The immature youth whispered that he missed her. Ningzhi blushed and her heart softened.

Damn it.

Lu Jue was so cute that it was against the rules.

It wasn't his fault, it was her fault!

She was wrong. She shouldn't have questioned him so fiercely. She shouldn't have looked at him so coldly.

Meeting his obedient gaze, Ningzhi felt that she had committed a grave sin.

But when she thought about how Lu Jue put himself in danger and how he didn't realize how serious the problem was, Ningzhi felt that it was necessary to teach him well.

"Every time I come to see you, I have to work hard and expend a lot of energy in exchange for the chance to see you." Ningzhi coaxed him.

She wasn't lying. After all, she did need to work hard to earn the little suns on Da Jue and then expend the little suns to save him.

Ningzhi continued, "If you put yourself in danger every time and deliberately find people to bully you in exchange for the chance to see me, I will have to work non-stop and expend a lot of energy. I might die of exhaustion."

The speed at which she earned the little suns couldn't compare to the speed at which she expended the little suns.

This time, she needed to expend 200 little suns. She guessed that if there was a new time next time, she might need to expend 300 little suns.

Did he want her to kiss Da Jue's swollen mouth?

Lu Jue looked at her in a daze. He didn't understand her words, but the last thing he heard was that Da Jue would die of exhaustion.

His tone was a bit anxious. "Won't die, won't die of exhaustion."

Ningzhi educated him seriously. "If you don't want me to die of exhaustion, you can't deliberately let yourself be bullied or put yourself in danger. Otherwise, I will have to expend a lot of energy to appear."

Lu Jue lowered his head, pursed his lips, and squeezed out a sound from his throat. "En."

He didn't want Da Jue to die.

Seeing the youth's disappointment, Ningzhi said, "Also, if you get hurt, I will be sad, I will be sad."

She held Lu Jue's hand. "I don't want our meeting to be at the cost of hurting you. If that's the case, I'd rather not meet you."

Hearing that Ningzhi was not coming to see him, Lu Jue was really anxious.

The light in his beautiful peach blossom eyes dimmed as he panicked. "Yes, she wants to see me."

Ningzhi looked at him and said, "Then promise me that you won't do things like purposely getting bullied and getting yourself into trouble."

Lu Jue nodded vigorously. His low and hoarse voice was filled with seriousness. "Don't do me."

Ningzhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his promise.

She looked at the calendar on the table. Lu Jue was still in his second year of high school. She remembered that Overlord had said that she was supposed to be in his third year of high school.

In other words, the next time she would meet Lu Jue in his third year of high school.

Ningzhi gave him some sweetness. "The next time we meet, we can meet in our third year of high school."

Lu Jue raised his head to look at her.

"There's still half a year. Can you wait for me?" Ningzhi asked him.

Lu Jue's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. He replied obediently, "I'll wait for Da Jue."

Ningzhi said half-coaxingly and half-seriously, "You're still young. When you grow up and still like me, we'll be together."

Lu Jue's dark eyes looked at Ningzhi quietly. There was a glimmer in his eyes. He didn't know why he had to wait for him to grow up. He felt that he had already grown up.

He liked Da Jue now.

He wanted to be with Da Jue now.
