"Xiaoxiao, I... want to be your follower."
Luo Xiaoxiao looked up at the tall man in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.
If Mu Jingchen hadn't said those words before, she wouldn't have thought too much about this request to follow him.
But now, she couldn't help but think about it.
Combined with the 'illusion' she had been feeling over the past period of time, that Mu Jingchen seemed to like her...
She is slow in emotions, but not stupid.
She had doubted so many times that it was not an illusion.
It’s not that I haven’t been moved.
It's not that she doesn't have the courage to face Mu Jingchen's feelings for her.
She was just hesitating. Did she really want to start a relationship in this strange era...
"Mu Jingchen, we are already husband and wife."
“But you don’t take our relationship seriously.
If I'm not mistaken, you just need a marriage to avoid the empire's bachelor tax.
You don’t care whether the other partner in your marriage is me or anyone else.”
Luo Xiaoxiao: "..."
He actually guessed it right...
"Xiaoxiao, putting aside this fake marriage, I want to be your follower. Will you... accept me?"
The man's gaze fell on Luo Xiaoxiao, his gentle and deep gaze was like a bottomless pool. With just one glance, Luo Xiaoxiao almost drowned in it...
She hastily looked away, trying to calm her pounding heart.
She wasn't someone who liked to escape, so now that things had come to this...
When she met the man's gaze again, she asked a question: "Mu Jingchen, can I take your request to follow me as a pursuit?"
"Sure." Mu Jingchen answered straightforwardly.
"So you're pursuing me simply because of the instinct etched into your genes, wanting a guide as a mate?"
Mu Jingchen seemed to have not expected Luo Xiaoxiao to ask this.
Hearing this somewhat tricky question, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "I don't deny that I was attracted by your identity as a guide at first.
But as I get to know you better, your tenacity, kindness and courage have deeply attracted me.
Xiaoxiao, I like you, not only because of your identity as a guide, but also because of your personality, your talent, your character, everything about you."
Listening to the man's voice, Luo Xiaoxiao remembered a sentence from the 21st century.
Started with appearance, fell in love with talent, loyal to character...
Luo Xiaoxiao also smiled. With the man's word "I like it", everything she had been worried about seemed to be shattered all at once.
Since she is here, she should make the best of it. Maybe she should try to take a step forward...
"Mu Jingchen, what I said before, that I don't want to accept followers for the time being, is not a lie."
Mu Jingchen didn't say anything, but his gaze on the girl seemed to dim a little.
"But I still need a boyfriend. Are you interested?"
Mu Jingchen raised his eyes suddenly. He could hardly believe the voice he heard. His eyes, which were dim a moment ago, seemed to reflect the stars in the sky, twinkling.
"Xiaoxiao, you...are you kidding me?"
Luo Xiaoxiao just looked at Mu Jingchen with a smile, "Excluding that fake marriage, are you willing to let me be your girlfriend?"
The man's Adam's apple rolled, and he had the illusion of being in a dream.
But... even if it was an illusion, he didn't want to hesitate any longer!
Sentinels are always courageous in their nature.
Brave yet gentle.
He slowly reached out his hand and gently held the girl's hand.
The force was very light, and the girl could easily break free as long as she struggled.
With cautious temptation, give the girl the opportunity to choose.
But at the same time, only he himself knows how nervous and anxious he is at this moment.
My heartbeat, which was usually heavy and slow, almost jumped out of my chest at this moment.
He silently counted down the time, waiting for a result.
Should I shake off his hand, or hold it tightly...
The guide has always been sensitive to emotions, and Luo Xiaoxiao felt the man's uneasiness.
She also seemed to have a telepathic connection and understood the choice the man gave her.
She quietly moved her fingers and interlocked her fingers with the man's.
On a midsummer night, the man's palms were warm and dry, and the light warmth almost spread all the way from his palms to his heart.
Luo Xiaoxiao's heart felt warm and soft.
Mu Jingchen was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His heart was beating like a wild horse, completely out of control.
He lowered his head, looked at the two people's interlocked hands, and then looked at the beautiful girl opposite him.
Finally, he couldn't help himself. In ecstasy, he took a step forward and gently embraced the girl in his arms.
His heartbeat was so violent that his hands and arms were shaking uncontrollably.
He couldn't believe that he had such good luck...
No tests, no temptations, no competition...
Such a good girl, such a powerful guide, chose him so easily...
"Xiaoxiao."
"Xiaoxiao..."
"I like you, very much."
I don't know when this love started, but by the time I realized it, it was already out of control...
Luo Xiaoxiao also raised her hand and wrapped her arms around the man's thin waist.
"I like you, too."
She also didn't know when she started to like him.
Maybe it was when the man repeatedly sent her the signal that he liked her...
Maybe it was because every time she was in danger, the man always appeared like a god...
This was her first time trying to fall in love, trying to like a man...
