The Sickly Villain Only Wants to Survive

79

Zhu Tong didn't have time to think about anything else, because the person in front of him was eagerly waiting.

Truly eager.

Since Shao Ming was taller than him, he usually looked at Zhu Tong with his eyes lowered, or from a seated, level perspective, or sometimes even when pinning him down... Ahem, in any case, it was rare for Shao Ming to look up at him like this.

Seeing Shao Ming from this angle gave Zhu Tong a unique sense of novelty.

Zhu Tong cleared his throat strategically and continued, "Because the world we live in is not an ordinary one."

"..."

After starting, Zhu Tong didn't dare to meet Shao Ming's eyes any longer.

He lowered his gaze and began to narrate in an orderly manner, from the appearance of the system, to the worldview the system had introduced to him, and even his decision to transfer schools to prolong his life. He also included his recent discovery that Xia Yang might also have a system. He revealed everything he could, except the details of his specific task.

After finishing, he continued to lower his head, his heart pounding, unable to suppress his nervousness.

He was anxious about how Shao Ming would react.

Unlike him, who had the system in his mind guiding him to accept this information, Shao Ming had nothing like that.

Although Shao Ming had said he would believe him, perhaps that was out of respect, choosing to trust him unconditionally, but subconsciously, he might not truly believe it.

Yet, Shao Ming had detected Xia Yang's anomaly on his own... He should believe it, right?

Maybe he just needed some time to digest all this information?

Zhu Tong waited patiently.

A few seconds later, he heard Shao Ming ask, "So, what was the reason for your transfer?"

Zhu Tong: "..."

He looked up abruptly, locking eyes with Shao Ming's deep, ink-black gaze.

He stared in confusion for a moment, then asked, "Don't you have any other questions?"

Why did he start with such a pointed question?

Shao Ming replied calmly, "No."

Zhu Tong: "..."

How could there be none? Just moments ago, he was so curious about Xia Yang's anomaly that he kept thinking about it even when it gave him a headache!

Zhu Tong had just shared so much—surely there were plenty of topics he could ask more about.

The system said, "It seems he only cares about questions related to you."

"..."

Zhu Tong fell silent.

So, everything he just said—about the nature of the world, the absurdity of the system, and Xia Yang's anomalies—none of that mattered to Shao Ming?

What he cared about was only Zhu Tong's task.

He only cared about Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong felt both touched and a little bitter. He lowered his head and said, "Sorry, but I can't tell you that."

Shao Ming cared about him, and he also cared about Shao Ming.

He didn't want Shao Ming to feel guilty over the task, because Shao Ming definitely would.
