Love, Gun, Cupid

"Listen to me, Jasmine, I've already..."

“I need to use the restroom,” Jasmine replied. “I can’t hold it in any longer.”

"oh oh."

Humans have to use the restroom, and Lin Jiade really shouldn't have talked to Jasmine at that time. Moreover, his rough act of abducting Jasmine objectively exacerbated the leakage of Jasmine's wastewater.

He hurriedly put the other person down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jasmine run into the toilet. For a second, he thought Jasmine was just making an excuse to run away, so he wanted to block the toilet door.

Beside him, Cupid used magic to change into a policewoman's uniform, and while filming with his phone, he said, "The crime has been committed, and the perpetrator has been caught red-handed."

"I plead guilty, but I'll do it again next time."

Forcibly abducting a minor girl to his home is an outright crime, and Lin Jiade knows this, but at this moment he only feels excitement; breaking the rules is such a joyful thing.

Du Juan changed her clothes again and said, "You look very excited, Dona Dona, let's do something naughty together."

"I'd agree... not at all."

Lin Jiade regained his senses and busied himself with preparations. By the time Jasmine came out, he had already poured the black tea leaves into the teapot and added hot water to brew it. Soon, a cup of black tea was placed in front of Jasmine.

“In the past 24 hours, I have seriously reflected on myself and taken action. I have contacted Senior Sister Hehuan and received some helpful guidance,” he said.

After copying and pasting the things he had found in the martial arts classroom into front of Jasmine, Lin Jiade said sincerely, "Jasmine, I will not give up on you, so the best solution to this is for you to be honest with me, and then we can face it together."

Lin Jiade's serious expression was reflected on the surface of the teacup. Jasmine lowered her head and remained silent. Du Juan said with a half-smile, "I'm saying, are you really not trying to manipulate my Lin Jiade?"

I hoped he would find love, but I never said I wanted to cause him mental health issues.

At 0:30 on April 18th, the FA Cup semi-final will be between Chelsea and Manchester City. Pick the home team, and there will be an extra chapter if they win.

Chapter 57 Reasonable Reasons

Jasmine refuted each point: "First, I did not manipulate him; second, he is not yours; third, this is a matter for him to decide."

Du Juan laughed and said, "Really? It's a pity that I have a decisive influence on him. I made him pursue you, and I also have ways to make him fall in love with someone else."

"If you think that playing the role of an adversary will arouse my rebellious psychology and make me love him back, then you should put on a more convincing performance, you 18th-rate actor."

"At least I have the opportunity to perform. Do defective products have the opportunity to perform as normal people?"

Du Juan deliberately puffed out her chest and raised her head, using her actions to express Jasmine's fatal flaw as a woman. Jasmine held her teacup and didn't look at her, her expression unpredictable.

Jasmine didn't say it, but she was quite concerned about her middle school student figure; as for Dujuan, with her strong desire for control, she was annoyed by Jasmine's rebellious nature.

In their previous exchange, both of them successfully annoyed the other.

Lin Jiade is caught in a love triangle between a sudden intruder and his childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately, he has neither a gay friend with a confused sense of gender nor any friends who play the role of a lesbian.

Lin Jiade looked at Jasmine, who looked at him calmly and said frankly, "If I were just an ordinary human girl, I would probably agree to your request to date me."

“If you were an ordinary human girl, I think my feelings for you would only be pity. It is your horns, claws, scales, and tail that attract me; it is your dangerous charm,” Lin Jiade replied.

Du Juan interjected, "If you want to persuade Lin Jiade to quit, you'd better tell him your story and let him know what you're facing."

Jasmine thought for a moment, then looked up again and said, "Okay, wait until I finish my story, then you can decide whether to come and help me. If, by then, you still insist on fighting those things with me..."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Lin Jiade asked.

Jasmine lowered her head and said in an even lower voice than before, "At that time, I think I still didn't know what liking someone meant, but I tried my best to like you."

“If you mix gratitude with affection, I might actually want to cry,” Lin Jiade said. “I’m greedy; I want both your gratitude and your feelings!”

"I'm underdeveloped, flat-chested, short, and have short hair." Jasmine looked cautiously at Lin Jiade. "That big-breasted, long-haired senior is more to your liking, isn't she?"

Lin Jiade didn't want to lie, so he said, "I have many preferences, but only you have developed into love. Being small is great, I can hold you in my arms and be affectionate, and your thick tail is wonderful."

Jasmine was both amused and exasperated: "This is the first time I've felt that having a thick tail is an advantage. But I have a bad personality, I'm not lively, and I can't share your burdens."

"I like your quiet side. I love to talk. If there's another talkative person here, we'll all be chattering away. Who will I listen to then?"

“My sleep schedule is irregular,” Jasmine said.

Lin Jiade patted his chest and said, "I'll help you revise it."

"My grades are bad."

"I'm tutoring you!"

"I can't cook, I just throw my clothes in the washing machine, I don't have any hobbies, I feel empty... The only thing I can probably help you with is sending you money."

"It's okay, I'll teach you, I'll do the washing, I'll cultivate your interests and hobbies, and make your life incredibly fulfilling!"

Lin Jiade hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How much can you give me?"

Jasmine held up a number, and there was one more zero than Lin Jiade had expected.

Money is the best aphrodisiac. In an instant, in Lin Jiade's heart, Jasmine's charm surpassed that of Du Juan, making her his number one.

Jasmine said anxiously, "I'm telling you all this to make you understand that your feelings also have to bow to the hardships of reality. But you're even more excited? This isn't something that can be overcome by mere courage!"

Lin Jiade laughed and said, "Don't forget, I'm a simple-minded barbarian."

I haven't experienced the harsh realities of life yet. Even if you describe future problems, my ability to empathize is limited; instead, I'm eager to try and conquer the difficult mode.

“Not only that, you don’t even know about our racial differences,” Jasmine said. “Even now, my body temperature is three degrees higher than normal.”

"A human-shaped hand warmer? Okay, I'm a little sensitive to heat... but it's not an insurmountable temperature."

Jasmine said, "When I come of age, I will have a three-month estrus cycle each year, one month per season, and rest during the winter. During my non-estrus cycle, I may not be interested in you in that way."

Jasmine suddenly drove the car right in front of Lin Jiade's face, catching the young man off guard. But he immediately responded warmly, "It's okay, I'm happy as long as I can hold you!"

Dating isn't just about getting together to do *that*. In the past, people didn't have much entertainment. Once it got dark, they'd just roll up in bed and that was all they had left to do.

Nowadays, there are so many entertainment options: we play online games together, work out, play soccer, watch movies and TV shows at home, go out to eat, watch movies, travel, or even just sleep in at home...

There are so many things you can do, so you don't need to worry about this at all.

Jasmine blushed slightly: "But I'm worried I won't be able to control myself. When dragons are in heat, they're affected by hormones and become extremely violent and irrational, like a madman..."

Is this even possible?!

Lin Jiade turned to look at Du Juan, who mouthed "yes." The color drained from his face. He couldn't beat Jasmine. Did this mean he would be subjected to domestic violence by Jasmine for three months every year?

No, before that, there is a more serious problem. His weak weapons can't even break through Jasmine's defenses. Is he going to use the same methods he uses on cats in heat to deal with Jasmine?

The road ahead was difficult, but vanity and a strong will made Lin Jiade persevere even if he couldn't handle it. He swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's okay, I... I can manage. I'll learn magic, strengthen my body, do more squats, eat more leeks, and I'll definitely be a boyfriend who makes you happy!"

Jasmine's voice lowered further: "Then, we'll hatch eggs together. If you like playing soccer, let's have a whole team's worth of kids."

That's right. Generally, oviparous animals don't lay only one egg at a time.

Lin Jiade suddenly remembered some useless common sense. His mouth tasted bitter, and he replied tremblingly, "It's okay, I can learn!"

His ideal relationship consisted of holding hands, kissing, eating, watching movies, and shopping, while Jasmine was already fast-forwarding to laying eggs... The originally pure feelings were now mixed with some fanciful thoughts, and the economic calculations behind those thoughts...

He immediately sensed something was wrong.

People often say that marriage is the grave of love, but Lin Jiade believes that having a child is the end of love. In the past, his parents would talk about raising him. As an infant, he was quite willful and exhausted the adults.

One is fine, but if a whole football team comes, one couple can't handle it at all. They need more spouses to help... Wait, what am I thinking about as a reasonable reason to start a harem?

Lin Jiade patted his cheeks and became serious again.

Chapter 58 Jasmine's Memories 2

"Jasmine, what exactly happened yesterday?" Lin Jiade asked.

Jasmine copied and pasted yesterday's events, but she concealed the information Du Juan had given her. In fact, what made her believe the threat from Drinking Water Bro was the information Du Juan had given her.

She said, "Looking back now, I may have been influenced by that mind sorcerer's spells, or it may simply be a flaw in my personality."

He saw right through me. I've never trusted the Empire, I even hate this country... But more than that, I'm terrified. I possess a fortune, but I'm powerless to protect it, and besides, I'm a foreigner...

You brought me back to my senses, made me realize that impotent rage solves nothing, and then today, when I went out, I happened to run into you, and just like that… you brought me back.”

Just as Lin Jiade was about to ask something, Jasmine said, "Wait, there are some things I've been holding back, and I want to find someone to confide in. It's like a stone weighing on my heart, but who can I tell?"

Until I met you, Lin Jiade, you are more important than you think. Otherwise, when that psychic threatened me to target you yesterday, I wouldn't have been so...irritable. That's not like me at all.

“It’s only human nature,” Lin Jiade comforted. “If someone threatened me with my parents, or you and Dujuan, I would panic too, and when I panic, I might not think straight.”

Jasmine turned around and glared at the cuckoo, while Cupid, who was just a backdrop, smiled at Jasmine.

Jasmine said to Lin Jiade, "You know I come from Swan City, the third largest region of the Western Province."

From the perspective of Homo sapiens, the third region of the western province was part of the legal territory of the universal empire, where Homo sapiens had settled and multiplied for over 2500 years. However, they would not have known that other races had settled there for over 50,000 years.

Jasmine looked at the cuckoo: "How much do you tell him about our history with Homo sapiens?"

“Very few. He only knew that Homo sapiens, with the help of the heavens, defeated the alien races and became the overlords of this planet,” Du Juan replied.

Jasmine nodded and continued, "Then, let me tell you about history from another perspective."

The upright apes originated and rose to prominence on the third continent. At that time, dragons still ruled the skies, and diamond elves maintained a tranquil kingdom on the sixth continent. The planet at that time had fourteen continents and more than 700,000 independent regimes.

All of this came to an end with the rise of the upright apes, who were blessed by advanced alien civilizations such as the Celestial Observers, who bestowed upon them a destiny of conquest and a burning desire for it.

In the first ten thousand years, half of the seven hundred thousand regimes disappeared; in the second ten thousand years, only one in ten settlements of alien races remained; in the third ten thousand years, humans had occupied twelve continents.

The remaining alien races either fled to the harsh conditions of the fifth continent or to the sixth continent controlled by the elves. There, they held a meeting that lasted for 33 days.

The meeting resulted in their decision to use a forbidden magic to exterminate the upright apes, thus ushering in an ice age that lasted forty thousand years.

However, the most powerful magic in the history of civilization did not wipe out the upright apes. They competed with each other and fought against other species. In these 40,000 years, Homo sapiens exterminated all other sixteen related groups of upright apes, wiped out hundreds of other species, and destroyed their culture and history in the process.

But the story of the alien races and Homo sapiens was not over. The defeated alien races were forced to submit and migrate to all corners of the world. One branch of the dragon races migrated to the third region of the western province of the first continent, where they split into two branches: the red dragons and the white dragons.

The struggle eventually escalated into a bloody conflict. The arrival of Homo sapiens accelerated the bloody conflict between the dragon species, turning it into a war of mutual extinction.

With the establishment of the Universal Empire and the elimination of other separatist regimes, the living space of our alien races was further compressed, forcing the Red Dragon and the White Dragon to continue their struggle.

The Red Dragon was the loser. My parents and servants fled to Swan City and lived in seclusion, making a deal with the local imperial nobles to survive under their protection.

They enjoyed their first twenty years of peaceful life and had a child, which is me.

Du Juan added, "Although dragons are lovers of interspecies and have many offspring, only pure-blooded offspring produced by mating between dragons are called dragon offspring."

Lin Jiade hesitated before raising his hand: "Excuse me for interrupting, but how many years until Jasmine reaches adulthood?"

Dujuan replied, "The Red Dragon is the branch of the Dragon Clan that matures early. In another fifty-three years, she will be able to legally lay eggs for you. The Red Dragon's eighty years old is equivalent to eighteen years old in human years."

Lin Jiade felt his heart stop beating for a few seconds, and half of his body went numb. He shakily stretched out his fingers to calculate Jasmine's age, but Du Juan said with pity, "No need to calculate, it's a death sentence no matter how you calculate it."

Don't scare him!

Jasmine glared at Du Juan, then stood protectively in front of Lin Jiade like a mother leopard guarding her cubs. Du Juan pointed to the floor, then to Lin Jiade, and finally to herself, silently asserting her dominance.
