Chapter 586

Yun Li glanced at Lin Yu and saw that he was still a little reserved. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and teased, "Why, you just helped me wipe my mouth and you are so scared? You guys on the Starry Sky Train have been traveling between the stars and have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Now you are so timid."

Lin Yu coughed lightly and replied in a low voice, "Don't joke with me, I have to be careful, after all, there has been a precedent before." When he mentioned the previous foot-wiping incident, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, with some indescribable subtle emotions.

When Yun Li heard this, she paused for a moment, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, and then she returned to her arrogant look and said angrily, "Hmph, you dare to mention that." Having said that, a different ripple arose in her heart. When Lin Yu helped her wipe her muddy feet, she was angry and annoyed, but now when she thinks back on it, she finds that it has become one of the scenes that she has repeatedly recalled in her mind, especially Lin Yu's calm attitude at the time, which made her feel a little more strange in her heart.

Seeing that she seemed neither angry nor angry, Lin Yu didn't know how to respond. Yun Li followed her barefoot and said, "Hey, what did you draw on that piece of paper just now? You have been acting mysterious since a while ago." It turned out that she was still thinking about the piece of paper that Lin Yu had wanted to hide before.

Lin Yu's heart tightened, "It's nothing, I originally wanted to give you a handkerchief, but I ended up getting a piece of paper."

Yun Li was not willing to give up. She stepped in front of Lin Yu, stretched out her hand, and said without question, "Give it to me. I want to see it today. There is a pattern on the paper you handed me." Her eyes were burning, with a bit of stubbornness and curiosity, as if she would never give up if Lin Yu didn't give it to her.

Lin Yu felt a headache. In fact, what was drawn on the paper was the silhouette of Yun Li standing in the afterglow of the Jingfeng ship. He happened to catch a glimpse of this scene that day, and he sketched it down for some reason.

Seeing Yun Li so persistent, Lin Yu avoided her gaze and tried to refuse again, "Yun Li, it's really nothing, just a few strokes I drew in my spare time, it's really not worth seeing." Feeling a little guilty, he took a small step back unconsciously, as if to distance himself from the "secret" that was about to be revealed in Yun Li's hand.

Yun Li took a step forward, and the distance between them was instantly shortened. She raised her face, locked her eyes on Lin Yu, and said loudly, "No! You must give me an explanation today. I don't believe that it is just ordinary graffiti that allows you to cover it up like this?" At this moment, she was like a little beast with high morale, and she had to "pry" the truth out of Lin Yu's mouth. Her stubbornness made her originally bright and beautiful face even more fierce.

Lin Yu was forced into a corner. He sighed helplessly, his eyes full of compromise, and muttered softly, "Forget it, since you...must see it, then...then take a look." As he said that, he took out the paper again and handed it to Yun Li, as if he was handing over an extremely precious and uneasy treasure.

Yun Li snatched the paper and unfolded it impatiently when she saw the familiar picture on it.

When she saw herself standing in the silhouette of the Jingfeng ship in the afterglow, she was stunned for a moment. Her eyes, which were originally full of arrogance, instantly became gentle, and her cheeks were faintly flushed, which was in sharp contrast to her usual blush.

For a moment, she forgot what to say and just stared at the drawing paper quietly, as if she was lost in some memories.

After a long while, Yun Li came back to her senses. She raised her head and looked straight at Lin Yu, with a complex light flashing in her eyes, including surprise, joy, and a hint of indescribable shyness.

She asked softly, "Why...why do you want to draw me?" The voice was gentle, completely different from her previous loud questioning. At this moment, she seemed to have let down all her defenses, leaving only the ignorance and shyness of a girl facing sudden feelings.

"That day I happened to see you standing on the ship, and I just thought it was pretty, so I drew it."

"Beautiful?" Yun Li tilted her head slightly and thought, "Could it be...you like me?" Yun Li raised her head and looked at Lin Yu.

"Ahem..." Lin Yu was choked by this straightforward question. He raised his head suddenly, "How is it possible? Why do I like you?"

"Hmph, I don't think you dare. I'm a minor. If you dare to touch me, I will arrest you according to the laws of the Immortal Boat!" Yun Li raised her chin and said arrogantly, but the slightly flushed cheeks and the flash of disappointment in her eyes did not escape Lin Yu's eyes.

She clasped her hands in front of her chest, as if to build a protective wall for herself, but her fingers unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, revealing her inner anxiety.

In fact, she said this not only to find a way out for herself, but also to test Lin Yu's reaction to see if he really had feelings for her.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.

"Yun Li, I have no intention of offending you. I just drew that picture because I thought you looked pretty at the time. I have no other intention. Don't think too much about it."

Yun Li was even more furious when she heard this. She wanted to hear some of his true feelings, but she didn't expect him to be so evasive. So she replied angrily, "Humph, it's better this way. I don't care about your thoughts!"

Seeing this, Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he secretly regretted saying the wrong thing, "Yun Li, I didn't mean that. You have always been special in my heart. We are partners and friends."

"Friends? Just friends?"

"Then why did you draw me? Why did you want to wipe the juice off the corners of my mouth? Why did you take the initiative to wipe my feet when we were in Luofu?"

"If you don't have those little thoughts, why do you do this?"

Lin Yu was somewhat at a loss for what to do due to this sudden barrage of questions.

"Yun Li, I know you have doubts in your heart, but I really don't have any other intentions. I drew you purely because the afterglow of the setting sun outlined your beautiful silhouette standing there. I instinctively wanted to record it, that's all."

"I saw juice on the corner of your mouth, so I wiped it for you. It was the most basic concern between friends, even though it was a habitual and subconscious behavior. And I didn't want you to lose face in front of everyone."

"As for Luofu..." Lin Yu paused, frowned slightly, as if he was lost in memories, with a helpless look on his face. "If I had stood by and watched the situation at that time, how could I bear it? If any of my friends were in trouble, I would help them. It's not because of any special thoughts."

"In my heart, I have always regarded you as a close friend who can go through life and death with me and fight side by side. I sincerely hope that everything goes well for you and I don't have any other thoughts." Although his voice was still a little trembling, he hoped that Yun Li could truly feel the sincerity in his words.

"You...are such a fool! I don't understand why there are so many girls around you sticking to you!" Yun Li shouted with her cheeks slightly flushed, not sure if it was out of anger or shame.

She stomped her feet hard, as if to vent the inexplicable emotions in her heart, then turned around and ran away quickly.

Lin Yu looked at Yun Li's departing back and sighed slightly, his sigh full of helplessness and complicated emotions.

A wry smile appeared on his face, which showed both tolerance for Yun Li's temper and a little disappointment caused by the misunderstanding.

Yun Li is such a straightforward girl. Although she sometimes has a temper as hot as a powder keg that can be ignited at any time, she is actually very kind-hearted. Today's series of questions actually just shows how much she cherishes the friendship between them. She is afraid that this pure friendship will change because of some actions, so she cares so much and is so serious about it.
