"No! Absolutely not!"

When Zhuge Youlin heard these words, he was so angry that he almost trembled all over. He rushed to Jiang Xianyue and held her thin shoulders with both hands. Originally, he used too much force because of shock and anger, but when he thought about not hurting her, he immediately relaxed his strength.

His eyes turned red, and he stared at Jiang Xianyue closely, his voice trembling slightly.

"You are not allowed to be with others!"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xianyue felt heartbroken, but she finally steeled her heart and raised her hand to push him away. She said coldly, "Zhuge Youlin, wake up. We are just friends! I know you like me, but I don't like you at all!"

At this point, Jiang Xianyue paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of hurting your feelings. Now I'm going to be clear with you! I only have friendship for you, not any romantic feelings."

"So, please don't have any illusions from now on, okay?"

Jiang Xianyue said the last sentence in a decisive manner, leaving no room for maneuver.

When Zhuge Youlin heard these words, he stood there in a daze.

"No..."

He shook his head.

Seeing his distraught look, Jiang Xianyue clenched her fingers slightly, but remained calm as she said, "That's the truth. Yulin, maybe it's not me you like. It's just that we've been together for too long, and you mistook our friendship for love."

"Don't say anymore..." Zhuge Youlin slowly lowered his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on the corners of his lips involuntarily, as if he was shrouded in endless sadness and loneliness. "I understand..."

Jiang Xianyue felt as if her heart was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it so depressing that she could hardly breathe.

She couldn't help but purse her lips tightly, trying to prevent tears from flowing out.

Zhuge Youlin raised his head, his eyes red. His gaze fell on Jiang Xianyue. He smiled and asked softly, "Yueyue, can I hug you?"

When Jiang Xianyue heard these words, she felt a sudden pain in her nose.

She nodded, her movements almost imperceptible.

Zhuge Youlin stepped forward, raised his hand and gently hugged Jiang Xianyue.

Jiang Xianyue snuggled in his arms. He was very tall.

She slowly raised her hand and hugged the boy's thin waist.

Zhuge Youlin felt her response, and his heart tightened. He couldn't help but tighten his arms, wanting to hold her tighter, as if only by doing so he could keep this beautiful moment.

But he knew very well that from now on, he would no longer be qualified to hug the person in front of him in such an affectionate way.

His voice was choked with sobs.

"Yueyue, I like you."

I really like you.

Even though you always scold me, beat me, bully me, and despise me, I still like you.

I thought...

You will like me too.

His tears fell like pearls from a broken string, landing drop by drop on Jiang Xianyue's body, and he looked quite aggrieved.

"Don't cry anymore after you're done crying this time." Jiang Xianyue's eyes were slightly moist.

Zhuge Youlin's tears flowed even more violently when he heard this. He was extremely reluctant, but still held a glimmer of hope. He asked in a hoarse voice:

"Can't you just like me?"

"Don't you like me at all? I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"

"Yueyue..."

Jiang Xianyue rested her head on his broad chest. Listening to his words, her eyes were already red. She almost couldn't help but say, "Zhuge Youlin, I like you too."

But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.

Jiang Xianyue said in a muffled voice:

"Zhuge Youlin, you will meet someone you like in the future."

"Jiang Xianyue, I don't like hearing these words, please stop."

"Stop talking..."

"Please, stop talking."

He is extremely humble.

…

night.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, and everyone on the spirit boat deck was meditating and practicing.

At this moment, Zhuge Youlin had put on his mask again and walked out of the cabin.

The moment he stepped onto the deck, everyone present opened their eyes and looked at Zhuge Youlin.

Zhuge Youlin asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

There was nothing unusual in his words or tone.

Xiao Zechuan asked aloud, "Why did you disturb Yueyue from refining the elixir?"

Zhuge Youlin held the back of his head with both hands and walked over leisurely. He snorted lightly, "What's the bother? I just wanted Yueyue to help me refine some pills, so I went to ask her for help."

"What kind of elixir?" Wen Yuchu asked softly with a smile.

"Secret."

Zhuge Youlin grinned.

Pei Su stared into his eyes, "Why are your eyes a little red?"

Zhuge Youlin realized belatedly and said, "Really? That must have been caused by Yueyue's alchemy fire."

After saying that, he sat down on the deck.

"Do you think Yueyue is mad at me?" Zhuge Youlin brought it up, then shook his head and denied it: "I thought Yueyue was mad at me too, but when I asked, I found out that Yueyue is not mad at me!"

Wen Yuchu's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then that's good."

At this time, a vine patted Zhuge Youlin's arm.

"What?" Zhuge Youlin frowned.

Soon, he saw a small bottle of jelly beans on the vine.

Zhuge Youlin's expression paused slightly.

Then he raised his hand and patted the vine.

"I'm not a child. I won't eat it."
