Morning Star

Chapter 151 How did he know she would leave?

Chujiu's heart was beating fast because of his stare, and he stammered: "You, you, are staring at, me, what am I doing?"

Why did she feel like she had entered a den of wolves?

He recalled what she had asked him in the strange tiger cave and smiled slightly: "Miss Chu is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her."

She didn't react for a long time. After a long while, she remembered what she said to him when she first met him.

She glared at him and said unhappily, "Why learn sweet talk when there are other things to learn."

Did she teach him bad things? It is said that good things can't be learned, but bad things can be learned easily. It is true.

"Jiuer doesn't like to hear me praise her for her beauty?" he said aggrievedly.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

Again.

After thinking for a moment, she tapped his cool forehead with her finger and said, "You don't know how to repay a favor, but you can learn sweet talk after listening to it once."

However, before she finished her words, the grievance on his face disappeared, and he stared at her coldly.

Seeing this, Chujiu quickly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, don't be angry."

As she said this, she used her hands to smooth the hair off his face.

Mo Xinglan grabbed the hand and said calmly, "No one in this world will help someone for no reason. Not you, and not Ji Fansong. He treated my injuries because Tian Yi didn't take Yu You's seal seriously, causing Yu You to break the seal and hurt people, and I happened to be one of them. You also know that I'm not the only wounded brought to the main residence. He will save other disciples injured by Yu You, and he will save me too."

“……”Chujiu was stunned.

So this is what he thought. So he thought that no one in this world would really treat him well, only interests?

She frowned: "I don't think you are right."

Seeing his gloomy face, she quickly asked: "So, why do you think I'm nice to you?"

He didn't answer immediately after he finished speaking, but just looked at her quietly.

She secretly rejoiced, seeing that she couldn't say it. However, at this moment, Mo Xinglan said in a cold voice, "Yes, why?"

He paused and looked at her smug look: "How much of what you said in the alien tiger's cave is true? Do you think I don't know? At that time, I was just a stranger to you. The alien tigers are big, and you can see them at a glance when you are hiding behind the rocks. You are afraid of death and pain, and with your personality, you would turn around and run, but you blocked the attack for me. Why?"

Seeing her astonished expression, he didn't seem to want her answer and continued, "The original owner was pushed into the Abyss Valley. Judging from the place we passed on our way back, the place where you woke up after possessing the body was still some distance away from the Tiger Cave. How did you find it when you are a person with poor directions and will get lost even if you go back the same way?"

Chujiu was frightened when he heard this, and dared not speak out for fear that he would discover that he was guilty.

From what he said, he had already realized that she was lying? Then why did he say it now?

Wait, this is not the point now. The point is how she is going to make it go away.

So her mind raced, but she hesitated as she spoke: "That's because..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, he interrupted her coldly: "Who told you that?"

"!"

She took a deep breath and stared at him in astonishment, her heart beating rapidly with nervousness.

The more she looked at his increasingly cold eyes, especially at such a close distance, the more nervous she became.

It seems that if she doesn't give him a satisfactory explanation today, she will not be able to get through. So she thought about it for a long time, sighed helplessly and said: "I am entrusted by someone, and this is also a reward for me to live in the original owner's body. That's it."

Anyway, she didn't lie to him. From another perspective, it was true.

Mo Xinglan stared at her in a daze. He thought she would try to evade and cover up the matter, but he didn't expect her to answer him.

After a moment he thought for a moment and asked her, "Who is that person?"

"..." She didn't answer but stared at him with her expressionless face imitating his.

She had already answered his questions, but he still wanted to ask more. He was really asking for more.

Mo Xinglan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like this by her. His eyes flickered and he hesitated: "What does that person look like? Is he a man or a woman?"

Chujiu pulled a face and took a deep breath, then looked at the hand he was holding. He pulled his hand back from his grasp, turned his back to him and said unhappily, "I don't know, don't ask me."

For such a matter, answering him was already good enough, but he still asked questions. If she said more, she was afraid that she would be...

"Punishment. Lightning strikes, bloody disasters, maxed-out bad luck and other punishments. We have a one-stop service. There's nothing you can't think of that I can't do. The lightest punishment is making you stupid, the worst is losing your hands and feet. Do you need to reserve one?" Piaomiao said something emotionless suddenly as if he had come back to life.

Chujiu was startled and hugged her petite body and shuddered: "No, thank you."

"That's really a pity." Piao Miao said the word regret but no one could tell what it was regretful about.

"..." Even the system would express regret these days?

Just as Chu Jiu and Piao Miao were talking, Mo Xinglan came back to his senses from staring at her back blankly, and became aggrieved again. He endured the pain and turned sideways to face her back.

He stretched out his hands to hug her, but stopped just as he was about to touch her.

Even though I was very tired, I still wanted to see her and didn't want to fall asleep.

In a daze, he half-closed his eyes, as if mumbling to himself or saying to her: "Will you... leave?"

Chujiu's closed eyes slowly opened.

How did he know she would leave?

Leave?

Yes.

After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and found that he was lying on his side, so she also lay on her side facing him.

Looking at him with half-closed eyes, I avoided his question and asked, "Is it okay for you to sleep like this?"

He was originally happy to see her turn around and face him, but she avoided answering his questions, and he felt disappointed.

"Will you leave?"

He asked again with a tired look in his eyes.

Chujiu's eyes flickered, and he forced out a helpless smile: "Where am I going? Leave? Okay, don't think too much about it."

Now she couldn't leave. It wasn't considered cheating him, was it?

Mo Xinglan couldn't feel happy after hearing this, because he knew she was lying to him again.

That's all. One day he would make her stay willingly. If not, then he could only...

Chujiu's body suddenly trembled, and her back felt a little cold. She looked at Mo Xinglan with a puzzled look, but saw him blinking at her innocently.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

At this time, Mo Xinglan suddenly said: "Jiuer..."

"Ok?"

"It hurts." He said aggrievedly.

She took a deep breath. Even though she knew he did it on purpose, she still couldn't help but worry: "What should I do then?"

After all, he was really in pain.
