Chapter 66 Terrifying the White-Haired Loli

Mira could tell that the true history was far more complex than what she had learned from those ancient texts and historical records.

It also seemed to be much heavier than she had imagined...

Unconsciously, Mira lowered her eyes and looked at her hands resting on her knees, her expression complicated.

"I... everything I wanted to ask, I've already finished asking..."

"If... if you have nothing else to do, you can leave now..."

At this moment, the accident Mira was most worried about...

finally happened.

Xu Ruo, who had been calm, suddenly curled his lips into a bone-chilling smile—

"Oh~?"

"Earlier when I wanted to go, you wouldn't let me..."

"Now that you've just finished asking your questions, you're in a hurry to drive me away..."

"Do you take me for some kind of toy that you can summon and dismiss at your whim?"

"What if I say that I don't want to leave now?"

Mira's heart skipped a beat.

Looking up, she saw Xu Ruo watching her, the smile on his lips growing more intense.

That half-smiling expression immediately set off alarm bells in Mira's heart!

"What... what are you going to do..."

"I'm warning you, intimidating a loli is illegal..."

She instinctively shrank back, looking at Xu Ruo warily.

Xu Ruo leaned down slightly and slowly approached Mira.

Mira's entire body froze.

She watched helplessly as that smiling face gradually enlarged before her eyes.

He was so close she could almost feel his breath!

Mira could even clearly hear her own heartbeat; it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat!

In this moment, her mind went blank.

All her thoughts stopped functioning!

Xu Ruo's smile became more and more apparent.

Just as Mira was about to close her eyes in spite of herself—

Xu Ruo suddenly stopped.

His breath brushed against Mira's face.

At the same time, he whispered in a very soft voice near Mira's ear:

"Mira..."

"I've told you everything you wanted to know..."

"Now, it's your turn to tell me, isn't it?"

"Tell me... everything about you..."

Mira's tense body finally relaxed slightly.

Her face, which was already flushed red, became even redder because of Xu Ruo's breath.

Not daring to meet Xu Ruo's eyes, Mira's gaze darted around frantically, her lips trembling:

"Wha-what..."

Xu Ruo leaned in another inch.

He used two fingers to gently grip Mira's exquisite chin, forcing her to look directly into his eyes as he said word by word:

"It's simple. Tell me..."

"What exactly did you dream about?"

"How do you know that my master's name is Lilia?"

Almost instinctively, Mira squeezed her eyes shut.

The smile on Xu Ruo's close-up face suddenly became dangerous.

She only felt warm breath brushing against her ear.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, he continued in a deep tone:

"Regarding all of this..."

"Is it appropriate to keep it hidden until now and not tell me?"

Mira gave a violent shudder!

Her whole body was so tense she even trembled slightly!

She didn't even dare to breathe anymore, unable to say a single word.

Xu Ruo stopped pressuring her, simply maintaining his slightly leaning posture, watching her quietly.

His expression remained calm throughout; there was no urging, nor did he apply any further threats.

Mira kept her eyes closed like that, her teeth biting her lip, remaining motionless for a long time.

Finally, she let out a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.

She met Xu Ruo's eyes once again.

Feeling the tranquility in his gaze, which wasn't unpleasant.

Mira bit her lip and finally made a decision—

"I... I dreamed of her."

"I dreamed of the scene where she seemingly met you for the first time. It was in a sparsely populated mountain stream..."

"You were slapped unconscious by her."

"And later..."

"With just a few kicks, she almost knocked you out..."

As Mira recounted the story, Xu Ruo's expression slowly changed.

Memories also began to wake up in his mind bit by bit...

Finally, he couldn't help but start laughing.

Looking at Xu Ruo's smiling face.

Mira seemed to be infected by it; she was no longer as afraid of contact with the current Xu Ruo as she was just now.

"These... are what you saw in your dream?"

"Uh... can I say no?"

Mira tested cautiously.

The imagined scene of "silencing the witness" did not happen.

After learning about this, Xu Ruo only very gently rubbed her small head—

"As you wish. I basically know enough about the situation now."

After a long time.

Xu Ruo slowly paced to the door, closed his eyes, and suddenly said softly:

"Mira..."

"Thank you for today."

Mira was slightly stunned.

Looking at Xu Ruo's profile, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"Thank me for what?"

"Nothing..."

After saying those last few words, Xu Ruo opened the door and, under Mira's complicated gaze, turned and left without hesitation.

Until Xu Ruo's figure completely disappeared...

Mira's tense, delicate body finally began to relax.

The brief contact with Xu Ruo just now felt like a thrilling experience.

Thinking back on it, it was still heart-pounding and made her heart race.

Mira took a weary deep breath and rubbed her reddened cheeks.

Recalling the last sentence Xu Ruo said when he left, she murmured:

"Thanking me...?"

"But... was he thanking me, or thanking Lilia?"
