Chapter 344: Chapter 248. Probability (Goal of 8000 words completed!)

The smile on Shen Gu Mirai’s face froze.

The intricate journey of her thoughts was as follows:

Hmm...

Hmm...

Hmm?????

She struggled to part her cherry-pink lips, and it took a very long time before she barely managed to respond, "Mr. Temple... what did you just... say?"

I hope it was just a hallucination!

Shen Gu Mirai screamed internally.

That’s right, with Beichuan Si looking so calm, how could he possibly say something like that?

Even Mr. Temple shouldn’t—

"In fact, I have also analyzed it," Beichuan Si said, looking at Shen Gu Mirai and pulling out a small booklet from the other side.

Just as Shen Gu Mirai had a notebook for investigating supernatural tales, Beichuan Si similarly had a booklet which recorded the favors he owed and various commissions.

In it, the frequency of Shen Gu Mirai’s appearances was the highest.

After all, Beichuan Si had asked Shen Gu Mirai to take care of his Salty Egg Sister more than once.

And Shen Gu Mirai often helped him with some supernatural tales’ information.

So, it was quite normal that there were many favors recorded for Shen Gu Mirai.

Moreover, with Shen Gu Mirai’s life-risking actions for Beichuan Hui Li yesterday, Beichuan Si had marked it with a sign of significant attention.

Yes, there were many things Beichuan Si didn’t say, but this didn’t mean he truly forgot the people who had done him favors.

Beichuan Si would repay these favors bit by bit with his own abilities.

But Shen Gu Mirai was different.

This young girl seemed to help him without even thinking of the pros and cons.

It felt like if Beichuan Si accidentally killed someone one day, this young girl wouldn’t report him; instead, she would cover for him outside and even hand him the knife.

This analogy might be somewhat inappropriate, but it was the truth.

So what could possibly make Shen Gu Mirai go to such lengths?

Beichuan Si used his brain to figure out the answer.

The likelihood was that Shen Gu Mirai had a fondness for him.

In fact, he noticed it about one or two weeks ago; only Shen Gu Mirai didn’t say it, and he wouldn’t ask.

Because asking would also have its downsides.

What if Shen Gu Mirai truly felt nothing for him, and it was all his one-sided thoughts?

Beichuan Si wasn’t the type who thought a girl liked him just because she brought him breakfast twice.

But still—

She had brought breakfast far too often... It was hard not to think that way.

Beichuan Si came up to Shen Gu Mirai, who was trembling, her face turning red, and too scared to say a word, and asked again, "Do you like me?"

"I..." Shen Gu Mirai’s mouth moved, and her rationality clashed with her emotions like planets in her mind!

Then—

She felt her face being lifted by Beichuan Si’s hands from both cheeks, directly facing his face.

Gulp—

Shen Gu Mirai swallowed hard.

Beichuan Si spoke calmly, "Look at the person when you talk and say your answer."

This voice, no different from usual, made Shen Gu Mirai feel weak all over.

Her rationality was overwhelmed, with only pure emotion spinning in her head.

After a while, she managed to turn her gaze to one side and hesitantly nodded, "...I... I like Mr. Temple."

"I really like Mr. Temple a lot..."

After she said this, she felt too ashamed to face Beichuan Si, simply closing her eyes and making a ’gurgling’ noise in her throat.

But Beichuan Si didn’t say much else.

He put down Shen Gu Mirai’s cheeks and sat back on the sofa, his expression changing, pondering something.

After a long while, Beichuan Si’s face softened a bit and he waved to Shen Gu Mirai, signaling her to sit next to him.

Shen Gu Mirai hesitated, but obediently sat down next to Beichuan Si.

Her shoulder leaned against Beichuan Si’s shoulder, feeling a bit hot... searing...

Shen Gu Mirai was undeniably a cute girl.

Not fat nor thin, her chest might not be as impressive as Tsukishima Risa’s, who could handle two bubble teas, but it was substantial.

Especially her big eyes. Those black, sparkling eyes were uniquely lustrous, like peonies when she stood, like moutan when she sat.

It was such a young girl who had a liking for...

"Are you very nervous?"

Feeling the tremble in Shen Gu Mirai’s shoulders, Beichuan Si asked with concern.

Mr. Temple! Stop talking nonsense!!!!

Shen Gu Mirai’s heart was trembling, she breathed deeply again and again but couldn’t calm down.

Her normally useful brain just wouldn’t work.

It was filled with all sorts of messy thoughts.

I can’t... I just want to lean on Mr. Temple like this...

But I can’t.

I still need to say something...

Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth, just about to say something—

She widened her beautiful big eyes.

Because she felt Beichuan Si grabbing her hand.

To be precise... it was her fist. Because she was so extremely nervous, Beichuan Si could only cover her clenched fist with his hand.

I’m so stupid!!!

Why can I be this stupid?!

How can I be this stupid?

I used to pretend to be Mr. Temple’s girlfriend so skillfully! Now I can’t even say a word?! Shen Gu Mirai, I beg you to have some self-respect!

Shen Gu Mirai was filled with grief and indignation, but she didn’t want Beichuan Si to see her strange expressions or movements, so she could only vent her emotions intensely in her heart time and time again.

Beichuan Si thought for a while longer, then said, "Do you really like me, someone who deals with ghost stories every day and might accidentally drag you into danger? If you’re with me, it’s possible that something like last time could happen again."
