Chapter 318: Civil Strife (27)
"Why?"
The sudden sound of speech made everyone present stunned for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, Leach remembered that there was another person on the scene who had been forgotten in the corner - Howard.
At this time, Howard has long lost the proud appearance of a big rooster in heat when he performed in front of Qin Guo before, and he is half-bowed in front of him, his eyes are empty, like a soulless puppet.
In fact, if Howard hadn't spoken himself, everyone would have almost forgotten that he existed. From the moment Leach questioned Qin Guo's identity, and Qin Guo couldn't refute it, he was completely blinded by the explosive news he suddenly received, and he didn't come back to his senses until now.
"Big Brother Howard......" Qin Guo looked at the lost Howard with a complicated expression, not knowing how to speak.
Qin Guo had long expected that Howard would know his "true identity", but she didn't expect this moment to come so soon, and when she really faced it, she realized that no matter what she said, she looked so pale.
Of course, Qin Guo was not moved by Howard's sincerity, she had a good impression of him in her heart, with her identity and experience, it was impossible to be moved by the other party's youthful and clumsy show of love, the reason why she was a little ashamed to face it at this time was just the kindness in her heart, and she couldn't bear to see such a simple big boy hurt by herself.
"Why?" didn't get the answer he wanted, and Howard repeated it in an aggravated tone.
"I'm sorry ......" Although Qin Guo originally came to Kermos with a purpose, and he thought that he had a clear conscience in everything he did here, but in the face of a person who was thinking about her wholeheartedly from beginning to end, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart, even if he had a thousand words, he only turned into a helpless apology in the end.
"I'm sorry......" Howard smiled wistfully, "Miss Qinguo, why you, why you?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say. "Qin Guo is Qin Guo after all, after experiencing the initial inner turmoil, he quickly cleaned up his mood and became rational again, "I can only say, I'm sorry, from the beginning, I came to Kelmos for a purpose, I know that Brother Howard you have a crush on me, but I have said many times openly and secretly that we are not suitable." In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can find that if I am really an ordinary girl, how can I behave so calmly from beginning to end when facing the pursuit of a boy who has no bad habits and is in a high position, even if I don't have that feeling for you, I can't keep a certain distance from you all the time, even if I can't develop into a lover, can't I even be a good friend?"
Looking at Qin Guo, whose temperament had become completely different in front of him, Howard suddenly felt that she was so strange, and after listening to her explanation, he couldn't tell what it was like.
If you want to talk about resentment, Qin Guo has never made any promises to him, and he has never cheated on her emotionally, because until now, he has not even held Qin Guo's hand, everything is just his wishful thinking, so there is nothing to talk about being betrayed by others.
If you want to be angry, this aspect may be reasonable, because what Qin Guo did really infringed on the interests of the townspeople, although it is not known what she did it for, but it is obvious that Howard, a resident of Kelmos, has reason to be angry.
But he knew that although Qin Guo's actions were particularly excessive, from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't hate Qin Guo, maybe because he liked it too much, or maybe because he still couldn't accept the cruel truth.
On top of that, there's disappointment.
But this obviously has nothing to do with Qin Guo herself, the disappointment stems from the fact that she is not as beautiful as she imagined, but who has the right to demand that others must be the kind of person they expect?
Seeing that Howard didn't say a word and his expression kept changing, Qin Guo felt that some things still had to be cut through the mess quickly, so he hardened his heart: "Mr. Howard, I know that you are a good person and should not have been hurt, but unfortunately we met the wrong person in the wrong place, and everything can only be said to be a creation and a man." As a ...... who have been together for a while Call them friends, or acquaintances, and I suggest that you preferably have never met me before, and that there are some things, some people, that people of your stature should not be exposed to. I believe that you will definitely meet a girl who is suitable for you, and live happily and peacefully. Perhaps, when you reach old age, you will only think that this experience is not too pleasant. ”
"Dream......" Qin Guo's words obviously touched Howard very much, and that feeling was like a beautifully packaged gift box that you had coveted for a long time, but one day, you suddenly learned that what was contained in the gift box was not a beautiful gift, but a butcher's knife stained with blood.
Outside of Howard's wanderings, Tali, who has always been very prejudiced against him, said to Qin Guo indignantly: "I didn't expect you to be not only hypocritical, but also ruthless, but this stupid person still stubbornly thought that you were a good person just now, and thought about you wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect that what I got back was your fluttering 'just forget it'?"
Seeing that their eldest sister was verbally insulted, the five bearded men immediately exploded, and the most intense reaction was the master man who was frightened by Tali's terrifying weapon just now: "Little ghost, what qualifications do you have to criticize the eldest sister? Do you know what the eldest sister has paid, and do you know how kind the eldest sister is? You don't know! In this case, why do you say bad things about the eldest sister?"
"I don't know," Tali said with disdain, "but I know that she is hard-hearted, she can do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, regardless of the interests of the entire town, and she can turn a blind eye to the sincerity of others, or even take it to heart at all, shouldn't such a person be scolded?"
The master's face was flushed with anger, and when he was about to open his mouth to continue reasoning with Tali, he was stopped by Qin Guo waving his hand: "Miss Lucy, this is a matter between me and Mr. Howard, no matter what is right or wrong, it doesn't seem to be something you should take care of, don't you think you are a little too lenient?"
"I ......" hit a soft nail, Tali was choked half to death, and simply played the scoundrel, "I just can't get used to it, I want to fix you guys!"
After saying that, she picked up her weapon and rushed towards Qin Guo and the group.
