Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 669: Playing dumb

Jian Rou was silent at first, and was silent for a moment. Then, still with her head down, she said softly, "Are you really unwilling to walk with me for a while? You don't know where I'm going, so how do you know it's definitely not on my way?" Her voice was obviously filled with tears.

Wu Xunsheng could tell she was crying and understood that it would be no good for him to provoke her, but he didn't want to have much contact with her, so he expressed his thoughts in a way that he thought she might be more receptive to. He said, "Jian Yueyang, it's not very comfortable for you to walk a long distance in this dress, so... actually... you don't have to walk so far with me..."

Jian Rou raised her head, and she burst into laughter with tears on her face, saying: "So you didn't want me to go with you because of me! This is so great! You... you have me in your heart, right?" She was actually thinking in her heart: Wu Xunsheng, you have so many tricks up your sleeve, and you can actually use this reason to drive me away. I don't need to think too much to know that you want to leave alone as soon as possible. In fact, I am too lazy to waste time with you, but I can't let you leave now, otherwise what about my plan with my brother! In fact, I don't want to go with you more than you do, but who asked me to complete the mission. Hehe, then I will follow your words and ask you if you have me in your heart, and see how you answer.

Wu Xunsheng looked around and said, "It's really not very convenient to walk in this kind of clothes, isn't it?"

Jian Rou thought: He avoided my question so easily. If I ask again, what can he do? Forget it. I have given him the letter. There is no need to rush to ask again, lest I have a counter-effect on the development of the situation due to haste. I should pay attention to what to do first. Since he said that the clothes are not very convenient for walking, I will take this opportunity to express my love to him again, but before that, I should let him walk on the path first.

She asked in a tender voice: "Let's walk together first, and then talk, okay?"

Wu Xunsheng was originally worried that he would ask him again whether he had her in his heart, but when he heard her talk about something else, he felt relieved and immediately said, "I'll listen to you and take the small road."

After Jian Rou said "hmm", she walked side by side with Wu Xunsheng on the path, saying as she walked: "I do feel a little restrained when I walk in this kind of clothes. But... today... I wore this dress just to see you." What she was actually thinking: How could I, Jian Rou, be willing to do such a boring and stupid thing to wear something that is not worthy of being called clothes just because I like someone! There is no other way. For the mission, I will sacrifice myself and act like a fool! But think about it, it is a shame for me to let someone mistakenly think that I would do such a ridiculous and superficial thing. I can't care so much. My father taught me since I was a child that I should be flexible and use any means to achieve my goals. It's shameful, I will endure it.

Wu Xunsheng said: "How dare I accept this!"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I like you, so naturally... I just did it." Jian Rou said.

Wu Xunsheng thought: What a coincidence, she has no idea how much I dislike this kind of behavior. Wearing restrictive clothes just to please others is something I can't do, and I can't understand people who do this.

He said slowly: "Jian Yueyang will still..."

"Or what?" Jian Rou asked, looking at his profile.

Wu Xunsheng thought for a moment and said, "It's better not to wrong yourself like this."
