I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 320, 1.21-36: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
"Let go of me..." The girl's face was flushed, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell, but even so, her words were still weak and unconvincing.

Mingxi chuckled, his lake-blue eyes sweeping over the blush on the girl's neck. His slightly husky voice, tinged with a hint of malice, teased, "But yours... doesn't seem to think that way?"

He whispered two words in the girl's ear, as if flirting.

After saying that, he decisively released the girl and took several steps back to distance himself from her.

Mingxi's expression returned to its original coldness and aloofness as she casually said, "Did you see that clearly? So you'd better not come any closer to us. We are different from innocent girls like you who grew up in the Church. What I just did was no different from what Mingjin did, and you'll never know whether it was genuine or just a deception."

The girl's face gradually turned pale after the initial rosy glow.

He glanced at the girl briefly, then said with a half-smile, "Mingjin and I have grown up surrounded by girls, so we're immune to this kind of thing. If we wanted to, there's basically no girl we couldn't win over."

Of course, Mu Yegui is not a woman at all, so she is completely outside their scope of consideration; he was only referring to girls.

"Even after what happened, you still haven't learned your lesson. I can tell from your expression that you were indeed attracted to me just now. But unfortunately, I was just teasing you. Please don't take it too seriously, or I'll be very troubled."

Mingxi reached out and tidied her stray hairs, then took out an invisible hair clip from her pocket and clipped up the stray hairs on the left side that were slightly covering her face.

The girl's face was pale, as if she was about to cry.

"You'd better be wary of us. We're men after all. Although we're not interested in you, you should know that some men have no morals whatsoever. Like your ex, that kind of trash, scum. If you run into someone like that, you'll probably be in even worse shape."

Mingxi reached out and lifted the bangs that were covering the girl's face, then gently clipped them back with an invisible hair clip.

After doing all this, he took a few steps back, raised his hands, and said innocently, "Ah, Mingjin and I are still trustworthy, we won't lay a hand on you."

This statement is as if his earlier actions and words of pinning the girl against the wall were nothing but a fart.

He took out a handkerchief and handed it to the girl, his face cold. He turned his head away and refused to look at her anymore, saying, "Take this and wipe your tears. Don't say I'm bullying you. Although I'm not as gentlemanly as Ming Jin, I'm not so clueless as to leave a girl crying. I didn't see anything."

The girl reached out and took Mingxi's handkerchief. He wore a white bracelet on his wrist; it was simple in design but very beautiful.

She looked up and saw Mingxi's ambiguous smile. She hurriedly turned her head to the side, and heard Mingxi's slightly teasing joke in her ear, "I'm curious, about my bracelet?"

The girl nodded. After what had just happened, she was no longer particularly afraid of Mingxi. Perhaps, as he said, she had indeed been attracted to Mingxi for a moment, because she felt a little lost when Mingxi was no longer so intimate with her.

She really is a bad girl...

Nuns are not supposed to have such feelings, yet she falls in love with one person after another.

She is sinful and unforgivable.

“My bracelet is white, and Mingjin’s is black. These two were braided by our mother to distinguish between us.” He suddenly chuckled and added, “Isn’t it ironic that even our own parents couldn’t tell us apart and could only rely on the color of the bracelet?”

The girl shook her head. Even twins are different, and she could tell them apart.

“I know what you’re thinking. You can’t tell the difference. You can only tell the difference now because Mingjin and I are deliberately acting differently. But if we acted the same, no one but her would be able to tell the difference.” Mingxi glanced at her and said coldly.

This "she" refers to Mu Yegui.

It's quite strange; they don't know why Mu Yegui can distinguish them so easily. Even though they sometimes deliberately swap bracelets and even switch personalities, he can still tell them apart perfectly. Why is that?

“She…” the girl hesitated before speaking.

"Mo? To others, she's like an empty doll without her own emotions, no matter how beautiful she is, she's not real. But even without a self, without a special personality, and without any shining points in the eyes of others, she still attracts me. I don't even know why myself, maybe it's because I know very well in my heart that I can never have her."

Mingxi sighed softly. She had fallen in love at first sight, and from the moment their eyes met, she knew that Mingxi belonged to no one. Yet, she still wanted to fight for the right to stand beside Mingxi, even if Mingxi wasn't her lover.

After all, no one can have her, so it doesn't matter where you stand next to her, because everyone's status is the same.

However, it was just wishful thinking; they wouldn't live to see that day.

"If there is a spring, would Mingxi like to make a wish?" the girl asked tentatively for the first time.

"Make a wish? How about letting Mingjin live?" Mingxi said with a light laugh.

“I thought…” The girl was slightly taken aback.

“Because Mingjin is only half a body, no one is as important as him,” Mingxi said softly.

She heard rustling footsteps beside her and turned to look at Ming Jin impatiently. "So slow, what are you doing?"

“It took a little time to catch a little guy.” Ming Jin chuckled gently, her lake-blue eyes quietly fixed on the girl.

The girl blushed and wanted to lower her head, but suddenly remembered what Mingxi had just said and stopped abruptly. In the end, she could only stare straight at Mingjin.

Mingjin clasped her hands together and stretched them out in front of her, saying softly, "Stretch out your hands."

The girl was filled with doubt, but she still obediently extended her hand.

Mingjin spread her arms, revealing a fluffy white squirrel with a large tail, its big, watery eyes staring at her with curiosity.

"I noticed you weren't in a good mood, so I thought I'd catch you a small animal as a gift, even though it took a little time to tame it," Ming Jin explained with a light laugh.

A fluffy white squirrel hopped obediently into the girl's palm and gently rubbed its head against her fingers.

My palms felt a little itchy, but they were very soft.

"Here you go." Mingxi casually handed her a brown acorn. "I just picked it up. It's perfect for feeding her."

"Thank you..." the girl whispered, her eyes red-rimmed.

This was the first time they had received a gift from someone, even if it was something insignificant to them.

If it were you, perhaps you could change something...

Ming Jin's decisive strike!

Geminis are so good at flirting!
