Chapter 974: Zi Lin with low self-esteem.
"Tatsu Shao. ”
Gently kneading her temples, Zi Lin glanced at Mu Chen a little weakly, and barely showed a smile.
Seeing Zi Lin like this, Mu Chen frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Zi Lin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zi Lin shook her head slightly and replied, "It's okay, it's just that refining the pill has caused excessive consumption of mental power, and you will recover after a little rest." ”
The wild wolf who had originally stopped in front of Mu Chen also took a deep breath, and said a little incredulously, "What kind of elixir is this refining, I haven't seen you consume so much before." ”
Zi Lin smiled, "It's a special elixir for Chen Shao to recover the depletion of his Yuan power." ”
Mu Chen was stunned and said strangely, "Special?"
Zi Lin snorted and pushed the door open a little, but she leaned against the door and said to Mu Chen, "Chen Shao come in first." ”
Mu Chen answered, nodded to the wolf, and walked in. As soon as he entered, Mu Chen once again smelled the aroma that made his dantian work.
It was Zilin, who turned around with difficulty, and wanted to take a step forward, but found that his movements were completely out of his consciousness, the height of the step he raised was insufficient, his toes scraped on the ground, and the whole person suddenly leaned forward.
Mu Chen, who was in front of him, suddenly noticed a soft cry behind him, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Zilin's somewhat panicked cheeks and toppled figure. Without any hesitation, Mu Chen directly stretched out his hands and naturally supported Zilin's body steadily.
It's just that because the distance between the two is too close, the moment Mu Chen turned around, Zi Lin's cheeks and chest had already fallen into Mu Chen's arms. Feeling Mu Chen's calm and reliable chest, Zilin's pale cheeks instantly rose with a distinct flush, as if even her heart, which had long been unaware of warmth, was burning.
And this scene was just seen by the wild wolf standing outside the door, only to see the wild wolf stunned for a moment and then smiled at Mu Chen, and took the open door with him in a timely manner. This action suddenly made the corners of Mu Chen's mouth twitch wildly, and he always felt that the mad wolf looked at him a little obscene when he closed the door.
But that's not the point, the point is that Zilin's current body is so weak that she has a big problem even lifting her steps! This is definitely not the result of mental overdraft.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen reached out and grabbed Zi Lin's wrist, and a subtle wisp of spiritual power sank into Zi Lin's body in an instant, and in an instant, Mu Chen discovered something that shocked him.
Opening his mouth, Mu Chen frowned and asked, "Senior Zilin, where is your Yuan Li?"
Zi Lin leaned on Mu Chen's arms at this time, her wrist was grabbed by Mu Chen again, and the feeling of powerlessness in her whole body quickly turned into a sense of dependence, almost making her fall asleep.
But just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard Mu Chen's slightly reproachful question, and for a moment Zilin's heart panicked, and she said incoherently, "Yuan Li? yes, what about my Yuan Force?"
Mu Chen sighed lightly, Zi Lin couldn't help but finish her words, grabbed Zi Lin's wrist with her right arm and bypassed Zi Lin's body, directly hooked Zi Lin's leg crook, and hugged her with a slight force.
Zi Lin was thinking of a reason, and suddenly found that her center of gravity had been completely lost, and she exclaimed, but when she moved her gaze up, she found that Mu Chen's cheeks became so close to her at some point, and the expression on her face instantly froze, and her brain forgot to think, allowing Mu Chen to hold herself and slowly move to her bed.
It wasn't until Mu Chen gently placed her on the bed and helped her cover the quilt that Zi Lin woke up from her sudden awakening. Seeing Mu Chen's ice-blue eyes staring at him with some anger, Zi Lin subconsciously dragged the quilt upwards with both hands, completely blocking her cheeks, only revealing a pair of overwhelmed eyes to the side, not daring to look at Mu Chen.
Seeing Zilin's appearance, Mu Chen actually wanted to laugh in his heart, after all, Zilin's current behavior is simply what a little girl looks like when she makes a mistake, how can she have the posture that an old-timer should have. However, Mu Chen would not let Zi Lin go because of this, and continued to ask seriously, "Respected Zi Lin's senior, please tell me, where is your Yuan Li?"
Hearing Zi Lin ask again, Zi Lin was really panicked, she never seemed to feel this feeling. Being blamed and questioned, but as if she was afraid that the other party would be angry, she didn't understand what it was like, but for a moment she felt very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
Mu Chen, who was looking at Zilin, suddenly found that Zilin's eyes were turning red, and there was gradually a mist brewing inside, and he was shocked, and waved his hand again and again, "Uh... Senior Zilin, what are you doing, why are you crying?"
As soon as Mu Chen's words came out, Zi Lin snorted, glared at Mu Chen and said angrily, "Who did you say was crying?"
Not to mention, Zi Lin's glance directly stunned Mu Chen. The corners of Mu Chen's mouth twitched, and he said embarrassedly, "No... Didn't cry, I read it wrong. ”
Seeing Mu Chen's embarrassed look, Zi Lin broke into anger and laughed, and said angrily, "It's pretty much the same." ”
“......”
While speaking, Zi Lin exhaled softly and said to Mu Chen, "Don't call me senior or you in the future, I'm not afraid of you laughing... In fact, except for age, I don't have much emotional experience, I don't know what family affection is, I don't know what love is, and I don't know what friendship is. So... In terms of expression skills, I'm afraid I'm not as good as a twenty-year-old girl. ”
Mu Chen was slightly stunned, and the embarrassment on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a touch of memory. He remembered that Zilin had told her about her past. When she looked at Zi Lin again, she found that Zi Lin actually showed an expression that was completely inconsistent with her identity, it was... Low self-esteem, thick inferiority!
"I know that grievances can be uncomfortable, but I don't know what kind of discomfort is called grievances, or whether all discomforts are grievances. I don't know what it means to be liked or what it means to be liked. I don't know what it's like to like someone or what it's like to be liked. I don't know what kind of people are called friends, are all people who can communicate are friends, or are all friends as long as they know whether they can communicate or not? It's really confusing..."
Speaking of this, the inferiority complex on Zilin's face became more and more obvious. Looking at the look on Zi Lin's face and listening to Zi Lin's words, Mu Chen's heart felt a twitching pain. Before the age of twelve, he always thought that he was the saddest, most despicable, and most existential ant in the world, with nothing.
But after stepping on this continent, he realized that when he was the saddest, most despicable, and most existential, he got the most precious, true, and happiest thing in this world, that is, true love and sincerity!
At least he knows what it means to be loved by his relatives, what it means to care, and what it means to have someone to care, what it means to be wronged, what it means to be jealous, what it means to hate, and what it means to like... What is liked, what is a friend, and what... It's called the enemy.
