Chapter 208.1: Jun Xins Past (1/2)

Tang Doudou immediately sensed that something was off. Just as she was about to press him to find out more, she spotted Jun Xin in the distance.

Since she had managed to discover Jun Xin, the black-clothed man naturally noticed him as well. With a swift movement, he entered the back mountain.

“Hey hey, you can’t go in there!” Tang Doudou hastily shouted after him anxiously. Hell, if he went in and died, who would help her find those things?

It was precisely because she didn’t know what exactly those things were that she was waiting to find out the truth after he found them all. However, if he died, no one would ever be able to know the truth!

Just as she gathered up enough courage to rush in after him, Jun Xin came over and stopped her. “Don’t go in.”

“Why did you come here?” Tang Doudou looked at him strangely. Then she turned back to the forest and saw that the black-clothed man’s figure was completely gone. She sighed. Even if she rushed in now, she probably won’t be able to find him, so she might as well give up on the idea.

She turned back to Jun Xin. For some reason, his current appearance didn’t seem pleasing to the eye at all. She looked him up and down, then asked, “Are you really Jun Xin?”

“What? Stinkin’ woman, just because I changed my looks you can’t recognize me anymore? How blind are you?” Jun Xin purposefully replied using his past manner of speaking as he crossed his arms.

It was a familiar tone paired with familiar words. Even if Tang Doudou didn’t want to accept it, she had to accept reality.

But it was still very awkward ah!

She looked at Jun Xin again. “Then from now on, should I call you Ming Mengxin or Jun Xin?”

“You don’t have anything else you want to ask?” Jun Xin responded with a question.

Hm? She did have a lot of questions, but she didn’t know where to start. She was also scared that after she asked, their relationship would change in an irreversible way. Although Jun Xin was very tsundere, unreasonable, liked to cause trouble, headstrong, and barbaric…

Of course, he also had a lot of good points. For example, he was simple and kind-hearted?

For example, he still treated her quite well, if a little fierce.

And for example, he would quietly help her search for a way to cure the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance. That had to be acknowledged even though it turned out to be a troll.

In any case, Jun Xin was a pretty good friend. Most of all, he was well-behaved ah! He ate whatever she made without question!

“Don’t worry, no matter who I am, I won’t hurt you.” How could Jun Xin not know what she was thinking? During this period, he had come to see things clearly. If she really did like him, based on her personality, she would have already expressed it to him. Moreover, it would only bring her harm if she was together with him. Rather than that, it would be better to let go now. That way, they could avoid the scenario of not even being able to stay friends after she found out the truth.

It’s just that to let go was easy to say. As for whether it was doable or not, even he himself didn’t know.

Since ancient times, the subject of emotions had been difficult to control.

However, just being able to stay at her side was already very good.

Won’t hurt her?

He was probably the fourth person that has said that, wasn’t he?

But not hurting her always meant keeping her in the dark and making her a naive, ignorant canary. No one asked for her opinion, her thoughts.

When Jun Xin saw sadness and frustration flashed through her eyes, he reached out and clasped her shoulder. Feigning nonchalance, he said, “Stinkin’ woman, you better not say that I didn’t give you a chance ah! I’ve already said you could ask. If you don’t ask, then this young master will be heading home to sleep!”

When Jun Xin scrambled her thoughts with these words, all the distress in her heart immediately flew away as she cursed at him jokingly. “Little butt-aged brat! All you know to do all day is eat then sleep, then wake up just to eat again! Just get so freaking fat that you’ll never find a wife!” Then she sneakily slanted a glance at him as she said, “Hey, actually I just don’t know how to ask. Why don’t you just talk about whatever comes to mind and when I think of something, I’ll ask?”
