Chapter 77: Chapter 65 I’ll Just Hold It Without Moving (5000 words for monthly ticket)

Catherine’s mouth hung open, and she was completely dumbfounded; the words from Qin Chu had shocked her.

Jealous of Jie Luo? What did that mean, did this man like me?

Especially seeing Qin Chu’s face filled with sorrow, it felt very likely to her.

A jumble of thoughts rushed into her head, effectively causing Catherine’s brain to crash.

If any other man dared to speak to her like that, Catherine would have definitely slapped him, thinking, "You think you’re worthy to compare to Jie Luo?"

Even if some man said he liked her, she would not have been happy at all but would have felt disgusted... Although no man had ever said such things to her before.

But now, inexplicably, Catherine was just overwhelmed with confusion, and surprisingly, not too repulsed.

The inner turmoil made Catherine panic; she didn’t know how to respond and subconsciously fumbled on her person, wanting to drink some alcohol to calm her nerves.

However, the moment she picked up the bottle, her face instantly became embarrassed as she remembered the vow she had made to Rose Vesper to quit drinking.

"Don’t drink anymore, alcohol harms the body and can lead to mistakes,"

"If you want to drink, then have some water; there’s some right over there," Qin Chu said with a helpless smile and pointed to a spot next to Catherine.

Catherine silently walked over, poured herself a glass of water, and, feeling somewhat irritated, brought it to her lips. Yet she hesitated, unsure if the cup had been used by Qin Chu and, moreover, whether the water was...

"Oh, right, pour me a glass as well, thanks..." Qin Chu said.

Seeing that the cup was already at her lips, Catherine put it down, picked up another cup, and poured a glass for Qin Chu before carrying it over with both hands.

Just as she got close, Qin Chu suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Catherine’s slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

In that moment, his arms were filled with her delicate fragrance and warm softness.

Catherine was startled by Qin Chu’s move and almost spilled the water in her tremor.

Thankfully, her prior experiences had prepared her, and she didn’t fly off the handle immediately, managing to restrain herself.

But the panic inside her was unprecedentedly intense, her heart thundered, and her athletic body tensed within Qin Chu’s embrace as she struggled, "Qin Chu, what... what are you doing?"

"This isn’t right, we’ve missed one chance already, we can’t do this again."

Although under Rose Vesper’s guidance, Catherine had braced herself for such an occurrence again, when the moment actually arrived, she couldn’t help but feel some resistance...no, was it fear?

At this time, Catherine lost all her Valkyrie composure and was simply a frightened girl.

In her extreme panic, Catherine didn’t notice, nor could she see, that Shaye had appeared on the other side.

Qin Chu didn’t let go because of Catherine’s struggling, but just buried his face on her flat stomach as if feeling Catherine’s warmth.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything,"

"Just being able to embrace you is already a great honor, how could I dare ask for more?"

"All I wanted was a hug, can’t you even grant me that?"

Catherine was confused. After all, she had done such terrible things to Qin Chu; letting him hug her should... should be okay, right?

It was...just compensation.

Catherine herself didn’t realize that although she was panicking, she didn’t reject Qin Chu’s touch too much. Her face flushed red; she silently watched the man, much younger than her, holding onto her waist.

Her heart almost burst out of her chest.

"You can only hold me, but don’t move around..." Catherine said softly.

"I promise I won’t move..."

The hug lasted only a few seconds, and Qin Chu soon released Catherine, taking the cup from her hand and downing the water in one gulp.

The moment he let go, Catherine felt an inexplicable sense of loss... after all, although she liked Jie Luo, he had never confessed his liking for her, nor had he ever been so intimate with her.

Qin Chu was the first, and the only one.

Then Catherine shook her head vigorously, this wasn’t right, why was she always comparing Qin Chu with Jie Luo?

She returned somewhat flustered, picked up the cup from the ground, and finished it in one gulp.

Sweet.

This time, Shaye didn’t add the Power of Strong Desire to the mix, having discovered from the first experiment that it was easy to lose control with added Power.

Shaye only enhanced the effect of affection.

"I’ll continue my cultivation,"

Qin Chu was undoubtedly a gentleman; he said he would only hug, and that’s all he did, with no other untoward actions. Even the hug itself was brief, lasting only a few seconds, and he seemed content with that.

Catherine looked on in a daze as Qin Chu sat back down cross-legged and continued to cultivate his Star Flame Fighting Energy. To this man, just embracing her seemed to be enough.

What... what was this all about?

Catherine was somewhat irritable in her heart, torn within herself, with Jie Luo on one side, and on the other the expectation to use her body to tempt the Hero. Was she really going to do such a thing?
