Chapter 30 What are you doing here?
"System, come out quickly, the time has come to need you. Find me where Mo Xuan is."
"Host, I can find someone, but you have to..."
"Points, huh? Go ahead and deduct them, hurry up and tell me where Mo Xuan is!" Before the system could finish speaking, Lu Jinyan had already learned to answer first.
She knew exactly what kind of person the system was.
"Alright, host, please wait a moment, I'll check for you right away!"
Lu Jinyan rolled her eyes. This girl, you could say she's conscientious, but all she can think about is points. You could say she's not conscientious, but she's always urging her to do tasks.
The system acted quickly. Before Lu Jinyan could finish complaining, the system had already located Mo Xuan. Lu Jinyan stopped dawdling and followed the directions provided by the system, quickly traversing the manor.
However, the more she walked, the more familiar the road seemed to her.
"Wait a minute, why does this road seem so familiar?" Lu Jinyan scratched her head, racking her brains, but couldn't remember.
"Of course you know it well, you walked this path this afternoon!" the system replied irritably. It was unclear whether its host was a bit slow; she couldn't remember what she should, but remembered things she shouldn't. She'd walked the same path that afternoon, and by evening she'd already forgotten it.
"Hmm? You walked past here this afternoon?" Lu Jinyan stopped when she heard the system's words and carefully looked around. She then realized that she had indeed walked past here this afternoon. Not only in the afternoon, but she walked past here almost every day.
This is a path leading to the woods behind the mountain, but she usually walks it during the day, while today it was already quite dark, which is why she didn't recognize it immediately.
The woods behind the mountain are quite large. There is a pavilion in front of the woods and an open space next to it. Lu Jinyan remembers that there is also a woods outside the city at the foot of the mountain, with a pavilion outside the woods and an open space next to the pavilion.
Mo Xuan was found in the woods at the foot of the mountain. Why do the people here like to build pavilions outside the woods? And why do they have to leave an open space around the pavilion? What's wrong with them? It's such a waste of land.
Wouldn't it be nice to build this pavilion in the woods? Wouldn't it be nice to plant some flowers and grass in the open space next to it? Lu Jinyan didn't quite understand the aesthetic sense of the people here, but that open space was suitable for doing something else.
So these past few days, when she had nothing to do, she would take Chuchu, Chunhong, Qiuju, and the others to the open space outside the woods to roast sweet potatoes, corn, chicken, and have barbecue.
With such a large open space, they could do whatever they wanted. After eating and drinking their fill, they could lie down on the fallen leaves, look at the sky and the woods, which was quite a unique experience.
That's why she felt this road was familiar; it leads to the back mountain, where Mo Xuan is.
At this moment, Mo Xuan was sitting on a bench in the pavilion, leaning against a pillar, one leg bent and the other casually draped to the side, his head down, lost in thought.
When Lu Jinyan arrived, she saw this scene and was almost stunned. She had to admit that Mo Xuan was really good-looking. She was a country bumpkin and couldn't find any good adjectives, so she could only say that he was good-looking.
But she is truly beautiful, so beautiful that she can't describe it. It's just that the aura she exudes makes people hesitate to approach her.
Mo Xuan sensed Lu Jinyan's presence the moment she stepped into the open space, but neither she nor he moved.
Mo Xuan didn't move because he wasn't sure if he should. He had lost control and kissed her in the hot spring, and he didn't know how to explain it. Would she be angry?
In the past, if he were willing to kiss a woman, she would be overjoyed and wouldn't need to think about explaining or worrying about getting angry.
For some reason, after kissing Lu Jinyan, Mo Xuan remained calm, but inside he was panicking. He was afraid she would be angry, though he couldn't explain why.
That's why he stayed here alone—because he didn't know how to face her. Now that she's here and sees him standing still, she must be angry.
While Mo Xuan was lost in thought, Lu Jinyan was completely captivated by his good looks. She didn't care at all about Mo Xuan kissing her. In her mind, being kissed by such a handsome guy was a win for her.
"Host, host, snap out of it! Wipe your drool, it's all over the floor!" The system couldn't bear to look at its host's worthless infatuation.
"What? You're drooling?" Lu Jinyan was startled and hurriedly reached out to wipe her mouth, but she found nothing!
"System, you've gone bad! You actually dared to wash me clean!" Lu Jinyan muttered angrily, then remembered her business and hurriedly walked towards Mo Xuan.
"Mo Xuan, it's already dark, why are you here all alone?"
Mo Xuan watched Lu Jinyan walk towards him without saying a word, because he really didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Jinyan walked up to Mo Xuan in a few steps and saw that he wasn't speaking, so she looked down at him curiously.
"What are you doing here?" Noticing Lu Jinyan's approach, Mo Xuan felt a sudden panic, but his words remained cold.
"Me? I came to find you! You really know how to pick a place, I've been looking for you for ages!" Lu Jinyan pouted, a little unhappy, thinking to herself that she even got tricked by the system in order to find you!
"You called me...what's up?" Catching a glimpse of Lu Jinyan's slightly sullen expression, Mo Xuan subconsciously softened his tone and then looked up.
Lu Jinyan was originally speaking to Mo Xuan with her head down, but when Mo Xuan looked up, the two were very close, close enough to feel each other's breath.
Mo Xuan's sudden look up startled both of them. At such close range, their breaths brushed against each other's faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Mo Xuan looked at the pretty face so close to his, and at Weiwei's slightly swollen lips, and subconsciously frowned.
Was he too rough in the hot spring? Or is her skin just too delicate? Just a light kiss, and her lips are already a little swollen and haven't gone down yet?
Lu Jinyan was also staring at Mo Xuan. At such close range, she could even see his eyelashes clearly. They were so long and thick; she envied them.
Looking at those alluring red lips, Mo Xuan inexplicably wanted to get closer again. Feeling Mo Xuan's breath become hot, Lu Jinyan shuddered. She threw something into Mo Xuan's arms and ran away without looking back.
"Um, I... I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
The feeling was as if a ghost was chasing him from behind, running incredibly fast. Mo Xuan sensed something hurtling towards his chest, and he instinctively reached out to catch it.
Watching that fleeing figure, Mo Xuan felt a pang of sadness. Was she afraid of him?
He opened his palm and looked at the small red stone in his hand. His emotions became even more complicated. Ever since Lu Jinyan rescued him, she had given him a small stone like this almost every day.
He had been hiding in the hot spring for the past few days, so Lu Jinyan hadn't brought him anything. She had come to see him just now, actually to bring him this stone.
Mo Xuan suddenly felt the stone in his hand getting hot, and then it disappeared into his palm. He stared at his palm for a long time, and then sighed.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings towards Lu Jinyan. At first, he only thought of her as a pretty little demon who had saved his life.
He felt a strong urge towards her, but it was merely a desire to mate with her, and not a strong one. She had saved his life, and he felt he needed to repay her. He thought that if she ever needed him in the future, he would help her once more, and that would even things out.
But as time went by, he began to have different feelings for Lu Jinyan. He wanted her, but it wasn't driven by physical desire; rather, it was his heart that wanted her.
He began to pay attention to her every move, and became concerned about her every move. On the day she got drunk, he kissed her. Although it was just a fleeting kiss, he still felt an unprecedented change in his body.
That longing, that excitement, that feeling of his blood boiling made him desperately want more, but not just simple mating or venting his desires.
His parents loved each other very much, and their relationship has always been very good. Thousands of years have passed, and they are still inseparable. His father has always only had his mother by his side. No matter how much other women try to seduce him, they can never catch his eye.
His brother, however, seemed to be different. He was always surrounded by all sorts of women. He said that women were nothing more than tools for mating, venting desires, and procreation.
So even though he had countless women around him, he didn't truly love any of them. He said he would never be like his father, giving up everything so wonderful for his mother alone. He even harbored some resentment towards his father, saying that if his father hadn't given that position to his mother, he wouldn't have had to scheme and fight for it.
He said his father was a failure who gave up everything for a woman. He said he would never be like him in his life. So he accepted all the beauties offered to him by those who wanted to please him. Now he has a large number of concubines and countless children.
But Mo Xuan was different. He envied the relationship between his father and mother, so from a young age he wanted to be like his father, to find someone he loved and spend his life with her.
So even though he had sexual desires after he came of age, he never touched anyone else. He never touched the concubines who were sent to his mansion; he secretly gave them away.
Even if his older brother mocked him behind his back, saying he was no good and useless, he didn't care, because his father had said that if it wasn't the person he wanted, he would rather not have them!
