"That shouldn't be so reckless."
With all his thoughts retracted, Cui Ling did not forget why he came here today: "That's all, remember, if you encounter something like this in the future, hide as far away as you can, and don't stupidly move forward. Do you hear me?"
Su Yu had always been soft-tempered, so she nodded in agreement.
After thinking about it, she added in a low voice: "Because the person who had the accident was my cousin, I was like this. If it were anyone else, I would definitely avoid it."
This almost blunt statement made Cui Ling's heart tremble.
Because it's you, I'm not afraid of danger.
The task progress bar had been trembling, spinning very close to fifty, but just now, the second Su Yu finished speaking, it jumped to fifty.
Doing some math, the male protagonist's favorability level seems to be full.
The victory in the first stage made Su Yu and the system cheer.
This time it was a real surprise.
Su Yu originally planned to follow the path of smooth and silent moisturizing, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened in the plot. She helped the male protagonist block a knife and directly increased her favorability.
Of course, the price is that the character is slightly ruined and twenty points are deducted.
The reason for deducting points is the same as what the male protagonist said, she shouldn't go over to help him block the sword.
The original owner was originally weak and timid, with a little scheming, but it was limited to self-preservation and gaining favor. At most, he could seduce the eldest prince for his own future.
Within this limit, Su Yu can try her best to win the male protagonist's favor.
But beyond this limit, for example, this time he blocked Cui Ling's sword in a dangerous situation, which is not in line with the original owner's weak and pitiful life philosophy of being wise and self-protective.
But in the eyes of others, it is quite in line with the kindness and beauty of the original owner's external performance.
As for the character design, the original owner is one thing, and the others are also another thing. Sometimes, if other people in the plot think that you are not broken, then you are not broken.
So it was only a symbolic deduction of twenty points.
Su Yu could vaguely guess what the male protagonist was thinking at this moment.
——This girl is so pure and unpretentious. She would risk her life for me. She really loves me.
The process went a little awry, but the result was exactly what I wanted.
Thinking of this, Su Yu's expression became more gentle and serious: "Cousin, there is no need to bear any burden. I did all this voluntarily. Even if I do it again, I will still make this choice."
Cui Ling was silent for a long time: "Is it worth it?"
Su Yu pursed her lips slightly: "Nothing is worth it or not. I just wanted to do it, so I did it."
Faced with such pure and passionate feelings, Cui Ling was a little at a loss, like a child learning to walk for the first time, stumbling and faltering.
He seemed to... somewhat understand what Lin Jinse meant by liking her.
After a long while, he turned away and changed the subject: "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Su Yu raised her hand with a smile, "The doctor said she's recovering well, cousin, don't worry."
Cui Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly remembered another thing and looked a little unnatural: "I tore your clothes apart..."
Su Yu seemed to know what he wanted to say, and she said softly: "It's okay. When it comes to urgency, you should follow the authority. I understand, and my cousin doesn't need to take it to heart."
Cui Ling frowned and said disapprovingly: "It's about your reputation, how can I not take it to heart?"
Su Yu was stunned, her eyelashes lowered and trembling slightly: "Then...what does my cousin want to do?"
Cui Ling suddenly got stuck, what did he want to do?
Yes, what does he want to do?
According to normal thinking, he would block the information of all insiders to minimize the impact, and then send something to appease Su Yu. As she said, both sides can understand the situation when it comes to urgency.
But he rejected this option.
Why?
Cui Ling calmly asked herself why.
For a moment, as if the fog was lifted, Cui Ling finally realized something and began to face his heart.
All thoughts converge into one thought——
He wants to marry Su Yu.
It was not that he was willing to marry or take her as a concubine, but that he wanted to marry. He wanted to marry Su Yu as his wife.
Su Yu interpreted his silence as another meaning.
"It's okay, I said, cousin, don't blame yourself. If my cousin hadn't helped me stop the bleeding in time, I might have fainted before the doctor came. It's me who should thank my cousin. How can I embarrass you in turn? Yeah." Su Yu said thoughtfully.
Cui Ling knew that she might have misunderstood, but now was not the time to talk about this. The court matter had not been resolved yet, the house was not at peace, and her mother had to pass...
Cui Ling could imagine how much resistance he would encounter.
But he has no regrets.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
Following Su Yu's words, Cui Ling stopped talking about this matter and brought up another matter: "Anyway, it is a fact that you were hurt for me. Here, on behalf of the Cui family, I make you a promise, anything, as long as you If you put it forward, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to complete it."
Su Yu was shocked and looked up at him: "This...how is this good?"
In fact, I have already started planning what requests to make.
Cui Ling: "Don't refuse, this is what mother means."
Su Yu was embarrassed: "But this is not why I saved my cousin."
Cui Ling: "I know."
"But that doesn't conflict with our wanting to repay you."
Su Yu seemed to be persuaded and did not refuse.
"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that there is indeed something I hope my cousin will agree to." Su Yu's eyelashes trembled, and her cheeks turned red, showing a hint of shyness.
"What's up?"
Cui Ling's eyes passed over Su Yu's suddenly shy expression, and her heart beat inexplicably.
Su Yu bit her lip, her cheeks red: "I like someone, but he has a noble status and I am not worthy of him."
Cui Ling's heart beat a little faster and she said calmly, "Yeah."
Su Yu's tone was low: "I don't have a family background like Miss Lin or Yue'er, so I can't give him any help. I have no other strengths except a decent face. I don't know if he will mind this, but I I really like him, from the first time I saw him.”
Cui Ling's voice was the same as usual: "How did you know he would mind?"
Su Yu's voice was thin: "It's just because I don't know that I've been feeling uneasy."
Cui Ling: "Do you think he likes you?"
Su Yu hesitated: "I don't know, maybe... maybe I like it..."
Cui Ling analyzed calmly: "Since we are not sure, why not tell him directly instead of worrying about things here and looking forward and backward?"
"Tell me directly?" Su Yu's eyes widened in panic and she quickly shook her head, "No, I don't dare."
"Why don't you dare?"
Su Yu's eyes were red: "I am of a low status, my parents are gone, and even my family property has been occupied by my uncle. If it weren't for the care of my aunt and the eldest lady, I might not even have a roof over my head. How can I have the confidence to express my feelings? "
She lowered her head in embarrassment and said with tears in her voice: "Even if I become a concubine, I'm afraid it's just an extravagant hope."
The throbbing in my heart suddenly turned into sourness.
Cui Ling never knew that Su Yu despised him so much.
"Then what do you want me to promise?"
