This feeling was different from the past when she itched with hatred.
Now Qiao Siying finds this figure so reliable and makes her feel secure.
Seeing the tears on her face as she stared at him looking so frightened, Lin Yuan’s expression did not even fluctuate.
Lin Yuan asked faintly, “Is everything okay?”
Qiao Siying did not answer.
Instead, she just opened the door.
Not even waiting for Lin Yuan to completely enter the driver’s seat, Qiao Siying threw herself into Lin Yuan’s arms.
Then her tears burst out.
Looking at the crying Qiao Siying, Lin Yuan who always speaks with a poisonous tongue could only gently pat her back.
But he didn’t have any expressions on his face whatsoever.
That is because in his opinion, what happened was just a small incident.
In other words, it is nothing.
But Lin Yuan also knew that it was not a small incident for Qiao Siying.
People have different views and endurance on certain things.
Lin Yuan just continued to comfort Qiao Siying by patting her back.
It is better than comforting through words.
And Qiao Siying who felt horrified earlier now feels a sense of peace and security.
It’s the same feeling as being in the arms of her father when she was very young.
She felt that her fear dissipated quickly.
While hearing Lin Yuan’s heartbeat, Qiao Siying’s also gradually accelerated.
At the same time, a strong weird feeling rose from her heart.
Qiao Siying didn’t know that this strange feeling is affection.
But Qiao Siying is slowly recognizing it.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Her affection towards Lin Yuan kept on growing.
She finds Lin Yuan to be much more formidable than she thought, and that she had been the one ignorant all this time.
When Qiao Siying’s perception of Lin Yuan changed, there were also a series of prompts in Lin Yuan’s mind.
【Ding! Qiao Siying’s favorability +2! Reward: 300 counterattack points! 】
【Ding! Qiao Siying’s favorability +4! Reward: 600 counterattack points! 】
【Ding! Qiao Siying’s favorability +2! … 】
【Ding!… 】
The continuous system prompts sounded.
Lin Yuan saw how Qiao Siying’s favorability on the panel was increasing rapidly.
Sure enough, the ‘heroic rescue of a damsel in distress’ routine is still quite effective.
【Ding! Qiao Siying’s favorability reached 85! Successfully plundered Ye Feng’s 20 points fate value! 】
Lin Yuan was quite surprised to see that Qiao Siying’s favorability reached as high as 85.
And this also plundered 20 points of Ye Feng’s fate.
Lin Yuan had already expected that Qiao Siying’s favorability will rise but even so, he did not expect it to increase this much.
In fact, Qiao Siying’s favorability has improved so much because of many factors and not just because of ‘heroic rescue of a damsel in distress’ routine.
Her values were crushed.
Her firm values and beliefs conflicted with Lin Yuan’s.
But these were all crushed to pieces by these villagers.
And when Lin Yuan comes out when she is most desperate her favorability skyrocketed.
Qiao Siying cried for some time and when she finally stopped, she discovered that Lin Yuan’s chest was all wet.
She blushed immediately.
She also felt a little embarrassed.
While listening to Lin Yuan’s heartbeat, hers also accelerated rapidly.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})She felt that she should get up from Lin Yuan’s arms now.
She is not a child after all.
But being able to weep in front of Lin Yuan is very comforting.
She wanted to depend more on him, so she was a bit reluctant to get up.
She sort of likes this close contact with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan hasn’t told her to let go so she was very unwilling to do so.
Qiao Siying didn’t realize that her liking for Lin Yuan has become stronger.
But although very reluctant, she is more afraid that Lin Yuan might get annoyed with her, so Qiao Siying moved her head away.
After moving away from Lin Yuan’s arms, Qiao Siying stepped back slightly.
And then, she raised her head.
But when she raised her head, her eyes met his.
Looking closely at Lin Yuan’s dark eyes, Qiao Siying’s heart skipped a beat.
Her pupils shrank slightly.
She felt like she had been electrified.
At this moment, Lin Yuan’s face remained calm, not any different from his usual expression.
But after having cried and been comforted by Lin Yuan, Qiao Siying felt affection towards him.
Although Lin Yuan had his usual calm expression, Qiao Siying felt that he is looking at her with a gentle smile.
This made her heartbeat fast and her breathing becomes stagnated.
So Qiao Siying quickly looked away.
She couldn’t stand to look at him anymore.
”I… I am sorry… I got your clothes wet…”
Qiao Siying lowered her head.
She grasped and squeezed the corners of her clothes as her heart stirred some inexplicable emotion and tension.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Hearing Qiao Siying taking the initiative to apologize, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Lin Yuan did not reply with any poisonous words and just replied casually: “It’s okay.”
Qiao Siying has really cried a river.
But it is really not a big deal for Lin Yuan.
He still has a few sets of clothes in the car anyway.
Although it was certainly not prepared for this.
It was prepared for any sudden intense and passionate events.
Hearing what Lin Yuan said, Qiao Siying breathed a sigh of relief.
She then said: “I… I was wrong before. I am sorry. You were right all along that not all poor people are good.”
”Both the rich and the poor can either be good or otherwise. I’m sorry. I had it all wrong before.”
Qiao Siying who was always arguing with Lin Yuan now bowed her head and admitted to her mistakes.
”It’s okay, but this is a lesson for you. You can pay tuition fees, but I don’t need any money. Just be a maid for a few more days and then I’ll be good.” Lin Yuan quipped.
Lin Yuan was only joking but Qiao Siying did not disagree with it.
She even seemed to really be considering the same.
Qiao Siying, who lowered her head, was thinking something.
But it wasn’t about being a maid.
Qiao Siying suddenly raised her head and asked Lin Yuan, “Can we… can we be… can we be friends?”
Qiao Siying’s cheeks were slightly red and asked Lin Yuan suddenly.
In fact, Qiao Siying and Lin Yuan have been in contact with each other a lot, but they always had a very normal relationship.
Putting aside the palpitation in her heart.
Being an official friend is not something to be nervous about.
But she wanted to be friends with Lin Yuan, otherwise, she will not have any excuse to continue to approach him in the future.
She also wants to get closer to him.
And so, Qiao Siying formally asked to be friends with Lin Yuan.
She asked while stretching out her hand.
