016 Chu Jiuyue's morbid psychology 1

Now, she is like a hedgehog, raising all her sharp quills and refusing to let anyone get close.

She scanned her surroundings with a cold gaze, as if trying to shut out the entire world to avoid being hurt again.

Perhaps, in her eyes, this world is no longer worth her sincere devotion, and any beautiful aspirations for the future are probably just unattainable and unrealistic fantasies to her.

Just then, Xiao Ba seemed to suddenly remember something important. His eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Host, your man has been silently dedicating himself to our country! Didn't you used to admire soldiers the most? Your man was seriously injured because he was shouldering a difficult war mission and doing his best to protect the lives and property of the people! Isn't such a heroic and fearless act enough to move your heart and make you want to save his legs? Don't you want to see him stand up again and look dashing in his commander's uniform? You know, you used to be incredibly fascinated by soldiers!"

Hearing this, Chu Jiuyue's lips twitched slightly. Although she felt a little helpless and amused, she ultimately did not refute Xiao Ba.

After all, what he said wasn't entirely without merit.

【…】

Even now, she still seems somewhat indifferent to the people around her, as if she finds it difficult to establish deep emotional bonds with others.

However, that special feeling has never changed for soldiers.

Throughout her life, all the happy times she experienced were thanks to the silent dedication of the soldiers who shouldered heavy responsibilities and traveled long distances.

It is because of their efforts that the general public, including her, can enjoy such a stable and peaceful life.

Even though her own life was full of exhaustion and hardship, it could not erase the enormous contributions these soldiers made to the people behind the scenes.

That's why Chu Jiuyue chose to remain silent when facing the person in front of her.

She neither directly refuted what the other party said, nor did she make any clear promises.

This reaction made Xiaoba secretly relieved—at least, she no longer completely rejected it as before.

Sensing Chu Jiuyue's hesitation, Xiao Ba seemed to find a glimmer of light in the darkness, finally finding a tiny crack in her seemingly unbreakable defenses.

However, to truly break down her psychological defenses, Xiao Ba needs to patiently and skillfully penetrate her gradually, guiding her little by little to refocus her attention on and care about this complex world.

"Little Eight, it's such a waste of your talent to be a system!"

After an unknown amount of time, a sigh suddenly escaped his lips, the sound echoing softly in the air.

Chu Jiuyue sighed thoughtfully, "This was like a heavy hammer blow, leaving Xiao Ba speechless. He could only pretend to be dead and give no response."

【Xiao Ba, one should be as clear-minded as a mirror. Your scheming against me is hardly a kind act.】

Chu Jiuyue ignored Xiao Ba's silence and continued to chatter on, as if she didn't care at all whether the other party responded or not, which made Xiao Ba feel scared.

At this moment, the host's heart is like a small boat in a stormy sea, and if he is not careful, he may be swallowed by the surging waves, which is exactly what Xiao Ba wants to see.
