Chapter 3: The Wish I Made Since Childhood
update icon Updated at 2023/6/19 17:42:43

I stood at the exit wearing a motorcycle helmet, occasionally looking up at the slightly distorted sky. The sun in August was scorching, causing things in the distance to appear slanted. The gecko, once on the cement ground, accelerated instantly, as if the hot weather wanted to evaporate everything.

Occasionally, a cool breeze from the air conditioner inside the airport blew across, but it was not enough for the dense crowd. Everyone complained about the heat, except for me, dressed strangely. Wearing heavy clothes and a tightly-fitted helmet, at first glance, I might seem like someone who is extremely afraid of the cold. However, in reality, I was already soaked in sweat and my eyes were lifeless.

Damn it... Is this part of your plan too...? I couldn't help but think if the cunning Xi Qiao had already taken this situation into account. She knew it would be hot, so she purposely chose this time to come. Taking advantage of my childhood trauma, she expected me to wear heavy protection. And so, in this scorching weather, a helmet man with heavy clothing was born.

Damn it! She is such a demoness! I fell for her trap! I prepared to take off the helmet to alleviate the heat slightly. But as I put my hand on it, suddenly, a flash of light shot through my mind.

No... That's not it... It's not like that. I quietly put my hand down and looked ahead. What if she had calculated that I would calculate her calculations? My pupils shrank at this possibility. If that were the case, wouldn't taking off the disguise right now put me right back into her plan!?

By the time I took off my clothes, Xi Qiao, who had my photo, would quickly find me, putting me at a disadvantage in the overall strategy, which would be detrimental! And all this would be within Xi Qiao's calculations. She knew I might calculate her calculations of my calculations, so she purposely calculated it this way in order to manipulate me.

Damn it... You are indeed terrifying. But it's useless now. I've already calculated your calculation of my calculation of your calculation! So, even if it's scorching hot, I won't take off the helmet!

In a short time, my heart went through countless games, but that's the terrifying thing about Xi Qiao. Who knows if all this is still part of her plan. My childhood experiences have taught me two things.

First, none of the items she hands over can be used. Second, none of the words she says can be trusted. These lessons are the painful teachings from childhood until now. Despite not seeing her for ten years, her terror still lingers in my heart.

Ha... Ha... You really deserve to be Xi Qiao... Due to the intense mental battle, the inside of my helmet became even hotter, my heart pounding as if I had run hundreds of meters, with sweat pouring down my back.

Although I haven't seen her yet, her terror is already evident. Even without seeing her face, she can make me this embarrassed, which is a testament to her unparalleled prank skills. Moreover, she is no longer the little girl from kindergarten. Her skills in pranking have definitely improved!

But I'm not the same little kid anymore. As long as I remember my principles, I won't make any mistakes no matter what I encounter! Let me think, so what would her first move be...?

Right, she will definitely ask me to take her out to eat, and then secretly collaborate with the restaurant chef to add a hundred times the amount of devilishly spicy seasoning to my meal, watching me breathe fire and scream.

No, this low-level prank does not seem like something Xi Qiao would do. Now that she is grown up, she will definitely use more evil, terrifying, and inhumane tactics. What could it be... Could it be that as I pass by an alley, suddenly a group of men in black will kidnap me, and just as I think I am about to be violated and start screaming, she will suddenly take out a camera and record my embarrassing state?

No, my current defense is not enough. I really need to find a weapon to protect myself. That girl is too dangerous, and I cannot go unguarded. I looked around for useful items while being scrutinized by the people around me, who were all on high alert, fearing that I might cause some trouble.

Wait a minute, Xiaotian, calm down. This is a public place, and Xi Qiao cannot do anything drastic here.Moreover, I'm wearing a helmet now, so she definitely can't recognize me. I took out my phone, wanting to look at her picture. All the way, because of the tension and various other emotions, I hadn't opened the photo that my mother had sent me, because I had made a wish when I was a child, fearing that it hadn't come true. Ah... God, I am willing to pay the price of my future marriage, even if my future wife is ugly, poor, and can't read faces, and beats and scolds me, I am willing to pay this price to let Xi Qiao become a pig woman. That's what I thought when I was a child! Because she loved sweets at that time, I bluntly said that girls who love sweets will grow up to be fat and unable to get married. And then, I was beaten up by my sister. I turned on my phone and started to recall. In my memory, although Xi Qiao is cute, she has short legs, freckles on her face, and a flat chest. She shouldn't be very pretty when she grows up... Maybe she really turned into a fat girl, with bow legs, a face full of freckles, and messy hair. Just as I was scrolling through my phone, a refreshing sound of footsteps came. I looked up and suddenly saw an unforgettable girl. She had light brown long hair, brown pupils, and her eyes sparkled with a cunning light, as if they could talk. Her skin was very white, but more of a healthy color, with a pleasant smile. There was a delightful curve in her chest, her figure was well-proportioned, her waist was perfect, and her body curve was also pleasing to the eye. A beautiful girl... I thought so, and the other party seemed to notice me as well and stood in front of me. Huh? Strange, how come I have this girl's picture on my phone? I quietly picked up my phone, secretly compared the photo with the girl in front of me, and found that they were exactly the same, but I had never seen her before. Wait a minute... I looked at the source of the photo, which was a WeChat chat box; the sender was my mother. "..." I slowly turned my body, stiffly, trying to turn my back on this girl, pretending not to notice her. "Xiao~ Tian~" NO————!!!
