Chapter 40 Giving Gifts
Chu Li felt completely unwell. He sensed that his master had changed drastically after disappearing for so long. His master, who was always a man of his word, had changed his mind after just one lunch, and surprisingly, he no longer disliked women.
In the room, Lu Jinyan had her eyes closed as Chu Chu applied a hot towel to her eyes until they were no longer so red and swollen. Only then did Chu Chu tell Lu Jinyan to rest well before returning to her room to cultivate.
Although she knew her physical condition made cultivation almost impossible, what if she was lucky? She believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would definitely reap the rewards.
She knew that Chu Chu wouldn't stay here forever. Chu Chu had once said that her wish was to venture into the demon realm, but the outside world was full of dangers. She and Yan Yan were both powerless and had no magic at all. If they encountered danger, they would hardly be able to protect themselves.
Therefore, she wanted to cultivate diligently so that she could protect Yan Yan in the future. Even if her magic was weak, she could still protect herself and not cause trouble for Yan Yan.
After Chu Chu left, Lu Jinyan crossed her legs and chatted idly with the system: "System, do you think Mo Xuan really likes me?"
Lu Jinyan, a complete idiot when it comes to love, knew nothing about romance, so she was still a little uncertain. Although they had hugged, kissed, and held hands, Mo Xuan had never told her that he liked her.
But thinking about it, if Mo Xuan really likes her, that would be a good thing. After all, Mo Xuan is rich, handsome, and has high martial arts skills. Wouldn't it be much easier for him to conquer the demon realm in the future?
"Host, I'm still just a kid. I've never been in a relationship, so I don't really understand. But that's how I feel," the system replied while licking its paws.
Based on the current progress of the strategy, Mo Xuan's feelings for the host should be more than just liking, right?
"Tsk, is your intuition accurate?" Lu Jinyan scratched her hair in annoyance.
"Host, whether Mo Xuan likes you or not is not the point right now. The point is that he has stayed, so you should hurry up and start winning him over. After all, you should know that he can't really stay here forever. Even if he really wanted to, his family wouldn't let him do it!"
The system kindly reminded her, though the words weren't pleasant to hear, but honest advice is hard to swallow, otherwise she would be the one who suffered if she failed the task.
"Okay! I know, I know, I'll try my best. It's just a little over ten points short, don't worry, I can probably do it!" Lu Jinyan said this with a hint of guilt.
After all, Mo Xuan's favorability isn't something that can be easily increased. Even with the help of the Mandarin Duck Stone, it would still take about ten days, and she didn't have that much time.
After all, Mo Xuan's parents weren't the type to let him stay in a place like this, so she needed to hurry. But since the system said Mo Xuan liked her, the rest of the strategy shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Lu Jinyan lay in bed thinking about things and fell asleep without realizing it. She didn't wake up until the sun was setting.
Chu Chu was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Chu Li and Mo Xuan weren't home. Chu Chu said that the two of them had gone out in the afternoon to take care of some things and would be back later.
Lu Jinyan went to the kitchen to help Chu Chu cook. Before dinner was ready, Mo Xuan returned with Chu Li, carrying large and small bags.
"Mo Xuan, what did you buy? How come there are so many?" Lu Jinyan stared in disbelief at the things displayed in the yard, all kinds of things, big and small, as if the two of them had gone to rob a house.
"It's nothing. Since you've decided not to leave, I went and bought some daily necessities, and I also bought some for you." Mo Xuan said as he took things out of his storage bag, instructing Chu Li to sort and put the items away.
“Some???” Lu Jinyan felt that Mo Xuan might have some misunderstanding about the word “some”.
The courtyard was filled with chairs, benches, wardrobes, dressing tables, beds, chaise lounges, and several boxes, the contents of which were unknown.
"My master used to eat, wear, and use the best things. This town has limited resources, so we could only manage to collect these few items. Alas, my master has really suffered!"
As Chu Li sorted and put his things away, preparing to move in later, he muttered to himself that he really didn't understand why the master would choose to stay here instead of having a proper mansion.
This place is so run-down, you can't even buy a decent bed. I wonder how the owner has been living these past few days.
Hearing Chu Li's words, Lu Jinyan was momentarily at a loss for how to react. She felt that her family was quite well-off.
"Yan'er, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't dislike this place. I think it's quite nice. I bought these things just so you can stay more comfortably. Oh, by the way, these are the clothes and jewelry I bought for you. Do you like them?"
Mo Xuan glared at Chu Li, then took Lu Jinyan's hand and led her to look at clothes and jewelry. Lu Jinyan hadn't recovered from the way Mo Xuan addressed her when she was stunned by the several boxes of clothes and jewelry in front of her.
Wow, rich people are indeed rich! How much money must all these things have cost? Although she is also very rich, she still retains some of the stinginess from her previous life.
Having been thrifty in her past life, she couldn't change her ways overnight. Looking at the dazzling array of things in front of her, Lu Jinyan didn't know what to say.
"These...these are all for me?"
"Hmm, does Yan'er like it?" Mo Xuan was a little nervous. Chu Li was right. There really wasn't much good stuff to buy here. These things were already the best clothes and jewelry in town, but to him, they were still just inferior.
He was a little worried, afraid that Lu Jinyan wouldn't like it, so he felt very uncertain. If this were in the city, she could buy him whatever he wanted.
"I like it, of course I like it, but isn't this a bit too wasteful? With so many clothes, even if I changed into a different outfit every day, it would take me a long time to wear them all!"
Lu Jinyan looked at the things in front of her, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face. In all her life, apart from her grandparents, no one had ever given her anything. Moreover, Mo Xuan had given her several boxes. How could she not be happy?
Women are all the same when it comes to receiving gifts. They'll be happy as long as they receive a gift. Of course, what you give is very important. If you give her some random or random things, then that's a different story.
"I'm glad you like it!" Mo Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her say that she liked it.
