About the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Xiao Mo finally returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing hurried forward. \"Brother Xiao, what’s wrong with Sister? Did something happen between you two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erm...\" Xiao Mo thought for a moment. \"Something did happen between your sister and me, but it’s nothing serious. Ruxue is fine, you don’t need to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since Brother Xiao said so, Sister must be fine.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get some rest. I’m heading back to my room,\" Xiao Mo said to Xiao Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing nodded. \"You get some rest too, Brother Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I said it. I really said it...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue lay on her bed, ankles straight and her slender calves kicking restlessly against the mattress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed a pillow tightly over her head, leaving only her peach blossom eyes peeking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve realized... I think I’m starting to like you...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling what she had just said to Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue was overcome with shyness all over again, her fair, slender calves kicking against the quilt even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the shyness in her heart slowly faded, and Bai Ruxue gradually calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait... why was I so shy? And why did I run away on the mountain?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had calmed down a bit, Bai Ruxue realized she might have done the wrong thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Back then, after I said those words, I was so mortified that all I could think about was running down the mountain as fast as possible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But really, there was no need to be shy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I like him, I like him. If I don’t, I don’t.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And I just happen to like Xiao Mo...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I only said what I felt in my heart, that’s all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I didn’t even wait for Xiao Mo’s reply before running straight down the mountain.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Seriously, why did I have to run...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue buried her head in her pillow again, feeling vexed with herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stewing in her vexation for a while, Bai Ruxue rolled over to lie on her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the ceiling, hugging the pillow, her mind a whirl of thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does Xiao Mo like me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He probably likes me, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Last time, he said that once I understood what real love is, he would marry me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This should be real love, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So will he marry me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does what he said back then still count?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more anxious Bai Ruxue became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to go find Xiao Mo, but she didn’t dare ask him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, she was eager for his answer, yet terrified of it at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is so frustrating, so frustrating, so frustrating...\" Bai Ruxue rolled back and forth on the bed like a rolling pin. ’I wasn’t like this before...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiao Qing entered the room, she found her sister rolling around on the bed nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue hugged her pillow and sat up on the bed like a little duck, her peach blossom eyes darting about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like I’m not myself anymore... What am I going to do...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his room, Xiao Mo was reading a book by candlelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Xiao Mo had to rely on moonlight to read at night. If the moon wasn’t bright, he had no way to do any night reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after becoming a Provincial Scholar, Xiao Mo no longer needed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even if Ruxue didn’t raise silkworms or catch pheasants and rabbits, Xiao Mo wouldn’t be short on silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ruxue continued to raise her silkworms and would still occasionally catch pheasants and rabbits to sell, figuring that every extra bit of money helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Mo set down his book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that he couldn’t focus on reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was completely filled with the image of Ruxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo truly hadn’t expected Ruxue to say something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ruxue had said, \"I like you,\" before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Mo knew this time was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruxue’s feelings for him were those of genuine romantic love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been stunned for a moment, and before he could even reply, Ruxue had run away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That girl...\" Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, gently blowing out the candle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to town tomorrow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Can’t let her wait too long.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Xiao Mo woke up and walked into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue had been wiping down a table, but upon seeing Xiao Mo, she scurried into the kitchen like a startled little bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During breakfast, Bai Ruxue didn’t say a single word, nor did she dare to look at Xiao Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Xiao Mo got even slightly closer to her, she would blush and quickly move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing sensed that something had definitely happened between her sister and Brother Xiao. The atmosphere between the two of them was strange in an indescribable way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! I can’t go on like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, Bai Ruxue patted her own cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt she couldn’t keep avoiding Xiao Mo. Besides, she desperately wanted to know his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that she was too embarrassed to ask him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, that afternoon, Bai Ruxue gathered her courage and started sweeping the courtyard, deliberately getting closer to Xiao Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Mo acted as if nothing was amiss, as if yesterday had never happened. He just kept his eyes on the book in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how calm Xiao Mo looked, Bai Ruxue puffed out her rosy cheeks, feeling a little indignant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue continued to pace back and forth near Xiao Mo, trying to attract his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Mo still showed no reaction. It even made Bai Ruxue wonder if he had lost his memory of last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stupid Xiao Mo, stupid Xiao Mo! I said something like that to you last night, and today you’re acting like nothing happened. I know I was the one who ran off, but you could still give me an answer now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stupid Xiao Mo! You promised you’d marry me, and now you won’t say a thing! You jerk! You big jerk! I’m never speaking to you again! You giant jerk!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her room, Bai Ruxue clamped a pillow between her shapely legs and raised her delicate fists, punching it again and again as if it were Xiao Mo’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister... are you alright?\" Xiao Qing walked in to see her sister taking it out on a pillow. It looked like she was about to beat the stuffing out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine!\" Bai Ruxue retorted, pouting huffily as her chest heaved. \"Is that stupid Xiao Mo still reading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Xiao Qing shook her head. \"Brother Xiao went out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? He went out?\" Bai Ruxue blinked. \"Where did that stupid Xiao Mo go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To Qingshan Town,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiao said he was going to have something made. He told you not to worry, Sister, and that he’ll be back in a couple of days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-02T09:37:02.355Z",1,"novelbin.me","e39f93e3e4e7eddd2975740714746db844baddfdcadda2ba185580a199837fa5","beauties-in-simulation-cross-over-into-reality-chapter-50","beauties-in-simulation-cross-over-into-reality-chapter-48",355,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeauties-in-simulation-cross-over-into-reality-cover.jpg"]
