"You... let me think about it... okay?..."
Hearing Patchouli's reply, softer than a mosquito's buzz, Wu Yan fell silent.
Think about it?...
The arrow was already on the string, and she still said something like "let me think about it." That probably meant there was no chance.
But that was still better than an outright rejection, wasn't it?...
Patchouli had not explicitly rejected him. At the very least, that proved Wu Yan was worth considering in her eyes.
Moreover, as he touched Patchouli's soft body, Wu Yan could clearly sense the hesitation in her heart. Besides hesitation, there was also a little fear.
That was hardly strange.
No matter how long Patchouli had lived or how vast her knowledge was, how could she possibly not be afraid when facing the most important first time in her life?...
Since that was the case, Wu Yan could only sigh inwardly, release Patchouli's unforgettable soft body, and stand up.
"Phew..." Patchouli let out a long breath, curling up her naked body as she looked at Wu Yan with a flushed face.
"You... go out first..."
"I know. You don't need to remind me..." Wu Yan snorted coldly, looking somewhat irritated as he walked toward the door.
Although he had not forced Patchouli, being rejected by her still made Wu Yan rather angry.
After all, Yagokoro Eirin's medicine was still affecting him, leaving him in an extremely irritable state.
That made Patchouli feel a little sorry for him. Looking at his gradually retreating back, she blurted out something without thinking.
"I'll think it over properly. Next time, I'll definitely give you an answer!"
Wu Yan's body abruptly paused, but only briefly. The next second, he started walking again, opened Patchouli's door, and left without looking back.
