Ji Ling met Ning Yu's sharp gaze, and his expression finally froze. The coldness that was almost seen through made him calm down instantly.
Ning Yu was testing him.
In fact, when he was kidnapped by 'Gabriel' and stayed in the base, he had already seen through him.
He had clearly seen through her disguise and knew that she was not who she appeared to be, but he still deliberately said such words to force her to admit that she was not the person he said she was — not a domineering, arrogant, cunning, and cruel aristocrat. If she could be honest and treat him sincerely, then he would naturally use a different method and attitude to treat her true self sincerely.
He wanted to know his secret.
But this was the answer that he could not say, the question that he could not answer.
Ning Yu stared into Ji Ling's eyes. Her voice was slow and clear. Her eyes were deep and probing. "You're afraid that I'll know that you don't hate me. You're afraid that I'll know that you're willing to save me. You only show kindness to me when you've concealed it … Why is that?"
What is bothering you? What is it that you want?
If you are willing to tell me, in exchange, I will tell you my true feelings, and face everything with you.
Ji Ling looked into Ning Yu's black eyes. In those gentle eyes, there were encouragement, inquiring, and puzzlement. They seemed gentle and reliable, just like … the person he thought was before.
But in fact, they were not the same.
The Ning Yu he thought of was a bright and noble person who was upright and brave. He had always lived under the sun and darkness had never left a shadow on him … But the Ning Yu in front of him had a heart deeper than anyone else. It was as if he had walked out from the ruins of a raging inferno. He still had his perseverance, but he was not the kind of person Ji Ling thought him to be.
Ji Ling took a deep breath, and his expression slowly became cold, saying, "You are right, I let you down first, so you don't have to feel sorry for me."
Ning Yu's eyes dimmed as disappointment flashed across her face.
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled fearlessly. He said, "Since I've fallen into the hands of the resistance army, you can do whatever you want to me. After all, I'm a very useful High Noble, isn't that so?"
Anyway, it's not like you haven't used me before.
He looked at Ning Yu provocatively. Come on, let's hurt each other.
You bastard liar! You deceived me so badly and wasted so much of my feelings, but you still want to get the truth out of me with just a few words? Dream on!
Ning Yu fixed her eyes on Ji Ling. Looking at the boy's bright and burning eyes, she didn't flinch at all. After a while, she sighed softly. "As long as you're happy."
With that, he turned around and left.
Ji Ling stared at Ning Yu's back as she left. He raised his chin and snorted. Weren't you the one who insisted on reasoning with me? Now that I've done it, you're not happy.
Who doesn't know how to cosplay? Come on, let's arrange the script for the nobles and the rebels to fall in love (cross off) and kill each other!
The System was silent for a while. Then, it said: [I think, he might not really mean that …]
Ji Ling laughed. [Of course I know he doesn't really mean that, and he wouldn't treat me like that. But how can I tell him my real identity and mission? I remember you said that the death rate of the Host exposing your identity is very high. Also, it's against the rules, right?]
System: […]
Ji Ling: [Moreover, I'm going home. Why should I open my heart to the people here?]
System: […]
Ji Ling: [Even if I tell him my purpose, he won't be able to help me. If that's the case, it's not impossible to consider:)]
The System instantly stopped bullshitting.
He suddenly remembered the mission's condition: Ning Yu and Jing Sui love each other.
Hmm, the Host is more thoughtful. Some things really don't need to be said. There's no need.
Ji Ling finally felt a little better after scolding Ning Yu. He thought to himself, It's all because of you, you bastard, that I can't complete the mission and go home! If you really wanted to help me, you should have fallen in love with Jing Sui. Now that things have turned out like this, you still have the cheek to ask me why? You're really pissing me off!
Don't ask. If you ask again, I'll make you and Jing Sui get married immediately!
… …
Ji Ling walked upstairs angrily.
