Chapter 924: Senior Martial Brother, I Don’t Want Anything to Happen to You

After a fierce battle, Lin Nuo finally relented and stopped resisting.

Lying amidst the peach blossoms, he felt quite comfortable, completely relaxed, as if he had already surrendered.

In Su Kexin’s embrace, he found a warmth he hadn’t experienced in the past.

A fleeting thought crossed his mind; it seemed he had always wished to change, but things never went his way.

Harboring grudges and stubborn thoughts hadn’t improved his life; instead, it had made him unhappy.

It felt as if he had no way to resist Su Kexin; time and time again, he failed—was this what fate had chosen?

“Senior Martial Brother, can we, um, not fight? I really don’t want to fight you anymore…”

Su Kexin buried her head in Lin Nuo’s chest. Even though she had embraced him, she still felt a little scared; she was worried he would fight back, which was something she absolutely hoped to avoid.

Who would want to fight with someone they admire? They definitely wanted to be lovey-dovey instead.

“You could just stab me like that woman did,” Lin Nuo replied coldly.

“No, that’s impossible! How could I do that?! Although I don’t understand how things got this way or where my strength comes from, I do know that even if I have this strange power, I could never do something like that to you, Senior Martial Brother.”

Su Kexin was about to cry, her big, watery eyes glistening.

What had she done to make him think she would act like that?

What was the basis for such a belief?

There was none! Did she do something that made him despise her?

“Senior Martial Brother, have I done anything to make you dislike me? Please tell me; I promise I’ll change! I won’t do it again! I’m begging you, please tell me…”

Su Kexin was flustered, tears brimming in her eyes as she desperately tried to hold onto Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo looked at her, momentarily speechless.

To be honest, this little girl was nothing like the cold, ruthless main character from before; even though her strength had drastically increased, she remained so innocent.

Seeing Su Kexin like this made him both amused and bewildered.

He had never dreamed that the main character would ever speak to her like this—it could truly make one cry.

Alright, he never expected it; but after dying, he encountered it.

Perhaps Lin Nuo could understand from this girl where Su Kexin would take his corpse in the future.

“I have a question for you. If you were the one at the scene, where would you take that corpse?”

“Ah? I’m not that person! I wouldn’t be! And the corpse wouldn’t be Senior Martial Brother’s!” Su Kexin exclaimed, flustered in her defense.

“…I said if. Besides, I never said that corpse was mine.”

Lin Nuo’s tone remained calm. Overall, he was still considerate of Su Kexin in their conversation, not pointing fingers at her.

After all, faced with such a silly person, he would likely tease her.

Yet, he had gradually grown accustomed to Su Kexin’s silliness and had not truly gotten angry with her.

“Hmm… well, if it were me, I’d probably give the corpse a grand burial. I’d bury it in the best way possible; it needs to be dignified. And for the family, I would treat them well because they are innocent.”

“What kind of logic is that? You kill someone and then give their corpse a grand burial? What’s your reasoning? What if they were truly evil?”

Lin Nuo challenged her, leaning closer, their bodies touching. Su Kexin was on top, Lin Nuo below.

“Hmm… Senior Martial Brother, please don’t be angry… If I said something wrong… please forgive me… um… this is just my thought… I was wrong…”

“Forget it.”

Lin Nuo sighed, realizing asking her was pointless.

How could the Su Kexin back then possibly care about giving his corpse a grand burial? Of course, she would treat Xia Hanmo well; that was a given. After all, she was the main character, filled with kindness and a sense of justice.

Lin Nuo took a breath, looking up at the sky. He remembered a time when the sky was very dim, heavy with dark clouds, as if it was the end of the world. But now, he saw the clouds dispersing, revealing a blue sky.

He didn’t know when it started, but he began to like this wide-open sky. Sometimes, he even got upset due to thick clouds and heavy rain interfering with his fishing, cursing at the heavens.

He used to prefer the dark sky, which mirrored his gloomy state of mind.

“Ah.”

He sighed again, and Su Kexin turned her sparkling eyes toward him, asking:

“Senior Martial Brother, what are you sighing about? Do you have something on your mind? Are you unhappy? Hmm… you’re capable, so you must have many burdens to bear. I’m still far from you, unable to share your troubles.”

At this, Su Kexin choked up, a wave of sadness filling her heart.

However, she still managed to say:

“Even so, I am trying my best to alleviate your worries. You saved my life, Senior Martial Brother. I will always look up to you. You’re my most revered role model.”

“I never intended to save your life.”

“Yes, Senior Martial Brother, you want to save many people, without deliberately saving anyone. I’m just one of them. But your impact on me is profound; I will remember it. And there’s one more important reason.”

Su Kexin hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke up:

“I, I really like you, Senior Martial Brother! I like you a lot! I hope I can always accompany you!”

Although her actions had always vaguely conveyed her feelings, she had never directly expressed them to Lin Nuo like this.

Now that she had said it, she felt she had gathered the courage.

Lin Nuo paused for a moment and then suddenly laughed out loud, looking at the sky as if he were a madman.

This frightened Su Kexin.

Ah, what’s wrong with Senior Martial Brother? Did something happen?

“Senior Martial Brother, please don’t scare me! What’s wrong? You’re not going to have any trouble, right?”

Su Kexin was extremely anxious while Lin Nuo kept laughing.

He just felt it was particularly ridiculous and funny.

What a twist of fate, that one day Su Kexin would say such words to him, especially in the very place where she had once stabbed him.

This was truly a heart attack!

It felt like he had been toyed with, leaving him with helpless laughter that quickly subsided.

He stared at Su Kexin, and she stared back at him.

They locked eyes, each with mixed emotions.

For Lin Nuo, perhaps this was an intriguing form of revenge.

She had feelings for him, and if that day came when he really couldn’t resist her, and she, out of desperation, ended up stabbing him, would she regret it for life, living in the shadow of that moment?

Perhaps.

But that wasn’t the outcome he had planned.

He was someone who wanted to achieve predictable results, yet everything had turned out unpredictable, and he felt he couldn’t control it.

Peach blossoms fell on his face, and with an expressionless face, Su Kexin reached out to wipe the petals off.

Then she planted a gentle kiss on his cheek.

“Senior Martial Brother, I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
