Erina knew perfectly well. When this person was playing with her feet for no reason, then put them down and sat up again, he might do something really outrageous and outrageous. After all, it was already evening, and as for dinner, this bastard would probably treat her to dinner in some unusual way.
It is precisely because of this understanding that, considering the overall situation, I feel a bit tense.
Just in case some guy really decides to become inhuman.
Erina declared that her innocence was her own, and she had no intention of losing it. If this guy did something outrageous, she would lose all face.
So I subconsciously became vigilant and tensed up, afraid that I would be tricked by someone.
Lin Qi was speechless at the other party's wary look. Was he some kind of monster? Some kind of giant monster? Why was he looking at him so warily?
For some reason, Lin Qi felt inexplicably annoyed at that moment.
Lin Qi didn't speak at this moment, but instead looked at the other person quietly.
Erina felt an inexplicable sense of pressure, as if the person in front of her was just staring at her without saying anything, bringing her unparalleled pressure.
Erina felt inexplicably guilty. After all, she was being stared at like that by this person for no reason. She never felt that kind of pressure before, but she did at this moment.
This was a feeling I had never experienced before, but the pressure also made me feel inexplicably guilty.
Erina swallowed hard at that moment.
Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?
Erina stammered as she spoke. Normally, she should be incredibly brave and fearless, but at this moment she felt inexplicably scared, especially when faced with this person's gaze. Why did she feel so guilty?
I should be the one questioning this person, right? How did things get so complicated that I end up looking like a criminal?
Today I want to ask a question, but I can't get the words out. I feel like I've unintentionally done something wrong.
"Um... let's talk this out. Can you please stop looking at me like that? If I accidentally did something wrong, I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Erina gave in without hesitation at that moment. As for her tsundere and willful nature, to hell with them.
Chapter 744 This is clearly a crisis of trust
"Erina, do you know how heartbroken you are?"
Erina had a big question mark on her head at this moment, especially when this person suddenly said this, and the tone of his voice gave people a strange feeling.
Erina was genuinely confused at this moment. She couldn't understand what she had done. Had she offended some divine law to make this person have such an expression?
The only problem is that he didn't say anything, and I just subconsciously felt that it would be better to apologize, so I apologized, but strictly speaking, I really don't know where I went wrong.
At this moment, Erina gritted her teeth and then honestly asked the question.
"Well, why don't you tell me what's wrong with my work, and I'll fix it?"
At this moment, Erina was clearly saying, "I have no idea where I went wrong. If I did go wrong, you should explain it to me clearly."
Erina herself genuinely didn't understand where she went wrong, but since the guy wouldn't explain it clearly, she was actually quite confused.
Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, Lin Qi pointed out the problem.
"When I stood up just now, did you back away? Your eyes told me you were scared."
Erina:?
When Erina heard this, a big question mark appeared above her head. She really wanted to ask, "Isn't this normal?"
Although he wanted to ask, he didn't foolishly ask it out; instead, he asked a question in return.
"What's wrong with this?"
"Don't you think this is a big problem? After all, you backed away when I stood up, and you even looked scared. What happened to our trust? This shows that you have never trusted me. This is a pure crisis of trust."
Although Lin Qi was speaking as if it were a joke, the person opposite him had a strange and complicated feeling. He felt that Lin Qi was trying to fool him, but the other person's words also seemed to make sense. This complicated feeling kept alternating.
Erina seemed to realize something was wrong at that moment.
"No, that's not how it is."
Erina immediately spoke up after realizing the problem, after all, she really didn't mean it that way.
"Then tell me what it looks like?"
At this moment, Lin Qi chose to be aggressive and asked, "Since you say it's not like that, then what is it like? Tell me about it."
Erina could tell from his expression that if she didn't give him an explanation today, things would get complicated.
"The reason I acted this way is because I know you too well. Your behavior just now, plus the fact that you suddenly started doing it, and it's almost mealtime now, is exactly what I'm thinking. I believe you'll most likely turn into a beast."
"That's why I took a few steps back. After all, what time is it now? If you turn into a beast in the living room and Hisako comes out, then I'll really lose face."
"The reason I backed down is not because I don't trust you, but because I trust that you would act like a scoundrel, which is why I backed down."
Erina hurriedly offered an explanation at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately resorted to sophistry, determined to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson today.
"Look at you, look at you! You yourself said you were worried I'd turn into a beast, but don't you think about it? It's mealtime, how could I possibly do such a thing? If you really knew me, you would definitely think that I'd only do bad things after I've eaten and drunk my fill and have the energy, not like you say, worrying that I'll turn into a beast prematurely."
At this moment, Lin Qi began to discuss the issue with the other party in a very serious manner.
Erina was stunned when she heard this. Was there really such an explanation? But she was truly wronged this time.
Erina also felt uncomfortable at this moment. After all, if the other party wanted to interpret it that way, she really had nothing to say. However, she could guarantee that she had absolutely no such thoughts.
“I told you not to slander me or spread rumors about me; I never had such thoughts.”
"According to what you said, at most it can be considered that I made a mistake in judgment, but you can't sentence me to death."
Erina, equally defiant, retorted that if they followed the other's logic, it would at most mean she had misjudged the situation, but it was far from meeting the criteria for execution. After all, this guy was planning to execute her all at once; this wouldn't do...
Lin Qi looked at the other party's defiant and frantic struggle and felt somewhat helpless. "Why don't you just give me a proper sentence? Let me establish my authority."
"This is also a consequence of your lack of understanding of me. After all, if you knew me well enough, you definitely wouldn't be like this. You don't put your heart into it at all; you only care about your body."
Erina:. . .
Erina was furious after hearing that.
"If you want me to be sincere, at least give me some time. Please, how long have we known each other? Search your conscience. In the short time we've known each other, what more do you want? Do you really think we can accomplish a lot in such a short time?"
Erina was genuinely furious at this moment. Didn't this guy realize how long they'd only known each other? Thinking about this, she felt inexplicably helpless. They hadn't known each other for very long, but look what happened—this guy had beaten her down from top to bottom.
Erina even seriously doubted whether she would be returned the very next day if she married someone else without having surgery or something. Uh oh, no, I should say that apart from that, marrying someone else would be a blessing for them, so she quickly got that thought out of her mind.
After thinking about this, Erina inexplicably regained her confidence.
"In short, I admit that I may not know you well enough, but there is one thing I don't need to admit: I don't know you well enough. But that's because we haven't known each other for very long. If we had known each other for a longer time, I can guarantee that I definitely wouldn't have made this mistake."
Erina made a confident promise at this moment, after all, she really didn't think that spending a lot of time with this guy would lead to making such a mistake.
Chapter 745 Erina, just wait until I corrupt you!
Looking at the other party's confident demeanor, Lin Qi felt somewhat helpless. He had clearly intended to help the other party out, but the other party had pulled out such a plausible excuse. Strictly speaking, the two of them hadn't known each other for very long, not even a semester.
"I don't believe you would try to understand me like this, unless you prove that you are willing to try."
Erina glanced at someone, especially at those violet-like eyes, which were filled with disdain. This guy had entered a cheating mode.
"Don't look at me like that. After all, your retreat just now hurt me deeply. It's normal for me to want some compensation, isn't it?"
Lin Qi's words left the other party speechless. Strictly speaking, it's normal to ask for some compensation, but is the compensation you want legitimate?
"Speak up, what exactly do you want? Let me make this clear first, don't think about anything too troublesome, and don't think about anything too outrageous either."
Erina decisively rejected someone's bad intentions, indicating that they shouldn't even think about such unpleasant things.
Lynch: ...
"Don't you think what you're doing is going too far? Under normal circumstances, you should be comforting me and soothing my wounded heart."
At that moment, Lin Qi clutched his chest, looking utterly heartbroken.
Erina was truly helpless at this moment. This guy was a thug who was clearly up to no good.
"What do you want?"
At that moment, Lynch snapped his fingers, and Erina felt as if everything around her had changed.
"Stop looking, I've stopped time around us."
Erina:. . .
Erina was furious when she heard this. This guy actually went straight for the time-stopping trick; he was definitely going to cause some trouble.
"Erina, come here, squat down to show your sincerity."
At that moment, Lin Qi acted like a strange uncle, waving at the other person and indicating that he would take them to see the goldfish.
Erina:. .
Erina wasn't an idiot; she understood perfectly well what the other person meant. Her face flushed red, and she looked like she was gritting her teeth.
"Get out of here and give up on that idea."
Erina, don't you understand what this guy wants? He just wants to give me an extra meal. Does he really think he's the one who's been confused by you, you bastard?
Erina knew very well that when she was in a daze, she was more likely to do something outrageous than herself, so it wasn't surprising at all. The problem was that she was now awake, and this guy still wanted to do this? What a joke!
Erina refused without hesitation, stating that this guy's idea of doing something bad while she was sober was simply a pipe dream, and she would absolutely not give in.
At that moment, a cake appeared in Lin Qi's hand, and the cake emitted an enticing aroma.
Erina looked at the ordinary cake, but the aroma was so enticing that she instinctively reached out to grab it. Unfortunately, she was facing Lin Qi and couldn't get it at all. She could only watch the cake slip away from her with regret, and then she glared at him with a gritted-teeth expression.
"Baka, what do you want to do, or rather, what do you want?"
Erina felt really angry looking at the cake in someone's hand. She was also anxious and wanted to grab it. It looked so tempting. If she could get it, she could definitely enjoy the delicious treat.
"Want to eat? It's simple. I only have one request: soothe my wounded heart, and then I'll have everything. I'll prepare a super feast for you tonight."
Erina:. .
Erina knew that this bastard was up to no good and was really thinking about that kind of thing. He actually used food to tempt her into being inhuman. He was so inhuman, what a despicable guy.
Erina stated that she should be able to never give in.
Erina internally used the word "should" because this thing was just too tempting, and she had a feeling that she might not be able to resist it.
"Let me make this clear first: if you refuse, you'll have to figure it out yourself tonight."
Erina was completely taken in and forced to act cute, her face showing a conflicted expression. Should she give in to this jerk's ridiculous request? Well, at this moment, faced with the temptation of delicious food, I feel like I can't resist.
Erina was genuinely torn between giving in and surrendering. Well, the food was just too tempting. It wasn't that her will was weak, but rather that the other party lacked any sense of martial ethics.
