deadly mantra

Chapter 184 is more binding than an oath

Amidst the patter of rain, a figure quickly ran across the Fuyu Bridge and rushed into the pavilion.

Bao Simu's eyes suddenly brightened, thinking that Shui Qingchen had gone and returned, but when she saw who it was, her eyes darkened dully.

Ji Fanyin's hair was wet and stuck to her face, but she didn't look embarrassed. Instead, she looked a little cute.

Bao Simu looked at her in a daze, feeling that if he were a man, he would definitely like Ji Fanyin.

But she is not.

Ji Fanyin turned her back to Bao Simu, looked at the heavy rain, and muttered:

"It's weird, it rained so heavily suddenly, and I almost got wet."

She turned around and saw that only Bao Simu was there, and asked casually:

"Baozi, where is Chenchen?"

Bao Simu stared at Ji Fanyin's face slightly dazed, thinking: If there was no one named Ji Fanyin in this world, Shui Qingchen would fall in love with him.

Ji Fanyin raised her eyebrows strangely, and her tone became slightly heavier:

"steamed stuffed bun?"

Bao Simu's heart trembled, and the terrible thoughts in his heart were instantly dispersed. His eyelashes blinked violently a few times, and he raised his head in panic.

Her weird appearance attracted Ji Fanyin to take a few more glances:

"Why are you dazed? Where is Chenchen?"

"Master Shui...?" Bao Simu's face turned pale and he looked at Ji Fanyin silently, jealousy and unwillingness secretly surging in his heart.

Ji Fanyin walked to the table, picked up the gold-sprinkled rice paper with a little fox painted on it, and couldn't help but smile:
"This was painted by Chenchen, where are the others?"

Bao Simu turned to look outside the pavilion, avoiding the chance of contacting Ji Fanyin's eyes, and said stiffly:

"I was very uncomfortable and cold, so he went to... get me some clothes."

Ji Fanyin paused for a moment, then slowly placed the golden rice paper on the table and glanced at Bao Simu.

Bao Simu slowed down his breathing nervously.There was a stiffness between the two of them.

Outside the pavilion, the wind was blowing loudly and the rain was falling.

For a long time.

Ji Fanyin nodded and said:
"Oh. How long has he been gone?"

She believed it, but Bao Simu didn't relax at all. Instead, he tightened his sleeves even more nervously, swallowed, and said:
"Will you promise me fair competition?"

Ji Fanyin shook her head and said frankly:
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't. But because it's you, I can make an exception and give in."

Bao Simu turned around in surprise, stared into Ji Fanyin's eyes, not believing what she said, and said in an almost aggressive tone:

"Can I believe what you say! You swear, you swear you didn't lie to me."

Ji Fanyin's lips curved into a smile:
“Oaths, in the final analysis, only serve to restrain each other.

In this life, I, Ji Fanyin, only follow my heart and do things with only consideration for gains and losses.

Seven kingdoms and eight capitals, in this vast world, I have never been afraid of anything.

You want me to swear, what should I swear by? What should I swear by?What kind of oath can bind me?
Bun, that oath thing doesn't work for me.

I am willing to give in, not because of you, but for Chenchen. For him, I can force myself.But it's just barely, do you understand? "

Bao Simu looked a little angry and coughed and said:

"You don't even dare to swear, how dare you say you like it!"

Ji Fanyin suddenly laughed:
"Bao Simu, I'm afraid you are sick and confused. If you can see clearly whether a person is sincere after taking an oath, there won't be so many people in the world who always give up and succeed."

Bao Simu's face turned red from suppressing it, and he said anxiously:

"You are arrogant! After all, you still dare not swear."

Ji Fanyin rolled her eyes speechlessly, and suddenly felt like she was talking to a duck, so she said:
"It's not a good idea, so let's stop talking."
