I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

571. Walnut's Healthy Gymnastics

"If I had known you cared so much, I shouldn't have said so much..."

"Hey, it's too late to regret now~~!"

After saying this, Hu Tao touched her flat chest again, and her face flushed slightly.

All I heard was her shyly saying, “Next time, it would be nice if there was growth in other places as well.”

“Hahahaha~~” Ye Ming couldn’t help but said, “It’s still too early for you.”

"Boom..."

Walnut puffed up her lips and said unconvincedly:

"This kind of thing happens very quickly. It won't be long before they grow up."

I know who you are thinking of.

[Poor walnut doesn't know that some people haven't grown up in 50,000 years]

[Rather, Master Hu is indeed very peaceful.]

[In other words, I didn’t grow up in the end (sad)]

"Hu Tao, I didn't know you cared about this kind of thing?"

Seeing this, Kiana was very surprised. She and Kurumi had been together for the longest time, but after all these years as classmates, Kiana had never seen Kurumi mention anything like this.

"Eh? Wait, wait..."

Seeing that the secret she had kept in her heart was exposed, Kurumi, with a nervous look on her face, hurriedly explained:

"Isn't this just a made-up story in the video? Why do all of you take it so seriously?"

"Hu Walnut...what else do you have to say now?"

This explanation is already outdated by who knows how many versions.

"I don't really care~~~!"

Walnut tried to cover up her shame with her energetic and lively side, but the blush on her skin had already betrayed her.

"This kind of thing is something you only talk about when you are a kid and don't know anything. When you grow up, you think it's childish."

Hu Tao had just come up with a barely convincing excuse when she began her classic project in the video: dismantling herself in real life.

Little Walnut put his hands on his hips and shouted confidently in the face of Ye Ming's ridicule:

"Just wait. I've learned some growth exercises from Chunhyang Kiln recently. I'll definitely grow up."

"Why would Chunxiangyao teach this?"

Isn't that a spice shop?

"I'm not teaching you. I saw my boss, Sister Ying'er, doing that gymnastics every day. She said it would make girls more attractive, so I learned it."

"Ugh……"

Ye Ming sighed helplessly:

"Strange literature, funeral ceremonies, and all this... Don't you have any normal hobbies?"

How can a Walnut like this play with other people?

"..."

Hu Tao was silent for a while, then made a face at Ye Ming:

"Never mind~! Just wait to be amazed."

So after that, no matter whether Ye Ming came or not, Hu Tao would insist on doing growth exercises at home.

Ordinary audiences will only find Walnut’s one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four cute when they see her counting one, two, three, four.

But in reality, Hu Tao was just like Ganyu before, standing in front of everyone and muttering shamefully:

"S-Stop looking at it! What's so good about this!"

"Isn't it just calisthenics? What's wrong with watching it?"

Bronya was very curious, she didn't understand why Kurumi was so excited, while Kiana looked thoughtful.

After a moment, Kiana suddenly realized:

"Isn't this the gymnastics you did every day in your college dormitory?"

"I'm not, I'm not..."

"At that time you lied to me and said it would help me sleep, but it turned out to be growth exercises."

"Oh~~"

After hearing Kiana's description, Jizi and the others all reacted.

"You say you're not interested in that kind of thing, but you're still working hard behind the scenes, Master Hu?"

"Woo! I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

Kurumi had only taken a few steps when she was pushed back by the two thunder gods, Ying and Mei.

"It's a disaster that everyone can't avoid, how can you run away?"

"That's not what you just said!"

Walnut protested while struggling:

"Ten minutes ago you said I was everyone's good friend, but now you're treating me like a criminal."

Keqing said sternly, "Ten minutes ago you said you regarded Ye Ming as your brother, and now you want to marry him."

Walnut cried, "It's just a joke! How can you take children's words seriously?"

Ah Ci pointed out logically: "Since it is just the nonsense of a child, the misunderstanding will be resolved later. Since the misunderstanding can be resolved, why do you want to run away?"

"I..." Faced with Aci's impeccable theory, Hu Tao was completely speechless this time.

·············

The video continued. That day, Ye Ming had just coaxed the tired Gan Yu to sleep and was planning to go visit Hu Tao.

Just as he was passing the port, he suddenly saw a group of children playing happily.

It was originally just an insignificant matter, but after Ye Ming took a few steps, he saw Hu Tao there from a distance.

To be precise, Walnut was sitting on the wall of the bungalow, watching the group of his peers playing alone.

The iconic plum blossom pupils no longer had the former spirit, and the bored look was not as quirky as usual.

Hu Tao, who was dragging her face and kicking her legs, was completely different from the girl in front of Ye Ming.

"Walnut...ah..."

Ye Ming was just about to walk over and ask why he didn't play with everyone else, but Hu Tao left without noticing him.

It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on people's bodies, giving them a warm look.

Only when the light shines on the black body of the walnut, there is a sense of loneliness like withered vines, old trees and crows.

Although the laughter of her peers was not far away, Hu Tao seemed to be isolated from the world.

"strangeness……"

Ye Ming suddenly recalled that when they first met, Hu Tao said that she couldn't find a suitable person to marry when they were playing house.

Listening to her comments on other people's appearance is like a king choosing a concubine.

Ye Ming imagined the other children surrounding Hu Tao.

But now it seems that Hu Tao, the "king of children", is like the king of a fallen country.

"When you are playing the devil to catch someone, you cannot be passive and lazy. This is a foul."

Just when Ye Ming was confused, the child next to him started to make noise again:

"If you continue like this, the people from the Hall of Rebirth will come and arrest you."

"That's right, I'll take you to see the King of Hell~!"

"Hey, don't scare me."

In just a few words, Ye Ming understood the whole cause and effect.

Adults would keep their distance when they see people doing evil things, but for children, I’m afraid they would have to remove the word “respect” and just keep their distance.

"There is really no way..."

Ye Ming smiled bitterly, and then came to the Hall of Rebirth.

He specifically told his secretary not to disturb anyone else and quietly came to the backyard of the Wangsheng Hall.

There, facing the wall, Kurumi said to himself:

"You be the student, and I'll be the teacher... huh? Oh my, who still wants to play house at this age? This is called a mock school."

572. Your unconventional logic is worthy of you

"walnut."

Ye Ming called her from behind, calling the girl who was talking to herself facing the wall.

"!!"

At that moment, Ye Ming could clearly see that Hu Tao's slender shoulders trembled violently, and he could also hear her originally steady breathing becoming more and more rapid.

"No...it's not like that..."

Walnut explained hurriedly:

"I...I was just talking to the little ghost, not talking to myself."

Ye Ming did not delve into this, but just smiled and said:

"Yeah, imaginary friends are also friends, isn't that good?"

“Right, right!”

"It's just that it would be better if there were real friends."

"..."

Walnut lowered his head and said sadly:

"You know everything?"

"Well, it's not that hard to guess."

After being pointed out that her peers were alienating her, Kurumi no longer concealed the fact and just said unhappily:

"No one wants to play with me, saying that I deal with the dead and it's unlucky."

"But we have been doing this for generations. What's so unlucky about it?"

Ye Ming didn't say much, just gently stroked Hu Tao's head.

But who would have thought that Hu Tao could still put on an expression criticizing other kids just now, but after being comforted by Ye Ming, she looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing Hu Tao like this, Ye Ming simply hugged her in his arms, then gently rubbed her back to help her relax.

"Woo!"

However, just when Hu Tao was about to fall into Ye Ming's arms, she seemed to realize something, and hurriedly pushed Ye Ming away and stood in front of him.

"what happened?"

"My grandfather comforted me in the same way when I was sad."
