Li Tianjue couldn't say anything.
Looking at Su Luo's uncomfortable and weak state, as if he would lose her at any moment, this feeling was like a piece of flesh being gouged out of his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
"Don't ask anymore, Luo Luo, I'll go find a doctor for you. You should rest well..."
Before Li Tianjue could get up, Su Luo grabbed his hand and urged, "Alright, Eldest Senior Brother, tell me... cough cough cough... Tell me, who... who is the person you like? I just want to know this, cough cough cough..."
Li Tianjue's heart sank. He held Su Luo's hand to help her breathe, but he couldn't find the reason, which made him agitated.
"Do you like Sister Wen?"
Su Luo completely forgot what she had asked Li Tianjue the last time she was drunk, so she could only guess one by one.
Li Tianjue said dejectedly, "No, don't think so much. Look how uncomfortable you are."
No, he had to call Tianshu and the others to see what was going on.
Just as Li Tianjue was about to get up, Su Luo asked again, "Could it be Xiao Guo?"
They had spent so much time together, and Xiao Guo was so pure and cute. It was possible that Eldest Senior Brother liked Xiao Guo.
But Li Tianjue still didn't answer, and instead felt a little strange.
She... seemed to be a little better?
He heard that her breathing was much stronger, her voice was louder, and she didn't seem so uncomfortable anymore. Her grip on his hand was even strong, which was a big change from before.
Li Tianjue asked her carefully, "Luo Luo, are you feeling better? I see you..."
Su Luo panicked, "Oh no, I almost gave myself away!"
"Cough cough cough..."
She quickly coughed loudly, trying to cover it up, but how could Li Tianjue be so easily fooled?
He calmed down and quickly discovered the clue.
This girl was actually playing a trick on him, her courage was growing!
At first, Li Tianjue didn't expect Su Luo to lie to him. In his concern, he was fooled by her acting. Now he stared at Su Luo, sending his divine sense into her body to check again, and he was basically 80% sure.
She was fine!
"Don't ask so much, just rest well, or you'll feel worse later," Li Tianjue said calmly, going along with Su Luo's words without exposing her, wanting to see what she was up to.
Su Luo felt a little relieved. Eldest Senior Brother probably didn't see through it, right?
Her heart was like a cat scratching, and she had to get to the bottom of it. She pretended to be weak, coughed, and kept asking him questions while holding his hand. Her pitiful appearance made it seem as if she would die with regrets if she didn't get an answer.
Li Tianjue almost laughed in anger.
He had almost forgotten how Su Luo was when she first arrived at Qingxu Tian.
Her little mouth was so charming that it could kill without consequence, coaxing everyone around, and she was especially good at causing trouble. If he hadn't set a trap for Su Luo and put her in charge of the Resource Hall, the entire Qingxu Tian would probably have been messed up by her by now, and she would have directly replaced her Master as the sect leader!
If she wanted to act, then fine, he would play along with her.
Li Tianjue's eyes were deep, as if to ease Su Luo's heart, he finally said in a deep voice, "Does it matter if I like you or not? It's like this now, and you're still concerned about these things. Your health is important, are you thirsty? Shall I get you some water?"
Su Luo was completely unaware that Li Tianjue had seen through her disguise. She still pulled at his sleeve and pleaded softly, "I don't want to drink water, Eldest Senior Brother, just tell me. Do you really want me to die with regrets? Cough cough cough! Who... who do you like?"
After saying that, she looked at him pitifully, thinking, "Hurry up and say it, hurry up and say it!"
She was trying so hard to pretend!
Li Tianjue didn't know whether he should be angry or amused.
He was so worried about her, staying up for two days and one night with her, taking care of her. And this girl, as soon as she woke up, she was playing tricks on him. She really was asking for a beating.
"I like you, alright!" Li Tianjue suddenly said, his deep gaze fixed on her face.
"Ah, you like me?"
Su Luo was stunned. Eldest Senior Brother actually liked her?
After asking around, it turned out to be about herself.
For a moment, she froze there, forgetting to pretend to be weak, and her brain just short-circuited.
Impossible, impossible!
How could Eldest Senior Brother like her? She shouldn't be his type!
Only beautiful women like Wen Daier, with perfect figures, a good body, and seductive glances, were the types men liked. How could he possibly like her? They say that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. If he liked her, how could she not feel it?
He must be talking nonsense.
"N-no, it can't be, Eld-Eldest Senior Brother... You, you, you really... really... like... like me..."
Su Luo was so shocked that she stammered and couldn't even speak clearly.
This made Li Tianjue even more certain that Su Luo was pretending.
Seeing her shocked and cute appearance, he almost burst out laughing, and he could hardly hold back.
"Now you know, the person I like is you," Li Tianjue replied seriously, while secretly trying hard to suppress his laughter. He had never realized that teasing her was also so much fun.
However, what he said was the truth, but he didn't know how she would respond.
He wanted to hear the answer he desired from her.
Su Luo's heart pounded like a drum, and her face instantly turned red. This gentle gaze, this handsome face, the oppressive proximity was getting closer and closer.
Heavens, do you have to be like this!?
She was just joking to tease him, and he actually confessed?
From the first moment she saw Li Tianjue, Su Luo had a crush on his looks. Both his face and his body were so handsome and stylish! Especially his cold and murderous gaze... it was simply too cool.
Su Luo's mind flashed back to the scene of Li Tianjue soaking in the lake.
The rippling lake water enveloped his well-built body, his curves were extremely tempting, almost making people's noses bleed. Now this man was so close to her, and he said he liked her... Wahaha, she was going to die!
Su Luo tried her best to suppress the urge to avoid Li Tianjue's gaze and looked at him intently.
She knew that even though he said such sweet words, he must have said them to comfort her because he thought she was going to die.
Well-intentioned lies were not to be believed!
Li Tianjue's face moved closer again, his voice low and magnetic, with a hint of hoarseness, like the intoxicating temptation of midnight, "Then what about you? Luo Luo, I like you, who do you like? Be good, tell me..."
Seeing her nervous appearance, was she scared by his probing?
Even the little fox had days like this?
Su Luo's face turned crimson, her mouth felt dry, and she was so nervous that she wanted to hide under the covers.
How miserable! She knew better than to tease him. Looking at Eldest Senior Brother now, he seemed like a completely different person... Huh? Something was wrong, this wasn't Eldest Senior Brother's usual personality.
Could it be that he had seen through her pretense long ago?
Su Luo quickly recalled her previous actions, and then looked at Li Tianjue's eyes. There was no more worry, and he was no longer concerned about her physical safety. Instead, he was looking at her so seductively... Ahhhhh, she had indeed been exposed!
This man actually had a mischievous side too!
As Li Tianjue continued to move closer, almost kissing her face, Su Luo was already certain that she had been exposed. His words of liking her were indeed a lie, and this man was really quick to react. She wanted to tease him for fun, but she was seen through so quickly.
Admit defeat, or continue acting?
In an instant, Su Luo decided to continue acting, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you really like me?"
She already knew that he knew she was pretending. If she continued to act, could he still see through it? Would he know that she already knew that he knew she was pretending?
Acting opposite Li Tianjue, Su Luo suddenly became more interested, wanting to see who was more skilled!
"It's true, but I want to know who you like," Li Tianjue said with a gentle look in his eyes, half-truth, half-lie.
"I like you too!"
Su Luo threw caution to the wind and continued to act shamelessly, her eyes shining like stars as she looked at Li Tianjue and said shyly, "Eldest Senior Brother, I've liked you for a long time. I didn't expect you to like me too. I really... I can die without regrets now."
