Chapter 163: Chapter 158: Nonsense Literature

Xiao Yi didn’t even take a moment to feel sad that he couldn’t recall anyone else’s name, and chose to give up immediately.

"Anna, right? I’ve already remembered your name."

"Ah... yes, thank you."

Perhaps because Xiao Yi hadn’t shown much reaction to the news of his parents’ deaths, Liliana seemed to grow fonder of Xiao Yi.

It was then that Clements and Nania realized it might be better not to probe too much into the little girl’s past. After all, nobody likes their wounds to be reopened and exposed to others.

However, there was one thing Clements still cared about, and he continued by asking,

"So, can you tell us how you got here?"

"..." Liliana fell silent for a moment, but Clements’s gaze remained fixed on her, forcing her to respond.

At last, Liliana slowly and with some hesitation and stuttering answered,

"I... got lost, and then I saw something... an, uh... object."

"An object?" Nania asked, puzzled. "What kind of object?"

"That is..." Liliana was silent again, as if she herself couldn’t clearly describe what the object was.

At this moment, Xiao Yi asked her, "This object you’re talking about, is it like something that’s lifeless?"

Liliana nodded, "... Yes, that’s correct."

"I see, I think I understand now," Xiao Yi murmured thoughtfully, nodding his head.

Nania: "?"

Nania didn’t understand what Xiao Yi had grasped. She mused, don’t all objects lack life?

Afterwards, Xiao Yi told Clements and Nania, "Let’s leave this topic here. It’s enough to know it was an object. Don’t be too hard on her. After all... her vocabulary is quite poor, akin to whatever that is."

Nania couldn’t help but be speechless, "I think your vocabulary is also quite poor."

Clements then turned to Liliana, saying, "Well then, continue."

"Okay..." Liliana went on to say, "That object seemed to be guiding me, circling around me continuously. I followed it until I came back to my senses and found myself here, and then that object suddenly disappeared... That’s how I ended up here."

"..." Clements fell silent upon hearing this.

Liliana’s story had too many holes. Just the reason why she would be lost in the wilderness was unexplained, and moreover, the way she darted her gaze while speaking almost certainly confirmed she was lying.

Clements hesitated, clearly aware that the girl in front of him was hiding something, and he couldn’t help but start assessing the potential danger.

But Nania wasn’t thinking that far. Somewhat complainingly, she said to Clements, "Okay, surely that’s enough? She’s just a child and must be exhausted from getting here. Let her rest!"

"This... alright," Clements agreed, thinking that even if the little girl was hiding something, it couldn’t be particularly dangerous. He was probably overthinking.

Nania then turned to Liliana with a bright smile and said, "Alright, Little Anna, come along. Big sister will take you to your room."

"..." Clements couldn’t help but glance at Nania, thinking to himself that Nania looked to be at least in her thirties and yet she was calling herself ’big sister’ in front of a child?

However, Clements decided to remain silent and not voice this thought.

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, had no such scruples and looked at Nania with apparent astonishment.

"Big sister? Are you serious? You’re old enough to be a grandma, Aunty."

"... Hah?" A menacing glare flashed in Nania’s eyes, "What are you talking about? How could I be old enough to be a grandma? Are your eyes bad, or should I replace them for you with bullets?"

But no sooner had Nania finished speaking than a "gurgle gurgle" sound was heard.

Everyone immediately looked toward Liliana; there was no doubt the sound came from her small stomach.

"You..." Xiao Yi now noticed that the little girl in front of him was quite skinny, "You look like you haven’t eaten in a long time, just like someone who hasn’t eaten in a long time."

"...?" Clements couldn’t help but look at Xiao Yi, asking, "What do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand."

Clements didn’t understand why Xiao Yi had repeated that she hadn’t eaten in a long time.

Not just Clements, the live stream audience thought the same.

[What a load of redundant rhetoric.]

[Now that’s a figurehead for redundant rhetoric.]

"Don’t you need to ask?" Xiao Yi answered as follows, "I’m using a metaphor."

Clements: "???"

Clements was even more confused.

"You... don’t understand what a metaphor is?" In Xiao Yi’s eyes as he looked at Clements, there was a touch of pity.

Xiao Yi always felt that people who hadn’t even had basic education were quite pitiful.

At that moment, Nania, with some concern, asked Liliana, "Are you hungry?"

But Liliana shook her head and said, "No, I’m not hungry, it’s just my stomach feels uncomfortable, like something keeps burrowing through it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

Then, Xiao Yi squatted down, looked at Liliana with a serious face, as if he was about to say something unbelievable:

"Let me educate you on something, being hungry feels just like that. And, let me give you another piece of common knowledge, when you feel hungry, you... can relieve your hunger by eating!"

There was nothing wrong with what Xiao Yi said.

But watching him say that with such an overly solemn and serious expression, it was a bit much for everyone to keep a straight face.

[Shocking! Eating food can relieve hunger!]

[Damn! Discovery of the century!]

[Holy shit! What a great discovery! Following the logic of this method, I also found out that sleep can actually relieve tiredness, y’know!]

Then, Xiao Yi turned to Clements and asked,

"Is there any food here?"

"Yes, but..." Clements answered, "We only have flour and some seasonings in the kitchen, only enough to make things like flatbreads."

"That’ll do," said Xiao Yi. "We can’t let a child go hungry; let’s go make something to eat."

Hearing this, the folks in the live stream audience immediately became tense!

But fortunately, Clements said, "Actually, I’ve already made some flatbreads; they’re baking right now, I’ll go get them."

With that, Clements turned and left swiftly.

The folks in the live stream crowd were immediately overcome with gratitude towards Clements.

[Thank you, Clements.]
