Chapter 37 Why are you crying?
"Alright, I'll tell you then. Right now, there's only one way: you have to find a way to delay Mo Xuan's departure. Whether you throw a tantrum or use threats and inducements, the important thing is not to let him go back so quickly. And while you're at it, you should quickly build up your favorability with him!"
"What if we can't hold out?"
"If you can't hold him off, then you'll have to resort to the last resort: follow him wherever he goes, shamelessly sticking with him until you've maxed out his favorability!"
"Will this work? What if he doesn't agree to take me with him?"
"Whether it will work or not, I don't know. It all depends on you. You are his savior. If you ask him to take you along, he shouldn't refuse. Then you can raise his favorability on the way, and you can also take the opportunity to go out and look for your next target!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyan thought it made some sense. After all, she had stayed here to wait for Chu Chu to take human form. Her original plan was to leave after Chu Chu took human form and then find a target to pursue.
Now that Chu Chu has successfully transformed into human form and Mo Xuan's favorability has reached 82, she definitely can't give up. The only way now is to follow Mo Xuan and wait until she reaches the last 18 points. Once that's enough, she'll have completed her mission and can then look for her next target.
"This..." Lu Jinyan was still unsure, but it seemed that there was no other way but to try this method.
Seeing Lu Jinyan's eyes were red with anxiety, the system, with a mischievous glint in its eye, didn't tell her that as long as the predetermined time hadn't passed, even if the target left the host's side, it wouldn't be immediately eliminated.
It's her fault for not doing her mission properly, so it's okay for her to retaliate a little, right?
Furthermore, judging from Mo Xuan's level of affection for her, he would definitely be very willing to take her along if the host took the initiative to suggest going with him.
Lu Jinyan's eyes were red and her mind was a complete mess. How could she delay Mo Xuan's departure?
Lu Jinyan felt that her brain was completely overwhelmed and she was extremely irritable. Meanwhile, Chu Chu was already chatting with Chu Li.
The two of them seemed to be having a good time, though it was unclear what they were talking about.
As soon as Mo Xuan returned, he saw Lu Jinyan watering the flowers with red eyes, and Chu Li chatting happily with Chu Chu.
"Master, it really is you! Thank goodness! Are you alright? You have no idea how worried I've been these past few days!"
Chu Li was chatting with Chu Chu, trying to find out about her master's situation these days, when she suddenly sensed her master's presence. She looked up and saw her master standing at the door, and her eyes welled up with tears of excitement.
Mo Xuan ignored Chu Li and walked straight toward Lu Jinyan.
"what happened to you?"
"Ah? I, I'm fine!" Lu Jinyan became even more anxious when she saw Mo Xuan return. All she could think about was how to delay his departure.
"Are you alright? If you're alright, why are your eyes red? Did someone bully you?" Mo Xuan's aura became heavy at the thought that someone had bullied her.
"No, no, I just accidentally got some sand in my eye. Oh, by the way, your friend is here to see you. You two chat, I'm going to cook!"
Fearing that Mo Xuan would notice something was amiss, Lu Jinyan quickly put the water bottle on the ground and then pulled Chu Chu away.
Mo Xuan frowned as he watched Lu Jinyan's retreating figure. He had a feeling that she was hiding something from him.
Chu Li's mouth dropped open, her face filled with disbelief.
The homeowner actually took the initiative to care about a woman? What exactly happened in the past month or so?
"Lord, master?"
"Come with me!" Mo Xuan sighed and led Chu Li to his room. The two chatted for a long time in the room, while Lu Jinyan absentmindedly cooked with Chu Chu in the kitchen.
She pondered how to keep Mo Xuan here, and if she couldn't, how to persuade him to take her with him.
After dinner was ready, the four of them sat together, and no one spoke. The meal was very quiet, but Chu Li really liked the food on the table and kept showing it off.
After dinner, Chu Chu went to clean up, and Chu Li also ran over to help. His real purpose was to find out what had happened in the past month from Chu Chu, but it was not to help.
Just now, while he was in the room with his master, his master didn't say much, but kept asking about the situation at home, while glossing over his own affairs. He was still somewhat curious.
Lu Jinyan was in a bad mood and preoccupied with her own thoughts. Instead of helping, she went out alone and wandered aimlessly through the streets. She wanted to be alone and think about what to do next.
Mo Xuan felt that Lu Jinyan was acting strangely as soon as she returned, but she didn't say anything, so he didn't know what had happened. Seeing that she barely ate anything during the meal and left right after finishing, he felt uneasy and secretly followed her.
She was walking aimlessly by herself, her back view resembling that of an abandoned puppy, evoking pity. Lu Jinyan continued walking along the street until she walked out of the city gate and reached the grove where she had met Mo Xuan.
To be honest, Lu Jinyan had no idea how she got here. Her mind was full of ideas, and it wasn't until she calmed down that she realized she was here.
She walked into the pavilion and sat there alone, staring blankly at the sky. Her mind was a mess, and she couldn't think of any solutions. She even thought, "What the hell? I'll just quit. At worst, I'll be wiped out, and then I can reunite with my grandparents."
But she felt unwilling to give up halfway; giving up halfway was not her style. A gust of wind blew by, and Lu Jinyan covered her eyes and kept rubbing them.
What a run of bad luck! How could I get sand in my eyes just from going out for a walk? What terrible luck!
"Lu Jinyan, you..." Mo Xuan had been following her from a distance, but when he suddenly saw her shoulders trembling and her eyes rubbing, he remembered the scene of her red eyes earlier.
"Huh? Mo, Mo Xuan, what are you doing here!?" Lu Jinyan rubbed her eyes and turned to look at Mo Xuan with a surprised expression.
Mo Xuan looked at Lu Jinyan, whose eyes were red and whose tears were dripping down like broken pearls, and felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'll stand up for you!" Seeing her tears, Mo Xuan felt inexplicably nervous and heartbroken.
