Morning Star

Chapter 296 Shall We Get Married?

"?!" The sudden kiss made him close his left eye reflexively.

"This is the reward." She smiled, "If it's not enough, I can kiss you somewhere else."

As he spoke, he slowly moved the tip of his right finger along his face toward his neck.

Not only did the scratches make his neck itchy, but his heart also felt itchy.

He frowned slightly and quickly grabbed the disobedient hand: "Do you still want to eat cake?"

She was slightly stunned, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Eat, eat, eat, of course."

He quickly withdrew his hand, sat on the stool, and coughed twice to come back to his senses.

Sit upright facing the cake, adjust your posture, raise your hands in front of your chest, clasp your hands together, close your eyes, and start making a wish.

The dim candlelight danced on the girl's fair cheeks, making her outline even softer.

Mo Xinglan looked at her blankly, opened his mouth but didn't utter a word, hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Will she agree to him?

Otherwise, wait a little longer?

But he...didn't want to wait any longer.

While he was struggling, Chujiu had already blown out the candle.

The surroundings suddenly went dark, bringing him back to his senses.

With a wave of his hand, the spirit ball lamps hanging around lit up.

Suddenly it became bright, and Chujiu closed his eyes in some discomfort. After opening his eyes, he was shocked again and couldn't speak.

Then I could see clearly that they were in a pavilion by the water.

The pavilion is surrounded by small light balls, some of which look like the colored lights on the earth, but they are all white.

Looking up at the lake, you can see river lanterns floating on the surface, with small light balls placed in the center of the lanterns.

The river lanterns light up the entire lake like stars.

"Stars, stars, this, when is this...?" She stood up and pointed at the lights around her and on the lake.

He propped up his head and smiled: "When do you think it will be?"

After hearing this, she looked down at him blankly and thought about it.

Could it have been done this afternoon?

I haven't seen it here usually.

Suddenly he remembered something and his face darkened: "You did it?"

He was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "Not all of them. I made the ones on top, and I asked Fang Hao and the other three to put the ones on the lake."

The lake is so big, and there are so many river lanterns to be released. If he were to release all the lanterns with all the injuries on his body, his body would definitely not be able to bear it.

After hearing his answer, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.

She looked around at the layout, then at the cake in front of her. She tilted her head and smiled at him: "Xingxing, thank you."

"..."

He paused after hearing this, then lowered his eyes: "Try it and see if it tastes like that."

She nodded, picked up the chopsticks beside her, took out a piece and put it in the empty bowl.

Then he took another piece and put it in another bowl.

But before I could pick it up, I heard the person next to me say, "I don't want to eat it."

She paused: "Why?"

Could it be...

Probably not?

She still felt at ease with the food made by Xingxing.

But...he has never eaten cake either.

How about trying it first?

Thinking of this, he picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The soft cake is mixed with a strong milky flavor, smooth and delicate. It is a long-lost taste, even better than every cake I have eaten before.

He ate one bite after another, and continued to eat several bites in a row.

Soon she finished the piece in the bowl.

He raised his chopsticks and was about to put the piece of food he had just intended to give him into his own bowl, but he stopped short.

Staring at the cake with a missing piece and thinking of how delicious it was, she suddenly felt that a cake with a diameter of 20 centimeters was not enough for her to eat, but could she really not share some with him?

It doesn't seem good to eat alone, especially since he was the one who cooked it.

"You... really... don't want to eat?" she asked hesitantly.

He smiled and said, "No."

With her greedy nature, how could he not know what she was thinking now?

Hearing his answer, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him: "Then I won't be polite."

He smiled helplessly but said nothing.

When had she ever been polite in front of him? When had she not wolfed down her food as if she was afraid that he would snatch it away?

Looking at the girl in front of him who was eating without any image, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

But soon my heart was filled with worry.

She had almost eaten half of the cake, but he hadn't said that sentence yet.

"I didn't expect that you would have such a moment." Liu Yue suddenly spoke in his mind as if he had come back to life.

His expression turned cold: "Get lost."

Liu Yue, however, sneered nonchalantly: "It's not like you to be indecisive."

"Oh, even if I tell her, she won't agree, right?" he laughed at himself.

"You didn't even say anything, so how do you know she wouldn't agree? That's not like you."

"..."

He also knew that this was unlike him, but he was really afraid that she would refuse.

He lowered his eyes and stopped talking to Liu Yue. Liu Yue said a few words and then disappeared.

After a long time, Chujiu had finished eating the cake. He stretched, touched his full stomach, and burped in a very ungraceful manner.

I turned my head to look at Mo Xinglan and found that he was staring blankly with his eyes lowered.

He turned around and looked at the empty plate, then he remembered that he hadn't eaten yet.

"Star……"

"Jiu'er..."

"Ah? What, what's wrong?" I always felt that he was going to say something very serious.

He opened his lips, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness and earnestness: "Shall we get married?"

"!"

Her pupils trembled, and those words kept circling in her mind, unable to be shaken off, and unwilling to be shaken off.

After a long while, she didn't respond, and his expression gradually darkened: "Don't you want to?"

"I..." Her lips trembled, but she only said one word.

This, this is too sudden. Just like when he said he liked her.

What follows is an agonizing wait.

Time passed slowly, as if a century had passed, and he already had an answer in his heart. But even so, before he got her answer, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

There is still hope as long as she doesn't answer.

But Chujiu didn't know what he was thinking. After thinking for a long time and hesitating for a long time, she looked at him seriously and said, "Xingxing, can you wait a little longer?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that his expression suddenly became lonely. She felt a little sorry and sighed, "Xingxing, now is a critical moment. It is not a good time for you and me to get married."

She thinks about it more.

Now Mo Xinglan and Mo Hengsong have torn their faces apart. And she always felt that Mo Hengsong knew that Mo Xinglan was the son of the former Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, but dared to let him out. He must have a way to deal with him, or he has enough strength to deal with the Demon Realm. In short, he did not regard him as a threat.

In that case, the Chu family in Hualing would be in even greater danger. Although she was not the original owner, she had already regarded the Chu family as important people. When she thought about the Chu family being in danger, she had no intention of doing so.

Also, the gap between humans and demons is too big. She is a human. Usually, she can feel that although everyone is respectful to her on the surface, they are actually dissatisfied and unwilling to let her stand beside Mo Xinglan. If Mo Xinglan had not always been devoted to her, she would have been inexplicably dead as soon as she entered this demon palace.
