Chapter 91: He Really Gets Me
So-called PUA techniques, whether you understand them or not doesn’t matter, but what matters is the momentum—you’ve got to intimidate her so that she doesn’t have time to think and then make her feel like she’s really wrong.
Actually, Yun Zhonghe’s words sounded reasonable at first, but they didn’t hold up upon closer inspection. However, he quickly snatched the white-haired loli’s rationality, pinned her down, and gave her a good scolding until she was speechless, completely mouth-dry—she could hardly breathe.
He even pulled in Lin Zhongyu, asking for her opinion.
“Miss Lin, what do you think of what I said?”
Lin Zhongyu was also stunned, clearly shocked by Yun Zhonghe’s sudden seriousness.
But… he did express what was in her heart.
Jixue always charged forward to protect and encourage her, and over time, she felt herself becoming a mere appendage of Jixue’s.
But she didn’t want to be a sidekick; she’d become stronger too and wanted to stand proudly beside Jixue. Yet, in Jixue’s eyes, she was still the same useless person who needed protection.
Sometimes Lin Zhongyu would feel a bit uncomfortable.
Jixue’s protective urges were too strong, thus neglecting her own thoughts.
She didn’t just want to be protected; she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jixue, supporting each other!
But Zhongyu was just too gentle, too timid to speak out, worried she’d hurt Jixue’s pride. She was the kind of girl who would rather bear her own burdens alone instead of letting others know.
Now, Yun Zhonghe had said everything she wished she could. This made her flustered, yet also touched.
Flustered because she thought Yun Zhonghe was maybe a bit harsh, but understanding, after all, with Jixue’s stubborn nature, unless you throw some heavy words, she won’t listen.
Touched because she never knew Yun Zhonghe understood her so well.
Every little thought of hers was seen through him. Yet he could effortlessly defend her while correcting Jixue’s personality flaws.
His actions, though minor details, made Zhongyu feel his carefulness and sensitivity, deeply touching her inner self.
Encouraged by Zhonghe, Zhongyu finally found her courage, openly sharing her true feelings: “Yes, Sister Snow, I agree with Brother Yun too. If you keep feeling guilty or burdened, it would break my heart. For you, I would do anything willingly without hesitation. Please understand.”
Seeing Zhongyu bravely express this, Yun Zhonghe secretly thought “Well done!”
It wasn’t just about Jixue’s issues; Zhongyu being too accommodating was also holding them back from progressing in their relationship.
Too much accommodation, suppressing your own feelings, would inevitably create a barrier preventing true intimacy.
Love isn’t just about acceptance; sometimes, you need to act pettily and show the other person that you depend on each other.
Right now, Yun Zhonghe blew this barrier wide open, spreading love between them, making them realize the truth.
“So don’t feel responsible for protecting us. We’ve joined you knowing we’re ready to face any hardship.”
“Even if something happens, we won’t complain.”
“Your words just now only made us feel cold.”
Yun Zhonghe’s intense reprimand had her in tears.
I get it, I understand, no more poking, no more poking! I know I’m wrong /\(ㄒoㄒ)/~
Mumu was pouty: “I didn’t mean it like that, I’m sorry Xiao Yu. I was just worried about you.”
“Don’t worry about it, Snow. I understand. It’s all good now. No matter what happens, I’ll be here with Brother Yun.”
Zhongyu’s long-standing anxieties were resolved. She hugged Jixue, hearts and minds open.
Usually, she’d say, “I’ll always be by your side.”
But considering Yun Zhonghe’s feelings, Zhongyu added him nicely.
After all, how could she leave Yun Zhonghe out? Yun Zhonghe was like the lubricant for them, the perfect fit. Without him, she and Jixue wouldn’t get along this smoothly.
Yun Zhonghe felt very satisfied, thinking his support had been spot-on.
Only in an equal relationship could they move past their old dynamics and truly acknowledge one another.
They would definitely grow closer. Perhaps soon, they’d happily enter QQ Space together.
Yet, Yun Zhonghe felt a slight oddity.
Why did Zhongyu mention his name earlier? You two just stick together, this background character doesn’t need to be included.
He felt a bit odd, but concluded it was likely because the female lead was too kind and worried he might feel left out, so he was mentioned kindly.
Oh, the female lead is too nice, there was no real need for that.
Yet, Yun Zhonghe felt a tiny hint of joy since it showed the female lead’s growing recognition of him, making their relationship better.
Thus, Yun Zhonghe accepted her kindness.
“Right, once we join the Xuantian Sect, if you need anything, just tell me.”
Yun Zhonghe paused, becoming serious: “Just like today, if you run into trouble, come find me. While I may not be as talented, I’m quite experienced in handling these matters. Trust me, and I can solve anything for you.”
This heartfelt statement was genuine.
After joining the Xuantian Sect, Huáng Aotian and the females would face even greater challenges. Given current events, it’s hard to predict where this journey would lead.
Yun Zhonghe was anxious about Huáng Aotian’s safety halfway through.
Therefore, he would do everything possible to help them.
Jixue and Zhongyu could clearly sense how determined Yun Zhonghe was.
Before they could react, Yun Zhonghe, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Jixue stiffened, still shaken by Yun Zhonghe’s intense criticism.
Yun Zhonghe closed his eyes, feeling the energy, then smiled faintly: “Congratulations, Miss Mu, your intuition is spot-on. There are indeed valuable things here.”
Jixue and Zhongyu immediately felt relieved.
Though they had assumed this path would be empty, there was another possibility.
These treasures might be so valuable that no one had bothered to secure them.
It looked like they had struck gold.
As Yun Zhonghe gently pushed aside the stone door up ahead, a wave of spiritual energy assailed them, stirring deep desires, and a liquid yearning started trickling within.
Both of them gasped, pressing hands onto their chests to contain the excitement, nearly swallowing.
In front of them lay a pool of liquid, not too large, its milky hue undulating, causing gentle ripples, evoking their desires.
“This is Heavenly Spirit Milk?”
Yun Zhonghe exclaimed.
