Chapter 265: Chapter 209: Habit Becomes Second Nature (Part One Addition)_1

"Jing Chen." At this moment, Mu Lin suddenly spoke again, a seriousness in her voice, "Perhaps, I may not be able to fulfill my promise with you for now."

The hands that were still gently brushing Mu Lin’s hair suddenly paused, "Why?" Jing Chen’s voice was flat, not expressing a question, but more like a statement.

"I want to visit Ming City first." Mu Lin said, without hiding anything, "I might find what I want to know there." At the very least, she was certain she could get some news.

"Ming City." Jing Chen murmured, as if contemplating something, " Is it related to your Master?" was the only thing he could think of.

"It’s not just about my master." Mu Lin gave a faint smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes, all that was there was a sudden cold, "Perhaps, it also has to do with myself." Perhaps, it has to do with her master’s past or even her own past, everything might somehow be connected.

In this world, Mu Lin could not figure out why, if people had no grievances or grudges against her, they would repeatedly try to kill her, even killing her master, and not restraining themselves even when it came to her. If it were not for her excellent evasion skills and her lethal potential, she would’ve already run into danger, or perhaps, would have been dead.

Could it be because of her master, or could it be because of her?

All of this, to Mu Lin, were complex, insoluble mysteries.

She has never wanted to look for her origins before, but this time, Mu Lin felt she didn’t have a choice anymore.

"I’ll go with you." While still tending to Mu Lin’s hair, Jing Chen simply pronounced these words. However, they surprised her.

"Why would you come with me?" Asked Mu Lin, utterly puzzled, when did she ever need someone to accompany her?

"I’m afraid you will leave and never come back." If his wife ran away, he’d be the one at a loss.

Mu Lin disagreed, "You’re overthinking it." She followed her feelings most of the time, but still, she knew about reliability, "Rest assured. Whether or not I can find the clues I want in Ming City this time, I’ll be back here in three months." Three months should be enough, she thought.

Pausing for a moment, Mu Lin continued, "If you ever need my help, feel free to summons me back at any time." This was her promise.

At Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen somehow wanted to sigh.

Really, what was he supposed to say? Why did she always manage to interpret his words, whether they were explicit or implicit, in some other way? When would he be able to truly express his feelings?

Whatever, he wouldn’t obsess over this anymore.

...

That night, the moonlight poured, casting a gentle glow on the young girl’s beautiful face. By her bedside, there sat a man, watching her attentively.

Sighing inwardly, he always felt that a place alone couldn’t keep her; unless, he could capture her heart. But... thinking of her obliviousness, Jing Chen was left feeling helpless.

Suddenly alert, upon clearly seeing the man’s face, Mu Lin frowned without hesitation, "Jing Chen? Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Could he have some troubles recently?

Without speaking, Jing Chen suddenly jumped onto the bed, opened the covers, slid in, yanked her with a strong arm and pulled her into his embrace.

Mu Lin, without hesitation, tried to resist, but the next moment, her hands and feet were all restrained, caught in Jing Chen’s arms, unable to move.

"Don’t move." Jing Chen suddenly spoke, "Just let me hold you for a moment."

After a day of training, he was initially resting in his own dormitory, but for some reason, he couldn’t fall asleep. He thought he would be closer to Mu Lin in a few days, and maybe they could deepen their relationship. However, this sudden change led him here in the middle of the night.

Perhaps, only by holding Mu Lin could he feel at ease.

He never knew he could be so insecure one day.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin suddenly stopped moving; Or rather, she was simply unable to move at the moment and didn’t feel like struggling anymore.

Holding Mu Lin, his chin gently resting on her head, he spoke with a deep voice, coming softly beside her ear, "When are you leaving?"
