Yun Zhonghe arrived abruptly and without any explanation, he handed Bingxin Grass to Lin Zhongyu.
Lin Zhongyu’s small mind was filled with great doubts.
However, looking down at the Bingxin Grass in her palm, even though it was covered by an ice cover, she could still sense the abundant ice spirit energy inside.
The Bingxin Grass faintly emitted a glow, and it was evident at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.
“Yun brother, what is this?”
Lin Zhongyu asked curiously.
Yun Zhonghe replied, “Bingxin Grass, a third-grade spiritual herb.”
“Th-th-third grade?!”
Lin Zhongyu’s head buzzed.
It was well-known that the large Lin family didn’t even have a single third-grade treasure, yet Yun Zhonghe casually handed out a third-grade item.
This was too much for Lin Zhongyu’s young heart to bear.
“Yun brother, this is absolutely unacceptable. I’ve already taken so much from you. I absolutely cannot accept something so precious.”
Lin Zhongyu firmly refused and tried to return the Bingxin Grass to Yun Zhonghe.
She had previously reluctantly accepted five top-grade Peiyuan Pills and the “Eight Desolations Sword Technique” from Yun Zhonghe.
She already felt that she could never repay his kindness.
Now, if she accepted this third-grade spiritual herb, she would be utterly in his debt.
Even if she sold herself to Yun Zhonghe, she wouldn’t be able to repay him.
However, Yun Zhonghe refused to take it back.
As the young master of the Yun family, it would be too undignified to take back something he had given away.
He crossed his arms over his chest, his handsome face expressionless, and said, “If you don’t want it, just throw it away.”
“Ah?”
Lin Zhongyu’s mind couldn’t keep up with Yun Zhonghe’s domineering style.
But this kind of domineering behavior was not irritating.
No girl could resist such unreasonableness.
In fact, Yun Zhonghe didn’t know what to say to make Lin Zhongyu accept it with a clear conscience.
He couldn’t tell her, “I want to increase the favorability of your childhood friend.”
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Since he didn’t know what to say, he might as well say less and simply force her to accept it with a commanding tone.
Yun Zhonghe believed that, for his sake, Lin Zhongyu would comply with such a reasonable command.
After all, in the original game, Lin Zhongyu was the type of person who was easy to persuade.
But after thinking it over, Yun Zhonghe added, “This item is specifically for cultivators with ice spiritual roots. It’s useless to me.”
Lin Zhongyu blinked her golden eyes.
She looked down at the precious Bingxin Grass and thought to herself: Even if it’s useless, it could be traded for other third-grade spiritual herbs. How could it be valueless?
She knew in her heart that this was just an excuse from Yun Zhonghe.
Yun Zhonghe continued, “Moreover, I found this item unexpectedly in that black wooden stick today.
At that time, because Mu Jixue was present, I sensed a strong fluctuation of ice spiritual energy inside and discovered this Bingxin Grass.
I think it must have appeared because it has some connection with you.
Since that’s the case, I should let it return to the person it belongs to.”
Listening to Yun Zhonghe’s “explanation,” Lin Zhongyu gradually curved her lips and suddenly burst into laughter.
Yun Zhonghe: “……”Lin Zhongyu: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to mock Yun brother. I just… suddenly remembered something happy!”
Yun Zhonghe’s previous reaction reminded Lin Zhongyu of Mu Jixue, who also always had this proud and coquettish demeanor.
She clearly wanted to show concern but pretended it was an accident or coincidence, and acted as if she didn’t care much.
Huh?
Why are these two so similar in character?
At this thought, a strange feeling welled up inside Lin Zhongyu.
But she didn’t think too much about it and looked into Yun Zhonghe’s firm and pure eyes.
At this moment, Lin Zhongyu felt that if she refused again, it would be completely disregarding Yun Zhonghe’s feelings.
“But, is it really appropriate? Today, Xue’er said many excessive things to Yun brother. Many people misunderstood you, and even I found it hard to forgive.”
Lin Zhongyu asked timidly.
It was evident that she really wanted to reconcile with Mu Jixue, but being caught in the middle made her feel very awkward.
Moreover, she believed that Mu Jixue was indeed in the wrong this time.
She had already reprimanded Mu Jixue in the forest outside the city last time, yet she still said those things in front of Yun Zhonghe.
It really couldn’t be justified.
But in Yun Zhonghe’s eyes, it was no big deal.
It was perfectly normal for good friends to tease each other.
The better the relationship, the more blunt the words.
One day, Yun Zhonghe would also make Mu Jixue call him “dad.”
“I don’t care. My reputation is already so bad that it can’t be salvaged. Let others misunderstand if they will. But you mustn’t cut ties with her over such a trivial matter. No matter what happens in the future, you must never easily give up on each other. Remember that?”
“For all these years, she has been the one supporting you, giving you comfort. What she has given is no less than what I have, and I even think it’s much more.”
“Mu Jixue has persisted for you for over ten years. Her determination and feelings for you are undoubtedly strong. You should take the initiative and not let her feel heartbroken.”
“Cherish the people around you, or you will regret it.”
Yun Zhonghe earnestly lectured the female protagonist, brainwashing her on behalf of Huang Ao tian, persuading her to firmly stay with Huang Ao tian.
Only if you two are good, will I be good!
Even if the sky falls, I will bear it.
You two must stay close!
“Yun brother………………” Lin Zhongyu was deeply moved. He didn’t hold grudges and was tolerant and understanding. This sentiment………………Lin Zhongyu took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely reconcile with Jixue as before.”
“Hmm.”
Yun Zhonghe nodded and smiled.
He was satisfied.
“But……” However, the next second, Lin Zhongyu raised her eyes and gazed deeply at Yun Zhonghe.
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe felt as if there was some special emotion surging in the female protagonist’s eyes.
“Yun brother just said that I should value the people around me, but to me, Yun brother is also someone I value!”
“So please don’t say that you don’t care about your reputation, and don’t speak ill of yourself. Yun brother, such self-harming words would also make me very sad.”
“I……………hope you can take care of yourself.”
“And also, if anyone slanders you in the future, I will still stand up and speak for Yun brother!”
Lin Zhongyu spoke as if she was making a vow.
As she spoke, it seemed as if she radiated a brilliant light.
She actually showed tenderness to Yun Zhonghe, the blonde villain.
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe was stunned.
Is this girl an angel?
For a moment, Yun Zhonghe suddenly felt a bit envious of Huang Ao tian, who had such an understanding childhood friend.
Thinking about himself, it seemed that he only had Tao Jiu’er, the accountant who loved to watch the drama and never tired of it.
Comparing people really could drive one mad.
Meanwhile, Tao Jiu’er, who was at the Yun residence, suddenly sneezed.
She abruptly stood up from reading a storybook and looked around, her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed: “Who’s speaking ill of me behind my back!”
