Morning Star

Chapter 149: I like you

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

But it was dark all around and he was the only one there.

She's not here! Has she really left?

Where has she gone?

In a trance, I could no longer tell whether it was a dream or reality.

What she had just said occupied his entire mind.

He frantically forced himself to sit up, supported his dizzy head, and slowly got out of bed.

He wanted to go find her, he wanted to see her as soon as possible.

He got out of bed in a daze, and after taking two steps he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

The scene in front of him was blurry and didn't look real at all. It was like he was still in a dream, but the severe pain in his body made him feel that this was the real world.

He supported himself with his arms on the cold ground and stretched forward with difficulty.

"Jiuer...Jiu...er..." I only remembered calling her in a daze.

He was obviously shouting as loud as he could, but his voice was still very soft, so soft that he himself couldn't hear it.

Fortunately, there was a response.

Chujiu opened the door and walked in, and with a wave of his hand, the glass lamp in the room lit up.

He quickly came to his side and shouted anxiously, "Mo Xinglan! How are you?"

She was sleeping soundly in her room, but woke up somehow. After waking up, she remembered that his wound had been reopened by her, who was possessed by the demon during the day. She went to his room out of concern for him.

However, as soon as I opened the door, I heard his faint cry, and then I saw him trembling and lying on the ground. This is how this scene happened.

She had come with the idea of ​​just taking a look and leaving, so she only wore a nightgown.

It was already a bit chilly, and now a cool breeze blew in from outside the door, making her shiver.

He closed the door with his backhand, and the situation eased a little.

He turned around and carefully helped him sit up from the ground.

Just when I was halfway there, I heard him groan.

She thought she was hallucinating, so she paused and ignored it and continued to help him up.

"Well……"

"?!" Now she was sure the source of the voice was Mo Xinglan.

He frowned, half-opened his eyes and gasped, looking very painful.

She rested his head on her shoulder and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Jiu...er...Jiu'er..." He shouted with all his might, but his voice was still hoarse and weak.

Chujiu was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses after a few breaths: "I'm here, I'm here. Are you feeling unwell?"

Her answer was like a reassurance, calming his panic.

But just as he calmed down, he was struck by severe pain again. He trembled and murmured in a daze: "It hurts... um..."

“Ugh…it hurts…it hurts…it hurts so much…”

“?!” Chujiu couldn’t believe it.

Is this a knife raining down from the sky? The evil-hearted evildoer actually cried out in pain!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

She reached out and touched his forehead.

My heart trembled instantly.

So hot!

He has a fever!

No wonder he was crying out in pain, it turned out he was confused because of the fever. If this continues, will he become stupid? He needs to take antipyretic medicine.

She held Mo Xinglan with one hand, and with the other hand she hurriedly took out a fever-reducing pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Xingxing, eat this and the pain will go away." She coaxed softly in his ear.

Then she took out a soul-restoring pill he had given her before and stuffed it into his mouth. She didn't know if it would work, but she only remembered that he had told her that the soul-restoring pill could stabilize injuries, so she stuffed it into his mouth without thinking.

Not long after I fed him the pill, I heard him mutter, "Jiu'er...Jiu'er..."

She was stunned for a moment, then replied softly, "I'm here."

Hearing the answer, he slowly opened his eyes, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Jiuer..."

"I'm here."

"Jiu'er..."

"Yeah, I'm here. It's me."

"...I like...you..."

"W-what?!" Was she hallucinating?

"...I like...you...I like you, I like Jiuer, I like...Jiuer..." As if he was afraid that she couldn't hear what he said, he repeated it over and over again, speaking with all his strength.

Listening to his confession over and over again, Chujiu's mind went blank and he felt like he was dreaming.

"Mo Xinglan's favorability is 80, and you can use the stealth escape technique once."

She came back to her senses only after hearing Piaomiao's reminder.

With a red face, she looked down at him at a loss, and stammered, "You, you, you know, are you, are you saying, what?"

He tilted his head, looked at her very seriously and said, "I like you."

There was expectation in his eyes.

Chujiu still didn't react.

She never expected that one day she would hear the black-hearted monster cry out in pain, and she never expected that on this day the black-hearted monster would say in all seriousness that he loved her.

When she thought that the man who said he liked her was a black-hearted monster, she felt a little panicked, a little unbelievable, and a little nervous.

"I...I, you, you..."

He hesitated for a long time without uttering a word.

She didn't know how to answer him, but she knew she absolutely couldn't refuse at this time.

But she didn't know what kind of feelings she had for him, and she couldn't give him a clear answer. She also didn't like lying to him about her feelings.

After thinking for a while, she looked at him again to confirm: "Do you... know what you are talking about?"

Are you sure it's not burnt?

The look in his eyes when he looked at her was no longer blurry, but extremely clear and bright: "I know. Chujiu, I like you."

“……”Chujiu felt his heart tremble.

Seeing his sure look, she felt a little flustered and didn't know how to respond. But she knew she didn't want to hurt him.

She didn't expect Mo Xinglan to say he liked her at this time. No, she never even thought from the beginning to the end that Mo Xinglan would say he liked her one day. And she never thought about her feelings for him. Her purpose from the beginning was...

Use him, use his feelings...

And it’s all about going home.

It turned out that she was no different from Mo Hengsong and the others, and she was even more extreme.

But she just wanted to go home. In that world, she still had her parents and Chu Xiaoshi, as well as Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao, friends, and classmates...

That world is where she grew up, and she should belong to that world. Yes, she has only been in this world for a few months, how can she compare with that world?

She should agree to him so that she can go home soon.

Thinking of this, she opened her lips, but before she could say the words of agreement, she saw the unconcealable expectation in her autumnal eyes.

At this moment she felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife and quickly turned her head away.

She shouldn't have thought that.

"hug……"

"Jiu'er..."

She had just uttered one word of apology when Mo Xinglan interrupted her quietly.

Mo Xinglan knew what she was going to say. When he said the three words "I like her", he had already expected that she would refuse. But when the time really came, he couldn't accept it.

Chujiu's voice was choked in his throat, and his body was stiff and he stared at the ground motionlessly.

Mo Xinglan kept looking at her and took in her complete expression.

He looked at her for a while, then lowered his eyes and said as if talking to himself: "Can't you... lie to me once?"

Even if it's fake, he's willing to listen.
