Gu Muchen's voice was deep and hoarse, and every word struck Luo Jiu's heart.

Is this what I want?

Probably. After all, the purpose of coming here is to fulfill any needs of the male protagonist chosen by the system, so that he doesn't have the idea of ​​destroying the world.

I always thought that the male and female leads were the official couple, and that as long as I could bring them together, I could complete the mission and get one step closer to going home.

But... why did she hesitate when Gu Muchen asked her if she really wanted her to like him? Her mind was filled with rejection afterward.

So... you actually don't want this... right?

007, what should I say? #Distress#

【My dear master, whatever you choose, 007 will support you, but... don't go against your conscience~】

Going against one's true nature...

Luo Jiu remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Gu Muchen and said, "Actually, as the monarch of a country, I hope you will agree."

But... I don't know why, when I want to say those two words, there's always a voice deep inside me telling me to refuse. I don't know why..."

Could this be liking someone?

Before Luo Jiu could finish speaking, Gu Muchen scooped her up and pulled her into his arms. His hard forehead pressed against Luo Jiu's glossy hair as he murmured:

"Little Jiu, do you know how happy the Imperial Uncle was to hear what you said?"

I was so happy I couldn't contain myself, so happy I was at a loss for words and lost all composure. At one point, I even thought I was just indulging in wishful thinking…

I want to give up, but you are so wonderful, I can't bear to let you go...

Asking this question was a last-ditch effort, knowing the chances were slim, but I still wanted to ask, to see if I held any place in your heart at all...

I've already considered the worst-case scenario: you won't marry me, and I won't marry you either.

But my dear Xiao Jiu, since you have even a tiny place for me in your heart... then you can forget about leaving me forever...

Luo Jiu was suddenly pulled into a warm and firm embrace. The faint scent of soap emanating from Gu Muchen wafted into Luo Jiu's nose... It smelled inexplicably good... and her heart fluttered inexplicably...

Luo Jiu propped herself up from Gu Muchen's arms, opened her big brown eyes, stared straight at Gu Muchen, and said softly, "Uncle hasn't told Xiao Jiu yet, does Uncle like the Holy Maiden?"

"I don't like you. From beginning to end, I've only ever liked you."

Gu Muchen's voice was deep and gentle, and Luo Jiu, who was leaning against Gu Muchen's chest, could clearly feel the vibration of his vocal cords when he spoke.

This man is mine from now on!

Luo Jiu couldn't hide the smile on her face, but she pretended to purse her lips and asked, "That Southern Kingdom Saintess is so beautiful and charming... and gentle and intelligent... don't you really like her? If I were really a man, I would like her too!"

"I don't like anyone else, I only like you!" Gu Muchen pressed Luo Jiu's head down and pulled her back into his arms.

"Also, you can't like it either," Gu Muchen said like a child.

After saying that, he leaned close to Luo Jiu's ear, his warm breath spraying onto Luo Jiu's ear, which quickly turned completely red. It tickled.

"You can only like me." Gu Muchen's voice was deep and husky, incredibly sexy.

Luo Jiu couldn't resist the tickling and tried to scratch it, but Gu Muchen grabbed her hand and instead stuck out his tongue to lick her earlobe.

Luo Jiu felt even itchier.

Then she heard Gu Muchen release her restless hand and chuckle softly.
