you, her words are naturally more credible, right?"

"You, you don't look like that kind of person... I, I want to believe you!" Qiao Xiaozhou said uncertainly, "But you have to explain it properly. She said that you were responsible for her injuries!"

"She didn't lie." Kalinglie admitted.

"you……!"

"But there was a certain misunderstanding. Some of her injuries were indeed caused by me, but I was not the one who really injured her." Kalinglie explained, "I was by her side when she was fighting that monster. There was another monster behind her, so I knocked her away."

After Kalinglie said this, he lifted up his clothes, revealing the place where Shen Yun had scratched him.

"This is part of the harm I blocked for her." He looked lonely, "We were indeed friends before, but maybe she misunderstood me. I came to you this time because I wanted to make it clear to you, and by the way... If you can, Please apologize to me and her."

He looked like he was really wronged, and his tone contained a bit of affectionate concern.

Qiao Xiaozhou showed a look of surprise, then turned rosy, and became embarrassed, "So that's it! I, I'm sorry, I doubted you just now..."

"It doesn't matter, you are right to do this. You must be careful when you go out." Kalinglie smiled and shook his head, sighing, "Hey, but since she doesn't want to believe me anymore, I don't plan to Find her again."

"Is that so..."

"You look confused?"

"Ah, I...I have a little..." Qiao Xiaozhou glanced over her head, "I still hope you can clear up the misunderstanding. Shen Yun is a very nice person! If you can continue to be friends..."

Kalinglie lowered his eyes, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, which was accidentally glimpsed by Qiao Xiaozhou.

"Let me tell you the truth." After thinking for a moment, he looked at Qiao Xiaozhou seriously and said slowly, "I have known her from a long time ago. When we were children, we were very good playmates. She is a nice person. But she’s also very good at hiding it.”

His voice was as light and crisp as clear spring water, revealing a hint of silence unnoticeably, "That is to say...she has never been sincerely devoted to anyone."

"Even if it's me."

"I wanted to explain to her that day, but she didn't trust me at all, and even old friends could easily doubt me... She was really too wary." Kalinglie sighed, "It was not easy for me to meet her this time. But she was even more distant."

His voice lingered in Qiao Xiaozhou's mind, feeling confused, "This..."

"How true is what she said to you?"

These words fell into Qiao Xiaozhou's ears, and they couldn't help but stir up her uneasy thoughts.

"She, she won't lie to me...she even helped me..."

"Hey, she was so nice to you, and even deliberately said bad things about me. Didn't you ever suspect it? She just wanted to find someone to accompany her, just to use it as a shield when necessary." Kalinlie looked at the sky and chuckled. He smoothed his hair naturally and shook his head regretfully, "With her kind of personality, she has so many enemies. If you don't pay attention, she will get involved, right?"

Qiao Xiaozhou became a little panicked.

She immediately thought of why Shen Yun wanted her to go out less often and why he told her to be careful.

Because Shen Yun has many enemies.

Because she is a shield, now is not the time to use her.

"Ah, I don't mean to sow discord." The smile in the young man's eyes deepened, and his gentle voice lowered a little, appearing softer, "Maybe she is sincerely good to you, maybe, but guard against others. Your heart is indispensable, if you need help one day... you can contact me and I will definitely be there."

Only when Qiao Xiaozhou reacted did she realize that she was no more than a palm away from Kalinlie. She took two steps back in a panic, her cheeks became hot unconsciously, and her thoughts in her heart were like threads. Under Kalinlie's guidance, she took two steps back. Stir it up.

Catching a glimpse of Kalinglie's gentle and caring eyes, she lowered her head, calmed her mind, and said in a voice as gentle as a mosquito, "Okay..."

She walked back in a daze.

Her first reaction was to tell Shen Yun about Kalin Lie, but subconsciously, she slowed down and gently sat down in her previous position.

She turned her back to the sleeping girl, and there were bursts of suspicion and denial in her mind.
