Quick Wear: The host is good at flirting, and the cold beauty's soul floats

Chapter 152 The Cold Taoist Priest is Really Charming 19

Bai Ye's expression looked sad, but there was actually no sadness in his tone. The cunning look in his eyes was particularly obvious, and his eyes were dry without any sign of sadness.

He would occasionally sneak a peek at Zhu Jinnian's performance, and it looked like he was just playing.

Bai Ye pretended to be sad. Zhu Jinnian felt as if he could smell the fragrance of tea. Was it his illusion?

Although Zhu Jinnian knew Bai Ye was pretending, he still explained seriously, "I really don't mind it. It's just that this is the first time I've seen a thousand-year-old...human, fox, no..."

Zhu Jinnian's explanations became more and more confusing. Calling it a human wasn't right, and calling it a fox seemed disrespectful to Bai Ye. The more he spoke, the more incoherent he became.

Zhu Jinnian's explanation was dry and flustered, but Bai Ye liked him just like this and thought Zhu Jinnian was so cute.

In order to prevent Zhu Jinnian from continuing to worry, Bai Ye reached out and held Zhu Jinnian's face.

Zhu Jinnian's face was very small, only as big as Bai Ye's palm, or perhaps even smaller. He was handsome and beautiful, and the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes disappeared a lot because of Zhu Jinnian's panic at this moment, making Zhu Jinnian even more cute.

Zhu Jinnian was suddenly held on the face by Bai Ye, and when she met Bai Ye's beautiful fox eyes, she instantly forgot what she was going to say, and could only emphasize again: "I don't dislike you, really."

Bai Ye smiled and said in a gentle voice, "I know Jinnian doesn't dislike me. Jinnian likes me the most, right?"

Bai Ye's gentle voice seemed to be bewitching, causing Zhu Jinnian to nod in agreement without realizing it.

When Zhu Jinnian saw the big smile on Bai Ye's face, he realized that he had just nodded. He blushed immediately and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Bai Ye.

"What's the matter with liking or not." It was too ambiguous, and Zhu Jinnian's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken. He couldn't help but glance at Bai Ye, and immediately saw a pair of affectionate eyes.

He couldn't bear such a gentle look and quickly lowered his eyes, fearing that something unexpected would happen if he looked at Bai Ye any longer.

Bai Ye was delighted to see Zhu Jinnian's performance, and the burning candles added a bit of ambiguity to the atmosphere between the two of them.

"I don't care." Bai Ye's tone became increasingly gentle, but his words sounded like he was being unreasonable. "Jinnian said she likes me, so she likes me. You can't go back on your word."

Bai Ye's behavior reminded Zhu Jinnian of the question that had been hidden in his heart.

He hesitated whether to ask.

If he asked, what if he guessed wrong, his relationship with Bai Ye might become awkward in the future. If he didn't ask, he would feel very itchy and always wanted to know the answer to this question.

Bai Ye saw Zhu Jinnian's hesitation, which made Bai Ye reflect in his heart whether he had pushed Zhu Jinnian too hard.

He breathed lightly, fearing that breathing louder would change Zhu Jinnian's thoughts.

His hands were still holding Zhu Jinnian's face, and he didn't want to let go at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Jinnian raised his eyes and asked Bai Ye: "Aye, what kind of love do you have for me?"

"Although we have only known each other for a few days, but..." He always felt that Bai Ye's feelings for him might not be pure.

He was reluctant to say the latter part of this sentence. Bai Ye was so smart that he would definitely understand his thoughts.

Bai Ye chuckled. He hadn't expected Zhu Jinnian to be so quick to figure things out. "How did you suddenly think of this?"

His lack of a clear answer made Zhu Jinnian's eyes wander, and he even wondered if he was overthinking it.

"That's right, I just suddenly wanted to ask."

Bai Ye didn't want to hide it any longer. The longer he delayed, the more trouble he would cause. He admitted directly, "Yes, I like you. I liked you the first time I saw you."

In Zhu Jinnian's shocked eyes, Bai Ye said clearly: "My love for you is the same as Zhu Changqing's love for Bai Li."

Bai Ye's words sounded like a joke, but Zhu Jinnian could tell from his serious expression and eyes that Bai Ye was not joking, but telling the truth.

"Why? We've only known each other for a few days."

"Hmm?" Why was this reaction different from what he expected? Wasn't he a little too calm?

Zhu Jinnian asked, "Why do you like me? There must be many beautiful people like you in Qingqiu. Why do you like me? Are you looking for a fleeting romance?"

Just by looking at the appearance of Bai Ye and Bai Li, you can tell that there are countless beauties in Qingqiu. However, it is a bit unbelievable that Bai Ye said he liked him.

Bai Ye: "It's a feeling that I can't explain, but I just like you."

Zhu Jinnian did not seem very happy. Instead, he pulled Bai Ye's hand away from his face.

Because Bai Ye held his face while talking to him, all his emotions could not escape Bai Ye's eyes.

Zhu Jinnian turned his back to Bai Ye, feeling very complicated at this moment.

No wonder Bai Ye was so nice to him at the beginning. His feeling was right. Bai Ye did have other intentions towards him, but Bai Ye's intentions were a little too shocking.

"You are a fox from Qingqiu, with a long lifespan, but I am just a human."

It wasn't that he disliked Bai Ye. On the contrary, he and Bai Ye fell in love at first sight.

In that small, shabby house, he was stunned by Bai Ye's beauty when he saw her for the first time.

After spending these few days together, he felt that Bai Ye was a very gentle person.

He does not reject same-sex love. In this world, there is no rule that only people of the opposite sex can be together.

As long as you truly like each other and don’t harm others, what’s wrong with being together with the same sex?

It’s just that the gap between him and Bai Ye is too big.

Bai Ye is an elder of Qingqiu. He is already thousands of years old, and no one knows how many more years he has left. However, he only has a few short decades.

The gap in reality forced him to endure the heartache and reject Bai Ye's affection.

"My life is only a few decades long. I will be old when you are in your prime. You should stop wasting your time on me."

Zhu Jinnian had used up all his strength to say this, but he still tried to remain calm.

He didn't want to stay here, otherwise he would soften his heart if Bai Ye said a few more words.

After Zhu Jinnian finished speaking, he raised his foot to leave Bai Ye's room, but suddenly he was hugged from behind. A pair of big hands tightly held his waist, making him unable to move.

Zhu Jinnian knew without looking back that it was Bai Ye who hugged him from behind, so he did not struggle, but tried to pretend to be calm and explain to Bai Ye.

"Aye, there will be no future for us to be together. Just like my uncle and aunt, they will separate sooner or later. We might as well take advantage of now..."

"It's better to break up now while our feelings are not that deep. Is that what you want to say?" Bai Ye interrupted Zhu Jinnian.

Zhu Jinnian's eyes suddenly turned red, his eyes felt hot, and his nose felt sore.

He closed his eyes and said "hmm".

Bai Ye was silent. Just when Zhu Jinnian thought he had succeeded in persuading Bai Ye, Bai Ye spoke up, "Our situation is different from theirs. How can we know if it will work if we don't try?"
