Chapter 227 I Have Fallen in Love with Him Unknowingly

It was already late outside, and Chu Furong and the other two had already returned. When they boiled some medicine and brought it to Chu Jiu, they discovered that Mo Xinglan was unconscious.

Chujiu thought that he naturally couldn't tell them about his meeting with Wu Li, so he had to tell them something half true and half false.

After drinking the medicine, he stayed beside Mo Xinglan to guard him.

Chu Furong sighed helplessly as she left the room before closing the door and leaving the two of them alone.

Chujiu looked at Mo Xinglan who was lying quietly and felt confused.

In her mind, she recalled everything that had happened between her and Mo Xinglan over the past few days, as well as all the things Mo Xinglan had done for her in secret.

In fact, she should have discovered long ago that his temperament was extremely changeable, even to the point of being twisted.

The first time she clearly felt the fear and confusion he brought to her was when her favorability dropped after the psychedelic dream ended. When Zhuohua hugged her, he got angry and beat her up, and later almost killed her.

The second time was when he came back from being hurt by Li Lingling. He was afraid that she would leave, so he wanted to sign a soul-locking contract with her, but she refused. That time, his emotions obviously became extreme.

And because Li Lingling caused her to get hurt, she turned Li Lingling into a lunatic.

The challenge between Mo Yun and her was a formal one, which was clearly agreed upon by both parties. However, he not only destroyed Mo Yun's cultivation afterwards, but also poisoned her.

The third time she saw with her own eyes was when he wanted to kill Xiao Xiao. Why?

Because he knew who Xiao Xiao was, she had told him before.

Xiao Xiao made him feel more threatened than anyone else, so he decided to kill Xiao Xiao.

There was also the time when he forced her to tell him the purpose of approaching him and she was punished by the system. His unpredictable and extreme expression at that time made her feel cold when she thought about it now.

From the memory of his dream, he was a child, no, he should be a child when his mother was normal. He grew up under the protection of his mother like an ordinary child. Although his daily life was a little harder than other children, he still maintained the innocence and liveliness of a child of a few years old.

If she hadn't read his past fragmentary memories, who would have thought that this extremely cruel boy was once a lively and lovely child?

He is wary of everyone and feels uneasy once someone gets close to him. He wants to eliminate the source of this uneasiness.

And it was his experiences that made him what he is.

Each of those things tortures the person's body and mind, and is more cruel than any other torture.

If it were someone like her who had lived in a comfort zone since childhood, just encountering one of these things would probably make her collapse.

Is he still alive because of hatred? It must be very painful, right?

How could such an experience make him think like an ordinary person? He was already the greatest gift to her by not killing her in the beginning.

She sighed at the thought, the title she gave him, "black-hearted monster", really came true.

It is said that such extreme people can be liked in novels, but if you meet them in real life, you should run as far as you can. However, she could not run, and could not leave.

How big a blow would it be to him if she left?

He is so fragile, how much more of a blow can he withstand?

Her brows gradually softened, she raised her hand and gently stroked his pale face, and smiled bitterly: "Xingxing, you have to wake up soon, otherwise I will have to leave you."

After a moment of silence, with a hint of worry on his face, he gently opened his lips and said, "Xingxing, I don't want to either..."

Don't want to leave...

Don't want to leave?

Why wouldn't she want to leave?

If I don't leave, I won't be able to go home and I will never see my parents and Xiao Shi again.

Isn't the original purpose to go home?

but……

Her eyes trembled slightly.

Since when did she become inseparable from him? Since when did she start to hate the system's repeated messages about her favorability increasing? Since when did she feel flustered and sad when she saw him feeling uncomfortable or unhappy? Since when did she start to be afraid of him getting angry and like to stick to him? Why did she always avoid him later?

That night, Xiao Xiao's words rang in my ears.

"So, do you like Mo Xinglan?"

Does she like Mo Xinglan?

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm just asking."

Why is she in such a hurry?

"Then why were you in such a hurry to find him that day? And you left me behind."

Is it really because of him that he feels guilty because of his injury?

"Then why haven't you visited him these days? Aren't you worried about him?"

How can she not worry? She worries every day, but she just doesn't dare to go.

"I have another question. Why didn't you answer what Mo Xinglan asked you that day?"

What was his problem that day?

Yes, what he asked was: "Chujiu, what am I in your eyes? Do you have a place for me in your heart?"

What is it? Is there a place?

"Why, you can't answer?"

because...because...

"Because, I have actually fallen in love with him without realizing it."

That's why she couldn't answer. That's why she always avoided discussing love with Mo Xinglan. She was afraid that she would be unable to leave him after falling in love with him. She was afraid that she would not be able to return home after falling in love with him.

But what can she do? When she figured it out, why was she so sad? She wanted to go home, she really wanted to go home.

She missed her parents, Chu Xiaoshi, Uncle Xiao, and Aunt Xiao...

She withdrew her hand and grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly, at a loss.

Is this what it feels like to like someone?

How much she wanted to tell him that she liked him, but how could it be so easy?

On one side are her family, and on the other side is the person she loves. How can she choose?

Suddenly I felt that I was so naive in the past. Every time I saw the heroine or hero in a dilemma, I would always laugh at and look down on them. What's so simple? Why not just choose to be with the person you like?

But now that I have encountered it, I realize how difficult it is.

You can’t understand the feeling if you haven’t experienced it, and you have no right to judge other people’s feelings.

She finally understood what Xiao Xiao meant when he said that she would soon understand her feelings.

However, she can only hide this feeling in her heart, and she knows it herself.

Chujiu raised his eyes and his gaze gradually fell on his bloodless lips. After thinking for a moment, he took out a soul-restoring pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

She didn't have the Soul Gathering Pill, and she hadn't asked him for it before. And the Soul Gathering Pill was at least a sixth-grade pill, so how could she just ask for it? The best healing pill she had was the Soul Resurrection Pill, but she didn't know if it would work.

She stood up and bent over to get closer to him, slowly placing her lips on his. She gently pried his lips apart with the tip of her tongue, then fed the pill in her mouth into his mouth and let him swallow it.

The sweet taste of his blood still lingered in his mouth.

The tip of her tongue licked his lips gently and lingeringly, making them moist.

Her cheeks were flushed when she left. Even though she knew he was unconscious and unaware of what was happening, her heart was still beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.
