After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 271 Spiritual Soil

Because the Ten Thousand Years Brocade had already been handed over, not long after Fatty Lan made the announcement, a mermaid maid brought the Blue Sea Tide Pearl to the private room.

Lu Bai held the beads in his arms and couldn't let go, feeling very complicated.

He was happy that his natal spiritual treasure had been found, but he also felt sorry for the thousand-year-old brocade that Lu Fengxian had given away.

Seeing how restless he was, Bai Yaoyao comforted him, "There's still a long way to go, just pay it back slowly!"

Only then did Lu Bai return to his usual heartless self, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Bai Yaoyao and others did not participate in the next auction, but just watched quietly.

During the intermission, Xiao Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed Bai Yaoyao and whispered, "Yaoyao, I feel so stuffy in here, can you accompany me out to get some fresh air?"

Bai Yaoyao nodded when she saw her blushing face. The halftime break was quite long anyway, so it would be okay to go out for a walk.

The two of them walked out of Jubao Pavilion and walked side by side in the open space outside the door.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao covering her chest with her hands and frowning slightly, Bai Yaoyao hurriedly supported her and asked worriedly.

Xiao Xiaoxiao shook her head, and after a long while she lowered her head and said, "Yaoyao, have you ever been in love?"

Bai Yaoyao was stunned. She didn't expect that Xiao Xiaoxiao called her out specifically to talk about this.

She hesitated for a while, and finally answered: "I talked to him once, but it didn't lead to any good result..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao said faintly: "Then do you know what it feels like when you like someone? Do you want to see him all the time? When you see him, you want to get close to him but you dare not get close to him? His every word and action can affect your thoughts, making you completely unable to refute him or reject him?"

Bai Yaoyao blinked and whispered, "Are you talking about... you to Senior Brother Lu?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao raised her head, a trace of surprise flashed across her blushing cheeks: "Is it so obvious? I thought I hid it well."

Bai Yaoyao: ...

I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about hiding well...

During this period of time, just look at your attitude when you met Lu Fengxian. Anyone with eyes can see it, okay?

Seeing Bai Yaoyao's noncommittal look, Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and began to pull at her pigtails hanging in front of her chest. "I admit that he saved me before, and I do have a certain affection for him, but..."

Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao hesitated to speak, Bai Yaoyao asked, "But what? Are you worried that you are not from this world and will have to go back sooner or later, so you dare not express your love?"

"No!" Xiao Xiaoxiao denied it flatly.

"what is that?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the pigtail suddenly clenched, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she pulled Bai Yaoyao's hand and whispered, "Yaoyao! I think something is wrong with me!"

Bai Yaoyao: "What's wrong?"

"Just..." Xiao Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, "My heart! My heart is not right! I can't control my heart!"

As if afraid that Bai Yaoyao would ask questions, Xiao Xiaoxiao spoke very quickly, "I have always been a slow-moving person since I was a child. I have never had such strong emotional fluctuations towards anything or anyone, not even when I was researching my favorite poisonous weed in the laboratory!

However, every time I faced Senior Brother Lu, there was a voice in my heart that kept shouting, "Get close to him! Trust him! Rely on him!"

Even...surrender to him!

Xiao Xiaoxiao found it difficult to say the last few words. She bit her lower lip and didn't say them out loud.

Xiao Xiaoxiao held onto Bai Yaoyao's arm, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, her voice slightly tearful, "Yaoyao, tell me, am I sick? Will liking someone really change me so much? Will I really have such a strong emotional reaction?"

"This..." Faced with Xiao Xiaoxiao's request for advice, Bai Yaoyao really didn't know how to answer.

She had never been in a normal relationship. The only time she had a relationship was with the scumbag Qin Ming. At that time, she was sick, so her heart and eyes were full of him. Whatever Qin Ming did and said was right! But after she recovered from her illness, she looked at Qin Ming's behavior and it made her sick.

Xiao Xiaoxiao and Lu Fengxian have only known each other for ten days, but Xiao Xiaoxiao already looks like she is about to fall in love with him.

Is this really normal?

she does not know.

Bai Yaoyao was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Xiaoxiao, I don't know how much you like Lu Fengxian, but I believe you know one thing very well in your heart. After all, you are not from the same world. When I return, you will also have to end this journey. Even if he likes you, he can't go back to Blue Star with us. There is an insurmountable space between you!"

"Yaoyao, I know everything you said!" Xiao Xiaoxiao's face, which had just been flushed, turned pale. "So this is also what I don't understand. I'm not an impulsive person. I'm even very timid. So even though I know that he and I are not the same kind of people, I still have such feelings for him. I really...really find it strange."

Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Yaoyao with tears in her eyes, half raising her head, "Yaoyao, do you know? I feel like I'm not myself now... It's like there's another me hidden in my heart. I'm desperately trying to escape, but she's desperately trying to get close to me with my body..."

Bai Yaoyao opened her mouth, not knowing how to comfort this poor girl who was trapped in love.

She even felt a little regretful. If she hadn't brought her into this world, would Xiaoxiao not have to feel such emotional entanglement?

Bai Yaoyao patted her back gently and said, "It's okay. Now we have found what we are looking for. After the auction is over, we will return to Blue Star. Maybe after you can't see him anymore, you won't be so entangled."

"Yeah!" The tears that Xiao Xiaoxiao had been holding back for a long time finally burst out, "Yaoyao, I want to go home..."

"Okay! Just bear with it! We'll go home tonight..." Bai Yaoyao took out a tissue to help Xiao Xiaoxiao wipe away her tears, "Okay, let's go back quickly! The halftime break should be almost over, and we should go back too."

"Yaoyao, you go back first! I want to be quiet outside for a while, I will go back later."

Bai Yaoyao saw that she looked distracted and knew that she didn't want to go back to face Lu Fengxian, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay! Then take care of yourself and don't wander around!"

Bai Yaoyao went back first, and when Xiao Xiaoxiao returned to the private room, the break had already ended, and Fatty Lan was working hard on introducing the things in his hand on the stage.

Chen Yingjie saw that Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying, so he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
