You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?-Chapter 85 - Not Just a Buddy, but a Young Master?

Ruan Qingqing remained silent, choosing not to respond.

Since that night of the full moon, this consciousness had been residing within her body.

It was like a stubborn plaster stuck to her heart; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake it off completely.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that after merging with me, you won't be yourself anymore?"

In this consciousness's eyes, the girl's disregard was nothing more than a child's tantrum.

She continued talking to herself.

"Just think of it as gaining an extra memory. It's okay."

"You are me, and I am you. We are both Ruan Qingqing—the same person, without distinction.”

"No..." The girl lowered her head, her hands curled up on her knees. "I don't want to."

The consciousness within her was surprised by her response.

"Don't you want to fully control the power after the transformation?"

Ruan Qingqing closed her eyes.

Her past life was too elusive.

Even if the other person was truly her former self, she didn't want to share memories with her.

As for the reason behind this thought...

Her lips curved into a soft, lingering smile.

"I'm just afraid that the me from that time would hurt Mu Mu."

The consciousness within her was slightly taken aback and then couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe~"

It laughed at her stubbornness and innocence.

"Silly goose. You only think it's okay to use the transformed power if you can because you're confident Ji Mu won't leave you."

After all, they came from the same place, so how could she not know what the girl was thinking?

Want to boil a frog in warm water? There has to be a frog in the pot first.

"But what if I told you that Ji Mu is about to transfer to another city?"

Ruan Qingqing's eyelashes trembled.

"Impossible!"

Her throat tightened, and her rapid breathing seemed to restrain her emotions.

"Mu Mu wouldn't leave me."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wouldn't leave? Ha."

The consciousness within her chuckled mockingly.

"Do you know when Ji Mu left in our previous life? Right after the swearing-in ceremony.”

Although the boy wore strange glasses to hide his appearance and the swearing-in ceremony was held more than a month later, the gears of fate would eventually turn back on track.

Ruan Qingqing's heart trembled and her knuckles moved involuntarily.

Even though her subconscious told her the other party might be lying, her chest felt heavily blocked.

In her mind, that consciousness continued its heart-wrenching mockery.

"Silly goose, I admit that Ji Mu cares about you a lot in this life, but how much does he really care?"

"Shut up..."

"Do you really think he would stay in Tianhua City just for you, passing up the opportunity to study somewhere better?"

"Shut up..."

"In the end, he probably just sees you as a good friend he gets along with."

"Shut up."

"Admit it, silly goose. He doesn't care about you as much as you think."

"I told you to shut up!"

Her voice rose suddenly, and, for the first time, a fierce expression appeared on Ruan Qingqing's pure, beautiful face.

"Get lost! You're a pathetic person who could only fantasize secretly about Mu Mu while doing shameful things in your past life. You have no right to cause trouble between Mu Mu and me!"

"Mu Mu would never leave me. Never!"

Her chest heaved as she nearly growled these words.

"...Yes."

The voice of her conscience hadn't resurfaced in a long time, but when it did, it was much colder.

"You're right. I used Ji Mu countless times for comfort and release in the dead of night. But how much better are you?"

"Silly goose, you're a pitiful failure, too."

"You're afraid to confess your feelings to Ji Mu because you're afraid of being rejected, so you keep suppressing yourself to maintain the status quo."

"You hate that he only sees you as a friend. You resent that he treats you with indifference. You're even more furious that he has never desired you.”

"So, you can only pretend to be obedient and pure on the surface. At night, you hide in your room, thinking about doing all kinds of excessive, dirty things to him."

“Disgusting!”

"No, it's not..." Ruan Qingqing's lips trembled slightly. "I didn't..."

"You didn't?"

The voice in her head sounded as if it had just heard an absurd joke.

"Playing the pity card might fool Ji Mu, but do you think you can deceive me? We're essentially the same person, aren't we?"

"Silly goose. You were actually awake on the night of the full moon, weren't you?"

The tone carried a hint of amusement. Although it was the same voice, the consciousness within sounded more like an enchanting witch.

"Tsk, tsk. You could have stopped me from hurting Ji Mu. Why didn't you?"

"Since we are the same person, you should have experienced all the feelings I did."

"So..."

Pausing deliberately to observe the girl's reaction, the consciousness saw her face gradually turn pale, just as expected.

For a moment, her pleasure intensified.

"Silly goose, you were secretly enjoying it, weren't you?"

Ruan Qingqing's shoulders shook uncontrollably as she tried to calm her turbulent emotions, but the other party had no intention of letting her off the hook.

That nightmarish voice forcibly dragged her into the sticky, enchanting memories of that night, like a bone-deep affliction.

"Do you know why I figured it out?"

"Because...every night these past few days, you've been reliving the events of the full moon night, burning with desire for comfort."

"It's hard to bear when you only get a taste of it once, isn't it?"

"Of course, including now."

"No one knows that the pure and noble boy who's giving a serious speech on stage was humiliated by you that night, pinned down and at your mercy."

"Just thinking about it excites you to the point that..."

"I didn't..." Ruan Qingqing unnaturally brushed her hair aside, unwilling to admit it.

"I'm sweating because of the high temperature."

"Oh, sweating, huh?" The voice inside her head said with a mischievous tone. "You sure are sweating a lot."

The girl pursed her lips and turned her head away, choosing to ignore it.

Seeing this, her past self-decided not to tease her any further.

"Ruan Qingqing has always been Ruan Qingqing."

"No matter how Ji Mu calls you 'silly goose,' our inherently wicked nature won't change."

"I'll wait for the day you change your mind and come to me."

With that, the voice disappeared and did not resurface.

The girl raised her gaze to look at the boy on stage. He stood tall and radiant.

In the dim corner of the auditorium, shadows cast a murky light upon her.

Mu Mu, you won't leave me, will you?

You promised you wouldn't let me be alone and helpless again.

In this world without parents, you care about me the most, don't you?

Her blood-stained lips moved subtly, making them appear particularly enchanting and beautiful. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

It was a pathological obsession, a fanatical attachment.

These barely audible murmurs drifted away and disappeared into the air.

…

Afternoon.

The swearing-in ceremony finally ended after more than an hour.

Ji Mu's feet were sore from standing, so he wanted to sneak away and find a place to rest. Unexpectedly, however, the homeroom teacher informed him that the principal wanted to see him.

Why does this old man always have so many things to do?

Walking down the corridor, Ji Mu suddenly felt a chill and stopped in his tracks.

"Strange. Why does my back feel so cold all of a sudden?"

[Who knows? Maybe you kicked off your blanket and caught a cold last night.]

The system, busy playing a game, responded dismissively.

"Hm, that's possible."

Ji Mu didn't think much of it and quickly put it out of his mind.

He walked straight to the door labeled "Principal's Office" and stopped.

He curled his fingers and knocked lightly a few times.

"Come in."

After hearing the response from inside, he turned the handle and pushed the door open.

"Principal, did you call for me?"

"I didn't call for you." The principal calmly brewed tea and smiled as he looked to the side. "It was him," he said.

Hmm?

Instinctively, Ji Mu followed the principal's gaze.

He saw a middle-aged man with a rugged face sitting upright on the sofa, exuding a subtle aura of authority.

It wasn't hard to guess that he had held a high position for many years.

However, Ji Mu had never met this person before.

Feeling puzzled, he asked, "Hello, may I ask..."

"Little Mu."

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and walked over quickly, his eyes slightly red.

"I am your uncle!"

Ji Mu: "...?"
