Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 377 Have you really never taken me to heart?
The air at the table froze instantly.

Everyone felt as if a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

They didn't dare to speak and could only eat the food on the table in silence.

For a moment, they didn't know whether Mr. Xu did it on purpose or was just stupid.

Zhu Cici has already shown it so obviously. Logically speaking, it's impossible for you not to know that she's interested in you, right?

No matter how good Zhu Cici's temper is, how can she be happy when the other party praises another woman in front of her?
In fact, it is true.

Zhu Cici really has a very good temper and rarely argues with others.

Even if it was an academic issue, Zhu Cici would never think about convincing others.

Because everyone has his own ideas, and if he thinks something is the case, nothing you say will help.

But when Zhu Cici heard Xu Ming praising another girl, she felt a little empty in her heart.

Zhu Cici was already pouting in her heart, and even felt like her teeth were a little itchy. She really wanted to bite the other person's neck.

"Calm down! CiCi! Calm down!"

Zhu Cici took a deep breath in his heart.

If I get angry at this time, wouldn't I appear to be a jealous person?

Besides, Xu Ming didn’t say whether he liked the princess or not.

That Princess is just Xu Ming's comrade-in-arms. There is nothing wrong with Xu Ming evaluating his own comrade-in-arms.

Maybe Xu Ming just treats her as an ordinary friend.

Is the affection he mentioned just the friendship between friends?

After all, if Xu Ming really liked the princess, he would have accepted the marriage proposed by Emperor Wu long ago.

Zhu Cici looked at Xu Ming with curved eyes, and felt that he needed to confirm: "It seems that Master Xu has a good impression of the princess."

The moment Zhu Cici said this, Fang Yu and others' chopsticks trembled.

They heard a hint of complaint and anger in Cici's tone, and they even wondered if Cici would punch the other person in the chest later.

Or maybe Ci Ci could just pick up the wine glass and pour it directly into his face!
No matter how straight Xu Ming was, he could taste something wrong.

What I just said does seem a bit bad.

But what I just said was indeed the truth.

I can't just try to win the favor of a girl by deliberately belittling other girls, right? That would be even more despicable.

"After all, we have experienced many life and death together, and the comradeship is still different." Xu Ming said, and then he added, "And Her Royal Highness is really cool, I think there should be few men who would not like Her Royal Highness."

Although Xu Ming's words were more tactful, he still expressed his affection for Wu Yanhan.

Xu Ming must have a good impression of Wu Yanhan, not to mention that during that hunting trip, he had a very in-depth communication with Wu Yanhan.

If the witch from the Western Regions is not counted, Yan Han is actually the woman he has had a deep conversation with and whom he has a crush on.

Xu Ming knew very well that if he said it now, it would hurt Zhu Cici's heart.

Xu Ming could see that Zhu Cici had some affection for him.

But Xu Ming didn’t quite understand. Was Zhu Cici’s liking for him real or just some kind of childhood obsession?

Xu Ming thought it might be the latter.

What Zhu Cici likes is not himself as a person. What Zhu Cici likes is his childhood self, and what he likes is the feeling of "liking".

It just so happens that Zhu Cici is also quite stubborn, and the things he made up his mind when he was a child are still on his mind today.

This does not mean that Xu Ming does not have any feelings for Zhu Cici.

Any normal man will have some feelings for Zhu Cici to some extent.

I am also a normal man. When I see a beautiful woman, I will definitely be attracted to her to some extent.

But this kind of liking is more due to the other person's appearance.

This kind of liking is just based on lust, not true liking.

Therefore, Xu Ming felt that he had to think about Zhu Cici.

Zhu Cici put himself into his childhood.

But the actual problem is that I have grown up.

After so many years, people change.

Am I still the type that Zhu Cici likes now?

Xu Ming felt that Zhu Cici needed to think about it carefully.

Xu Ming felt that he had to show his truest side now, instead of deliberately hiding it in order to win Zhu Cici's heart.

There is no need for me to keep hurting Zhu Cici's heart and destroy the beauty of her childhood.

In Xu Ming's opinion, the best thing to do now is to let her recognize herself clearly step by step.

Then when she realizes that "childhood is the past and the current Xu Ming is not the Xu Ming of the past", she will take the initiative to leave.

At that time, he and Zhu Cici would just be ordinary friends.

Yu Wenxi, who was sitting next to Xu Ming, was shocked to hear Brother Xu being so brave as to express his affection for another woman directly in front of Zhu Cici. He really wanted to hint something to Xu Ming.

But in the end he was stopped by Miao Feng.

Yu Wenxi looked at Miao Feng in confusion, his eyes seemed to say that if Brother Xu continued to say this, the two of them would probably break up completely.

Miao Feng understood the look in his brother's eyes but just shook his head.

The others pretended not to have heard anything and continued eating.

"Since Xu Mingni had a certain affection for the princess, why did you reject the marriage proposal at that time?"

Zhu Cici pursed her thin lips gently and clenched her hands on her thighs.

Zhu Cici felt pain and sourness in his heart.

You gave me "Dielianhua" as a poem to be composed at the banquet, just to complete the task, and there was no other meaning. I can understand that.

But when you gave me the poem you wrote when you were a child on my birthday, didn’t you mean that you wanted to marry me?

Otherwise, why would you write that poem to me?
But now you have a crush on other girls, and you even said it to my face.
Have you really never taken me to heart?
Have you really forgotten me all these years?

Is everything in your childhood just a joke to you?
Am I the only one who takes it seriously?
