This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Something's not right! Why is Qingyi showing this shy, first love-struck expression?

Could it be that this sword was given to her by some scoundrel?

"......"

Damn, the spirit sword he painstakingly repaired was actually given to Qingyi by that man?!

The thought of this made Li Cangyao's eyelids twitch wildly.

He forced himself to calm down and said with a kind expression:

"Qingyi, can you tell me who gave it to you?"

Su Yu shook her head slightly, "It's nothing, just a gift from a friend."

“Friend?....” Li Cangyao hesitated for a few seconds. “A man?”

Su Yu paused for a moment, but then nodded slightly.

It really is a man?

He did so much, and in the end, he's the real clown?

In that instant, Li Cangyao felt as if the sky had fallen.

It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck my mind, almost causing it to crash.

A surge of overwhelming anger and inexplicable irritation rose within me.

He desperately wanted to confront the woman in front of him and demand to know who that man really was!

However, her haggard and weak appearance prevented him from getting angry, and instead, endless bitterness and helplessness flowed and lingered in his heart.

"..."

No, Qingyi is definitely not what I think!

Given Qingyi's personality, it's impossible that she's ever had any romantic relationships.

Qingyi is such a simple and pure woman, and she's so beautiful. She must have been deceived by the other person's appearance.

That man must have had malicious intentions!

He was determined to pull Qingyi out of the quagmire.

He had to extract all the information he needed from that man!

In an instant, his belief became so firm.

He looked at Su Yu, a forced smile appearing on his stiff face.

"Qingyi, can you tell me who that man is? And what is your relationship with him?"

Su Yu lowered her head, her bright eyes dim. "He..."

"I don't want to talk about these things right now."

"You should go back first. It's been hard work repairing the white crane. I need to heal my injuries now."

"Qingyi, it's just a problem, why don't you tell me?"

"Can I leave right now if you answer this question?"

Upon hearing that Su Yu intended to ask him to leave, Li Cangyao immediately became agitated.

If the man Qingyi didn't tell him, he would definitely have a sleepless night when he got back.

He finally gave his heart, finally made a choice...

Su Yu clearly had no interest in continuing the conversation, and his tone became somewhat cold.

“Li Cangyao, after all, we are men and women, and you have been staying in my room all this time. If outsiders find out, it will definitely cause misunderstandings and be bad for your reputation.”

"You should understand that we are just ordinary friends."

"But now, Fengpu Mountain is sparsely populated, and no one would know..."

"You think you can stay here with me forever if nobody knows?"

"According to your logic, if no one ever finds out, wouldn't that mean a married woman could also share a bed with another man?" Su Yu's expression was strange, and her tone was unfriendly.

"I....."

"Okay, my injuries are serious, and I'm very tired right now. I really don't want to talk about this anymore."

Seeing that the beauty had made up her mind, Li Cangyao could only clench his fists, helpless.

After giving Su Yu a few careful instructions, he left her room.

However, he looked somewhat lost and absent-minded, as if his soul had been taken away.

As the other person's figure disappeared, the system's voice rang in my mind.

[Host, is this what you mean by giving him a treat? It's really sweet; even this system can feel a strong pang of jealousy towards him.]

But you're injured right now, and he can't do anything to you, tsk tsk.

"I'm just telling the truth, I'm not lying, it really was Ye Xuan who gave it to me."

[Then why didn't you finish? Were you afraid that Ye Xuan and Li Cangyao would clash again?]

"He didn't reveal anything to me when I asked him about his identity, so why should I tell him?" Su Yu rolled her eyes at it.

"Besides, given our current relationship, he wouldn't just return the Xuan Yin Jade to me directly. We're already halfway there, so we can only intensify our efforts."

[Poor host, you clearly don't like it but you still force yourself to do this. This system feels sorry for you for a few seconds, sob sob sob]

"......"

"I think you're just gloating, wishing I'd go and seduce seven or eight men."

This system has no such evil intentions; don't slander it!

After leaving Su Yu's courtyard, Li Cangyao walked hurriedly on the bluestone path.

His face was gloomy, and his silver pupils gleamed with an eerie light.

"The white crane was actually a gift from a man, and it's incredibly important to her..."

"So what exactly is her relationship with that guy?"

At this moment, Li Cangyao's thoughts were in complete turmoil.

She even occasionally imagined Mu Qingyi being intimate with other men.

Whenever he thought of this, he would be filled with rage, his suppressed emotions unable to be released.

Damn it, why did it turn out like this?!

He really wanted to tie Mu Qingyi to his side, preventing her from going anywhere, and then force her to reveal the man's identity and whereabouts.

But reason tells me I can't.

Because his relationship with Mu Qingyi is at most that of friends.

Perhaps he had shattered her white crane earlier, causing her to feel hostility and anger towards him, but after the spirit sword was repaired, she no longer had any other feelings towards him.

Some of the conversations we just had even made me feel a little distant from myself.

Just like an ordinary friend.

But this is not what he wanted at all!

After spending these days with her, he realized that he might have developed a little bit of a crush on Mu Qingyi.

That's why he put aside his pride and arrogance to ask for her forgiveness.

It's impossible to get him to give up on Qingyi halfway through.

She had her reasons for being here.

Their destinies complement each other, making them a match made in heaven.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to give up halfway.

"Repairing the white crane this time might not be a bad thing, at least it didn't make her so hostile towards me."

"Moreover, Qingyi's injuries have not yet healed, so I can take this opportunity to express my feelings during this time, until I can get information about that man out of him later."

Li Cangyao became increasingly certain of his resolve.

He had already swallowed his pride once for Qingyi and didn't intend to shamelessly pester her again.

But now that other men have appeared, if he can't lower himself, he won't even get a wife.

Li Cangyao gazed at the full moon in the sky, sighed softly, and finally walked away slowly...
