YM778.TV Chapter 235
“I’m trying to help sir out.” Bing Shi backed out, she knew that he hated matchmaking, it would only make him more furious, “Does sir know? There are at least two other women like me.”
“I know. I’m not interested in other women besides you,” answered Cheng Young forcefully, refusing to give up. It was like a curse. The more she rejected him, the more so he wanted to win her over.
‘Doesn’t he know the meaning of NO?’
“...” Bing Shi made an internal facepalm. She didn’t feel flattered at all, the opposite. Despite his god-like look, Cheng Young made her feel disturbed. From hearing such devoting words, some women would be in seven heavens, while some would get internal bleeding in their ears, such as herself.
Continuing to hold her teacup quietly, she kept her silence – a great answer for someone who couldn’t value her words.
“It has to be you.” Not waiting for another second, he pulled closer to plant a kiss on her lips, wanting to show how much he desired her. When he saw how she started to drink the tea abruptly, he suddenly stopped. What he learned during the time of knowing Tian Shi was self-control. He couldn’t count the amount of time he ended up in prison. There was a limit to his shamelessness. He sat down, almost breaking the cup. He felt the barriers around her thickening. Not knowing that it was Kuro who circled around its host in protection.
Kuro just returned from the trip to the HQ. It thought that Cheng Young’s condition got better, but the first thing it saw after it returned was others pointing a gun at Bing Shi! Some even dared to throw vases at its host! How infuriating!
[Host, did he fall in love with you?]
.....
[“You could notice? But love can easily change into hate. I can make him unlove me by killing off his family, which consists of his father. It could also interrupt my main mission. What if he suddenly decides to destroy the world? Also, wouldn’t it nullify the quest where I have to gain his trust?”]
[Are you going to give up on one of your mission?]
[“No. I’m still trying out that thing. Because no matter what I do, he will never see me as a friend or family again. Kuro, did you finally find out why is Cheng Young so deadpan serious about this unrealistic pursuit of a perfect relationship? I find it too extreme.”]
[Host, his soul broke after one of our veteran hosts gave him what could be considered, in his eyes, a perfect relationship.]
‘His soul what?! Broke?’
Leaving that question for later, Bing Shi evaluated the new knowledge.
There was a deep hope running through a soul, which would always manifest itself in a person’s subconsciousness. Masking itself under a facade of fate and coincidences, the power of mind (1) would then draw the soul closer to its greatest fears or dreams.
(Just like how Bing Shi’s and Xuan Mu’s souls found the other simply because of their soul’s strong desires.)
In Cheng Young’s case, it looked like he developed a six sense to locate foreign entities. After many forlorn lifetimes, his soul turned desperate, falling at first sight with anyone as long as he/she was a transmigrator or reincarnator, not caring if they were happy with each other or not.
His obsession with his grandma was enough to show how extremely desperate his soul was. Thanks god she died before he could realize his feelings.
‘What about Zhao Rong? Is his soul looking for someone too?’
Cheng Young watched how Tian Shi took out a small container from the desk drawer, expecting her to throw some type of contract at him, to make him pay. Surprised when she opened the lid and offered him something. He accepted the flower-shaped cookie with a surprised face, “...”
“A cookie for giving up on me?” She giggled. Her carrot and stick approach couldn’t be more obvious. “Just kidding. It’s a treat for holding back.” Bing Shi poured him a new cup of tea, listening to his circumstances, she munched on a star-shaped cookie. “I made them myself,” she said smugly.
“...” What was she taking him for? A training dog? The tranquil atmosphere gradually returned, the relaxed Cheng Young chuckled at her nervous smile. Was she afraid that he wouldn’t like her homemade food?
Haha. No. Not at all...
?Mr. Jelly:? Bing Shi, how dare you?! Those are our cookies!!!
?I only gave him one cookie.?
?Mr. Jelly:? But it was My cookie!!!!!!!
When Xuan Mu saw how she was about to place her unfinished cookie into the box, his heart throbbed, allowing someone else to take his place.
?Mr. Jelly:? Just finish it. But remember, you owe me a sweet kiss for every cookie given.
Ru Quan wanted to give her some privacy, to show his trust. But blame it on habits, this woman would often include him in what she did and where she went, not hiding things that could eventually upset him. Though most things were against his taste, it helped him to feel cared about.
?Mr. Jelly:? Do you love me?
? I do x3000?
Ru Quan marveled at their younger selves during their school days. Due to Xuan Mu’s neediness and clinginess, he questioned and doubted her love, all day, every day. Getting sick of the never-ending arguments, she would pacify him in different ways, at the cost of her personal space and social life. Fortunately, they overcame this obstacle. Both became more independent. That was until fatal insomnia hit him hard.
“...” Cheng Young watched how Tian Shi hurriedly finished her cookie and placed the snack box into her bag, giving him no more.
“It’s about time I depart,” Bing Shi patted her crossbody bag carefully. A kiss might sound like a good deal; however, never ever take her man’s words lightly.
