Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 643: You Don’t Even Dare to Admit You Like Someone
Bai Li’s lips twitched.
However, at the bottom of his heart, he did feel a bit resistant to those claims that he wasn’t good enough for Xiaoyan.
And then, there were the words Su Wan said...
Bai Li wasn’t emotionally naive; he understood Su Wan’s warning, but the fact was, Bai Li had lived for such a long time that human love, to him, was really just a trivial emotion.
Compared to love, Bai Li actually valued familial ties more because they were connected by blood, like Xiaoyan and her family members, whose relationships were very good. Although Bai Li sometimes felt a bit jealous, he also understood and accepted their closeness quite easily.
Friendship and love, on the other hand, were quite fragile.
In Bai Li’s long life, he had witnessed too many betrayals, and among them, betrayals in friendship and love, where the latter often brought much more severe pain!
Therefore, among these human emotions, Lord Insect God, who had lived for countless years, eventually came to a conclusion.
Love is the most useless and the most frightening...
And now, that very clever woman, Su Wan, warned him that if his feelings for Xiaoyan weren’t sincere, if he didn’t like Xiaoyan, then he should take advantage of the situation before it was too late and stay far away from her.
Bai Li half-closed his eyes, watching Ji Mu busy trying on clothes, a hint of confusion flickered through his usually calm eyes.

The number one cinema in the galaxy was situated at a prime location in the main city on Landis Star. The cinema’s owner was a savvy businessman; not only did he offer the highly technological 5D films, but he also developed 2D movie halls that replicated the style of Ancient Earth.
He even offered popcorn and cola among other beverages, making everything feel as if one was truly sitting in a cinema on Ancient Earth.
Thus, it also inspired some screenwriters and directors to start creating movies themed around Ancient Earth, and Moran was one of the most famous screenwriters in recent years.
Her works, as long as they were screened in cinemas, were definitely very popular and sold out.
The movie was about a time-traveling story where a girl from the Interstellar Era traveled to Ancient Earth and fell in love with a boy there.
Underneath this romantic love story, there was a conspiracy hidden, and the entire plot was full of ups and downs, warmth and romance, as well as cunning schemes—truly remarkable indeed.
Even though it was only in 2D, it was still very much loved and welcomed by the audience.
Gu Yan was attracted by the description of the movie content; she had also been to Ancient Earth, where she played in an amusement park and seemed to remember someone asking for her phone number there.
Gu Yan looked up and saw Bai Li looking at her, offering a slight smile.
Yes, this was a secret between her and Brother Little Mushroom.
"The popcorn is ready; let’s go in!" Ji Mu said happily, holding the popcorn and cola as he walked over, his communicator buzzing with several new friend requests.
There was no helping it; like his Insectoid true form, he was a magnet for attention.
And he was particularly well liked by the young maidens of the Mermaid Clan.
The four of them went to watch the movie together; Gu Yan and Vivian, originally preoccupied with their own thoughts, were soon captivated by the exciting storyline. By the time the movie ended, they were left wanting more.
Bai Li was as quiet as ever, not speaking much, while Ji Mu remained talkative, never running out of things to say.
Vivian, no longer wanting to hear his chatter, leaned closer to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan sincerely said, "Vivian, your aunt is really amazing! I’ve seen her movies before... It’s like she truly lived on Ancient Earth!"
Even Gu Yan herself had only been to Ancient Earth once, and she had taken a strong liking to that beautiful and mysterious place.
So she immediately felt curiosity and admiration for Vivian’s aunt.
Vivian: "Yeah, I don’t know how my little aunt came to know so many stories, but she likes to travel between various planets. She might have collected a lot of documents about Ancient Earth."
"That must be it, she’s really amazing!"
Gu Yan already had a strong love for Ancient Earth culture. Seeing that Vivian truly appreciated it, she said, "I have some signed books by my little aunt back home. I’ll bring them to you later."
"That would be great."
Because Gu Yan needed to use the restroom midway, she and Vivian went into the women’s restroom, while Bai Li and Ji Mu waited not far outside, in case they ran into any trouble.
After all, the issue of Beastmen’s frenzied transformations hadn’t been completely resolved.
Ji Mu looked curiously at Bai Li. "You’re quite silent today, aren’t you?"
Bai Li glanced at him indifferently.
With his arms crossed, Ji Mu said, "But you’ve always been quiet. Hey, speaking of which, if you really end up with Gu Yan, does that mean you’ll stay on Landis Star as a live-in son-in-law?"
Bai Li: "..."
Before he could respond, someone passed by with an unpleasant tone, "Thinking about marrying Gu Yan already, aren’t you being too fanciful?"
The speaker was none other than Lu Yu.
He had previously been quite reserved, planning to pursue Gu Yan in a gradual manner, but who could have expected Mu Feng to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
However, Lu Yu knew that Mu Feng was still entangled with his former fiancée Luo Xixi. Even though Mu Feng was somewhat related to Gu Yan’s family, Gu Yan wouldn’t consider Mu Feng.
All because of Mu Feng’s situation with Luo Xixi.
Lu Yu thought he had no strong rivals left, but who could have imagined another Insectoid would jump into the fray!
And this Insectoid, it seems, had used some method to rapidly become close with Gu Yan, and they even came to watch a movie together today!
Even though four people watched it together, the sight of them in the cinema still made Lu Yu very angry. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
At that moment, Lu Yu overheard the presumptuous talks about considering becoming a live-in son-in-law?
Who did he think he was!
Bai Li looked up at Lu Yu and immediately realized the special intentions of the man before him.
"You want to marry Gu Yan?"
Lu Yu, having his heart’s matter directly poked, felt a flicker of emotion, but his expression remained calm, "Don’t talk nonsense. Gu Yan is my junior, and I don’t want someone with ulterior motives like you getting close to her!"
Next to him, Ji Mu added fuel to the fire, "You’re even afraid to admit you like her, and you talk about being a senior? Pfft! I think you’re just jealous, and a coward at that!"
"You!"
But hearing that remark, Bai Li suddenly felt as if his heart had been stabbed.
You’re even afraid to admit you like her... afraid to admit...
Just then, a loud bang came from the women’s restroom, followed by many people running out in a panic.
Bai Li’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pushed through the crowd towards the restroom!
Xiaoyan was still in there!
