Chapter 318: Chapter 194: Fireworks, Lies, and the Last Wish of a 17-Year-Old Girl_3

Bai Qiuwu rested her hands on the railing and lowered her head in thought before continuing, “And my brother, Mingye.”

She paused, “I never imagined he would become a superhero. I hope… after I leave, you can help me take care of him and remind him more often, so he doesn’t fall into danger.”

“Uh… with all due respect, what if I say I can’t?” the strange thing asked seriously.

Bai Qiuwu was taken aback, as if she had not anticipated being refused, the light in her eyes shifting.

The strange thing smacked its lips, shook its head, and let out a long sigh, “Alright, actually I will help you. Who can stand to see a girl heartbroken?”

Bai Qiuwu slowly lifted her head to look at it.

“Really?”

“Really.”

The strange thing, while saying this, met her gaze then suddenly changed the subject.

It said, “By the way, do you know… I’ve never actually liked your Eyes of Golden Flame. I prefer the original color of your eyes, much nicer than those fierce red ones.”

Bai Qiuwu’s face turned slightly red. She frowned slightly, turned her face away, and her gaze drifted towards the city.

Both of them were silent for a while, sharing the serene air on the elevated bridge.

“Speaking of which… how long has it been since you last tried to scream your lungs out?” the strange thing suddenly asked.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qiuwu said, “It’s been a long time… a really long time. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever shouted at anyone since I was little, let alone tried shouting into an empty space.”

“Then how about doing what you call a stupid thing and shouting towards the city?”

“No.”

“Such a firm rejection, you’ve hurt my feelings.” the strange thing looked down and clutched its chest, “Since it’s your birthday today, doing something outrageous once in a while is not so bad.”

“That’s just too weird.”

“What’s so strange about it, could it be stranger than me?” said the strange thing.

Hearing this, Bai Qiuwu curled up the corners of her mouth lightly, “You have a point, perhaps there’s no one stranger than you in this world.” Saying this, she bowed her head and pondered for a moment.

After a while, she slowly lifted her head and asked, “What should I shout?”

“Shout what’s in your heart.”

“Will you give a demonstration first?”

“Absolutely no problem.”

The strange thing spread its hands and shook its head gently while speaking. Then, turning to the side, it gazed at the Superhero Tower in the distance with the S.H.A. logo and shouted, “I really wish to be treated like a super villain! You damn superheroes, one day I will show you the might of the Lord of the strange thing, the super villain.”

Bai Qiuwu was stunned for two seconds, and then her cheeks puffed slightly as she couldn’t help raising her hand to her mouth and giggling softly.

The strange thing, out of breath from shouting, clutched its chest, “Now it’s your turn, Miss Bai Qiuwu.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuwu hesitated for a moment and then closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.

Moments later, she suddenly opened her mouth and shouted towards the brightly-lit city, “I don’t want to…”

She stopped midway as if her voice were stuck in her throat. After two seconds, she opened her mouth again and said in a voice so soft it was barely audible, “Never mind, I can’t do it.”

“Your voice can be a little louder.”

“I don’t want to…”

Bai Qiuwu raised her voice slightly.

“You can make it just a little bit louder, there’s no one here but me…” said the strange thing, suddenly covering its ears, “If you don’t want me to hear, I can cover my ears.”

No sooner had it finished speaking than, amidst the silence, Bai Qiuwu took a deep breath, lifted her hand wrapped in gauntlets like a trumpet, and lowly shouted something.

The girl’s shout echoed on the empty elevated bridge, but was soon overtaken by the whistling of the wind.

The strange thing, with its ears covered, didn’t hear anything.

After a while, it released its hands and curiously asked, “What did you say?”

“I said…” Bai Qiuwu lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then shouted towards the brightly-lit city, “I don’t want to die—!”

Her hair danced in the wind as the hoarse voice traveled through the night sky towards the distance.

The strange thing was stunned for a long time, scratching his ear.

Bai Qiuwu seemed to have more to say, catching her breath and continuing to shout towards the city.

Though no one responded to her words.

A moment later, she fell silent for a while, then mumbled to herself, “It feels good to shout it out… ”

“Unexpectedly, you did well. Miss Bai Qiuwu, it seems you are the kind that surprises people when you unleash your true self?” the strange thing squinted at her.

Bai Qiuwu said softly, “It feels very strange to hear you call me by my name.”

“So, Miss Qiuwu?”

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

“Miss Sun Wukong?”

“Well, I’m used to that.”

“Oh, did you know? Both ‘Miss Bai Qiuwu’ and ‘Miss Qiuwu’ are holiday limited editions,” said the strange thing seriously. “Today is your birthday, so that’s why I addressed you that way. After today, you won’t hear me talk like this anymore. Wouldn’t you miss it if you insisted on being called ‘Miss Sun Wukong’?”

Bai Qiuwu pondered for a couple of seconds and then said, “Alright then. But after my birthday, you have to call me normally.”

“Sure thing, Miss Qiuwu,” said the strange thing.

“You said you’d help me protect them,” Bai Qiuwu paused, “but don’t you really dislike Mingye?”

“I do dislike him, because he’s loathsome, arrogant, disrespectful, and has no regard for rules, always displaying his sense of humor at the most inappropriate moments.”

Bai Qiuwu interjected, “Just like you?”

The strange thing paused, stroked its chin, and looked down in thought for a while.
