"Dusk, what are you afraid of?"

"Are you pitying me?"

Song Jinqiao was stunned, and his aggressive aura disappeared in an instant. He stared at him blankly.

Mu lowered his eyes: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"

"No matter what I said before, you were unwilling, but now you take the initiative to agree to it."

"So you're feeling sorry for me?"

…

"I don't want a relationship like that."

…

Song Jinqiao didn't know when he returned to the tree hole. He just felt a little dazed and sat on the wooden chair with a complicated expression.

The system didn't know what she was struggling with, and when it asked her, she pretended not to hear, just holding her chin and staring blankly into the distance.

Just when the system was about to go AWOL, Song Jinqiao finally spoke.

"Ling, am I feeling sorry for him?" Song Jinqiao held his chin in his hand, thinking.

The system thought for a moment: [I don't know what to say, I can only say that you look like you're pitying him.]

[Just like he said, host, you rejected his mate before, and now he has become a useless beast, but you agree. Doesn't this seem like you are pitying him?]

Song Jinqiao frowned, feeling slightly puzzled, but he couldn't explain anything, nor could he describe his emotions at the time.

In the next few days, she did not appear in front of Mu again, but stood not far from the tree hole where he lived, watching him from afar.

She stared at Mu standing outside the tree hole. When Mu was about to notice something strange, she quickly looked away, and then returned her gaze to Mu.

She was lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" The system observed her strange movements and couldn't help but ask.

Song Jinqiao thought thoughtfully: "The emotions I've been feeling these past few days feel somewhat familiar, as if I've experienced them before."

But she just couldn't remember when.

Perhaps this strange emotion was too weak and short-lived at that moment, so it was carried away to some corner by her.

After thinking for a while, Song Jinqiao decided to tell her friends about this decision. Of course, she felt very guilty and insecure.

"So, Qiao Qiao has made up her mind?" It was Bai Di who asked this question. His tone was neither good nor bad, and he still looked as gentle as the wind.

Feeling guilty, Song Jinqiao kept his head down and didn't dare look at them. He folded his hands, absentmindedly intertwined his ten fingers, and placed them on his legs, changing the pattern from time to time, staring blankly at his hands.

She vaguely heard Bai Di's question, lowered her head and pursed her lips in response.

Surprisingly, no one seemed particularly surprised, and their expressions were calm as if she had said this a dozen times.

Of course, this "everyone" mainly refers to Baidi, Cangye and Jihan. Yan Mo and Song Jinqiao have been together for not long, so it is not appropriate for them to ask about these things.

This is an unspoken rule among males in the animal world - a new partner has no right to ask whether a female takes a male.

Yan Mo unconsciously fiddled with the small seed on the table with his fingers, lowered his eyes, and had an indifferent expression.

The slightly bitter taste spread in the mouth and then turned into sweetness.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Song Jinqiao frowned slightly, and his ten fingers unconsciously changed a pattern. He pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and opened them again in just half a second.

"Why don't you just pretend I didn't say anything..."

"Just let Qiao Qiao decide."

Once again, they spoke in unison, and Song Jinqiao was stunned. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the source of the sound.

…Author’s Notes…

I’m afraid that everyone will think these chapters are just empty talk or nonsense, so I’m here to explain them.

These chapters are actually about Qiao Qiao watching the experience of Mu becoming a useless beast, watching it many times, which awakened the throbbing towards Mu that had been suppressed in her heart before, and then she began to accept his turning point.

Because this kind of multi-protagonist story is difficult to write, and I don’t want the partners to always be Yao, which would be boring, so I made such a setting for Mu.

Finally, if you step on the thunder point, please be gentle and criticize, the author is sensitive. (Humble author online begging)
