Rong Lin slowly straightened up, his deep eyes gleaming with unprecedented complex emotions, like a thousand-year-old glacier beginning to melt slightly under the warm spring sun, revealing a subtle tenderness and panic. He had never imagined that he would have such a day, facing the one he loved, his heart a mixture of emotions, his words becoming so pale and powerless that he couldn't even muster a complete sentence.
Chuchu's eyes were clear and direct. She asked again, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice, as if she was searching for the answer deep in her heart: "So, what you said about coming to the human world for me was not a lie?" This was another confirmation from Rong Lin, and also a confirmation of her own feelings.
Seeing this, Yixian sighed inwardly. She knew it was best for her to remain a bystander at this moment, so she found an excuse and hurriedly left, leaving the lovers in a tangled mess. "I'll go see Master. You two can have a good chat." Yixian spoke with a calculated sense of lightness. Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sky, leaving them in a quiet, yet slightly awkward space.
Chuchu's gaze fell on Rong Lin again. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and penetrate the depths of Rong Lin's soul. She asked softly, "Aren't you going to give me an explanation?" There was no blame in her tone, but more expectation and confusion.
Hearing this, Rong Lin curled up the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile. He slowly approached Chu Chu, and each step seemed to have crossed a thousand years of time. "Explain? Sometimes, emotions are not so easy to explain. I just want to know, when you knew that I had feelings for you, did you feel disgust in your heart, or was there a hint of joy?"
His voice was low and magnetic, and every word struck Chuchu's heart.
Chu Chu frowned slightly, a hint of confusion and bewilderment flashing in her eyes: "I'm not disgusted, that's true. And, when I heard that you have feelings for me, I did feel a little happy. But I don't understand why this is happening? Why should I feel happy when you have feelings for me? What is the reason behind this?"
Rong Lin looked into Chuchu's puzzled eyes, a look of deep pity in them. He gently reached out his hand, his fingertips lightly touching Chuchu's forehead, as if trying to clear the fog from her heart. "Chuchu, the reason you are confused about this feeling is because your emotions and intelligence are bound by the ancient seal of your Jiayang Mountain."
Chu Chu's eyes widened when she heard this, a look of disbelief on her face. She had never heard of a seal within her body, let alone how it related to her emotions.
Rong Lin took a deep breath and continued to explain, "This seal was placed by the old Spiritual Lord a long time ago to protect you from the suffering of love. It seals your emotional intelligence, making it impossible for you to truly understand and feel the love in the world."
Chuchu listened to Rong Lin's words, and an unprecedented shock surged in her heart. She looked down at herself, as if for the first time truly knowing herself, the self that was sealed outside the world of emotions.
"So, when I appeared in your world, those sealed emotions began to stir, wanting to break free. Although your feelings for me were confusing at first, they were actually your truest desire. It's just that this desire had been sealed for so long that even you didn't realize it."
Rong Lin's voice was gentle yet firm, and every word he said was like warm sunshine, trying to melt the ice and snow in Chu Chu's heart.
Chu Chu looked up, still confused: "Then, what should I do? How can I remove this seal and truly feel this emotion?"
Rong Lin smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness: "There is no need to deliberately resolve it. Perhaps one day, you will naturally understand what love and affection are."
Chu Chu felt that Rong Lin seemed to be hiding something.
"Rong Lin, you won't let me lift the seal?"
