Chapter 736 How did he know
What was considered a brilliant tactic at the time became extremely clumsy when the truth was revealed: if she had a clear conscience, she wouldn't have needed to pretend at all, and this extra act would have shown that they were the same person.
Ye Xiaoman changed Xiao Chujing's question: Why do you hide the fact that you are a chicken leg burger?
Of course it’s to carry you on my back.
But the person in question, faced with an obvious answer, still came to ask, which showed that he didn't want a real answer at all, but was silently pleading:
——Just lie to me.
A few sentences of conversation are completed in an instant. When people are suddenly asked unexpected questions, their reactions at that moment are the most real.
When you suspect that the other person is cheating on you, don’t ask “Do you have someone else outside?”, but ask directly “Why did you betray me?” If you ask the former, the answer will be “You’re overthinking it”, while if you ask the latter, they will blurt out “How did you know?”
Xiao Chujing was well aware of human nature, so he chose to mention it without any warning.
This is what it's like to live with a scheming man. Life is always as exciting as a roller coaster.
Ye Xiaoman's reaction was also given in an instant. At this time, when unfavorable evidence was placed in front of her, there were only two ways: to admit it or to quickly occupy the moral high ground.
Xiao Chujing didn't even ask her directly if she had cheated, so why did she slide down on her knees and beg for mercy? She chose to respond vaguely, quickly standing on the moral high ground.
There are only two moves.
——You forced me to do this.
It’s all your fault for being mean to me, it just so happens that he was very good to me, so I made a mistake; it’s all your fault for being too good to me, I felt suffocated, it just so happens that the love he gave me was what I wanted, so I made a mistake.
——I’m doing this for your own good.
In this case, choose the second option.
Teacher Ye’s lecture hall opened an emergency class.
Ye Xiaoman placed her free hand on top of Xiao Chujing's big hand that was pressing down on her. She lowered her head, allowing him to see only the tip of her hair.
"Because I'm a highly sensitive person. My personality test says I'm an INFP. I'm afraid of conflict, and I don't want to see Senior Brother Xiao get into conflict with others because of me."
"Our situation at the time was that we were far away in a foreign country, isolated and without any help. It was very dangerous."
"I did suffer some injustice," she added immediately when she saw Xiao Chujing wanted to ask something, "It's not a very good memory. Don't ask me anymore. I don't want to recall it, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Xiao Chujing felt sad after hearing this. The little junior sister's psychological process was exactly the same as he had guessed.
She really was trying to protect him.
"Brother Xiao, just know that no matter how outrageous my behavior is, from my perspective, I am doing this for your own good and for the good of everyone."
"Ji Wenyi always said that he could make us into bean paste if he wanted to."
Ye Xiaoman's voice gradually choked: "I just wanted to protect you."
The more Xiao Chujing listened, the more uncomfortable he felt: "Ji Wenyi, he..."
Ye Xiaoman said, "He said he liked me and wanted to have a one-night stand, all sorts of inexplicable things. I rejected him, so he just holds a grudge against me."
Ye Xiaoman carefully observed Xiao Chujing's expression and silently carved a golden medal of immunity from death for herself.
"I know you two are good brothers. If he says something to you that denies me, you can ask me if it's true."
Ye Xiaoman said so much, but the Heart-Searching Stone never reminded her that she was lying.
Xiao Chujing's eyes darkened, "As expected."
Xiao Chujing felt so guilty that he didn't know how to make amends: "I'm sorry, I was too incompetent and failed to protect you."
Ye Xiaoman replied tolerantly: "It's okay, you've done very well."
The fellow disciples around them didn't know why Xiao Chujing and Ye Xiaoman suddenly started discussing their relationship. The atmosphere was obviously very solemn just now, and it was not said that the Heart-Searching Stone could be used by young couples to show affection.
The conversation between Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chujing was incoherent and they did not get any key information.
It was just that Ye Xiaoman seemed to be harassed by Ji Wenyi while performing a mission in the Divine Realm. Xiao Chujing was very concerned about whether she was hurt and looked like he wanted to avenge her.
The fellow disciples accidentally overheard some gossip and were all very surprised. It seemed that the God Emperor was a bit of a scumbag. Didn’t he already have Queen Abao whom he loved? Why did he still pester the little junior sister?
Xiao Chujing and Ye Xiaoman's love is made so pure by him.
Elder Tang was stunned for a moment before he stepped forward to stop them.
"Our Qingzhengzong customs are still quite reserved. From now on, we are forbidden to talk about love in public."
He waved his hand again and separated the two lovers, "Enough of the noise, get down, get down."
Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chujing walked out of the dark room side by side.
Ye Xiaoman hesitated and whispered tentatively: "How do you know? Did Ji Wenyi tell you..."
Xiao Chujing didn't want to mention the name that made Ye Xiaoman feel painful. He told her, "It doesn't matter anymore."
At this point, he had confirmed all his guesses from Ye Xiaoman and no longer bothered about the fact that she had several aliases.
Ye Xiaoman was very surprised. She thought Xiao Chujing would make a big fuss about her vest, but she didn't expect that Xiao Chujing would stop after she just said a few words and hadn't shown her true skills. But considering that he would make up excuses for her in his own imagination, it seemed very reasonable?
At the fork in the road, Xiao Chujing looked deeply at Ye Xiaoman, "Wait for me."
What are you waiting for?
Ye Xiaoman was pulled into a warm embrace.
The curious people around burst into exclamations.
Ye Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed and struggled out of Xiao Chujing's arms, mainly because she saw the white cat guarding the door staring at her sharply again.
Xiao Chujing touched Ye Xiaoman's face. The white cat came over and rubbed Ye Xiaoman's legs. Xiao Chujing used his spiritual power to suck the cat by the scruff of the neck. Regardless of the cat's angry cry,
He turned around resolutely and headed for the place where he was in seclusion. His back showed the hero's determination to change his fate.
The senior sisters came over with a smile.
"You and Junior Brother Xiao, right?" The eldest sister touched two fingers together.
But he saw Ye Xiaoman raising her face blankly, an honest man who didn't understand romance and had a clean reputation.
Don't ruin her single image, it will hinder her from picking up handsome guys.
The senior sisters dispersed in disappointment, "So Xiao Chujing's love is unrequited."
Ye Xiaoman said goodbye to her fellow disciples and returned to her cave calmly.
When she was halfway there and there was no one around, a nervous expression finally appeared on her face.
Xiao Chujing didn't want to talk about it, but she really cared. How did her vest get exposed?!
She walked in circles on the mountain path, thinking.
Straighten the timeline.
Xiao Chujing had never bothered her about Ji Wenyi before she broke through. After returning to the sect, he suddenly came to her and said that it must have happened within ten days from her breakthrough to today.
The only recollection she had was that one night Xiao Chujing told her he was going out to pick spiritual fruits, and then the next day he suddenly said he had something to deal with and could not go with them.
Could it be that during this period, he contacted Ji Wenyi who was in the same area?
