"That's right, only bad people lie, and bad people are punished. Are you sure you still want to lie?"
Jiu Mo's smile grew even wider, but Bei Rao, preoccupied with her furrowed brows, didn't notice the change in Jiu Mo's facial expression.
His eyes were full of laughter as he looked at the silly girl who was hiding far away from him, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness that he himself did not realize.
"I'm not lying anymore..."
Although Bei Rao spoke very softly, she still shook her head firmly, "But..."
"No buts, just tell me, were you looking at me just now?"
The little girl was extremely shy and hid so far away. Although the blush on her face had faded a bit, her earlobes were still bright red.
So cute, it makes you want to take a bite.
"I……"
"Um?"
Seemingly sensing that Bei Rao still wanted to deny it, Jiu Mo let out a soft snort from the tip of his nose, "You just promised that you wouldn't lie."
"..."
Jiu Mo's words completely shattered Bei Rao's attempts to conceal her true feelings. She pursed her lips unhappily, reached out and plucked a handful of grass from the ground. "So what if I looked? You suddenly popped your head out of the water, wouldn't anyone be curious?"
"Besides this, there are other reasons."
Hearing Bei Rao's words, Jiu Mo was not very satisfied with the answer. He sat down on the grass, his movements lazy.
"..."
Perhaps not expecting Jiu Mo to be such a persistent person, Bei Rao was quite exasperated by his relentless pursuit of answers. She rolled her eyes at Jiu Mo, "I just thought you were exceptionally good-looking, so I glanced at you a few more times, okay?"
Bei Rao spoke with a hint of anger, but she was used to being obedient and gentle, so even when she was angry, no one could tell; they just thought she was throwing a tantrum because she was unhappy.
"That's right, good girl."
Jiu Mo chuckled softly, then turned slightly to look at Bei Rao, "Where are you from? I've never seen you before."
"I am a goddess of the divine realm, and I do not see outsiders. Today I just sneaked out to play, and who knew I would run into you. What bad luck."
Bei Rao didn't hold back in her criticism, expressing her strong reluctance to encounter Jiu Mo, her expression filled with disgust.
Jiu Mo: "..."
Seeing Bei Rao's disdainful expression and tone, Jiu Mo felt helpless. A smile flashed in his eyes. He had just praised her as a good girl, but now she was saying such things to annoy him.
They're really asking for it!
"Even a goddess from the divine realm can be as mischievous as you? You even sneaked out."
Jiu Mo couldn't help but take another look at Bei Rao. She was extremely docile and looked like a little white rabbit. It was really not something she would do to sneak away.
"What's wrong with a goddess? A goddess has her own freedom too; she can run away if she wants to. Does she need a reason?"
Bei Rao couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jiu Mo again, "Does that mean only people like you, who look like bad guys at first glance, can sneak away?"
"Me? A bad guy?"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, "Where do I look like a bad person?"
"What about you doesn't look like it?"
Bei Rao curled her lips, "What you did to me is enough to prove that you are not a good person at all. Now you are still trying to deny it. I really despise you."
What did I do to you?
Jiu Mo asked instinctively, not because he wanted to tease Bei Rao, but because he was genuinely curious.
