Chapter 1018 Literal Meaning
"Have you encountered anything strange recently?"
Xiao Xiao ignored the woman's glare and said calmly, "Maybe you ate something strange?"
"Have you met any strange people yet?"
"Is there any?"
Xiao Xiao's series of questions stunned everyone present.
The woman paused and looked at Xiao Xiao strangely, "What do you mean?"
"What's weird or not?"
"Why don't I quite understand what you want to ask?"
"Literally."
Xiao Xiao's words made the woman roll her eyes subconsciously.
Literally?
"What are you doing? Are you a detective?"
The girl's tone was not very good, "Are these my privacy?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Do you want to die?"
Xiao Xiao asked in a calm tone and made everyone stunned.
The tone was as natural as if he was asking just an everyday greeting along the lines of "Have you eaten today?"
The woman's eyes instantly dilated.
I was so surprised that I couldn't say anything for a while.
Her lips were trembling slightly.
What...this guy...means? !
……
The female companions fared no better.
Mainly, these words came too suddenly.
Moreover, this young man does not look like someone who would say such a thing.
A refreshing scent of books.
The expressionless look on his face at this time revealed a bit of coolness and indifference,
No longer as gentle as before.
This kind of middle-level line that only appears in TV dramas... it felt a bit calm when the other party said it.
It's like... he means it.
……
Zhang Bo and others were no less shocked than the woman and her companions.
Did the third brother take the wrong medicine today?
This was the first thought that flashed through their minds.
But soon, they reached out to rub their cheeks and looked at each other, their eyes looking thoughtful.
Because they had been with Xiao Xiao for a long time, after the initial shock, they realized something was wrong.
They knew that Xiao Xiao was not someone who would say such things.
At least, I wouldn't say this for no reason.
Now that I have said it...then there must be a reason.
"Do you want to die?"
They repeated Xiao Xiao's question in their minds, looking at the woman with a certain amount of consideration.
What... happened to her?
……
"You-"
The woman finally made a sound, with an angry smile on her face, showing a bit of ferocity. Her low tone clearly told everyone that she was in a very unhappy mood, "Are you provoking me?"
"Kids today are really poisoned by TV dramas, and they say anything stupid."
"Who do you think you are?"
"Ah!"
The woman yelled as if to vent her anger, and then ruffled her hair several times.
She stared at Xiao Xiao, her face full of irritation, "Boy, I think you want to die?"
"Although I am a woman, I am not someone to be trifled with."
The woman's lips curved into a "kind" smile, "I don't think you know how to respect your elders at all."
"Sister, please kindly teach you."
……
"Xiao Zhao!"
The short-haired woman was so frightened by the woman's words that she immediately hugged the other person's arm tightly, "Calm down, calm down."
"Impulse is the devil."
"And-"
The other party is four big boys.
The short-haired woman looked nervous, and her voice was distorted.
……
"Wait."
The man with black-rimmed glasses stretched out his hand to stop the woman from running away. He pushed up his glasses with one hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with the other hand. He felt confused and his temples were twitching uncomfortably.
What kind of bizarre development is this?
He didn't understand at all, how could things become like this? "Xiao Zhao, don't get excited yet."
"Ask the matter clearly first before talking."
He looked at Xiao Xiao and tried his best to twitch his lips, "This little brother, can you explain what you just said?"
The other party had clearly stated that he would not pursue the matter and had already planned to leave.
What did he mean when he suddenly turned around and said such a misleading statement?
"If you are still angry about my friend's offense to you today-"
After much deliberation, this was the only reason he could think of.
As expected, he was a student and couldn't stand a little anger.
But isn't this a bit too cautious?
What happened when a girl said something to me? No piece of meat will fall off.
Do you want to die just because you threaten the other party like this...
Is it too much of a fuss?
……
"No."
Xiao Xiao spoke up to interrupt the man with black-framed glasses.
"I'm asking literally."
"Literally?"
Everyone said in unison.
The literal meaning of “Do you want to die”?
Why? !
"Wait-"
The short-haired woman exclaimed, "Then..."
"You mean-"
The short-haired woman hesitated to express her understanding, "Xiao Zhao is in danger?!"
Did she understand correctly?
Is that what the other party meant?
But, how is it possible? !
This is fine, what danger could Xiao Zhao be in?
Is this person trying to curse Xiao Zhao?
……
"This little brother, can you be more detailed?"
The man with black-framed glasses pinched the bridge of his nose again, and things were really getting weirder.
"We don't quite understand."
"What danger did Xiao Zhao encounter?"
"Isn't she here well now?"
……
"You answer my previous question first."
Xiao Xiao looked at the woman.
The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when her three companions stared at her, "Xiao Zhao!"
"No? Do you really believe what this guy says?"
The woman looked in disbelief, "He is obviously talking nonsense, right?"
How could someone who is usually so smart be so stupid today?
……
"It doesn't hurt to listen first."
The man with black-rimmed glasses was unmoved by the woman's words.
"Yeah."
The short-haired woman and the other man nodded.
It is naturally impossible to say that they completely believe what this young man said.
They are all people who have entered society, and they are not so naive yet.
Moreover, what the other party said was a bit too incomprehensible.
But, "What reason did he have to lie to us?"
Before today, they had never met each other.
The conflict between him and the woman was just a minor friction.
"Who knows?"
"Maybe he just wants to play a trick on me."
The woman pouted.
……
"I'm not that bored."
Xiao Xiao slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "If your life is not in danger, I don't mind if you learn a lesson from this."
After all, he didn't have a good temper for the woman's accusations against him.
However, since human lives are involved, it is not the time to lose your temper.
There are some questions that need to be asked clearly.
Such as the source of poisoning.
Otherwise, if he had just detoxified her, she might be poisoned again in the same place later.
He couldn't keep an eye on her all the time.
Now that we have decided to take action, it is better to "eliminate the root cause" and avoid future troubles forever.
