Shen Luo, Why Do You Like Me?

This time she didn't try to get too much; she only unloaded as much as she needed for the level 20 breakthrough materials, since there was probably going to be another battle soon.

Bibi Dong removed the scales, she observed the surrounding scenery. Bi Ji's target had not yet appeared, but given the commotion she had just caused, someone might arrive soon.

After obtaining the breakthrough materials, she jumped off the Sky Azure Bull Python and walked towards Qian Daoliu.

"So, could you sense Bi Ji's presence?"

"Without."

Qian Daoliu immediately added, "If not, we'll just wait in the forest. We'll stay here and see if she doesn't come out."

Bi Ji possesses the same five-star character breakthrough material that she and Qian Renxue share, so there's no way she'd give up and return today.

Shen Luo, who was in Spirit City, was unaware of Qian Daoliu's plans in the forest.

He wasn't planning to draw any cards today; he just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Furina.

This guy has been in bed all day.

Of course, Shen Luo Shen Luo didn't know whether Furina got out of bed while he was outside.

"Fufu?"

Shen Luo drew the curtain, snapped his fingers, and bathed the entire space in light.

He saw the little bundle curled up on the bed, round and plump; even just looking at her from the outside, he could imagine her position in bed.

Furina stirred slightly, which convinced Shen Luo that she was not asleep at all.

"Fufu?"

Shen Luo spoke with a smile, and called out gently again.

This time, Furina didn't move at all. She curled up in the blankets, round and chubby, as if she were playing a game of "Red Light, Green Light" with Shen Luo.

Shen Luo sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted the blanket, roughly determining that it was where Furina's buttocks were.

He saw the guy under the blanket tremble, and his smile widened even more.

"Alright, stop pretending and get up now."

This time, Shen Luo gave the "buttocks" two hard slaps.

The blanket was suddenly pulled off, and Furina, rubbing her head, glared at Shen Luo with resentment. "Why did you hit my head? And so hard!"

"Head?"

Shen Luo was taken aback. "I thought that was your butt. No, why are you sleeping upside down?"

"Hmph, I'm happy to!"

Actually, before Shen Luo walked in, Furina, who was peeking at the scene outside, immediately ran to the bed. In her panic, she didn't even know what was going on and immediately pulled back the covers and shrank inside.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Shen Luo grabbed Furina, who was about to lie down again, and placed his hands on her shoulders, forcibly turning her around to face him.

She hadn't dared to look him in the eye since last night; if their eyes accidentally met, she would instantly blush.

Seeing Furina's reaction, Shen Luo couldn't help but laugh again, "Why are you blushing?"

"Huh? No, no!"

Furina hurriedly raised her small hand to touch her cheek, then immediately lowered it, her eyes darting around.

Shen Luo: "Not yet, there's already moisture Vaporize from your face."

Really???

Furina immediately grabbed a mirror and looked at herself. Realizing she had been deceived by Shen Luo, she was so angry she didn't know what to say. She shoved the mirror into Shen Luo's arms, crossed her arms, and snorted fiercely.

"Fufu is so cute."

"No way!"

Shen Luo patted her head and explained, "Okay, I didn't see anything yesterday, don't overthink it."

"Nonsense, I haven't thought about that at all."

You're so hypocritical! Your cheeks clearly turned even redder when this was mentioned.

After a moment, Furina stubbornly looked up again and muttered softly, "And you definitely saw it; your expression at the time was exactly the kind of expression you had when you saw it."

What expression?

Shen Luo really didn't remember.

"A thug's expression!"

"Huh??? Really? That's pure slander! I'm just dumbfounded."

"Look! You admitted it! You saw it!"

Well, after going around in circles, we've come full circle.

Yes, I saw it. Not only did I see it, but the second time was much clearer than the first.

The delicate pinkish color was truly... indescribable.

"What should we do then?"

Shen Luo asked deliberately, sitting closer to Furina and holding up two fingers. "I have two options; it's up to you which one you choose."

"First, I'll show you mine too, of course, only by accident. After all, I'm a man of principle and don't casually reveal my private information."

Upon hearing this, Furina rolled her eyes in utter disdain.

Shen Luo smiled, then suddenly his expression became more serious as he raised his second finger.

"The second way is... you become my girlfriend. Since we're in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, this is perfectly normal, and you don't need to feel guilty."

After explaining the second method, Furina pursed her lips, and the eye-roll she had just made instantly disappeared, replaced by a blink.

She glanced at Shen Luo with some surprise.

Shen Luo nodded. "What's wrong?"

If Furina refused, Shen Luo could understand, after all, he knew about the girl's life, while Furina had only spent less than a week with him.

Furina shook her head, and after a moment said, "Shen Luo, you are my first true friend. You understand me very well, and I finally have someone I can confide in."

You're fine.

"Although I know what being in a relationship means, I've never experienced it. I probably wouldn't be a good girlfriend."

"So..."

Shen Luo: "So I got friend-zoned and rejected."

Furina pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

Shen Luo let out a sigh of relief and patted Furina's head, "It's okay, don't feel pressured even if you reject me."

"So, are we still friends?"

She raised her head to look at Shen Luo, her eyes flashing with caution.

"Certainly."

"Really? Don't lie to me."

I'm not lying to you.

Shen Luo answered seriously.

Furina finally smiled, but her expression was somewhat worried, and Shen Luo seemed to see self-blame in her eyes.

Is this guy feeling guilty for rejecting me?

Honestly, rejecting me is your right, so why are you blaming yourself?

Shen Luo felt a pang of heartache and suddenly regretted telling her about the second option.

He said half-jokingly, "Alright, since you rejected the second option, it's equivalent to accepting the first one. I mean what I say."

Seeing Shen Luo place his hand on his waistband, Furina panicked and hurriedly said, "No! I... I forgive you!"

"So, will you still avoid me from now on?"

"I'm not hiding anymore!"

Shen Luo was very satisfied with the answer. He looked at Furina sitting next to him, took a deep breath, and lay down.

What an exhausting day.

"Shen Luo, why do you like me?"

At that moment, Furina, who was sitting next to her, suddenly asked this question.
