Chapter 189: The Last Time

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: The Last Time

This version of him, apart from the time when Luoluo’s cat went missing and triggered Luoluo’s second personality...

She hadn’t seen him like this since then.

Such close proximity, such intimate gestures.

It felt as though her body had stiffened entirely. Xia Xiyan remained motionless.

"Hey, Xia Xiyan..." Ou Jue suddenly raised his head, his nose tip almost brushing against hers.

The distance between them—if either of them moved slightly forward—would close into a kiss.

"W-What?" Xiyan stammered nervously, her breaths mingling ambiguously with his.

His eyes were so deep, like the vast universe, shimmering with an expression Xiyan couldn’t decipher.

"Do you like Qianze?"

What kind of question is that?

Xiyan was completely stunned.

Before she could respond, Ou Jue murmured again in the next second, "Do you... like me?"

Oh my god! Was Ou Jue teasing her on purpose?

Ahhhhh, her heart had never raced this fast before!

This Demon King—was he setting a trap for her to fall into?

Trying to lure her into confessing first?

Hmph, how cunning!

I-I-I... Of course I like you.

Even though you always have that emotionless face, love to bicker, and have a domineering personality that’s not cute at all...

But I still really, really like you.

Inside, Xiyan was screaming with all her might. She parted her lips slightly.

Yet Ou Jue’s slender hand pressed against her lips, stopping the words she was about to say.

"Listen to me."

Everyone else had fallen asleep, worn out from the journey.

The car played lazy blues in the background, the atmosphere charged with an understated intimacy.

Ou Jue turned his handsome profile toward her, his hand lightly caressing the side of her face, his voice husky and low: "Even though you always seem clumsy to me, you’re also the strongest girl I’ve ever met—strong enough that it makes me want to give you the best things in the world. Even though I’m constantly scolding you, I can’t stand watching anyone else bully you. Tell me, why do you think that is?"

Xiyan let out two awkward chuckles, deliberately joking to probe his thoughts, "Isn’t it obvious? You’ve fallen for me!"

"Hah..." Ou Jue lowered his head and laughed.

His laughter was captivating, enchanting.

Like fireworks, lighting up the entire night sky.

He didn’t deny it, but suddenly withdrew his hand and reclined back into his seat.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Xiyan poked his arm with her finger.

Ou Jue closed his eyes and ignored her, looking as though he had fallen into a deep sleep.

What the heck.

Flirting and then running away?

-

The next day, early morning.

Xiyan could honestly say that she was so stirred up by what Ou Jue had said last night that she hadn’t slept well all night!

Ou Jue liked her too, didn’t he?

He must, or else he wouldn’t have said something like that!

This tsundere—if you like me, then just confess already!

Xiyan was feeling so impatient.

She woke up early and took out the great inheritance left behind by Zeyu when he last visited—the electric oven.

She baked a ton of cookies, planning to give them to Luoluo when she visited the Ou Family this afternoon.

Glancing at the clock, she realized it was about time for Ou Jue to come pick her up.

Xiyan grabbed her backpack, took the cookies she’d made, and ran outside.

Sure enough, she spotted Ou Jue’s car parked not far away.

Xiyan climbed into the car, smiling brightly, and said, "Have you been waiting long? I made cookies today—want to try some?"

Ou Jue cast her a glance before retracting his gaze and looking straight ahead. "Xia Xiyan."

"What’s wrong?"

He hesitated for a moment but still spoke, his tone cold, "This will be the last time I pick you up for school."

Xiyan’s smile froze instantly on her face.
