The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 144
Mo Ran took out a piece of paper from the bowl and spread it open.
When he saw the content on the paper, he first heaved a sigh of relief, then became a little nervous.
“What is this?” asked the village chief.
Mo Ran showed him the paper. The village chief looked and said, “Haha, luckily there are no senior or junior sisters from the same sect as Mo Xian Jun, or else we would have offended them.”
Chu Wanning was originally very curious about what question Mo Ran had found. When he heard the village chief’s words, he became even more curious. He stared at the paper as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.
Mo Ran smiled and said, “But village chief, look at what’s written on this paper. It should be against the rules. Others asked one question, but he asked me three questions.”
“Who asked Immortal Jun to pick this one?” said the village chief. “If Immortal Jun is not satisfied, then throw it away and pick a new one.”
If he picked a new one, he might get something like “Women with long legs are prettier or women with thin waists are prettier”. Mo Ran smiled and said, “Forget it, I’ll pick this one.”
As he spoke, he passed the paper back to the village chief and said, “I picked three people I like the most in my life.”
Chu Wanning was speechless.
At this time, Ling ‘er came back with red eyes. She did not move forward, afraid that others would see that she had just cried. She sat at the outermost edge of the fire pit, so Mo Ran did not see her.
In fact, after Mo Ran finished his question, he did not look at anyone. He felt that such a question was too personal, and anyone would feel awkward looking at it. No one would be able to say anything, so he just stared at the fire.
The bonfire flickered in his black eyes, illuminating his handsome face. He stared at the flame, lost in thought for a long time. Then he said,
“Then let’s talk about my mother first.”
“My mother passed away relatively early. Actually, I don’t really remember what she looked like. I only remember that when she was around, I could always eat and sleep well,” Mo Ran said. “So if we were to talk about three people, she would be one of them.”
Village Chief nodded. “Good, I’ll count one for you, Immortal Monarch.”
“The second one is my Elder Brother. He treats me warmly, and even though we aren’t related by blood, he treats me better than any of my brothers.”
Regarding this answer, Chu Wanning had long expected it, so whether it was on his face or in his heart, there was not much of a ripple. It was obvious that Mo Ran liked Shi Mingjing. When he was at the Jin Chengchi, he had heard it with his own ears, so he wasn’t surprised.
She looked at the man under the illumination of the night fire. He had a hard outline that looked like it had been carved by a knife and an axe. He looked extremely handsome, but there was some stubbornness in his bones. To a large extent, a person’s spirit could be reflected in their eyes. Mo Ran’s eyes were black, bright, and extremely spirited, like a lamp that would never be extinguished unless it ran out of oil.
A person with such a pair of eyes was destined to be extremely stubborn.
Chu Wanning was obsessed with such stubbornness, but unfortunately, this stubbornness didn’t belong to him.
Mo Ran said that Shi Mingjing was so good, but Chu Wanning didn’t listen. He felt that the wind at night was a little cold, so he poured himself a cup of hot tea, held it in his hand, and slowly drank.
The tea warmed his throat and fell to his stomach, warming his flesh and blood, and even his heart softened.
He silently poured himself another cup. Just as he was about to drink again, he suddenly heard Mo Ran finish talking about Shi Mingjing. Mo Ran paused and said,
“There’s one more person, and the third person I want to talk about is my Master.”
“Cough cough cough!!” Chu Wanning seemed to have been scalded. He choked on the tea and coughed repeatedly. His face was flushed red. He buried his head in wiping the water stains, but he didn’t raise his head to look at Mo Ran.
For a person who was used to being lowly emotionally, if you pulled him up from the ground, he would only panic because he was covered in dust. He would want to hide in the dark again, curl up, and hide.
But Mo Ran clearly didn’t intend to give him a chance to escape.
Chu Wanning was too stuffy. If he was allowed to do as he pleased, he would always show you his back, the back of his head. He seemed to be blazing, fierce, with purple lightning and green frost between his eyebrows, faintly showing a thunderous intent to attack. But Mo Ran knew that this was nothing more than an exquisitely polished human skin mask.
He had seen Chu Wanning’s gentle human soul, so pitiful and helpless in the steam rising from the Meng Po Lobby.
He didn’t want Chu Wanning to ruin himself like this anymore.
Chu Wanning couldn’t wear such a sinister and terrifying mask anymore. If this guy with low self-esteem wasn’t willing to take it off, then he would reach out for him.
The tea had only spilled a little, and he had already wiped it clean. But Chu Wanning still kept wiping the dried water stains.
He was used to being trapped in a cocoon of his own making, so he didn’t raise his head.
Gradually, he felt that the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that it was a little strange. Then, he heard a child giggle. The voice was very low, but anyone could hear it.
“Ma ‘am, Chu Xianjun is so silly.”
Ma ‘am hurriedly covered her child’s mouth. “Shhh — —”
But Chu Wanning still heard it.
Silly … …
No, Wanye Yuheng would never be called “silly” in his life. He was arrogant and sharp, fierce and cold, and — —
“Shizun, if you keep wiping, I’m afraid you’re going to make a hole in the table.”
The black cloth boots walked in front of his table. They were very close, so close that it could be considered offensive. Then, they stopped. Chu Wanning saw a pitch-black shadow cover him like a mountain pressing down on him. The pressure was so heavy that he couldn’t breathe. The pressure made him feel a little humiliated, and also a little angry.
He suddenly felt a little resentful, angry at his sudden weakness.
Thus, he threw the handkerchief aside and abruptly raised his head. His eyes were filled with provocation as he glared at Mo Ran with unbridled anger. It was as if he was about to draw his sword.
Almost at the same time, Mo Ran said respectfully and gently, “I’m sorry, Master.
“Shizun, pay attention to me.”
This sentence was like a curse, growing and growing together with Chu Wanning’s reaction. Only Chu Wanning knew that he didn’t raise his head because Mo Ran said “pay attention to me.” This was just a coincidence.
But what was the use of this?
Besides him, whether it was Mo Ran or the people around, they all felt that Chu Wanning quickly agreed to his disciple because of this request.
Quickly.
There was nothing more humiliating than these two words. They felt that they had lost all their face.
Chu Wanning’s face was as cold as ice, but his eyes were burning with fire.
But what met his eyes was only Mo Ran’s gentle and warm gaze. Like endless spring water, it easily wrapped up his anger and his sharp mouth.
Mo Ran said: “Shizun, the third answer is you.”
Chu Wanning had nowhere to vent his anger, so he became expressionless: “… Yes.”
He was really calm and indifferent.
He was very calm and had a bearing. He was really worthy of being Grandmaster Chu who didn’t care about worldly affairs. Chu Wanning secretly cheered for himself.
But Mo Ran looked at him amusedly.
Grandmaster Mo thought that this Grandmaster Chu couldn’t be a little fool, right?
Chu Wanning didn’t know that in his disciple’s heart, he had already pasted the label of a little fool. Because he was nervous, he became more and more cold and arrogant.
He said: “So? What do you want to do here? ”
This question hit the nail on the head. The smile on Mo Ran’s face froze for a moment.
Mo Ran wanted to do everything.
But he couldn’t do anything.
So what if he liked Chu Wanning? He found out too late. This person was too far away to be chased. Moreover, he had already spent two lifetimes chasing after Shi Mei’s footsteps. Suddenly, he was told that he loved the wrong person and wanted him to turn back. In fact, his own heart couldn’t accept it so easily.
If he had understood his own feelings at the beginning of his rebirth, perhaps everything could still be in time.
Until now, this “discovery” was actually just increasing his suffering.
In his previous life, Chu Wanning had suffered too much physical torture. He was used to seeing the joy of the bed as the cruelest torture for this proud and unyielding man.
Therefore, in Mo Ran’s heart, Chu Wanning had always been the image of an immortal. He didn’t eat the food of mortals, and he wouldn’t have any feelings of love or lust.
If he wanted to destroy Chu Wanning, he had thousands of intimate methods.
But, he had to be good to Chu Wanning.
He couldn’t think of much.
Suddenly, he became very stupid. He only knew that he should keep a distance from Shizun. He should put Shizun on the altar and kneel down to welcome him.
This word of “like” actually contained a burning and secret love.
But Mo Ran couldn’t let Chu Wanning feel it. He could only control himself and use the “relationship between master and disciple” to carefully disguise this love. Then, he respectfully presented it to Chu Wanning.
Mo Ran then replied, “I just want to let Shizun know.”
“… …” Chu Wanning looked at him quietly.
Mo Ran said, “It’s just that, I can’t help but want to let everyone know … …”
“Know what?”
Mo Ran smiled. His black eyes were very bright, and the flames were very scorching. It could cover up the desire that was surging in the undercurrent.
“Know that my luck is good.” He said with a smile, “I have the best, best, best Shizun in the world.”
He used three “best” words. They were very clumsy and very forceful.
It was quite like Mo Ran’s simple and crude style.
Chu Wanning looked at him with an unfathomable gaze. Only his eyelashes moved.
Mo Ran took a deep breath. He didn’t know where his courage came from. He only felt that if he missed this chance, he would not have another chance to express himself so freely in this life.
He suddenly half-knelt, wanting to be level with Chu Wanning who was sitting in front of the table. Unfortunately, his figure was still too tall. Kneeling like this, he still looked down at Shizun.
He couldn’t care so much. He felt that his heart was beating so fast, and his blood was flowing so fast.
“Shizun.”
“… …” Chu Wanning suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This man’s eyes were too anxious. He couldn’t help but lean back a little.
But in the end, the arrow still pierced his heart.
“I like you.”
He had no way to escape. The deer leaping in the forest had its leg pierced by the hunter’s arrow. Then, it fell to the ground. Chu Wanning stared at him in a daze. There was a boom in his head. He couldn’t hear anything else, and couldn’t see anything … …
‘Like’ – this word was very implicit and vague.
It wasn’t as straightforward as’ love ‘. Once it was said, it could burn someone’s heart. It had many ways to understand it. It gave many opportunities to infatuated men and resentful women. They could pretend to be calm and express their feelings, and let out the overflowing love in their hearts.
Mo Ran silently thought: I like you, but I won’t disturb you or force you. You think that the ‘like’ I said is only the relationship between master and disciple. Although that is a pity for me, for you, it couldn’t be better.
Chu Wan-ning, on the other hand, silently thought to herself, ‘You said you like me because of pity, because you taught me, and because you saved my life. This isn’t the kind of love I want, but in exchange for your good feelings, I’ve already done everything I can do. I don’t have the strength anymore, and I don’t have any bargaining chips to exchange for more of your feelings. To be able to get a word of recognition from you as Shizun, a word of love, is enough. I won’t force it.
They didn’t say anything more to each other. The people around them who were watching the show only praised the deep relationship between master and disciple.
Only Ling ‘er, who was in the corner, vaguely felt that something was wrong. She looked at Mo Ran’s handsome face. There was a suppressed desire on that face, and there was some enthusiasm that made her feel strange.
But after all, she was pure. She grew up in a small village, and had never heard of the good feelings between men. Therefore, she only felt that it was strange, but she couldn’t tell what was strange.
In this world, there were always some people who were heartless and unrestrained when they didn’t like something. They could walk sideways, and even if the Heavenly King came, they wouldn’t be afraid.
But once they fell in love, it was like adding oil to the fire. Their hearts were hot and their eyes were red. They constantly longed for their love to be discovered by the other party. They wanted to sink into the sea of desire with the other party, and they couldn’t bear to part.
But what if the other party really did discover it? They were in fear and trepidation. They were afraid that the other party didn’t like them, afraid of being rejected, afraid of this and that. Not to mention the Heavenly King, this time, even if a cicada on a tree chirped, something completely unrelated, they would feel uneasy. Heavens, a cicada on a tree is chirping. Damn, does that mean he doesn’t like me?
The most hazy of love was often you guessing and I guessing, you hiding and I hiding. Even from two miles away, you could smell the pervasive sour stench.
Mo Weiyu was the Emperor Ta in his past life, and in this life, he was Grandmaster Mo.
He was notorious, and wise for his entire life.
He was the evilest ghost, and now he was the kindest person. But in the end, he still couldn’t escape this sour stench.
What about Chu Wanning?
That guy was forever a fish in a net. Even the slightest disturbance in love was enough to give him a headache and make him feel conflicted.
But he still wanted to save face. With a snort, he said, “What’s there to talk about such a rotten thing?”
He was really courting death.
