"How do you say this?"

Xingyuan also fell silent, and the hand that was originally stroking Xiaozhu's back also stopped. Could it be that Chen Ying'er realized that her mental power was lost too quickly when she used the future vision?
If that were all, it wouldn't be that bad.

After all, Xingyuan could directly explain that peeking into the changing patterns of the Gate of Living Beings consumed a lot of his mental energy, which was a normal thing.

As long as Chen Ying'er doesn't feel like she's the one who always predicts the future, it'll be fine.

"Speak about this quietly, don't let Cai'er and Li Xin hear it."

It’s not that Xingyuan doesn’t want Caier and Li Xin to know that he has such an ability, but the fewer people who know or suspect that Xingyuan may have this ability, the better. This will be better for everyone.

What's more, this matter also concerns Chen Ying'er's image in the eyes of other people in the team. Once the window paper is broken, she will directly transform from the "backbone" of the team to the most unstable factor.

Chen Ying'er agreed. After all, if the "cooperative relationship" between her and Xingyuan were to be made public, it would not be beneficial to either of them.

"I think it would be better if I didn't accept your help from the beginning. That way I wouldn't have to worry about disappointing everyone's expectations..."

After Chen Ying'er finished speaking, she quickly changed her tone and explained, "Of course I don't mean to blame you. I really thank you for helping me for so long and for preventing everyone from looking at me with strange eyes."

However, even if they knew that Chen Ying'er's summoning technique was unreliable, based on Xingyuan's understanding of their personalities, they would not do such a thing.

Or rather, they were quite happy to see this scene.

After all, being in the same team with two such outstanding people like Xingyuan and Caier, both Li Xin and Yue Mingnan, who had the most mediocre qualifications, and Wang Yuanyuan, who had family blood talent and was slightly better, were overwhelmed.

How could he possibly dislike Chen Ying'er for this?
"You don't have to worry about that."

Xing Yuan glanced at the sentimental Chen Ying'er in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he continued to send her a message: "I will continue to help you until you can fully master the Gate of Life."

Chen Ying'er looked into Xingyuan's eyes, and after a long while she managed to utter a word, "... Yeah."

"Any other questions?" Xingyuan asked with some confusion.

"It's not a very important issue..."

At this point, Chen Ying'er was still thinking about retreating, but she didn't know who had done something to her that cut off all her tightly entangled emotions, and the words hidden in her heart suddenly came out.

"Xingyuan, why are you so nice to me?"

Xingyuan: “……?”

After Chen Ying'er said this, she just stood there, as if she hadn't figured out why she had just said this.

But now that things have come to a point, Chen Ying'er, who saw the helpless expression on Xingyuan's face for the first time, felt for no reason in her heart that if she still hid her feelings for Xingyuan, she would probably never have such an opportunity again in her life.

"Do you know I like you?"

Is it a straight ball right from the start?
Chen Ying'er's straight ball also knocked Xingyuan unconscious. Now it was his turn to stammer and be unable to speak for a long time.

Although this was not the first time a girl confessed to him, those girls were not very familiar with Xingyuan, so he had no pressure in rejecting them and felt no emotion inside.

But Chen Ying'er is different. Who knows if he rejects this girl, she will just give up on herself and never recover from it?
The little pig held in Xingyuan's arms is a rare beast, especially after absorbing the essence and blood of the Soul Saint Chen Ying'er and signing a natal summoned beast contract with her, so its intelligence is naturally very high.

The reason why it stopped humming when the two sat down to talk was because it understood what they were talking about.

Thinking that such a gentle, kind and fragrant human being might become his male master, the piglet was very happy and rubbed his head against Xingyuan, as if urging him to quickly agree to his master's request. Xingyuan: "..."

What's wrong with you pig?

"I think I should have been very obvious..."

Seeing Xingyuan's embarrassment, Chen Ying'er, who was the instigator of this matter, stopped pressing and gave in, saying, "I know you already have Cai'er and can't respond to my feelings... I just want to know, if you hadn't met Cai'er but met me instead, would you have considered me?"

Where do so many ifs come from?

Xingyuan felt like his whole body was going numb, "Well..."

"Is it because I was Yang Wenzhao's fiancée before?"

Now that she had confessed, Chen Ying'er had no more worries and she threw out all the doubts that had been accumulating in her heart in one breath.

"He never touched me once."

Chen Ying'er looked into Xingyuan's eyes and said, "Since he was five years old, he hasn't even touched my hand."

"Wait, you're changing the subject too quickly..."

Xingyuan thought, what's going on here? What's wrong with this girl Chen Ying'er?

Usually he is either like a dumb person, unable to say a word for a long time, or like a gas tank that catches fire at the slightest touch.

"Because if I don't say these words now, I won't be able to say them later."

Chen Ying'er obviously knew that she was acting on momentary emotional impulse and could say such shameless words to Xingyuan.

After all, if she were her usual self, she would never dare to talk to Xingyuan about these things.

"If you don't believe it, come and check it out." Chen Ying'er said as she stood up from her seat and sat next to Xingyuan.

"puff--"

Now not only Xingyuan was confused, but even the little pig in his arms was confused.

It never occurred to it that its master would work so hard to make the man in front of it its master.

"Chen Ying'er, don't be like this..."

Xingyuan moved his hips and distanced himself from her by half a body. “That’s not what I meant.”

This was the first time in Chen Ying'er's history that she had the upper hand in her communication with Xing Yuan, even though it was under such an embarrassing situation...

Chen Ying'er had never thought that such embarrassing words would come out of her mouth, but now that things had come to this, if she continued to back down, wouldn't everything she did today become a joke?

"Xingyuan."

Chen Ying'er came a little closer, her heavy breath almost spraying on his face. "Yes, you are very beautiful, but I, Chen Ying'er, shouldn't be bad either, right?" (End of this chapter)
