Morning Star

Chapter 264 I'm waiting for you to prove it to me

Mo Xinglan: “!!”

He stared at her in shock.

He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

But the four words "I like you" kept echoing in his mind.

Time passed by, but he didn't take the gardenia she handed to him.

The shock in my heart gradually subsided as I thought of something.

Seeing her serious face, he believed her for a while, but after that period of time, what he remembered was that she had lied to him time and time again.

She once said that she was not afraid of him, but she always looked afraid of him; she once said again and again that she would not leave him, but although she said so, she was thinking about leaving him all the time in her heart; she once said that she liked him, but she completely forgot about it the next day; she once said that she wanted him to live for her, but she swung the Lingyun Whip at him without any hesitation.

He lowered his eyes, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his pale lips. When he raised his eyes, they were full of teasing, and he chuckled as if he had heard a very funny joke. His thin shoulders also trembled.

After laughing for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Do you like me? Or do you like to see me being fooled by you like a fool? Do you think I will still believe you?"

"!"

Chujiu, who was a little tired of holding the flowers, had her pupils trembled when she saw and heard his expression and words again.

My heart ached so much that even my hand holding the flowers was shaking unsteadily.

He didn't believe her anymore.

He didn't believe her anymore.

What to do? He didn't believe her anymore.

Has she lied to him too many times, so he doesn't believe what she says?

But this time it's real.

Her face became paler and paler, and she slowly lowered her head with trembling lips. The flower in her hand seemed to become extremely heavy in an instant, making her unable to hold it steadily, and her hand gradually fell down.

A tear finally fell from her stunned eyes.

Then one drop after another.

But she never cried loudly like she did before, but just remained silent, without any sound.

If she hadn't lowered her head, if a few tears hadn't fallen and wet her skirt, you wouldn't have noticed that she was crying.

When Mo Xinglan saw this, his expression froze, and as tears fell, his heart became more and more panicked.

Did he make a mistake?

Didn't I lie to him this time?

Or is it that she acted too well?

But he had never seen her like this before, she was clearly crying but there was no sound.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He supported himself on the cushion with one hand and slowly leaned towards her, extending his other hand to touch her cheek.

"you……"

"Feel sorry."

Just when he was about to touch her, Chujiu interrupted him, raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. But her eyes were not as surprised as before, but full of determination.

His raised hand froze, and he could neither move forward nor backward.

After pausing for a moment in this awkward position, he slowly put his hand down.

But just as I let go a little, I was held by a soft hand.

His eyelashes trembled slightly and he stared at her blankly.

Chujiu leaned forward, gently pulled his hand and placed it on her cheek, rubbed her little face against his palm, raised her eyes and looked at him seriously: "I didn't lie to you this time."

"I know that I have lied to you many times before, which made you not dare to trust me easily. It was my fault. It is normal that you don't believe what I say now."

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, smiling gently: "Whether you believe it or not, I want to tell you that I like you, not suddenly. It is unconsciously that my eyes are always attracted to you; it is unconsciously that I will subconsciously worry about you and care about you; it is unconsciously that my mood will change with every move of yours."

"..." He listened quietly in a daze, allowing her to grab his hand and put it on her face.

She seemed to recall: "In fact, I have liked you for a long time, when I started to avoid you, when I deceived myself with countless lies and excuses. It was only later when you were brought to the inn by Liu Yue, and when I saw you unconscious, that I really understood that I had liked you for a long time."

"But I dare not tell you. Because I am afraid that if I tell you, I will be inseparable from you and unable to return home."

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then why are you telling me now? Don't you want to go back to your home?"

He didn't believe it.

Chujiu smiled softly: "I told you because I don't want to suppress my love for you anymore."

"As for going home. I do want to go home, but I also want you."

"!"

When he heard the last sentence, his eyes were shocked. His heartbeat quickened a little and his ears felt a little hot.

How could she say it so bluntly?

Chujiu saw his expression, but didn't point it out. She continued, "There is more than one way to go home. I want to take you with me, if you are willing."

He was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure: "What if I don't want to?"

Is she going to abandon him?

"If you don't want to, I will think of other ways, find a way to travel freely between the two worlds. Although it is unrealistic, even fantasy, but all miracles start from fantasy." She looked determined.

If she had just made her own guess, she wouldn't have dared to say that, but Piao Miao avoided the topic, which gave her confidence.

Mo Xinglan fell silent after hearing her words.

He fixed his eyes on the hand she was holding on the back of his.

There was still gauze wrapped around her palm, with blood seeping out, but she didn't let go of his hand as if she didn't feel any pain.

If it were in the past, she would have dared not to move and cried out in pain.

He moved the hand that was caressing the girl's face.

The girl's cheeks were soft and warm.

He shifted his gaze to the hideous wound again, and a hint of coldness flashed across his black eyes.

But in her mind she recalled what she had said to the Ivy Witch.

She told the Ivy Witch not to touch him; she said he was hers.

He hesitated for a while, and finally opened his lips, his hoarse voice was uncertain: "This time, you really didn't lie to me?"

If she dared to lie to him again, he wouldn't mind pulling her soul out and imprisoning her forever.

She could hate him or dislike him, it didn't matter as long as she couldn't leave.

Chujiu was not surprised to hear his question. She smiled and gently rubbed his palm: "If you haven't decided whether to believe me or not, then wait for me to prove to you that what I said to you today, 'I won't leave you' and 'I like you', is true, okay?"

Give her some time, and she'll prove to him that he can trust her this time and in the future.

Mo Xinglan was a little surprised. He thought she would say that she did not lie to him and asked him to believe her, but he did not expect that she wanted to prove it to him.

This answer is far more convincing than if she had just said it was true this time.

His cold eyes finally showed some warmth: "Okay, I'll wait for you to prove it to me."

How will she prove it?

After hearing this, the girl's watery eyes lit up, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and she rubbed his palm happily again.

This is a good beginning.
