Chapter 156: Please Don't Say Too Much (End)
"I'll go next door! Uncle Lin also said that I should spend more time with Aunt Su!"
Xu Jinyan was both self-righteous and innocent.
Seeing her father's impatient look, Xu Jinyan didn't want to stay at home anymore and turned around and left.
"It's so annoying. I'm not wrong to gossip. It's no use you keeping an eye on me. They're willing to tell me, it's not like I forced them to."
Xu's father pointed at Xu Jinyan's back and couldn't say a word.
Su Su and Qi Qi watched Xu Jinyan's behavior from their desks without glancing at him.
Qiqi: "Master, isn't that amazing! I specially bought this intelligence-lowering halo from the Time and Space Administration Bureau."
"It really works!"
They completely lost their intelligence, revealing their true feelings and offending people!
"But where did you get your points?"
When purchasing these halos at the Time and Space Administration, all system transactions use points.
Qiqi is an outsider, and there's no official task system yet, so how come she has points?
"Qiqi is doing part-time work. Some systems simply don't have enough points to redeem in the apocalypse. If it's suitable, Qiqi will connect other systems to worlds with little money but plenty of food, and then earn a fee in the process!"
Su Su: ???
"Weren't you preparing for the exam?"
"Oh! That! Qiqi failed again, so she shamelessly asked a top student system for help. It told me not to just stare at the questions, but to participate more, which would increase my experience!"
"So the system led you to do this?" Su Su couldn't help but wonder. This shouldn't be illegal in the Time and Space Administration Bureau, right? Wouldn't it be shut down if it were discovered?
"No, not at all! Qiqi figured it out herself, and she even looked at what Master did in the Yuan Realm."
Su Su's lips twitched, and she inexplicably recalled acting as a middleman between the Dan Sect and the Tianqing Sect, only to be discovered by Bai Chixu, the senior disciple of the Tianqing Sect...
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Bai Chixu. I wonder if he's recovered from his ordeal!
Forget it! I'll talk about it after I've gone through my tribulation.
Su Su looked at Qi Qi, whose eyes were sparkling with admiration, and reached out to touch her.
“Awesome!”
Su Su casually made a compliment.
"Hehe! Qiqi will work hard and strive to make the Bureau bigger and stronger!"
Su Su nodded and continued to stare at Xu Jinyan.
Be careful with your words, be cautious in your speech and actions, but be anything but careful with your words.
She's almost offended the whole neighborhood now; even stray cats that pass by want to scratch her.
Wow, this brain-degrading aura is terrifying!
But that won't do. What's the use of just offending people? You still have to watch your mouth.
If you spread rumors and lie, you'll grow a long nose just like Pinocchio!
In less than two days, Xu Jinyan's nose had already grown very long.
The Xu family, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, took Xu Jinyan to seek medical treatment.
The smell of medicine wafted over from next door every day, and Xu Jinyan became much quieter.
After all, Xu Jinyan still cares about her image, as she'd be surrounded by monkeys as soon as she stepped outside.
Su Su stayed here for half a month before going back.
Before she knew it, Su Su started school.
Unlike Xu Jinyan's nonsensical talk, Aunt Su had a good relationship with Uncle Su. She was in a good mood and paid attention to her health. Not long after Su Su returned, she found out she was pregnant.
Aunt Su and Uncle Su believed that Su Su's arrival brought good fortune.
Actually, there's no such thing as a definitive answer.
They were overjoyed when their long-awaited child finally arrived.
After Su Su started school, her husband would always warmly invite her to his home on weekends, letting her touch the baby in her belly.
Su Su was naturally happy to see the baby.
Although Xu Jinyan has a long nose and doesn't want to go to school, her parents force her to go.
Xu Jinyan had no choice but to go to school with her long nose, which was still very noticeable even when she wore a mask.
Especially during military training, Xu Jinyan always felt like she was being pointed at and criticized.
But she became entangled with Su Su.
He said he knew Su Su before and now wants to be friends with her.
However, Su Su always avoided her, which made Xu Jinyan think that Su Su disliked her.
Later, rumors about Su Su spread in the class.
They would criticize Su Su behind her back every day.
As soon as Su Su got close, the students stopped talking.
Xu Jinyan, however, approached Su Su feigning concern, as if she were showing pity and charity towards Su Su.
Xu Jinyan's nose has grown longer again, but now she is extremely excited to have common topics with her classmates, feeling as if she has returned to the time when she was perfectly healthy.
Everyone focused their attention on her, listening to the news she had to say.
She had no interest in paying attention to her nose at all.
"Master, she's absolutely awful!"
The Seven-Seven Light Ball landed on Su Su's shoulder, complaining to Xu Jinyan.
"Those classmates are awful too. The owner didn't do anything, but they did it anyway!"
Su Su yawned. "It's alright! A lesson is enough. Humans are all like that, they believe everything they hear."
For a whole month, the students in the class had nightmares, dreaming that they were being bullied again and again, and no matter how they fought back, it was no use.
I finally wake up and go back to sleep, only to have the same nightmare repeat itself.
The students who had nightmares gradually became pale, thin, and listless.
Especially the usually energetic but lazy classmate, who was bedridden and kept complaining of stomach pain, but the examinations couldn't find anything wrong!
It even alarmed parents who care about their children, who, thinking their children were being abused at school, immediately called the police en masse.
But no matter how the police investigated, they couldn't find anything, and when they asked classmates, they couldn't give any explanation either.
Later, a classmate who had not participated in the rumors revealed to the police the rumors circulating in the class and what they were saying behind their backs.
The police were very accurate in their investigation, and they eventually traced the clues back to Xu Jinyan.
However, Xu Jinyan has already dropped out of school, and her long nose prevents her from leaving the house.
When the police arrived at Xu Jinyan's home, they only saw a long stick on the ground and a pool of blood.
While having nightmares, Xu Jinyan's mental state deteriorated, and her parents kept sighing and saying that it was all retribution.
Because of his gossip, he got entangled in something.
But drinking the talisman water repeatedly had no effect.
Once, because of Xu Jinyan, people in the neighborhood avoided Xu's parents, fearing that they might also be entangled by something.
Their business has also become much quieter.
Xu's father couldn't help but blame Xu Jinyan, while Xu's mother, who usually defended Xu Jinyan, remained silent.
Hearing the insults, Xu Jinyan reached up and touched her long nose, unable to hold back her tears.
As she cried, she grabbed her long, stick-like nose, but memories of cutting bamboo in the village flashed through her mind.
Why not just cut off your own nose with a knife?
Xu Jinyan asked to have surgery, but her parents said they didn't have the money.
But Xu Jinyan didn't believe it and said that her parents didn't love her anymore and that she wanted a younger brother.
After all, every time relatives come for the New Year, they would urge Mr. and Mrs. Xu to have another boy.
They were tempted by the advice, but no matter what folk remedies they tried, they never found any effect.
In particular, Xu Jinyan would gossip about every little thing in her family, and even complain that her parents favored boys over girls.
Because he was concerned about saving face, Mr. Xu did not show any intention of wanting a son.
She felt that her open-mindedness and cheerfulness were good.
Xu Jinyan probably knew that her mother had used all the money to open a shop and get her into school, and that there was no money left for Xu Jinyan's surgery.
But no matter how Xu's mother explained, Xu Jinyan just wouldn't listen.
The usually good-natured Xu's mother got angry, turned around and walked out of the room, refusing to pay any more attention to her.
Xu Jinyan's eyes reddened as she glared resentfully at her mother.
She rushed out, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed her own nose.
The moment the nose fell to the ground, Xu's mother, who had come to check, screamed. Xu Jinyan, however, turned his head and slashed at Xu's mother's face with a blood-stained knife.
Hearing the commotion, Xu's father also came over.
Seeing his daughter standing there in a daze and his wife bleeding from her neck, he went over to protect Xu's mother.
He was too worried about Xu's mother's condition, but he didn't expect that Xu Jinyan, who had gone mad with killing, would also slash at Xu's father's vital areas.
So when the police arrived, Xu Jinyan had just been kicked against the wall by her father and was in excruciating pain.
The ambulance arrived, but Xu's mother's neck had been slashed, she could no longer speak, and her face was disfigured.
And Xu's father couldn't get that thing back either.
However, Xu Jinyan discovered that her nose was still growing, very slowly, but she still noticed it.
She is crazy.
Xu's parents hated her to death, and since Xu Jinyan was a minor, they could only raise her in a disheveled state.
Xu's parents were also blaming each other, and even resorted to physical violence.
But neither of them wanted a divorce, and neither could live without the other.
The police officer in charge of the case noticed that Xu Jinyan was acting this way because of Su Su's appearance, and became suspicious of Su Su, but no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find anything unusual.
Su Su held her newborn cousin, telling her from a young age that she would take care of her older cousin when she grew up...
"Look, your cousin has been so good to you since you were little, even holding you and comforting you. When you grow up, you must repay your cousin, okay?"
