Chapter 380 Take the initiative

"Because you're beautiful." Lin Yu blurted out suddenly, with a light-hearted teasing in his voice, and he had no idea what kind of changes this sentence would bring to the scene.

Jing Liu's reaction was almost immediate, and her eyes instantly became complicated, showing both surprise and shyness.

Such compliments, even coming from a good friend, made her feel surprised and touched.

But while her heart was wavering, Jingliu did not forget her identity and principles. She coughed lightly and tried to get the atmosphere back on track.

"We are talking about swordsmanship, Lin Yu." She emphasized again, trying to change the subject to avoid getting into a more embarrassing situation.

"I know, but I'm talking about you." Lin Yu said with a smile.

Lin Yu did not leave her much breathing space.

He took advantage of the victory and used this rare opportunity to further shorten the psychological distance between him and Jingliu.

"Do you know, Jingliu?" Lin Yu's tone was a bit mysterious.

"Just now when I looked at you, the sword and you were integrated into one, strong yet flexible, making it impossible to look away."

Jing Liu listened to Lin Yu's description. She never thought that she would be praised by Lin Yu like this.

But she is a rational person after all and will not be easily swayed by emotions.

Jing Liu knew that Lin Yu was not a frivolous person, and every word he said was carefully considered, which made her feel more touched.

Reason told her that she should not make decisions on impulse.

So, she chose to temporarily avoid Lin Yu's burning gaze, and said softly, "Lin Yu, thank you for your compliment, but we should be friends first, and the rest... we can take our time."

"Jingliu, I think... there are some things I should tell you."

"what's up?"

"Jingliu, my life has changed a lot since I saved you. It's a qualitative change." Lin Yu said.

After Jingliu was rescued, the timeline had already changed.

The reason why Lin Yu has become like this now is without exception, Jingliu is the turning point.

If I had chosen not to save him at that time.

Lin Yu himself didn't know what would happen.

"so.."

Before Lin Yu could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Jing Liu.

"Lin Yu, I must admit that you occupy a special place in my heart."

"But, I also hope you understand.. I'm afraid that if our relationship changes, it will affect our current balance."

"Since I got rid of the troubles of the demonic body, I began to re-examine myself. Those emotions that were once suppressed gradually emerged. They confused me and frightened me."

"Don't be so anxious, everything can be done slowly, okay?" Jing Liu reached out and gently held Lin Yu's hand.

"Okay..." Lin Yu nodded.

"Thank you, Lin Yu."

"No matter what the future holds, at least we can enjoy the present moment and cherish each other's company. Our story has just begun, hasn't it?"

"So... do you want to go shopping with me?" Lin Yu asked.

Jing Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he agreed, "Okay, Lin Yu."

"Actually, I haven't had a good rest for a long time."

"Wow, you confessed your feelings right after we met. You are worthy of me."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've captured the Luofu Sword Principal. Won't that mean there will be a lot of fun?"

The illusion inside Lin Yu spoke.

...

The two of them strolled on the bustling street, Jing Liu's eyes shuttled through the crowd. Suddenly, she stopped and was attracted by a jade pendant in an antique shop.

The jade pendant emits a soft luster under the light.

Lin Yu noticed Jing Liu's interest. He walked to the counter, asked the price, and bought it decisively.

"This jade pendant suits you very well, Jingliu." Lin Yu said and handed it to her.

Jing Liu took the jade pendant and gently stroked the delicate surface with his fingers, "Lin Yu, this is too precious."

She whispered, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Lin Yu smiled, "For me, nothing is more precious than your smile." He said sincerely, "Besides, I think this jade pendant is tailor-made for you. It is perfect for you."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the hesitation on Jing Liu's face immediately disappeared, "Thank you, Lin Yu."

Walking out of the antique shop, Lin Yu suddenly suggested, "Can I help you put it on?"

"Well, that's fine too."

Then Lin Yu took the jade pendant from Jing Liu and carefully hung it around her neck.

The jade pendant hangs gently on the collarbone, blending perfectly with Jingliu's temperament and adding a touch of elegance.

"Okay, how is it?" Lin Yu took a step back and admired Jing Liu wearing the jade pendant, his eyes full of admiration.

Jing Liu raised her hand and touched the jade pendant on her chest, and a block of ice condensed in front of her.

“It’s amazing, it feels like it was meant to be here.”

"It seems that I made the right choice." Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Just as Lin Yu was immersed in a satisfied smile, he suddenly had an idea...

While Jing Liu was admiring the jade pendant, Lin Yu gently stretched out his fingers, following the outline of Jing Liu's spine, slowly moving down from the shoulders to the center of the back and touching the exposed skin.

Lin Yu pinched it gently.

This sudden action made Jing Liu tremble all over. She turned back suddenly, a hint of surprise and coquettishness flashed in her eyes, "Lin Yu!" She called out softly, and a blush quickly passed across her cheeks, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness.

"What...what are you doing?" Jingliu's face was obviously panicked.

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Jingliu, I just want to see how you will react."

However, Lin Yu did not expect to see her with such a cold face, but would have such a cute expression.

"It's a very cute expression." Lin Yu said.

When Jing Liu heard Lin Yu's comments, the blush on her cheeks deepened. She bit her lip, with a look of shyness and helplessness in her eyes, "Lin Yu, I won't allow you to tease me like this."

Lin Yu put away his smile and looked at Jing Liu gently. He took a step forward, gently held Jing Liu's cheeks with both hands, and said seriously, "Jing Liu, you don't know how happy I am to see you show such an expression. You are usually so calm and composed. This side of you makes me feel that you are very close to me and very real."

Jing Liu was caught off guard by Lin Yu's sudden action, but she did not dodge, but just quietly met Lin Yu's gaze, and an unprecedented sense of peace and stability emerged in her heart.

"Lin Yu..." Jing Liu opened his red lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just shook his head, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. "Sometimes, I really don't understand why you are so tolerant of someone like me who is not perfect."

Lin Yu smiled, loosened his hand, took Jing Liu's fingertips, interlocked their fingers, and replied softly, "Jing Liu, perfection itself is a defect, because it means there is no room for improvement. What I like is precisely those 'imperfections' in you. They make you unique."

The next moment, Lin Yu made a move that Jing Liu did not expect.

“Hmm…!”

Jing Liu tried to push Lin Yu away in panic, but her hands were grabbed.

Lin Yu pushed her against the wall at the entrance of the antique shop and kissed her passionately.

Jingliu's heartbeat accelerated with every moment, and the feeling of shyness and sweetness almost suffocated her.

She never thought she would have such a strong reaction, but it turned out that when love comes quietly, all rationality will be overwhelmed.

"Hmm...this feeling..." Jingliu muttered to herself, and she found that she was actually somewhat greedy for this experience of being deeply attracted and passionately pursued.

Every movement and every contact of Lin Yu seemed to ignite the spark in her heart, making her immerse herself in it involuntarily, enjoying this unprecedented throbbing.

However, just as they were immersed in their own little world, a line of sight came over them from a nearby restaurant.

There sat a woman, her eyes twinkling with interest.

She is Feixiao, and the wine glass in her hand seems to be the best prop to witness all this.

"Gulp gulp", she swallowed the wine in big gulps. It was a free and easy attitude. Everything in the world caught her eyes but did not disturb her mind.

"Haha! Interesting." Feixiao laughed out loud, her eyes full of appreciation for the scene before her.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person." As she spoke, she seemed to have discovered Lin Yu's unusual side, which made the whole thing even more confusing.

"It makes me understand what the look you gave me that day meant." She suddenly realized that everything had a traceable path, but she just didn't notice it at the time.

She originally just wanted to find Lin Yu to make wine for her, but she ended up seeing this scene.

Really interesting.
