CHAPTER 06 If one cannot even dislike, how can one hate

"What are you reluctant to part with? Why are you suddenly changing the subject?" I avoided Simon's gaze, feeling somewhat embarrassed

Enough! Simon said sternly. I don't know why, but I could detect a hint of reluctance in his words. I thought I must have misheard.

Oh? So you mean it was your grandmother who took him in because she felt sorry for him

Do you like it? Simon's words carried his usual air of arrogance, yet his tone was exceedingly gentle

Then why can't you give up

The room was enveloped in silence for a long time. Finally, Simon moved his lips, his expression complex. With a wave of his hand, the "Heart of Flame" turned to dust

No need! Am I someone who can be easily taken away!

Other people ... ... you need not concern yourself with

Simon's innocent demeanor always makes me feel as though I am the one who has done something wrong, even though he is the one who is lying

There is no need! I looked at him coldly, still feeling somewhat displeased in my heart

Thank you. I interrupted Lan Chujie and gave him a hug.

Are we playing here? We are... ... learning! I express my protest

"Hmph! Who do you think you are to control me?" Lan Chujie’s reaction instantly lifted Simon’s spirits. He smiled proudly and then turned to me, saying, "Why did you let this guy take you home? Do you know what kind of person he is? What if you encounter danger? What if he does something bad to you?"

"It's nothing." Simon continued to conceal.

Lan Chujie was taken aback by my sudden action for quite a while, and only then did he respond with, "It's alright"

The moment the black box was opened, a flame-like red burst into my view. Although I had seen it countless times on the blueprints, I could not help but exclaim when I saw the actual object.

In addition to the "dummy dolls," many other figurines also emerged, leaving me so astonished that I was rendered speechless

But... I glanced out the window, "It's almost dark, where are we going?"

Simon earnestly assured me repeatedly, finally dispelling my worries. For the next two hours, Simon and I nearly tried all the attractions in the amusement park. Not only did I have a great time, but he did as well. We also engaged in some thrilling and exciting rides. Hearing Simon scream made me almost laugh until I couldn't stand up straight. Later, an embarrassed and angry Simon directly hoisted me onto his shoulders, which finally made me behave, though not out of fear, but rather out of shyness. We also engaged in some thrilling and exciting rides. Hearing Simon scream made me almost laugh until I couldn't stand up straight. Later, an embarrassed and angry Simon directly hoisted me onto his shoulders, which finally made me behave, though not out of fear, but rather out of shyness.

Simon's words gave me an uneasy feeling; I wanted to stop him from continuing, yet I yearned to know the truth

As Simon's voice faded, a transparent glass dome gradually rose around the amusement park. Then, Simon pulled me straight towards the glass dome, and just when I thought we were going to collide with it, the glass dome surprisingly parted like water, leaving an opening for us to enter.

"You are not allowed to call her that!" Simon seemed to have completely entered a "frenzy" state

Ah ... ...

One cannot say it like this either

Simon let out a cold snort, completely disregarding Lan Chujie, his gaze passing over the other person and still resting on my face

No way! Simon would not deceive me! The "Heart of Flame" must be a relic left to him by his mother! It certainly serves no other purpose!

Ah, it is... it is beneath this sea, quite far away. I really enjoy exploring, and to be honest, I do not even know what it is called; I discovered it by chance.

"Simon, what’s wrong with you? You wouldn’t be so excited about finding the things your mother left for you that you’ve become visible, would you? Haha, look, you’ve scared him into fainting. Fortunately, Grandma has gone out for a walk." I gathered my spirits and said casually.

Simon's serious words made my heart skip a beat, and I couldn't dare to look directly into his eyes. I just responded vaguely, urging him to help tidy up quickly before I left.

Are you still asking me what is wrong? You are being too ostentatious! By using your magical power on such a large scale, you will attract the 'Enforcers'!

No! No! Why did Simon suddenly become like this after obtaining the "Heart of Flame"?

"Are you the person who contacted me online?" I walked over to Simon and asked the man.

I don't know when it started, but it seems that as long as I am with Simon, I am not afraid even if we are fighting monsters, hmm...! It feels like Simon himself is the "magic," so let's fight "Ultraman!" Hehe. This is our first time going out together, so let's treat it as a date. Of course, I won't voice this thought.

That is how it is, so it is just a temporary stay. The main reason is that my grandmother feels he has nowhere else to go, so...

What? Simon is apologizing to me

I did not expect Lan Chujie to say such a thing, I was taken aback for a moment, but I still resolutely shook my head

"How is that possible? I might as well bully him."

"Why is it none of my business? These are my belongings, and I do not like others touching them"

"Does he really live in your house?" Lan Chujie asked incredulously, redirecting the attention back to me.

Perhaps this action was somewhat abrupt, and after Lan Chujie realized it, he immediately withdrew his hand, while simultaneously explaining: "I didn't mean to, I was just..."

A busy day has passed just like that, and I stand in front of the bar, massaging my somewhat sore arms

Simon suddenly turned around, a fleeting hint of unmasked sadness flashing in his eyes, which made my heart race

"Yes, what is it?"

Upon hearing my words, Simon's face alternated between shades of blue and white. He simply decided to turn a blind eye, letting out a cold snort as he shifted his gaze away.

"I am sorry." Simon apologized

"What does it have to do with you?" I probably felt a bit intimidated by Simon's imposing presence, so my response was somewhat lacking in confidence

After Lan Chujie left, I was also preparing to sneak back to my room, but unexpectedly, my wrist was grasped by Simon, who seemed to have sensed it beforehand

What happened? I asked

"Two of them." Lan Chujie said as he walked over to me, "He must have bullied you; otherwise, how could you be feeling down?"

"Today, let me take you back. How about I buy you some ice cream?" Lan Chujie winked at me, as if teasing a child, with a particularly cute expression

After entering the room, Simon held the box containing the "Heart of Flame," his hands trembling slightly with excitement, and I found myself becoming tense as well, influenced by his emotions

Isn't it good that I help you? I am just joking

Is it easy? Shouldn't he be furious instead?

Oh... I mumbled, continuing to flip through the album in my hands. If you are here regarding the student council, Shishi and Kexin are not here; they will return later.

"Why didn't you tell Grandma?" Simon asked first, standing at the door, seeing that I had no intention of speaking.

Although Simon's actions were quite ambiguous, I rarely felt shy or evasive, solely because the sincerity in Simon's eyes moved me

To be honest, what angers me more than the major news of conquering Planet M6 is that Simon actually deceived me, because I once thought I was special to him. Ever since he helped me fix the chain on my bicycle, ever since he helped me resolve the rumors at school, ever since he asked me for the candy in my mouth, ever since he created a dreamlike amusement park experience for me, I have been unable to let go of him in my heart. However, I did not expect that reality would give me a resounding slap in the face. Worse still, I awkwardly discovered that I still cannot bring myself to hate Simon.

I hope you like it! Besides today, I wish for you to be happy every day in the future. Yue Yinyin, promise me that you will always stay this happy. " Simon said, holding my face as he pulled away the big bear that I was hugging.

"Simon, is this true?" Hearing the man's urging, I turned my head to look at Simon and asked

Simon glanced at the bicycle being supported by Lan Chujie, his expression as cold as frost that had not melted for millennia

Upon hearing my words, Simon's gaze flickered for a moment before returning to normal

Recalling the last time Simon drove me home, I felt my heart race unexpectedly.

The facilities of the amusement park began to move slowly, with the singing carousel, the thrilling roller coaster, and the gently rotating Ferris wheel, all creating a breathtaking beauty

I glanced at Simon and saw him standing there, completely stiff and frozen in place

West... Simon, what is wrong with you... '' As I watched Simon's black hair gradually turn silver, paired with those captivating red eyes and the '' Heart of Flame '', he seemed like a demon coming from hell! At this moment, an overwhelming and terrifying aura emanated from him!

Yue Yinyin

This! This! This! I pulled out the hand that Simon was holding, my hands flailing everywhere, so excited that I couldn't speak for a long time.

You need not worry about this; since I have brought you here, I certainly have my own way. Simon revealed a smug smile.

Lan Chujie’s words sounded exceedingly ambiguous, as if there were some relationship between Simon and me. I quickly waved my hand and briefly explained the situation of Simon staying at my house after falling into the water.

Simon spoke word by word, each word striking my heart like a hammer. Remembering the scene from last night when he went to great lengths to take me to the amusement park, I felt this was simply the most ironic thing in the world

"Haha, how is that possible?" I said with a dry laugh

"That's enough, you don't need to explain any further, the credibility is not high at all. In fact... if Simon is bullying you, just let me know, I can help you"

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Simon sighed and continued on his own: "I needed to pass through a special transmission channel to reach Planet M6. Unexpectedly, I encountered a solar eclipse along the way, which caused an accident and I fell into the sea. I have to wait for the transmission channel to self-repair before I can return. I never expected..."

Ah? Why are you suddenly asking me this?

The orange-red sunset light fell into Simon's eyes, and his pupils gradually transformed into a fiery color

Simon did not respond to my words, but was helping to organize things nearby. Suddenly, his movements came to a halt.

I said what I said! Dodging Simon's hand, I felt a mix of embarrassment and anger

Do not blush, do not blush...! ... Ah! Do not say things that make it feel like "you are worried about your girlfriend"!

Alright, my mood has improved a lot, so please stop joking. I will just send them a text message or make a phone call later

At this hour, if we go to the city center and come back, we probably won't even find any buses left. Are we supposed to ride bicycles? But regardless, I still really want to go out with Simon, so while expressing my doubts, I nodded my head.

Rest assured, I am not someone who repays kindness with ingratitude. You and grandmother have taken care of me for so long, I will not turn you into puppets. You can continue to live well as the citizens of the Demon Realm

"Do not be afraid," Simon said, reassuringly grasping my hand, "There is no one inside; it is all under my magical control"

Your concern for me has already touched me deeply, so how could I possibly allow you to share in my unhappiness

It has been stated that it is none of your business

A variety of dolls surrounded Simon and me as we walked towards the amusement park, and a lovely gorilla unexpectedly hung directly on me. Today, I also saw a frog walking on two legs for the first time, which was simply hilarious! Looking at the lively and adorable dolls around me, I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland.

Having tidied up the shop and informed my grandmother, Simon rode his bicycle, taking me towards the city center

"By the way! Why are you here?" Lan Chujie suddenly asked, his gaze towards Simon filled with anger, and then he turned his attention to me.

The man was also startled upon seeing the scene before him, his eyes widening in shock, and he trembled like a leaf falling in the autumn wind, before suddenly collapsing to the ground with a thud

Yue Yinyin, you are truly beyond saving

Yue Yinyin! You must persevere! Aren't you still angry? How can you yield so quickly!

Thank you. Before returning to the room, I said to Simon, holding the doll I brought back from the amusement park, which serves as a souvenir for tonight. But rest assured, I did pay for it and the picture book.

I feel extremely guilty under Simon's gaze; clearly, he is the one who has done wrong, yet I do not dare to question him loudly. Even at this moment, I still find myself considering Simon's feelings.

Red, a flame-like red, dazzling and brilliant, resplendent and deadly

I like it! Without any hesitation, I readily agreed and casually hugged the nearest teddy bear to me

"Simon, what is wrong with you today?" I couldn't help but ask

Can you not be so childish? Stop arguing! What if the children get hurt...

"Do not change the subject!" Lan Chujie made an effort to appear serious, "Yue Yinyin, do not keep your troubles to yourself; I can be your listener."

He will forget all of this. After finishing everything, Simon let out a sigh.

The man standing outside the door, probably in his thirties, had a face full of stubble. His loose-fitting clothes enveloped his slender frame, creating a strikingly uncoordinated appearance, especially when compared to Simon, making him look almost like a child

Great, I finally found it... Finally, Simon's deep voice sounded, his words felt as if they were directly striking my heart, and the uneasy feeling from last night surged up again

"I am not joking, I truly want to take you away." Lan Chujie emphasized once again. Although he spoke very seriously, the expression on his face, when compared to the content of his words, made it even more amusing.

Oh no! I stopped in my tracks and shouted anxiously, while Simon looked back at me with a puzzled expression

"It doesn't hurt anymore, I was just kidding!" Seeing Simon's genuine expression of apology, I no longer felt like teasing him.

To be honest, after spending so much time with Simon, my initial thoughts have long since changed, and I am unwilling to say such hurtful words. It is just that Simon originally intended to leave, and moreover, in comparison, his reaction when he previously obtained the "Heart of Flame" was even more disheartening

It was you who said you would treat us, how could I possibly disappoint your goodwill

Ah! That's right! Simon! If you fight here, Grandma will see you

Are you tired? Simon handed me a glass of juice

"It's all right, you must be more tired than I am. You are the one lifting all the heavy things. What will we do in the future if you're not here?" I said jokingly, and after finishing the juice, I lowered my head to tidy up and prepare to close the shop.

When Simon saw me coming down, he first scrutinized me before shifting his attention to the people outside the house. Noticing Simon's gaze, I also looked down at myself.

With a heart full of contradictions, I have not spoken to Simon for several days, and I have consciously avoided him. For instance, I leave early and return late, simply to avoid having meals with him. Additionally, during holidays, I also go to the school's art club to help Shishi and Kexin.

"You little brat, how dare you complain to me!" Simon pretended to be angry, patted my head, and then took my hand to walk forward, "Let's go ride the Ferris wheel! I've never been on one before."

"Simon?" I called tentatively

I am just joking, how could I possibly really call Simon here? I haven't even figured out how to face him yet

What about the others? I interrupted him, trying to keep myself calm

Recalling the scene of my first encounter with Simon, it can be said that we were "strangers until we fought," yet upon reflection, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yue Yinyin, why are you avoiding me?" Simon asked

Upon Simon's remark, I looked at the bouncing "dummy" and felt even more terrified

Very well! You are right not to think this way!" Before I could finish my words, Lan Chujie suddenly interrupted with a smile.

To be honest, ever since my parents passed away, I have not come to the amusement park again. I truly did not expect Simon to bring me here

I must do this

It is not a matter of whether it is easy or difficult, but rather that I am very skilled at it

Recently, the student council has been quite busy

Taking a deep breath, I strive to control my emotions that fluctuate excessively

I am going inside; if you wish to stay here, then continue. Breaking free from Simon's hand, I only thought about leaving quickly, not wanting to recall my own foolishness and absurdity

The teddy bear is the same size as me, and after I hugged it, it also hugged me back. It is truly adorable

Lan Chujie furrowed his brow, stared at me for a while, and then asked: "Did you have a quarrel with Simon, or did that guy bully you?"

This is not right, this is the seaside, there are no flowers or grass here

This is it, I discovered it by accident while surfing with friends at the beach

Just as we reached the door, Lan Chujie seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to me, saying: "Should I inform your friends? Or perhaps leave a note, so they won't think you've been abducted."

Arrived. With a "creak" of the wheels, Simon stopped the bicycle

Moon Yinyin. Simon was completely unconcerned about his own hands, but stared at me and asked, "Why do I feel so distressed when I see you sad? Why do I feel suffocated when you ignore me? Why do I feel a subtle sense of joy when I know that the 'Heart of Flame' is fake?"

"Simon, you have probably been away from the Demon Realm for too long and have forgotten the taste of pain," Lan Chujie provocatively initiated.

Ah! It hurts! I reached out to rub the spot where Simon had hit me, exclaiming.

You must be thanking me for helping you find the 'Heart of Flame'. I rarely see you being so kind; how come you are inviting me to play?

Simon stared at me for a while, then sighed and said, "Yue Yinyin, I realize that I really have grown somewhat attached to you, you fool."

Nodding slightly, I allowed Simon to hold my hand when suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind

Finished, this guy, first gives a slap, then a piece of candy, simply too wicked! Shamefully, I actually fell for his tricks!

"Fortunately, I didn't come down in my pajamas." Just as I was wondering if there was something wrong with my appearance, I heard Simon say softly.

I was so foolish! ... I shouldn't have let him stay in the first place, shouldn't have thought he was a good person, shouldn't have sympathized with him, and definitely shouldn't have liked him...! ... What I shouldn't have done the most was to even think that he might have liked me a little bit! Yuanyin, you are truly an irredeemable fool!

You can scold me, hit me. Simon continued.

Yue Yin Yin, your life deserves to have more beautiful things.

"Amusement park?" I asked uncertainly.

Do you ... ... not hate me?

Seeing my reaction as if I had heard a joke, Lan Chujie ultimately chose not to explain further

"I am sorry, I deceived you," Simon said to me, his red eyes burning like flames, causing a sharp pain in my heart. I kept telling myself, "Do not ask, do not ask," yet I could not help but speak: "Why..."

Lan Chujie, upon seeing this, also suppressed his anger and treated Simon as if he were air

"Simon, you seem quite strange today." During lunch, I walked up behind Simon, patted him on the shoulder, and to my surprise, I ended up scaring him.

I jumped off the bicycle and followed Simon's gaze.

I've been here recently, how about you? Long time no see, what have you been up to?

I originally intended to get to the bottom of things, but Simon took the initiative to help Grandma serve the dishes at the table. Unable to find a suitable opportunity, I had no choice but to temporarily give up.

The next day, I was awakened by the doorbell. In a daze, I suddenly realized that it might be the person coming to deliver the "Flame of the Heart". I immediately woke up and changed my clothes, rushing downstairs, only to see Simon, who had already opened the door.

I knew it was you who bullied Yin Yin. She's so unhappy because of you. And you have the audacity to still live in her house?

I flow with the blood of the demon race; to prove my strength, I have chosen to conquer Planet M6. This is the sole purpose of my arrival here

What happened to Simon today? Although our relationship is no longer as tumultuous as it was at the beginning, he has been unusually quiet today. Even when I deliberately tried to provoke him, he merely smiled and let it go.

Yue Yin Yin, I'm not strange, I'm just serious about my work. Soon, Simon smiled and tapped my forehead, but that smile seemed forced no matter how you looked at it.

As on the previous few days, after school today, I planned to stay in the art club for a while, while Shishi and Kexin went to the convenience store to buy some things

Simon stared at me and said, "You can tell me whatever you want, even if it's asking me to give up the idea of conquering the M6 planet, as long as you don't get angry again."

"Knock, knock, knock," just before going to bed, my door was suddenly knocked on. I could roughly guess who was outside, and after hesitating for a long time, I finally opened the door

You're still laughing! Hurry up and restore them to their original state, let's escape back home!

"Did you all come back together?" Simon spoke, his voice cold enough to freeze someone to death.

Stay calm, Yueyin! Stay calm!

Relax? Does he want to invite me to do a spa? Or a foot massage? However, is Simon expressing his gratitude to me? Oh, what a awkward guy, does expressing gratitude require such tact?

In stark contrast to my nervousness, Simon completely ignored me, only stopping once he had laughed enough

I looked at Simon in confusion, wanting to hear his explanation, but he turned and left without giving me a chance to ask him anything

The night breeze feels particularly pleasant against my face as I sit in the back of the car, my arm wrapped around Simon's waist, softly humming a nursery rhyme

At midnight, Simon and I finally sneaked back home, and by that time, Grandma had already gone to sleep

Hate? I can't even manage to dislike you, so how could I hate! I am trying my best to remain calm and say: "I have class tomorrow, so if there's nothing else, I will go to sleep now." After saying this, I prepare to close the door

Upon hearing my words, Simon burst into laughter

The amusement park is closed, what did you bring me here for

Oh right, how could I forget that Simon is not human? A single spell can resolve everything; there is no need to bribe anyone!

You should rest a bit earlier. After a while, Simon spoke up

Is that so? It is indeed a cause for celebration, but unfortunately, I cannot forget.

Not this! This one! This one!

The Heart of Flame... you have finally returned to my hands, and I no longer have to hide from the enforcers

We need to clarify a few things. Simon stepped aside to let the man into the house, and then took the box.

Great! Simon has finally found the relics left to him by his mother

I truly did not mean to do it

"Yes, whatever you say is what it is!" Simon replied affirmatively once again

This time, Simon finally looked up at me, but his eyes had turned the same color as the "Heart of Flame"

Simon looked at me, his gaze so profound that it seemed to draw me in, causing my heart to race uncontrollably

Just arrived home, I saw Simon leaning against the door. Even without getting close, I could feel his irritable mood from far away.

How is it? If you are satisfied, please pay me my reward! Seeing Simon and me staring intently at the "Heart of Flame," the man finally spoke.

No problem, no problem, feel free to take a look. It's exactly the same as the blueprint. The man nodded quickly.

I am telling you that you are very important to me," Simon explained again.

He is helping out at the store!" I replied with a smile.

Just like in the morning, Simon once again teased me and said "It's okay".

How can I be friends with such a dangerous guy? No way! I disagree! Simon was shocked, with a very exaggerated expression.

Cough, that was an accident, you held me tightly, and I accelerated

You're just staying at my house, but you're being too intrusive! I immediately retorted upon hearing this, and unintentionally answered Lan Chujie's previous question. As a result, the tension in the air became even more palpable.

Yue Yinyin, please calm down and speak slowly. I cannot understand you at all like this

I admit that the matter of the 'Heart of Flame' was my fault, and I should not have deceived you

There is nothing that is absolutely necessary in this world! As long as you are willing, Simon...

Alright! If we are going to study, Simon must be very bored at home by himself. Next time, you should bring him along to study.

I do not know why, but upon hearing Lan Chujie's words, my first reaction was actually to worry about Simon. If Lan Chujie were to discover Simon's intentions, he would certainly seek trouble with him, after all, Lan Chujie is also considered a resident of Planet M6. Whether you call me selfish or foolish, I simply do not want Simon to get hurt. I now truly resemble the historical foolish monarch who "loved beauty more than the kingdom," or the fool in a television drama who "deserved to be deceived"

Yue Yinyin, it is time for you to awaken

I only want to protect you, and this is my own decision, so you need not feel embarrassed. Lan Chujie said word by word, his gaze very firm

Simon pulled me to stand in front of the amusement facility, drew a strange shape in the air with one hand, and then began to chant. As the last complex syllable fell, a dazzling light suddenly erupted in the amusement park. I instinctively raised my hand to shield my eyes, but before I could adjust to this sudden brightness, I heard a series of wonderful melodies by my ear. Lowering my hand, a dreamlike scene appeared before my eyes

No need to worry, such simple three characters, haha

Will you make him feel bad by bullying him

You need not worry, this is not an aggressive magic. Alright, let's go ride the Ferris wheel!

Regarding my acquaintance with Simon and the fact that he is currently staying at my home, I once mentioned this to Shishi and Kexin. Their reaction at the time was unanimous: "We must go to the beach more often in the future; who knows, we might pick up a handsome guy to take home."

I mumbled softly, I can't beat you again... yet my heart was in turmoil due to Simon's apology

Ah! Someone! Just as I was immersed in the scenery before me, figures dressed in various doll costumes danced and ran towards me, and I was so frightened that I immediately grabbed Simon's arm

"Yue Yinyin." Simon said, while moving his hand to the side of my face. The burning warmth immediately dissipated the suppressed dissatisfaction in my heart. "Tell me, why?"

"Do you not have anything to say to me?" I quickly pressed on.

Indeed, Lan Chujie will surely think that my previous bad mood was due to being bullied by Simon. Although my bad mood was indeed caused by him, it was also because of the significant issue of the "survival of Planet M6"

"Yue Yinyin, you are my friend. You can come to me for anything. I do not wish to see you looking sad." Lan Chujie gently ruffled my hair

"Strange, Yinyin, have you been very free lately?" Shishi asked me while drawing the poster.

"False," Simon said, his voice carrying a subtle hint of ease.

Is that so? Then that's good

It's alright, it's not a big issue. The suggestions for the layout modifications of the next issue of the school newspaper are detailed in the document. Compared to this, I think your problem is more significant. You don't seem quite right, what's wrong? Did you experience a breakup?" Lan Chujie asked as he placed the folder on the table.

"It's a secret; you'll know when the time comes." Simon was being coy and had no intention of telling me directly

Alas! How could I have forgotten about this matter! I have not mentioned to Lan Chujie that Simon is staying at my home! However, even if he finds out, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Ahem! Even without the children, there are still flowers and plants...

"Wow, your face is so red!" I looked up, intending to give Lan Chujie a smile, but I found his face flushed with a deep crimson. Could it be that he is shy?

I don't know! I pushed Simon away and slammed the door shut. At the moment the door was closed, the temperature on my face instantly reached its peak

What happened to these things? Do you want to take them along on the Ferris wheel?

No, but ... ...

"It is good, but isn't Simon coming to pick you up? Ke Xin and I haven't seen him for a long time," Shi Shi asked with a look of admiration.

"Does it hurt?" Seeing my reaction, Simon hurriedly asked, his face filled with guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I..."

Not noticing the subtle gestures between Simon and me, the man glanced around the room while nodding, and then handed us the box in his hand

Lan Chujie was not threatened at all, and clearly said again: "I just call her Yinyin, what can you do to me? Simon, others may fear you, but I do not!"

Let it be a secret! I shrugged indifferently

Having parked the bicycle, Simon waved his hand and said, "Yue Yinyin, tonight this place will become your exclusive paradise"

Damn it! Why do you have to say such things to me? What am I supposed to do now? Simon will definitely continue searching for the "Heart of Flame". Although he has shown a slight reluctance to use the "Heart of Flame", I cannot guarantee that if he really finds it, he will choose to give it up.

"Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?" Lan Chujie looked at me with wide eyes

"Because you come to help us every day, isn't your own shop at home busier?" Kexin explained

"Who said I am in a bad mood! Which of your eyes saw that!"

"Well, let's talk about it next time," I replied casually, continuing to help organize the studio, not taking this verbal promise to heart.

There are no children; apart from the three of us, there is no one else.

"What are you laughing at?" Simon asked in confusion upon hearing my laughter

Recently, you have been helping me find things and taking care of the store, you must be exhausted. Shall I take you to relax a bit

Is that so? You've been staring at me for so long just to say this? I was already prepared to accept a confession! ... Ahem ... I seem to be a bit too direct like this

I stood there in a daze, as if all the strength in my body had been drained, unable to move

I have no ... ...

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the obscure incantations by my ear have finally ceased, and immediately afterward, the red light returned to Simon's body once again

"Where she goes, who she is with, is none of your business." Without waiting for my response, Lan Chujie parked the bicycle and stood protectively in front of me, resembling a guardian.

Is that what you want him to stay for

After leaving school, Lan Chujie kindly helped me buy two vanilla-flavored ice creams and also pushed my bicycle for me. We chatted and laughed all the way home while enjoying our ice creams, discussing the latest books and some interesting topics. The relaxed atmosphere lifted my spirits, but unfortunately, this good mood did not last long

No wonder ... no wonder Simon asked me to apologize yesterday, no wonder he acted so strangely, it turns out everything was just a "recompense," because my grandmother and I took him in for so long, because I helped him find the "Heart of Flame"

Ding dong, ding dong

What do you mean by telling me this

Simon and Lan Chujie glared at each other, and I couldn't help but recall the scene of their last altercation in the student council office

Upon hearing my rather shameless response, Lan Chujie merely smiled without speaking, the light flickering in her eyes resembling a beautiful starry sky. Clearly, such a scene is the most gentle and captivating... yet I cannot help but think of Simon's fiery gaze.

In fact, these are just very ordinary amusement facilities, but at this moment, I find them particularly appealing

The drowning incident struck a painful chord in Simon's heart, and he directly used "violence" to stop me from continuing, accelerating the pedaling. I had no choice but to hold on tightly to him, but compared to the last time, I felt much more at ease this time

Isn't it a bad thing? I think your ambition to "conquer planet M6" is rather dangerous, isn't it? Listening to Simon slander Lan Chujie, I thought to myself, but I explained, "Lan Chujie is my good friend"

These, do all of these require magic?

Strange, Simon is truly peculiar today, and I don't know why, but I constantly feel a sense of unease

"By the seaside? Which seaside?" I asked in confusion

Where have you been? Simon asked again, his tone quite impolite

Well! We all need to be happy! At worst, I will just accommodate you more in the future! I smiled broadly.

A series of "why" questions from Simon left me utterly bewildered, and my heart began to race uncontrollably once again

Simon's tone was exceedingly domineering, indeed possessing a certain demeanor reminiscent of a dark lord, but...

Simon turned a deaf ear to my question, holding the box that previously contained the "Heart of Flame" in one hand while slowly taking out the "Heart of Flame" with the other, his expression appearing somewhat strange

I do not know whether Simon's words refer to a bicycle, or ... ...

Hmm. Simon nodded and said, "Tonight, this place belongs to you."

I went to make breakfast. Simon wanted to say something else, but I turned and walked into the kitchen

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded at the door: "Yue Yinyin? What are you doing here?"

Hearing the sound, I looked up and saw Lan Chujie standing at the door with a folder in hand

"Good! I would like the vanilla flavor." After a pause, I extended two fingers, "Two sticks."

Simon returned to his ordinary human form, causing the fainted man to awaken, then erased the man's memory and allowed him to leave on his own

Simon, you are almost becoming a poet. Are you here to help me relax, or to gaze at the stars and the moon, discussing poetry and philosophy of life?

I have always known that Lan Chujie is a gentle person at heart, but when he truly expressed this concern for me, I was still very touched

I was so frightened that I opened the door again and shouted, "Are you crazy? What if I accidentally crush your hand!"

At this point, unable to endure the scrutiny of two "unfriendly" gazes any longer, I decided to step out from under the protection of Lan Chujie.

You can invite him to play together next time

Lying in the box, the "Heart of Flame" has a shape similar to that of a "Heart," with a crystal-like texture that appears exceptionally transparent. This further accentuates the brilliance of the internal "Flame," which is as dazzling as the color of Simon's eyes after his transformation.

I never expected that I, this fool, would rescue you, let you stay in my home, and be deceived by you to the point of confusion, even foolishly helping you look for things

The last day of the holiday has come to an end. My grandmother noticed that Simon and I had a disagreement, but I was unwilling to explain the reason. Simon simply stated that he had upset me, and she had no choice but to let us handle it ourselves

Although it is not the first time I have seen his transformed appearance, it is the first time I have been so intimidated by the aura he exudes that I stuttered

Simon turned his head away from me, raising the "Heart of Flame" to his chest, and began to chant softly. The red light slowly spread outward from him, glaring like the brilliance that had blossomed in the darkness last night. Unfortunately, while last night had been a surprise, this moment was filled with sorrow

His method? Could it be that Simon saved up a sum of money through frugality, or won the lottery, bribed the amusement park staff, to give me a romantic surprise

Is this important? My gaze wanders around

Pain? Is that all you can do? You, the younger generation of the Mosider family!" Simon immediately retorted without any courtesy

Things seem to be developing in a direction that I am very reluctant to see. Last time, I was unable to stop it in time, and as a result, I almost lost my life! I am not sure if it will be effective this time; if it is not, what will happen if our house gets damaged? No, I must stop it as soon as possible!

Moon Sound Sound

"Yue Yinyin." Simon swiftly reached out and wedged his hand in the door frame

Do you enjoy adventure? I glanced at the man's paper-thin physique, then looked at Simon, and did not continue the conversation

It is nothing, I just recalled the incident where someone referred to themselves as the Demon King, yet accidentally drowned.

Simon grabbed me again, just like the first time we met, he repeatedly and stubbornly tugged at my clothes

Lan Chujie took the initiative to help me pick up the backpack and was the first to walk outside. After I put away the sketchbook, I hurriedly followed suit.

"Did he give you this?" Simon glanced at the bicycle again, "Using this?"

Protect me? It should just be a friendly kind of protection, right? ... Looking into Lan Chujie's eyes, I felt somewhat uncertain, after all, I had once accidentally stripped him of his ...? ... Ahem, the notion of love arising from hatred probably wouldn't happen to me so fortuitously, would it? However, thanks to Lan Chujie's comfort, I felt much happier.
