Before seeing Qiao Muyi, Ren Suo had already thought of several possible outcomes for him.
The worst thing would be to die directly. When Qiao Muyi saw his face and came to her door, all of a sudden, new and old hatreds came to her mind, and she used blood, refrigerator and formalin to commemorate her love... Of course, the possibility of this is very low, otherwise Ren Suo would not dare to really come to her door, even though he was scared half to death just now.
A slightly more miserable scenario is that he was beaten half to death by Qiao Muyi, and then he was driven out and never had any contact with the outside world again; or he was beaten half to death by Qiao Muyi, and then he was taken in and never had any contact with the outside world again.
The more common scenario is that he was directly rejected and isolated forever by Qiao Muyi with indifference and alienation.
As for a better ending... well, Ren Suo never thought about having a good ending for himself.
Because in his heart, Qiao Muyi is a very egoistic person.
Although she works in the Countermeasures Bureau, she does not have much countermeasure spirit - 'If you retreat, you can protect the peace of one side; if you advance, you can ensure eternal peace.' The monks in the Countermeasures Bureau are either righteous partners with a sense of mission, or seekers of truth with the desire to become stronger. Most of them have both a sense of mission and desire, and of course they are also lazy.
Qiao Muyi, on the other hand, had neither. Although Qiao Muyi had an impressive resume and numerous achievements, and was ranked first in the annual performance of slaying demons and eliminating evil, and was also the top combat monk in the Countermeasures Bureau... Ren Suo could feel that everything Qiao Muyi did was just to make himself live a more comfortable, safer, and calmer life, and not because of an illusory sense of mission or the pursuit of truth.
As the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, she had freedom of movement, plenty of time, and could obtain more resources for cultivation. It didn't take her much energy to become a third-level powerhouse. She was indeed not very diligent in her cultivation, but she was gifted and her awakened spells were powerful.
She is different from Yu Kuangtu. Yu Kuangtu has both the desire to seek the truth and the sense of mission. He wants to do both cultivation and love with both hands. But if he faces some situations where he must sacrifice, Ren Suo thinks that Yu Kuangtu will just leave a last word and then rush forward.
Qiao Muyi actively adapts to the environment, making the environmental conditions very suitable for her life, and then she will relax and enjoy life.
She will not compromise herself because of her mission and responsibilities. Nothing in the world can compare to her great kindness.
If Qiao Muyi only had this tendency before, now that she is a third-level expert, it can be said that she will have no problem breaking the rice bowl of the Countermeasures Bureau. As long as she does not touch the bottom line of the country, she can live a comfortable life no matter where she goes, so she naturally becomes more unwilling to be wronged.
People's hearts will change, but most people become more and more smooth, while Qiao Muyi becomes more and more angular.
However, most monks are like this, after all, they are a new class with their own means of production.
Of course, Qiao Muyi is exactly the kind of talent the Strategy Bureau needs. The Strategy Bureau judges deeds rather than intentions. As long as you serve the country honestly, you will be an advanced monk of the new era, a three-good strong man.
For someone like Qiao Muyi, when dealing with personal affairs, she must make sure everything goes according to her wishes. She will never compromise and put her own mood first.
Ren Suo's impression of Qiao Muyi was not wrong.
However, Qiao Muyi's feelings and her mood do not depend on herself.
It depends on him.
Ren Suo stretched out his hands stiffly, carefully put his arms around Qiao Muyi's slender waist, and held her in his arms.
Qiao Muyi was not nervous at all. Instead, she hugged Ren Suo's neck, pressed her beautiful body against him, and said softly, "I'm very angry."
"Or, you promise me that you will never take risks again."
"Or..."
Qiao Muyi's eyes were full of affection, and her lips shone with an alluring luster under the light. Ren Suo didn't hesitate at all and kissed her gently.
It wasn't as exciting as I had imagined, but rather there was a natural fit.
In the Dark Side of the Moon, Luna and Ren Suo performed the Moon Ritual by kissing. The first two times were average, but the feeling came back after the next few times. There are many kinds of kissing, such as licking a lollipop, sucking kissing with lips held, and tongue kissing. Both parties need to slowly test which method to use, because lips are soft and sensitive, and if you use too much force, you may hit teeth.
But Ren Suo found that he and Qiao Muyi skipped the testing process and started with the sweet meal. He was so skilled that it seemed as if he had tasted Qiao Muyi's cherry lips many times.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Qiao Muyi hugged Ren Suo's neck, tilted her head slightly and stared at him. Ren Suo could even feel Qiao Muyi's slightly heavy breathing.
She was also a little nervous.
"It's OK. I've lost half of my anger. Now I have half left." Qiao Muyi gently stroked the back of Ren Suo's neck and said slowly, "Do you know what to do?"
Ren Suo nodded, hugged her tightly and kissed her wetly. This time it lasted a little longer, and Ren Suo felt that the person in his arms, who was originally soft, was now limp in his arms like a beautiful snake with its bones pulled out, her breathing became heavier, and her body seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
This time it was Qiao Muyi who took the initiative to push Ren Suo away. Her face flushed and she glared at Ren Suo with shame and anger. She stretched out her tongue and gently licked the water on the edge of her lips. She swallowed the liquid in her mouth with a gulp, raised her eyebrows, and said majestically: "It's not that easy. The same behavior can't make me feel better."
Ren Suo was slightly startled. He first glanced at the sofa and then glanced at the bedroom inside.
Seeing Ren Suo's eyes rolling around, Qiao Muyi knew that he wanted to bully her further. She immediately reached out and pinched Ren Suo's face, saying in shame and anger: "What are you thinking? I want you to swear, and promise me that you will not take risks for others again!"
"That's what makes me most angry about you. If you were very sure, it would be fine, but you dared to go without any confidence at all. You were fine the first time, you were fine the second time, but what about the third time?!"
Ren Suo smiled awkwardly: "This is only the first time."
This is the second time.
Qiao Muyi subconsciously glanced at the glass coffee table, then quickly retracted her gaze and said, "I'm telling you, Ren Suo, I hate people like you the most. If you don't change your stupid brain circuit, don't blame me for using the special methods of the Countermeasures Bureau to distort you... Don't try to shut me up!"
Qiao Muyi directly blocked Ren Suo's mouth with her hand and said angrily: "What? Do you think that I, Master Mu, like you, a little Suo, very much, so if you please me, I will forgive you everything? There is no such thing as a cheap deal!"
"I don't have a way to make people selfless, but the Countermeasures Bureau has many ways to make people realize the preciousness of their lives. I will show you stories, pictures, and videos about the sinister nature of human beings, so that you will lose hope in humanity..."
Qiao Muyi's voice became quieter and quieter. Ren Suo gently touched her head and held her in his arms. She buried her face in Ren Suo's chest, hugged him tightly, and said helplessly: "Those who are favored are fearless... I really have no way to deal with you, my enemy."
With the soft jade in his arms and the sweet words in his ears, Ren Suo's heart was filled with emotion and affection. He whispered, "Is this why you're angry?"
"What else?"
Qiao Muyi held Ren Suo's hand with a little more strength, and said softly: "You have no idea how important you are to me... I don't care whether other people live or die, but you must live well for me."
"I thought..." Ren Suo blurted out subconsciously, then he realized something and closed his mouth.
"Do you think I'm mad at you because two girls fell in love with you in Dark Side of the Moon?" Qiao Muyi said unhappily, "Who do you think I am, Mr. Mu? What's the point of me being mad at you? Can I completely eradicate your hidden dangers like I sterilized Xiao Suo?"
Ren Suo let out a long sigh and glanced at the orange cat peeking around the corner, thinking that it was really a case of having the same name but different fates.
Then Qiao Muyi said, "Even if I am angry, I am angry at these two. If I am really angry, do you think it would be difficult for me to make them never appear in your sight again?"
Ren Suo's heart tightened at first, then he relaxed, shook his head and said, "No, you won't do that."
"Why do you think I wouldn't do that?" Qiao Muyi snorted, "Weren't you very afraid of me just now? You stood at my door for several minutes and didn't dare to ring the doorbell. I'm so scary that I can do anything."
Ren Suo chuckled and said, "I'm afraid of you not because you're scary, but because I'm nervous... but I know you won't do that."
This feeling came inexplicably, but when he held Qiao Muyi in his arms, Ren Suo seemed to be able to sense Qiao Muyi's emotions through the bond, and knew when she was telling the truth and when she was joking.
"Yes, I won't do that." Qiao Muyi was not interested in leaving a thorn in Ren Suo's heart, and said openly: "I won't achieve my goal by making you unhappy."
"Your unhappiness hurts me more than my unhappiness."
Ren Suo was almost melting.
"So I will use a method that you can accept to achieve my goal."
Ren Suo blinked, and immediately remembered that this weak and boneless girl in his arms, who seemed like she could be bullied by him, was an officially certified third-level "Disaster Witch", the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, with a bright future. The means she could use were simply beyond Ren Suo's imagination.
But Ren Suo had expected Qiao Muyi's strength and was not surprised. He lowered his head and gently kissed Qiao Muyi's forehead.
Qiao Muyi really enjoyed Ren Suo's intimacy. She hummed twice like a little fox, then suddenly hugged his neck and raised her head to ask, "By the way, who told you that I like you?"
"..." Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi blankly: "I...I guessed."
"You guessed wrong." Qiao Muyi suddenly became cold and said lightly.
Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi suspiciously, wondering what game she was playing.
The two of them were almost all about going to the Civil Affairs Bureau and sleeping together legally. Qiao Muyi was almost sitting in his arms. Although Ren Suo's hands were very obedient and did not touch Qiao Muyi's firm and elastic buttocks. If Qiao Muyi didn't like him, Ren Suo would have been broken into six pieces - limbs + head + torso.
Ren Suo silently changed into "Echo of Desire" and asked tentatively: "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I don't like you, but you are obviously sexually harassing me now. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will lock you up in a small dark room as the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau." Qiao Muyi said seriously.
Qiao Muyi's expectation echoed: "Confess to me."
Hey hey hey?
Is this step necessary?
I thought the action just now was enough to show my attitude!
Although it was a bit strange why Qiao Muyi suddenly insisted on this form, Ren Suo changed his mind and realized that Qiao Muyi was, after all, a girl who had fantasies and expectations about love, so it was normal for her to need a sense of ritual.
So, do I like Qiao Muyi?
Ren Suo came up with the answer without much thought.
Ren Suo was afraid of Qiao Muyi because he was afraid that Qiao Muyi would distance herself from him.
Qiao Muyi was angry with Ren Suo because she cared about his life or death.
Touched? Grateful?
Not only that, Ren Suo could clearly feel his own mood.
When you kiss, you hope to stay young forever; when you hug, you wish to grow old in an instant.
"I like you." Ren Suo looked into Qiao Muyi's clear eyes and said seriously.
Qiao Muyi seemed very satisfied, with a slight smile on her lips and a hint of charm in her eyes. She said, "Say it in English once."
"I.love.you."
"Switch to Japanese."
"...Auntie washes the railway?"
"Changed to a state of half-asleep and half-awake talking in sleep."
"...Hululu~~Hululu~~Mr. Mu, I love you..."
"Speak loudly as if to the sea."
"...I-like-you-"
"Change to a little boy's tone."
"Emmmm... beautiful sister, I like you so much, can you be my wife?"
"Change it to a robot-like, mechanical voice."
"...I will always be with you. I like you."
Ren Suo had completely given up afterwards. No one knew about it anyway, so he just treated it as a joke.
Qiao Muyi nodded with satisfaction: "Change to the cat's way."
Oh, I know this. Ren Suo said seriously without any pressure: "Meow meow~~"
The orange cat who was playing with a ball turned around and looked at Ren Suo, a trace of contempt on his fat face.
Qiao Muyi waited for a few seconds, and when she found that Ren Suo did not make any other moves, she asked, "No more?"
"Yeah, that's what cats say, meow~~" Ren Suo nodded seriously. The orange cat next to him shook his ball angrily and walked into the cat litter tray, shaking his big butt.
Qiao Muyi asked: "Wouldn't a cat lick the other person after expressing their love?"
Will it?
Ren Suo turned his head to look at the orange cat who was using the toilet. The orange cat buried its head in the cat litter with an indifferent expression and answered him with its big, ballless butt.
However, Ren Suo reacted quickly, hugged Qiao Muyi tightly and started to be affectionate with her again.
After a long time of tenderness, Qiao Muyi buried her head in Ren Suo's arms, pressed against his chest, and said softly: "This time you took the initiative to confess to me. You liked me first, and then I liked you. Remember this."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Although Ren Suo knew that Qiao Muyi liked him first, he didn’t mind at all that he was the one who took the initiative.
Even if he would be laughed at, it would only be her making fun of him in front of the children, so Ren Suo was very calm about it.
"But," Qiao Muyi said faintly, "Although I wasn't the first one to like you, what you said was not wrong..."
"What?"
"You said that me, Cheng Ling, and Yue Yan all like you. Well, there's also Luna who we don't know? You saved her, but she's not the Moon Goddess anymore?"
Ren Suo's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
Then Ren Suo saw Qiao Muyi put her ear close to his left chest, listening to his heartbeat, and asked with a hint of a sly smile in her voice:
"What about you?"
