TSFLIP Chapter 634

Fengguang was stunned for a moment. “I’m not blind… I just have a bit of nearsightedness…”

“That’s called being severely nearsighted.”

“Yun Ji… do you have to talk to me like that?” Her tone began to sharpen.

Yun Ji smiled. “I’m just suddenly wondering if there’s something wrong with your brain.”

“If my brain doesn’t work, how did I get into the best university in A City?”

“If your brain did work, you wouldn’t still like me after seeing what I look like.”

“Well, what if I do like you?!” she shouted. “If you had shown up from the beginning looking like you do now, maybe I wouldn’t have fallen for you. But the fact is, I already like you! Even if you showed up with a hideous face, I’d still like you!”

Yun Ji went silent for a long time. Long enough that Fengguang realized what she had just blurted out. She let out a soft whimper and immediately covered her mouth, wondering how she’d let her true feelings spill out in a moment of panic.

Suddenly, he said, “Xia Fengguang, are you seriously out of your mind? I’m a demon. You’re human. If you stay with me, you’ll be punished by heaven.”

“Then I just won’t have kids…” she blurted out without thinking. Seeing the amused raise of his eyebrow, her face turned even redder. She quickly turned away to face the white wall. “I was just talking nonsense… I wasn’t thinking about having kids with you, okay? Don’t get the wrong idea!”

Yun Ji was a clever man. He knew his masked face could easily deceive women. From the beginning, he’d been aware that Fengguang had feelings for him… and how far those feelings would go depended entirely on the choices he made.

He stared at her back for a long while, his expression unreadable. Finally, he said, “Let me walk you home.”

“…Okay.” She slowly turned around, head lowered, still not daring to meet his gaze.

Yun Ji raised his hand, as if to pat her head, but in the end, he let it fall back to his side. He said softly, “Let’s go.”

She obediently followed beside him, not even thinking about how messy the stairwell still was or what someone might say if they saw it in the morning.

Yun Ji walked her back to her apartment building. The whole way there, neither of them spoke. But when it came time to part, not saying anything felt too awkward.

Fengguang hesitated, then looked up at him cautiously. “Do you… want to come up for a bit?”

“No.” Yun Ji’s face had already returned to its flawless, handsome form. He looked down at her, making her feel completely uneasy under his gaze. Only then did he speak: “Honestly, I’ve always thought you’re kind of dumb.”

“…Huh?” She looked up, confused.

“But sometimes… your dumbness is pretty cute.”

Her expression twisted. Was she supposed to be happy about that… or offended?

Yun Ji chuckled lightly. “See? Whatever you’re thinking always shows on your face.”

“…That just means I’m honest, inside and out!”

“Yeah. Honest, inside and out.” But he could never be that way. A flicker of complexity passed through Yun Ji’s eyes. “Xia Fengguang, don’t trust me too much.”

Even as he said it, he surprised himself.

Naturally, she asked, “Why not?”

Yun Ji gave her a half-smile. “Because I’m not a good person.”

“Of course you’re not. You’re a demon.”

“If that’s how you want to see it… sure.”
Yes, he was a demon—one who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
