Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

……

Chapter 50 A Belated Love

With Jiang Nannan's arrival, the Poseidon Lake seemed to ripple with sweet waves.

She has transformed from the timid, gentle, and kind girl she once was into this one, with a confident radiance always shining in her golden eyes, and a dazzling aura surrounding her, making her an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"Have you eaten?" Shen Yumo asked awkwardly, completely ignoring Jiang Nannan's strange gaze.

Jiang Nannan frowned slightly, then chuckled as if she had thought of something. Only Shen Yumo could talk to her like that, but she really hoped that others could be like that too. Apart from two or three best friends, she really didn't have any friends at school.

Perhaps it's because there have always been few beautiful female friends.

"I ate a long time ago. Who asks if I've eaten as soon as we meet?" Jiang Nannan said with a slightly resentful tone, as if she wanted to express all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

"Uh..." Shen Yumo paused, then suddenly remembered something, patted his head. These were two different worlds, and their customs were naturally different as well. In his previous life, he would often ask everyone he met, "Have you eaten yet?" Just like fishermen living by the sea would greet each other with "How's the weather today?"

Jiang Nannan burst out laughing again as she watched the boy's series of strange actions. She felt just as happy as she did today, as if she hadn't had any truly joyful smiles in the past few years.

"Alright, let me ask you. You said you would come to find me, but I haven't seen you for so long. Have you forgotten about me?"

Being stared at by those breathtakingly beautiful eyes is not a pleasant experience. I, Shen Yumo, have seen countless people of all kinds, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in front of such a kind girl.

"Well... I'm still young. I was thinking of coming to see you in a few years. I didn't expect to run into you here at Shrek Academy. But how did you end up at Shrek Academy?" Shen Yumo asked with a puzzled expression.

But to Jiang Nannan, this expression was like rubbing salt into a wound.

Seeing the boy she had been longing for acting crazy, she thought, "How many years? In a few years, he might even forget me."

In an instant, all the grievances and troubles of the past flooded her mind. How many years does one have in a lifetime? If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet him again, she might never have had the chance to meet him again in this lifetime!

Her golden eyes instantly welled up with tears, like a clear, deep pool, filled with self-pity.

Shen Yumo looked at her, but because it was too dimly lit by the Sea God Lake, she couldn't see her expression clearly. However, she could see her delicate hand wiping her eyes and her choked voice like a nightingale singing. Shen Yumo immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Why...why is she crying? Oh dear...this...I..."

Shen Yumo didn't even flinch when facing those desperate criminals, but when she encountered Jiang Nannan, she seemed completely inexperienced, like a novice. She probably wouldn't have been so helpless even when facing a Title Douluo.

Shen Yumo took a few steps closer. She lowered her head and kept wiping the tears from her cheeks with her delicate hands. She didn't say anything when she realized he was coming, and just stared blankly at the floor tiles.

"Hiss..." Shen Yumo gasped a few times, her face contorted with pain. She instantly felt that she might not have a good night, or even be able to sleep at night. She had a terrible headache and had no idea what to do.

It's like a rough, hardworking farmer coming to the seaside to fish for the first time.

Don't make things so difficult, okay? All I, Shen Yumo, know how to do is kill people, you know? I really don't know how to coax or comfort children!

At this moment, Shen Yumo couldn't help but think of the Ice and Snow Emperors. He had been wronged when he was a child, but the Snow Emperor would hug him and kiss him on the forehead, and he would stop making a fuss and throwing a childish tantrum.

Does this mean I'm now the one having to coax someone else? Am I really supposed to hug her and give her a kiss too?

Do not!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

I'd give you a hug at most, but as for a kiss... forget it, it'd feel awkward.

Snow Empress: You think hugging makes you feel good? You deserve a beating...

Shen Yumo scratched himself like he had lice, looking here and there. He even ran to Jiang Nannan's side and looked into her calm eyes to make sure she was really crying, before continuing to crawl around with lice.

Women are made of water, especially beautiful women; their tears are no joke, goodness, at least 150 milliliters.

What a waste of so much water, sigh?

Shen Yumo tapped his head and suddenly thought of a way to make money. So many tears, and they were shed by the goddess Jiang Nannan. If he sold them, he would definitely make a lot of money.

There's no shortage of sycophants in this world. No matter where you are, wouldn't it be wonderful to sell something to a young person to lick? Shen Yumo had a feeling that it would definitely make a lot of money!

But people certainly won't believe these are Jiang Nannan's tears. Have they ever tasted them? How could they know what tears taste like? Oh no, I mean, how could they know what Jiang Nannan's tears taste like? Salty tears can be described as sugar water, unbearably sweet!

Was Jiang Nannan supposed to cry her eyes out to the buyer in person? He'd probably die on the spot… Sigh, a way to make money… I pray to heaven to give me a way to make money! And so, the first warlord appeared on the Douluo Continent! The Shen Clan Warlords! Truly impressive…

As he was thinking, his mind wandered off somewhere else, and he forgot that there was a girl crying for him beside him. It was absolutely outrageous!

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Nannan's attention had always been on him. Her long, sky-blue hair was like the most beautiful starry sky in the world, adorning a corner of the universe, but her owner was simply a host with terminal straight male cancer.

The host stood there in a daze, completely oblivious to the woman who was still crying beside him. He would occasionally stare blankly at the lake with his mouth agape, and would sometimes show a relieved expression, but then quickly fall silent.

Jiang Nannan was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She thought he should come and gently hug her and comfort her, but unfortunately, one glance out of the corner of her eye almost made her lungs explode with anger. What kind of idiot is this? Doesn't he understand?

She gritted her teeth and stomped her foot angrily on the floor tiles, as if the tiles and her teeth were the heartless man. It seemed impossible for that scumbag to take the initiative! She had to take the initiative herself! She walked towards him.

Shen Yumo, who was thinking about how to make a lot of money, saw Jiang Nannan walking over and suddenly remembered that there was a beautiful woman beside him that he hadn't entertained yet, so he gave an apologetic smile.

Before he could say anything, his lips were silenced by a gentle, moist kiss.

Shen Yumo's mind went blank for a moment, her sky-blue eyes widened!

Just as he was about to push her away, he noticed the difference in that instant. Her eyes were gently closed, and her long eyelashes were still fluttering slightly. They were very close, their lips were touching, and their cheeks were almost touching. He could clearly see her fair and delicate skin.

A crystal-clear dewdrop gently glided across her cheek, like the tears of the Statue of Liberty at her victory, or the raindrops of a fairy longing for her husband, clinging to her exquisitely beautiful face flushed slightly, making her breathtakingly beautiful!

Shen Yumo froze, placed his hands on her shoulders, and was about to push her away when he turned around and changed direction, gently sliding down her body along its exquisite curves.

Every inch is a surprise, every inch is an incredibly novel experience.

It stopped when it slid down to the girl's slender, soft waist.

Chapter 51 The Stubborn Nan Nan

It stopped when it slid down to the girl's slender, soft waist.

Perhaps this is what she has been waiting for all these years. What I need to do is accept this wonderful thing about her.

He felt an unprecedented surge of excitement; his heart, which had been silent for so long, began to pound wildly in that instant. Gradually, he learned to accept and be tolerant.

The kiss was even more passionate, and her slender fingers gently embraced her slender waist.

A tear secretly rolled down the girl's cheek as he let those hands roam freely. The awkward kisses, accompanied by their unbridled boldness, seemed to form an elegant melody.

Gradually, her response became less enthusiastic, and her delicate body trembled continuously. She thought of countless romantic and proactive scenes, but this day still came too quickly, so quickly that she couldn't react.

She's just reaping what she sowed. Could it all just be wishful thinking on her part? She's so worried. She only wants to give her virginity to her future partner. That's what she thought before, and that's what she still thinks now. If they were just strangers, she would definitely forget about it, like kissing a dog, and then have nothing to do with him anymore.

That's how I repay him.

Shen Yumo was slightly taken aback. The most primal desire in her heart gradually dissipated. She felt Jiang Nannan in her arms crying softly, her body trembling slightly, and the golden eyes in front of her were also slightly closed.

I think I did something I shouldn't have...

His own hands were casually placed on her slender waist, and he immediately realized what was going on. He quickly let go of her hands like they were hot potatoes, but found that her body was about to fall uncontrollably. Shen Yumo quickly supported her again. If she fell, he would be a complete failure.

"Nannan... what's wrong?" Shen Yumo showed a look of concern for the first time. In the past, he only thought that emotions would be an obstacle on his path to becoming stronger, and he was unwilling to get involved in them at all.

But when he met her, he encountered that innocent, kind, and beautiful girl from a few years ago. Her actions had left an indelible impression on Shen Yumo, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't care.

“Nannan…”

Hearing his soft call, the heartbroken Jiang Nannan slowly opened her eyes. She saw those deep eyes, but those eyes, usually so cold, now held worry and unease…

So, he also worries, and he cares about himself...

Jiang Nannan smiled inwardly, a sweet smile, and gently nestled against Shen Yumo's not-so-broad chest.

Jiang Nannan carefully felt each heartbeat, "thump thump..." She could hear it and sensed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Is this the sound of a heartbeat?

How amazing...

Seeing her actions, Shen Yumo couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. He wasn't stupid; his soul belonged to a grown man. How could he not understand the feelings between men and women?

Is Jiang Nannan pretty? The title of the most beautiful girl in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard wasn't given lightly. Is she strong? In the original novel, she was one of the Shrek Seven Devils, and her appearance was described as breathtakingly beautiful, with a temperament like that of a woman from Jiangnan. Isn't such a girl outstanding?

But he hesitated, out of fear!

He wasn't an irresponsible man, but he felt that with each other's concerns, the enemy would only be exposed to more flaws, and his own heart would also have many vulnerabilities. These things were fatal. Some things cannot be had at the same time. Whether you admit it or not, it's better to gain some things than to lose them.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. There must be a reason behind the saying left by our ancestors. If something exists, it's reasonable. There's no right or wrong in it.

And think about the future. Even if Jiang Nannan goes with him, so what? Shrek's life is like the shadow of a tree, fleeting and uncertain. He's fighting against heaven and earth, and he won't have many enemies in the future. Does he want to watch his woman be kidnapped and murdered in a melodramatic way?

My heart is like a knife, domineering and bloodthirsty, but once a crack appears, I always feel something is wrong when I'm cutting someone, and I can't defend myself when I'm being cut.

He needs to understand that being irresponsible today doesn't mean he won't be responsible in the future, and taking responsibility today doesn't mean he'll continue to be responsible in the future. It's not that he doesn't want to take responsibility; it's that he truly has to bear immense pressure to take responsibility...

The road ahead is long and arduous, the path to be built is still far, the food to be eaten is still plentiful, and the sleep to be slept is still scarce...

So... I choose...

accept.

If... if...

He sighed softly. The audience was going to say he was being pretentious. He admitted that he was just saying what he was thinking, just expressing himself. It didn't represent a final decision. Just like some things, even if you know they're wrong, you still have to do them.

If he refused, he could imagine Jiang Nannan's heartbreak. Besides, he had taken advantage of her today, and to be irresponsible would be utterly despicable and would be condemned by everyone.

“Nannan…”

He called her name softly, but she didn't respond for a moment.

"Nannan?"

"Hmm?" A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz came from inside her arms.

“Nan Nan, Shen Yumo isn’t stupid. She knows your feelings, but… I have many things to do…” At this point, her sky-blue eyes regained their previous composure and calm. “Those things are difficult, they could even take my life. Staying at Shrek Academy is only a temporary period of peace. Once I leave, I will face enemies countless times stronger than myself. My status means I can’t enjoy the treatment of ordinary Soul Masters. You… are a very good girl. It’s not that I don’t like you, but I don’t want to suffer with you…”

Strangely, the beautiful girl in his arms did not express any opinion, but listened quietly to his reasons.

Quiet.

A bad feeling crept over Shen Yumo, who felt a little uneasy facing a girl who posed no danger whatsoever.

"Yu Mo, you're so foolish. You shouldn't have helped me back then. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have met you, and things wouldn't have ended up like this today. I don't know your past, but I know you're no ordinary person. But please remember, I love you. I've decided to be with you, no matter what happens in the future, even if it means losing my life!" She quietly savored the long-lost tenderness of the embrace while recounting her unwavering determination, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

Did you hear that? He likes me, and that's enough for me. So, I'm going to be with him no matter what difficulties I face.

Shen Yumo's calm exterior couldn't hide the turbulent emotions churning within her. She was so endearing, a girl who was stubborn and even fearless.

He sighed for a long time, and whispered to the dazzling stars in the sky, "Okay."

The stars in the sky are all winking playfully, witnessing a pair of lovers become each other.
