Chapter 43: The Empty Girl
"Yo, Uncle Youkai. The girl's crisp voice stopped Pannis, who was fleeing: "You are being chased by your sisters again, haha, just like Catherine's sister said, you can't always learn to be well-behaved, you have to be hunted down at least once a day, otherwise you will be sad at night and will not sleep well." β
"You dead kid. Pannis stopped, waved the roll of newspaper in his hand, hit the little girl's head symbolically a few times, rolled his eyes and said, "Children who are not yet adults know something, and they are not allowed to talk nonsense with them." β
"If you knock me on the head again, my brain will be knocked out stupidly. The girl covered her head, puffed out her mouth and glared at Pannis dissatisfied, and said, "Uncle Villain, you just bullied me in the morning, and now you are bullying me again." β
"How can something that doesn't exist in the first place be knocked out more stupidly. Pannis bypassed the defense of the girl's arm and knocked a few more times, and then said contentedly: "Well, it's empty inside, and it feels good to knock." β
"Hmph, Uncle Bastard, you wait for me, Wei ...... Sister. The girl swallowed the name that was about to be exported into her stomach in time, looked around vigilantly, and found that no one else noticed what she had just called, so she breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "It's so dangerous, sister, you see, Uncle Monster is bullying me again, you can help me beat him." β
"Don't worry, I'll tell Sister SΓΉ when I go back, he won't be able to escape when the time comes. The mage girl made a threatening gesture to Pannis, and then touched the little girl's head, and the two of them, who were obviously about the same height, made such a gesture, looking full of disobedience: "It's you, Lily, why are you still selling newspapers so late today? Don't you only do this part-time job in the morning? And I remember that your job is to deliver ordered newspapers, not to sell them on the street." β
"It's not because of you, sister. The little girl Lily looked around again, made sure that no one else would hear her, and whispered: "Sister Vivian, you don't know how famous you are now, it is said that all the newspapers in the Holy Capital have published supplements because of you, and all the newspapers are discussing your deeds, and now almost all the newsboys have been mobilized to sell newspapers within the scope of the whole Holy Capital, so it's okay, you can have five times the salary, hehe, I really hope there are such good things every day." However, what did you do, sister, the morning was fine, but it caused such a big sensation in an afternoon, I didn't know at first, but when I saw the picture in the newspaper, I knew it was you, sister, and I was really startled at the time, and I was almost seen that I knew you. β
"What I did, the newspaper should have written it. Vivien asked curiously, "Besides, am I very famous now?" β
"It's written in the newspaper, but it's too complicated for me to understand, and I won't be stupid enough to believe the content of the newspaper that I can understand. Lily wrinkled her nose and said, "As for my sister's fame, hehe, I'm afraid it's hard for you to imagine, almost everyone is talking about you now." β
"Why is this happening?" Vivien asked, puzzled, "It stands to reason that for ordinary people, my research results don't matter much, and they shouldn't be interested." β
"You're ignoring the sensational effect of the news. Pannis whispered, "You can recall how many times over the years you remember all the newspapers that have been so frantically focused on the same person, and even Snape, the richest man in the world, has not caused such a sensation when he visited the Holy Capital, and yet you did." Everyone can see your name in every newspaper, and for most ordinary people, your name is so unfamiliar, and you are a young girl, which enhances their curiosity, so it's no wonder that everyone makes you the focus of conversation. If I'm not mistaken, your name will continue to be the talk of the conversation at dinner tables and tea parties for the next month, and everyone will be proud to have been lucky enough to have met you, and after a month, your name will gradually disappear from the conversation, but after this month of memory reinforcement, at least in the minds of the inhabitants of the Holy City, your name has left a deep imprint, and it is impossible for them to forget it for a long time. β
"Well, Uncle Youkai is right this time. Lily pretended to be an adult, pretended to be mature and nodded: "Sister, you underestimate the terrible Cheng dΓΉ of the Shengdu newspaper, the channels of all the newspapers together can cover almost every corner of the Shengdu, and they are reported by all the newspapers, how can you not be a sensation." β
"Bang bang bang. The newspaper tube was once again raging on top of Lily's head, and Pannis teased, "What do you mean by saying it right this time, when did I say it wrong, dead child, don't talk nonsense if you can't speak." β
"Oops, Uncle Mix-and-Match, you knock again, hum, don't pay attention to you anymore. Lily held her head and ran away, kicked Pannis, waved her fist viciously, and then waved her hand to Vivien: "Sister, I'm going to sell newspapers, goodbye, ah, by the way, can my sister give me an autograph then, hehe, I'm going to show off to my friends once." β
"Absolutely. Vivien nodded, "Tomorrow morning you come to my house after delivering the newspaper, and I will grant your wish when the time comes." β
"Thank you, sister, goodbye, sister. Lily grimaced at Pannis, giggled and bounced away.
"Look, you've made a splash, everyone in the city is talking about your name, and it's foreseeable that it won't be long before that will expand to the whole world. Pannis said with a smirk, "How do you feel now? Pride, glory, pride, or something else?"
"Your smile is strange, and I always think you have some strange thoughts. The girl glanced at Pannis's smile suspiciously, but did not delve into it, but frowned and said: "At the beginning, it was indeed like you said, but after calming down, and seeing those people talking about me, I suddenly had a very empty feeling, which is why I am reluctant to face those reporters with the president." I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that it was boring, boring, and strange to do that, obviously it was the biggest pursuit of my life, but suddenly I couldn't raise the interest, and I was not interested in reaping the fruit. I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with me?"
"Hehe, come on, let's go home together. Pannis took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the girl, let the girl hold it hard, and laughed softly: "I think, you will be able to figure it out soon." β
"Do you already see my problem?" asked Vivien, "tell me." β
"Hehe, I don't want it. Pannis pulled the girl forward: "There are some things that you can only really understand if you understand them, let's go, go home." β
