Xiao Xiao's Story

Having recounted the experiences of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiu'er, whose story will we tell next?

Let's start with Xiao Xiao.

When Xiao Xiao was questioned by Tang San, it was actually at the very back.

At this moment, Tang San was actually a little confused or helpless, because he realized that these people were all a bit abnormal.

Why? Because the first question Tang San always asks is, "Do you have someone you love?" After you answer, Tang San will ask questions like, "If your death could save the other person, or if you had to sacrifice yourself to save someone who is dying, would you do it?"

He would nod and answer without hesitation to anyone else.

Yes, I'd die for the other side. My own life doesn't matter; only the life of the person I love matters.

To be honest, the answers from the previous few people almost stumped Tang San.

He originally intended to use this question to see how deep these young people's feelings were, and to filter out those who were "determined" and "willing to sacrifice for love," and then give them some so-called "tests" to let their relationships experience some ups and downs.

To his utter surprise, this year's trainees were all like stone weights, each willing to die without the slightest hesitation.

They both chose to die, while the other lived.

He even began to doubt his own judgment. Were young people these days really so fearless? Or had he simply lost touch with the emotions of today's youth after living for so many years?

He has seen too many couples turn against each other for personal gain, and too many lovers abandon each other when disaster strikes.

In his view, there are only one in ten thousand people who are truly willing to sacrifice their lives for another.

But today, in this Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, he encountered several of them in one go, leaving him with a belly full of tests he had prepared, with nowhere to vent them.

Xiao Xiao Xiao burst into tears, saying, "I'm still young, I don't want to die. I haven't married He Caitou yet, how can I die?"

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally encountered a normal person who was afraid of death. What kind of abnormal monsters were those who weren't afraid of death before?

He was even a little grateful to Xiao Xiao; finally, someone's reaction met his expectations.

He felt that this was how a teenage girl should be: afraid of death, valuing her life, and full of expectations for the future.

Instead of being like those people before, constantly talking about being willing to die for the other person, as if life were worthless.

The Far North.

Ice Empress frowned as he looked at the diary entries in his mind.

Today, Lin Ye wrote down everything that happened in Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, and the more she read about each and every incident, the angrier she became.

It's rare to see someone like Tang San, who would even use his own daughter as a pawn for his own plans and manipulate other people's lives and feelings at will.

She could even picture Tang San standing before those young people, adopting a superior, godlike demeanor, arbitrarily judging their feelings—his utterly repulsive face.

Just as she was about to smash the thing in front of her in anger, the diary entries in her mind suddenly flashed to Xiao Xiao's answer.

Ice Empress was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing, and the laughter grew louder and louder until they were doubled over with laughter, clutching their stomachs.

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! This little girl named Xiao Xiao is so cute!"

Ice Empress laughed as she said, "Tang San's face probably turned green at that moment. He asked around and all he found were fearless lunatics. He finally found someone who was afraid of dying, and he was probably almost moved to tears."

Her mood was suffocated by the heavy contents of her diary all day, and she read it with a critical and angry attitude.

At this point, she couldn't hold back anymore, and all her suppressed anger dissipated in the burst of laughter.

Sitting next to her, Snow Empress also had a solemn expression, but she was better at hiding her emotions than Ice Empress. Even if she was very angry inside, she would not show much emotion on the surface.

But when she saw Xiao Xiao's words, "I haven't married He Caitou yet, how can I die?", a slight smile finally appeared on her perpetually icy face, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

"She is indeed a very genuine young girl."

Snow Empress said softly, her tone unusually gentle. "Compared to those who readily claim they are willing to sacrifice themselves, her reaction is all the more precious."

The other female protagonists who also possessed Diary Copy all relaxed, and smiles appeared on their faces in unison.

Shrek Academy's Inner Court.

When Ma Xiaotao saw this entry in the diary, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her shoulders shaking.

She had seen Xiao Xiao, a Xiao Xiao, adorable little girl. These were words that Xiao Xiao would definitely say.

"This little girl really doesn't hide anything at all." Ma Xiaotao shook her head with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection.

The most embarrassed person was none other than Xiao Xiao herself.

At this moment, she was sitting on her bed in the Shrek Academy freshman dormitory, hugging a plush toy, looking at the contents of the diary in her mind, and her face flushed red instantly.

They were as red as ripe apples, and even the tips of their ears were tinged with pink.

She instinctively covered her face with the blanket, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Oh dear! Lin Ye, why does he write about everything?! It's so embarrassing! So embarrassing! So many people have seen what it's like for me to cry in the future!"

However, despite her wailing, she didn't feel there was anything shameful about it.

That's just who she is. She's only a teenager, her life has just begun, and there are so many things she hasn't done, so many delicious foods she hasn't eaten, and so many fun places she hasn't visited.

Of course she was afraid of dying; anyone in that situation would be afraid.

Others might be willing to die for someone without hesitation, and she could be too, but it wouldn't be so easy for her.

She felt that life is precious and shouldn't be given up on so easily.

If it really came to the point of no return, she thought she would probably make the same choice as everyone else.

She simply cannot imagine that scene right now.

Tang San inexplicably became a little more authoritative, partly because the questions he had just asked had made him insecure, and now that he had finally caught someone who was afraid of death, he had to teach him a lesson.

He cleared his throat, put on a serious expression, and said to Xiao Xiao in an unquestionable tone: You must answer. If you don't, you will both die.

If you answer, you have a choice; if you choose him to die, you can live.
