Chapter 162: Let Me Be Selfish For Once

Knock, knock, knock.

Early the next morning, Zhu Lin was woken up by a knock on the door. Xiu Wu stood outside the door and waited for a while, but did not hear any movement in the bedroom. He knocked on the door again and said, "Xiao Lin, are you awake?"

Hearing Xiu Wu’s voice calling her from the outside, Zhu Lin hummed softly and opened her eyes. She rubbed her sore neck, then stood up from the floor and went to open the door.

Xiu Wu looked at her slightly messy hair and said with a smile, "You just woke up? Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhu Lin rubbed her neck a few times, and then circulated the spiritual energy throughout her body. After a few seconds, the pain in her body disappeared. She nodded and said, "Good morning. Do you need anything?"

Hearing her question, Xiu Wu raised his eyebrows. He stared at her for a while and asked, "Xiao Lin, did I do something to make you angry at me?"

Hearing his question, Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "No. Why do you think I’m angry with you?"

Looking at her calm but distant expression, Xiu Wu frowned slightly and said, "I don’t know what I did wrong, but you have been very cold to me since last night. I know I’m very clumsy when it comes to relationships. But if I do something you dislike or make you angry, please tell me directly."

After he said that, Zhu Lin frowned slightly and thought to herself: ’Have I really been cold to him since last night?’

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Xiu Wu fell silent for a while before asking, "Do you want to have breakfast together?"

Hearing his question, Zhu Lin nodded. After getting her answer, he said calmly: "Let’s go. Ji Yang and Tan Wei are already waiting for us."

Seeing Xiu Wu turn around and walk away, Zhu Lin subconsciously reached out and held his hand. As she saw him walking away just now, her last memory about the Devil God suddenly came to her mind. She didn’t stop him then, and that was the last time she saw him.

Xiu Wu stopped when she suddenly held his hand. He turned to look at her and asked in confusion: "What’s wrong?"

Zhu Lin glanced down at their hands for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Xiu Wu and said, "I didn’t mean to treat you coldly. I... I just have some things to consider. If I hurt your feelings, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean it."

Listening to her awkward apology, Xiu Wu fell into silence. After a long while, he patted her head gently and said, "I understand. Thank you for letting me know."

Seeing his gentle smile, Zhu Lin suddenly felt that it was stupid for her to worry about the uncertain future. Because she could live forever, she never cherishes the present and always makes plans for the future of the Six Realms. But at this moment, she wants to cherish herself and the man in front of her.

Apart from her elder brother, the Devil God is the only one who loves her as herself. She is very lucky to be loved by him. Even if Xiu Wu would become the Devil God again after he died in this small world, Zhu Lin decided to live for herself for once.

She liked the Devil God, and Xiu Wu is him. She didn’t want to deceive herself anymore. Since she couldn’t be with him as her real self in the Six Realms, she wanted to spend one lifetime with him in this world.

After the two of them return to the Six Realms, she will pull out all of her memory and seal it forever. She just hopes that when the time comes, she won’t hesitate.

Zhu Lin closed her eyes and said in her heart: ’Just this time. Let me be selfish for once.’

After making her decision, Zhu Lin took a step forward. She grabbed Xiu Wu’s clothes, pulled him down, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips gently. The next second, she took a step back, blushing and said, "I’m hungry."

Leaving Xiu Wu standing blankly in front of the bedroom door, Zhu Lin ran downstairs. After a few seconds, Xiu Wu touched his lips and a smile appeared on his face. He turned to look downstairs and saw Zhu Lin running towards the dining room while patting her blushing face. He smiled and walked down the stairs in a good mood.

Entering the dining room, Xiu Wu saw Zhu Lin lowering her head and did not dare to look at him. He chuckled and sat down next to her.

Tan Wei saw that the two of them were behaving strangely and asked, "Lao Xiu, what did you do to Xiao Lin?"

Hearing his question, Xiu Wu looked at Tan Wei and asked, "What do you mean? What do you think I did to Xiao Lin?"

Tan Wei pointed at Zhu Lin, who was looking around except looking at Xiu Wu, and said, "Xiao Lin hasn’t looked at you even once since you came in. Tell me, are you bullying her behind our back?"

"....." Hearing Tan Wei’s accusation, Xiu Wu was speechless.

He knocked on the table lightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, I think you should explain to them that I am the one who is being bullied, not you."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Wei opened his eyes in surprise, but Ji Yang only laughed. Tan Wei pointed at Xiu Wu with his chopsticks and asked curiously: "You... you... Xiao Lin really bullied you?"

Xiu Wu nodded to Tan Wei, then looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Xiao Lin, if you don’t want to explain, then I will explain to them for you."

While Zhu Lin was still guessing what he wanted to say, she heard Xiu Wu say calmly: "Just now at the door of her bedroom, Xiao Lin kis— Mph!"
