"Ahem, Comrade Shen Hua, you've misunderstood. We understand what you're saying. I'm not asking about those things; I'm just asking if you've considered joining an organization."
Chen Hua: ...
Can she understand that they are trying to win over her consciousness?
She must have understood correctly, and seeing their expectant expressions, Shen Hua awkwardly looked away.
"Sorry, I don't have any ideas at the moment."
Upon hearing that she had no immediate plans, the group took turns praising their organization, describing it in glowing terms.
Furthermore, since they were all organized for the country, they stirred up Shen Hua's patriotism, passion, and fervor, making Shen Hua so embarrassed that he could dig three bedrooms and a living room out of his toes.
Are they sure they're serious about saying that?
If you don't say you've lived so long that you've almost forgotten where you came from, how can you have the passion of a young person?
Putting that aside, is it really okay to tell her about fighting and war when she's only a teenager?
"Well, I understand what you've all said, and it really touched me, but honestly, I don't have that thought right now. I think one person can do what they can, so I apologize in advance."
Hearing her say that, the group, who had been talking until their throats were dry, could only give up. However, they exchanged glances several times, the meaning in their eyes known only to themselves.
"Alright! Since you insist, we respect your choice. Here are our business cards. If you have any ideas, you can contact us."
Shen Hua politely accepted the gifts, gestured to them, and then left.
As soon as he left, the group started discussing it.
"Although the young lady said that, with those young men from those families around her, we can't guarantee that she won't fall for them later, so we need to prepare in advance."
"Hmm, but it still has to be a secret, Old Sun. I remember you have a grandson, around this age, and quite good-looking, how about..."
"No, no, my grandson is too rigid. Standing next to a young girl only makes people afraid. It's Old Wu's youngest son who's the best. You have many sons, but only that youngest son is as handsome as a flower and looks well-behaved, which is very popular with girls these days."
"I think we should arrange it all. Isn't that Xie family member also an ice-cold person?"
As Shen Hua was walking down the street, she suddenly sneezed. Xie Sichen quickly went over to her, worried that she had caught a cold.
"They didn't give you any trouble, did they? Don't take what they said to heart. Just do whatever you want."
"I know."
However, she has already been targeted, and she will have to be more careful in the future. She doesn't know whether the excuse of being from a reclusive family is a good thing or a bad thing.
But no matter what, it's already been said, and it's not easy to take it back.
On the way back, she felt a little dizzy. She couldn't see where she was stepping and didn't know what she was stepping on, so she was going downhill a little fast.
At that moment, she was thinking that if she turned over just before falling to the ground, she would be fine.
But unexpectedly, she kicked Xie Sichen's leg, causing him to bend it. Xie Sichen happened to be there to catch her, and the two of them were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Xie Sichen reacted quickly, grabbed her and stood up, but because one of his feet had been kicked, he was standing a little unsteadily.
His eyes flickered slightly, because just now, Shen Hua's lips had touched hers, lingering for a second before brushing past her lips.
As soon as Shen Hua stood up, she realized what had just happened and her mind went even more blank. But before she could think any further, Xie Sichen let go of her and turned around.
She felt as if all the energy had been drained from her body and collapsed to the ground.
This series of unexpected events left her somewhat dazed. Even after Xie Sichen helped her up, she was still twitching her fingers.
What's going on? Why can't she sense any spiritual energy? And why does she feel so weak?
I can't use my spiritual power anymore, this is too strange.
Shen Hua calmly looked at Xie Sichen, staring at him intently.
"W-what's wrong?"
Xie Sichen saw her looking at him like that, and although he didn't show anything on his face, his ear clips had already turned red.
"It's alright, let's have a go."
Seeing that no one was around, Shen Hua started to fight. Xie Sichen thought the girl was angry, so he didn't fight back, but instead parried her moves.
Shen Hua only exchanged a few moves before feeling tired. Later, she thought Xie Sichen had intervened and was forced to take a few steps back.
It seems I really have no spiritual power left.
Why is that?
De Rui's painting? That's impossible. I felt it when I was dealing with it; it had no impact on me whatsoever, and there would be no aftereffects.
The guys I talked to? That's even more impossible; I haven't even had any contact with them.
After thinking it over, the only difference is that brief moment of contact with Xie Sichen just now.
It was very strange just now; she was walking along just fine, and then suddenly felt dizzy for a moment and fell down.
"Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?"
Xie Sichen also sensed something was wrong at this moment. Shen Hua was acting strangely. Although she didn't have any expression, her pursed lips told him that something was wrong.
Shen Hua looked up at her lips, but after only a second, she looked away.
What am I thinking? How could that be? Just because of a touch, my cultivation is gone? I think I'm reading a novel.
Xie Sichen noticed her gaze and said, "I'm sorry about what happened earlier! I didn't mean to. If you mind, I'll let you kiss me back."
Although the girl still suffered a loss after doing this, there was no other way.
"I don't mind now," Shen Hua replied.
After saying this, Shen Hua walked ahead.
She's not sure yet, so she's not bothered by it for now. She'll decide whether to kiss him back once she's figured out if that's the reason.
Clearly, Xie Sichen understood what she meant and smiled.
I reached out and touched the spot I had just touched; it felt like I could still feel her warmth.
Over the next few days, Shen Hua tried to use spiritual power, but it was no use. She could use some moves, but she didn't have much strength left.
Although she guessed it was because of that kiss, she wasn't weak enough to take advantage of him, which was fine. It was just that dealing with cultivators was difficult.
She took the fox back and kept it by her side. When she went to school, she would put the fox in the medium, which made the fox happy for a long, long time.
The fox also complained to its niece that it was a pet, but the niece wanted it to interact with people and make it learn all sorts of strange things.
Since she had lost her spiritual power, Shen Hua started training in order to have basic self-defense capabilities.
You wouldn't know until you try it, Xie Sichen also goes for a run, so the two of them started running together.
