Chapter 39 Not Going Back?
"He likes me? Impossible, absolutely impossible! He clearly likes..." Lu Jinyan suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence. She didn't know if the system knew about her transmigration into the book. If it didn't, then she'd better not say it.
"What do you like?" The system asked, puzzled. Why did this person only say half of what they meant?
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's nothing, anyway, it's impossible!" Lu Jinyan coughed awkwardly twice. Others might not know, but how could she not know? Mo Xuan clearly liked the innocent and pure female lead.
How could someone who's madly in love possibly like her? But speaking of the innocent, scheming female lead, if she stole her thunder, wouldn't that change the plot?
If the plot is changed, will Mo Xuan still be able to meet the seemingly innocent but actually naive female lead? Will they still be able to fall in love?
For some reason, the thought that the person Mo Xuan would be holding in his arms in the future would make her feel a little choked up.
Mo Xuan held Lu Jinyan in his arms for a long time, and Lu Jinyan obediently leaned against him and let him hold her, wondering if she would gain a little more favorability later.
A gust of cold wind blew, causing Lu Jinyan to shiver involuntarily, at which point Mo Xuan released her. Lu Jinyan had been dressed rather lightly when she came out, as she needed to do chores and wearing too many layers would have made movement difficult.
Later, because she was preoccupied with how to keep Mo Xuan, she didn't have time to put on more clothes. Now, a cold wind blew by, and she felt chilly.
"Alright, I already said I'm not leaving, why are you still crying? Stop crying, it won't look good if you keep crying. The weather is so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?" Mo Xuan nagged affectionately as he took off his outer robe and draped it over Lu Jinyan's shoulders.
Lu Jinyan was completely dumbfounded. He actually said so much at once! And what was with that doting tone?
Could it be that, as the system said, he actually likes me?
"I...I just forgot, it's okay!" Lu Jinyan stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.
The main reason was what the system said—that it liked her—that made Lu Jinyan blush for no reason.
"Alright, let's go back!" Mo Xuan affectionately ruffled Lu Jinyan's hair, then took her hand and walked back.
Mo Xuan's hands were large and warm, holding Lu Jinyan's small hand firmly in his palm. This action inexplicably made Lu Jinyan's heart skip a beat.
Having lived two lifetimes, this is the first time I've ever been held in a boy's hand. So this is what it feels like to hold hands!
Suddenly, she began to believe what the system had said, and even hoped it was true. If he really liked her, how wonderful that would be.
Putting everything else aside, just his looks and height alone are enough to win him over!
To be honest, she didn't dislike Mo Xuan. The main reason she hadn't thought about this before was that she always believed Mo Xuan liked the female lead, and she would never be the third sister.
But now that I think about it carefully, Mo Xuan doesn't know the white lotus heroine yet, and he hasn't fallen in love with her. So I'm not the third sister, and I'm not stealing someone else's love. If that's the case, then why can't it be her?
Lu Jinyan didn't notice that Mo Xuan's lips were constantly turned up, and that the smile was getting wider and wider.
The two walked hand in hand slowly back to the city. Neither of them spoke a word along the way, creating a beautiful and ambiguous atmosphere.
Midway through, Mo Xuan increased her favorability score, which made Lu Jinyan extremely happy.
The progress bar jumped directly to 88%, and she found that she didn't seem to dislike Mo Xuan's touch. Did that mean that she actually liked him?
She's never been in a relationship and doesn't know what it feels like to like someone, but she doesn't dislike them. Does that mean she likes them a little bit?
Mo Xuan was thinking about whether his parents would be very sad and angry if he didn't go back, and whether those who chose to follow him would be very disappointed if he didn't go back.
But he really didn't want to leave her. Seeing her cry felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart.
Even the longest road has an end. By the time the two of them realized what was happening, they had arrived at their doorstep. Lu Jinyan's first reaction was to pull her hand back and return the clothes to Mo Xuan.
The reaction was like someone secretly dating someone behind their parents' backs, afraid of being discovered.
"Well, well, now that we're home, I'll go in first!" Lu Jinyan said, and without waiting for Mo Xuan's reaction, she went straight into the courtyard. Chu Chu, who was chatting with Chu Li, rushed to greet her when she saw her return.
"Yanyan, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back? What happened to your eyes? They're so red and swollen. Did you cry? Who bullied you? I'm going to beat them up!"
Seeing Lu Jinyan's red and swollen eyes, Chu Chu angrily rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go out and fight.
"Hey, hey, hey! Chuchu, come back! I'm fine. Nobody bullied me. I just ate too much and went for a walk, and then I accidentally got sand in my eyes. I'm okay, I'm fine, don't get agitated!" Lu Jinyan quickly pulled Chuchu, who was rolling up her sleeves, afraid that she would really rush out.
"Really?" Chu Chu asked, half believing and half doubting.
"Really, of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you!" Lu Jinyan insisted, "It's absolutely true, more real than pearls!"
Seeing how certain she was, Chu Chu stopped insisting on going out to fight and instead pulled her inside to apply hot water to her eyes, otherwise they would swell up even more.
Mo Xuan stood outside the door, staring blankly at his empty hand. A little warmth still lingered on his hand. The moment Lu Jinyan let go of his hand, he felt as if his heart had gone empty for a moment.
Before he could think about it, Chu Li appeared beside him: "Master, where have you been? By the way, when are we setting off?"
"I won't be going back for now!" Mo Xuan said to Chu Li as he put on his outer robe.
"What? You're not going back? Master, that's not what you said just now. How come you changed your mind after going out for a while? What happened?!" Chu Li looked incredulous.
In the morning, while we were in the owner's room, the owner said he would rush back as soon as possible. How come he changed his mind after just one lunch break?
"It's nothing, it's just that my injury hasn't fully healed yet, and I need to rest for a few more days, so there's no rush to go back for now!" After saying that, Mo Xuan ignored the stunned Chu Li and went straight inside.
Chu Li was left standing there alone, looking completely incredulous!
