Chapter 173 : Chapter 173
Chapter 173
"20% of your personality?!" Xia Xiaoxi's puppy-dog eyes, which normally drooped at the corners, widened into round circles, showing her shock.
Next to her was her inner monologue: This is all because of me...!
She quickly asked, "What effect does losing 20% of your personality have on you? How are you feeling right now?"
【Sob sob, I'm truly moved by their friendship. Xi-bao's first reaction is to care about Brother Hao, even though Brother Hao said he did it voluntarily. (Twiddling fingers)】
【Xiao Xi must feel so guilty right now, because losing one's personality sounds very serious.】
【There's a detail in this panel. Brother Hao and Maomao even looked at each other. It feels like he was subconsciously looking for a companion who went through the same experience. He definitely doesn't blame Maomao for bringing it up. The previous bullet comments were really over-interpreting and nitpicking.】
【I even feel that with their tacit understanding, Brother Hao's look was more like saying to Ling Feng: Then I'll just say it directly.】
【The question the female lead asked... actually, the male lead doesn't even know what effect it has on him haha! (Doge emoji)】
【Help me, I'm so ridiculous, I'm guilty. When Brother Hao said he wasn't missing any parts, the first thing I thought of was... (Little face all yellow) (Afraid to make a sound)】
【?? The sister in front, come out and talk about it. Elaborate! (Wiping sweat)】
"Feeling, huh..." Zhou Chenhao lowered his eyelids, seeming to be carefully sensing something.
The next panel was a close-up of his eyes. He raised his eyebrows, his dark brown eyes widening slightly. Small words next to him were labeled "Confusion" and "Surprise."
After that was a close-up shot of him touching his chin with his hand, his expression seemingly pondering something.
He said, "I think... I kind of miss Bai Xuechao?"
As soon as Zhou Chenhao said this, Xia Xiaoxi and Ling Feng instantly turned into two Q-version little figures, staring with dead-fish eyes, their mouths turning into small inverted triangles. They both seemed to think Zhou Chenhao was joking, their heads covered in hanging black lines. One could feel their speechlessness even from another dimension.
Xia Xiaoxi's solo panel even had her complaining in her heart: The me who was so worried about him just now was simply an idiot!!
Ling Feng's solo panel had a drop of sweat on his forehead to further express his speechlessness. His dialogue bubble had "silent for a few seconds" written on the side, and he asked, "Are you serious?"
【Hahaha, Brother Hao silenced two people with one sentence.】
【Pass it on, Brother Hao said he misses Axue!】
【Pass it on, Brother Hao said he's fallen for Axue!】
【Pass it on, Brother Hao said he wants to marry Axue!】
【Pass it on... wait, we're spreading rumors! (Shouting loudly)】
【Xiao Xi: Give me back my worry!】
【Ling Feng Maomao asking if he's serious hahaha, it's all Brother Hao's fault for being too unreliable usually. No one believes him even when he's telling the truth. (Laughing until crying)】
【Hiss, is this the effect of having 20% of his personality taken away? So lewd... (Yellow heart) (Yellow is very reassuring)】
【The sister in front, please elaborate? (Lend an ear)】
【Brother Hao is going to become a little puppy that can't leave its master, awoo! (Gets mouth covered and dragged away)】
【(Roaring) I'll say it again! Fanfiction girls are not allowed to read shonen manga! (Just kidding)】
【This is hilarious. Reading shonen manga is like walking into a happy den for me. There are CPs everywhere, and I can ship random pairs without any official pairings slapping me in the face. (Shy)】
In the manga, Zhou Chenhao said with an innocent face, "I'm serious."
"Sorry, I thought you were joking." Ling Feng put a hand to his forehead. "Do you have any other feelings?"
Zhou Chenhao spread his hands, "I don't know... wait."
Xia Xiaoxi clenched her hands into fists, a look of annoyance and self-blame on her face. Her green eyes seemed a little moist, shimmering with a fine light. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have lost 20% of your personality. This will definitely have aftereffects, right? Can we ask Bai Xuechao to return—"
"Oh!" Zhou Chenhao clapped his hands, as if he had finally thought of something. "This feeling should be, wanting to see Bai Xuechao!"
In the next panel, Xia Xiaoxi had turned into a Q-version figure again. A teardrop still hung from the corner of her eye, indicating that the wetness in her eyes earlier was not an illusion, but her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the background was also dark.
She thought to herself: I really am an idiot, ahh!
Ling Feng tilted his head with a blank expression, as if to say: Huh?
【What! Wanting to see Axue! The officials are forcing me to ship this! (Confirming again and again) (I didn't see it wrong) (Screaming)】
【Hehe, I, a humble reader, came here smelling the tea! (Rubbing hands)】
【This is bad, he's really become a little puppy that can't leave its master (.)】
【Hao fans are all confused right now. So from now on, will Brother Hao and Bai Xuechao be bound together? Is he going to be a pendant? Give me back Brother Hao's freedom, waahhh! (Shedding tears)】
【To the sister in front, calm down, we're not sure what it's like yet.】
【Xiao Xi's mood is swinging back and forth between self-blame and wanting to beat someone up.】
【Xi-bao was clearly about to cry, but Brother Hao's words made her cool down. (doge)】
【Was my daughter just about to ask if they could get that 20% of personality back from Axue?】
【Probably. But although Bai Xuechao doesn't seem like a bad guy, it's certain that he's a fun-loving person. He's not going to do charity.】
【Have Xiao Xi go and beg him? Doesn't he have a special attitude towards Xiao Xi?】
【Don't even think about making my Xi-bao sell her beauty! (Protecting my cub)】
【Ah, no... Don't treat Bai Xuechao like a fool. Even if he's special towards Xiao Xi, wasn't giving her the special ability energy crystal enough? And he didn't want any reward for it?】
【Redeem it with money? Let us help Brother Hao get through this difficult time!】
【To the sister in front, I helped Brother Hao calculate. Bai Xuechao lent him 28,866,670 game coins, which is equivalent to 288,666,700 yuan.】
【My god, over two hundred million. I'm out. Brother Hao can handle his own problems. (Picking up a bucket and running away)】
Zhou Chenhao sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at his two teammates, his expression very serious, "I'm telling the truth!"
In the next panel, his eyes turned to Xia Xiaoxi and he continued, "I was just afraid you'd overthink it and feel like it was your fault, so I was thinking of waiting until we wrote the report back home to tell you. But it's fine to say it now. Actually, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Don't worry, maybe 20% of a personality isn't a big deal."
The dialogue bubble to Zhou Chenhao's left was already full, and to his right was another, smaller bubble, "I'm fine now, I just feel like I miss Bai Xuechao, hmm... I want to see him, I want to hear him speak... and things like that."
Ling Feng frowned and asked him, "Let me ask you, if Bai Xuechao made a request to you, would you agree?"
"Ah, this..." Zhou Chenhao patted his head, as if fighting with some thought. "Hiss, I feel something is wrong. I now feel that as long as it's not a very outrageous request, I can agree to anything he asks."
【Welcome to the series where the official work pushes the fanfic writers to death (.)】
【Want to see him~ Want to hear him speak~ (Pink Beaver Loopy) Yoyoyoyo~】
【Sorry, I'm new to this fandom, so I have a question. Is Bai the male lead's official pairing? (Doge emoji)】
【This perfectly substitutes into the ABO worldview. Brother Hao is an Alpha in his susceptible period, and he needs his wifey's hug to get better. (Afraid to make a sound)】
【Bai old scoundrel! Did you know that the setting you wrote would turn out like this!! (Closing eyes)】
【Maybe Bai old scoundrel is even more shocked than you hahaha. She: Did I write the setting like this? (Scratching head)】
【As expected, the modern netizens never disappoint me, it's full of memes, but I want to say, am I the only one who feels that this state is very dangerous? QAQ】
【Ling Feng Maomao is worthy of being the brains of the protagonist group, he immediately discovered the problem =.=】
【Woc, as long as it's not too outrageous? What counts as outrageous?】
【So as long as you take away Brother Hao's personality, you'll get Brother Hao's super high favorability? (Tucking hands in sleeves) Give me 5% first.】
【I don't think it's just about favorability.】
Ling Feng's face was expressionless, which made his already naturally cool and exquisite face look a bit serious. He asked Zhou Chenhao, "What if he asks you to leak SAIDB's secrets?"
"That's definitely not okay," Zhou Chenhao replied.
Ling Feng pointed his thumb at Xia Xiaoxi sitting next to him, "What if he asks you to kill Xia Xiaoxi?"
"Huh? This question is too ridiculous." Zhou Chenhao rested his chin on the back of the passenger seat, his eyes looking at Ling Feng and Xia Xiaoxi. "How could I possibly kill Xiaoxi?"
Ling Feng's deep, sea-like azure eyes looked at him and he calmly replied, "Who knows what your bottom line is for him now. We have to ask and test even the most ridiculous questions."
After speaking, he turned his head to Xia Xiaoxi and said, "You should also think of some questions to ask him, to test his bottom line for Bai Xuechao."
"Oh, oh, okay," Xia Xiaoxi replied.
【Ask Brother Hao if he will help Axue pay back the money, 500,000!】
【Your question is no good. Watch mine. Ask Brother Hao if he's willing to dance in the square wearing only a grass skirt for Axue! (Doge emoji)】
【Hahaha, that's too much! Even a protagonist would have a social death! Looking at it this way, my question seems trivial. I wanted to ask what if Bai Xuechao asked him to wash underwear.】
【To the sister in front, the key to this question is, whose underwear to wash?】
【Do you even need to ask? It's definitely Ling Feng's. (Just kidding)】
【You guys are getting me red-hot. Axue making Brother Hao wash Maomao's underwear, you guys are really daring to think hahaha, what an unprecedented love triangle, I'm laughing so hard I passed out.】
In the manga, Xia Xiaoxi and Ling Feng began to take turns asking questions.
Xia Xiaoxi asked first, "Um... if you encountered a level 4 mutated species and Bai Xuechao also wanted it, would you give it to him?"
"I can," Zhou Chenhao replied. A small note next to him read "Immediate answer." He added, "But isn't level 4 a bit too low for him? Would he even be interested?"
Ling Feng continued to ask him calmly, "What if Bai Xuechao wanted the special ability energy crystal in your hand?"
"Which piece does he want?" Zhou Chenhao picked up the special ability energy crystal placed on the storage box. The blood-red crystal was very transparent under the car's ceiling light, reflecting light as he moved it. "If it's this piece, I can give it to him. If we discovered it together, I can split it with him, or he can take a larger share, that's fine too. But not the others."
He had some bottom lines, but not many, and they weren't clear enough.
It was Xia Xiaoxi's turn to ask. After showing an expression of deep thought, she asked, "If Bai Xuechao and Ling Feng both fell into a river at the same time, who would you save?"
A question mark appeared above Ling Feng's head. He turned to look at Xia Xiaoxi and complained speechlessly, "What kind of question is that?"
"A classic question!" Xia Xiaoxi gave a thumbs up.
In the next panel, Zhou Chenhao answered firmly, "Bai Xuechao."
Both Xia Xiaoxi and Ling Feng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah, this, it's not that I don't love you anymore..." Zhou Chenhao's words to Ling Feng stopped halfway. He quickly said "Ptooey," then looked at Ling Feng again and said, "No, it's not love, huh, you should know what I mean, I can't find a suitable description. Anyway, it's not that our relationship is bad, it's just that I feel Bai Xuechao's body is weaker, you can still splash about in the water for a while longer."
In the next panel, Ling Feng had a handsome, expressionless face, "You even forgot that Bai Xuechao is a water-type special ability user. Anyone could drown, but he wouldn't."
【You can still splash about for a while longer hahaha! I'm really going to die laughing, my daughter asked a good question! (Applauding)】
【Ling Feng: So love will disappear, right? (doge)】
【Brother Hao: I don't love you anymore.】
【The funniest part is Maomao's comeback! I'm really laughing so hard I'm rolling on the floor!】
【This is equivalent to a human and a mermaid falling into the sea at the same time, and Brother Hao goes to save the mermaid. (Kitty Eating Corn, Showing Teeth)】
【And that 'level 4 is a bit too low for him' hahaha, who understands my sense of humor is like shit! My daughter, ask boldly! It should be at least level 5 or 6, right?】
【The male lead is even willing to share the special ability energy crystal with Bai Xuechao, and Bai Xuechao can even get a bigger share...】
【It's like this with just 20%, I can't imagine what would happen if 50% or even all of it was taken away.】
【I feel like the impact of this 20% of personality is bigger than I thought, but it also doesn't seem that big.】
【The current level seems okay, he hasn't seriously lost himself, he's just more concerned about Bai Xuechao and treats him better?】
