The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

"You are still a child, that's why you think you don't need love," said Wen Xun.

He stared at Jiang Liujing for a while, then suddenly asked a question that stunned everyone, "Have you been to that place?"

Jiang Liujing didn't understand what he meant and let out an "ah" in confusion.

"What that? Which one is that?"

Wen Xun smiled briefly and did not give a direct answer.

He just lazily put his hands in his pockets and shifted his gaze to Chi, who was standing next to Jiang Liujing, with a tense expression for some reason.

He suddenly asked, "What about you? What do you say?"

Chi glanced at Wen Xun coldly, his voice steady and without any fluctuation: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"That's really strange," Wen Xun raised his eyebrows. "Jiang Liujing is young, so it's normal that he doesn't understand. But you don't know either? That's not right."

Chi's physique doesn't look like the type with developmental delay at all. It's hard to believe that he has never been to Wenxun.

Chi said nothing, but his aura suddenly intensified. Anyone familiar with him could tell at a glance that this was a sign he was about to take action.

Wen Xun had been beaten many times by him over the years and knew that he would not kill him. At most, he would beat him half to death. However, he looked fearless.

This was the first time Jiang Liujing felt so confused.

What's this and that? We're clearly speaking the common language of the mainland, so why is it so difficult for him to understand every word?

He looked back and forth. Chu Zhou held his forehead in frustration, preparing to manually shut Wen Xun's mouth. Liu An and Mo Ya stood together, watching him and Chi, with strange smiles on their faces.

Jiang Liujing didn't know how to describe that smile. He just felt that it was not something a human could do. The moment he saw it, he felt a chill down his spine.

It seemed that the only people in the audience who had the same confused expressions as him were the elves and the two mermaids. Even Ajin looked at him in a strange way.

When Jiang Liujing looked over, the tall man turned his head away quickly.

Jiang Liujing: “???”

He has always been a curious person. Suddenly, he discovered that there was something that seemed to be known to everyone except himself, and he felt very curious.

"What's the matter? Just tell me." He couldn't help but say to Wen Xun.

It would be better to tell him directly than to keep him in suspense like this. He is not some old-fashioned person who cannot accept it.

Wen Xun shook his head and lazily made a hushing gesture: "When the time comes, you will know."

Jiang Liujing: "..."

He looked directly at the others, but everyone turned their heads away as if to avoid him.

Jiang Liujing had never experienced such a feeling before. He had been embraced by the crowd since he entered the school, but he didn't expect to be excluded for once, and the target was actually his roommate and the phantom beast.

He stared at them in silence for a long time, without saying a word, but just criticized them silently with his eyes.

Being looked at by a handsome boy with such accusatory eyes, even an innocent person would feel a bit of pity and guilt, not to mention that several people present knew the reason.

Chu Zhou, the most thin-skinned, was the first to give in. He coughed and explained, "Xiao Jing, it's not that we don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is quite personal, and we were taught by our closest elders. If you want to know, you can ask Chi when you get back."

Mo Yaliu'an quickly followed and nodded: "Yes, yes, this matter is too personal, we are not convenient to talk about it."

"Okay." Jiang Liujing reluctantly accepted the explanation, but had some objections to the person to be questioned.

He thought for a moment and said, "Chi doesn't know either, right? I'll go ask Ajin when I get back. Ajin should know—hmm!"

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and before he could wave his hands subconsciously, they were covered tightly like his mouth.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and her black pupils turned to the side in disbelief, but she could only catch a glimpse of a rich red in her peripheral vision.

The palm covering his hand exuded a familiar sense of peace, but what it did made Jiang Liujing unable to understand - why did Chi suddenly cover his mouth and stop him from speaking?

The young man's palm was very big, and it completely covered the lower half of his face from the nose. The remaining air was heated by the temperature of his palm.

Jiang Liujing soon had trouble breathing and slammed his nose against his hand on his face.

Chi probably sensed his discomfort, and loosened his grip slightly, allowing more air to flow in through the gaps between his fingers.

Jiang Liujing had just taken two breaths as if he had been rescued, but was covered tightly by Chi again.

Jiang Liujing: "..."

well.

None of the roommates and phantom beasts present are good people.

Chige is not a good person.

He was slightly annoyed, opened his mouth and tried to bite it fiercely, but he couldn't bite it, and he became even angrier.

Chi felt the commotion in his palm, and the slightly hard solid object brushed against his skin and fell back.

He lowered his head slightly and happened to meet Jiang Liujing's angry gaze, which was full of condemnation. Chi's movements paused suddenly.

He bent down, put his head close to Jiang Liujing's ear, and said in a low voice with a little hoarseness: "Don't say anything more, or I'll let you go."

Jiang Liujing didn't understand why, but shook his head firmly. He didn't!

Freedom of speech is his legal right, why shouldn’t he be allowed to speak?

"Mmmm!" Let him go!

The boy struggled even harder.

Chi had no choice but to grab him with greater strength, almost pressing the whole person in his arms.

He was somewhat bewildered by Jiang Liujing's reaction. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice even further, almost as thin as a mosquito:

"I know what they said. I'll go back and tell you not to go look for Ajin."

"Okay?" When he said the last word, there was a rare hint of pleading in his tone.

It was the first time that Jiang Liujing heard Chi speak to him in such a coquettish tone. For a moment, he forgot to struggle and looked up at him in shock.

Is this Chi?

How could Chi still speak like that?

Could it be that he was hallucinating because he had been deprived of oxygen for too long?

"Promise?"

Chi lowered his head and asked in a breathy voice.

The slender boy in his arms stopped moving when he spoke earlier, and tilted his head blankly, with his black hair hanging on his collar and arms. He let him hold him, looking almost obedient.

A quiet person is like a soft piece of paper, light to the touch but with a sweet scent.

Chi was always afraid that he would escape from his arms.

Escape to a place where he can't see you, disappear from your sight, time, and life.

That inexplicable panic occupied his mind all the time, even though Jiang Liujing had never been away from him for more than three days in the past seven years.

As Chi spoke, the boy's expression remained blank. Perhaps his mind had gone blank as well, but he nodded subconsciously.

"Very good." Chi whispered, slowly loosening his hand.

He also gave Jiang Liujing freedom.

But the bird that was once imprisoned did not escape as he had expected. Instead, it remained in front of the king with its gorgeous feathers, as if the cage had not disappeared.

He looked at Chi with a strange look, which made Chi turn his head away a little uncomfortably, not knowing why Jiang Liujing was looking at him like that.

"what happened?"

"What else?" A heavy cough came from the side, as sudden and loud as a hammer hitting the ice, which made the two of them turn around. They saw that everyone was looking at them with complicated expressions.

The one who made the noise was Wen Xun. He gave the two of them a forced smile and curled his lips. "What do you two have to say to each other in broad daylight?"
