Chapter 107 (2/2)

“So I am really angry.”

Not expecting the girl to suddenly speak about her inner feelings, Xue Qilin blinked her eyes dully.

Qi Qiqi must have been only 11 years old when she lost her parents.

Loneliness is a kind of freezing substance that will freeze a person's heart and ultimately push them into a dark abyss.

Losing your beloved parents is probably the most lonesome thing in the world.

How did she spend the cold nights when she was only 11 years old? Who gave her warmth? Xue Qilin doesn't think it was Ye Zhen, nor does she think it was Xia Xue.

Was it Luo Qing then? Or was it White Dragon? Xue Qilin isn't sure. She isn't Qi Qiqi, and so doesn't know the answer.

But anyway, during those 5 years, White Dragon must have been Qi Qiqi's source of warmth – at least one of them.

A deep bond will be born when you depend on one another.

From this, it is no surprise that Qi Qiqi loves White Dragon so much.

“I see ah…”

Xue Qilin's voice is a little weak.

Then silence ensued.

She wants to say something, but she doesn't know what to say.

… “Before you came out of seclusion…”

While struggling to find something to say, Xue Qilin suddenly recalled Qi Qiqi's words.

Does this mean that I already have a place in her heart? Xue Qilin feels a little happy.

She doesn't know the answer.

But she hopes, she hopes that she does have a place in Qi Qiqi's heart.

Everyone wants to be viewed as important by the people they like, and Xue Qilin is no exception.

In particular when it's someone she cares about more than anyone else.

… The reason why people are willing to love is because they hope, hope to be loved in return.

Although it's just a guess, and perhaps that's not the answer, but Xue Qilin still chose to believe this wishful guess.

Some people may say that she is foolish.

But fortune favors fools, doesn't it?

“You now have me as well!”

Feeling a trace of happiness from the bottom of her heart, Xue Qilin grinned foolishly.

“I I I… I, I am not…”

The voice gradually became low, and in the end became indistinct.

Qi Qiqi's face and ears are both red.

With her lips quivering and eyes wandering about, she looks embarra.s.sed and timid.

She probably doesn't know how to hide her shyness.

Xue Qilin just looks at her awkward appearance with a beaming smile.

“You're really annoying!”

Humph. Qi Qiqi crossed her arms, turned her head away, and glanced at Xue Qilin askance. There is still a flush on her face.

“It's not impossible to forgive you… but I have a condition!”

“What's the condition?”

Qi Qiqi pressed her index finger against her lips, made an “um…” sound, and tilted her head in contemplation.

It seems that she came up with the condition idea in the spur of the moment.

“My rouge is running out. Go to the town and buy me a box.”

Appearing satisfied with her request, Qi Qiqi crossed her arms and nodded her head, not realizing that it is actually a very easy request.

“Then don't put on makeup anymore.”

To be honest, Xue Qilin doesn't really like how Qi Qiqi looks after putting on makeup.

This is not to say that Qi Qiqi's beauty will be spoiled, nor is it to say that her beauty will be sublimated after putting on makeup.

It's just that women are a kind of mystical creature that may change into someone else after putting on makeup.

When she has makeup on, Qi Qiqi's looks gorgeous and eye-catching, making it so that people don't dare to look straight at her.

Even Xue Qilin needs to gather her courage to face the girl when she wears makeup.

“I don't like it either, but I have to put it on on some occasions.”

“That's true…”

Xue Qilin expressed understanding.

Although Qi Qiqi spends most of the time without wearing makeup, but as the Temple Master, she has to wear it on some special occasions as a show of respect in order to look more dignified.

“In other words, it isn't Internal Affairs Department that prepares it for you?”

Internal Affairs Department is responsible for procuring the necessary items for the entire Merak Temple, which includes daily necessities and cosmetics.

“The color they prepared is too garish… I don't like it very much.”

“Yeah, then tell them to procure a lighter color! For example, sakura color!”

Xue Qilin couldn't help but glance at Qi Qiqi's lips.

The sakurcolored lips are very beautiful and nicely-shaped, plump but not too thick. The thickness of the lips maintains a delicate and fragile balance.

“It is said that brighter colors are more dignified…”

“Dignified? You mean coquettis.h.!.+”

Xue Qilin recalled Qi Qiqi's appearance after she put on makeup and s.h.i.+vered.

It was really flirtatious.

“I think so too, but I can't dissuade them, so I was thinking about getting some myself…”

Qi Qiqi spoke sulkily: “But I haven't gone to that kind of place before…”

“What kind of place…”

Xue Qilin rolled her eyes, and then pointed at herself and asked: “Having said that, do you think I've ever been to a cosmetics shop before?”

Xue Qilin doesn't use makeup, she finds it c.u.mbersome.

Her long hair alone makes her head spin, let alone makeup.

“This is precisely why I want you to go! After all, what's the point if it's too simple?”

Is it difficult to buy things at a cosmetics shop? Xue Qilin's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. She can't make fun of the other party even if she wanted to.

“Don't look at me with those eyes!”

Qi Qiqi tried to cover Xue Qilin's eyes hastily.

“I didn't say that I haven't gone before!”

“Then you should go again!”

Xue Qilin dodged left and right, not letting Qi Qiqi have her way.

“Then will you go?”

Qi Qiqi withdrew her hands, irritated.

Xue Qilin feels a bit embarra.s.sed. After all, she has never been to a cosmetics shop before. But then she remembered that Shui Yuner seems to have something like rouge paste, and she immediately had an idea – she decided to take Shui Yuner with her.

“Fine, I'll go.”

Staring straight at Qi Qiqi's well proportioned bare feet, Xue Qilin pulled the corners of her mouth.

“Your socks are damaged, I'll get you another pair.”

Blinking her eyes, Qi Qiqi responded with an “Okay”.

White Dragon released another meow at this time, appearing to be happy about the reconciliation of the two.
