Huh?” Lou Qianxue instantly woke up. “Dan Taiyuan!”
“I had specially asked him to read a few more books earlier. I didn’t expect him to come again in just two days.”
“I wonder what he will do this time…”
Lou Qianxue hugged her quilt, got up, tapped her finger, and lit the candles.
Ceng!
The house instantly became bright.
Although the man who had walked over from the light had flawless features, his face was expressionless. Dressed in white clothes, he appeared cold and out-of-the-world. His body exuded a repelling and distant aura. It made him look like an unpopular ice sculpture.
Lou Qianxue turned her head sideways and stared at him. “Are you prepared?”
Dan Taiyuan’s expression slightly changed.
When Lou Qianxue saw the tiredness in his eyes, she could not help herself from holding her breath. “You… Have you been reading since yesterday?”
“Yeah.” His cold voice contained a tinge of hoarseness.
Lou Qianxue straightened her body. “Are you ill?”
Dan Taiyuan frowned and shook his head. He sat beside Lou Qianxue’s bed. However, his black, cold, clear, and crystal-like eyes were devoid of emotions as he stared straight at her. “I don’t like to read.”
“Oh?” Lou Qianxue curiously looked at him.
“The methods in the books go against my will and even suggest that I intentionally tell lies. I don’t like it.”
“What exactly did you read?”
“The book recommended by the person in charge of the book shop, a story book.”
“A story book? Everything inside it is fake.”
“Qianxue.” Dan Taiyuan suddenly spoke.
“Huh?”
“You’re very beautiful.”
“Uh…”
“So beautiful that you’ve moved my heart. If I don’t see you for a day, I feel like three autumns have passed. I yearn for you day and night, and I can’t eat…”
“!!!” Lou Qianxue stared widely at Dan Taiyuan’s expressionless face as she heard him say strange ‘words of love’ in his cold voice. “You’re really ill?”
Dan Taiyuan instantly stopped talking.
More emotions appeared in his eyes, which had a tinge of critique. “Look, the book says that praising a woman will make her happy, but you aren’t happy. Therefore, the words written in the book are a lie.”
“…” This was the reason you said those words?
These words… they sounded decent on the surface, but… they lacked the most important thing, the ‘heart’.
“Forget it. Let’s put an end to the earlier matter… Huh? What’s this?”
A sweet fragrance suddenly permeated the room, and Lou Qianxue’s expression changed.
“For you.” Dan Taiyuan took out a greasy paper bag. “People outside say that this is what girls like the most. When they see this, they’ll definitely be happy.”
“…” Lou Qianxue looked at Dan Taiyuan’s slender and strong fingers.
She knew that when this hand held a tenth-grade Spirit Item, he could practically separate heaven from earth.
Even if he did not hold any Spirit Item, with just a shake of his sleeves, he could kill an extraordinary expert in seconds.
However, at this moment, he was holding a greasy pastry.
She followed his fingers and looked up.
Dan Taiyuan’s white robe was stained with a heap of oil. It was extremely conspicuous, and also extremely… funny.
An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
As Lou Qianxue looked at that bag of pastries again, the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
Raising her bright and beautiful eyes, she looked at that man with cold, merciless, but clear eyes like a child’s. Her heartbeat became more intense.
She stretched her hand out and covered his palm as she took the greasy paper bag. “Dan Taiyuan, you win.”
At this moment.
She suddenly understood.
Dan Taiyuan was Dan Taiyuan. He could not become someone else, but he was someone with a ‘heart.’ Even though he was full of jokes earlier and even used ‘dishonest means’ to make her laugh, in reality, all these could not cover the fact that he was pleasing her.
Regardless of his state of mind or desires, he was really using practical actions to please her! storybook
