Chapter 35

After Sophia asked that question, for a few minutes, the room they were in was in complete silence. And in those minutes of anguished silence, there was nothing left for Sophia to do, other than being apprehensive thinking what Noah would say, wondering what could be the cause of that sudden drastic change in mood he was having while looking at Noah's face .

Noah, after hearing Sophia's question, ended up also wondering what was the main cause of him having started having these sudden changes in mood, or was it more about sudden changes in personalities? And with his vision already back to normal, while looking at the ceiling that was once made of tiles made of red clay, and now they were starting to turn black, Noah was thinking a lot about what Sophia had asked him, mainly because of the fact that even he did not know what was the cause of it, he found himself again immersed in memories of the past.

*********

Walking for some time through the streets of the city where he lived, Xiao Yang saw that there was really nothing for him there, there was nowhere else he knew where he could spend time and de-stress from time to time, and while walking slowly in in front of a convenience store, the following thought even crossed his mind "Maybe it's finally time to look for some friends?" making him wonder if that would be the easiest way for him to find a way to pass the time, because people usually like to go out with their friends, so that would be the perfect excuse for him to be able to leave the house more often.

A few seconds after he had this thought, Xiao Yang stopped in front of the convenience store door and as he looked through the transparent glass door, he thought "Forget about that idiocy, I already use this excuse to go out with friends, so now the only way to get more time, would be to find another reason for me to have to leave the house. " when you take your right hand out of your pants pocket and slowly lift it towards the door.

After slowly pushing the door in front of him, Xiao Yang went into the store and went directly to the things he was going to buy, there were three shelves in the store, all completely filled with different things, the options on the shelves varied from a simple biscuit to a… well, we'll put that aside because they don't matter now.

Xiao Yang entered through the door on the left side of the store and just kept walking in a straight line, going in the direction of the last row on the left, and when he took five steps and reached the beginning of the shelves, he took only one can of soda and he walked towards the cashier, which was on the right side of the store, right next to a large glass window that you could see the whole street outside, or vice versa.

"Welcome!"

Exclaimed a beautiful girl with brown eyes, short blond hair, who apparently only worked in that place since she was wearing the establishment's uniform, a green-sleeved blouse and everything else blue, a small white spiral just below her shoulder right, and dark blue pants.

Xiao Yang placed the can on the counter and the girl asked, "Is that all it will be, sir?" with a bright smile on his face.

He looked around and when he saw a small shelf in front of the counter, Xiao Yang walked over to it, picked up a packet of snacks and went back to the cashier saying "No, I'll take that here too."

"Ok sir, that gives ... 15 Yuans."

"…Here it is."

Said Xiao Yang taking the money inside the left pocket of his pants and handing it to the girl.

"Check back often!"

Xiao Yang picked up his things and walked towards the door while opening the can of soda that was in his right hand, and after having opened it, when he raised his hand, taking it towards his mouth, and taking it also his left hand slowly towards the door, someone came pushing the door, causing Xiao Yang to end up dropping the soda on his own clothes, and let his packet of snacks fall on the floor.

And even though he knew it had been his fault, the man just kept walking into the store with his two friends, as if nothing had happened. Xiao Yang picked up things from the floor and as he opened the door to leave, he looked at those three with hatred.

He sighed after leaving the store and being three steps away from the door, next to a trash can Xiao Yang was ready to throw the can out when he heard it.

"Aaaaahh!"

(Sigh…)

"These are just… family problems."

'Family problems? What kind of family did he have to stay that way? '

"… So, are you going to help me?"

"Ah yes, what do I need to do?"

"Hurry up and give me something to heal myself!"

Noah whispered.

[They only have one pill that serves to heal the bones, so if it happens again you will have no other choice, except to depend on the lineage of the phoenix.]

'It's not like I'm planning to stay in bed again, so it doesn't matter.'

"... You just need to give it to me."

"That? But what? They have nothing ... "

Sophia did not understand what was happening, when she saw a golden pill with several white clouds around it, appearing right in front of her.
