TSFLIP Chapter 136

“You hate me but still want to walk together. Does that feel comfortable for you?” Feng Guang looked at him as if to say, “Are you out of your mind?” “Back when we first met, you had ill intentions toward me, and then…”

Ren Wuxing replied flatly, “Can you use a different phrase instead of ‘ill intentions’? That could lead someone to misunderstand that I’m interested in you.”

“Then… how about ‘plotting something sinister’!”

“…” Forget it; let’s not even go there.

Feng Guang reorganized her thoughts and said, “When we first met, you had ulterior motives. Although I defeated you with my cleverness, it was only because you tried to snatch the silver-white squirrel from me first.” Just thinking about the silver-white squirrel made her heartache. “And that squirrel had entered my backpack, yet suddenly disappeared! The GM (Game Master) even accused me of lying! How could such a rare herb and pet just vanish?”

As she spoke, she felt like crying. Her fair, delicate face scrunched up with grievance, looking pitiful. Ren Wuxing swallowed hard and, after a moment, said without any sympathy, “I don’t know.”

“Of course, you wouldn’t know.”

Then why did you even ask me? Ren Wuxing was speechless.

She stomped her foot, pouting as she mumbled, “I had the silver-white squirrel. I didn’t lie! You saw it too, didn’t you?”

“Hmm.” He nodded.

“See! It must have been the GM slacking off and brushing off my question. My silver-white squirrel… my silver-white squirrel…” She blinked, her heart aching. How could something so precious disappear from her bag?

Ren Wuxing felt a headache coming on as he faced this pitiful girl for the first time. “If it’s gone, just go catch another one.”

“You say that so lightly! If silver-white squirrels were that easy to catch, everyone would have one! Would I need to feel this heartache?” She looked up at his expressionless face beneath the hood and pursed her lips. “Forget it; it’s useless to talk to you about this anyway. You probably enjoy watching my misfortune.”

She stopped dwelling on it, and Ren Wuxing sighed in relief. Feng Guang didn’t realize that her previous behavior seemed a bit like acting cute. He noticed, but he wished he hadn’t, as his mind was racing with thoughts about why a girl acting cute could be so endearing.

Perhaps he could simply replace the words “girl” with “her.”

“Let’s return to our topic,” she said, putting on a serious face to display her earnestness.

She seemed even cuter…

Ren Wuxing silently lowered his gaze.

“On our second meeting, I greeted you friendly, but you still coldly killed me. Fine, even if you killed me this time as revenge for the first time I killed you, but during the third time, I had just rescued a little flower from evil forces, and in the blink of an eye, you killed me again.” In the end, she concluded, “So you hate me… no, you absolutely hate me.”

Ren Wuxing said, “You’re going on and on just to arrive at the answer I’ve already told you.”

“So, I don’t understand. If you hate me, you could have just stabbed me with your sword and left me here. Then you wouldn’t have to see me again.”

“Do you want me to kill you?” Ren Wuxing slightly unsheathed his sword.

Feng Guang quickly pressed down on his hand that gripped the sword hilt. “Wait, don’t be impulsive! I’m just asking you a few questions!”

Her cowardly demeanor made it hard for him to act.

Suddenly, Ren Wuxing grabbed her shoulders and pinned her against the wall, leaning in close to her face. He lowered his voice, “One second, Miss.”

Feng Guang shivered slightly. The way he treated her felt a bit suggestive.

He said, “I truly do hate you.”

Feng Guang gasped, “Huh?”

She knew he hated her, but did he need to make such an ambiguous gesture to say it?

There was no need for that; he simply had a sudden surge of interest. The mischievous voice in his mind, which had never existed before, was ringing in his ears. He did hate her, but he had never expressed just how much.
