Chapter 142: The Host
The distance between the two was very close, and Ji Chen could clearly hear Jiang Jiu crying out of grievance. He, who had been so domineering and unfathomable, suddenly panicked.
He quickly let go of the pitifully crying Jiang Jiu and looked at her face.
Although the light here was dim, Ji Chen could still clearly see the tear marks on Jiang Jiu's face, the red eye circles and nose, the pouting of his little mouth in grievance, and the crystal tears that kept sliding down, shedding little pearls like crazy, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.
Ji Chen was annoyed and didn't care that he was still angry about Jiang Jiu avoiding him, and he coaxed her without any bottom line.
He kept wiping her tears.
"I was wrong. Don't cry. I just don't want you to distance yourself from me."
"I won't ask anymore. Don't be sad. It's my fault."
His voice softened, and he even seemed a little at a loss.
Ji Chen's expression was reflected in Jiang Jiu's pupils. There was no trace of the immortal master whose power was enough to shock the heavens and the earth. He seemed to be just an ordinary man coaxing his beloved.
She pursed her lips, not wanting to speak, feeling a little angry, and even Ji Chen's attempts to coax her were useless.
Ji Chen knew that he had gone too far, which made Jiang Jiu overturn the table.
As long as she cried, he had no way to deal with her and could not use any means. He could only use the most primitive way to make Jiang Jiu happy little by little.
"It's all my fault, huh? Stop crying, I feel bad."
Ji Chen's big hand gently brushed across the back of Jiang Jiu's head, and moved down along her black hair, incredibly gently.
Jiang Jiu pouted, but her tears still couldn't stop falling. She was the type of person who couldn't stop crying once she started. No matter how much others coaxed her, she would still have to cry enough. What's more, she really couldn't say a word now. If she spoke, she would cry even harder.
She is tear incontinent. In the past, when she got bad grades on the exams and her mother scolded her, she would cry all the time, even until morning.
The next day I went to school with a pair of walnut eyes.
But later I had to be strong for various reasons. Now that those difficult days have passed and they have pulled me out of the quagmire, my emotions have gradually returned to normal and my personality has become the same as before.
Frightened by Ji Chen like this, he couldn't control himself anymore.
Ji Chen coaxed her like this for a long time before Jiang Jiu managed to calm down. She pushed him away with sobs and spoke in a crying voice.
"It's just because of this little reason that I feel so sorry for you. I'm embarrassed to face you. Why do you keep forcing me? I haven't done anything wrong."
As soon as Jiang Jiu finished speaking, a look of helplessness appeared on Ji Chen's face.
"I'm worried that you'll leave me. I've waited for you for countless years, a very long time. I really can't lose you again."
"You are willing to sacrifice yourself for the world, but I am not willing to. I can no longer accept your leaving. I have waited for you for a long, long time."
"As long as you want to leave me, I won't be able to control myself and want to force you to stay by my side. So don't treat me coldly in the future. If you have a temper or are unhappy, you can tell me, even hit me and scold me to vent it, but you can't leave me. I can't bear it."
He was just stating a fact, but Jiang Jiu felt like she had heard a grand confession. She was originally crying so hard, but her face became redder and redder as she listened. She even forgot to shed tears and looked particularly adorable in her daze.
Until Ji Chen finished speaking, Jiang Jiu turned into a stuttering little pitiful person again.
"No, no...I didn't want to hear that...and I didn't mean to..."
She felt dizzy and pink bubbles appeared around her. She opened her mouth, but it was as if she didn't say anything.
"That is... aren't you angry? I forced myself on you?"
Jiang Jiu asked again cautiously.
Ji Chen was relieved to see that Jiang Jiu finally stopped crying. After hearing this question, he raised his eyebrows and a playful look appeared in his eyes. Although he wanted to tease Jiang Jiu, he was afraid that she would cry again, so he could only bend down, pinch her face and said.
"Do you think, if I were angry, would I still be standing here? Would I still beg you to forgive me and want to be with you forever?"
He actually has a gentle voice, but because he usually speaks in a cold tone, he exudes a cool aura. Now he speaks to Jiang Jiu so softly, which is unspeakably gentle, and no one can refuse him.
"No...but that's not the case."
Jiang Jiu didn't seem to accept this statement. He lowered his head with a lost expression and muttered.
"What?"
Ji Chen didn't want Jiang Jiu to avoid his sight, so he wouldn't be able to understand her true thoughts. So he simply lifted her chin and forced Jiang Jiu to look at him.
"You said I was the goddess who saved the world. Aren't you here to repay me?"
Jiang Jiu was a little confused.
Maybe she always worries about some unimportant things, whether it is repaying a favor or the issue of a substitute. Even if she is sure that the person is indeed her, but the timeline is different, she will still worry about other issues. As long as she has not seen the truth of the matter, she will continue to hesitate. This is her character.
Without positive feedback since childhood, Jiang Jiu often falls into endless internal friction, just like now.
"...How could it be that I was just repaying a favor? Do you think I have that kind of personality?"
Ji Chen was almost laughing out of anger. He never expected that Jiang Jiu would have such an idea. It was so infuriating.
"...Isn't it?"
Jiang Jiu pursed his lips, a little frightened by Ji Chen's expression, and his voice became much softer.
"Of course not! I fell in love with you long before you became a goddess."
Ji Chen simply held her face, looked into her eyes with a very serious look, and spoke word by word.
“!!!”
After hearing such a solemn confession out of the blue, Jiang Jiu's expression was blank again and she couldn't say a word. It was not until Ji Chen tied a red rope around her wrist that Jiang Jiu woke up from her dream and wanted to take it off in panic. But it was impossible for her to return the things Ji Chen had given her so easily.
He just stood by and watched Jiang Jiu trying to take off the red rope. When Jiang Jiu was at his wit's end, he looked at him for help.
"I don't want this."
Jiang Jiu only felt that the red rope on her wrist was very hot, which made her unable to help but recall the memories in her dream. This red rope had been wet many times when the two of them were entangled, which made her unable to face it at all, as it was very hot.
"Are you so shy that you would drug me and rape me?"
Looking at the helpless little animal, Ji Chen couldn't help but tease it with evil humor, and Jiang Jiu's whole body suddenly stiffened.
