Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Why is it so hard to accept?
"Huh? What did I say?"
Ye Nanque had no recollection of having said anything he shouldn't have said, but he felt a little guilty under Mu Jiulin's gaze.
Mu Jiulin's pupils dilated, and his red lips pursed tightly, revealing a mixture of helplessness and anger. "Tuzhou, Dahuang, I heard what my senior brother asked Yingwu Luo to leave for me before he left Dahuang."
Ye Nanque: [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did Mu Jiulin know that I was from Tuzhou!!]
system:[! ! ! ! ! ! ! ]
Ye Nanque: […No, why are you so surprised? You can’t even keep an eye on the protagonist?]
System: [I don’t know what he’s thinking! !]
Ye Nanque: [What if our Book Transmigration Administration were all systems like yours! How would we carry out our work? How would we meet our KPIs? What would the higher-ups think of us? You're making us look so clueless!]
System: […You speak as if you are hiding it very well.]
Ye Nanque: [My acting is top-notch, it's definitely not my fault. No, what did I say about me?]
System: [I don’t know, I’m very ignorant.]
Ye Nanque frowned, moved his butt, and sat an inch further away from Mu Jiulin. Mu Jiulin seemed to be in a bad mood now. Although he didn't know why, it should be related to him.
Ye Nanque: "You...when did you know?"
Mu Jiulin: "I knew it from the beginning. I told you long ago that I have a very sensitive nose. I am very familiar with your scent and have never been mistaken."
Smell? What does he smell like? He doesn't even use perfume.
He worked so hard, but was defeated by Mu Jiulin's dog nose. So Mu Jiulin was just acting with him all that time? This kid's acting skills are actually better than his! Ye Nanque got goosebumps.
However, if this is the reason, Mu Jiulin's actions during this period can be easily explained. This guy is probably thinking about the friendship he showed him during that time, so he did not break up with him like in the original book.
This won’t do, he wants to be the villain.
Ye Nanque said stubbornly, "It was just a casual thing back then. You don't need to take it to heart. I remember that when I left, I asked Parrot Luo to bring you a message saying 'We'll meet again someday, even though the mountains are high and the waters are long.' It was just a polite gesture. It's hard to believe you've kept it in mind for so long. It's really unnecessary."
Mu Jiulin's eyes darkened: "That's not it."
"Not this?" Ye Nanque pondered: "Did I say anything else?"
Mu Jiulin stared at him closely, his face flushed abnormally, and his eyes began to turn red, as if he would be so angry that he would cry if Ye Nanque continued to talk like this.
Ye Nanque stopped in time: "Okay, okay, I should have said something else, let me think about it."
Ye Nanque: [System, please help. Can you please check the surveillance footage from that time so I can see what I said? Why do I only remember saying to him, "We'll meet again someday, even though the mountains are high and the rivers are long?"]
System: [I can’t adjust it. I’m very ignorant.]
Ye Nanque: [……]
It's really strange that everyone is angry.
Mu Jiulin stared at Ye Nanque, who lowered his head to stare at the wooden tabletop. There were eleven cracks, six wormholes, and nine wavy patterns on the wooden tabletop. Ye Nanque had almost stared through the wood but still couldn't remember.
"Ha." He chuckled. "It's not that I can't remember, I'm just too tired lately."
Mu Jiulin said nothing and just stared at him.
Ye Nanque picked up the tea bowl and said, "What do you think of this tea? This tea... is quite delicious."
Mu Jiulin said nothing, just looked at him.
Ye Nanque: "Are you tired after chasing me for so long? How about we find a place to stay first? It looks like it's getting dark soon."
Mu Jiulin: "You don't remember it at all."
Ye Nanque: "No."
Mu Jiulin: "Then you say."
Ye Nanque: “…”
"…Is it possible to give a hint?"
Mu Jiulin cast a sad look: "You said... you like it."
"Yes, I like it. I told you I like it." Ye Nanque said seriously, "I remember now. I told you I really like the scenery on Tushan Mountain. I hope to have the chance to go back and see it again in the future."
Tears quickly accumulated in Mu Jiulin's eyes. His long eyelashes fluttered and tears were about to fall. His face flushed and he couldn't speak: "It's not this. You really still... don't want to admit it."
The word "recognize" made Ye Nanque alert. He replied, "Recognize? What do I need to recognize?"
Mu Jiulin raised his eyelashes, and the tear rolled down. His tone became hard and cruel: "Senior Brother said it himself, he likes me. Do you want me to pull out that parrot vine in front of you and let you hear what he said with your own ears?"
? ?
What?
What?
WHAT?
What?
He said he likes Mu Jiulin?
Who said that? Who do you like? Mu Jiulin? What kind of like? That kind of like?
Ye Nanque: [Frog fun.]
System: [Frog Fun.]
After a brief moment of mental inactivity, Ye Nanque slammed the table and stood up: "Impossible!"
He forgot that this was a tea stall. In the past, there were often all kinds of people from all walks of life, including cultivators and martial artists. When he slammed the table, some people took swords and some took knives, and the scene suddenly became a little tense.
Ye Nanque sat down again with gratitude, looked around, and cleared his throat: "Housework, housework."
The tension in the atmosphere subsided.
Ye Nanque lowered his voice and said solemnly, "I would never say such a thing. You must have heard it wrong."
Mu Jiulin smiled bitterly, "How could I have been mistaken? Senior Brother's voice, Senior Brother's tone. Besides, there was no one else on that desolate mountain except you and me. Senior Brother said, 'You're good, I like you,' and it turns out I was the only one who took it seriously. Senior Brother, you... have watched me fawning and worrying about gains and losses for a while now. Don't you think it's funny? Just a casual word from you can make me obediently be led around. Senior Brother must be thinking, how despicable I am."
Ye Nanque frowned and thought hard, and indeed felt that Mu Jiulin's words "You are good, I like you" sounded a little familiar.
wrong!
wrong!
Didn’t he say this to Xiao Huang?
This sentence was clearly what he said when he was threatening Xiao Huang!
The original words should be "If you are good, I will like you. If you are not good, I will pull you out"!
Xiao Huang! Who told you to cut off the beginning and the end like that?! And you even told me you gave it to Mu Jiulin! What a great job you did, Xiao Huang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Mu Jiulin take it seriously? So, Mu Jiulin had always thought he liked him?! No wonder Mu Jiulin had given him a strange feeling since they met again in the Imperial Sword Sect.
What's even more terrifying is... Judging from Mu Jiulin's attitude, he doesn't think that they are in tune with each other, right? No wonder! No wonder Mu Jiulin has been hanging around him all the time, not only not breaking up but also helping him all the time! What has he become!
Thunderbolts struck Ye Nanque's mind one after another. He felt like a roasted pig's trotter, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He was so shocked by this astonishing discovery that he couldn't move. Mu Jiulin's hand reached out and tightly grasped his wrist.
The tears on his face had not yet disappeared. Mu Jiulin said in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't matter if you think I am worthless or not, just think of it as pity for me. Brother, please don't abandon me."
Ye Nanque: [Frog fun, gggggggg... gay?]
System: [Gay.]
Ye Nanque: [You are so straightforward.]
System: [I still have one thing to congratulate you on. Reader Satisfaction: 60.]
Ye Nanque: […What are you talking about reader satisfaction at a time like this?! No, why is reader satisfaction increasing so rapidly at a time like this?! This is so strange!!!!???]
System: [I don’t know either, and I don’t dare to ask.]
This strange atmosphere, Mu Jiulin's fair face and eyes that were as tearful as spring pear blossoms... Damn it, why did he use the words "fair face and eyes that were as tearful as spring pear blossoms".
But...it's really quite tearful.
Ye Nanque silently pulled his wrist out of Mu Jiulin's hand and fell silent again.
He really didn't know what to say or how this would end.
Ye Nanque: [If I reject him, he will probably cry like crazy, but I really can't respond to his feelings. I'm really not gay.]
System: [You are not?]
Ye Nanque: [Impolite, remove the question mark.]
System: [Aren’t you.]
Ye Nanque: [Remove the "ma"].
System: [Tsk, you're not.]
Ye Nanque: […Don’t try to be clever at a time like this. How is this going to end? This is the first time I’ve ever encountered something like this. I think I’ve seen this episode before in an online article somewhere, but I’m really not gay.]
System: [Your situation is indeed special. Please keep him calm first. I will discuss this with headquarters.]
Ye Nanque: "Calm down first." Let him think about how to make it up.
Mu Jiulin whimpered: "Yeah."
Ye Nanque took a deep breath, still unable to understand how Mu Jiulin, such a cool male protagonist, could be gay.
It’s all Xiao Huang’s fault!
However, Mu Jiulin has a good-looking face. If he likes boys, he might also like Mu Jiulin. After all, Ye Nanque knows deeply that he is a face lover to some extent.
Unfortunately, he was not, and could not give Mu Jiulin any response.
He doesn't want to be a scumbag, but this thing happened by chance and by accident, so you can't blame him.
Ye Nanque: "Junior Brother Mu, actually... you are still young, and you don't understand many things. Sometimes you can't clearly distinguish the boundaries of your emotions, so it's inevitable that you will confuse some emotions."
Mu Jiulin's lips trembled: "Senior brother said he likes me."
"Yes, but it's not what you think..."
Ye Nanque thought about it and decided not to tell Mu Jiulin the truth. He couldn't say that Nautilus had delivered the message wrongly. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing for Mu Jiulin? It would be even more cruel to him.
Ye Nanque took a deep breath and acted like a caring older brother: "We will always meet many people in our lives. It doesn't matter if you like this one today and that one tomorrow. You have more noble things to do."
For example, be a hero who saves the world.
Mu Jiulin said, "Huh?" with a look of fear in his eyes: "Senior Brother has fallen in love with someone else?"
Tsk, why is he so stubborn?
