Chapter 1908: You Need to Practice Lying
Little Taotie’s small face was conflicted, hesitating, not knowing how to answer. She was afraid that if she mentioned going to find Hua Jinyan and visiting his dormitory, it would implicate Hua Jinyan.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Hua Jinyan, but saying it would involve him.
Little Taotie pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.
"Playing the silent game?"
"No..."
"If you don’t speak, I can’t return this to you."
The dormitory supervisor shook the pink crystal box in her hand.
Unexpectedly, a rattling sound came from inside.
The dormitory supervisor paused for a moment.
"Is there something inside?"
"No!!!"
Little Taotie appeared overly excited.
The dormitory supervisor squinted her eyes suspiciously: "Really nothing?"
"No..." Little Taotie’s gaze wandered, feeling guilty.
"Whether there is or not, I’ll know once I open it and see."
"Don’t!" Little Taotie reached out her small hand to stop her.
But it was already too late.
The dormitory supervisor opened the pink crystal box.
Little Taotie closed her eyes.
She knew the secret of the pink box couldn’t be kept anymore.
Last night, the dormitory supervisor must have opened it to inspect. Now candies appeared out of nowhere, which was hard to explain.
"There’s nothing at all, why are you so nervous?" Little Luoluo asked in confusion.
Little Taotie was taken aback and quietly opened a slit to look over.
The pink box was opened, but it was empty, nothing inside.
No candy, no chocolate!
Little Taotie slightly opened her small mouth in surprise, revealing her white teeth, her expression somewhat dazed and cute.
The dormitory supervisor squinted her eyes: "Luoluo, go find Instructor Li, tell her I made pan-fried buns today."
Little Luoluo pouted: "I’m not naive, you’re just trying to get rid of me."
The dormitory supervisor chuckled, ruffling Luoluo’s head: "Since you understand, why don’t you go quickly?"
Little Luoluo held Little Taotie’s hand: "No, I must advance and retreat together with my roommate!"
The dormitory supervisor shrugged: "If you don’t leave, this box won’t be returned to her."
"This..." Little Luoluo was extremely troubled.
Little Taotie patted the back of Luoluo’s hand: "You go, I’ll come find you soon."
Little Luoluo kept looking back every few steps.
It wasn’t until Luoluo walked far away that the dormitory supervisor placed the pink crystal box on the table, nudging it toward Little Taotie.
Little Taotie didn’t take it; instead, she took a step back.
"What? Afraid to take it?"
"You’re giving it back to me?"
"No, just need to verify something."
Little Taotie hid her small hands in her pockets, gaze wandering: "Verify what?"
"There’s indeed something in the box, but when I open it, I can’t see anything. Maybe only you can see what’s inside when you open it."
Little Taotie’s heart skipped a beat.
"It seems I guessed right." The dormitory supervisor deeply observed Little Taotie, noting every detail of her expression.
The guilt and panic, as if her tail had been stepped on, were all caught by the dormitory supervisor.
Little Taotie retreated once again, almost out of the door.
The dormitory supervisor said, "Last night, I shook the box and opened it. At that time, there was nothing inside, and there was no rattling sound."
"Maybe... a cockroach got in at night and possibly escaped."
"You’re not good at lying, you need to practice more."
Little Taotie: "..."
The young girl rounded her eyes, full of surprise.
"Since you’ve come here, you’re not an ordinary child. I don’t need to create a fairy tale world for you and tell you that lying is wrong. Lying is also a skill; sometimes lying can save someone, or save yourself."
