After opening the box, a toxic plastic odor seeped into my nose.

My familiar childhood companions slept peacefully in the middle of some bubble wrap, and brother Optimus Prime was in his truck form. Perhaps Xiao Qin felt that this form was not as easily damaged.

I roughly counted 25 transformer toys, not a single one missing.

Moreover, they were kept in very good shape, not only did the metal parts have no rust, I couldn’t even find a speck of dust. It must have been taken out at regular intervals and carefully wiped.

I was suddenly moved.

I’ve always thought that after these robots were taken away by Little Tyrant, they would’ve been constantly subjected to inhumane abuse.

Bitten, stepped on, drowned, and burned with a lighter, these kinds of torture.

It turned out just as Xiao Qin said, she properly took care of them!

After counting, I wanted to put all the toys back, but I don’t know why, maybe because I was placing them wrong, I wasn’t able to put the lid back onto the box.

I put the box on the ground, I wanted to use brute force, but I was worried that I would hurt my companions.

Seeing me fret, Xiao Qin wiped her tears, silently got off the bed and kneeled down to help me put the toys back.

I didn’t refuse. Xiao Qin may be more talented than me in organizing items. Let me squeeze dry her last remaining value.

You are willing to kneel on the ground like a maid, I’ll take that as your apology and atonement toward my companions.

Xiao Qin took all the robots out first and then placed them back in a certain order.

Every time she picked up a robot, Xiao Qin was very reluctant, as if her daughter was getting married.

Especially when she was putting Optimus Prime back, she even covered her mouth, turned away and made a quiet sobbing sound.

Are you kidding me! You held Optimus Prime in captivity for five years. Do you really think that he is yours? Stop dreaming! Optimus Prime will not give in to you! It’s useless even if you try to bribe him with Energon!

However, Xiao Qin was very careful when she was putting the toys away as if they were porcelain. After she was finished, she found the tape from the drawer and sealed the cardboard box.

I should have helped her when she sealed it, but I didn’t want to touch her hand.

That time when we touched hands at the subway station really made my heart beat very fast.

Seeing that she was reluctant to part to the point of tears, yet desperately forcing herself to finish, I could not help but want to praise her:

“It’s thanks to you that they’re in such good shape!”

Xiao Qin had been puckering her lips trying to keep herself from crying, after hearing me praise her, a slight smile instantly blossomed on her face.

“En! Because these robots are Ye Lin classmate’s lifeblood so I maintained them as if I was maintaining Ye Lin classmate’s lifeblood!”

“They aren’t my lifeblood! I haven’t played with transformers since I was 14 years old! I just wanted to get them back to commemorate my childhood! Also, stop saying things that are easily misunderstood by other people!”

After being scolded by me, Xiao Qin lowered her head and didn’t say anything else.

The atmosphere was kind of awkward. I didn’t know whether I should leave or not, Xiao Qin finally broke the silence:

“Ye, Ye Lin classmate, I have returned brother Optimus Prime to you, can you forgive me for bullying you?”

I carefully pondered about her purpose when she said that.

If I said that I forgive her, she might even immediately ask me if I can be her boyfriend.

I won’t get fooled.

“Stop dreaming! The crimes you committed when you bullied me were too innumerable to count! Even if you returned the toys, it’s only enough to offset a tiny bit of your sin!”

For example, after the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese did not apologize to the victims but instead said: I am sorry that we spat anywhere we liked at the time.

Xiao Qin’s kneeling posture shrank.

Suddenly, she lowered her upper body and prostrated in front of me.

Her forehead hit the wooden floor and made a “bump” sound.

“I’m sorry! Like Ye Lin classmate said in the love letter, I’m kneeling and kowtowing as an apology! Please forgive me!”

That was a challenge letter, not a love letter! Also, where has your backbone gone? Under a man’s knees… No, no, no, even a girl can’t just casually kowtow to someone!

Even if she goes to this extent, I can’t be soft.

As soon as I’m moved by her pitiful image, the situation will reverse and I will be consigned to eternal damnation.

I stood up from the chair and strolled next to Xiao Qin’s head that was pressed onto the floor.

The enemy’s feet are so close to her face that it will give her a strong sense of humiliation.

You can kill but you can’t humiliate, you should immediately jump up, and kick my face!

If you change back to the fierce Little Tyrant, maybe our interactions will be more normal!

Xiao Qin continued to maintain her ostrich-like posture and wished she could stick her head under the floor.

In this position, the highest point of the body becomes the ass, which is a bit indecent for a girl.

Moreover, she wore such a short skirt today.

If you go around her, I could probably see a panoramic view of what’s under her skirt, right?

But I won’t do that. I am a gentleman, a proletarian successor who has separated oneself from vulgar interests.

“Stop being a disgrace! You’re kneeling beneath an enemy’s feet, you’ve already tossed away all martial artist’s and auntie Ren’s face!”

As if I reminded her, Xiao Qin discovered that my feet were less than 20 cm away from her face.

I thought that because the room was so hot, she had already noticed the smell of my stinky sweat.

Xiao Qin suddenly stuck out a cat-like small tongue like she wanted to lick my socks.

I was scared and drew my breath and subconsciously backed off, because of the magnitude, I sat down on the bed.

“What are you doing? Do you know how dirty my socks are?”

I firmly scolded her.

“But, but to get Ye Lin classmate to forgive me, I can’t think of any other way!”

Xiao Qin defended herself.

“I saw in a manga that when men quarrel with each other, they frequently say, ‘I’ll forgive you if you kneel down and lick my shoes’, so I thought that as long as I was willing to lick Ye Lin classmate’s socks, you would forgive me… ”

“Is it true that I am too naive? I wanted to use socks to get away with it. I am still too immature with this kind of wishful thinking!”

Xiao Qin covered her mouth with both hands and it looked like she was making an effort to prevent herself from vomiting.

“If that won’t work, please put on your sneakers and let me lick your soles!”

I was so angry that I couldn’t speak.

“No way! Keep dreaming!”

There was an expression of despair on Xiao Qin’s face.

“Won’t you forgive me even if I lick your soles? What should I do to get you to forgive me?”

Tears came spilling out of Xiao Qin’s eyes, she looked excitedly and pointed at the heart-shaped balloons floating against the ceiling.

“If, if you are willing to forgive me, I can let you play with the balloons as you please!”

What do you mean by play as I please! And in your eyes, are you actually on the same level as a balloon? I’ve already completely given up on the chaotic values in your brain!

If I wasn’t a guest in someone else’s home, I would have already knocked this mental case out and then escaped away with the toys!

The atmosphere in the room became even more strange. I sat silently on the bed and didn’t talk.

Xiao Qin used her arm to wipe away her tears (I’ve already lost track of how many times she’s wiped her tears) and stood up from the ground.

She went to the window and closed the curtains.

Although the crying made the corner of her eyes like a cat, she seems to have calmed down.

I don’t know what she wants to do, the only remaining light in the room was from the LCD screen of the laptop.

She also closed the notebook.

The room suddenly darkened.

Only a glimmer of light from the gaps of the curtains allowed us to barely see each other.

Xiao Qin squeezed a mischevious smile:

“Ye Lin classmate, shall I show you something that you can’t usually see?”

She said that and then walked towards me.
