Chapter 410 Other People's Little Sisters

"Don't make it sound like I'm just like all your shy, inexperienced suitors."

Xia Er quickly corrected something.

He didn't want the girl to misunderstand his intentions; that would be too boring, too tedious, and too heavy-hearted.

Melissa smiled slightly, but did not respond to those words.

Seeing that the girl didn't blush or anything, Xia Er asked in confusion, "Don't tell me you don't have any suitors. I don't believe that all the young men at Backlund Technical University are so blind."

hum~

Melissa rode her bicycle, avoiding looking at Chael. Although she didn't care, her slight pride was still undeniable.

Admittedly, when Xia Er brought up the topic of suitors, Melissa's science-oriented mindset immediately kicked in; she didn't care at all, as those things would only affect her studies and growth.

"That's more like it; good girls should be this hard to pursue."

Xia Er wasn't angry; instead, he patted Melissa's back with satisfaction.

This girl is so easy to take care of... I really want to take her home and raise her... It's always better to have someone else's little sister.

beep!beep!beep!

Having witnessed and heard everything through the Mystic Puppet—the Wraith—Señor, Klein's mind was racing. Like a lost migratory bird at the crossroads of humanity, he struggled to control his breathing and suppress the urge to rush over and kill Shael.

"What are you doing to my sister, you little brat!"

Klein lost his appetite completely and had no intention of going to a fancy restaurant to contribute to their revenue. He simply bought two sandwiches from a roadside restaurant and kept a close watch on Xia Er and Melissa's next move.

If he didn't act now, he, the guardian of justice, might be turned into a villain by the evil clergy and nobles, and suffer a beating from the black-clad priests in St. Samuel's Cathedral. Klein really wanted to order the Blood General to possess Xia'er right now.

This is outrageous... How did this guy grow up so fast... Wouldn't it be better for him to stay quietly in the lower sequence?

Klein took a vicious bite of the sandwich, the ketchup inside spreading between his lips and teeth as if he were tearing into Xia'er's flesh.

"You have to understand me."

"I've introduced you to Hazel before. I've met many girls like Hazel in my life, and it's rare to meet one like her..."

'

Xia Er seemed unable to find a suitable adjective and got stuck.

"It's not easy to meet a girl like you... who is so careful and considerate of even the smallest act of kindness from you, and who seems to take it all too seriously."

Melissa glanced at Chael and finished his unfinished words for him.

"Don't go too far. Wasn't the help I gave you clever enough?"

"I didn't give you money directly; it was all about making good use of various idle resources. Don't underestimate my ability to get things done."

"You should be surprised, grateful, and genuinely feel that this brother's arrangement was so ingenious that there's absolutely no reason to refuse."

While Xia Er was talking animatedly, Klein was already having trouble breathing.

Klein swore he had never seen such a shameless fellow. What kind of weird ideas was this bastard trying to instill in Melissa?! Had he been so focused on hunting pirates for bounties that he forgot the Robin Hood-like Black Emperor could also rob the rich to help the poor?!

"I really can't refuse, after all, you..."

Melissa was, after all, a polite girl.

"Persistent pursuit?"

"This is a matter of leeway."

"If you really like someone, then you should express it, go to their side, come close to them. What kind of ridiculous thing is it to silently care for them from behind?"

Xia Er has her own logic in life. If you are doing well, I will not bother you. I scoff at that kind of thinking.

Klein felt as if another arrow had pierced his heart.

"Pfft~"

The little girl laughed even harder, and seemingly infected by the laughter, she spoke with less restraint.

I'd rather you were trying to...pursue me, so I could reject you without any guilt.

"But you're not like that at all; what you do is... too satisfying."

Melissa was indeed somewhat troubled.

She now wished that Xia Er was after her face, so she could give him a kiss and then tell him to get lost. She just wanted a normal life. As for giving him a kiss... well... that would be a small reward for her hard work... a small recognition of her efforts.

Honestly, I've invested less than one ten-thousandth of my energy in you.

""

Shael spoke frankly.

"But this little bit of kindness is the limit of what I can bear."

"If you keep going like this, I don't know how... I'll ever find happiness again..."

"Because I'm already very happy..." Melissa blushed and complained softly.

Her world wasn't very big to begin with, and she didn't want much. Her life was good now, and she could definitely get the things she longed for and wanted in the future if she worked hard.

But now, someone has somehow made her experience what she was destined to have in the future, even before she could.

She did want to buy a bicycle, just as Hazel and Megalos had the same idea. She had many ways to get that bicycle.

Benson would give her assistance, and she could also work part-time at school and save money.

If she has the opportunity to collect some materials, she might be able to try assembling it herself.

But then there was this one person who gave her a key, inside which were the materials she needed.

Moreover, his arrangements were indeed quite good. The warehouse was covered in dust, and those things were indeed scraps left in the warehouse, at least for Backlund Technical University.

"Melissa, pfft hahaha~"

Xia Er was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the little girl with some surprise, his eyes seeming to say, "You actually have such a sentimental moment. It turns out that your usual introverted, immersive, and mechanical love means that you still think about all sorts of things in private."

"You're no different from any other young girl."

Xia Er laughed heartily. His laughter wasn't loud or harsh, but it was very infectious.

Melissa was so embarrassed and annoyed that she couldn't ride her bicycle anymore. She could only jump up and push it. She walked quickly for a few steps, but when she realized she couldn't shake off the laughter, she could only let it go. When her emotions calmed down, she stopped pushing her bicycle.

"Please don't cry in the street."

"I'll buy you ice cream to make it up to you."

Xia Er stopped laughing, his voice now pleading. He was genuinely afraid that Mr. Fool wouldn't be able to handle the stimulation and would recklessly switch places with him, disregarding everything else.

If the real 1v1 match were changed, Adam would be laughing his head off.

In fact, Xia'er guessed correctly. In the void behind him, the vengeful spirit doll really intended to kill someone. If Melissa's emotions hadn't seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Klein wouldn't have wanted to think about anything else.
