Various exquisite pastries were laid out on the stone table, but Wan Ge seemed completely uninterested.
What Qi Ruyu had said still echoed in her mind: a demon hunter had already arrived at Zishu Yan's house. She wondered if the demon hunter had gone there because they had sensed her presence, and if so, what should she do?
Wan Ge didn't necessarily think she couldn't defeat her opponent, but she had never intended to hurt anyone. What should she do if she really faced a demon hunter? And how would Zi Shu Yan react when he found out?
She was reluctant to leave Zishu Yan, especially since he had taken her out again today, and she felt that Zishu Yan was even better now.
…
"Little fox, your ears are sticking out." A deep, warm voice sounded from above.
Wan Ge's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly touched her head, only to find that she had actually touched a furry ear.
Looking back at Zishu Yan, whose eyes were full of smiles, he was even more shocked: "You...you...you saw it all."
"Mmm." Zishu Yan slowly approached her and hugged her. "I saw it all. They have very cute ears."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Wan Ge looked at his reaction and it didn't seem like the kind of reaction described in the book, where he was terrified after finding out about her and even thought about hurting her.
"Don't be afraid, will the little fox hurt me?" Zishu Yan asked seriously.
Wan Ge immediately shook her head: "Of course not."
"That's settled then. Since you won't hurt me, why should I be afraid?"
Wan Ge thought about it seriously and felt that it made sense, but she also felt that Zi Shu Yan's reaction was a bit too calm. Other people would have a big reaction when they saw a fox demon, so why was he so calm?
Why aren't you surprised at all? Have you just accepted it like that?
Zishu Yan sighed softly, then touched her ear again, causing Wan Ge's ear to twitch involuntarily. "You can't hide your ears at night. What if someone sees them?"
"What do you mean by that?" I can't hide my ears at night! And his reaction... could it be...? "Did you see it before?"
Zishu Yan did not deny it, and nodded directly: "I knew it the first day you stayed here."
So it wasn't something that happened last night, but rather something that was exposed the night before last.
"You, you, you..." Wan Ge was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Looking at the person in front of her who wasn't afraid of her and was even so kind to her, she didn't know how to react for a moment.
“I fell in love with Wan Ge at first sight, so you don’t need to worry. I won’t be afraid of you, nor will I hurt you,” Zi Shu Yan explained earnestly, seeing her puzzled expression.
"No, no! You said you fell in love with me at first sight, but yesterday you refused to marry me. And...and deliberately kept your distance from me."
He'd say things like, "This won't do," or "That won't do." Even a simple touch of his hand would startle him.
"I thought that all young vixens like you, who are new to the world, would like that kind of thing."
How did you know?!
"I bet you all read some storybooks before you came to the human world."
Wan Ge coughed awkwardly, then replied, "You guessed right."
Zishu Yan sat down on the stone bench next to her and looked at her: "Wange, most of those storybooks are just the unrealistic fantasies of pedantic scholars. Read less of them in the future."
"What do you mean?" Wan Ge asked, her face full of confusion and bewilderment.
