Cultivation Online novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977 - Feelings

Once all of the lights in the room were shut off, Yuan and Yu Rou entered the bed together.

"How long has it been since we slept together? It's only been several months since you left the Yu Family, but it feels like much longer has passed." Yu Rou suddenly said.

Yuan turned his head sideways to look at her delicate face and smiled, "You have matured a lot since the last time I saw you."

"I had to grow up fast now that I am living alone. Living by yourself isn't easy. I thought that I was ready because I had been able to take care of you for years without much trouble, but I underestimated it. It's actually a lot harder to take care of yourself than to take care of others. Fortunately, Jingyi is there with me, so I am not truly alone."

"And brother, I can also say the same to you. You've changed a lot."

"Well, just like you, I also had to grow up fast."

"I know, but you also seem like a different person." Yu Rou said.

"In a bad sense?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"No, not in a bad sense. Before, even though you are older than me, it kind of felt like I was the older one. However, after spending a day with you, I can finally experience being a little sister again."

"Do you prefer the way I am now, or would you rather the old and naive me?"

Yu Rou pondered for a moment before speaking, "Honestly, I like both versions of you. However, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose the current you."

"Can I ask why?"

However, Yu Rou shook her head in silence.

"That's a secret," she mumbled in a bashful voice.

Due to the darkness in the room, Yu Rou's red face remained hidden.

"I guess everyone has their own secrets." Yuan smiled, not minding it.

After a moment of silence, Yu Rou turned to stare at Yuan's face with a serious expression.

"Brother… I have been wanting to ask you this, but I never got the chance."

"Meixiu… How are things between you and Meixiu right now?"

"Eh?" Yuan was taken aback by this sudden question.

"I mean, the two of you have been living together for a while now, and you even got to spend a few months living together inside a small apartment. As two young adults, you must have made some progress in your relationships, right?!"

"I-I don't get what you're trying to ask…" Yuan pretended to be oblivious.

However, Yu Rou wasn't having any of it and continued, "Don't lie to me, brother."

"Meixiu is a very attractive and beautiful woman, and she has been taking care of you ever since you left the Yu Family. The two of you are even around the same age. There's no way that you don't have any feelings for her."

"There's really nothing between us, Yu Rou." Yuan showed her a bittersweet smile.

"Brother! I might have believed you if you were still as naive as before, but you're different now! I am also different! I have matured as your sister and as a woman! I can tell that there's something between the two of you!"

Seeing the expression on Yu Rou's face at this moment, Yuan released a low sigh.

"All right, I will tell you the truth. Indeed, Meixiu is an attractive woman. After all, she's managed to charm me."
