Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 703 He Doesn’t Care That Much About Me
Ji Mu turned his head to look at Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, I really have something important to tell you. Please tell your senior, I didn’t bully you."
He wouldn’t dare to bully Gu Yan.
If Lord Insect God found out, he would definitely be thrown into a wormhole in an instant.
Meanwhile, Gu Yan was worried that Bai Li would be too impulsive and was eager to know what message Bai Li had sent through Ji Mu, so she raised her head and said to Mu Feng, "Senior, you’ve misunderstood, Ji Mu hasn’t been bullying me."
Mu Feng frowned, "Gu Yan, you don’t need to be afraid, I can really help you."
Gu Yan: "Thank you, senior. My brother is also here in the school, and so is my grandfather. If I really have any trouble, I will turn to them for help."
Gu Yan’s brother was Gu Yu, and her grandfather was none other than Principal Gu Lei.
Mu Feng pursed his lips, his eyes slightly dim, and nodded, "All right, then."
Ji Mu watched as Mu Feng led his group away, then glared at their retreating figures before whispering to Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, this Mu Feng has bad intentions. Stay away from him in the future."
Gu Yan’s mouth twitched, "You said the same about Senior Lu last time, but neither of them ever did anything inappropriate."
Previously, Mu Feng said some misleading things at the dance, especially then, which caused Luo Xixi to misunderstand, but afterwards, every time at school it was merely a greeting, without further conversations.
Ji Mu sneered, "These men are the best at pretending. They’re afraid of earning your dislike, so they pretend to be decent, but in reality, they’re dark of heart, full of indecent thoughts, itching to spend the Manic-Depressive Period with you every minute!"
Gu Yan: "..."
Realizing he might have spoken too much, Ji Mu coughed twice and then took Gu Yan to a less crowded place, speaking with apparent concern, "Gu Yan, why did you delete Bai Li’s contact number?"
Gu Yan’s eyes were downcast, "He told you if I don’t add his number back, he’s going to force his way into my home?"
"Yes! You know his identity... If he really did break in and clashed with your parents, it could escalate into a conflict between two planets!"
"It won’t happen," Gu Yan shook her head, "He doesn’t care about me that much."
Ji Mu’s wings flapped anxiously, "We’ve followed Lord Insect God for so many years, he’s never cared about any woman like this. Think about it, he’s been accompanying you since you were little, and even if he’s very busy, he still comes to be with you. Even this time, he assumed a transfer student’s identity just to be with you... Isn’t that care?"
Gu Yan bit her lip gently, "Maybe it’s care, but it’s not the care I want. Better not to have it at all."
Ji Mu, who fluttered among the flowers and had countless girlfriends, saw Gu Yan’s sour smile, and in a sudden epiphany!
"You, you’ve fallen for Lord Insect God? And you think, Lord Insect God doesn’t like you?"
"Does he like me?"
This time, Ji Mu was silent.
He genuinely didn’t know the depth of Lord Insect God’s feelings for Gu Yan.
There was definite care.
But whether it was love, that was uncertain. And furthermore, could Lord Insect God truly love someone?
After saying all this, Gu Yan turned and walked away, leaving Ji Mu too embarrassed to chase after her, asking her to re-add Bai Li’s account as a friend.
His eyes followed the direction Gu Yan had left in longingly.
If their Lord Insect God, clearly not loving Gu Yan, kept provoking her again and again, and had previously treated her so well, inducing misunderstandings...
This is... scum Insectoid!
"I don’t even dare to be a scum Insectoid!"
Ji Mu sighed, glanced at the light brain, struggled for a long time, and finally decided to send an ambiguous message to Lord Insect God.
Ji Mu: Lord Insect God, if you’re not going to marry, don’t lead her on.
After receiving this message, Bai Li’s eyebrows slowly furrowed, and Xi Le, who was beside him reporting on work, also just happened to see this sentence on the unshielded virtual screen.
His mouth twitched.
Great, before he had held Ji Mu in high regard, hoping that he could learn something useful on Landis Star and could be properly cultivated later on.
Now it seemed that the kid might not live to return to the Insectoid Planet.
And Bai Li did not give Ji Mu the chance to return to the Insectoid Planet just yet. He did not even send a message through the light brain but directly connected to Ji Mu’s brain.
"What do you mean by ’if you’re not going to marry, don’t lead her on’?"
The sudden appearance of the voice in his brain startled Ji Mu, but recalling the sorrow in Gu Yan’s eyes and the pressure from Lord Insect God’s powerful spiritual power, Ji Mu clenched his teeth and said, "Lord Insect God, don’t you know that Gu Yan likes you? She thinks you’ve never responded to her feelings and don’t like her, so she believes it’s better for the two of them to keep their distance."
"Although... although you are my Lord Insect God and I’m completely loyal to you, Gu Yan really is a nice girl. If you don’t have affectionate feelings for her, then it’s better to maintain a certain distance."
After saying all this, Ji Mu’s back was covered in cold sweat, sticking his uniform to it.
In Bai Li’s cold eyes, a deep flash passed by.
Liking?
No, he liked Xiaoyan.
From the beginning, even when she was just an infant, he liked being by her side very much.
Initially, Bai Li thought it was because she was a Plantman, but after he had met many other Plantmen, not one gave him that feeling of wanting to be close.
Bai Li severed the brain connection with Ji Mu.
He sat there quietly, not saying a word.
Ji Mu, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for a while, since Lord Insect God did not summon him again, he quickly returned to the dormitory to take a hot shower.
Xi Le, standing next to Bai Li, did not dare even to breathe heavily.
Lord Insect God’s current state was indeed too eerie. He sort of regretted coming to report so soon and should have waited longer!
Just as Xi Le was thinking left and right, preparing to find an excuse to leave, he heard the Lord Insect God, who had been silent for a long time, slowly start talking.
"Xi Le, are liking and love different?"
Xi Le was a bit nervous but immediately answered, "Among us Insectoids, there isn’t much difference between the two; sometimes they are even interchangeable. Once one likes someone, they can reproduce together. But for the people on Landis Star, they might still be influenced by Ancient Earth culture. I’ve researched this—the degree of love is much higher than liking."
"How should I put it, you can like family, like friends. But when it comes to love, it is only towards a partner."
"Oh right, the rulers of Landis Star, the Gu Family, especially the Gu Family men, their greatest virtue is how much they adore their wives. To them, wives are the most important, more important than anyone else, even more important than their own lives."
