What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Lin Mushi snorted coldly, thinking what kind of nonsense this was, and said, "Blind boxes are just a tax on intelligence. Is the person who puts things in them blind?"

She grew increasingly annoyed and complained, "Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

For some reason, Gu Yuqiu wasn't angry when she heard this. Instead, she sighed with relief and nodded, saying, "At least you're not so stupid anymore."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback and asked, "Huh?"

"If it were you from before, you would definitely ask me again."

"And then will you feel disgusted with me?"

"of course."

"why?"

"I want to see how long you can stay innocent. Of course, you can also replace that word with stupidity."

"Then...why don't you want to try falling in love with stupidity?"

The conversation ended there.

Gu Yuqiu turned to Lin Mushi amidst the crowd, smiled, and asked, "Is this a confession?"

Lin Mushi didn't meet her gaze, watching the green light turn red at the last second.

Next, she spoke calmly and earnestly, a rare occurrence.

"You can interpret it that way, but that's not what I meant. There's still an unresolved issue between us, and we haven't known each other for very long. We need to consider whether this is just a momentary impulse. There are also some other things I need to think about and can't be sure of right now. Of course... there's also the most important thing."

She turned around, looked into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, and said, "What are you thinking?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "I'm surprised you could say these things; it's so unlike you."

"It might be because I come from a single-parent family."

Lin Mushi was silent for a while, then said softly, "No matter how naive and optimistic you are, you will subconsciously consider these things, and there is no way to ignore them."

Gu Yuqiu's smile faded, and she said, "So what's the first question?"

"Still the same one."

Lin Mushi looked at Gu Yuqiu and asked very seriously, "Who exactly are you?"

If this problem cannot be solved, how can we take the first step and talk about anything deeper?

Gu Yuqiu looked up at the distant sky and gave the most truthful answer.

"god."

She didn't turn around, and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Perhaps an evil god?"

Chapter 116: Are you sick?

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then asked seriously, "If I heard you correctly, the word you said was... God, right?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi took a deep breath, forcibly controlling her emotions, and said, "What I said before was all serious. I wasn't joking with you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"If I don't understand, then why would I say such things? It doesn't make logical sense, or do you subjectively believe that I can't speak properly?"

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze from the azure sky and walked forward aimlessly, neither fast nor slow.

Just as casual as her tone.

Taking a walk is a very relaxing thing. If you ask me who I am, then I will tell you who I am. This is also a very ordinary thing.

Besides, we've known each other for a while now, and we can be considered friends.

Lin Mushi stared at Gu Yuqiu's retreating figure for a moment before snapping out of her daze and quickly chasing after him.

Underneath her coat was a long skirt. After a few steps, she felt a little uncomfortable and had to reach out and slightly lift the hem of her skirt, changing her original steps to small, quick steps, which made her look somewhat awkward.

Gu Yuqiu slowed her pace, letting her come to her side.

Lin Mushi thought for a moment, then simply grabbed Gu Yuqiu's sleeve to stop her from walking so fast, and quickly said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but who would believe what you're saying?"

Without hesitation, Gu Yuqiu asked, "Then why are they unwilling to tell you about my true identity?"

Lin Mushi said irritably, "First of all, I know nothing about your background, and you know my ignorance, and you also know that I haven't gotten the answers from them. So, before I go to them to confirm, my source of information will be limited. Shouldn't I be skeptical?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "That makes sense."

Lin Mushi stared into her eyes and asked proudly, "So you're admitting you've been lying again?"

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "I agree that you have a skeptical attitude, but that doesn't mean I agree with what you say. These are two different things and shouldn't be mixed up."

Lin Mushi was speechless, thinking to herself, "According to your logic, we could just argue all day without even eating."

Gu Yuqiu said, "However, there is one mistake you must admit."

"mistake?"

Lin Mushi thought about it carefully, but still couldn't find where she had gone wrong. Helplessly, she asked, "What kind of crime are you going to pin on me this time?"

Gu Yuqiu said seriously, "You don't believe me."

Lin Mushi looked blank and exclaimed in confusion, wondering what she was talking about.

Gu Yuqiu didn't really want to explain, because it was a very embarrassing thing.

Isn't it shameful enough that the only believer chosen by the gods themselves is unwilling to believe even the words spoken by the gods themselves?

Even if 90% of the reason is that she is unwilling to explain and feels that the time is not right, does that mean Lin Mushi is completely without fault?

"I won't explain."

She said calmly, "That's just how it is. It's wrong of you to doubt what I'm saying."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "What kind of nonsense is this?" and said angrily, "How can this be wrong? You're really being unreasonable. Does that mean you'll believe anything I say now?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her, his expression one of pity, and said, "Have you forgotten that I can read minds?"

Lin Mushi was speechless, then laughed in anger and said in a cold voice, "Have you noticed that this is very unfair to me?"

Gu Yuqiu raised her hand, signaling her to stop talking, and said, "I don't want to argue with you."

"If this counts as arguing, then... just pretend I never said anything before." Lin Mushi stopped looking at her, her tone becoming extremely calm.

Gu Yuqiu was well aware of her current mood and asked, "What's the reason?"

Lin Mushi remained silent for a long time before saying, word by word, "I cannot accept this unequal relationship."

"Where is the imbalance in this?"

"...Are you going to start reasoning with me?"

"That's one way to understand it, but I hope you understand that the focus is on solving the problem, not arguing to vent your emotions."

Do you think I can remain calm?

"If I can't, I'll forget what you said before."

The two looked directly into each other's eyes, unblinking, their expressions resolute.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mushi suddenly said, "Then let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat, even though I can't understand what you're thinking."

She never expected to hear such words today, so she was indeed quite agitated earlier. Although what she said was all from the bottom of her heart, her tone was inevitably sharp.

The two fell silent and walked slowly in the warm winter sun.

Unlike before, Lin Mushi no longer grabbed Gu Yuqiu's clothes, and their paces gradually became different, no longer in sync.

Interestingly, after wandering aimlessly for a while, the two returned to that coffee shop once again.

One evening, this coffee shop was taken over by agents of the Special Affairs Bureau because a confrontation almost broke out between Gu Yuqiu and Lu Xiu.

The latter is naturally not here today, so the coffee shop is no longer deserted, but as lively as usual.

Gu Yuqiu found a seat and sat down, while Lin Mushi went to the counter to order, just like before, without any difference.

Then, the two sat together again after half a month.

Unlike their usual familiar demeanor, this time they appeared very serious, devoid of any of their usual casualness.

This is directly related to the topic that follows.

"I have many secrets I can't show."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Most of the time, it's not that I'm unwilling to speak to you properly, but that you're not entitled to hear it, such as Shen Muchan's true identity."

Lin Mushi understood and said, "You want me to believe you unconditionally because you have an inexplicable secret, is that what you mean?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi looked into her eyes and asked earnestly, "So you'll believe what I say, right?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I won't ask someone to make a one-sided effort."

This statement, of course, means to acknowledge.

Lin Mushi shook her head and said, "However, your ability to read minds prevents us from having an equal environment, so your demands are unfair."

Then she added, "My disagreement doesn't mean I'm going to lie to you or use deception to force you to do something I want."

Gu Yuqiu said, "You're simply opposing it."

Lin Mushi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "But I'm not opposing for the sake of opposing."

The conversation had become too serious, so she smiled at this point, obviously to ease the tension between them and make things less somber.

Gu Yuqiu remained noncommittal and said, "Then, the next question."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "What else could there be? Wasn't this the only thing we were arguing about before?"

Gu Yuqiu looked into her eyes and asked, "You like me, right?"

"Eh..."

Upon hearing this question, Lin Mushi could no longer maintain her composure. Her eyes widened, filled with bewilderment, completely unable to process what she was seeing.

She certainly didn't dislike this straightforward, unadorned manner, but she really didn't expect to see it in Gu Yuqiu.

Although the previous question, "Is this a confession?" gave me a feeling, it was still a roundabout way of saying something, no matter how small that roundabout way was.

Okay, I know that the two are actually not that different, but I was the one who took the initiative back then, and I knew how bad your personality was, so I was mentally prepared in advance. Of course, I wasn't surprised and could remain calm... But aren't we talking about something very serious now?
