Chapter 178 The Dodder Flower

The two looked at each other for a long time, speechless and choked with emotion.

Qi Chi didn’t understand, and Jun Lin didn’t understand even more.

My lovely and soft girl is gone just like that?

She put the food on the table with a wooden face and asked in a serious tone: "Tell me, do you want to wear men's clothes or women's clothes? I'll buy them for you."

Qi Chi blushed and shrank into the bathtub, not daring to move.

“I…I…”

Under Jun Lin's increasingly impatient gaze, he couldn't help but shrink into the bathtub again, muttering fearfully: "Dress up as a woman, it might be safer this way..."

Jun Lin said "OK" and left without showing any emotion. Before leaving, he reminded her considerately, "Remember to lock the door."

The boy's heart was trembling. He had no idea what the other person's attitude was, so he had to suppress his uneasiness and decided to apologize to the other person sincerely after washing.

His eyes wandered to the meal on the table. The exquisite and beautiful presentation and ingenious combination showed that it was clearly prepared with great care.

Qi Chi's heart suddenly felt warm, perhaps because he had suffered too much in his childhood. Now when he received kindness from others, even if it was only a small amount, he would accept it with gratitude.

With red eyes, he sniffed, trying hard to suppress the bitterness in his eyes.

Maybe this time he can really change his fate by mustering up the courage to resist.

But--

He can only enjoy this loving package this time. You are no longer the adorable girl who is soft and gentle. Can you still expect Jun Lin to give you special care?

Jun Lin curled his lips as he walked out.

impossible!

The thing she has the most is boys, so it is not that precious.

If everyone knew her true thoughts, they would probably cry their eyes out. So you are still valuable because you are rare, right?

Yanyu watched Jun Lin busying around for Qichi, and the young man suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Before setting out, Jin Ge and others reminded him to be on guard against all kinds of men. After all, everyone knew that Emperor Jing was a man of few talents.

Now, no man has come, but many women have come.

What should I do?

If this straightens the master, what will they do?

Yanyu shuddered at the mere thought of it, especially Jin Ge, who probably would have tied up Qi Chi and skinned him alive.

The poor young man could never have imagined that neither of the two people around him was real.

One is a woman disguised as a man, the other is a man disguised as a woman. He is afraid that he has never been so doubtful about life in his life.

When Junlin bought a few sets of women's clothes and sent them back, Yunyu finally couldn't help but pull her aside to talk.

The young man looked solemn and sad, and asked: "Master, do you like women?"

Jun Lin said decisively: "Then I still like men."

Yanyu felt relieved and smiled: "It's okay then."

Jun Lin: “?”

Why are they all so neurotic all day long?

Who in the world doesn't know that I like men?

After knowing Jun Lin's true thoughts, Yan Yusongri was relieved. He didn't need to be on guard against Qi Chi anymore. He understood Jun Lin and knew what he meant. If he said he liked men, then he would definitely not be interested in women.

Qi Chi smiled slightly.

Brother Yan is such a good man!

He didn't tell Yanyu the truth until Qi Chi finished taking a shower and dressing up.

Since he himself didn't mention the matter of cross-dressing, there was naturally no need for Jun Lin to mention it.

Qi Chi brought out the meal tray. Jun Lin frowned as he took a look at it: "Why don't you eat the meat?"

The young man said honestly: "I can't eat anymore..."

Yunyu looked at the barely touched meal and said in amazement: "Girls are really like kittens to some extent, even their stomachs are the same."

Qi Chi's ears turned red again and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Girls can arouse people's desire to protect them more, so he wants to use this disguise to be protected longer.

Jun Lin: “…”

Forget it. If you think about it carefully, your apprentice is quite pitiful. The two people around him are both gender liars.

The weather suddenly changed this afternoon. Dark clouds loomed over the city, violent winds howled, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually dwindled.

The storm could come at any time, so Junlin did not continue his journey and planned to stay in the inn for a few days.

They have already arrived in Yue State, not far from the Mohist government city, but there is still some time before the assessment of the masters begins, so she is not in a hurry.

The guest rooms for three people are next to each other, and Junlin is in the middle.

The night is dark and a storm is about to come.

It was almost midnight, heavy rain was beating against the windows, strong winds seemed to shatter everything, thunder flashed and with a "crack" the darkness was illuminated for a moment.

The whole night was extremely restless, and Jun Lin was unable to sleep due to the outdoor scene.

The rain is falling tirelessly, the wind is blowing fiercely, and the thunder is roaring violently.

It seemed to wash away all sins and completely cleanse this turbid world.

“Boom boom—”

thunder and lightning.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

There was a knock on the door.

Jun Lin stood up, put on his coat and walked towards the door.

The door was opened, revealing the pale face of the young man.

His hair was disheveled, his pale lower lip was bleeding from being bitten, and he looked at Jun Lin tremblingly while holding the pillow tightly in his arms.

"Brother Lin...I'm afraid..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another thunderclap. Qi Chi was froze in panic, his eyes suddenly closed and he dared not open them. He quickly covered his ears with his hands and let the pillow fall to the ground.

The person is shaking like a sieve.

Jun Lin stood like a pine tree, the complicated look in his eyes turned into helplessness. She stepped aside to let him in. "How did you manage to survive to this day with such a guts?"

Qi Chi’s smile was uglier than crying: “I…I don’t know either…”

He squatted down like a frightened bird and picked up the pillow. He grabbed Jun Lin's clothes and walked into the room step by step. His voice was trembling: "Brother Lin, you sleep. I just need to stay by your bed..."

I just want someone to be with me and ease my fear.

Jun Lin immediately understood what the boy meant. She thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Only after receiving the affirmation did the amber eyes light up slightly.

He was wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the ground, lying on the edge of the bed. Jun Lin lay flat on the bed without any psychological burden.

Thunder roared one after another, and his body shrank every time it struck.

Qi Chi struggled and carefully held her hand. The flashing light outside the window made his face unclear.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, he quietly clenched his five fingers to hold it tighter.

"I know I am useless, so if you are in a critical situation, please abandon me."

The boy's voice was very soft, almost inaudible under the roar of thunder: "Thank you for taking me in. I know I've always been a burden. Even so, I still couldn't help wanting to get in touch with everyone. I don't want to be alone..."

"I'm sorry, brother."

He didn't shed tears, but stated the terrifying truth calmly and fragilely.

Jun Lin paused, then slowly turned to look him in the eyes, hooked his fingers together and held his.

Qi Chi was surprised, then he smiled and said, "You are a very gentle person."
