He gazed at the black-haired girl, trying hard to maintain the sincere and earnest look from earlier: "The matter your father brought up just now, I... I also didn't expect it, it was a bit abrupt, so instinctively I felt it was a heavy responsibility, not knowing if I could bear it, I didn't really intend to shirk it..."

So that's it...

Was it because it was too sudden at the time, so he said things like "I can't" and "I can't do it", now realizing he said the wrong thing, worried she'd misunderstand him, so he's eager to explain?

Miss Saito's eyes were bright, she thought this was probably the case, but if it was, then she might feel a bit embarrassed instead. Although he was the one who mistook her first, her mischievous pleasure seemed to be part of the reason... Such words should be said to her sister, it felt strange saying it to herself.

Her expression unknowingly became subtle, her gaze started to dodge, but it wasn't the acting from earlier, it was genuinely feeling a bit guilty.

Also, influenced by the mindset of this era, as an unmarried girl, she felt a little unable to listen to such words.

"Do you know? In the past, I've never thought I'd truly meet you in my lifetime, because you seemed like someone from my unreal imagination..."

Gu Mo opened his eyes, seriously spewing some half-true, half-false nonsense, observing her change of expression, decisively turning up the intensity.

What he was thinking about was the intersection of past game impressions and the current real time and space, and so were his words. Indeed, he never expected his beloved character to become real, and that one day he'd encounter his past fantasy.

It was what he thought, what he said, but only he knew this, to the listener it was not quite the same, he deliberately blurred it.

Especially in this ultimately conservative and feudal era, the slender shoulders of the black-haired girl across from him slightly trembled, her earlobes gradually reddened. She suddenly realized her spontaneous mischievousness seemed to have backfired on her...

Those words... those words...

How could he say such words so naturally! This, this this this... what kind of propriety is this!

"Now, what I want to tell you is this, you are truly a very special existence to me..." that person was still seriously gazing at her, and the words spoken were increasingly straightforward.

Can't take it!

A cry of anguish rose within her heart, biting her lower lip tightly, her face turned even redder, the girl finally couldn't bear such torment and shock any longer, like a startled rabbit, she turned her head and dashed out the door, just remembering the role she was playing, she didn't utter a word throughout.

Only the rapid footsteps quickly faded, disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Gu Mo's voice abruptly stopped, if you were to just listen to the sound, it seemed like a failed confession sort of deadly silence, the girl even directly ran away, the atmosphere was awkwardly frozen...

But in reality, it was not so, instead, he blinked, watching the wide-open door, visibly let out a long sigh of relief, a relaxed smile slowly appeared on his face.

Trying to act with me?

Humph, not sure who's acting on whom, the little girl is still too green... but I was also careless, almost overturned in a ditch, fortunately, I have the upper hand in the end.

He took a slight breath, adjusted his facial expression, left the room, and turned back along the route he came from... indeed, he was going to continue with his previous plan.

After his footsteps faded away, after a while, the door of a certain room on the other side was also gently opened.

...

"Strange... where on earth did she go..."

After wandering in circles, unable to find the person in question, Gu Mo frowned, she was just here, how could she disappear so completely in the blink of an eye? And would she really be so indifferent, knowing he wanted to talk to her about something, didn't she intend to come over and ask a bit?

Thinking about it, he headed straight in the direction of the dojo, many times before, Ah Xiu would run there to practice her skills, it was the same every day, and perhaps she had gone early today as well...

However, much to his disappointment, there were only two elder masters in the courtyard of the dojo, no sign of the girl.

"By the way, Lord Mo, come to think of it, it's about time..."

Just as he was about to leave, Qingming stopped him—"There is something that should be given to you now."
