"If you say so then, but if your cold, make sure to tell me" He Li was helpless in face of her insistence.
"Stop being so nice! You need to take care of yourself!" She needed to tell him this before he dies by making himself suffer because of her.
He Li was stunned stupid at Zi Hua's outburst.
"Are you going to be this nice to every person you meet?!"
"At this rate, you might one day get yourself killed?!"
He Li broke out of his stupor and hugged Zi Hua, he didn't want her to carry on like this but he could only think of giving her a hug as a way to calm her down.
He could tell that she was only trying to do this out of worry for him... if she was going to do this then he will to.
"What about you?"
"You're saying that I'm being to nice? Like you, I'm just afraid that you will make yourself suffer because of me" He gently wrapped his arms around Zi Hua and Zi Hua leaned her head and hands on his chest.
"You're no different, you make yourself suffer so that those around you don't have to" He Li could tell that she was like that from the past few days of interaction.
'!!!' Zi Hua finally realized that that was why her spirit beasts were so mad at her and the entire problem.
They stayed in that position for a while until Zi Hua spoke up.
"Then lets promise each other not to take our kindness towards others too far"
"En, but I want to clarify something first, I've only ever been this nice to you..." He Li had a impulse to clarify that because for some reason he wanted her to know that she was special to him.
He had not even treated Xiao Ling this nicely, talking about Xiao Ling, she and Xiao Shen were still inside the spirit artifacts since they hadn't called them out this morning since they were eating and it would be awkward for them to just be staring at them eating since spirit bodies don't need to eat.
Zi Hua immediately turned red at the flirtatious words, she didn't suspect him to be lying since He Li was not the kind of person to spout flowery words.
She was embarrassed beyond words, from the fact that she did what she was telling him off more than him and the fact that he-he...
Zi Hua didn't know what to say so she only thought to escape the situation.
"W-wait for a bit please, I need to sort something out" Zi Hua quickly disappeared from his embrace without waiting for a reply, pity she did not look up or she would've seen He Li's red face from his own words.
We have another contestant in the tomato face competition!
He Li knew she had go inside the Heaven-defying artifact so he remained there waiting whilst sorting out his emotions.
The first option in Zi Hua's mind to leave the situation was to go inside the Heaven-defying artifact and resolving her conflict with her spirit beasts was the perfect excuse- no reason, reason not excuse!
It didn't really count as using it right? Since she was only going inside to make up with her spirit beasts and totally not to escape from being flustered.
"Master?" The four of them had been watching what was happening and had had Xiao Shen hurriedly get rid of the screen.
They tried to act as surprised as possible and managed to bluff it through since Zi Hua was still trying to calm herself.
"Xiao Hong, Xiao Bai, Xiao Zi, I'm sorry" Once she regained her composure she quickly went to them and gave them a big group hug.
"I'm sorry for deciding things myself and not considering what you guys want, I thought what I was doing was the best for you guys and would protect you but now I realize that I was being inconsiderate and over-bearing, can you forgive me?"
