The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 135 Hug
Under the courtyard lights, the girl looked up at him with her head slightly tilted back. Her dark, clear eyes reflected the light of the incandescent bulb, making them dazzling and beautiful.

The dazzling light seemed to flicker slightly in Leng Yu's narrow, red eyes.

But Rinyu felt that she was looking at someone else.

Lin Yu's lips tightened slightly, and he uttered only one sentence: "Do you... like me?"

His clear, cool voice rang distinctly in the quiet courtyard, as if it too were imbued with the cool, desolate atmosphere around him.

Jiang Mian stared at him for a long time, then suddenly hugged him, snuggled into his coat, and tightly hugged his waist with both hands, burying her face in his chest.

"I like you." Jiang Mian's fingers squeezed his lean waist slightly through his clothes, not knowing what she was angry about. "Do you like me? What do you like about me?"

The future Rin Yu told others in person that she didn't like her.

Perhaps she was angry about this, Jiang Mian herself wasn't sure.

Although Jiang Mian has already discovered the clues—that the future Lin Yu said he didn't like her—based on those events, he probably liked her, he just wouldn't admit it. But she only realized this now that she's transmigrated.

Lin Yu felt a sharp pain in his waist as it was pinched hard. At that moment of pain, his expression didn't change, but then, because Jiang Mian hugged him tightly, a different emotion flashed across his face, and his arm froze in mid-air as if it hadn't reacted.

A moment later, his narrow, red eyes lowered slightly, and his gaze fell on Jiang Mian. When he realized what was happening, he wanted to hug her back.

But he noticed the moisture on his clothes; if he hugged Jiang Mian, that moisture would soak her clothes.

So the arms that were originally meant to hug Jiang Mian moved slightly, but eventually slowly fell to their sides.

In response to Jiang Mian's question, he softly replied, "I like you, I like Jiang Mian, I like Mianmian."

Hearing these words of affection, Jiang Mian's heart beat a little faster, a mixture of complex, joyful, and happy emotions swirling within her.

It's just because he rarely speaks, yet he made it so long to say "I like you".

His voice was soft and slow as he repeated the word "like" several times before continuing, "I don't know why I like it, but by the time I realized it, I already liked it."

When he realized what was happening, his gaze was fixed on her.

Some feelings of love are like buds that slowly sprout and grow unnoticed in the course of a relationship, and even the person experiencing it doesn't know when those buds have grown.

"I don't know if my answer satisfied you." Lin Yu lowered his brows, his fingers curling slightly at his side. He wanted to touch her, but was worried that the dampness on his body would soak her clothes. "But this is what I really think."

"Barely passable, I'll give it a ten," Jiang Mian snorted.

Lin Yu lowered his eyes: "What's the maximum score?"

“A perfect score, that is, ten points.” Jiang Mian said slowly.

Lin Yu's heart softened and tingled. She slightly curved her lips into a smile, and the red mole at the corner of her lips twitched slightly, making her look subtly sexy and beautiful. Her voice, which had been clear and cool, now had a soft and doting tone: "Thank you for the high score, teacher."

"Ahem..." Jiang Mian felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the obedient teacher address her.

He really does act like a model student.

"Let's go back to the living room." Jiang Mian grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

Lin Yu, standing behind her, stared at the girl's rounded back of the head. Although he had heard her say that she liked him, he still seemed uneasy.

His lips moved slightly, as if there was a hint of jealousy: "I always feel like you're looking at someone through me."

Do you really like me?

Jiang Mian paused, actually because seeing him reminded her of all the memories she had of spending time with Lord Rin. But Lord Rin was him.

They share the same little habits, the same eyes, and the same little quirks...

“That person was you too.” She turned to look at him.

"Me?" His gaze seemed somewhat doubtful.

Jiang Mian simply smiled faintly: "Yes, it's you."

She didn't explain why, nor did she intend to. But Lin Yu could tell from her eyes that she wasn't lying.

Perhaps she knew him once.

Some things don't need to be investigated too much; as long as the result is what you want, that's enough.

If it's him, then that's fine.

After washing up, Jiang Mian greeted Lin Yu and went back to her room.

Lin Yu stared at the door she had closed for a moment, then the door opened again, and his gaze unexpectedly met Jiang Mian's.

Her long, narrow, red eyes flickered with emotion.

Why did the door close and then open again?

Does she want to spend more time with him?

After opening the door, Jiang Mian went straight to the point and asked, "Is Lin Yu free tomorrow?"

"I'm free." Lin Yu nodded gently.

"I'm thinking of going out of the city tomorrow to pick medicinal plants in the White Moon Forest," Jiang Mian said quietly. "If you're free, that's perfect. You can come with me and protect me."

"Okay," Lin Yu replied softly.

Jiang Mian's gaze fell on his beautiful, ruby-like eyes.

Young Rin-sama still couldn't quite hide her emotions.

Perhaps after understanding his feelings, she looked at him more carefully, her gaze becoming more direct and undisguised as she looked into his eyes.

The eyes are always the window to emotions.

In that instant, he seemed to be anticipating her, but what was he anticipating her to do?

Jiang Mian blinked. Was she looking forward to getting close to her?

But she wants to get a good night's sleep tonight so she can conserve her energy for tomorrow's search for medicinal plants, so she won't be posting any pictures.

So Jiang Mian pretended not to notice the affection and anticipation he had hidden in his eyes.

"Good night, sleep well, and get up early tomorrow!" Jiang Mian smiled and waved to Lin Yu before closing the door.

Lin Yu's lips moved slightly, and she uttered the question, "Can you stay with me?"

In the end, he didn't say it, as if it were too hot to swallow.

Lin Yu silently returned to his room, took out his listening earphones, listened to Jiang Mian's long, steady breathing as she slept, and then quietly lay down to sleep with her.

His headaches were often relieved by this; hearing her voice would make his headache disappear.

Moreover, her frequent insomnia was reduced by hearing her breathing while she was sleeping.

Jiang Mian had no idea that her voice and the sound of her breathing while asleep had such a great effect on Lin Yu.

Even if you know that, this effect is probably just psychological.

Meanwhile, in the Jiang family's capital city.

Jiang Yu has been trying on wedding dresses these past few days. Because of this arranged marriage, she suddenly realized that this marriage, which should have belonged to the true daughter of the Jiang family, has now fallen on her shoulders.

When this marriage was proposed, it should have been hers, but the real heiress Jiang Mian was just recognized, so the identity of the marriage partner became unclear.

Fortunately, Jiang Mian is an F-level useless person.
