The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she slowly turned her head.

I saw that familiar figure standing in the middle of the courtyard.

He looked at her calmly as usual, but the emotions in his blood-red eyes were surging in a complex and mixed manner.

She seemed to understand the deep concern, sad worry, uneasy uneasiness, fear and anxiety in his eyes...

When Ji Ran suddenly paused in the corridor of the research building, Qi Mu had a premonition that she had guessed some of the truth.

Until I heard the owner's son, who seemed to appear by fate, say "the last tenant several years ago"

Qi Mu accepted the reality calmly.

Accept the reality that she discovered his true face...

Accept the reality that these two days of short-lived happiness will end.

So from the moment she returned home and opened the door of his house, he did not stop her, but allowed her to verify the truth, unwilling to deceive her again.

But seeing her distressed look after confirming the truth, his inner torment was ten thousand times worse than hers. He felt so distressed that it was as if a pile of thorny rust was madly crushing back and forth in his chest.

He was so heartbroken that he almost exploded.

But he could only endure it as much as possible, not daring to step forward and show concern as usual.

Because she knew that he was not a human...

He was afraid that she would be afraid of him...

What was even more frightening was seeing the look in her eyes that showed fear of him.

He didn't dare to face her and saw in her eyes that she hated him.

Just imagining it, he felt as if he were pierced by thousands of arrows and would rather die than live.

But he still stood here at this moment, and did not escape when she turned around.

He really couldn't be so cowardly as to hide away and leave her alone to be sad.

Maybe he just wanted to let her know that if she was afraid of him, he would stay away from her and would not get close to her.

But as long as she looked back, he was there.

He was always behind her.

Now, what should he do?

He couldn't take a step back, and he didn't have the courage to take a step forward.

After hesitating for a long time, Qi Mu decided to leave temporarily, leaving her alone with the space to digest all this.

He turned around seemingly calmly, but his heart was like a high-rise building that had been blown up, collapsing in despair at that moment.

He walked out with difficulty, and every step was like walking through thorns, his flesh and blood were blurred and he was stuck in the mud.

But the next second, the girl behind him ran towards him without hesitation, stretched out her slender and warm little hands and tightly clasped his waist from behind.

"Don't go..."

At the same time, a girl's slightly panting voice of pleading could be heard from behind, which sounded a little sobbing and hoarse.

Qi Mu was stunned and stood there in a daze, not daring to move for a long time.

It seemed as if he was afraid that if he moved, he would scare her, and he was even more afraid... that this was an illusion, and if he moved he would wake up, and the dream would disappear and shatter like bubbles.

Ji Ran tightened his arms even more and hugged his cold body tightly, trying to make every cell in his body bear witness to his real existence.

The fresh sandalwood scent on the man also stimulated her sense of smell.

He is real!

It's obviously true...

Qi Mu turned around slowly and lowered his head to take in the girl's tear-stained face. His blood-red pupils swayed wildly, and the familiar force in front of his chest began to pull violently.

Ji Ran stared blankly at those bright red eyes that were like a surging torrent.

I was shocked, but my heart ached even more.

Tears flowed out madly, wave after wave, like a broken dam.

Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he carefully raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears, but he didn't expect the girl to cry even harder.

Feeling the cold touch, Ji Ran seemed to have turned on a switch to vent, and his heart-wrenching cry suddenly burst out as if struggling from the abyss.

This sudden situation caught Qi Mu off guard. He panicked for a moment and withdrew his hand that was touching her cheek.

He had never seen her so hysterical before, and for a moment he was not sure if she was too afraid of his touch...

So even though he was heartbroken to the point of being frozen, he could only clench his fists tightly, resisting the urge to hold her in his arms.

He couldn't bear to see her in such pain, and said distressedly,

"Don't be afraid, Ranran...I won't hurt you."

Hearing this, Ji Ran seemed to cry a little softer, but she seemed to sob even harder.

She blinked hard at her eyes that were blurred by tears, and put all the heartache and worry written in his eyes into her mind.

"If you're afraid, I'll stay away from you." He continued to comfort her, but his seemingly calm voice always carried a hint of weakness.

After saying this, he planned to take two steps back.

Unexpectedly, the girl took another step forward and hugged him tightly, her cheek pressed tightly against his chest, her sobbing voice trembling slightly:

"do not leave Me…"

Qi Mu trembled all over and was stunned for a long time again. He wanted to raise his hands and hold the soft girl in his arms, but in the end he did not dare to act rashly.

"Of course, aren't you afraid of me?"

Ji Ran slowly let go of his waist and raised his head, still sobbing slightly.

She looked at him seriously and sniffed: "Afraid."

Hearing this obvious answer, the man's bloodshot eyes couldn't help but show a bit of loneliness.

But I only heard her nasal voice saying: "I'm afraid of not seeing you..."

For so many days and nights, he had been silently by her side, protecting her without regrets and blocking all the bullets for her.

So what on earth was she afraid of him?

Isn't it just a ghost?

She is not even afraid of those people who want to kill her, so would she be afraid of... a ghost who is trying his best to protect her?

The man's eyes, which had just dimmed a little upon hearing this, suddenly shook violently again.

He couldn't help but raise his left hand to touch half of her cheek, and his index finger gently rubbed her delicate skin, wiping away the tears from the right corner of her eye, with extreme care:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Ji Ran blinked her watery eyes, her eyelashes still fluttering with a few strands of moist mist, but her gaze remained determined:

“I like you. From the moment I fell in love with you, I wanted to be with you every day of the rest of my life… No matter what you are, I like you, only you.

Qi Mu, I want to be with you."

The man's eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

She clearly knew the truth, yet she showed no fear, nor did she feel disgust or aversion.

Instead, do you still choose to be with him so decisively?

His eyes flickered slightly, and he tried to suppress the turbulent turmoil in his heart, and reluctantly advised:

"You deserve a better life, Ranran..."

She shouldn't put her heart on a dead soul like him. He could not give her anything, not even the simplest warmth.

Let her return to her world, even if he will be in agony for the rest of her life, he can just bear it alone.
