Wei Liwei raised her head slightly and looked at Xi Wang. After making sure that he was not approaching her and was not paying attention to her, she slowly crawled to the table and started eating bit by bit.

"…………"x2

Silence permeated, but Xiwang had gotten used to it. During these days, from [that incident] to now, Xiwang had become very familiar with the entire process of taking care of Weiwei.

Not long after Wei Liwei went out for a trip with her parents, they encountered a special [disaster], and then... Wei Liwei's parents died, and she was the only one who survived with the timely help of the rescue team.

As for what the [disaster] was? Well... according to the official documents, it should be a landslide. When Wei Weiwei was telling the story, after hesitating for a long time, she admitted that it was a landslide, and it was a large area.

Hearing that this [disaster] caused a lot of casualties, the government promptly dispatched special forces for rescue, but only managed to save a single digit of lives... and Weiwei happened to be among them.

Because this [disaster] was so severe and had such a huge impact, and considering the significant mental impact on the survivors, each survivor received a large amount of [compensation] from the government.

And this [compensation] is extremely generous even for a [wealthy] family like Weiwei's, so generous that it gives people a feeling of [hush money].

Moreover, as the only child left in the family, Wei Wei naturally received the full amount of this [compensation], which also attracted the attention of some ill-intentioned [relatives]. In order to get this unexpected fortune, they began to frequently get close to Wei Wei, and wanted to use the excuse that Wei Wei was not yet an adult (although she was close to adulthood), and then use some additional methods to pry some of the [compensation] from Wei Wei.

It just so happened that because of the death of her parents and having witnessed the [disaster] with her own eyes, Wei Wei had suffered a huge mental shock and was completely unconscious... If I put in a little more effort at this time, I might be able to get all the [compensation] out of Wei Wei.

The death of her parents, the incomprehensible [disaster], the generous [compensation], the [relatives] who obviously had ill intentions... the continuous shocks made Wei Weiwei a little overwhelmed, so that she had to close the door to visitors, never turn on the lights at any time, and never open the curtains... all this was just to prove that she was [not at home], just to prevent those annoying [relatives] from coming to her house and saying something nonsense.

Since then, Weiwei seemed to have fallen into some kind of extreme state, constantly designing different types of vehicles, from the shell, engine, tires, protective performance and so on... It seemed as if she was thinking, if the original vehicle was designed by her, would that kind of thing not have happened?

In order to achieve the fantasy goal in her heart, Weiwei studied day and night, and her mechanical engineering also made great progress and provided her with constant inspiration.

However, she was not satisfied with any of the versions she designed. In the end, Weiwei began to deviate from the original direction and started to conceive of various weapons. She designed the vehicle in the direction of a "tank", as if what she was facing was not a natural disaster, but some kind of... "monster", a more specific "thing".

During this process, Xi Wang has been taking care of her... Although Wei Erwei has closed the door to visitors, relying on the little secret passage unknown to outsiders, Xi Wang is one of the "few" people who can contact Wei Erwei.

However, even with Xi Wang, Wei Erwei kept her distance at this moment. Apart from allowing him to enter the house, she hardly spoke to Xi Wang, and there was a vigilance in her eyes when she looked at him that had never been there before.

At this moment, she was like a sensitive hedgehog, curling up herself and showing her sharp thorns to the outside world, just to protect the remaining softness in her heart... Xi Wang knew what she was thinking and her current situation, so he didn't care. He just tidied up the things around him and cleaned up simply. Well... at most he would say a few words to her about whether she had eaten on time.

Dang clang——

It was the sound of a spoon being put into a bowl...she had finished eating.

"…………"x2

There were no accidents today. She didn't say anything. After finishing her meal, she just curled up at the foot of the bed and silently watched Xi Wang who was busy in her room.

Xi Wang did the same, just minding his own business, collecting the scattered design drafts and classifying them according to numbers. When he found something that interested him, he would take it in his hand and look at it for a few times. He did not praise it, but showed a little appreciation in his eyes. Then he put it back and did not do anything unnecessary.

But this time, after Xiwang sorted out all the design drafts, Wei Erwei... spoke.

"Is it the same for Xiwang?"

There was a hint of rejection and vigilance in her words, and the meaning behind them was... also very unfriendly.

"Just like those guys, they said they were coming to take care of me under the guise of being relatives, but in fact they were just after the [compensation]... That's why Xi Wang has been coming to take care of me all this time, relying on his familiarity with me and the secret passage I told you to secretly come and take care of me."

"Take advantage of my bad mood to care for me, and use a little bit of advantage to make me slowly accept you, and then invite me and fall in love with me, and then... use some tricks, so that you can get your share of the [compensation]... right?"

That's what she said.

Xi Wang stopped cleaning the dishes and slowly sat on the ground opposite her, keeping himself shorter than her, and looked at her.

"I'm glad you're willing to talk to me... Otherwise I would have suspected that you had some mental illness, such as autism... It would be terrible if the world's number one magician in the future was autistic. It would be difficult for him to perform in front of a crowd."

Xi Wang smiled, maintaining her usual smile, and spoke softly.

"As for your question... I have no way to answer it. After all, once you have determined an answer, you will have strong doubts about what others say... and once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will continue to sprout and grow, and cannot be removed... I hope that this problem will not arise in our friendship."

"Of course, if you really want me to answer..."

Xi Wang looked at her, tilted his head, and said with a hint of joking.

"My answer is - no."

"Although the [compensation] is indeed very generous, but... well... to be honest, I have a few friends whose family backgrounds are much more exaggerated than this, and I have a pretty good relationship with their families, so to be honest, I don't feel anything."

"As for the [method] you mentioned... Ha, if I really proposed it, would you refuse it?"

"........."

Wei Liwei didn't reply, but there was an intense struggle in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, girls should take good care of themselves and not be easily deceived by any bad man... Even I am no exception."

Xi Wang shrugged and said casually.

"As for why I'm here to take care of you... it's just my bad luck. I've known you for so long, but I'm still worried about you... and you don't want to see anyone else, so I have no choice but to take care of you. It would be terrible if you starved to death in your room."

"The future world's number one magician starved to death before he could grow up... It would be funny if the late emperor starved to death before he could even start his business."

"You! I... I can cook for myself... I'm not stupid... I don't even know I'm hungry..."

Weiwei retorted unhappily.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I don't know who brought me a pot of charcoal and told me it was braised pork last time? And he even burned the pot. Who was that little cutie?"

"Me! You! Just wait and see! I will definitely cook better than you in the future!"

"Okay, okay, then I'll look forward to that day."

Xi Wang spoke in a doting tone, then reached out and touched her forehead, and touched her head out of habit... This time, Wei Erwei did not dodge.

"It's really great to see you cheer up. Well... I'll leave after I finish washing the dishes. You should go to bed early tonight. I'll come again tomorrow."

After saying that, Xi Wang packed up the dishes, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait...wait a minute..."

Weiwei reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Xiwang, do you really... have no idea at all?"

"...If possible, I would prefer that you keep the compensation yourself and do what you want to do."

Xiwang's tone was normal.

"After all, you are your uncle and aunt's proudest daughter, the future world's number one magician. Well... maybe there will be many world's number one magicians in the future."

Xiwang thought of Wei Erwei's design drafts and added a sentence at the end.

"So I'm looking forward to seeing you like that... like a star, that's going to be awesome."

"........."

“Is that so…ah…”

Weiwei slowly loosened her hand.

"Um...thank you..."

Her voice was weak.

"And...I'm sorry..."

"You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

Xi Wang didn't care much about it. He just turned around and smiled at her again, speaking softly.

"But, it's better to eat on time in the future, okay? Taking care of yourself is the first priority... Well... But it doesn't matter. If you really can't help it, just call me. I will take care of you."

"You can come to my place anytime to [rest] if you want."

Xi Wang said this and then closed the door.

"........."

Weiwei listened quietly to his footsteps as he came down the stairs, the sound of water washing dishes, and finally, the sound of the door closing as he left.

Moving to the window, and watching him carefully leave through the gap, the corners of Wei Wei's mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and then quickly fell back.

He patted his face gently to cheer himself up, then went to the bathroom and faced himself in the mirror.

"... What natural disaster? You must be kidding. A white [monster] that appeared out of nowhere, something that goes against common sense... How could it be a natural disaster?"

Weiwei murmured softly to herself in the mirror.

"And they reacted so quickly... The troops came to support them so quickly... Is it some unknown research? It must be... yes, right?"

"I will find the answer... I will..."

"I can do it... just like I did before... just like I imitated him before... I can do it..."

"...No, in addition to these, I also need...someone who can cook...Just wait and see, one day, my food will amaze you."

"And...and..."

As Weiwei whispered to herself, her expression in the mirror became increasingly strange and changeable.

It seemed as if she at this moment was not just Wei Liwei.

But... no matter what, she is just Velvet.

Chapter 5124 Weiwei, just wait, I’ll catch you soon! ()

[In the following days, you took care of Wei Wei as usual, and Wei Wei's attitude towards you returned to what it was before. She was lively and confident, and occasionally she would do some work. She would also stick to you when she felt "tired", showing her timid appearance in front of you, and with your help, she would have a good "rest" for a while, and then she would return to her confident appearance again.]

[And Wei Wei seemed to have a clear goal, and began to fully show her "genius" side. She became familiar with the relevant laws in a short period of time, and drove away all those "relatives" with bad intentions... Although there were still some shameless ones, Wei Wei also found ways to solve them herself.]

[At the same time, because of this incident, almost everyone who has seen Wei Wei has a perception of her - Wei Wei is a little weird]

[When I get along with her, I always feel the changes in her tone and attitude from time to time, and they are extremely obvious. We are chatting happily at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye, Wei Wei's tone will change from joy to indifference, and her posture will change from exaggerated to steady, as if she has become a different person in an instant]

[After realizing that Wei Wei might have some mental problems, many people chose to stay away from her, and Wei Wei was happy with it... Others would not understand what she had seen to become like this, no one else would understand... except you]

[On the one hand, it’s because Weiwei is willing to show her true self in front of you, and is also willing to "rely" on you to a certain extent]

[On the other hand, it’s because... you don’t care, and you don’t pay attention to these things.]

[Like you said, you were just unlucky to meet Wei Liwei, a girl who is not trustworthy. Wei Liwei also happened to be willing to accept you. So if you don't take care of her... who will take care of her? Herself? ]

[Don't be ridiculous. As a person who doesn't even know how to tell whether the food is cooked or not, and finally has to keep turning up the heat to try to cook it thoroughly, and finally burns all the ingredients to charcoal... How can Wei Wei take care of herself? It's your bad luck, and it's because you don't want to get rid of this troublesome person...]

[No matter what, in your eyes, Wei Wei is just Wei Wei, and in front of you, Wei Wei will only be Wei Wei]

[So when everything was over, and Wei Weiwei accepted the generous "compensation", she came to you as soon as possible, happily telling you that everything was over and she succeeded - this was the first time she took the initiative to find you since "that incident"]

[It’s a pity that she came to you at a wrong time... You were still helping the community with Father Enrique, but Velvet came over and hung on your back, happily whispering nonsense in your ear.]

[The others didn't hear clearly what Wei Wei said, but they all saw Wei Wei throwing herself into your arms with a face full of joy (she was clearly hanging on your back), so they all smiled, "I understand, young people are good...", and then looked at the two of you with a loving smile, while urging you to quickly accompany your "little girlfriend", and they can do the rest of the work by themselves]

[You said helplessly that you two were not in that kind of relationship, and Wei Wei nodded repeatedly, telling others not to think only of love and gossip, and that her feelings for you were very pure! ]

[Hmm...it would be better if she didn't keep hanging on your back and saying this]

[It would be better if she didn't smack you on the face when she left]

[It would be even better if she doesn't want to rely on your back and let you carry her away! ]

[Do you want to know how you lived after she did all this?! You left step by step, under the loving gazes of others and the smiles of uncles and aunts, as well as Wei Wei's smile as sweet as a silver bell after her prank was successful!]

[Although you don’t care much about this kind of thing, there are too many people who can’t stand this kind of gaze! And Wei Wei deliberately laughed in your ear, which really makes you angry...]

[…Forget it, now that things have come to this, nothing matters anymore]

[You walked away slowly with a calm look in your eyes. You remained silent all the way to Wei Wei's words. It was not until you took her to a quieter place that you began to lecture her... although this was of no use to Wei Wei.]

[While you were preaching, Wei Wei was smiling the whole time, just quietly accepting your "concern"... She even nodded from time to time, saying that she would definitely do it next time.]

[In the end, you had no choice but to knock her head and pinch her face to save yourself from having to look at her weird smile... Anyway, let's just let this go for now, as long as Wei Wei can cheer up.]

[However, on the second day, Wei Wei left. She only sent you a message online and left immediately. She didn’t even answer the video call... She didn’t even say goodbye formally, which made you quite surprised and helpless.]

[After two or three days, Wei Wei took the initiative to call you and told you that she had arrived in the new city... It was a place far away from your "home" and even from the school you were going to, and this place was not the school Wei Wei was going to.]

[As expected, this behavior made you give Wei Wei a lecture, and she just smiled and listened patiently... because she knew that in the end, as long as you knew that all this was her own choice, you would definitely stop and accept it helplessly.]

[And the final result was not beyond her expectations. After repeatedly stating that this was her wish and that she had the ability to protect herself, you finally accepted this reality helplessly... and then asked her why she didn't say goodbye to you properly, and why she didn't answer the phone calls in the following days... She couldn't be found during those days, which made you and Father Enrique nervous, fearing that something had happened to her.]

[Speaking of this, Wei Erwei, who was originally talking about what she was going to do next, suddenly became a little shy. She hesitated for a long time and finally could only come up with an excuse of "she forgot" to evade you.]

[She can't possibly say that she's afraid to stay with you... so she's going to change her mind after making it so hard, right?]

[She can't live too comfortably by your side, she must find out the real cause of "that incident" and the true face of those "monsters"... She wants to find out why her parents died.]

[Of course, before that, she still needs to make some preparations, which is why she came to this new city - here, she can find the best mentors and learn all the skills she needs]

[As for how to become a mentor's student... forge an identity, create some coincidences appropriately, and show some talent. Hey~ isn't that it? ]
