Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 42 A Complex Relationship with Xiao Wu

The back hill of Shrek Academy

At the edge of a cliff, a waterfall flows straight down, and a stream leads into the distance.

The dirt path is lined with newly planted trees, lush flowers and grasses, and birdsong filling the air with fragrance—a verdant and refreshing place.

However, Chen Xuan was not in the mood to appreciate it; instead, he was a little nervous because there was a pink figure in front of him.

After arriving here, no one spoke; they remained silent, creating an odd and eerily quiet atmosphere.

Chen Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable. He moved his mouth, but then fell silent, unsure how to begin. This had happened many times before.

Not long ago, he returned to the college and first went to report to Dean Flander.

Afterwards, he was walking on the road in the academy when he ran into Ning Rongrong. After a conversation, he learned what had happened after he left.

Since the day he left, Xiao Wu has stayed indoors and her mental state has been very poor. She locks herself in her room all day, and no amount of persuasion from anyone can help her.

Recently, with the encouragement of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, her emotions have stabilized and she is finally willing to go out. However, when asked why, she still refuses to say.

Chen Xuan felt extremely guilty and immediately rushed to the women's dormitory. However, to his shock, Xiao Wu was already there waiting for him.

后上

On the edge of a cliff, a silver waterfall hangs down, its waters converging into a stream that flows into the distance.

Looking at the pink figure in front of him, Chen Xuan was very troubled, not knowing how to repay her.

"Is this your attitude?" At this moment, an extremely cold voice rang out, filled with chilling intent.

Xiao Wu didn't turn around, still facing away from Chen Xuan, displaying complete indifference.

Chen Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words caught in his throat, and he said nothing.

Because he could clearly sense that Xiao Wu was suppressing her anger. He was a sinner now, and anything he said would only anger her. The best way was to shut up.

He knew this day would come eventually and was prepared to face it, but now he realized how powerless he felt and what to do.

Regardless of the cause, he bears an inescapable responsibility, after all, that crystal radish was made by him.

Little did he know that the damned fruit only worked when consumed by both a man and a woman; if he had known this beforehand, he wouldn't have just given it away carelessly.

As a man, Chen Xuan wanted to take responsibility, but he knew very well that Xiao Wu loved Tang San from beginning to end, so did he need to take responsibility?

"I'm sorry," he said earnestly, and no matter what, he still apologized.

He ruined a girl's innocence, and regardless of the cause, he should take responsibility and show the appropriate attitude.

"What's the use of saying sorry now?" Xiao Wu turned around abruptly, her face ashen, her eyes flashing with hatred as she glared angrily at Chen Xuan.

Her fists clenched and trembled slightly, her not-so-full chest rising and falling gently, enough to show how intense her anger was, which she had been suppressing.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Chen Xuan could only repeat, apologizing again. He certainly didn't want this to happen.

However, these words completely ignited Xiao Wu's anger, which she could no longer suppress.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, what else can you say besides sorry!" Xiao Wu burst out, her whole body trembling slightly.

"Can a simple 'I'm sorry' restore my innocence? Can saying 'I'm sorry' allow me to return to Third Brother's side?"

Xiao Wu roared, her voice hoarse with rage.

Chen Xuan remained silent, unable to respond.

"It's all my fault. If you need me, I'll take responsibility for you," he said, ready to swear an oath right now.

"Take responsibility?" Xiao Wu suddenly laughed, a somewhat morbid laugh, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"What makes you think you can take responsibility? What ability do you have to take responsibility? You've taken my innocence away. Do you think a simple 'sorry' or 'take responsibility' will restore my innocence?!" Xiao Wu roared, glaring at Chen Xuan with resentment.

"Jiangzhu clearly likes you so much, why did you do that to me!"

"I don't want your apology, I don't want your responsibility, I don't want anything!" Xiao Wu roared, her voice hoarse. As she spoke, her eyes reddened and filled with tears.

She collapsed to the ground, hugging her legs and curling up, burying her head in her knees, sobbing softly, "I don't want anything, I just want my innocence, I just want to go back to Third Brother."

Seeing Xiao Wu break down and cry, Chen Xuan felt a mix of emotions. He reached out his hand from afar, but given his status, there was nothing he could do.

He sat down as well, but did not approach, quietly watching Xiao Wu and guarding her from the side.

Time passed, the sun set in the west, and the horizon was ablaze with crimson; soon it was evening.

As the sun sets, the evening glow resembles a golden brocade, painting the vast sky.

The sunset glow, like brocade, reflects on the stream below the waterfall, while the clouds on the horizon dance leisurely, creating a romantic and poignant painting.

The golden afterglow of the sunset fell upon Xiao Wu, bathing her hair in a hazy glow, giving her the appearance of a divine maiden.

She hugged her legs, buried her head in her knees, and curled up in a ball.

Her crying had stopped long ago, but Chen Xuan did not leave. Instead, he sat quietly under the big tree.

Because, without realizing it, Xiao Wu fell asleep, drifting off to sleep with cries.

The place has become quiet.

Bathed in the golden glow of the sunset, a gentle evening breeze caressed the woman's hair, soothing her wounded heart and bringing her peace and comfort.

Chen Xuan watched quietly, without leaving, guarding the side, waiting for Xiao Wu to wake up.

Night deepened, stars twinkled, the white moon hung high, and shimmering moonlight spilled across the earth.

In the end, Chen Xuan couldn't resist making a move and reached out his hands towards Xiao Wu.

The moonlight was beautiful; its hazy glow gently spilled across the tranquil night sky, like a thin veil of silver spread across the land of dreams.

Finally, Xiao Wu leaned against a big tree and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Chen Xuan took out a blanket from his storage soul tool and covered the other person with it.

After doing all this, he went down the mountain, unable to continue guarding her, because his sister was still waiting for his return.

He wanted to stay until dawn, but he couldn't. If he didn't go back, Yiyi would probably go hungry all night.

Chen Xuan went down the mountain and entered the city. Since he didn't know what else Chen Yiyi liked to eat besides chicken legs, he bought some extra food to take back with him.

"elder brother!"

The little girl had been waiting for his return in the yard. When she saw him come back, she rushed over, grabbed his arm, and led him into the house.

"We didn't have any vegetables at home, but I saw some greens growing in the backyard, so I stir-fried them." Chen Yiyi led him to the dining table, where several dishes of greens were laid out.

Thinking about how this girl has been eating these kinds of things since she was a child, and sometimes even vegetables, Chen Xuan felt a lump in his throat and felt very uncomfortable.

He pressed Chen Yiyi down on the sofa, then took out the food he had purchased from his storage device and went into the kitchen.

Shrek Academy

That night, Tang San discovered that Xiao Wu was missing again, and he was as anxious as an ant on a pot of porridge.

It was late at night, and Xiao Wu still hadn't returned.

He was frantic with worry. Why was it that nothing good ever came of that guy surnamed Chen coming back?

The last time Xiao Wu didn't come home at night, and this time she's nowhere to be seen again; both times it's related to Chen Xuan.

Tang San was in a state of turmoil. Both coincidences were related to the other party, which made him think about it more and more.
