Quick Travel: Thousands of people want to be the No. 1 popular character

3.

I also have someone I want to protect.

I am not dispensable by her side. Everything I do gets her serious feedback.

I didn't know how to describe my happiness. Even when I first appeared in front of her, I deliberately pretended to be cold.

I am already a mature rabbit demon, and I know that a strong and steady image can make humans feel more at ease.

Especially—after transforming, my rabbit ears can’t be retracted!

I have been praised countless times for being cute by my tribe, and now I know that “rabbit” also often represents cuteness among humans.

And "cute" and "reliable" have nothing to do with each other.

Therefore, I worked harder to express the "strong" label in my character!

I want to know her secrets, I want to gain her trust, I want to help her kill the people behind the scenes, and I want to protect her safety for the rest of her life.

But... what I didn't expect was...

Qingqing quickly became close to me because of my rabbit ears.

"Xiao Xi, can you touch me?"

"Xiao Xi, you are so cute!"

"Xiaoxi Xiaoxi..."

"What's the big deal? I'll switch with you?"

The girl's eyes were like bright stars, very beautiful. She tentatively put my hand on her head: "Would you like to rub mine first?"

"……"I.

"Xiao Xi?" She blinked.

I rubbed it calmly and restrainedly, and reluctantly exchanged it with her.

In fact...even if I later became stronger and could put away my bunny ears, I still retained this external feature.

My brothers never knew that my missing smile would come back naturally.

I still don’t smile often, but every hidden smile is related to Qingqing.

I like the way she looks at me, the gentle way she calls me Xiaoxi, and even more, the feeling of being treated specially by her.

It's hard to describe, but being looked at by her with such eyes and called "Xiaoxi" is the most "enjoyable" thing that I can imagine.

About Shihengan.

The monster I hate the most.

none of them.

This kind of dislike, as time goes by, has gradually been mixed with hatred, resentment, ridicule, sympathy... and other emotions.

Sympathy, not pity.

But because of hate.

Because I hate him, I sympathize with him from above.

How stupid, you don’t even know what you want most.

As early as when he wantonly killed Qingqing's mother, I knew that this demon would never really get what he wanted no matter how long it took.

Because he has never realized that in this world, one can do whatever he wants without being powerful.

He thought that after killing Qingqing's mother, Qingqing could only be imprisoned by him, gradually accepting him, and one day forgetting his feelings for his mother.

This arrogance and wantonness were also reflected in many subsequent conversations.

However, he didn't understand that Qingqing was always in the dominant position between him and Qingqing.

"If one day Qingqing doesn't care about you anymore, you will experience the most extreme pain in the world." I once mocked him.

But Shi Heng'an just curled his lips lightly, filled with malice: "If Qingqing doesn't care about me anymore, I will kill her. She won't dare."

Look.

How cautious, anxious and self-deceiving.

Obviously I have extremely low self-esteem, and I obviously can't accept that day coming, but I still have to use absolute control to disguise this.

If I care about such a brother firmly, I will be hurt by him sooner or later - this is something I will never allow.

Therefore, I reminded Qingqing several times not to regard Shi Heng'an as her most important relative.

Qingqing would sometimes comfort me and tell me not to worry; sometimes she would tell me how important her brother was to her; more often than not, she would remain silent.

I don't understand the love and hate between her and Shi Heng'an, but the scars already illustrate the inevitable entanglement between the two.

But I still tried to change Qingqing's mind again and again.

Until one time, in the early morning, I tried to persuade Qingqing again, but Qingqing smiled and hugged me.

"Don't deal with me." I said coldly.

Qingqing was not angry. She said gently and patiently: "Actually...Xiao Xi, you have already understood that Shi Heng'an is different to me, right?"

She didn't say brother, but Shi Heng'an.

At that moment, I seemed to understand something, and I seemed to just feel resentful and sour.

Why...why can't it be me?

"But Shi Heng'an..."

The window was open, and with cold eyes, I suddenly saw the white mist outside.

My words stopped.

It was a foggy morning.

I suddenly remembered that that morning long ago, Qingqing and I were walking in the fog. Qingqing was holding a lantern, and she was obviously standing next to me, but she seemed to be far away in the horizon.

I……

I don’t know what I was thinking, but something very complicated made me suddenly ask: “This is what you want, right?”

No beginning or end, here comes this sentence.

Even I don’t quite understand the meaning inside.

However, Qingqing said:

"Correct."
