What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

“…” An Chen didn’t speak.

He felt like his arm might have been dislocated...

"Although I might be a bit troublesome and have an awkward personality..." Jiuge continued.

Even though many people like her, Jiuge's first reaction when she actually meets someone she likes is still a lack of confidence.

An Chen remained silent.

"And... even if you date me... it won't embarrass you..." Jiu Ge's voice grew softer and softer.

She glanced tentatively at An Chen, then lowered her head again.

“…” An Chen remained silent, without even a trace of expression.

"You said I'm special, didn't you?" Jiuge's voice trembled.

"I really like you so much..." The next moment, her tears started falling.

"I really, really like you..."

That's it, I've said it outright.

Seeing that An Chen made no comment, Jiu Ge's defenses completely crumbled.

The air was frozen, and time seemed to stand still.

For a long time, apart from Jiu Ge's sobs, the two of them could hear nothing else.

Were you serious about what you just said?

After a long pause, An Chen finally spoke.

"Mmm." Jiuge nodded, then wiped her tears with the back of her free hand.

She glanced at An Chen cautiously again, then lowered her head once more.

“Then, my answer is…” An Chen said with a serious expression.

"?" Jiuge looked up again, her eyes still blurry with tears.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

“I like you too.” An Chen smiled.

Ignoring Jiu Ge's stunned reaction, he pulled her into his arms.

……

In the taxi, An Chen and Jiu Ge sat in the back seat, behaving with mutual respect.

There was a space of about one and a half people between the two.

After confessing their feelings and hugging for a short while, the atmosphere became awkward because of Jiu Ge's exaggeratedly shy reaction.

She kept glancing warily at An Chen and refused to hold his hand anymore. Jiu Ge now felt like a little white rabbit encountering a big bad wolf when facing An Chen.

There was a driver in the taxi, so An Chen couldn't force the issue.

"We still need to go to Jingcheng to submit a mission report." After driving for ten minutes, Jiuge finally uttered her first words.

“Yes, you said that when we took a taxi.” An Chen nodded.

This situation... it feels like it would have been better not to confess at all.

"Mmm." Jiuge echoed with a "Mmm."

Immediately afterwards, she covered her face with her hands.

I have absolutely no idea what to say...

Jiuge originally intended to look out the window pretending to admire the scenery, but there were just too many spirits outside...

An Chen was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I want to confirm something..."

"Confirm...confirm what?" Jiuge moved her hands away, her breathing becoming rapid again.

She was pleasantly surprised when An Chen told her he liked her and hugged her.

However, because they were too shy, the two did not hug for long before Jiu Ge accidentally pushed An Chen away.

In front of her, An Chen was pushed back several meters.

It was a great opportunity, and something more intimate could have happened, but it was all ruined by her shyness and the resulting mistake...

In short, at this moment, Jiuge's mind went blank due to excessive shyness and the mistake she made, and all her actions became reactive.

"What kind of relationship do we have now?" An Chen's expression was somewhat subtle.

Normally, if someone confesses their feelings and they like each other, they should be considered a couple.

But Jiuge's reaction was definitely abnormal.

"..." Jiuge remained silent.

An Chen remained silent.

After asking that question, the atmosphere in the car became even more awkward.

The driver, sensing the commotion, kept his ears perked up and constantly checked the situation in the rearview mirror while driving.

“?” An Chen moved closer to Jiu Ge.

"?" Jiuge subconsciously moved towards the car door as well.

She was already next to the car door, and if she moved any further to the side, Jiuge's entire body would be pressed against the car door.

An Chen pressed his head close to Jiu Ge's ear.

He mischievously blew a breath into Jiuge's ear and asked again in a low voice, "What is our relationship now?"

“Eek…it’s…it’s my boyfriend…my boyfriend!” Jiuge’s voice became very loud when she said the words “boyfriend and girlfriend”.

"Pfft." The driver sitting in the front seat couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He coughed, pretending that he was driving carefully and that it was an accident.

Jiuge's face turned bright red again.

An Chen smiled softly as well.

"Then come here."

He moved it to the center and patted the spot next to it, signaling Jiuge to move over.

"..." Jiu Ge nodded silently, stiffly moving her body next to An Chen.

An Chen smiled with satisfaction and reached out to put his arm around Jiu Ge's waist.

“Alas…” Jiuge’s body trembled.

After hesitating for a moment, she casually leaned her body against An Chen.

Feeling Jiuge's soft body moving closer to him, An Chen didn't move or say anything, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

As expected, Jiuge is just too cute!

Chapter 111 Testing

Back in Jingcheng, Jiuge blushed and got out of the car before An Chen.

After uttering that strange "996" incantation, she and An Chen returned to the dark room where they had previously held a meeting.

"Bang bang bang."

Old Huang and the knight who was fiddling with a sack of stones on the ground were still waiting in the house.

The knight's armor clashed repeatedly with the small stones, the sound echoing throughout the room.

There was no one else in the house besides the two of them.

The moment he saw An Chen, Huang Lao Er threw his cane at him without saying a word.

As it ascended into the air, the cane turned black.

The knight turned his head and stopped fiddling with the stone.

"Be careful."

Seeing the cane flying towards her, Jiuge immediately grabbed An Chen's arm, ready to pull him away.

No matter how hard she tried, An Chen didn't budge.

The cane used by Elder Huang was infused with special spiritual power by the people above. When it turns black, it is equivalent to Elder Huang activating a life-saving mode for times of crisis, and it has a strong ability to break through spiritual energy.

The stronger the person's abilities, the stronger the spirit-breaking power emitted by the black cane.

It doesn't damage the psychic's body, but rather their spiritual energy.

If the person has extremely strong spiritual power, there will be a certain degree of dizziness, and there is a 70% chance that the spiritual power will leak out. If the person has weak spiritual power, there is a 100% chance that the person will faint on the spot. If the person is an ordinary person, they will just be hit by an ordinary cane.

While it may not be able to kill anyone, its short-term dizziness can knock out at least ten elephants. A weak enough psychic who takes an attack from a cane can be hospitalized in a vegetative state for a month.

Jiuge didn't want her boyfriend to get into trouble so soon after they started dating.

An Chen looked up.

He chuckled softly and reached out to catch the black cane.

There was no dizziness or fainting.

He looked at it from all angles, as if it were something new and interesting.

"..." Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just thought that An Chen was about to leak his spiritual power and reveal his strength.

If it really comes to that, Jiuge won't know how to cover for An Chen.

Although she felt a little relieved, she still felt it was a bit outrageous.

Just how powerful must An Chen be to remain completely unresponsive?

I encountered a similar situation when I tested his spiritual power before.

And how is Jiuge supposed to explain this phenomenon to Elder Huang now?
