Douluo: The Road to Invincibility Begins with Bibi Dong

Chapter 375: When you were a child, how did you behave like a normal child?
Xiao Wu's helpless yet relieved attitude deeply hurt Tang San's heart, causing him to feel a surge of pain and despair.

He would rather Xiao Wu hate him than see Xiao Wu as if she had completely let go of him.

"No, it's not what you think."

"Xiao Wu, listen to my explanation. At that time, I really didn't know my father's true identity. At that time, I really didn't know that you were a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast."

"Believe me, I really didn't lie to you."

"I don't even know your soul beast's identity, so how could I possibly think of plotting against your soul rings and soul bones?"

"Even if you don't believe what I said, I was only a few years old at the time. How could I possibly conspire with my father to take away your spirit ring and spirit bone?"

"Even if I really have that idea, do you think a child of a few years old can behave flawlessly in front of you without you noticing it at all?"

Tang San's body couldn't stop shaking, tears glistened in his eyes, and he wished he could take his heart out so that Xiao Wu would believe that everything he said was true.

Xiao Wu shook her head gently: "You are still lying to me even now. Tell me yourself, when you were a child, how did you behave like a normal child?"

"Oh, that doesn't seem to be quite accurate."

Xiao Wu paused for a moment, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Looking back now, the feeling you gave me at the time seemed very awkward and uncomfortable."

"You are a child, but you usually behave like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, lifeless and without the vitality of a child or teenager."

"You are mature and steady, but a lot of the time you seem childish and hard to understand."

When Tang San heard this, his body trembled violently, and a look of panic and unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.

He is a time traveler and an adult.

How could an adult who travels back in time to a child's body behave like a child?

But what does the word childish mean in Xiaowu’s words?
Tang San always thought that he was mature and steady. Deep down in his heart, he always felt that he was playing with a child.

An adult soul has lived in this world for so many years, and in his heart, he always feels that he is mature and charming.

But now he was being called childish, and it came from the girl he liked. How could he accept this?

Xiao Wu ignored Tang San's ugly expression and continued to speak: "Although I am a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, I was ignorant before, and I have never been exposed to your human society. My cognition after transformation is actually not much different from that of your human children."

"That's why I didn't notice anything wrong with you at the time."

"As I've lived in your human society for a longer time, now when I think back to your past, your behavior really makes me feel uncomfortable."

"I think I told you before that you look just like those old guys in the academy."

"This sentence is actually my truest feeling at the time. I just felt that you didn't behave like a teenager."

"It feels like there's an old man's soul living in your body."

"If you behave maturely all the time, I wouldn't think there's anything wrong with you doing that."

"But do you still remember that you suddenly and inexplicably asked me to be your sister, and you said it with red eyes."

"The reason is also a little puzzling to me now that I am older. You said you really hope to have another relative." "After I called you brother, you actually cried."

"At that time, I was inexperienced and no different from a child of yours. I didn't understand why you were crying, and I didn't understand why your wish to have another family became the reason for you to cry and ask me to be your sister. It's not like you don't have any family."

"You wanted to have another relative, and you wanted me to be your sister. But now that I think about it, you didn't treat me like a relative at that time."

"I was ignorant at the time, but you have always behaved very maturely. There is no reason for you not to know that your attitude towards me has somewhat exceeded the boundaries of a close sister."

"You acted mature like an old man, but you cried and asked an ignorant little girl to be your sister, and you even said you wanted to have another relative."

"Others promised you, but you behaved beyond the boundaries of what you should do to your loved ones."

"Do you still remember that time when I called you brother, I asked you, 'Can I stop calling you brother?'"

"The reason I gave you is that I am the eldest brother of Notting College. How can others look at me when I suddenly have a brother?"

"What else do you think I could say at that time except for this almost childish excuse?"

"Tell me yourself, does your behavior make others feel awkward?"

Xiao Wu had just entered human society, and her ignorance of human emotions and behaviors was no different from that of a child.

At that time, she felt that Tang San was very good to her and had a good relationship with her, so she was also good to Tang San and did not think there was anything wrong with Tang San.

But so many years have passed, as she has grown older, and as she has worked as a teacher at Shrek Academy, she has come into contact with more and more humans, and her understanding of them has become deeper and deeper.

Looking back now, putting aside the emotional filter between each other and looking back at Tang San back then, I always feel that Tang San's performance becomes more and more awkward the more I watch.

Then she thought about what Li Ling had told her, that the soul occupying Tang San's body was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

When Xiao Wu thought of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with a child's face and tears in his eyes, asking a little girl to be his sister, she felt the hairs on her body stand up.

If it were her back then, even if she put aside the emotional filter of growing up together, she would definitely not have the awkward and numbing feeling she has now.

Not to mention that he was a middle-aged soul in his thirties or forties, with a child's face, crying and asking her to be his sister.

It was just an old man who came to her and cried, asking her to be his sister. Based on her knowledge at that time and the limited knowledge she had about humans, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Now, she looks at Tang San with the mentality of an adult human being, and always feels uncomfortable with Tang San.

Tang San's face turned blue and purple. Being evaluated like this by the woman he loved really made him feel ashamed. He wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

But no matter what Xiao Wu said to him, he couldn't hate her or get angry.

Just as Xiao Wu said, he gives people a very awkward feeling.

He is an adult soul, but he could cry and ask a little girl to be his sister, and the reason was that confusing thing: he really wanted to have another relative.

This inexplicable behavior would make any slightly mature child, let alone an adult, feel awkward and puzzled.
