NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13.1 – Do You Like Me
Because she’s a Pisces…
In this world, people born under the curse star of Pisces have hair that can switch between two colors depending on their mood. It’s as mesmerizing as their Pisces magic.
Another noteworthy curse star is Gemini, with heterochromia – two different-colored eyes. Their traits are as elusive and unpredictable as their Gemini magic. Each curse star has its own distinct characteristics.
As a Pisces, Sui Lier’s hair turns blue when she’s happy and pink when she’s sad. It’s pretty easy to understand.
Looking at her aquamarine hair, Cheng Ling thought to himself: “It looks good on her…”
At this moment, even while sleeping, Sui Lier pouted, maintaining the same expression she had before she lost consciousness.
Unable to resist, Chen Ling extended his index finger and gently poked her lip. He forcibly lifted the corner of her mouth. As a result, she simultaneously tilted it downward and curled it upward, looking quite bizarre.
Chen Ling grinned and thought: This is quite fun…
So he began poking her while she was unconscious.
Poke, poke, poke…
Suddenly, Sui Li’er furrowed her eyebrows. She abruptly opened her mouth and bit down on Chen Ling’s finger.
“Ah-” Chen Ling let out a low exclamation, Oh… It’s fine… It doesn’t hurt! She startled me.
He had been bitten by his little sister before, and that girl had sharp teeth. One bite gave him a psychological shadow. His middle finger almost broke.
Chen Ling slowly moved his finger away.
Sui Li’er smacked her lips twice with her eyes closed, continuing to sleep.
Chen Ling wiped his finger on his body, then tidied his hairstyle, looked up at the moonlight, pretending nothing happened. Fortunately, no one noticed, I didn’t do anything…
He just kept holding Sui Li’er in place, motionless. The sky was getting bright, and he couldn’t help but yawn.
Looking down, he noticed her hair had turned pink again, and she was frowning and biting her lip. Suddenly, she started crying in his arms.
Chen Ling was taken aback, a nightmare? Should he wake her up?
“Hey… Wake up…”
“Wake up.”
Chen Ling gradually increased his volume.
But Sui Li’er seemed immersed in that sorrowful dream, unable to break free. Seeing this, Chen Ling extended his hand and lightly flicked her forehead.
“Mmm!” Sui Li’er’s body trembled abruptly, and she immediately covered her forehead with her hand. At the same time, she woke up, her eyes still in a bewildered state.
“It hurts…” Then she regained her clarity.
She opened her eyes and saw Chen Ling holding her in front of her. Her small mouth slightly agape, she stared blankly at Chen Ling. Chen Ling looked at the red mark on her forehead,
like someone trying to open their third eye, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, pursing his lips to hold back a smile.
“Chen Ling?”
“Yes.”
“It’s really you!”
“Yes.”
“Ah…” Seeing her about to cry again, Chen Ling quickly threatened:
“If you cry again, I’ll leave.”
“Mmm…” Sui Li’er immediately suppressed her tears. She wiped away the tears that had just fallen.
She gazed at Chen Ling with her captivating beautiful eyes, never turning away. This time, Chen Ling clearly saw how her hair changed color.
Starting from the roots, it first transformed into dreamlike colors, then gradually merged, finally revealing the blue color.
Chen Ling couldn’t help but marvel: “Your hair is quite magical.”
Sui Li’er heard his compliment and smiled knowingly: “Is it? Hehe… After all, I’m a Pisces.”
Chen Ling smiled. “Are you going to get off now? You’ll get tired.”
She then realized that she had been in Chen Ling’s arms all this time. “Oh, okay…”
“Why? Don’t want to get off? Should I keep holding you?” Chen Ling thought she would feel shy.
But Sui Li’er showed an expectant smile: “Hehe, can you?”
“No, I can’t.”
“Oh…”
Chen Ling bent down and gently put her down.
After standing still all night, his body’s bones suddenly made a cracking sound.
Startled, Sui Li’er quickly held onto him: “Wait!”
“What’s wrong now?”
“Are you… fractured?”
Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling with concern, the creaking sound of his bones was truly alarming.
“No.”
“Oh… then… am I fractured?”
Chen Ling tilted his head slightly upon hearing that, and his bones made another strange noise. His face expressed: Do you understand now?
He pondered that Sui Li’er should have understood by now.
However, Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling in astonishment, tremblingly extended her little hand and placed it on both sides of his face. She gently adjusted his head, whispering softly: “Are you feeling better?”
Chen Ling: =.=…
Suddenly, he felt like a fool, no… he had overestimated her intelligence, without saying anything, he simply put her down.
“Are you okay?” Sui Li’er still looked at him with some worry,
“I’m fine.”
“Oh…” Sui Li’er didn’t say anything more, she just watched him quietly.
Chen Ling suddenly felt a little embarrassed and awkward. He turned his head, gazing into the distance, looking at the world before him.
Many buildings had collapsed in front of him, while in the distance, people were busy with construction.
Chen Ling had destroyed so many buildings, losing a significant amount of points, yet compared to the points Sui Li’er had made him gain, it was hardly worth mentioning.
He couldn’t be bothered to look at the points leaderboard, it was probably already in the tens of millions. But he remained completely unfazed.
Just then, Sui Li’er suddenly spoke up: “Um… Chen Ling?”
“Yes?” Chen Ling turned his head to look at her, but Sui Li’er didn’t say anything. Instead, she smiled with pursed lips, and the points continued to skyrocket.
“Chen Ling?”
“Yes?”
“Chen Ling?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Hehe… Chen Ling…”
Chen Ling looked at her with a head full of question marks.
“Heehee…”
