Chapter 1121

Oh no, this suddenly messed up his plan.

"Xu Chen, let's be together."

Xu Chen was just about to say something when he heard Lin Qingruo's voice.

At this moment, Xu Chen was stunned.

Holy shit, this girl had been calling him a bad guy all along and was so shy.

And now she's suddenly confessing to him?

He was certain that Lin Qingruo had mustered tremendous courage to make this decision and say these words.

Otherwise, given Lin Qingruo's personality, she could never have said them.

As expected, the moment Lin Qingruo spoke, her face turned bright red and she lowered her head, unable to speak.

Her heart pounded wildly; she was deeply anxious, unsure whether Xu Chen would accept.

If Xu Chen refused, what should she do then?

She kept thinking about it, even not knowing what the consequences might be.

Her only thought was: 337, please say yes, say yes, I'm good, super good.

Please don't reject me, I'll cry, I really will cry.

The four girls beside her were stunned.

What's going on?

Qing Ruo just confessed to Xu Chen—this timid girl actually said something like that.

My god, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed she could do this.

Meanwhile, Xu Chen was calculating inside.

It seemed better if Lin Qingruo confessed first, and then he rejected her.

Yeah, this plan seemed even more perfect, didn't it?

If he rejected her now, the shock to Lin Qingruo would be immense.

Thinking this over, Xu Chen said: "Uh, Qing Ruo, we… don't really suit each other…"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingruo's eyes instantly filled with tears: "Why don't we suit each other?"

Xu Chen said:

"Actually, I'm from the Demon Sect; I'm here only to find the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

My contact with you was meant only to provoke you, to help you recover your memories—my intentions were vile.

I'm not a good person, and I don't want to deceive you.

Now I realize I was wrong; it's time for me to leave.

At least for now, I haven't hurt you, and I don't want to hurt you after this month of contact.

Can you understand?"

As soon as he spoke, Lin Qingruo burst into tears:

"No, I don't understand—I don't understand any of what you're saying.

I only know that over this past month, I've fallen in love with you.

If you leave, I'll be heartbroken, utterly heartbroken—that's exactly why I confessed to you, because I knew you were going to leave.

Do you know? Saying those words to you used up every ounce of courage I had—wahhh."

Xu Chen grimaced: Damn.

To be honest, when he devised this plan,

he never imagined Lin Qingruo would confess to him like this.

Now that she'd spoken her heart so boldly, he was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

But Xu Chen was still crystal clear about his goal.

He hadn't come here to chase girls—not even a little bit.

He'd come for the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

Now that he was just one second away from his goal, could he give up?

Of course not.

So Xu Chen took a deep breath and declared firmly:

"I'm sorry. You're not my type. We don't suit."

The moment he finished speaking, he saw Lin Qingruo shut her eyes and collapse unconscious to the ground.

Xu Chen: "…"

Holy shit, was the shock that big?

Better probe her memories right away.
