Chapter 289: 143. Date A Live! Four kills in one night! Yurong really likes Eldest Senior Brother! _3
On the contrary, she always put others before herself.
"Yurong, you really... *sigh*."
The cold wind whipped around them, sharp enough to pierce even a cultivator’s body. Lin Xiao felt a pang of sympathy. Without allowing her to refuse, he took off his chief disciple’s brocade robe and firmly draped it over her.
The robe barely closed over Guo Yourong’s proud, full chest.
"Umm... you... you should fasten it yourself."
Lin Xiao gave an embarrassed smile and prepared to withdraw his hand.
He murmured nostalgically, Ah, my Yurong has grown up. When she was little and wore my clothes, they were certainly never too small for her.
"Of course."
But Guo Yourong didn’t let go of Lin Xiao’s hand, instead guiding it back to rest on her chest. A hint of sadness touched her beautiful, mature features. "Actually, Yurong grew up long ago," she said, her voice soft. "It’s just... Eldest Senior Brother has never been willing to truly see me as I am now."
"Ah."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao was suddenly at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.
Seeing her Eldest Senior Brother remain silent, Guo Yourong lowered her head and asked again, "So, from the looks of it, Eldest Senior Brother has already spoken with Senior Sister Wanning, right?"
"Will she... will she bless Eldest Senior Brother’s... marriage... to Yurong?"
As she uttered the word "marriage," her cheeks flushed crimson, and her heart began to pound.
Yes, she still felt as if she were in a dream! She had admired this man for many years, but... to suddenly be about to become his Dao companion! This was all too thrilling and unpredictable!
Lin Xiao cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject. "Yurong, let’s not talk about this for now..."
"Come, Eldest Senior Brother has a treasure to show you."
With that, he fumbled in his robes for a moment and produced a heart-shaped jade stone.
"What is this? Is it a... gift for Yurong?"
Guo Yourong pursed her luscious, M-shaped lips, a hint of delightful surprise on her face.
"Yes."
Lin Xiao composed himself, one hand supporting his junior sister’s slender waist, his expression sincere. "This is called a Lovesick Stone. I, your Eldest Senior Brother, specially bought it for you on my way to Beacon City to meet the Northern Territory Queen, Ye Xuan’er."
"Legend says that among common folk in the Secular World, young men and women often use this item to express their mutual affection. It’s said that if a Lovesick Stone is split into two halves, with the man and woman each holding one, they can hear each other’s longing even if separated by the ends of the earth!"
"You’ve always found it hard to believe that Eldest Senior Brother has feelings for you, haven’t you?"
"Today, we’ll each take half. I give this heart to you."
With that, Lin Xiao expertly and precisely infused a strand of spiritual sense, splitting the jade stone in two. He then placed one half into his junior sister’s long, slender fingers.
"Unforgettable longing will always find its echo."
"From now on, no matter how many mountains and rivers separate us, I, your Eldest Senior Brother, will always be able to sense your yearning."
Lin Xiao took his junior sister’s small hand in his and gently kissed its back.
Watching her beloved, who bowed with deep affection as he earnestly kissed the back of her hand.
Guo Yourong’s cheeks burned, and her body trembled slightly. Her usual valiant and heroic demeanor completely vanished!
"What’s wrong, Yurong? Are you not happy?" Lin Xiao asked gently.
"No, it’s not that..."
"Eldest Senior Brother... I... *sigh*! Yurong... I’m not as well-read or sensible as Junior Sister Youwei, so I don’t know what to say right now! In short..."
"In short, Yurong really, really likes Eldest Senior Brother!!!"
As she finished speaking, this eighteen-year-old fairy in red was blushing deeply, her beautiful face resembling a tempting apple!
Then, closing her eyes and taking a bold step with her full, shapely long legs, she threw herself into her Eldest Senior Brother’s wide, warm embrace!
Her spirited high ponytail traced a vibrant, youthful arc through the air!
