Chapter 2003: Meeting Li Jinxi
The following morning, Yu Rou slowly opened her eyes.
“Brother…” she whispered, a warm smile blossoming on her face as she gazed at Yuan, peacefully asleep beside her.
A sudden impulse stirred within her, and after a brief moment of hesitation, she leaned in and pressed a soft, gentle kiss on his lips.
Yuan opened his eyes a few moments later.
“Good morning, brother.” Yu Rou acted normally, but her face was flushed with redness.
“Morning.”
Yuan sat up, pretending like he didn’t notice the kiss.
“I’ll make breakfast.” Yu Rou said as she got off the bed and left the room.
After she left, Yuan released a deep sigh. With his experience, there was no way he hadn’t noticed it—Yu Rou’s feelings for him went beyond simple sibling affection. While it might appear as familial love on the surface, he could clearly sense the deeper emotions she tried to hide.
Even if they weren’t blood-related, they had grown up together as siblings, and that bond carried weight. Yuan wasn’t sure how he would respond if Yu Rou ever chose to confess her feelings.
Would he be able to accept her… or would that line between them remain one he couldn’t cross?
Some time later, after eating breakfast, they made their way to the exit.
“Brother… do you think I’ll be able to see you again soon?” she asked.
He nodded and said, “I’ll try to meet you again before I return to my journey.”
“Okay. It’s a promise.”
Yu Rou suddenly embraced him tightly.
“Take this before you go.” Yuan retrieved a spatial ring and offered it to her.
“What’s this?” she asked.
“There are a few treasures inside that will help you if you ever get yourself into trouble that you cannot handle.”
“Thank you…”
Once Yu Rou left, Yuan also left the Myriad of Techniques and returned to the Super Perfect Physique Tempering Sect.
“Wow, I didn’t think you’d spend an entire month with Yu Rou.” Chu Liuxiang remarked when he returned.
“A month is nothing if you consider how long we’ve been apart,” he said.
“That’s true.”
“What are you going to do now?” Meixiu asked.
“I’ll stay at this sect for a little longer. Also, there’s still someone I need to talk to…”
“Oh, you mean Jinxi?” Chu Liuxiang said.
He nodded and said, “She’s definitely waiting for me.” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“Good luck,” Meixiu said.
Yuan left to find Li Jinxi shortly afterward.
