“Hmm?
Is there a story behind this bracelet?
Something like my gold necklace?”
Koda wanted to see if he could actually take the bracelet.
If he could not but took it anyway, it would cause quite a bit of trouble.
“Mine does not have one.
It was a gift from my mother and is not as precious as your necklace.
If this will not do, then I have nothing else.”
When Toph said this, she was clearly a bit dejected.
Her head drooped and her hands hung down, giving the illusion that she had done something wrong.
Having lacked a playmate for a long time, she was very much looking forward to having a friend who would not look down on her because of her blindness, nor would they constantly yield to and look after her because of it.
What she wanted was a friend like a normal person, to play the same way and share the same happiness.
In her eyes, the help of others was a form of mockery.
She could take care of herself.
Koda’s appearance made him the perfect candidate.
“It’ll do!
Who says it will not?
Although there’s a difference in the value of our items, that gap is filled directly by our newly formed friendship.
After all, we’re friends.”
Koda stepped forward, patted Toph’s head to comfort her, and handed the bracelet back.
In fact, from the moment he suspected whether Toph was the phantom of the girl he saw in the swamp, he had inevitably developed a good impression of her.
It was not about love at first sight.
It was just his obsession with that phantom acting up.
“Friends!
You said we’re friends, no taking it back!!”
Toph, who had looked somewhat vulnerable just a moment ago, suddenly became excited.
She seemed to have an even deeper obsession with the word “friend” than Koda did.
She raised her head, shook off the hand on her head, and stared straight at him.
She was afraid he would say something like “I was just joking.” She could not detect words of that nature, and she was unwilling to use that ability on a friend.
Being stared at like that, even though he knew she could not see anything at all, Koda still felt a bit awkward.
He had intended to interact with her as an elder, but she had pulled him down to an equal level.
The friendship thing earlier was just a casual remark, but it seemed she cared deeply about it.
It’s just being friends.
What’s the harm in Koda acknowledging her as a friend?
“Don’t worry, I, Koda, am a man of my word.
If I say you’re my friend, then you’re my friend.
Unless you do not acknowledge it, we’ll be friends for life.”
He patted his chest, using particularly confident words to prove it and make Toph believe.
Upon hearing Koda’s guarantee, she revealed a sincere smile.
A cool breeze brushed past again, blowing up her white dress and her two long hair buns, and it also stirred his heart.
“Hurry, tell me, what happened to Xiao Huohuo later?
What changed after Yao Lao woke up?”
The young girl sat on a stool, swinging her two tender pink feet, looking at Koda with a face full of anticipation.
“What’s the rush?
The story has only just begun.
I’ll continue tomorrow.
It’s already late, and I should head back to rest.”
Dusk had already arrived.
After making their promise, the two sat there chatting.
Since there was not much else to do, Koda started telling this young girl one of the most popular novels from his previous life, Dou Ma Cang Qiong. Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
She listened with great interest.
After all, today was a rare happy time for her.
Not only had she made a new friend, but she also heard such an interesting story.
“Oh alright then.
Do not forget to be at the mountain base promptly at 8 o’clock tomorrow.
I’ll be waiting for you.”
“I know, I know.
It’s not like I have Alzheimer’s.
How could I forget?
By the way, remember not to wear these kinds of clothes when you come out tomorrow, otherwise how are we supposed to fight?”
Toph’s hands felt around her dress, and she seemed to have indeed discovered a problem.
“But I do not have any other clothes.
All I have here are dresses like this.
What should I do?”
She showed a troubled expression.
“How about I just cut off the bottom of the dress tomorrow?
That should work.
What do you think?
It’s easy and keeps things cool.”
A flash of inspiration hit Toph as she thought of this method, even feeling quite clever as she looked at him as if seeking credit.
Koda was quite speechless.
You’ll be cool, but what about me?
You will not even know if you’re exposed, but I can see.
He thought to himself:
Is she trying to make me show a weakness?
What a terrifyingly calculating mind.
Finally, Koda thought of a solution for her.
“Do not you know the earth bending technique?
Tonight, I’ll sneak to the front of your room, knock on the window, and give you some clothes.
You can change into them tomorrow.”
“That’s a great idea!”
The excitement on Toph’s face was plain to see.
In fact, as long as you truly interacted with Toph, you would find that beneath her tough, unyielding personality, there was a cuteness that matched her appearance.
An innocent girl who had never been exposed to these novel things, at this moment, she was no different from a blank sheet of paper.
It could only be said that her parents had protected her too well.
“Then stand still.
I’ll measure your dimensions.”
He opened the nozzle of the water flask at his waist, and a stream of water was drawn out, turning into a thin water whip that circled her to take the measurements.
She turned her head left and right, trying to see the form of the water, but Koda played a trick on her.
“Hahahahaha, Koda, stop tickling me!
Hahaha…
it tickles too much…”
After tickling her for a while, he retracted the water stream.
Toph looked at him huffily and then made a threat.
“You’re finished tomorrow!!!”
Seeing this, Koda found her expression very amusing.
He stepped forward, poked her puffed-out cheeks flat, pinched her nose, and said:
“You underestimate me too much.
Tomorrow, I’ll definitely beat you until you surrender.”
I’ll come by tonight to deliver the clothes.
Remember to put on your shoes, or else when the maid comes later, she’ll think I took them off, since in their eyes you’re ‘pitiful, weak, and helpless’!”
“Tch…”
Hearing him say that, Toph’s mouth twisted in displeasure again.
She hated being looked after so meticulously and hated being considered weak, but she had to go along with it for now given the circumstances.
Koda walked out of the main courtyard and saw the servants lined up outside.
They were waiting for Toph to finish her cultivation so they could go in and complete the work they had not finished at noon.
“Sigh, they all have it hard.”
There was not much else he could do.
Everyone has their own way of living, and this was their job.
All he could do was pay more attention in the future.
Upon returning to his own courtyard, he found the President waiting for him at the door with a smile.
“Little brother Koda, how do you find the surroundings?
Is there anything you’re dissatisfied with regarding this courtyard?
Just let me know.
As long as I can do it, I’ll arrange everything.”
“Uh, the environment is very beautiful.
I like it a lot.
There is nothing I’m dissatisfied with about this courtyard.”
“That’s good.
I came over just to get your feedback.
Since you’re satisfied, I shall take my leave and rest as well.”
After saying that, he got up, excused himself, and gradually disappeared from view.
He happened to have a task now, and it would be dark soon.
If the President had stayed and not left, he would have had to go buy things in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, he was just checking in and did not stay long.
Returning to the room, he looked at the furnishings.
They were mostly complete and there was no obvious dust.
Then he left the room, preparing to go out and buy clothes.
“Wait!
I feel like I’ve forgotten something.
What could it be?”
Having just stepped out of the house, he stood at the door, placing a finger on his chin and thinking carefully.
After a while, he finally remembered.
“A Yi, oh crap!
I left A Yi back there!!”
