Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 62

[Chapters 60 and 61 have been rewritten~ Please go back and reread them~ I wasn’t satisfied with the original two, I was in a terrible state yesterday and felt they were really badly written-especially Yan Jie being set up as too strong. At this stage, her strength should be about the same as our little Xiaoxiao baby’s, nowhere near that overpowered. She does have great talent and is very suited to the Horror Game, but at most she’s just an executioner who hasn’t fully grown yet. I’ve also added a new silly Mom Fan character~]

Su Xiaoxiao was like a small wild animal, bristling all over with quills, her eyes full of wariness.

Especially that pair of eyes-there wasn’t the slightest bit of the liveliness a child should have. Instead, they seemed dull and lifeless.

It made Xiang Hui feel as if an invisible hand had closed around her heart, squeezing until she suddenly couldn’t breathe.

When she’d watched the livestream, she hadn’t felt it so strongly. Seeing it in person now, her heart ached even more.

Then, as she took in how there wasn’t an ounce of extra flesh on Su Xiaoxiao, how thin she was, Xiang Hui felt her nose sting. She couldn’t hold back anymore and lunged forward to hug Su Xiaoxiao again.

This time, Xiang Hui didn’t cover Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth, because she came up from behind to hug her.

The moment she got her arms around her, Xiang Hui’s eyes filled with tears, heart aching like crazy.

“Wah! My poor baby girl! Mommy’s been through it too! Mommy understands you!”

Su Xiaoxiao still had no idea what was wrong with this woman.

But the kindness she was radiating, that raw, aching pity-none of it felt fake.

Xiang Hui’s sincerity was so convincing that even the bespectacled woman standing to the side, Lü Le, almost believed Su Xiaoxiao really was Xiang Hui’s child.

What rattled Su Xiaoxiao the most was that the way this woman hurt for her actually did resemble her mother a little.

But Su Xiaoxiao knew perfectly well this was her first time meeting this woman. Before today, they had never even crossed paths.

And she’d said she was “someone who’d been through it,” that she “understood” her-what was that supposed to mean?

Su Xiaoxiao calmed her breathing. Seeing the other woman like this, she simply let her keep hugging her.

Then Su Xiaoxiao spoke, face blank, her tone carrying a trace of comfort she herself didn’t notice. “Can you calm down first?”

Lü Le hurriedly chimed in as well. “Yeah, Xiang Hui! Get a hold of yourself. If you keep this up, the little girl’s going to think you’re some weirdo.”

Hearing the two of them, Xiang Hui, who’d completely lost her composure, especially after Lü Le said she’d leave a bad impression on Xiaoxiao, forced herself to steady her emotions.

“My girl, I’m sorry, Mommy couldn’t hold it in. I just felt so bad I got carried away.”

Hearing the woman call her “my girl” again, Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and asked, “I’m very sure I’ve never met you. Who are you? Why are you calling me your daughter? And when you say you’ve been through it, that you understand me-what does that mean?

“Lastly, don’t call me ‘my girl.’ I have a name. You can call me Xiaoxiao.”

The not-so-bright Xiang Hui finally had her brain boot back up. Still holding Su Xiaoxiao, she mumbled,

“I’m not listening, I’m not listening. So many people call you ‘my girl,’ why should I be the one to change? It’s true you’ve never met me, but I watch you every single day, and I know everything about you!”

“As for me saying I’ve been through it-it’s because what I went through as a kid was pretty much the same as you. I’m an orphan, so I was bullied at the Academy too. But I’m a bit luckier than you, because I met a grandma who was really, really good to me and pulled me out of the darkness.”

There was a lot to unpack in what Xiang Hui said.

Su Xiaoxiao was taking it in slowly.

This woman who called herself Xiang Hui watched me every day? Knew everything about me? She’d been bullied too? And there were a lot of people who called me “my girl”?

She continued to ask, “Why do you say a lot of people call me ‘my girl’? And what do you mean you watch me every day? How do you know all these things about me?”

Off to the side, Lü Le was also staring at Xiang Hui, curiosity written all over her face.
Xiang Hui didn’t answer right away. Instead, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, “My girl, turn your Bullet Comments back on first.”

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Bullet Comments?

Wait.

She suddenly remembered.

So Su Xiaoxiao unblocked the Bullet Comments she’d had turned off for a long time.

It was fine when they were off.

The moment she turned them on, the dense, rapidly scrolling Bullet Comments instantly stunned her.

All those densely packed Bullet Comments were “my girl”!

A dazed look clearly appeared on Su Xiaoxiao’s small face.

Who could tell her what on earth was going on?

Xiang Hui craned her neck to check Su Xiaoxiao’s expression, then went on, “Alright, my girl, you can block the Bullet Comments again~they’re not important~ I found you because I was watching the Live Stream Room~”

After saying that, Xiang Hui pulled a mischievous face. The people in the Live Stream Room were definitely going to lose their minds in a second, hahaha.

The wall of “my girl” flying across the screen really had shaken Su Xiaoxiao a bit; she nodded and blocked the Bullet Comments again.

The viewers in Su Xiaoxiao’s Live Stream Room saw that she had finally turned the Bullet Comments back on, only to block them again right away. Their anger at Xiang Hui shot through the roof.

“You hateful wicked woman! Trying to hog her all to yourself! How could you!”

“I’m done! I haven’t even gotten to say a single word to my Xiaoxiao baby and you made her block the Bullet Comments again!”

“Xiang Hui! I really, really ‘thank’ you, huh! You’re so awful!”

“You’re the one who’s not important! Stay away from my Xiaoxiao baby!”

“Xiang Hui, at least tell Xiaoxiao baby that the people who bullied her have already been brought to justice!”

Xiang Hui had no idea the viewers in Su Xiaoxiao’s Live Stream Room were currently fuming. She hugged Su Xiaoxiao, patted her on the head, and spoke slowly.

“My girl, your past, everything you’ve been through-actually, a lot of people already know. Whether you believe it or not, we really do feel so sorry for you.”

“When I was a kid and got bullied at the academy, I lived in darkness every day. I couldn’t feel the sun, I couldn’t see any hope. Back then there was no light in my heart at all, and I kept thinking more and more about ending my life.”

“Later, the grandma who adopted me appeared and pulled me out of that dark swamp.”

“When I found out about what happened to you, my girl, it was like seeing my past self. Only someone who’s been through that darkness can truly put themselves in your shoes and feel that bottomless abyss behind you, baby.”

“My girl…”

Su Xiaoxiao could tell the other woman was about to launch into an endless speech. She hurriedly cut her off.

“You’re telling me all this because you want to say… what, exactly?”

Xiang Hui leaned in close to Su Xiaoxiao, cheek rubbing against cheek. “Because my heart aches for you, baby! I want you to feel a mother’s love again!”

Su Xiaoxiao: …

There’s a language in this world called ‘speechless.’

Off to the side, Lü Le was completely thunderstruck by Xiang Hui.

She’d been getting all moved by herself a second ago, and then you say that next???

Confirmed! There was definitely something off about the way this woman Xiang Hui’s brain was wired compared to normal people!

You can keep that kind of thing in your heart; why would you say it out loud!

Xiang Hui, however, didn’t feel there was anything wrong with what she’d said. She continued seriously to Su Xiaoxiao:

“Oh right, my girl, there’s also something really important I have to tell you! You’re definitely going to be happy when you hear it!”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned in confusion. “What is it?”

Xiang Hui organized her thoughts, then smiled.

“Didn’t I just say that a lot of people already know what you went through? So that family who adopted you, and the ones at the academy who bullied you-any scum who laid a finger on you-have all been brought to justice! Their good days are all over!”

“Well, my girl? Aren’t you happy to hear that? Aren’t you glad?”
