"Jiang Ruotong! How dare you eat Brother Lin's cake?!" Chen Xi glared at me, as if about to slap me.
Before I could even retort, Lin Chi immediately grabbed Chen Xi's wrist.
In a cold tone, "I'm the one who made her eat it."
Without thinking, he added, "And also, she is my teacher, so please show some respect!"
"Brother Lin, you hurt me," Chen Xi said irritably, then glared at me before turning and leaving.
I watched her leaving figure and then looked at Lin Chi with some concern. Unexpectedly, Lin's mother came over.
She crossed her arms and glared at me with some displeasure. "Miss Jiang, we invited you here to tutor Lin Chi, not to rudely feast at our family's banquet!"
After hearing this, I chuckled in anger, "Come on, don't you know your son is allergic to mangoes? You bought such a huge cake just to show off, but it seems like this birthday party has already excluded the birthday boy!"
After speaking, I actually felt a little guilty, afraid of being driven out of the Lin family, but I really couldn't care about that for the time being!
Lin Chi didn't wait for "Lin's mother" to react, just gave her a cold look and then pulled me away.
The banquet was still lively as ever.
Lin Chi took me to a small wooden house in the backyard of the Lin family. The house was filled with oil paintings, and the walls were a bit peeling, but it was evident that someone must come to clean this room regularly.
"This is the room where my mother used to spend a lot of time. I used to often paint with her in here when I was a child," Lin Chi said before I could even ask.
I looked around and saw several colorful children's paintings hanging on the walls.
Lin Chi stared at the painting behind me and said, "This painting was given to me by my mother when I just started elementary school."
I saw a woman in the painting holding a bow and arrow, with dark clouds not far from her, and it seemed that a fierce wolf was staring at her on the ground.
He smiled faintly and said, "Back then, I used to cry a lot, but my mother told me to use the weapons in my hands to defeat difficulties. So she gave me this painting."
"Later, I gradually reduced the frequency of my crying, but my mother was gone forever," he said, his expression darkening as he lowered his head.
I slowly approached him, pursed my lips, and reached out to touch his head.
If I hadn't come into this world, perhaps his misfortune would be a little less.
The witch told me that by intruding into this world that doesn't belong to me, I would inevitably change some things in the original course of this world, whether it's people or things.
As an outsider, it's very likely that I have changed the fate of Lin's mother, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to become Lin Chi's family tutor.
Thinking of this, I felt a little guilty and wanted to let go of stroking Lin Chi's head.
But Lin Chi suddenly grabbed my hand as I was about to let go, looked at me with big eyes, and said with a slight smile, " Teacher Jiang, you won't leave me, will you?"
Silly child, I won't leave you, but I will destroy you.
"......Mm." After a moment of silence, I lowered my head and softly responded.
Lin Chi, we are ultimately not meant for the same world.
But he held my waist, lifted my chin with his hand, and had a look of pure innocence, " Teacher Jiang, look at me and say you won't leave me."
I was forced to look at him, his eyes bright and clear, but I always felt some unclear emotions inside. I raised my hand and touched his face, "I won't leave Lin Chi." Then I touched his earlobe and looked into his eyes lightly.
Lin Chi, goodbye.
