Chapter 3254: Beautiful but Poor

There were too many strong people. Even just among task-takers, the gap in strength was huge. People couldn’t reach the sky with one leap. If you were always comparing yourself to others like this, you wouldn’t be able to even take a single step forward.

“Just say what’s on your mind. Do you feel that after we came to such a big city with strong weapons, you might be abandoned?” Ning Shu looked at Crossbow Lar.

Crossbow Lar pressed his lips together, then said, “I can’t be so selfish. You should have other weapons.”

Ning Shu sighed, “No weapon would want a girl like me who’s beautiful but poor.”

Crossbow Lar: ???

Ning Shu found a place and sat down.

“Are you really going to just sit on the street like this? Aren’t you going to your friend’s house?” Crossbow Lar saw Ning Shu sitting on the ground, “The ground is cold, you’ll get sick.”

Ning Shu said, “You seem really unwilling to be around those weapons, so we won’t go to her house.”

Crossbow Lar lowered his head, looking defeated. “Is it because of me that you have to be homeless again?”

Ning Shu stared at him, “Do you enjoy always taking responsibility for everything like this?”

He took on responsibility but couldn’t handle it, so he ended up just torturing himself—what was the point?

“We used to sleep on the streets in the past, too, braving wind and rain. We’re simply continuing with our usual days. You’re always like this. I have to reconsider whether I can even entrust Nicole to you.” Ning Shu said with a serious face.

“Sorry, it’s my fault.” Crossbow Lar lowered his head to apologize.

“Don’t apologize, what did you do wrong?” Ning Shu asked.

“I made you unhappy.” Crossbow Lar found that without bangs covering his eyes, he couldn’t even avert his gaze.

Crossbow Lar’s back was bowed; Ning Shu could only see the top of his head.

“Look me in the eye when you speak.” Ning Shu said.

Crossbow Lar raised his head; his obsidian-like pure eyes met Ning Shu’s.

Upon eye contact, Crossbow Lar immediately nervously looked away, “S-sorry…”

“What are you apologizing for? What did you do wrong?” Ning Shu asked.

“Y-yes… I, I…” Crossbow Lar knew he couldn’t apologize again, but he also didn’t know what to say.

Ning Shu: …

Sigh, sigh, sigh…

Ning Shu’s heart was filled with curses.

“Young man, don’t apologize for things that aren’t your fault, understand? Sometimes apologies just annoy people.”

“Your apology isn’t genuine; it’s avoiding the issue. Did you do wrong? Where did you go wrong?” Ning Shu tilted her head to ask.

“I, I, I…” Crossbow Lar stuttered. Damn, where did he go wrong?

“Yes, you’re right…”

Ning Shu coldly stared at Crossbow Lar; Crossbow Lar’s eyelids twitched wildly. Someone save me…

“What were you going to say?”

Crossbow Lar bit his handkerchief, crying inside. Oh my god, so scary, so terrifying. She was definitely not that bashful young girl anymore.

I want the young girl, I want the young girl back!

Ning Shu saw Crossbow Lar trembling all over, his expression like he was constipated.

Ning Shu tilted her head and said, “Make a squeak.”

“Squeak…”

Ning Shu: …

“Alright, just say whatever’s on your mind.” Ning Shu persuaded.

Crossbow Lar: “I’m sure you’re not the Nicole who saved me before.”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you that already?” Ning Shu propped up her chin with her hand, watching people pass by.

A person’s experiences show in their temperament; Ning Shu couldn’t fake a young girl’s temperament even if she tried.
