I'm having EMO, can you help me die?

Chapter 106 No Giving Gifts to Others

I understand. The host's bottom line is money. No, wait, I didn't manage to fool the host with money before.

Shen Qingqing didn't know why she was so sensitive to a bag of money; maybe she had always been this way...

What she didn't know was that it wasn't her sensitivity to money, but rather her guilt over things that didn't belong to her.

That money didn't belong to her; it belonged to the original Shen Qingqing. She couldn't lose it, and her actions were putting that into practice.

Shen Qingqing may never have considered this place as the real world, or perhaps, in her view, it was all an illusion...

She just kept forcing herself not to think about it, not to wake up.

This is not where she wants to live; she has no attachment to this place.

The thought that flashed through her mind was ignored by Shen Qingqing.

She hates overthinking, and often at these times she will hypnotize herself to stop thinking about these things.

[Right side, host!]

Shen Qingqing slammed on the brakes and quickly changed direction.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

"Young hero, spare my life! I'll never dare to do it again!"

A bustling crowd, a black figure, that sword—where did Shen Qingqing seem to have been before?

[Host, isn't this the person who saved you yesterday?]

It seems so.

Only upon closer inspection could one discern the person's attire: a black robe of superior quality, its dark luster gleaming in the moonlight.

The black wolf mask on his face was meticulously crafted, and the hollow design around the eyes perfectly revealed the subtle glint in his eyes.

His eyes are beautiful.

Lazy:?

How could it not know that its host could also be infatuated with girls?

Shen Qingqing simply felt from the bottom of her heart that this person's eyes were beautiful, the kind of beautiful that she wanted to dig out and collect.

She was just using it as a metaphor; she didn't actually intend to gouge out eyes. She's not a pervert.

"yours?"

The boy asked, but because of the masks, neither of them could see each other's expressions.

“My money.”

Shen Qingqing stated that this person was a thief.

"Wait, wait, I promise I won't steal again. Please let me go this time."

The child suddenly dropped to the ground, too afraid to move, pointing the sword at his head, terrified that the other person might accidentally kill him.

The boy ignored his pleas for mercy and took a step forward, which startled the boy, who muttered something under his breath.

“The youngest has elderly parents to care for, and a younger brother. The father is sick, and there is no money for treatment. The younger brother and the youngest have not eaten for two days.”

He kowtowed and cried, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"You can't steal just because you're in a bad situation. What if I'm in an even worse situation than you?"

"If I see you stealing again, it won't be that simple."

He took the money bag from the boy, took out a gold ingot from it, and threw it on the ground.

Thud—The child looked up and saw the gold ingot on the ground, becoming even more excited.

"Thank you, thank you."

The child quickly scrambled to his feet, bowed to the two men, and said, "I will never steal again..."

He wiped his tears with his sleeve, finished speaking, and ran away in a flash.

As expected, she's not suited for this kind of thing.

[Host, um, haven't you forgotten someone?]

That person helped the host twice, but the host didn't react much. That's really impolite. Even a thief was given a gold ingot.

Little Lazy never expected that her host's small purse contained gold ingots. If they were stolen, it would be a huge loss.

【Oh. 】

Although she could catch the child herself, she still wanted to make it clear that she didn't really like socializing with others.

Huhu—

The snow was still falling.

Shen Qingqing reached out and pulled a fox hairpin from her head. The small, orange-red fox had its eyes half-closed, as if it were sleeping.

"Thank you for saving me."

That's it?

Am I supposed to kneel before him?

【emmmm】

It seems the host didn't recognize the person in front of it. It won't tell the host; let's see when the host can guess.

The man took the hairpin and stared at the little fox for a long time. "You... have you always enjoyed giving things to others?"

"?"

Shen Qingqing tilted her head, and the fox eyes on her head blinked. Why was he asking this?

"You're the second one."

the second……

The five fingers gradually closed, and the blue veins on the back of the hand appeared faintly.

The first person Shen Qingqing gave the ring to was Mo Jing.

Don't give things to others.

Although the first and second gifts were from him, she did not recognize herself, meaning she had given the gifts to someone else.

He looked dejected and spoke in a low voice, as if he were dissatisfied.

He didn't like her getting close to other people. He hated that guard. He hadn't seen him for five years, and now someone else had appeared in her life.

Has she forgotten him...?

Through the mask, Shen Qingqing couldn't see the person's expression, but she could sense that the other person was somewhat unhappy.

Didn't she give you a gift? Why aren't you happy?

"You are not allowed to give things to others."

Not hearing Shen Qingqing's reply, he squatted down and spoke as if his words were squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing an undeniable toughness.

But Shen Qingqing could hear the grievance in his voice.

Jingle Bell-

Jingle Bell-

Crunch--

The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, pedestrians trudged through the snow, and vendors pushed their carts through the streets.

"Okay, I promise you..."

In that instant, a blurry figure appeared in Shen Qingqing's mind. She couldn't see it clearly or grasp it, and she agreed to the other party's request as if possessed.

Lanterns swayed along the street, their soft red glow illuminating the two people's faces.

"Come on—take a look, have a look! Five coins for a beautiful lantern to take home!"

The atmosphere between the two was immediately apparent to the vendors; they were a handsome couple, and even through their masks, their extraordinary demeanor was evident, making it a perfect opportunity to sell their wares.

"Sir, my lanterns are durable and beautiful. Look how exquisite the workmanship is! The painting is superb. I guarantee you won't regret buying them."

The vendor kept introducing the lanterns to Shen Qingqing, saying that ordinary women usually buy them more often.

The jewelry this girl was wearing clearly indicated that she was not from a poor family.

"Not buying."

She had just come from over there; those lanterns cost three coins each, but this old man's were two coins more expensive than the others.

"Want two."

The boy took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and carefully selected two lanterns.

"Alright, sir, here is your lantern. Welcome to visit us again."

The vendor's face was all smiles, his eyebrows practically pointing to the sky, but the girl ignored him.

He thought he wouldn't be able to sell them, so it seems he should change his sales strategy in the future.

"Look, take a look! Beautiful lanterns! You won't regret buying them!"

The shouts gradually faded into the distance.

Would you like to release some lanterns?

The person in front of her handed her a pink lantern, as if he wouldn't budge unless she took it.

“Okay.” Shen Qingqing agreed; she couldn’t handle stubborn people the most in her life.
