Chapter 117 "Meow~"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, Ye Kai walked up to her, took out a gold soul coin from the soul guide, and gestured to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was still immersed in her own chaotic thoughts, felt a little disappointed when she saw that Ye Kai actually let her leave it to fate.
"Don't get me wrong, I just want you to understand my true feelings through this."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Ye Kai hurriedly explained.
"The so-called destiny is actually just an excuse people make to cover up the fact that they once chose the wrong direction at a crossroads."
"However, the moment this gold soul coin is thrown into the sky, you will understand which path you want to choose."
“In this way, even if the final result may not be as good as another path, it is still a choice made by you and your heart.”
"So, do you want to give it a try?"
Ye Kai stuffed the gold soul coin into Zhu Zhuqing's hand and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with encouraging eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and pondered the path she wanted to choose.
Dai Mubai was excluded first.
I didn't have much hope for him in the first place, and I haven't thought about him once in the past few days.
There are two remaining paths. One is to follow Zhu Zhuyun's advice and find a remote place to practice until you can control your own future.
The other way is naturally to join Donghuang College.
Now I am wavering at this crossroads.
Exhaling heavily, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the golden soul coin in his hand, suppressed the complexity in his heart, and threw the golden soul coin into the sky with force, like a prisoner waiting for the result of the trial.
The moment the gold soul coin took off, Zhu Zhuqing's mind went blank.
Staring closely at the gold soul coin in the air, she now hoped that the side of the gold soul coin that fell would be the one she wanted.
As the gold soul coin fell, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt that her heart was being grasped by an invisible big hand.
She was very worried that the result would not be what she wanted.
Suddenly, Ye Kai reached out and intercepted the falling gold soul coin, holding the coin in his hand so that Zhu Zhuqing could not see which side was facing up.
"So, have you made the choice you wanted?"
Ye Kai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who looked a little confused, with a smile on his face.
Looking at Ye Kai's smile, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if basking in the spring breeze. Touching her rapidly beating heart, she suddenly realized something.
There was only one path in my mind just now, and that was to stay here, stay with the young man in front of me.
So, this is the path I want to choose in my heart.
Zhu Zhuqing stood on tiptoe to get closer to Ye Kai.
In front of Ye Kai's astonished eyes, she offered her cherry lips, but they separated immediately.
"you……"
Ye Kai felt a little complicated.
Does realizing your original mind mean that you can realize this original mind?
Shouldn't you be thinking about your future path now?
Why did you start flirting with me?
"Shouldn't I repay the favor of saving my life with my own body?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned slightly red and she turned her head away without looking at Ye Kai.
"Girl, I'm not your good man. Once you get on this pirate ship of mine, don't even think about escaping."
After hearing Ye Kai's words, Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly, her big eyes bright.
"I know, those girls looked at you in a very unusual way."
"But if I don't take the initiative, won't I be able to stand by your side?"
Ye Kai was a little stunned.
Isn't it because of Dai Mubai's fickleness that Zhu Zhuqing treats him so harshly?
Why now...
Looking at Ye Kai's expression, Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment and suddenly understood what Ye Kai was thinking.
I became more resolute in my decision.
"You want to talk about Dai Mubai? My disappointment in him is not that he finds women."
"Don't forget, I am the second daughter of the Zhu family. I could even become the future queen of the Xingluo Empire if he hadn't run away." "He chose to escape alone and abandoned me alone in a dangerous place."
"While I was targeting and assassinating him, and faced several dangerous situations, he was out there having a good time."
"That's what really disappoints me. Now, I have no relationship with him."
Thinking back to how Ye Kai had taken care of her over the past few days, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of peace that she hadn't felt for a long time.
Ever since Dai Mubai escaped alone three years ago, he has been living in endless blood and rain every day, exhausted.
Looking at her own reflection in Ye Kai's red pupils, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was very serious.
"Although we haven't been in contact for a long time, I feel very safe around you."
Hearing this, Ye Kai's heart was filled with pity for this girl who was not even 12 years old.
After being assigned to be his fiancée with someone he had never met, his sister and mother, who had loved him before, changed their attitudes.
Her fiancé also left her alone and ran away, leaving her completely exposed to the enemy's sight.
Hugging Zhu Zhuqing tightly in his arms, Ye Kai lowered his head and spoke firmly in Zhu Zhuqing's ear.
"Zhu Qing, I will be your support and harbor, so that you can always feel at ease."
Zhu Zhuqing curled the corners of her mouth, leaned on Ye Kai's chest, listened to Ye Kai's heartbeat, and whispered softly.
"Ok, I know."
After gently kissing Zhu Zhuqing on the head, Ye Kai let her go.
"Let's go back. If we stay out for too long, everyone will get worried."
"Okay, leader~"
Zhu Zhuqing changed her usual cold image and teased Ye Kai.
But she knew that Ye Kai did not join the Donghuang College team, but instead served as the team leader.
"Since you call me that, will this school uniform I prepared in advance come in handy?"
Ye Kai took out a set of Donghuang College uniform from his soul guide and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
"It seems that you have been harboring evil intentions for a long time."
Zhu Zhuqing took the school uniform and looked at Ye Kai with pretended dissatisfaction.
"Hehehe, it's too late to realize it now~ Kitty, just obey me~"
Ye Kai had an evil smile on his face and slowly approached Zhu Zhuqing.
"Kitten?"
When Zhu Zhuqing heard Ye Kai addressing her, she was suddenly possessed by her martial spirit.
A pair of cat ears stood upright on Zhu Zhuqing's head, and a long black cat tail appeared behind her.
Putting her right hand on her face, Zhu Zhuqing meowed tentatively.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing realized what she was doing, and crimson blood spread from her snow-white neck to the tips of her ears.
Zhu Zhuqing exerted a little force on his feet and rushed towards the camp.
Ye Kai followed behind him, shaking his head and laughing.
This little kitty is letting itself go after untying its own knot.
Zhu Zhuqing returned to her tent and lay in her sleeping bag.
In my mind, the scene just now kept replaying.
He covered his face with his hands, and a burning sensation came from his hands.
Even without looking in the mirror, Zhu Zhuqing knew it.
My face should have turned red by now.
Why suddenly...
Although I don't understand why I suddenly behave like this.
But thinking of how Ye Kai addressed her, Zhu Zhuqing still fell asleep with a smile on her face.
