Morning Star

Chapter 142 Everyone is making progress, but she is just slacking off

When Ah Zao saw her, he was stunned for a while, thinking that he had mistaken her for someone else. It was not until he saw Chujiu take the tray from his hand that he came to his senses. He ran away with a red face, leaving Chujiu standing at the door with the food in his hand and a puzzled look on his face.

Chujiu took a deep breath and came to Mo Xinglan's door. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but put it down before he could knock.

She felt guilty when she remembered that she had peeped into Mo Xinglan's past without his consent.

And how would she face him later?

While he was still hesitating, he heard the boy's pleasant voice coming from inside the house: "Come in."

The voice sounded as if it had been waiting inside for a long time, and it was made only when it noticed that the person outside was standing there and not going in.

Chujiu paused, opened the door and walked in. He looked past Mo Xinglan who was sitting on the bed and put the food on the table.

A hint of confusion flashed across Mo Xinglan's face when he saw her.

Is she crying?

But she is different today than usual. Today she seems... better looking.

It seemed like this was the first time he had seen her with her hair down.

He felt his cheeks getting hot at the thought and he unconsciously turned his eyes away from her.

But thinking of her red eyes, he couldn't help but ask: "You... cried?"

Chujiu paused as he put down his bowl and chopsticks, and glanced at him: "You know it, but you still ask? Don't you want to save face?"

Although her tone was filled with annoyance, she actually wanted to alleviate the discomfort in her heart in this way.

Mo Xinglan was speechless after her question.

After a while he asked again: "Are you having a nightmare again?"

Otherwise he couldn't imagine why she was crying.

Last time, she had a nightmare and cried. But she was really too timid, and now she looked more like a little rabbit.

Sad little bunny.

While he was thinking, Chujiu sighed and said in annoyance: "Mo Xinglan, could you not be so smart?"

Mo Xinglan: “…”

Can you blame him?

He thought for a moment and said innocently, "What can I do with my natural talent?"

Chujiu glared at him: "..."

Why did she find that his words were becoming more and more irritating?

Mo Xinglan smiled after receiving her gaze, and then the topic returned to normal: "So what did you dream about?"

Chujiu was silent and handed him the bowl and chopsticks.

Mo Xinglan lowered his eyes and looked at the bowl and chopsticks handed to him, lost in thought. Although he had eaten breakfast with his own bowl when she was not around these two days, she fed him whenever she was around. Why did she suddenly let him eat with his own bowl today?

He still likes her feeding...

Thinking of this, his cheeks turned slightly red, and he turned his head away unnaturally and whispered, "My hand hurts."

After saying that, he waited for a while and glanced sideways to observe her expression.

Chujiu sighed after seeing it and picked up the spoon to scoop a spoonful of porridge: "Ha."

A hint of success flashed across his eyes, and he turned his head and lowered it to hold the porridge in the spoon in his mouth.

The two of them fed each other quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, Chujiu finally fed Mo Xinglan the meal. She also started to eat from her own bowl.

As for Mo Xinglan's previous question about what Chujiu had dreamed about, it just ended like that.

……

Such a big incident happened in the secret realm, and many disciples were killed or injured. The master of the palace was both troubled and blamed himself for this. But the only thing he could do was to try his best to treat the disciples injured by Yu You, and this would require some hard work from Ji Fansong.

When the secret realm was first opened, many people came in, but later Yu You killed only half of them. Many people were injured, and it was rare that there were so few people in the secret realm.

This is a good thing for those who are looking for rare treasures. Most of the people who are lucky enough to survive in the secret realm during this period are traveling around to gain experience and harvest treasures crazily.

But the reason why the secret realm is a secret realm is that although it has many natural treasures, it also has many unknown dangers. Most people travel together, and each person gets the natural treasures based on his own ability.

Chu Furong and Gao Yashan were naturally the ones who had the smoothest journey among these people because Zhuohua followed them all the way. However, they would not easily let Zhuohua take action when they encountered danger, after all, they were here to gain experience.

These days, the two of them rarely went to the main residence of the secret realm. They only took back the spiritual medicine that might help Mo Xinglan's injury occasionally. The rest of the time, they even slept outside.

Since coming to Piaomiao Domain, Chu Furong and Gao Yashan have often gone out together and have formed a lot of tacit understanding. Sometimes they can tell what the other wants to say with just a glance.

My cultivation and experience have also improved a lot.

Chujiu was happy for them when he saw that they had finally reconciled and were getting better than before.

But at the same time, she also vaguely felt that their cultivation seemed to have improved a lot compared to before. It felt like it would take her a long time to catch up. She immediately felt bad.

Everyone else is making progress, but she is just slacking off.

Moreover, she had finally come to such a mysterious place, but before she could fully experience the so-called training, she encountered all kinds of things, which made her feel that she had no experience at all.

So this time when Chu Furong and the others came back, she also wanted to go out with them to train for a few days. So she hesitated for a long time and found Mo Xinglan to tell him about it.

After hearing this, Mo Xinglan was stunned for a long time and did not answer.

Chujiu didn't get a response from him, so he hurried to explain, fearing that he might think too much: "Look, I finally came to this so-called secret realm, I can't just stay in this main residence and eat and drink for free. You're fine, because you were seriously injured in killing Yu You, it's normal for you to stay here to recuperate. But I'm different, my injuries have all healed but I don't have anything to do, I sleep at night and wake up at noon, and I have to eat and drink for free. I haven't made any contribution, it's embarrassing to tell others."

After listening to her talk, Mo Xinglan raised his eyes and looked at her calmly. After a long while, he lowered his eyelashes and said calmly, "...I know."

"So, you, you agree?" She was not sure, because he didn't look like he agreed, but when he said that, she felt a little bit of luck.

"Well, let's go."

He never looked up at her again. After he finished speaking, he lay down on the bed sideways and gently closed his eyes. He looked like he was tired.

"..."

Chujiu stood there and looked at him for a long time before he put away the bowl, carried it out of the room, and gently closed the door.

He seemed angry again and looked quite tired.

When did he sit up?

Didn't Brother Ji say that he should lie in bed? Why does he always like to sit up? Does this really have no effect on his injury?

After Chujiu left, Mo Xinglan slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the ceiling expressionlessly, with only confusion and an occasional hint of coldness in his eyes.

The next day, Chujiu got up early, changed into clothes that were convenient for walking, and combed her hair into a high ponytail on her head.

It took her a long time to learn how to tie a high ponytail with a hairband from Mo Xinglan.
