I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Xu Jiao saw the blush rising on her face from a close distance, and the shallow creases on her cheeks, as if the clouds from the sky had flown down and hung on her cheeks.

There was also a layer of mist in the eyes.

As if being bullied hard.

She belatedly realized the current posture of the two of them, let go of her hand, and took a step back, giving Shen Yelan enough space to recover, her tone was light, but she sounded extremely polite.

"Sorry," she said.

Shen Yelan didn't dare to look at her, she looked at the ground at her toes in panic, and stammered back: "No, nothing..."

She could hardly hear Xu Jiao's voice clearly, and her ears were filled with the sound of her out-of-order heartbeat and blood flow. The rational world collapsed in an instant, like the world where the sky pillar was broken in ancient times, and the flood was raging. It's a rolling river.

The rationality, calmness, and thinking that blocked the way were all submerged by this flood.

While she was trying to regain her composure, Xu Jiao looked to the side, seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them in the bustling street, her calm eyes showed a bit of thought.

Looking at Shen Yelan's performance just now, it really doesn't seem like she really hates herself, but...

The system clearly stated that the favorability is -50.

what happened?

She asked in her heart: "Did you download too many junk packages recently, and the program has a virus?" In fact, the favorability is not negative, but positive.

The system denied it flatly: "Impossible, I am a technology beyond the existing plane, and the anti-virus software that comes with it is the most advanced, and nothing here can affect me."

Xu Jiao raised her brows with a half-smile, "Oh? Then tell me, what's going on with Shen Yelan?"

She calmly concluded: "I'm pretty sure she's not lying."

There must be something wrong between Shen Yelan and the system.

The system was down for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but express doubts: "It should be a problem with the detection principle, let me think about it."

Xu Jiao gave it enough time, only put the matter down temporarily, and turned to look at Shen Yelan, the blush on the other party's face faded a lot, although she still didn't dare to look at her, but compared to before, she was much better A lot.

She didn't think much about what the phrase "like" meant, she just thought it was Shen Yelan who was forced by herself, and she didn't pay attention to the wording when she was in a hurry. It is the illusion of not liking or liking.

Knowing that Shen Yelan didn't have any malice towards her, Xu Jiao put her school uniform pocket in one hand, smiled slightly, and said to Shen Yelan:

"This is the second time you've helped me."

"This time, didn't you think about what you want in return?"

Xu Jiao is ready for Shen Yelan to display Lei Feng's qualities again.

For example, I said to her "no need" and "I didn't think about it that much at the time", after all, according to Shen Yelan's character, it shouldn't be—

"I..." Shen Yelan plucked up her courage and uttered a voice in a low voice. The eyes that met her flickered slightly. I don't know if the eyes were moving or the light was playfully dancing in her eyes.

The moment she saw her expression clearly, Xu Jiao's thoughts stopped abruptly.

In this way, I really have something to ask of myself.

Immediately afterwards, interest lit up in her eyes, and she was suddenly a little curious about what Shen Yelan was going to say, raised her chin, and said encouragingly, "Huh? Tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

She knew that Shen Yelan was not trying to repay her kindness, and since the other party was able to bring it up, it meant that she had been troubled for a long time.

What could it be?

Shen Yelan looked at her extraordinarily friendly appearance, her words reached her throat, but she suppressed them, and said instead: "...No, it's nothing, as long as you're fine."

She really doesn't look like she's going to bring up things that don't go her way.

But Xu Jiao's curiosity has been completely aroused by her, even if she doesn't continue, she has no intention of letting go of this topic: "Then let me guess, if I guess right, I will help you solve it ,How about it?"

Shen Yelan stared at her blankly, unable to react.

Strangely, Xu Jiao's eyes are not very aggressive, nor is it the kind of viciousness that school bullies should have. state.

Like a lake with no wind or waves, it is so clear that only people can see their own reflection.

But it is such a pair of eyes——

It made Shen Yelan feel that she was seen through.

Even the soul has nowhere to escape.

Xu Jiao's voice sounded unhurriedly: "The girl who came to trouble you last time went home with you, right? She bullied you like this at school, so it shouldn't be much better at home. It feels bad to be in a family like that, doesn't it?"

"Of course, this is just my guess. If I'm wrong, then I apologize first."

Perhaps it was because the tone of voice was too gentle, Shen Yelan didn't even feel disgusted by touching other people's scars.

Probably the impression that this person left was too strong, so any politeness would make the other party feel flattered, so why would you care about extra things?

Shen Yelan bit her lower lip, shook her head, and said in a low voice, "You... are right."

But this is the problem, can Xu Jiao be expected to help?

Xu Jiao stared at her for a while, then pulled the corners of her lips suddenly, showed a shallow smile, tilted her head, and asked, "Do you want to hear the solution I prepared for you?"

Shen Yelan didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, she forgot to say anything, and only opened her eyes wide to look at Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao took it for granted that she wanted to hear it:

"You should be worried about tuition fees and accommodation. This is very simple. I will lend you money and return it to me when you are in college or have the ability to work part-time. What do you think?"

Shen Yelan subconsciously felt that this would be very troublesome.

but……

She couldn't resist the temptation to get closer to Xu Jiao.

In the end, she uttered a question that she also felt very weak: "Would it...would it be troublesome to you? Besides, my relatives always use me as a free babysitter, and if they leave like this, they will cause trouble... ..."

Xu Jiao straightforwardly interrupted her hesitation: "My proposal, you just have to answer whether you accept it or not. Accept it, and I will take care of the rest. If you don't accept it, I will pretend that I didn't say anything just now."

It's rare that she is willing to take the initiative to modify the plot——

Shen Yelan, don't let me down.

Sensing the seriousness in Xu Jiao's words, Shen Yelan swayed in her heart for a moment, and in the end, she was like Eve who couldn't resist the temptation of the snake in the Garden of Eden and took the initiative to pick off the forbidden fruit and tasted it secretly. She heard herself answering in a low voice. :

"accept."

She will never forget this afternoon.

She once thought that she would go through all kinds of difficulties and pay a huge price to climb out of this muddy pit. However, the Mantian gods and Buddhas who had never turned a blind eye to her fate seemed to have finally opened their eyes at this moment—— —

Showed her a little mercy.

No.

It's not a god or Buddha, it's Xu Jiao.

It was Xu Jiao who saved her and changed her fate.

Shen Yelan chewed this person's name over and over again in her heart, as if she wanted to engrave this name into her bone marrow.

at the same time--

Xu Jiao heard a slightly surprised voice from the system: "It has been detected that the protagonist's favorability towards you has changed! The current favorability is -80!"

Obviously, the system is a little confused about this value now.

Xu Jiao wasn't too surprised, her usual low-energy tone changed, and she replied, "Oh? It seems that the medicine is good, should I try harder?"

She planned to make a phone call to her family in a while. Although the original owner's parents are like the background board, but the tools are also useful if used well. After thinking about it for a while, she went in the direction of home, not forgetting to turn her head Said with Shen Yelan:

"By the way, if you can't find a house to live in for the time being, I have a spare room in my house that I can rent to you. I'll give you a [-]% discount on the rent. You should consider it."

"Also, if you are under pressure in communication with your relatives, you can go back and talk to the head teacher of Class 1 about your situation. They probably won't want to see an outstanding student like you being affected by a bad family."

Shen Yelan looked at her back, heard her relaxed tone, and thought of a solution for herself in a few words, followed in a daze, took two steps, and waited for Xu Jiao to look at her in confusion, then she A sentence popped out in a low voice:

"I... can I start renting today?"
