"...Where is your heart?"

The mouse looked at her with an expression that she couldn't understand. When it looked at her like this, Chu Xiangyun found that a part of her body was throbbing. She pressed that spot clearly, only to find that there was a pain there.

Things are beating rhythmically.

"Is this the heart?" she asked with understanding.

The mouse nodded.

"...It doesn't hurt anymore." Chu Xiangyun pressed it for a while and said with a happy expression.

"Of course the heart won't hurt all the time. If it keeps hurting, people will die." Mouse glanced at her with a "really ignorant" look.

"That's it." Chu Xiangyun suddenly realized, but he also had a new question, "What is death?"

"...Do you think I'm some kind of philosopher?" The mouse angrily slapped Chu Xiangyun's trouser legs with its tail, but I don't know if the force was too weak and it didn't feel at all.

"If you don't tell me, I can read by myself." Chu Xiangyun stood up, surrounded by books.

"Wait! Wait!" the mouse shouted again, and Chu Xiangyun obediently knelt down to talk to it again.

"I just answered so many questions for you, shouldn't I be rewarded?"

"Reward?" Chu Xiangyun looked around blankly, "Do you want to eat a book? I can find a useless book for you to eat."

"I've told you that I'm not Shuoyan Shu!" Shuo Yan gritted his teeth angrily. Looking at Chu Xiangyun's indifferent expression, he knew he couldn't convince her on this matter, so he had to return to the topic, "You have to answer first

Only by asking my questions can I tell you what reward I need."

If Chu Xiangyun had gone to school, she might have asked, "Doesn't answering questions count as reward?" Unfortunately, she is still illiterate, so she just nodded obediently.

"Ahem." Mouse cleared his throat and returned to the question, "Why were you crying just now?"

"Why?" Chu Xiangyun repeated the question again, recalling his mood just now, and couldn't help but hold his heart again, "I don't know... I think it's just like what you said. My

My heart feels painful, as if someone poked a hole in it."

"Am I hurt?"

The mouse looked at her with that expression again, "No, have you forgotten what I just said? It's not just trauma that causes pain, but also feelings."

"Emotions?"

"Stop asking me questions!" Mouse interrupted Chu Xiangyun sharply, "I'm asking you now!"

"If you don't know why you are in pain, then tell me what happened to you."

Chu Xiangyun is not a very eloquent person, but she told the other party exactly what happened. As she described it, she still felt her heart aching and tears seemed to fall again.

After hearing this, the mouse was silent for a long time, looking sad. It narrowed its eyes and suddenly stamped its feet hard.

Chu Xiangyun wanted to ask what happened to it, but remembered that the other party told her not to ask questions and shut up.

"You..." the mouse said, "do you want to leave here?"

"Why are you leaving?" Chu Xiangyun was puzzled.

"You..." The mouse spoke again and then fell silent, as if it could not organize its own words, always hesitated to speak, and finally sighed.

"Okay, I'm done asking, it's time to talk about my reward."

"I want to—follow you."

"Why?" Chu Xiangyun felt extremely confused.

The mouse took a few steps back, looked Chu Xiangyun up and down from a distance, and said, "Because you are too stupid."

"I have never seen a human child as unintelligent as you. As a bird of paradise, one of my duties is to bring happiness to everyone, which of course includes you."

Seeing that Chu Xiangyun wanted to speak, it quickly interrupted, "Do you want to ask what the relationship between happiness and IQ is? In this world, there are happy fools and sad wise men, but you do not belong to either of them.

You're a sad fool."

"I guess you don't even know what sadness is?"

Although Chu Xiangyun wanted to refute, he finally nodded in dismay.

"I can't bring you happiness directly, but I can bring you knowledge, and I will teach you. Even if I can't make you evolve into a happy fool, you can at least become a wise man."

"What do you think?"

Chu Xiangyun was convinced by it, and she nodded convincingly, "Teacher."

"Ahem." The mouse choked on his own saliva. Chu Xiangyun seemed to see a blush on its gray downy face. It twisted its body and finally stamped its feet: "There's no need to call like that.

Just my name is fine, my name is Jiujiu."

Chirp? It sounds like the name of a bird.

Chu Xiangyun thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it subconsciously. She nodded to show that she understood, then put her "teacher" in the palm of her hand and looked at it.

"My name is..."

"Your name is Xiaoyun."

It interrupted her words and pressed its paw on the tip of Chu Xiangyun's nose, "I know your name, your name is Xiaoyun."

……

Suddenly I dreamed about something that happened a long time ago.

Chu Xiangyun opened her eyes, and in front of her was the vast night sky, dotted with stars, and completely silent. A certain little liar was lying on her chest and breathing with her.

She was really deceived by it when she was a child. It wasn't until she met Zhuqing after going to school and learned a lot that she suddenly realized it.

Chu Xiangyun suddenly chuckled, and the laughter woke up Jiujiu who was sleeping. It rubbed its eyes and was too lazy to sit up. Its voice was also confused: "What's wrong?"

But after saying that, it tilted its head and fell asleep again.

Chu Xiangyun nodded its furry head and did not look at it again, but moved his gaze to the bright moon in the sky.

"Do you think I am a happy fool now?"

*

The next day, Shi Zhuqing kept her promise and waited for Chu Xiangyun outside the Kexi Forest early.

However, when Chu Xiangyun arrived, he saw her looking down at her mobile phone, with an unpredictable expression of joy and sorrow.

Chu Xiangyun stepped forward knowingly, and after Shi Zhuqing noticed her, he said, "I'm here, let's get started."

"Wait a minute."

Shi Zhuqing took her in his arms and asked her to look at her phone screen, which was displaying a web page.

Topic: [Does anyone want to analyze this year’s freshmen?]

[Owner: To be honest, I also took part in this Lingxiao Mansion Entrance Examination. I thought I performed well, but ended up being kicked out... As soon as the Lingxiao Mansion video came out, I ran to watch it.

Only then did I realize that I overestimated myself before... This year is really a fight between gods]

[Don’t think that those white-scaled beasts in the video look like they can be chopped off one by one. In fact, they are really difficult to fight. My family specially bought me a fog-sulfur sword at a large price, and it didn’t even leave a white mark when I cut it.

…】

[So, does anyone want to popularize the knowledge about who are the candidates this year?! Are all the spiritual powers that strong?]

[2L: Leave your name in the front row. I also want to know where all the candidates in this class are these hidden experts. I have been preparing for two whole years and still failed... The output is as fierce as a tiger, and the damage is zero.

At 5:00, I thought it was because your school’s exams were too difficult this year. After I came out, I realized it was because I was too weak...I will never come again next year!]

[10L: Lingxiao Mansion Ten Year Cloud Examination candidate came uninvited. Classmate upstairs, to be honest, I also think this exam is indeed a bit difficult. The examination room is set in the desert. I really don’t know who asked the questions]

[12L: I know who it is from, but I dare not say...]

【13L: Dare not say 1】

[14L: Are the two upstairs people insiders? The Riddler should leave the forum quickly!]

[Owner: Don’t go off topic, everyone! It’s because of the difficulty that this year’s candidates are so awesome! So is there any kind-hearted person who can come out and help the children solve their doubts? I’m so curious]

[17L: The one who is currently the most popular...is the one who appeared first? I even doubted whether she had given money to Lingxiao Mansion. Her style of painting was completely different from others, as if she had added a filter.

】

[18L: Is your name Pei Yang? She is really beautiful. If there is any school beauty contest in Lingxiao Mansion, I think she will be the first]

[21L: It’s a pity that there is no such thing hahaha, my strength is just that, I just rely on my face to get the shot]

[22L:...Where did you come from upstairs? The sourness is overflowing. I am a new student now. Where are you still studying?]

[23L: Being able to pass the Lingxiao Mansion exam means a lot of things, honestly, don’t be too malicious towards others]

[28L: I just can’t stand people like you who care about your appearance]

[29L: It’s so funny. Who doesn’t care about face these days? You still don’t care what people like to watch. I suggest you find a class as soon as possible]

[Owner: Don’t argue!!! Please don’t want to be deleted... Does anyone have anything else to say? For example, I see there is a foreign freshman in this class. The one with the stick looks very powerful. Does anyone know him? 】

[33L: The poster is a bit cute hahaha, the staff is a scepter, right? It seems to be one of their ceremonial weapons, similar to our swords?]

[34L: It feels different, that thing doesn’t seem to be a physical attack, it’s called magic according to their name]

[35L: I thought it was a hammer at first, but I didn’t expect it to be a long-range weapon]
