Chapter Sixteen

Tom's full name was Tom Marvolo Riddle, but since none of the children in the orphanage had a middle name, everyone called him Tom Riddle.He was the prettiest boy in the orphanage, and also, the least popular.

All the kids hated him, no, it looked more like dread.All this can be seen from the fact that Fu Jiang received more than five "kind warnings" on the first day he came here.

They were all saying: Stay away from Riddle.

All the children were secretive, but no one told Fu Jiang the reason, and it was precisely because of this that Fu Jiang soon lost patience with other people.

[What about a bunch of useless people. ] Thinking of this, she shook her head at another boy who tried to approach her: "Can you stay away from me, Ned, I don't like the smell on your body—" She smiled helplessly and said extremely bad words: "It stinks gone."

The boy's face flushed instantly, he looked extremely embarrassed, but after a few hurried steps back, he was reluctant to walk away.He could only clenched the seam of his trousers in aggrieved way: "Hug, I'm sorry..." However, he could only excuse embarrassingly: "My name is Billy..."

But Fu Jiang obviously didn't care what he said anymore.She caught sight of Tom coming out of the room.He has jet-black hair, an indifferent expression, and a bluish-white complexion, like milky white porcelain with lustrous luster.Delicate, hard...and noble.

Fu Jiang couldn't help laughing and bent his eyebrows:

How cute, so smug and defiant.Do your best to separate yourself from the surroundings so as to maintain your fragile decency and difference.

Like how noble he really is.

It made Fu Jiang almost unable to restrain his bad taste.I just want to carve my mark on his clean eyes, and then let him fall into the dust.

Tom Riddle was oblivious to it, and of course he never cared about anyone.He just quickly left the desolate courtyard and walked towards the barren slope of the back mountain.

"Where is he going?" Fu Jiang asked the boy behind him, and the boy named Billy looked at the door closed by Tom Riddle, his face did not hide his jealousy and hatred: "Who knows? He lowered his voice and replied reluctantly: "That door can only lead to the back mountain."

After the boy finished answering, Fu Jiang waved him away quite casually.She didn't even look back at him.

Soon after, Fu Jiang also chased Riddle out of the orphanage.

She did not find each other smoothly.Even though the low hills were as barren as Billy said.The handsome boy seemed to have punched a hole in the ground, and then got into it to hide, and just disappeared.

This is simply too discouraging!

In the end, Fu Jiang had no choice but to step on his own shadow and return to the orphanage in the afterglow of the setting sun.Ms. Michel was very unhappy with Fu Jiang leaving the orphanage without permission.Fortunately, no one can be angry for too long under Fu Jiang's gaze, and Michelle doesn't even need to appease her. Michelle resolves her anger by herself."If you want to go out and about, it's better to have someone with you," she said.

"Then let Tom accompany me!" Fu Jiang demanded, looking directly at Tom Riddle with burning eyes.The boy was caught off guard when he was mentioned, so he used his thick eyelashes to cover up the shadow in his eyes.

Ms. Michelle restrained the smile on her face, she turned her head to look at Tom who was sitting in the seat, and nodded slightly after a while: "Yes, but don't come back too late."

"Of course, you are so kind!" Tomie smiled sweetly, hugged Michelle coquettishly, and then bounced and sat beside Tom.She leaned close to Tom's ear:

"When did you come back today?" Tom glanced at Fu Jiang with a sullen face, and impatiently inserted the potatoes on the dinner plate and fed them into his mouth.

"I went to look for you, but where did you go?" The girl nodded her lips and continued to make annoying noises.

"That place is really desolate, even the trees are lifeless, it's really boring."

"Maybe you have some sort of secret base?"

"Or something else interesting?

"Heh," Fu Jiang chuckled, "Take me with you tomorrow~" She ordered without hiding her arrogance.

He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tom.

"Shut up." The boy whispered, his tone full of impatience and boredom.However, his emotions were never taken seriously by the other party.The girl even teased:

"What, so you can talk~ I thought you were dumb~"

"I said, shut up—!"

Accompanied by Tom Riddle's voice, a young adder with dark brown spotted scales slid out from the boy's slender wrist.The oval eyes seemed to be covered with a transparent film, and the wide open mouth revealed sharp fangs and forked snake letters, which quickly bit Fu Jiang——

The Viper succeeded.

The girl didn't even dodge.She didn't even scream or cry, and let Nagini bite the tiger's mouth on her left hand fiercely.There were several hissing calls from Tom Riddle's throat, and the snake quickly coiled back around his wrist, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And Tom Riddle?He waited for a while, seeing that Fu Jiang still had no intention of crying or complaining, he temporarily put down his mind and prepared to deal with all Michelle's lies.

He turned his head to pick up the cutlery and continued with his unfinished dinner.Of course, by the way, prepare to deal with the situation where Fu Jiang twitches and lies on the ground after the poison...

Nothing happened.

The girl leaned in front of him: "Is that what you did? Use your snake to kill all the people who don't like you?"

Only then did Tom Riddle truly see the girl in his eyes for the first time.

Her black hair is like a waterfall, and she has a beautiful appearance. The dim light casts a faint light on her crow-feather eyelashes, which makes the translucent white skin like suet jade more delicate.She raised her eyes and stared at the boy. There was no fear or flinch in her eyes, she just watched him quietly.

The eyes are even a little naive.

Tom Riddle looked away under the girl's gaze—he hadn't looked at anyone like this in many years.

Only then did he notice the opponent's hand!I saw the boy suddenly pull Fu Jiang's left hand hard. The hand was slender and tender, the fingers were light white, and the blood vessels under the skin were even faintly visible...but there was no wound!

No wounds!

Tom Riddle couldn't help himself gasping, he was sure that Nagini had bitten Fu Jiang and embedded the venom into her body through his teeth!

But look what he saw?Her wounds were completely healed in just a few minutes, and there was no discomfort of toxins invading her body? !

Tom lowered his eyebrows: "What's going on?"

Under his gaze, Fu Jiang raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her dark pupils could not reflect Tom Riddle's figure clearly.

She asked again: "So tell me now, is there anything interesting about Houshan?"

Tom pursed his lips.

Seeing this, Fu Jiang's smile grew wider.She put away the plate briskly, turned around and left gracefully.

"See you tomorrow, Tom."

Tom Riddle did not sleep that night.He tossed and turned, excited for the first time he might meet in his life.Even if he didn't like the girl at all, her smile always struck Tom with a subtle malice.

Yes, malicious.

Tom closed his eyes and recalled everything that happened at the dinner table today.The girl always showed a more genuine joy when she saw her shocked or angry expression.Her smile made Tom realize that the other person was obviously different from other people who were trying to get close to him.

What is her purpose of approaching him?

Because of his appearance?His magic?Or because of something else?Tom's face darkened, but soon, he had no extra energy to think about it.Nagini crawled out of his collar, huddled up in a weak body, and its hissing snake language told Tom that it was very uncomfortable at the moment.

This is the first time Nagini has shown such vulnerability.Its body trembled constantly, rolling or twisting from time to time, it looked so painful——

Tom Riddle inevitably flustered, he never valued anyone's life, but he valued Nagini!And no matter how mature he was in the past, he was still a child after all.Tom didn't even want to think about the worst possibility!

When he had exhausted all the ways (and found nothing) to make Nagini better, Tom finally gave up.After thinking for a moment, he quickly picked up Nagini and rushed out of the room——

"What's the matter?" Fu Jiang leaned on the door and looked down at Tom Riddle.Until now, this boy with delicate features has the appearance of a ten-year-old boy.He held Nagini in his hands: "What did you do? Nagini has never been like this—"

Fu Jiang shrugged unapologetically: "Wow, do I have to apologize to you for biting me?"

"Because it's not me that hurts?"

Tom kept his mouth shut.A scarlet light flashed across those black eyes, which couldn't conceal the savagery and fierceness that he had been concealing with pride in the night.Obviously, at this moment, he hated Fu Jiang very much.But Fu Jiang didn't care.

Although she promised to attack the characters arranged by each system, she never thought that she had to please the other party.

She'd rather drag him into the dust than have to hold his head up against Tom's superiority.

Fu Jiang smiled: She doesn't like to look up at others.

After completely seeing the anxiety and bewilderment under Tom's calm expression, Fu Jiang picked up Nagini in Tom's hand after satisfying his evil taste, and the cold snake body was weakly clinging to her hands.

She took a step back slightly: "You owe me once."

Tom Riddle raised his head, the girl's face was as beautiful as ever.But just as the night revealed the truth of the boy, it also revealed Fu Jiang's.Her dark eyes, which were always foggy, cleared away the clouds tonight, revealing the coldness and indifference inside.It was as if all the scenery in this world had never been reflected in her eyes.

She lowered her head slightly and stared at Tom Riddle with condescending eyes, as if she was looking at a speck of dust or a leaf, without even the slightest bit of emotion.Just as Tom Riddle treats others this way, Fu Jiang also treats him this way.

The author has something to say: The Dark Lord is really difficult!So hard, so hard, so hard (grabbing the bald head)——

but!

"Dark Lord, I'm sure whoring!" (Lu Fei: Don't learn from me)!

Routine spoilers (excerpt):

"Now you can tell me how you did it." Tom used declarative sentences, and he was asking Fu Jiang to explain his wound healing.

Fu Jiang shrugged: "Of course." She nodded:

"But I never suffer. If you are really curious, you must first exchange a secret."

Confession time:

Not today (hugging knees), do you really not think about feeding a Mao Mao who is waiting to be fed? (Crack!)
