Chapter 50: The Little Rabbit Likes Me, But I Just Lust After Her Beauty
Chapter 50: The Little Rabbit Likes Me, But I Just Lust After Her Beauty
Ning Rong looked at the tightly closed door, the corners of her eyes twitching uncontrollably.
She stood there stunned for a full five seconds.
Then... "Lin! Qing! Mo!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, squeezing the name out from between them.
Her fists were clenched tight, her nails almost digging into her palms.
"You straight man! Blockhead! Big idiot!"
She roared frantically in her heart.
"This lady took the initiative to make friends with you, and you actually shut me out like this? You wouldn’t even say one more word?!"
"And that Xiao Wu... she actually didn’t spare me a single glance from beginning to end!"
Ning Rongrong’s chest heaved with anger, her pink hair almost standing on end.
When had she, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, ever received such treatment?
Usually, those noble young masters and young Spirit Masters—which one of them didn’t revolve around her? Which one didn’t try every possible way to talk to her?
This Lin Qingmo was something else... he just closed the door on her!
"I’m so angry..."
Ning Rongrong let out a long breath, forcing herself to calm down.
But the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more she thought about it.
However... despite the cursing, her competitive spirit was thoroughly ignited instead.
Ning Rongrong calmed her embarrassed and angry mood.
Staring at that closed door, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and a wicked smile bloomed on her face.
"Hehe... Lin Qingmo, A-Qing, Xiao Wu..."
She whispered to herself, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
"Don’t be in a hurry..."
Ning Rongrong turned and left, her steps light.
Her skirt swayed slightly with her movements, like an elegant yet dangerous kitten.
"We will meet again."
She glanced back at the door of room 202, her smile deepening.
"When the time comes, let’s see how I ’handle’ you~"
She had already begun to calculate in her mind—hadn’t A-Qing said in the Chat Group that he was going to Shrek Academy?
Then she would go and wait in advance to give him a big "surprise"... Rose Hotel, Room 202.
The moment the door closed, only two people were left in the room.
Warm light spilled onto the soft carpet, and a faint scent of roses still lingered in the air.
Xiao Wu stood by the door, yet she was like a startled rabbit.
She moved stiffly to the edge of the bed and sat down, her hands tightly clutching her pink skirt, her knuckles turning slightly white from tension.
Her head was buried low, her long pink hair falling down to cover her burning cheeks; she didn’t dare look at Lin Qingmo at all.
Those words from the Chat Group were still spinning in her mind, her heart beating as fast as a drum, "thump, thump, thump," pounding against her eardrums.
"If... if A-Qing really wants to... what should I do?"
Her mind was a mess.
Various images surfaced uncontrollably, making the tips of her ears turn completely red.
Looking at her like this, Lin Qingmo found it both cute and funny.
He walked over and sat down beside Xiao Wu, the mattress sinking slightly.
"Xiao Wu, you go bathe first, I’ll go after."
"Oh, oh!"
Xiao Wu rushed into the bathroom as if escaping.
A long time later.
Lin Qingmo finished bathing after Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu."
He called softly, suddenly coming to sit beside the nervous Xiao Wu, his hands gently supporting her slender shoulders.
His movements were gentle yet firm as he turned her toward him.
"Lift your head and look at me."
!!!
Xiao Wu’s body visibly trembled.
Like a small animal that had been touched in a sensitive spot, her whole being tensed up.
She hesitated for several seconds... before slowly, bit by bit, lifting her head.
But her eyes still darted away, her eyelashes trembling.
Her gaze was unfocused, simply not daring to meet Lin Qingmo’s azure eyes, as if there were something in them that would burn her.
"Xiao Wu."
Lin Qingmo’s tone became exceptionally solemn.
He reined in his usual playful manner and looked at her with focused eyes.
"I’m going to ask you a question."
He paused, ensuring every word was clear.
"You must answer me truthfully, okay?"
Xiao Wu nodded gently, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s buzz: "Mm..."
The sound was so soft it was almost inaudible, carrying a distinct tremor.
Lin Qingmo took a deep breath and threw out the question directly.
"Do you have feelings for me?"
This question was like a giant boulder crashing into a calm lake, stirring up a massive tsunami in Xiao Wu’s heart.
A-Qing is so, so direct!
Xiao Wu’s body completely froze.
Her eyes were panicked like a young deer cornered by a hunter, darting all over the place.
"I... I..."
Her lips moved visibly, opening and closing, but her throat felt blocked by something, and she couldn’t say a single word.
Her mind was a complete blank.
Only one sentence echoed repeatedly: Do I like him? Do I like him? Do I like him?
"It’s okay."
Lin Qingmo showed a gentle smile.
He reached out and lightly patted the back of Xiao Wu’s hand, his movement gentle and carrying a sense of reassurance.
"I know you’re shy."
His voice was very calm, as if stating a fact.
"But I want to hear your true feelings. No need to rush, think clearly before you speak."
These words seemed to have magic, causing Xiao Wu’s rapid breathing to gradually level out.
Her pounding heart also slowly returned to a normal rhythm.
She lifted her eyes, finally daring to look at Lin Qingmo.
Those pink eyes shimmered with moisture, as if covered by a thin mist.
Under Lin Qingmo’s patient and focused gaze... she finally mustered her courage.
"Yes..."
Xiao Wu’s voice was still very soft, but clear enough.
"A-Qing, I like you!"
The moment those words were spoken, she felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, and her subsequent words became fluent.
"From the first time we met at Nuoding Academy, when you protected me... I’ve liked you!"
After saying this, she quickly lowered her head again.
As if she had exhausted all her courage, she didn’t dare look at Lin Qingmo again.
She was both nervous and expectant, mixed with a hint of fear.
Fear of hearing an answer she didn’t want to hear.
Fear... that all of this was just her own wishful thinking.
Lin Qingmo didn’t laugh.
Instead, his expression became even more serious.
So serious that Xiao Wu’s heart tightened.
"Xiao Wu, I like you too."
He spoke, and the first sentence made Xiao Wu’s eyes light up.
But the words that followed made that light dim slightly.
"But it’s mostly based on your beauty and cuteness."
Very honest, even a bit cruelly honest.
!!!
However, upon hearing this, Xiao Wu wasn’t unhappy at all.
Instead... she perked up her ears excitedly.
Her pink rabbit ears popped out uncontrollably, twitching slightly on her head.
What she cared about were the words "I like you."
As for why he liked her... what was wrong with being beautiful and cute?
She was a beautiful and cute rabbit to begin with!
Lin Qingmo continued, his tone as calm as if discussing the weather.
"Even if I say..."
He paused, looking directly into Xiao Wu’s eyes.
"That I might not be able to be single-mindedly devoted only to you, Xiao Wu, would you still like me?"
He was telling the truth.
Lin Qingmo never felt that he was some kind of Saint.
Having transmigrated to this World, he was a selfish person.
To become stronger, he would not hesitate to snatch known opportunities.
For safety, as soon as he knew the Eastern Emperor Douluo disguised by Bibi Dong was a Titled Douluo, he immediately kowtowed to acknowledge her as his master.
"I am just an egoist."
He told himself in his heart.
He wouldn’t deliberately avoid this point.
At the same time, he was very clear about his own character—compared to deep feelings that required long cultivation, he was more prone to "lusting after beauty."
When he saw a beautiful, cute female who fit his aesthetics, it was common for his heart to be moved.
Being single-minded and devoted?
He asked himself and knew he couldn’t do it, at least not now.
