Chapter 118, shall we play?
Reading Settings
When there were no people around, Yunxi looked up at Li Xingtang.
He couldn't help but look up. They were about the same age, but because he was a boy, he was a head taller than him without him even noticing.
He looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, how come he's so tall?
I roughly measured it in my mind, and I think I'm around 1.8 meters tall.
"Li Xingtang, what's wrong? Tell me quickly. Everyone else has left. If we wait any longer, it will get late, and it won't be safe to go back."
Hearing Yunxi's urging, Li Xingtang tried his best to mentally prepare himself before speaking.
"Yunxi, we've been classmates for over two years, so you should know me pretty well. I won't beat around the bush and will just tell you directly."
Even though his voice sounded calm, Yunxi could still detect a slight tremor in it.
It seems he's not as nonchalant as he appears; he's actually incredibly nervous inside.
Li Xingtang took a deep breath and continued, "I have a lot of feelings for you and want to date you with marriage in mind. Do you agree?"
Yunxi gasped, never expecting that the usually quiet and timid Yunxi would suddenly unleash such a bombshell.
Looking into his eyes, which were fixed on her, she saw nervousness, admiration, and anticipation, but no deception or regret. She knew he wasn't lying; he genuinely wanted to be with her.
However, Yunxi never considered dating him. The main reason was that she felt she hadn't had enough fun yet, and also, he wasn't the kind of man she wanted.
Having spent a few months here, I know the people here are conservative; if they're really dating, they're definitely aiming for marriage.
If the two of them don't get married, gossip will follow. Even if she doesn't care, she can't let those who care about her be sad or upset.
Although Yun Zhaodi was already engaged when she was 14 and planned to get married after the autumn harvest, she never thought she would start dating so soon.
Ultimately, the main issue is that Yunxi the Old Demon felt she hadn't had enough fun, and Li Xingtang wasn't someone she could play with whenever she wanted.
Once you start playing around, you have to take responsibility. Don't be fooled by his seemingly gentle demeanor in front of me; he's a man of his word when it comes to others.
It could be said that his privileged family background gave him confidence, so he had no choice but to suppress his restless thoughts.
At this moment, Yunxi looked at Li Xingtang with regret. If he had been a little more domineering and manly in front of her, she might have agreed.
Seeing the regretful look on Xu Rong's face, Li Xingtang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at her nervously.
"Li Xingtang, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not ready to date anyone so soon. I'm still young. I'll think about dating when I'm older."
"So you also have feelings for me, but you rejected me because you're too young, right?"
Li Xingtang's words were filled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to confirm with Yunxi.
Yunxi was taken aback by his words, silently rolled her eyes in her mind, and said irritably, "No, you're not my type. I don't like you."
Li Xingtang panicked and quickly asked, "Then what kind do you like? I'll change, okay? I really like you, and I hope you can give me a chance."
"Will you still be you after the change?"
"There's really no need. Even if you change to my liking, I might not date you or even marry you. I think I'm still young and don't want to talk about these things. Besides, I haven't had enough fun yet. Let's talk about it when I'm done."
Li Xingtang became extremely anxious when he heard that Yunxi hadn't had enough fun, thinking it might be because Yunxi lived alone without any adults to guide her.
Otherwise, how could they utter such treasonous words?
Yes, he immediately understood the meaning behind Yunxi's words and knew that she was still young and loved to play.
Even though he himself was only 15 years old, he still understood what he needed to know, though he was a little naive. He could only say helplessly, "Yunxi, don't say things like that in the future. It's not good for your reputation. A girl shouldn't talk like that."
Hearing his old-fashioned words, Yunxi burst out laughing.
Looking at Yunxi's beautiful smiling face, Li Xingtang's heart started pounding uncontrollably again. At this moment, not only his ears but also his neck were extremely red, and his eyes were shining as he looked at Yunxi.
This was the first time he had ever seen Yunxi smile so happily. Yunxi, who was already very beautiful, seemed to bloom instantly, as beautiful as a fairy, a beauty that seemed otherworldly.
With a dazed look in his eyes, he said dreamily, "Yunxi, you're so beautiful. You were already beautiful, but you're even more beautiful when you smile. Don't go play with other people, I'll play with you, okay?"
Seeing his infatuated look, Yunxi coughed lightly, a mischievous smile on her face, "You'll play with me? How do you want to play with me?"
I took a closer look at him. He was tall and had a good physique. Although clothes are generally loose these days, you could still tell that he was as upright as a young poplar tree and looked very energetic.
After realizing what she had said, Li Xingtang's face turned bright red instantly, and she was speechless.
But he knew this was his only chance, and if he didn't seize it now, he would never have another chance.
"Yunxi, you can do whatever you want, I'll go with you."
The peach tree spirit Yunxi had never tasted a man's flavor before. Hearing his words, she felt a little tempted, but when she thought about her age and his age, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured on her, and that little flame was instantly extinguished.
"Forget it, we're both still too young to play around with these things, and it wouldn't sound good to others anyway."
Li Xingtang became anxious when he heard Yunxi refuse, fearing that he would never have another chance after Yunxi's rejection.
"Yunxi, I really like you. Please don't reject me, okay? And I'm doing this willingly. Even if you don't plan to marry me in the future, I won't have any objections, and I won't let anyone else know about our relationship. Can you give me a chance? Give me a chance to have you."
Yunxi never expected him to say such a thing. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had lost his mind, that he could say something so disrespectful.
He did stir up some lingering feelings in me, but then I thought about my age…
Why……
Author: For some reason, the more I write, the more I feel like I've made the female lead a jerk. Can everyone accept the female lead being a jerk?
Because the author felt that the female protagonist was transformed from a fairy into a human, she could not be bound by human morality. Being faithful to one person is too difficult for a fairy. Fairies do not have this concept in their minds, and the female protagonist may not even have realized it. For her, it is just for fun, and she wants to play with more than one person.
Will the readers be able to accept this?
