Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Chapter 2907 Town Infrastructure Construction in Full Swing 28

Upon hearing this, Jin Chen chuckled softly.

"Don't you think I'm amazing?"

Jin Chen looked at him; the space under the umbrella was cramped, and their breaths almost mingled.

The damp rain and mist seemed to act as a catalyst, making Jin Chen's voice sound even deeper, almost seductive.

"Huo Zhaoye, when will you get rid of your habit of fighting alone?"

That same tone again leaves you speechless, more so than any criticism.

It was as if Huo Zhaoye was just a troublesome young man with many problems who needed patient guidance, while Jin Chen was the teacher who was always at ease, saw through everything, and was always ready to lend a helping hand.

Huo Zhaoye stayed here for a long time today. He killed the monster, remained silent at his mother's burial site, and during the intervals of his headache, he figured out some things. Suddenly, he felt a tickle in his throat, as if something was stuck there and he had to get it out.

He wiped the dark red bloodstains from his fingers before taking Jin Chen's hand, which wasn't holding the umbrella.

"I've figured it out."

Huo Zhaoye looked at their clasped hands, then raised his eyes to look at Jin Chen, "I will not give up on you. I may have said that before, but at that time... I may not have understood it clearly. Now I want to say it again."

"Jin Chen, I really like you."

This time, it wasn't an impulse driven by desire, but a clear and unwavering certainty amidst pain, in memories, and when facing the past and future alone: ​​he wanted this person, not just now, but in the future, a kind of love he never wanted to let go of.

Jin Chen tilted her head slightly and met Huo Zhaoye's serious gaze.

So he smiled and his eyes crinkled, and the kiss that was about to fall because Huo Zhaoye was getting close was stopped by him at a very close distance.

Jin Chen didn't kiss him. Instead, she raised her finger, pressed her fingertip against her lower lip, and then placed it on Huo Zhaoye's slightly parted lips.

"I like you too," Jin Chen said.

Huo Zhaoye's heart almost leaped out of his chest because of those words.

“But, Huo Zhaoye,” Jin Chen’s fingertip gently caressed his lips, her tone tinged with laughter, “you haven’t listened to your teacher many times.”

You had a headache but didn't tell me.

I came here alone to embark on this adventure.

They clearly needed help but chose to tough it out.

“So,” Jin Chen withdrew her finger, calmly looking at his stunned face, and announced.

"I've decided to give you the silent treatment."

Huo Zhaoye: "???"

cold war?

What does this mean? How did the Cold War begin?

I like him, but I also want to give him the silent treatment. Where is the logic in that?

The rain seemed to intensify at that moment, pattering against the umbrella.

Jin Chen put her arm around Huo Zhaoye's waist and pulled him closer to her.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Jin Chen said, holding an umbrella, and led Huo Zhaoye, who was still processing the news about the Cold War, to walk out of the woods.

The umbrella wasn't big enough to cover two people, so Jin Chen tilted it towards Huo Zhaoye.

The words "cold war" were still swirling in Huo Zhaoye's mind, but his body could clearly feel the warmth and strength coming from his waist, as well as the umbrella that Jin Chen was tilting for him.

Does this... does this look like the start of a cold war?

Huo Zhaoye was still struggling with his own thoughts, like a tangled mess, but his body's instincts made him unable to resist. He subtly turned his head towards Jin Chen, resting his wet and slightly aching head on Jin Chen's shoulder.

On the way back, the rain pattered softly.

[Lord Jinchen, you have received an encrypted private message from the Quick Transmigration Bureau's spiritual terminal!]

Jin Chen didn't stop walking, responding in her mind: [Recite.]

999 is diligently processing the message: [Information decoding in progress... Decoding successful.]

[The core repair process for Senior 0731's spirit body has been completed. The spirit has asked me to tell you: Please don't worry, Senior's recovery is progressing well and has entered a stable phase.]

999 was still processing the follow-up to that private message and experienced a slight delay.

[...Additionally, Lingduan added: After Gun Gun recovered, its initial divine beast form was very...beautiful, round and cute, um...]

999 paused again, seemingly a little confused by the description, but still persevered and finished reading.

Lingduan said, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to let you know."

Jin Chen: [...]

That guy Bai Ze.
