Chapter 38 Is there any possibility that he likes you?
"I, I didn't cry, I just..." Lu Jinyan rubbed her eyes, trying to explain that she hadn't cried, that she had just gotten sand in her eyes.
Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled into a warm embrace. The sudden action startled Lu Jinyan. What was going on?
"If you have any grievances, you can tell me. I can help you and protect you. Why are you hiding here crying all by yourself?" Mo Xuan felt a pang of heartache and put his arm around Lu Jinyan's waist, pulling her into his embrace.
He gently patted her back with one hand, softened his tone, and coaxed her softly.
Lu Jinyan was completely dumbfounded when she was inexplicably pulled into someone's arms. What was going on? Why was Mo Xuan acting crazy?
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability: 83!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully increased the strategy progress to 83%. Reward: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, and a Cultivation Pill..."
"Stop, system, forget about those rewards for now, let's save our host first. What's going on with Mo Xuan?"
Lu Jinyan was held in Mo Xuan's arms and unable to move, but suddenly heard the system announce that her favorability rating had increased again.
"Hey host, don't worry about the situation right now. That's not the point. You should think of a way to keep Mo Xuan here." The system was utterly exasperated with its host.
"Huh? But..." Lu Jinyan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the system.
"Don't be so 'but', old man. Look, he thought you were crying, so he came to comfort you. It proves that he still cares about you to some extent. If you don't take advantage of this good atmosphere and say something while the iron is hot, you'll regret it when he leaves!"
The system looked at me with obvious disappointment and frustration, clearly very anxious.
"Is that so?" Lu Jinyan was still a little skeptical, but the system had already ignored her.
"Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll handle it," Mo Xuan coaxed softly.
"I, I'm fine. By the way, is Chu Li here to take you home?" Lu Jinyan asked in a muffled voice while rubbing the sand in her eyes.
"Yes! He is my personal bodyguard." Mo Xuan did not hide anything.
"Then, when are you leaving?" Lu Jinyan buried her face in Mo Xuan's chest and simply closed her eyes. This damn sand, no matter how much she rubbed it, she couldn't get it out. It was so annoying, and her eyes hurt so much!
The more I rubbed it, the more it hurt, and the tears streamed down my face even more.
Mo Xuan originally wanted to answer that it would be in the next two days, but suddenly he felt a warm sensation in his chest. He was shocked. It was her tears, which soaked through his clothes and wet his chest. In that instant, he felt the area wet with tears was burning hot.
It was so hot that his breathing quickened. Was that why she was crying? Was she so sad because she couldn't bear to leave him?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Mo Xuan's mind, but he dared not ask.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Jinyan waited for a long time but didn't get a reply from Mo Xuan. She sniffed and lifted her head from Mo Xuan's arms.
Lu Jinyan looked up at Mo Xuan, who was frowning and silent. Mo Xuan also looked down at her. At this moment, Lu Jinyan's eyes were as red as a little rabbit's, and tears were flowing uncontrollably. It wasn't on her own; she really couldn't stop them because it hurt!
"Do you want me to leave?" Looking at Lu Jinyan's appearance, Mo Xuan blurted out a question.
"I don't want to!" Lu Jinyan shook her head. She really didn't want to, shouting in her heart, because if you leave, I won't be able to complete my mission!
But what did Mo Xuan mean by this question? Did he mean that if she didn't want him to leave, he wouldn't leave?
"Okay, then I won't leave!" Mo Xuan didn't know why he felt this way, but he knew for sure that he didn't want to see her sad or cry.
"Huh? Really?" Lu Jinyan was so surprised that she forgot to wipe away her tears. She was racking her brains to figure out how to use this beautiful misunderstanding to make Mo Xuan stay a few more days. How could he suddenly say that he was not leaving?
"Yes, really!" Mo Xuan nodded, then reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pulled her back into his arms.
Feeling the warmth of the person in his arms, Mo Xuan's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. This feeling was truly wonderful; in this moment of holding her, he felt as if nothing else mattered.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability: 84!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability: 85!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability: 86!"
"bite...."
A series of system announcements startled Lu Jinyan, who was still in a daze. She had already stepped back a little from Mo Xuan's embrace, but he suddenly pulled her back and hugged her again. She was completely confused.
Now, she's inexplicably gained three points of favorability, which makes her even more confused. What does Mo Xuan mean by this?
A hug will increase affection level? Does that mean hugging all night will win me over?
"System, system, are you still there?"
"Host, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be here for the next few hundred years!" The system checked the favorability rating, distributed rewards to Lu Jinyan, and answered her in a spare moment.
"...What's wrong with you? Did you eat explosives? Why are you so fierce!" Lu Jinyan was speechless after being confronted by the system.
"No, I'm in a great mood. Look, my dislike rating has increased by three points!"
"System, what's wrong with Mo Xuan today? He suddenly rushed over and hugged me, asked some strange questions, and then said he wasn't leaving, and even increased my favorability!" Lu Jinyan really couldn't understand it.
Mo Xuan was acting very strangely today. Although his attitude towards her had been strange before, apart from the day he regained his human form and there was some physical contact between them, they had always treated each other with respect.
Most of the time, Mo Xuan was alone and rarely spoke to her. Why was he like this today...?
But to be honest, it was strangely warm in Mo Xuan's arms.
Moreover, he had a unique scent that smelled very pleasant, and Lu Jinyan unconsciously rubbed against his chest.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability: 87!"
"Wow, it increases just by rubbing against it? Does that mean I have to rub against it a few more times?" Lu Jinyan was startled by the sudden announcement.
The system says it can't bear to look! It's absolutely unbearable to look at!
"Host, is there any possibility that Mo Xuan likes you?" The system couldn't stand it anymore; it had never seen anyone so slow to react!
