Chapter 188 Pretending Well
Zhou Manman held her hand and slowly stood up. Ta'an looked carefully and saw that her arms and knees were seriously injured and blood was oozing from them.
"Why don't you stay here with Zhou Manman? I'll go find a witch doctor to take a look," Taan suggested.
After hearing this, Zhou Manman sighed softly, then slowly sat back down.
Millie remained silent, just staring into the distance. Zhou Manman thought to himself, and it seemed that he had nothing to say to her. After all, everything has a sequence. Millie said that she and Tarasha were not on good terms, but he knew Tarasha first. And in his eyes, Tarasha was really a very lovely female, with almost no other shortcomings except being a little lazy and greedy.
However, no one is perfect, and everyone has some shortcomings. Maybe at some point, for me, those shortcomings of Tarasha are not shortcomings at all. For example, she is greedy, but that is because she likes to eat the food she cooks. Isn't this a recognition of her cooking skills? Even her occasional laziness makes people feel particularly cute.
Therefore, as long as Tarasha and Millie are still in a hostile state, Zhou Manman will definitely not become friends with Millie.
Not long after, Xiao Mi and Qing Lingyu came over one after another.
Millie was shocked when she saw Xiao Mi's face full of anger. She stood up quickly and waved her hands to explain: "It was not us who pushed her! She fell because she was walking without looking at the road!"
Zhou Manman also nodded, "It was indeed my own fault that I fell down."
Hearing this, Qing Lingyu reached out and lifted up Zhou Manman's injured hand, and gently probed it. Zhou Manman immediately gasped in pain and made a "hiss". His face turned cold in an instant.
Qing Lingyu took out some water and medicine powder from his body, poured out some, and cleaned the wound on Zhou Manman's hand. He said softly: "It may hurt a little, just bear with it."
After he finished speaking, water began to flow slowly down the wound. Zhou Manman bit her lips tightly, her face turning slightly pale due to the pain.
"Where is Lin?" Qing Lingyu suddenly asked.
When Zhou Manman heard him mention Lin, the scene of Lin ignoring her just now immediately emerged in her mind.
Tears instantly filled her aggrieved eyes, but she didn't want everyone to quarrel because of her, so she just said, "I just asked Lin to go to the mountain to get something for me."
When Qing Lingyu heard this, he looked up at Zhou Manman.
He uttered a soft "hmm".
Xiao Mi sneered, "Really? He brought you out here and left you alone here? On the mountain, which mountain did he go to?"
Zhou Manman corrected, "I asked Lin to come with me."
Listening to her subconscious defense, Xiao Mi felt that she was full of lies!
He has his own way of saying things to each person.
He snorted coldly and pinched Zhou Manman's chin, "Really? Now tell me, who do you like the most?"
Zhou Manman was stunned, and Qing Lingyu paused for a moment, then continued to apply medicine to the wound, but his movements were a little messy.
"I like all of them."
Zhou Manman said this and tried to break free from Xiao Mi's hands.
Xiao Mi's hands were as hard as steel. Zhou Manman felt her jaw aching so much that she couldn't speak clearly. "Let me go..."
Qing Lingyu frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Mi!"
Xiao Mi loosened his hand, his pupils flickered slightly, and the next second he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Manman's neck, exerting force on his hand. Zhou Manman immediately tried to pry his hand away uncomfortably. Qing Lingyu was extremely angry, "What are you doing, Xiao Mi!"
Xiao Mi moved his hand extremely quickly, and a wind blade flew towards Qing Lingyu in the air.
The green feather flashed, and anger flashed in his eyes.
His heterochromatic eyes changed slightly as he watched the little female breathing with difficulty.
My hands clenched uncontrollably.
Xiao Mi loosened his grip a little, lowered his voice and whispered in Zhou Manman's ear: "I'll ask you again, where is he?"
Zhou Manman felt pain all over his body, and felt like a firecracker. He wanted to slap Xiao Mi hard, but he couldn't beat him at all.
I was so angry that tears were falling.
Xiao Mi reached out and wiped away the tears on her face, "Okay, then tell me, who do you like the most?"
If any one of the three of them were present alone, Zhou Manman would be able to ask this question without any pressure, but...
She looked up at Qing Lingyu, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Xiao Mi was so angry that he kept saying, "Okay, okay."
"You are so nice, Zhou Manman, you are so nice!"
"You are willing to risk your life to save someone you don't like, right? Should I say you are terribly ignorant or terribly kind? What did you tell me at the time? Hmm?"
As Xiao Mi said this, he grabbed Zhou Manman with one hand and was about to take her away.
Qing Lingyu flashed at an extremely fast speed, "Put it down!"
The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere in the air was stagnant.
Zhou Manman suddenly felt that it was so boring and she was so useless.
She yelled at Xiao Mi, "Yes, I am so kind. I would use my life to save someone I don't like, and I would spend so many energy stones to save him. I am cheap, I am a cheap person, okay? Are you satisfied? If I had known you would be like this, I would have... just..."
Zhou Manman said this, but she couldn't say anything. She covered her face and sobbed.
"Why? If you had known I would be like this, you shouldn't have saved me, right?"
Xiao Mi put her down carefully, took away her hand, and saw that her eyes were red from crying.
For a moment, I felt very uncomfortable.
"Who do you like the most?"
“I like them all…”
"Oh, you are quite philanthropic then."
Zhou Manman seemed to be unable to hear the ulterior motive in his words. She hooked her arms around his neck and put her face against it, "My whole body aches..."
Xiao Mi glanced at her and said, "My heart hurts too."
Zhou Manman was stunned and stopped talking.
Xiao Mi carried her back, and Qing Lingyu's hands were bleeding from pinching her.
Ban Shang walked forward to take Manman from Xiao Mi. Xiao Mi looked at him and handed Zhou Manman over.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, "You're pretending very well."
Qing Lingyu's eyebrows jumped, "What?"
"As long as you know."
Zhou Manman didn't understand what was going on, so she buried her head tightly in Qing Lingyu's arms, holding him with both hands. She smelled the faint herbal fragrance on his body and suddenly felt that the witch doctor was really great.
Unlike Xiaoya, Tiantian only knew how to threaten her.
Thinking of how Millie and Taan had seen her make such a fool of herself today, Zhou Manman suddenly became even more annoyed with Xiao Mi, and even with Lin. Why did he ignore her and even ignored her several times when she spoke to him? Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so angry.
Only after they walked away did Taan look at Millie with lingering fear.
