397: Chapter 367, didn't I just finish that plot?

Amidst Jiang You's intensely piercing and hardcore shouting.

Li Weiwei's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she finally stirred awake.

The moment she opened her eyes, her gaze was still filled with a hint of confusion and dullness.

Her Brain's memory was still stuck on the moment she had lunged out just before.

Li Weiwei looked around and discovered she was lying securely in Jiang You's arms, and he was looking at her with a concerned expression.

"Hmm? Did the mission succeed?"

Li Weiwei felt a surge of joy in her heart, but immediately after, a searing, dull pain shot across her forehead, making her gasp in pain.

That's not right!

She clearly remembered that when she was flying through the air just a moment ago, the figure of the man before her had vanished with a "whoosh"!

Then, her face had made intimate, zero-distance contact with the hard road.

That sensation, that pain—it didn't feel like a dream, did it?

Li Weiwei clutched her slightly dizzy head, looked at Jiang You with suspicion, and subconsciously blurted out:

"You... didn't you fail to catch me just now?"

Hearing this soul-searching question, Jiang You's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! The victim had exposed him on the spot!

If he admitted he had dodged, wouldn't that make him a cold-blooded, ruthless, purebred scumbag?

Where would he, Team Leader Jiang, put his face?

In a flash, his salted-fish thick-skinned attribute fully erupted!

Without changing his expression or missing a beat, Jiang You, sporting those calm dead-fish eyes, replied in a serious, even somewhat doting, elder-like tone:

"Silly child, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Were you scared silly by the out-of-control bicycle just now?"

"I'm such a big man standing right here; could I possibly fail to catch a frail little girl like you?"

Jiang You looked Li Weiwei straight in the eyes, shamelessly and frantically rewriting reality:

"When you flew over just now, I caught you securely in my arms. It's just that you were too timid; in your excitement, you got scared and fainted right in my arms!"

Li Weiwei: "???"

Her forehead was full of big question marks.

"I... is that so?"

Li Weiwei was completely thrown off by Jiang You's righteous and unhesitating attitude.

She rubbed her head in confusion.

The other party's expression was so sincere—could it be that the scene of her face hitting the ground was really just a hallucination caused by extreme fright?

Just as Li Weiwei was still doubting herself and attempting to reshape her memories.

She suddenly felt a warm sensation deep inside her nose.

Immediately after, a trickle of bright red, sticky blood flowed down from her nostril, over her philtrum, and dripped onto her chin.

Li Weiwei froze for a moment, reached into her pocket, pulled out a handkerchief, and gently wiped beneath her nose.

Looking at the glaring red bloodstains on the handkerchief, Li Weiwei's eyes became completely bewildered.

"Strange..."

She tilted her head back, stared blankly at Jiang You, and asked suspiciously: "If I was caught by you, then why is my nose bleeding?"

"..."

Jiang You nearly ground his back teeth to dust.

He really wanted to shout honestly: "Duh! Obviously, it's because you fell face-first onto the road and scraped it just now!"

But once a lie starts, it must be covered up by countless even more ridiculous lies!

If he admitted now that she had fallen, the tall, heroic image of a "hero saving the beauty" he had just established would completely collapse!

Jiang You swallowed hard, his Brain CPU burning frantically.

He forced himself to strike a deep, cool, and even slightly nonchalant pose.

He lowered his head slightly, gazed affectionately at Li Weiwei with those dead-fish eyes, and spouted nonsense with a straight face:

"A nosebleed? That's perfectly normal."

"It's probably because you're too close to me right now."

Jiang You sighed, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and his tone was filled with thick narcissism and helplessness:

"You know, like a man like me, radiating masculine charm from head to toe. For a naive little girl like you to be held so tightly in my arms, having your hormones surge and blood pressure rise, causing a little nosebleed... is only to be expected."

As his voice faded, the autumn wind blew through the street, swirling a fallen leaf.

Li Weiwei: "..."

Lying in Jiang You's arms, listening to this explosive display of narcissism, she went completely rigid.

Char... charm?! Hormones surging leading to a nosebleed?!

Li Weiwei felt that her worldview had suffered a devastating blow at this moment; her composure had shattered into pieces on the spot!

She swore that in her entire life, she had never seen such a bizarre creature with such thick skin and such an appalling level of narcissism!

"I'm not doing this anymore!"

Li Weiwei roared hysterically in her heart: "I'm not taking this mission! I'm going back to strangle that little bastard Heart Six for coming up with this terrible idea! Is this supposed to be a simple male college student? This is clearly a severe narcissist and a shameless top-tier jerk!"

But anger aside, as a key member carefully cultivated by the Wusheng Divine Sect, Li Weiwei's professional training forcefully pulled her back from the edge of losing it.

"Calm down! Li Weiwei, you must calm down!"

She frantically brainwashed herself: "No matter how narcissistic this guy is, he's just a male college student with a screw loose!"

"I, Li Weiwei, can absolutely handle him!"

Although there was a "minor accident" in the process just now, at least the result was good.

Isn't she now lying in this man's arms just as she wished?

As long as the first step succeeded, she could continue following the script!

"Thank you, classmate!"

Li Weiwei tilted her head up, a strand of hair falling perfectly against her cheek.

She spoke slowly, her voice so sweet it could practically stretch, gentle and pleasant, even carrying a slight tremor from being startled:

"It's a good thing you saved me just now, otherwise... otherwise if I had rushed down from that slope, I would have definitely been in danger."

This soft, glutinous voice drilled into his ears, and Jiang You couldn't help but freeze.

Such familiar lines! More than just familiar, it was as if someone had just pressed the replay button in his Brain!

Jiang You's eye twitched twice.

He really couldn't tell if he had entered some strange parallel world!

With a wooden expression, he gave the exact same answer as he had ten minutes ago:

"It's okay, classmate. It was just a small effort; helping others has always been a good virtue I uphold!"

While saying this, Jiang You stared intensely at Li Weiwei's eyes.

He prayed frantically in his heart: Young lady, hurry up and say thanks, then let's each go home, please don't continue down this path, I don't want to go through this plot again!

However, the situation developed in the direction Jiang You least wanted to see.

Li Weiwei bit her moist lower lip, and with a tone that was almost a murmur but carried a hint of playfulness, she chuckled and breathed orchid-like into Jiang You's ear:

"Since it was just a small effort... then why... haven't you put me down yet? Are you... reluctant to let go?"

Jiang You: "..."

This action! These lines! This syrupy, lingering tone!

It couldn't be said to be just very similar to the girl from ten minutes ago; it was absolutely, freaking identical!

"Whoosh!" Jiang You's face instantly flushed red to the roots of his neck, but not out of shyness—it was purely from being terrified by this bizarre turn of events!
