Chapter 538

Night fell, night fog arrived, and the evening breeze carried a hint of chill. Under the hazy moonlight, not many stars could be seen.

Su Quan leaned against the window, and Esme sat on the edge of the bed facing him. The breeze that passed Su Quan came in through the window, blowing her golden hair.

Esme wrung her hands and said somewhat apologetically: "Won't this make them misunderstand? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that there are some things that are hard to say in front of them, for fear that they will misunderstand."

If you're afraid of misunderstanding when you say it in front of them, and you're also afraid of misunderstanding when you say it in private, then just don't say it.

Su Quan complained secretly, but on the surface, he said like a spring breeze: "It's okay, we're just chatting. They won't misunderstand, and... there's nothing to misunderstand."

Esme thought to herself, if there's nothing to misunderstand, why did you pause?

Feeling guilty?

If you feel guilty, it means you associated it with the business of a man and a woman alone, which means you have ideas about me!

Heh, men.

Esme said pitifully: "Let me state first, I don't mean to sow discord between you, but... the underground organization is a key target for the Sentinel Services. You aren't afraid of the Sentinel Services, but that doesn't mean others aren't, especially those people below."

"Before, there was no way, they could only stay here and accept your protection, because if they left here, they would be hunted by the Sentinel Services, living in insecurity and fear all day long."

"But with immunity, they don't have to worry about being hunted and can live in the sun with peace of mind. This is an irresistible temptation for all mutants."

If Su Quan weren't in the underground organization, Esme's analysis would likely become reality, because human nature is selfish and people's hearts are changeable. Even if you don't have this intention, you will worry that others have this intention.

In the end, "save your own skin."

Now, the members of the underground organization basically know about the Mirror Dimension. With safety guaranteed, human nature will have a bottom line. Moreover, unless Su Quan crashes, no one dares to betray the organization.

After all, even with immunity, it can't exempt them from Su Quan's revenge.

Su Quan looked at Esme and asked with some disappointment: "Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"You... do you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Esme explained: "I just joined the organization, and saying it directly might make them embarrassed or have opinions about me, so I can only talk to you alone. After all, I only trust you."

As she spoke, Esme looked like she had summoned her courage.

"Although it's a bit abrupt, and you might not believe it, but when I came out of the church's storage room, I saw you at a glance. Actually, with my ability, I wasn't sure what was wrong with Chloe at the time, I just... I just wanted to strike up a conversation with you."

"I've heard a poem."

"In this bustling world, there are three things I love most: the sun, the moon, and you. I love the sun in the daytime, the moon in the evening, and you every moment."

What's the situation?

Is this a "confession"?

We haven't known each other for even a day, the progress is a bit fast. Is this the "love at first sight" routine?

Esme didn't want to be this fast, but she had no choice. The club should already know about the immunity. If she doesn't have any progress to show for it, it will be hard to make the club give up the idea of sacrificing her.

Although it's a bit early to "confess" to Su Quan, the "love at first sight" statement should hold water, and he should have ideas about her too. If she confesses actively, he will definitely be hooked and won't think too much.

After all, no man would think about how the other person fell in love with him when being actively confessed to by a woman.

Especially since this man is also very powerful, he will feel even more that it's a matter of course, thinking that his charm must be too great.

Honestly, Esme also feels that Su Quan is very charming.

Whether it's his external appearance or his internal strength, it fits her criteria for a partner very well.

Although she is dedicated to her career and has never considered romantic relationships or thought about finding a partner.

But...

If Su Quan is willing to join the club, she doesn't mind making it real and truly becoming his woman.

While Esme's thoughts were wandering, Su Quan spoke.

"In the three thousand worlds of the floating life, I have three loves."

"The sun, the moon, and you."

"The sun for the morning, the moon for the evening, and you for morning and evening."

Esme was stunned. This seems to be the poem I just recited. He changed it like this, and it sounds a bit strange, and it also has a kind of indescribable flavor.

Su Quan curled his lips into a smile. Playing with love poems, huh? Who doesn't know how? I'm the best at this kind of awkward stuff. Listen to me.

"People say."

"When the forest is deep, you see a deer; when the sea is blue, you see a whale; when you wake from a dream, you see you."

"But in reality."

"When the forest is deep, the fog rises; when the sea is blue, the waves surge; when you wake from a dream, you haven't seen the deer, haven't seen the whale, and haven't seen you."

"However."

"The deer steps through the fog, the whale follows the waves. If you didn't look back, how would you know I hadn't been there?"

Hmm, I think I understand. If I don't take the initiative to confess, I won't know that you like me too.

So this counts as a response to my confession just now?

It's just why is there inexplicably a feeling that you have had a crush on me for a long time, and then I disappointed you deeply?

Esme blinked and asked with a curious smile: "This is my first time expressing my feelings to a man. I... what should I say now?"

Su Quan curled his lips into a smile: "You can say: May there be years to look back on, and may we grow old together with deep affection."

Esme smiled and asked back: "What about you? What do you want to say to me?"

"I want to sleep. Two are missing one, are you coming?"

"..."

Esme asked: "Change another one."

"That's fine too."

Su Quan shrugged, turned off the lights in the room, and then waved his hand to manifest a glowing street lamp.

"You, what are you doing?" Esme looked surprised and confused.

Su Quan gestured, took her in his arms, stood under the street lamp, and then pointed to the shadows on the ground: "There are two shadows under the street lamp. One is mine, and the other is also mine."

Esme looked at the two shadows close together under the street lamp and felt speechless for the first time.

I thought my confession and poem were enough, but I didn't expect you to be even better at playing.

This is meeting a talented person, a chess match between opponents.

Wait...

My confession is fake; you shouldn't be too, right?

Esme took a peek; there was only sincerity and heat in Su Quan's eyes.

Alright, I thought too much. He might just be purely... towards me.

Unlike me, I have other purposes!

Esme thought this way and curiously reached out to touch the street lamp. The touch was very real.

Is this a real street lamp?

Did he teleport it back from outside?

And...

Where does this electricity come from?
