Chapter 158: Chenxi's Feelings
Looking at Mo Fan, who was learning to swim not far away while deliberately hiding himself and glancing at Lan Kexin's body, Ellie couldn't help but shook her head.
"Haha, yeah, you think so too. And he's quite interesting, um... I don't know how to describe it, he just doesn't seem as rigid as the other people in the church, nor as greedy as the others.
Also, in the academy, because I am a saint, many people respect me, which makes it difficult for me to make any true friends. "
"Could it be because you two have similar statuses, so in his eyes, you don't have that status difference, so he won't feel nervous?"
Chenxi smiled helplessly and then answered.
"We do have similar identities, but have you ever thought about it? He is the son of the devil, and I am the saint. If we had met ten years ago, before the peace treaty was signed, we would have fought to the death. If he had a monster next to him, and I had a church member next to me, it would have developed into a war.
So my worries were not solved just because our status was similar. On the contrary, because our status was opposite, he would be more cautious about me. But guess what changed that made me let down my guard?"
Chenxi deliberately kept it a secret, and Ellie asked "Why" in a very supportive manner. Chenxi did not answer, but swam to the shore with Ellie, and only when they were lying on the lounge chairs on the beach did Chenxi slowly pick Ellie up.
"When I arrived in Chang'an City, I followed the dark element to find Mo Fan, and he was actually buying a house at that time. Can you believe it? He is the son of the Demon King, a member of the Demon Clan, but he can actually buy a house, instead of just robbing whatever he wants like the previous demons. And he is also the grandson of the King of Qin. If he wants, the King of Qin will definitely arrange it for him, and even give him whatever he wants."
"Well... this does sound strange, but it's okay."
"Yeah, it's okay. But his vigilance is poor. Our church told Qin that I was coming, and I had already set out, so when I arrived, the King of Qin should be talking about me.
I later found out that Mo Fan also arrived on that day. He walked and ate all the way there. When he arrived at the palace gate, he was even stopped by two guards. When he showed his identity, the guards said they had to go in and report. So he actually waited at the gate, and did not behave like a nobleman, just sat on the ground.
"This...maybe he is more casual."
"Really? When we talked face to face for a few minutes, he didn't realize my identity. In the end, I confessed to him. After he knew it, he was very wary of me, but... when I snatched his barbecue, he didn't care anymore and stared at the barbecue.
During that month, I basically followed him all the time for the mission, and I also ate at his house at night. If it were you, would you let your enemy eat at your home?"
“No… But if it’s Mo Fan’s words, I can imagine it.”
"Yeah, I don't need to tell you about the academy, you know it all. But that month really overturned my understanding of the demons, especially the son of the demon king.
According to the records of the church, all the sons of the devil in the past were gifted, but their personalities were also quite cruel and brutal. It can be said that if they wanted something, they would go and rob it, and if they couldn't rob it, they would start a war to destroy it. When they saw humans, especially church members, it was common for them to fight directly over a disagreement.
Over the years, although there has been a peace treaty, the relationship between humans and demons remains the same. Although there are cities where humans and demons coexist, those are often just for profit, and no one will really coexist with the demons in them.
And what about Mo Fan? During that month, he really treated himself as a human being. He lived with the citizens of Chang'an City and mingled with them. Can you imagine a scene where Mo Fan lost an argument and used his identity to shut others up? "
At the end, Chenxi couldn't help laughing. Ai Li imagined it and couldn't help laughing too.
"Not only that, Mo Fan would bargain when he was buying groceries. He would occasionally buy me necklaces and jewelry, saying they were suitable for me, and of course, he would bargain. I was very curious, firstly because I was his enemy, and it was clear that I was there to spy on him. Secondly, he obviously had no shortage of money, so why would he bargain?"
Ellie was also very curious, but this time, Chenxi did not keep her in suspense.
"The first question, he told me, even if she is a saint, she is still a girl, what's wrong with giving a girl a piece of jewelry? If he doesn't have money, then forget it, but he is not short of money.
As for why he bargained, he said it was fun and he was busy on his way to Chang'an, so when he got there, he wanted to give it a try. He didn't ask for a lower price, he just wanted to experience the fun of bargaining.
"Hehe, it's really his style."
Ellie listened and laughed.
"Right. You've lived with him for nearly a year. Aren't you a lot more cheerful now? Before, you were very shy."
Chenxi teased Ellie, and Ellie blushed.
“Just talk about Mo Fan, why are you dragging me into this?”
"Who told you to say I like Mo Fan first?"
"But you do like him, don't you? You were smiling when you talked about him, and once you talked about him, you got so excited that you couldn't stop talking."
"But...this doesn't mean I like him."
Chenxi still didn't quite understand. It was just a chat between friends, how did it end up involving love?
"Chenxi, have you ever been in love?"
"No."
"When you talk to other boys, do your emotions fluctuate as much as when you chat with Mo Fan?"
Chenxi thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"When you are alone and think of Mo Fan, or when you talk about Mo Fan with others, do you laugh?"
Chenxi stopped talking. She was laughing when they talked about Mo Fan just now.
"Then you like him. My mother told me that if a boy can make you excited, and his every word and action will attract your attention. And even if he is not by your side, you will often think of him and laugh uncontrollably. That means you like him."
Chenxi was silent. Looking at Mo Fan in the sea not far away, he was learning swimming with Lan Kexin at this moment, and the two seemed to be very close. For some reason, Chenxi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Ellie did not interrupt. After all, anyone could tell that Chenxi was looking at Mo Fan if they followed his gaze.
