Chapter 255 - Kill Bai Qingqing (1/2)

Bai Qingqing was feeling a little pain from being grabbed. She put up a struggle before saying harshly, “I don’t.”

Shuu’s face instantly turned extremely pale, and his hand that was grabbing onto Bai Qingqing’s hand loosened its grip.

Bai Qingqing took the opportunity to draw out her hand. She saw that both her hands had turned red, and there were even a few finger marks left.

Shuu quickly noticed the marks on Bai Qingqing’s hands and quickly grabbed onto them again. However, he was a lot lighter this time around. “It’s my bad. I’ve hurt you. Let me blow on it for you.”

Bai Qingqing had no idea how to deal with Shuu’s fawning that seemed to have no baseline to it. She quickly drew her hand back. “There’s really no need. Don’t touch me!”

Feeling anxious, Bai Qingqing pushed Shuu. The latter was caught unaware and fell back a few steps before finally calming down.

He looked at Bai Qingqing silently for a while, his eyes still gleaming even though he didn’t seem happy. It was the grief that refracted from his tears under the sunlight.

“You can reject me, but you can’t stop me from liking you.”

Shuu smiled, but his smile was really heart-wrenching. “The plants in the ape castle have all been brought here from various places. I’ll bring you around.”

“No need. I’m waiting for Parker.” Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to look at Shuu’s face but turned her head up toward a tall tree. She suddenly let out a questioning cry.

The plants in the front courtyard were evergreen throughout the four seasons, but this tree was the only exception. It looked ugly, its bark in a dirty grayish-brown color, and it took up a lot of space as well. Bai Qingqing took a careful look and found it increasingly familiar.

“You recognize it?” Shuu immediately asked.

Bai Qingqing shook her head with uncertainty and put out her hand to touch the trunk. Before she could touch it, her fair hand was grabbed by a bigger hand.

“Don’t touch it. The bark is coarse and you might get hurt.”

Bai Qingqing drew her hand back quickly as if she had been electrocuted. She turned her head to the side and walked toward the ape castle’s back door in huge strides. Hearing the sound of footsteps quickly following behind her, Bai Qingqing could only say this to send him away, “The ape king said that he’ll be giving us a bag of wild grains. Help me to bring it over.”

“Alright.” Shuu agreed happily and dashed into the castle happily.
