After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrants Beloved (25.1)

Upon hearing this, Li Shu turned his head and looked at Qi Mingxuan in astonishment. "Take me to recuperate?"

Due to the shock, Li Shu's eyes widened, resembling a startled rabbit. Qi Mingxuan chuckled behind his hand. Despite knowing Li Shu for so long, the most common expression he saw on the young man's face was calmness. No matter what happened, the expression on the young man's face remained serene, unaffected by external factors, giving Qi Mingxuan the illusion that he could leave at any moment.

Qi Mingxuan had a vague feeling that one day, the young man would leave completely, and there would no longer be any trace of the young man's existence in the world. Just thinking about it made Qi Mingxuan anxious, like someone who had been in darkness for years. If someone has never seen light, they could survive in the darkness, but what if, one day, they met their own light?

How can they endure the boundless darkness again after seeing the light?

He didn't know how to make the young man stay, how to preserve that unique light for himself. Despite being so close, he felt an invisible barrier separating them into two different worlds. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't overcome this barrier.

How could he accept this? For the first time in his life, he felt moved, and it would be the only time. He didn't want to miss it. He didn't ask for much in this life, only this one thing, craving mercy from fate.

"Where do you plan to take me? I only burned my leg, and the doctor said it's not a big deal. Do I really need special leave?" Under Qi Mingxuan's scorching gaze, Li Shu felt as if he had turned into a delicacy that had just been placed on the table, steaming and waiting for the master to pick up the chopsticks.

The young man looked at him with wide eyes, and there was actually a little fear in his eyes. Qi Mingxuan closed his eyes, suppressing the heat in his eyes. When he opened them again, the look in his eyes on the young man became gentle, lacking the previous intensity. Unable to resist, he ruffled the young man's hair, saying gently, "Don't be afraid."

Suddenly being rubbed on the head, Li Shu's eyes widened even more. Ever since he cultivated successfully, no one had ever touched his head. He was a great demon in his realm, but unexpectedly, he was patted on the head by someone from a small world!!!

[Host, calm down, calm down. Don't get angry. The male protagonist doesn't know your identity...] Seeing this scene, 1314 felt like its head was about to explode and it quickly explained. It didn't want the first world to witness a brutal event where the host killed the male protagonist of the small world. At the same time, it complained in its heart: Male protagonist, can't you just talk? Why do you have to use your hands and feet? Don't you think it's enough ?

[Why would I be angry?] Li Shu was puzzled. Contrary to the system's concerns, not only was he not angry, he even found it quite comfortable. Qi Mingxuan's palm was broad, the pressure was just right, and if he could transform into his original form and let the male protagonist stroke his fur, it would be even better.

Completely unable to fathom the host's thoughts, 1314: [...] 'So, I was worrying for nothing.'

Ruffling Li Shu's hair was entirely Qi Mingxuan's momentary impulse. He realized what he had done and was about to retract his hand and apologize when he felt a soft strand of hair brush against his palm. Qi Mingxuan felt a slight joy. He discreetly observed Li Shu's expression and on seeing that he showed no displeasure or objection, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He feared that a small gesture might once again create distance between him and the young man, a distance that had gradually narrowed.
