Miler, who has a system for giving up

Volume 34: I've Been Confessed To

I looked at Yan Luo, but before I could speak, I did.

Yan Luo understood what I meant. "Don't worry, Xiao Lele, just give me 30 drops of repair fluid, and I guarantee I'll bring the person back for you."

I casually took out the repair fluid, and Yan Luo noticed that there was a third less than when she used it. She looked at me curiously, as if asking me what was going on.

As I used my spiritual power to divide the repair fluid into three portions of 10 drops each and put them into small vials, I answered Yan Luo's curiosity: "Before I was attacked yesterday, I was just planning to take a hot bath to relax, but then I remembered that I had an old injury, so I used some of it. I just finished repairing the old injury and came out of the bathroom to study some spells. You all know what happens after that."

Yan Luo looked at the repair fluid in her hand and said with some heartache, "This is such a good thing! I'm starting to regret it. Was giving each person 10 drops a bit too much? How much repair fluid do you have left? Is it enough to repair your old wounds?"

I smiled and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's enough, and if it's not enough, I can just get more."

Yan Luo nodded and carefully put away the repair fluid.

Han Heng walked up to me, pulled me to sit on two stools, and placed his long fingers on my wrists, using his spiritual power to probe the location of the old wounds in my body.

“It’s really all fixed. The major families all know about what happened last night. The Sikong family will send 10 Foundation Establishment Peak experts to protect you, while the Qin family only sent two Nascent Soul stage experts.”

After checking my old injuries and making sure they were all healed, he continued talking.

“I have also arranged for 10 mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, 5 peak-stage Golden Core cultivators, and 2 early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Then the Ye family patriarch will arrange villas for these people near you, right around your perimeter.”

Seeing Yan Luo looking at him, he added.

"The head of the Yan family has arranged all their living necessities; everything we've done is for your safety."

"Please thank them for me. I'll definitely pay them a visit once my cultivation has stabilized. Um, I might need to break through again soon."

I am very grateful to these families for arranging people to protect me, because we still don't know who sent those 14 assassins.

I felt embarrassed by the end. I had just broken through a barrier a few days ago, and now I've broken through again. If Yan Luo heard this, she'd probably want to hit me.

The three of them nodded happily at first, but after hearing the rest, they exclaimed in unison, "What?"

"You're being way too weird," Yan Luo couldn't help but complain.

"It's alright." I scratched my head a little guiltily.

"Do you know that this will attract heavenly lightning?" Han Heng said with a serious expression.

"Oh no? What should we do?" I panicked a little.

"We can only find a safe place to undergo this tribulation," Han Heng said after thinking for a moment.

“Where is it safe?” I asked.

"How about my family's forbidden area?" Yan Luo suggested.

"Okay." Han Heng nodded.

"Then it's settled," Yan Luo said.

"Thank you," I said gratefully, looking at them.

"We don't need to be so polite between us," Han Heng said gently, looking at me.

With my protectors arranging my accommodation and living arrangements, I now have a safe place to make my breakthrough.

Ye Dongjun and Yan Luo said to me, "Okay, let's go and persuade those ten people first. We'll discuss the next steps with you when we get back."

After saying that, they left in a hurry. Watching Yan Luo and Ye Dongjun's departing figures, I secretly sighed, how lucky I was to know them!

I glanced at the repair fluid in my hand; it was something I could easily prepare myself. But for others, it was an extremely precious repair fluid.

It became an aid on our path forward, enabling us to gather people for our use and to repair everyone's bodies. Looking up, I found Han Heng watching me.

Han Heng's face showed a hint of worry. He frowned deeply and stared intently at me, as if trying to see into my heart through my eyes.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying to find the right words to express his thoughts.

I stared at Han Heng silently, my heart filled with doubt and unease.

I don't know why he was looking at me like that, but from his expression, I could tell that he must have something important to tell me.

Finally, I couldn't help but break the silence: "What's wrong, Han Heng? I feel like you have something you want to tell me. It's okay, just tell me."

My voice conveyed concern and understanding, hoping to put his concerns aside and allow him to be honest with me.

Han Heng raised his head, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Actually... I've been wanting to tell you something, but I didn't know how to bring it up. This is very important to me, and I'm worried it will affect our relationship."

His eyes flickered with hesitation and unease, clearly indicating that he had struggled internally for a long time before making this decision.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly asked, "What is it? Don't worry, no matter what happens, we'll face it together. As long as you're willing to tell me, I'll try my best to understand and support you."

My tone was firm yet gentle, trying to give him some encouragement and courage.

After pondering for a moment, Han Heng finally spoke, "Alright, from now on, no matter what happens, I hope you can tell me immediately. Otherwise, if they were well-prepared last night and you didn't inform me in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. You know, last night was really dangerous; a slight mistake could have led you to utter ruin. So, please promise me that from now on, no matter what happens, you will inform me immediately, okay?"

His tone was firm and serious, his gaze fixed on the other person, waiting for my response.

I answered his previous questions very firmly, while also raising my own questions.

"Okay, I've got it. I definitely won't do it again next time. But this won't affect our relationship, will it? And are you really sure you've said everything you wanted to say? Isn't there anything else?"

At this moment, Han Heng seemed a little shy, and his cheeks and ears turned red.

This was the first time I had ever seen him like this, and a strange feeling welled up inside me. I was filled with anticipation for what he was about to say.

"Actually, I just wanted to express my thoughts. Of course, you can choose not to answer my question or simply ignore it. After all, I don't want this to ruin our friendship."

Han Heng blushed even more as I stared intently into his large eyes.

Finally, as if gathering all his strength, Han Heng bravely raised his head, looking at me with a firm and passionate gaze, and then said the words he had wanted to say from the beginning.

"Milo, actually... I've always wanted to tell you that I like you. From the very first time we met, in the park, I was instantly captivated by you. That's why I tried so hard to understand you and get closer to you. It's okay if you don't like me, because I'm willing to wait until you can accept my feelings. Of course, I don't need you to give me a definite answer right now. Okay, I have other things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."

After he finished speaking in rapid succession, seeing me standing there dumbfounded, seemingly not having reacted yet, he quickly said goodbye and hurriedly fled the e-sports room that seemed to be filled with a hint of ambiguity.

I stared in astonishment at Han Heng's departing figure, my heart filled with turmoil.

I never imagined he would have such feelings for me, and now I must carefully consider my own feelings for him.

This sudden confession left me somewhat bewildered. I sat in my gaming chair, my thoughts in turmoil.

Looking back on everything we've been through together, I realize that I also have special feelings for Han Heng.

Perhaps I like him too? I've decided not to think about it too much for now and let things take their course.

After all, matters of the heart need time to settle and become clear. I believe that no matter the outcome, we can continue as friends.

In that world, I always lived alone, and the little girl in this world never had a boyfriend because she didn't even have any friends, let alone a boyfriend.

I took a deep breath, forcibly pulling my thoughts back to reality, and then shook my head violently, trying to clear my head.

Finally, as my emotions calmed down, I stood up, walked to the three computers in the gaming room, turned them off one by one, and watched the screens gradually go dark.

Afterwards, I left the gaming room and returned to my bedroom on the third floor.

At this moment, I have only one thought in my mind: the next breakthrough is crucial, and I must go all out!

At the same time, we must be fully prepared to meet any challenges that may arise.

I cleared my mind of all distractions, sat cross-legged on the bed quietly, closed my eyes, and began to carefully practice various techniques and moves.

I was completely focused, not daring to slack off in the slightest, because every technique and every move was part of the knowledge and skills I had mastered, and these knowledge and skills were the key to my future breakthroughs.

I will demonstrate all the secret techniques I have learned, from the simplest to the most complex, from the most basic to the most profound.

I integrated and mastered these techniques, feeling the power within my body constantly increasing, and my mind becoming more and more focused. As time went by, my breathing became more and more steady, and I felt as if I had become one with my surroundings.

The spiritual energy within my body gradually became violent, as if it were about to break free from the constraints of my body. This familiar feeling made me realize that I seemed to be about to break through. However, at this moment, Han Heng's words suddenly appeared in my mind—"There will also be a tribulation of lightning then."

Recalling the assassination attempt last night, I couldn't help but frown. Although those men in black had been repelled, I couldn't be sure if they would attack again. Moreover, Han Heng, Yan Luo, and Ye Dongjun were not by my side at the moment. If I chose to break through now, I might not be able to handle the unknown dangers.

After careful consideration, I decided to temporarily forgo this opportunity to break through. I forcibly suppressed the turbulent spiritual energy, stood up, and slowly walked downstairs to the door. Uncle Liang, the driver, saw me in the car downstairs, got out, and asked with a smile, "Miss, where would you like to go today?"

I took a deep breath and replied, "Uncle Liang, please take me to the research lab." Uncle Liang nodded, got into the car, started the engine, and drove towards my destination. Sitting in the car, I closed my eyes and pondered my next plan.

Upon arriving at the research lab, I entered through the passage Han Heng had previously shown me and immediately immersed myself in the research of the repair fluid. I knew that only by improving my own strength could I better protect myself and those around me.

In the lab, I experimented and adjusted the formula repeatedly, trying to improve the repair solution. Because the formula I made before was impossible for others to replicate, I could only try to improve it so that others could learn how to make it successfully.

Time passed by, and my efforts finally yielded some results.

Just as I was getting excited about my new discovery, my phone rang. It was Han Heng calling. I answered, and his concerned voice came through: "Are you in the lab? Is everything alright?"

I smiled and replied, "I just arrived a little while ago. I'm fine, and there's been some new progress." Han Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Be careful. Let me know if you need any help."

After hanging up the phone, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart.

I continued working in the lab when I suddenly sensed someone approaching. I turned around and saw Han Heng standing in the doorway, his eyes revealing concern and anxiety.

Han Heng walked to my side and said softly, "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

I smiled and said, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry." Then, I showed him my research findings.

Han Heng looked at the experimental sample in my hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Is this your newly developed repair fluid?"

I nodded: "Yes, I've made some improvements to the original recipe, and the effect should be even better. It should also be able to be prepared by others. I'll call Sikong in a bit and have him bring a trusted confidant; I'll hand him over to him."

Han Heng picked up a test tube and examined it carefully, then smiled with satisfaction: "You're really amazing. But don't overwork yourself, remember to rest."

I felt his concern and my heart warmed: "I will, and so will you. Don't work too hard."

We smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

Han Heng looked at me with a smile, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. He asked softly, "Could you teach me? I also want to try and see if I can successfully configure it. Consider it me helping you experiment to see if I can successfully configure it using the new formula."

After hearing Han Heng's words, a warm feeling of gratitude welled up inside me. I nodded repeatedly, a grateful smile on my face.

“Great! Of course I can teach you. It would be wonderful if someone could help me test the improved formula and see if it can be successfully prepared. This way, we can better understand the feasibility of the formula and be fully prepared for the challenges ahead,” I said.

Han Heng smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing a firm determination.
