Did Mingyi win today? Chapter 438
"How do you grow? That goes without saying."
Li Luochen gently massaged You Teng Shengdai's hand, his fingertips lightly brushing against her palm. "How about Master shows you a treasure later?"
"Wh...what treasure?"
Yuto Seidai's voice was a little tense, her gaze drifted for a moment, then drifted back.
Her mind was already racing with ideas.
A treasure? What treasure? What treasure is Master going to show me? Could it be...?
"Pokémon!" Li Luochen laughed loudly.
Yuto Seidai: ......
She froze for two seconds, then her face flushed red.
Pokémon, isn't that just Pokémon?!
The jumbled images that had been flashing through her mind, the wild speculations that had made her heart race—she had assumed they were all things that would happen tonight.
It turned out to be a Pokémon!
Hey! Master! Don't say things that could be misunderstood!
Yuto Seida shouted in her heart, but couldn't utter a single word.
She could only puff out her cheeks and glare at Li Luochen, feeling both angry and ashamed.
"Master, I'm angry!" Yuto Seida said coquettishly.
"How can I calm down?" Li Luochen asked cooperatively.
"Mmm... let me kiss you."
Yuto Seida stood up and sat sideways on Li Luochen's lap.
As she moved, her skirt slid up a bit, revealing more of her legs covered in white stockings. She didn't seem to care, and even adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable.
She understood.
Li Luochen does seem to have a thing for her. Although he doesn't say it, he took the initiative to put his arm around her waist when he went up to her, and he didn't push her away when she sat on his lap.
What does this tell us?
This means there's a chance.
But you have to eat slowly, one step at a time.
The book says that to completely win over your master, you have to start with a slow, ambiguous relationship.
We can't rush it, we can't panic. We have to let him get used to our presence little by little, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
Yuto Seida encouraged herself in her heart, placed her fingers on Li Luochen's shoulder, and looked at him affectionately.
"No problem, but only on the cheek." Li Luochen turned his face slightly, turning his left cheek toward You Teng Shengdai.
"Okay~" Yuto Seida nodded, but didn't immediately move closer.
She reached into her pocket, took out her phone, unlocked the screen, opened the camera, and then looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Master, may I take a picture to remember this moment?"
"Why are you filming this?" Li Luochen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Just to keep as a souvenir!" Yuto Seidai's voice softened, with a coquettish tone at the end.
"Alright, alright," Li Luochen sighed. "This can't be told to anyone."
"Okay!"
Yu Teng Shengdai's eyes lit up. She raised her phone, adjusted the angle, and pointed the camera at her and Li Luochen's faces.
She leaned slightly forward, her lips gently touching Li Luochen's cheek, and pressed the shutter the instant they made contact.
With a click, the image freezes.
After taking the photos and kissing her on the cheek, You Teng Shengdai stood up from Li Luochen's lap, took a half step back, and her skirt swayed gently with the movement.
She lowered her head, put her phone back in her pocket, her ears still flushed a faint pink, but her expression had returned to its dignified state.
What's this called?
This is called a balance of relaxation and tension!
She mentally gave herself a thumbs up.
Although she had just taken the initiative, she was still a very introverted little girl in front of her master.
That bold move just now was... just because the atmosphere was right.
Yes, the atmosphere was right, and she couldn't help herself; it's definitely not her true nature.
While trying to justify herself in her mind, she secretly glanced at Li Luochen—he was holding a teacup and drinking tea, looking perfectly normal, as if nothing had happened.
Yuto Seida breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt inexplicably disappointed. She tugged at her skirt and sat properly on the chair next to her.
Speaking of which, why was my master unmoved even though I kissed him?
Yuto Seidai sat in the chair, pondering the question over and over in her mind.
Surely it can't be that Master is averse to women?
When the thought popped into her head, even Yuto Seida herself found it absurd.
Meanwhile, at the Minrong Taoist Temple.
"Hmm..."
Mingyi stared at the game screen, her fingers pressing the controller. The character wobbled along the track, sometimes crashing into walls, sometimes falling into pits.
She suddenly frowned, and her movements slowed down.
"What's wrong, Mingyi?"
Cattleya glanced at her sideways, but her hands didn't stop; her character had already steadily crossed the finish line.
"It's nothing, it just feels weird."
Mingyi put down the handle and rubbed her chest.
I can't quite describe the feeling; it doesn't hurt or itch, but I just feel uncomfortable all over.
It felt like an invisible thread was gently tugging at the tip of my heart.
It's not heavy, but it's very clear.
She scratched her head, unsure how to explain it to Cattleya.
You can't just say, "I feel like someone is trying to steal my things," can you? That's too absurd.
Gadriya looked at her for two seconds, didn't ask any further questions, but simply took the controller from her and helped her get her character out of the pit: "Want to play another round?"
Mingyi nodded and picked up the controller again, but that strange feeling still lingered in her heart and wouldn't dissipate.
"Mingyi, there's something really important about this game."
Cattleya stared at the screen, her fingers dancing nimbly on the controller, her tone unhurried.
"Where?" Mingyi tilted her head.
"That means you have to compete and fight for it, so that you can get a higher ranking."
Cattleya's character drew a beautiful arc on the track, overtaking one car in front of her, and then another.
She paused, as if giving Mingyi time to process it, "Look, you're at the bottom right now, but if you take what others are originally going to take, it will be easy for you to move up the rankings."
Mingyi was stunned.
She looked at her character on the screen, still running crookedly, and then at Cattleya's calm profile. She felt that this sentence seemed to be referring to more than just the game.
"Sister Cattleya, please help!"
Mingyi turned around, clasped her hands together, and looked at Cattleya expectantly.
Gadriya put down the controller and glanced at Mingyi.
She reached out and gently patted Mingyi's head three times, with just the right amount of force.
"I can't give you the answer; you'll have to find it yourself. When your mind is clear, you'll understand."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the controller again and looked back at the screen, as if what she had just said was just a casual chat during a break in the game.
Mingyi sat there in a daze, the warmth of Gadria's palm still lingering on her head.
Clear-mindedness? What is clear-mindedness? How can she achieve clear-mindedness?
She wanted to ask, but seeing Gadriya's profile, which was already focused on the game, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
