Chapter 654 Love Confession
Chapter 654 Love Confession
After finally arriving at the oasis, the team of travelers breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone jumped off the pack animals and untied the "tents" they were carrying to let them relax.
Sora led the pack animals to a place near the lower reaches of the lake for some drinking water, while Sue and Paimon cleared a place to rest on the grass upstream.
Paimon lay on the carpet in a big letter shape, "Oh, I feel so sleepy."
She wanted to sleep after sitting shakily on the pack animal.
Su: "Then Paimeng, take a nap first. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Su took out the lantern that Lisa had given her. The faint fragrance could drive away scorpions, insects, mosquitoes and snakes that might be in the grass. She also set up a protective barrier and went to the lake with peace of mind.
——*——*——
Gabriel put down the rainforest scholar in his hand and began to clean up and build a safe temporary camp.
Jade looked at the useless scholar and her busy father, kicking the weeds by the lake out of boredom, and suddenly stopped.
Jade: "Dad, I want to go to the other side and play for a while."
Gabriel looked up and saw a girl in a white dress sitting on the other side of the lake.
Gabriel: "...Go ahead, and be safe."
Jade had lived with him since she was a child and had no fixed place to live and no fixed playmates. Whenever she met girls of similar age, she would chat with them or play games with them.
The girl who could walk through the desert and appear in the oasis while remaining so relaxed must be no ordinary girl sitting across the lake.
But Gabriel respected Jade's decision and focused most of his attention on his daughter.
Jade waded through the shallow lake water and walked towards the other side. The silhouette of the girl in white dress hidden behind the reeds became clearer and clearer.
The girl seemed unable to bear the scorching heat of the desert sun and was scooping up water to feel the coolness. Her outstretched arms were like a jade pot pouring out two streams of milk.
The girl looked up, revealing a beautiful face that Jade had never seen before.
Jade's words of greeting were stuck in her mouth, and she felt like her soul was sucked into the other person's eyes.
Jade spoke a long string of words fluently while her mind was in a tangle. When she stopped, she heard her own violent heartbeat and then slowly realized what she had just said.
——*——*——
Su was washing vegetables by the lake. After cleaning the ingredients, he rolled up his sleeves and started washing his hands. The lake in the oasis was clear and cool, and it was very comfortable to play in the water.
When Su looked up after hearing the noise, he saw a girl with blue-purple hair and dressed as a desert mercenary walking towards him.
The man looked a little older than her, but he looked like he had been through a lot of battles. In addition to the clear waistline, there were also cross-cutting scars on his exposed waist and abdomen.
Before Su asked this strange guy what he wanted, he started to recite a desert-style love poem. After introducing himself, he said that he fell in love with Su at first sight and asked Su if he wanted to be her lover and be together forever.
Su:……
Love at first sight is just lust! Could this guy... be a Zhenling?
As if she sensed something from Su's expression, the girl who called herself Jade suddenly stepped forward and expressed her feelings loudly.
"I'm sorry, it's my first time falling in love at first sight too. No offense!... It's okay if you reject me. I won't cry."
Su snorted coldly, "I will reject you whether you cry or not."
Jade, whose first love at first sight ended in failure, lowered her head, and then heard the girl's proud and serious voice.
"However, since you are the first person to confess to me, I promise that I will always remember you."
Jade opened her eyes wide, and her heartbeat, which had been depressed due to the rejection, became intense again.
It was as if her heart had turned into an overfilled bud, with layer upon layer of petals blooming, filling her entire chest cavity.
Su nodded to the girl named Jade, calmly left the lake and went to reunite with his friends.
Sora had returned, and the well-fed pack animals lay at the edge of the camp.
When Kong looked up, he saw the girl's blushing face.
He was stunned, and before he could ask what happened, Su jumped up excitedly on the spot.
Paimon woke up in shock, "What happened? Is it an earthquake?!"
Su and his friends huddled together and whispered about their adventures, "I was confessed to! Hee... cough!"
Paimon's sleepiness completely disappeared. She looked at Sora with wide eyes and found that Sora was even more shocked than her.
Paimon: It’s not you, Sora…?
Kong: No!
Su Nanyan happily recounted what had just happened, emphasizing her mature, steady and appropriate response.
Sora and Paimon had indescribable expressions on their faces.
Resolutely rejected the confession, but promised to remember the other person forever...
Wouldn’t this make the other party even more reluctant to give up?
Paimon looked at the girl whose face was full of expressions of "How about I be awesome!" and other compliments, and after a long silence, he patted Sora's shoulder.
Paimon: "Sora, quickly teach her the correct way to reject a confession!"
The child's charm is increasing day by day. If she is not guided correctly, she may become a well-known scumbag in time!
Sora: "But... I've rarely been confessed to, so I don't have much experience in this area."
Now it was Su's turn to be surprised, "What? I don't believe it!"
Kong is a veteran traveler, he has been to many places, seen many landscapes, met many people, and Kong is so nice! How could there not be many people confessing their love to him!
Kong felt a little embarrassed when talking about love-related topics. After thinking for a while, he decided to express his true thoughts.
"Because there are too few people who can keep up with us."
He and his sister have been to many places, seen many landscapes, and met many people together, but neither of them has ever been in love, because there are too few people who can keep up with their existence.
He had had travel companions who had accomplished a great feat together or walked a distance with him, and many people who had helped him or gotten along with him had expressed their affection for him, but very few had confessed their love to him.
After he thanks and then flatly rejects the confession, the other party will retreat to their original position.
After he went to the new world, the story had no sequel.
Su from the Reading Group Novel concluded: "To put it in a metaphor, Empty's Past is a fantasy travelogue that records many heroic and epic stories, but the romance part has a bad ending."
Sora smiled and added, "For us, there are many things we can do, and love is not a necessity."
"And from what I've observed in the past, most Immortals are not sensitive to love. This seems to be an influence at the instinctive level."
Powerful races often have difficulty in having offspring, and immortal beings are not sensitive to love.
These influences that arise at the genetic and instinctive levels can almost be considered one of the hidden rules of the universe.
Paimon looked at Sora, "There are many people who have expressed their affection for Sora..."
Sora looked puzzled, "That's the love and trust between friends."
Paimon:...
No wonder Kong always looks so wooden. It turns out he is just like Su. He has no idea that the other person likes him unless they confess directly to him!
Sora changed the subject, "Anyway, the advice I can give you is that if you don't like someone, just politely refuse them outright."
Sue: "Yeah! I rejected it directly! Because I have no feelings for her at all."
Sora: "Of course, it's better not to add the words 'I will always remember you'."
Su: "No, no, this is the treatment only given to the first person who confesses to me."
Paimon and Sora both held their foreheads, "Don't give special treatment to a suitor who refuses you!"
Doing so may cause the other party to misunderstand and become even more unwilling to give up. This girl really has the talent to be a scumbag!
Su fell on the felt blanket, "What a trouble!"
Why do I have to consider the feelings of the pursuer? Won't love be more troublesome? No more!
