389: Embarrassed teenager girl

In the large living room.

Liu Yuan and Zhou Mi were silently eating, occasionally glancing at each other.

Four or five hours had already passed.

Neither of their elders had come out yet.

Zhou Mi felt every minute and second was an agony.

She had never eaten a meal that lasted so long in her life.

But she didn't know what else she could do to alleviate the nervousness and anxiety in her heart.

However, she remembered her father telling her that whether it was a battle or a negotiation, the most important thing was never the prepared rhetoric, but observing the opponent's every move before the conflict began, so as to adapt accordingly.

Hours passed, and Liu Yuan looked as if nothing was amiss.

But the truth told Zhou Mi that he was also very nervous.

Because he kept his head down, looking at the electronic device in his hand.

Staring at it constantly!

He had been staring for four or five hours!

He hadn't looked up once!

This was not normal, very abnormal!

But what was he nervous about?

Suddenly, both of them wanted to break this extremely awkward situation.

Liu Yuan had just put down his phone.

Zhou Mi had just put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Their movements were surprisingly synchronized, even the sounds produced by their actions occurred at the same time.

Then, they spoke simultaneously again.

"You..." "I..."

Liu Yuan: "What's wrong? You first."

Zhou Mi: "I'm finished eating."

"Mm... I'll go wash the dishes." Liu Yuan nodded expressionlessly.

Zhou Mi watched Liu Yuan clear the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, stacking them high, clattering.

She stared blankly as Liu Yuan carried a stack of utensils towards the kitchen.

Then, she heard the sound of the kitchen faucet.

This made her feel very confused.

Liu Yuan possesses the water spirit talent, does he still need tap water to wash dishes?

There was only one possibility.

He didn't want to be with her, and hand-washing would take longer.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mi's face showed bitterness.

Was she really that annoying?

She had originally thought that perhaps Liu Yuan said those humiliating words during the duel to ignite her fighting spirit, so she could become stronger with him.

She thought that perhaps Liu Yuan didn't dislike her.

But her best friend told her.

"This is typical 'simp' thinking."

"For a simp, the beloved must like them; he couldn't possibly dislike me. No matter what he did, there's a reason for it. How could he dislike me? There must be some hidden difficulty, maybe he has a terminal illness and doesn't want to burden me."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

How could Zhou Mi not understand?

She was half a Young Miss, after all; how could she go act like a simp in front of someone else?

She often asked herself.

What exactly do I like about Liu Yuan?

Do I like his strength?

But she liked him even when he wasn't strong.

It's truly strange.

Love begins unknowingly, yet deepens profoundly.

How disgusting...

But for some reason, upon seeing that ordinary, somewhat fair and tender face, her heart rate would involuntarily quicken.

Suddenly, she looked down and saw some strong liquor placed under the dining table, which looked like what Old Mr. Xiao drank.

She suddenly remembered hearing a very peculiar saying before.

If the human body's blood maintains a 0.05% alcohol content, many things will become very smooth.

Thinking of this, she suddenly involuntarily picked up that bottle of strong liquor.

She didn't know what 0.05% content meant, nor had she ever drunk such strong liquor. She opened the cap and chugged it down.

"It's quite smooth." Zhou Mi looked down at the wine bottle in her hand, her small face filled with confusion.

Didn't they all say strong liquor burns the throat?

She didn't understand.

A few more seconds passed, and she suddenly felt something was amiss; her desire to express herself seemed to have strengthened, and the impulse to go talk to Liu Yuan was suddenly amplified.

And it was amplified to an uncontrollable degree.

She suddenly put down the wine bottle and walked towards the kitchen, which was filled with the sound of washing.

But as she took a step, the sound of washing disappeared.

When she reached the kitchen doorway, Liu Yuan had just finished wiping his hands and was standing at the entrance, looking at her with some surprise and hesitation.

Liu Yuan seemed to take three deep breaths.

Suddenly, he and Zhou Mi spoke simultaneously again.

"I..." "You..."

This time, Zhou Mi, not knowing where she got the courage, smiled faintly and said, "I spoke first just now, now you speak first."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

Liu Yuan forced a smile and said, "Zhou... Mi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such humiliating words then."

"Please don't take it to heart."

Hearing this apology, Zhou Mi's heart was so calm that it startled her.

It wasn't just calm; there was also some sadness.

She couldn't understand why she was sad; it was just that seeing Liu Yuan smile awkwardly and apologize, she just... felt a little sad.

It was as if, in his eyes, she truly held no special significance.

Just a passerby.

Humiliated.

Then, afterwards, he realized he went a bit too far and came to apologize.

Zhou Mi's eyes suddenly sparkled with sadness from an unknown moment.

She pursed her lips, leaned against the wall, shook the wine bottle with her head down, then looked up at Liu Yuan with tear-filled eyes, staring intently, and said, "I don't..."

"I didn't take it to heart, it's fine."

After speaking, she turned around and wiped the corner of her eye.

She originally wanted to say, 'I don't forgive you.'

But she changed her mind halfway through.

Because she didn't know what meaning there was in saying 'I don't forgive you.'

It would only add to her sorrow.

The narrow, dim corridor.

Zhou Mi walked back towards the hall.

Liu Yuan looked at her back, and his Revered Master's words echoed in his mind.

A man should be decisive; decisions should not take more than a second, otherwise, he will miss many things and may not even make the correct choice.

He had just hesitated for almost five hours.

He found that his Revered Master was right.

Hesitation only makes one's heart more confused and more timid.

"Zhou Mi!"

Suddenly, Liu Yuan softly called out her name.

Zhou Mi's footsteps paused, she turned sideways, gazing blankly at Liu Yuan, her eyes suddenly filled with some anticipation, yet also fearing that the anticipation would be in vain.

Her brows furrowed into a knot, as if her heart was being casually stirred by a terrible man.

She suddenly noticed that Liu Yuan was very calm and rational at this moment, just as he was serious during his time at the Green Training Camp.

"The war is about to begin."

"Now is not the time for romance."

"If the war ends, and we are both still alive."

"I'll take you to Tianhe Waterfall to watch the stars."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mi suddenly felt as if all the nerves in her body had been drained, and she became dazed as if her soul had left her.

Because of Liu Yuan's last sentence.

Tianhe Waterfall is the most important military zone of Tianhe Pass, half alien race, half Human Race, it is a classic easily defensible but difficult to attack line.

If either side first occupies the Tianhe Waterfall, a position that holds all the advantages of time and terrain, then the scales of victory will gradually shift.

But from an unknown day, it was rumored that Tianhe Waterfall is the best place on this planet to observe the moon and stars, with an altitude of nearly ten thousand meters, bordering the sky; standing on top of the waterfall is standing above the clouds and mist.

It is truly beautiful, and also very difficult to reach, because of the numerous enemies.

If the heroes of Tianhe Pass truly want to grow old with someone, they should take that person to venture into that world bordering the sky.

It is dangerous enough; daring to go already requires immense courage, and being able to go is further proof of strength.

There, you will find the most beautiful starry sky under heaven.

It is also the place closest to the sky.

Therefore, promises made there can be witnessed by immortals.

That is the most extravagant romance under heaven, given only to the most deserving person.
