Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 34 - Aren’t You Embarrassed Acting Like This?

Chapter 34 : Aren’t You Embarrassed Acting Like This?

“…” Although they were all disciples of the same generation, Yu Hao and Yu Yu had been cultivating for over a hundred years. They weren’t exactly worldly, but they were certainly not ignorant of worldly matters. They had noticed Yu Ling’er’s contemptuous gaze towards Ye Xuan before. That look was more hostile than disdainful.

Yu Hao had even overheard Yu Ling’er calling Ye Xuan a worthless, spirit-rootless wastrel in a moment alone with him. It was hard to believe, but it seemed their kind-hearted junior sister had changed at some point into someone more narrow-minded than even their master, showing not just disdain but also hostility towards their junior brother.

But now, after just one trip outside, why had her attitude changed so dramatically? No longer cold, her gaze towards him was gentle and playful, and instead of calling him junior brother, she referred to him as brother? What was happening?

Yu Hao and Yu Yu were just contemplating how to comfort Ye Xuan so he wouldn’t feel too discouraged, but now they were faced with a completely different situation.

“Uh…” Ye Xuan himself was also somewhat astonished.

He hadn’t expected Yu Ling’er to be so brazen. Was she overcompensating for her initial embarrassment, now completely shameless? Regardless of his cold demeanor towards her, she continued to affectionately call him brother, almost clinging to him. How was he supposed to react to this?

It seemed like she wasn’t embarrassed, leaving him to feel awkward instead. Why was she being so intimate with him when he hadn’t even forgiven her?

Helplessly, Ye Xuan continued to keep a cold expression, trying to refuse her: “No need, I’d like to…”

“Oh, come on, don’t be so formal with me, Ye Xuan brother. Come with me—!!!” Yu Ling’er, thick-faced, dragged him away before he could decline. “You’ll love it—!!!”

“Let me go… let go, men and women shouldn’t be so casual, don’t you understand—!!!” Ye Xuan impatiently shook off her hand, showing his annoyance.

But Yu Ling’er, unabashed, moved closer again: “Hehe, Ye Xuan brother, are you shy? I’m not shy, why should you be?” She continued to giggle and look at Ye Xuan. Whenever he turned his gaze away, she would run to the other side and continue watching him.

“…” Yu Hao and Yu Yu stood stunned in place, watching the backs of the departing pair. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say. They just stood there, shocked, wondering if they had seen and heard everything wrong.

“What’s going on?” Both Yu Hao and Yu Yu were perplexed. They had prepared comforting words for Ye Xuan, but now the situation was completely different. Earlier, Yu Ling’er had shown nothing but cold indifference towards Ye Xuan, but after their return, she clung to him persistently, and Ye Xuan seemed unable to shake her off.

“What happened during their task outside?” Yu Hao asked Yu Yu, “How did she change so much after just one trip? She’s suddenly so clingy towards the junior brother…”

“This question is a bit difficult for me too,” Yu Yu replied, equally baffled. “What happened to the disdain we saw before? This is making things awkward!”

“…” Observing Yu Ling’er’s current behavior, it seemed like she couldn’t get close enough to Ye Xuan.

“Could it be that our junior sister fell for Ye Xuan during their outing?” Yu Hao speculated.

“Aha…” Yu Yu responded, “That seems impossible… She was cold to Ye Xuan this morning. How could she fall for him in less than a day?”

“It’s hard to guess what young girls are thinking these days,” Yu Hao mused.

“…”

Regardless of their astonishment, Yu Ling’er had already brought an unwilling Ye Xuan to the Qingyan Peak’s spiritual spring. Ye Xuan only pretended to be reluctant and impatient. He needed to maintain his persona and couldn’t show a favorable attitude towards Yu Ling’er.

But Yu Ling’er, shameless as she could be, didn’t seem to care about his cold demeanor. She remained naively charming, oblivious to Ye Xuan’s expressions.

Upon reaching Qingyan’s spiritual spring, Yu Ling’er explained, “Brother Ye Xuan, this is Qingyan’s spiritual spring. Our peak is named after the Qingyan. Although it’s icy and snowy on the peak, the spring area is warm, thanks to the underground hot springs. The water contains spiritual Qi, benefiting cultivation.”

“…” Ye Xuan feigned ignorance, though he was already familiar with everything on Qingyan Peak from the system’s storyline. The spiritual spring was indeed a great place, directly fed by an underground hot spring and full of spiritual Qi. Mount Taihua was a renowned blessed land for a reason. Even a smaller peak like Qingyan had its own spiritual vein.

“Alright, Brother Ye Xuan, why don’t you soak in it?” Yu Ling’er suggested after her explanation. “Your Daoist robe is water and fire resistant, so don’t worry about getting it wet.” She added playfully, “Of course, if you find it inconvenient to soak with clothes on… you can take them off. Don’t worry, I won’t peek!”

While saying this, she covered her eyes with her hands, leaving gaps between her fingers through which her big, adorable eyes blinked playfully.

“…” Ye Xuan didn’t know how to respond to her antics. Was she not embarrassed at all?!

Yu Ling’er: Embarrassed, so embarrassed!

In reality, Yu Ling’er was indeed feeling very awkward. Although she was nearly married in her previous life, she didn’t truly understand love. Now, looking at Ye Xuan, she finally grasped what it felt like to love someone.

Despite his disdainful and impatient looks, she felt sweet inside, especially knowing that deep down, he didn’t dislike her. It was just her previous actions that had chilled his heart. But as sweet as it was, the awkwardness was still there. She wondered if Ye Xuan would like her approach.
