Karon stiffened. How should he answer? Seeing that he didn't say a word, Xia Lin's face darkened, and he made as if to leave.
Sure enough, Karon got anxious. "Sorry, Xiaolin. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
【Ding~ Karon feels guilty towards the host. The Blackening Value decreases by five points. Keep it up, host. Victory is just around the corner!】
The sudden voice of the system in Xia Lin's mind deflated his anger like a punctured balloon. After hearing Karon's reason, he was completely speechless.
"What on earth were you thinking? Of course I love you! When Naya acted like she was your childhood sweetheart in front of me, I was really jealous! Are you a kid? You actually played tricks on me for this reason! I really want... really want to give you a good beating!"
Seeing that Xia Lin was energetic again in front of him, Karon let out a sigh of relief. He stretched out his arms and made a gesture of not resisting whatever Xia Lin did. "Come on! Xiaolin. As long as you forgive me, you can beat me however you like! I'm tough-skinned!"
Xia Lin sighed speechlessly. "I think you're thick-skinned."
Good heavens! Where has that cool, domineering and aloof villain gone? Don't you know you've broken your character? Well, it's my fault. I've increased the love value of the big shot and eliminated his blackening value. It's all my fault!
"I won't beat you! Anyway, it's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. Just don't be so childish next time!"
Karon was greatly relieved. It was really great. He and Xia Lin were back to their old selves. Next time, he would never do anything stupid again.
Karon hugged Xia Lin onto his lap. They hadn't been in such an intimate position for many days. For a moment, both of them felt nostalgic.
Finally, it was Xia Lin who pried Karon's arms apart, jumped off his lap and said, "Okay, Karon. Come with me to a place?"
Karon asked curiously, "Where?"
Xia Lin took Karon's hand and intertwined their fingers. Smiling, he said, "I originally wanted to tell you later, but seeing how uneasy you are now, I'd better take you there earlier."
Now Karon felt a bit ashamed. Looking back, what stupid things had he done? He felt as if his IQ had gone down. No, no. He couldn't be so stupid anymore!
Karon deliberately coughed twice and tried to sound calm. "I'm really looking forward to it, Xiaolin. And I also promise you that I won't do anything stupid again."
Xia Lin kissed the corner of Karon's mouth. "Well, I believe you. Come on, follow me."
Karon was led by Xia Lin. Slowly, they came to a palace. This palace was specifically for the queen's belongings.
Xia Lin took Karon to a room on the third floor. He opened the door and turned on the light. After the light came on, Karon stared blankly at the scene in the room. His memory seemed to go back to that morning.
"Karon, why do you look so strange?"
"It's okay, Xiaolin. I just had a dream."
"What dream? Can you share it with me?"
"It's a bit embarrassing to say. I dreamed that I was in a room full of dolls. Actually, I really liked all kinds of dolls when I was a kid. But my grandfather said it was too childish for a boy to like such things, so he threw all my dolls away. Later, I also thought that as an heir and an emperor, how could I like such things? But later on, I thought it didn't really matter. Why should I care about others' opinions? But all my dolls were gone. Well, I didn't expect to dream about these things last night."
