"What are you thinking about? Get back to practicing."

Yuan Hua picked up the tangerines again and placed them on the ground. As for the trash...

Just lay out a garbage bag and make do.

……

"Ouch—it hurts so much..."

Terra looked at her injured left hand and fell into deep thought...

"Phew... Oh well, getting hurt was worth it. Michael forgave me, didn't he..."

"night……"

Before Terra could think much about it, the guests arrived.

"Boss, two sesame seed cakes, please!"

"Okay! Alright!"

……

"No, I can't sketch it out..."

Michael clasped his hands tightly together, his forehead covered in sweat...

The magic circle on the ground was in the process of being drawn, but it moved as slowly as a tortoise crawling...

Even with Yuan Hua slowing down her sketching pace, it still far surpasses her current progress...

"Are you thinking about something unclean?"

Yuan Hua glanced at Michael indifferently, and Michael immediately deflated...

"Yuan Hua, I really can't do it, my heart is in turmoil..."

Michael slumped to the ground, letting out a deep sigh...

"..."

Yuan Hua put down the tangerine in his hand, got up and went to sit down next to Michael.

"What's on your mind? Tell me, I'm listening."

"After leaving the darkroom, I will forget everything. Let's just pretend nothing happened."

"really?"

Michael hesitated...

"Well, tell me."

Yuan Hua took out a lollipop from his pocket, tossed it to Michael, then took one for himself, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth.

"Um... there's something I need to tell you..."

Michael, feeling guilty, lowered his head...

"You have to promise me you won't get angry..."

"Hmm... Go ahead and say it, I'm not angry."

Yuan Hua paused deliberately before agreeing...

"Actually...actually..."

Michael pursed his lower lip slightly...

"Actually, I secretly read your diary..."

"Ok, I know."

"You punish... huh?"

Michael suddenly looked up, staring blankly at Yuan Hua...

"I showed it to you."

Yuan Hua glanced at her indifferently.

"I hope you'll back down."

"..."

……

Chapter 293 Providing an Escape Route

"Actually, I hope you will back down when faced with difficulties."

Yuan Hua handed the tangerines in his hand to Michael.

"Undeniably, the power of the abyss is alluring, but it can make a mess of your life."

"What could be worse than my life right now?"

Michael was somewhat pessimistic...

Yuan Hua scoffed...

To be honest, Michael would have been very happy if he hadn't appeared.

He brought Michael to a plane that didn't belong to her, which is why Michael felt that her past was so tragic.

A harmonious family, a considerate man, a family that, though not wealthy, is well-fed and clothed.

Are these conditions really that bad?

You have to understand that in this day and age, there are plenty of people who don't have enough to eat or wear.

"To be honest, you are already very lucky. At least you haven't been beaten down by society."

"I'd like to try that."

Michael finally mustered the courage to say those words.

"..."

Although Yuan Hua was overjoyed, he didn't show it at all...

"Think about it again."

At times like this, you must not agree immediately. You must give her a chance to back out. That way, she won't be to blame for your own downfall.

"Once a tattoo is etched, there's no going back."

After saying that, Yuan Hua opened the spatial passage to leave the darkroom.

“Let’s go. I’ll give you a day off. As for practice, find a basin, fill it with soil, and move it to your room to practice slowly.”

After saying that, Yuan Hua disappeared from the spot.

Let's go spend some time with Sivir and Rena first.

Ms. Lena has been much more well-behaved lately, which makes Yuan Hua very pleased...

I've been busy trying to win over Michael lately and haven't had time to deal with her. It's been a relief since she hasn't caused any trouble...

……

"How could I be so shameless... How could I say such things..."

Michael covered his face and wept bitterly...

She always felt like she had become a hopeless bad girl...

"Is power really important to me, or rather..."

Michael suddenly stopped crying, and the image of Terra holding the dirty bedsheets and looking silly flashed through his mind...

"Or rather, is this really the life I want...?"

"..."

Michael glanced at the basin filled with soil beside the bed, sat up, and clasped his hands together...

"Let me practice first. I think I need to do something else to distract myself."

"..."

……

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, my money got stolen again. Why are there so many thieves lately? If all else fails, I guess I'll just have to find another place to sell pancakes..."

Terra, looking dejected, dragged the copper coin in her hand as she walked home.

Yes, his purse had been stolen again, leaving him with only a few coins in his pocket.

"The door is open; they're all home."

Looking at the open door, Terra finally felt a little comforted...

"Although Michael is mischievous and playful, she is kind at heart and always gives me a few words of encouragement when I need comfort the most."

"Yuan Hua is the same. Although we don't usually communicate much, he always lends a helping hand when I need it."

(P.S.: For example, when Michael is alone in his empty room, Yuan Hua can comfort Michael's lonely soul.)

"I feel like the happiest person in the world. Maybe the things that have happened to me recently are just Lady Luck being jealous of me?"

Very well, one sentence has directly offended Lady Luck.

Are you home?

Terra carried her load into the house, where Yuan Hua was huddled in the kitchen preparing dinner...

Why are you up so early today?

Yuan Hua glanced back and then pushed the fried chicken leg aside.

"Help yourself, it's fresh out of the pot, remember to wash your hands before eating."

Wow, that's amazing!

Terra put down the burden on her shoulders and quickly went to Yuan Hua's side...
