Tong Guang turned around, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chenyan, a hint of nonchalance in his eyes. "Last time, when we celebrated Qiao's birthday, didn't you say something to me on the way back?"

She frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the scene, but she couldn't remember the specific words spoken.

"What exactly did you say? I really can't remember, I just vaguely think you said something!"

As she spoke, she gently rubbed her temples, trying to clear her mind.

She wanted to ask this question the day after she woke up, but then various things came one after another, disturbing her mind, and she forgot about it.

The night sky was like a huge black curtain, dotted with jewel-like stars. The moonlight was as bright as water, very similar to that night. Coincidentally, it was still the two of them.

This question involuntarily crept into her mind!

Jiang Chenyan was slightly taken aback, not expecting the girl to suddenly ask him this question.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. So she didn't hear it that day!

Under the moonlight, the lens refracted tiny, dazzling rays of light, which intertwined to form a thin curtain of light.

It's impossible for anyone to see the complex emotions flowing in his eyes!

He looked up and met the girl's clear, pure eyes.

That sentence, hidden deep in my heart, is like a piece of candy in my mouth, rolling and turning on my tongue, lingering and churning!

He almost blurted it out, but in the end, he swallowed it back down.

God knows how much he wanted to say those words to her in person.

At this moment, Jiang Chenyan was so timid and afraid!

He could tell that the girl only saw him as a good friend, and there was no romantic relationship between them that went beyond friendship.

He was really afraid that if he rashly revealed his feelings at this moment, they might not even be able to remain friends anymore.

The thought sent a sharp, piercing pain through my chest...

He didn't want to see this heartbreaking scene happen...

Perhaps everyone becomes cautious and insecure in front of someone they like.

Even a brilliant and outstanding person like Jiang Chenyan can't help but feel a pang of sadness when he's in front of the person he likes!

I'm so afraid that one wrong move and I'll lose everything I have...

Tong Guang stood quietly in place, his eyes fixed on the silent man, who was just looking at him without saying a word.

Thinking to herself, she assumed that Jiang Chenyan didn't want to talk about it, or that those words were just unimportant! If that was the case, she simply didn't press the matter and turned to leave.

next moment!

A pair of warm, large hands gently landed on her shoulders, and with a slight pressure, stopped her in her tracks.

Tong Guang turned around and looked at the man with a puzzled expression!

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

Jiang Chenyan bent down, meeting her gaze!

Half an hour!

His thin lips parted, his voice low and husky, suppressed yet containing a hint of excitement. "Tong Guang, do you...do you have someone you like?"

His gaze never left the girl's face, for fear of missing any subtle change in her expression.

His hands unconsciously tightened their grip due to tension.

Tong Guang seemed oblivious, the moment he heard the other person ask that question!

A clear, aloof face suddenly flashed through her mind.

Suddenly, she was startled! It felt like being struck hard by a thousand-pound hammer, leaving her stunned on the spot.

He just stood there, dumbfounded, without moving an inch.

After a long while, she slowly came back to her senses as if waking from a dream.

No no no...

how come?

How could I possibly like him?

That person has always been just a target in her mission! All she wants is to regain her demonic power and return to her original world.

They were from two completely different worlds, and no matter what, it was destined to have no outcome.

How could she possibly like someone who treats her like a pet?

Suddenly, the girl's lower lip twitched with a self-deprecating smile...

That's hilarious...

She shook her head vigorously, trying to completely shake that figure out of her mind.

But she found that the more she tried to suppress her thoughts, the clearer the figure became, remaining firmly in her mind! No matter how hard Ren Tongguang tried to drive it away, it wouldn't budge an inch.

It firmly occupied her thoughts...

This uncontrollable emotion roared over her like a ferocious beast, instantly engulfing her!

The indescribable feeling in his heart spread slowly and densely, driving Tong Guang almost to madness!

Her chest heaved violently, all around was quiet, and all she could hear was her own rapid breathing... eroding her nerves again and again.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment, as if it had frozen in time...

For a long time.

Her breathing gradually calmed down...

She got it!

This must be that damn system playing tricks; it must be the system deliberately conjuring up that person's image in her mind.

They wanted to use this to disturb her mind and influence her judgment.

Yes, that must be the case!

It's definitely not me thinking about him.

She wasn't thinking about him, she wasn't thinking about... Si Hanye!!!

She told herself this over and over again.

It seems that the more they say this, the more certain they become of their own heart.

……

However, little did she know that the more she desperately denied and avoided the issue, the more it proved the true feelings buried deep within her heart.

This self-deceptive and ostrich-like behavior is undoubtedly a blatant attempt to cover up her true feelings, revealing even more nakedly her deep longing and affection for that person.

Jiang Chenyan stared intently at the girl, watching as her expression gradually shifted from blankness to disbelief, and now to a complex and indescribable look.

My heart skipped a beat; I wondered what was wrong with her.

His lips moved as if he wanted to call out the girl's name, but he was afraid of disturbing her.

He didn't understand why his words had suddenly elicited so many different expressions from her.

Lost in his own thoughts, Tong Guang repeatedly tried to calm himself down, attempting to soothe his troubled heart, which had been disturbed by some inexplicable emotions.

Just when she thought she was about to succeed...

The system's unhurried voice echoed in my mind, instantly shattering the false peace.

[The system has detected that the host has developed feelings of longing and affection for the target. A reward of 800 Pure Love Points has been awarded, bringing the total to 3090.]

Tong Guang was so startled by the system's words that he swayed.

He jumped up in anger!

It wasn't because of the tempting double points, but rather the deeper meaning behind the system's words.

"Shut up, that's not how it is!"

She objected loudly.

What kind of longing?

What is this lingering attachment?

That's completely untrue!

She...how could she not know!

Jiang Chenyan was startled by the girl's sudden rebuke, his eyelashes drooping slightly and trembling.

"Feel sorry!"

A hint of regret crept into Jiang Chenyan's deep voice... He thought it was his fault that had angered the girl, and he apologized for his rudeness.

Tong Guang was only then surprised to realize that he had uncontrollably shouted at the man because he was refuting the system's words.

"No...it has nothing to do with you!"

"I'm sorry, Jiang Chenyan, I... I didn't mean to."

"I didn't mean to yell at you..."

She was anxious to explain, but didn't know how to begin! She couldn't very well tell him that she had a thing called 'System' in her head.

She was yelling at it just now, wasn't she?

Seeing the little girl looking flustered and somewhat at a loss.

The man smiled slightly and said softly, "It's nothing! Don't worry about it."

Jiang Chenyan leaned forward slightly, carefully approaching the girl.

Breathe lightly and hold your breath, keeping your voice extremely low and slow.

Like a gentle evening breeze brushing past my ear: "Tong Guang, can you tell me what just happened?"

His eyes were full of concern and confusion. He wanted to know who it was and what had caused her to show such complex emotions.

Tong Guang misunderstood him, thinking that Jiang Chenyan was still asking the original question about "whether she has someone she likes".

She subconsciously pursed her pink lips, her eyes flickering, as if a thousand words were stuck in her throat.

But I didn't know how to say it... That strange feeling welled up in my heart again.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his face.

She waved her little hand haphazardly, her tone slightly hurried. "Oh! What do you mean by 'like' or 'dislike'... I... I don't like it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed eager to escape something, and quickly took a step back, breaking free from Jiang Chenyan's grip on her shoulder.

Tong Guang turned around without looking back, and hurried away into the distance.

Jiang Chenyan was left standing alone, watching her departing figure, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile!

I shouldn't have pressed her for answers.

She was such a bright and lively little rabbit! She shouldn't be troubled by other people's feelings for no reason.

Yes!

Who says you have to get a response from someone you like? Sometimes, you can silently protect the person in your heart and be there for them when they need care and companionship the most.

Isn't this another kind of beauty?

He paced to keep up with the girl's steps.

Just like now, he stood quietly behind the little girl, her graceful figure reflected in his eyes!

This is fine...
