Chapter 99: Another Confession
Qiao Susu lowered her eyes, thinking about the fact that she hadn't received any message from Zong Fang in the past few days. Before, he would video call her once a day, and even if she said she was sleepy and wanted to sleep, he would not let her hang up. He just listened to her breathing without saying a word.

cold war?

But for what?

She couldn't understand. Everything was fine.

When she left that day, she took the little lion with her, not only because she wanted to return Luka's child to Luka, but also because she thought that when Zongfang came back and saw that the little lion was missing, he would definitely ask her, and then she could ask him why he left her early that night.

That night, she clearly felt that Zongfang was evasive, and even left early the next day without saying goodbye. This had never happened before. In the past, even if he had work, he would deliberately kiss her awake, and then give her a few instructions before leaving.

Thinking of this, she pressed her forehead a little tiredly, closed her eyes and said to Karl: “No need.”

There has always been a problem between her and Zong Fang, that is, the two have very different views on love. Qiao Sui Sui is a very insecure person. Once she likes someone, she will even unconsciously fall into anxiety and fear of being abandoned. So she has always guarded her heart and will not easily open it to anyone, just because she is worried that she will fall into that kind of uncontrollable anxiety.

Zongfang is a person who is too free-spirited. His strength is the reason why he can be fickle. When he wants something, he will get it by any means necessary. Similarly, when he doesn't want something, he will not allow others to say no.

Qiao Suisui is smart and sensitive enough to have the upper hand in the invisible game with him. But she dare not imagine that if one day she really falls in love with Zongfang, but he is hot and cold towards her and turns away, then will she not even have the qualifications to refuse? His love is a kind of strong and unquestionable love. When he loves you, it is strong and makes you feel like you are falling into the clouds. But what about when he doesn't love you? Can she stand up again after falling off the clouds?
In fact, after coming out of the space with Zong Fang, she had been deliberately ignoring this uneasiness. Until that night, she waited until very late and happily went to the door to greet him when he came back, but what she got was a few words that were very different from the past, and a bucket of cold water completely woke her up.

He is still the moody man, and she is still the coward who dares not love.

The mood of loss had long been adjusted, but the unfulfilled regrets always appeared in her dreams. Qiao Susu fell asleep while thinking about it, and Karl quietly guarded her bedside.

Until the second half of the night, the Huanyan Pill automatically lost its effect.

Karl looked at the slightly pale face of the person on the bed and frowned unconsciously. He reached out and touched her forehead, making sure she was not feverish, before sitting back in the chair. Starlight poured into the room and sprinkled on her bedside. The sleeping person tilted her head slightly, her hand unconsciously placed on her cheek, her fingers curled up. Karl stared at her sleeping face, and somehow quietly put a finger between her curled fingers.

His hands were big, and he had calluses on his palms from holding guns all year round. He gently squeezed her palms, which were soft and small, unlike his own. He also found that her small hand just loosely held his index finger.

Carl knelt beside the bed, playing with her fingers. He rested his head on his arms, his eyes focused and smiling.

He picked up a strand of Qiao Suisui's hair and gently scratched her eyelashes. When he saw her delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, he immediately stopped, afraid of waking her up.

"It would be nice if you could be this well behaved normally."

In the moonlit room, Carl muttered softly to himself.

The next day, when Qiao Suisui woke up, it was already past noon. She ate the nutritious meal that Karl got from somewhere, and wanted to reply to Luka and the others, but she heard Karl say quietly beside her: "I have already informed your favorite husbands. They were on their way last night."

This is a galaxy far away from the Federation. Carl can reach it instantly, but Luka and the others cannot.

When Qiao Susui heard the words 'spoiled husband', her face turned red and she glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense." "What? No? Then the beating I received a few days ago was in vain. None of them have been promoted to regular employees, but they all act as if they are already the first spouse."

The words were so sarcastic that Qiao Suisui couldn't tell whether he was scolding them or herself. So she coughed twice and changed the subject: "Why don't you just take me back? They'll be here for a night, right?"

Okay, okay, you feel sorry for them but you don’t feel sorry for him?
"Do I look like your personal flying ship?"

Qiao Suisui choked and realized that she had not thanked Karl from yesterday to now. It was he who saved her at the critical moment, and it was he who sent her for a physical examination and took care of her from the side. It must be said that her opinion of Karl has changed. She always thought he was careless, but she didn't expect that he was actually very reliable.

"Why are you always like this?"

"What?" Karl raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

"You are very conscientious and thoughtful in your work, but you want others to think you are...

Karl leaned closer to her, his deep voice with a pleasant ending: “What do you think of me?”

". is a bad guy."

After she finished speaking, she bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed to speak out her true feelings.

Unexpectedly, Karl was not angry at all, but laughed loudly beside her bed.

When he had laughed enough, he propped up his chin and looked at Qiao Suisui. He tapped her brow with two fingers together and said in a tone like teaching a child, "Because if others discover your good side, they will always look forward to your good side. I don't want to bear anyone's expectations."

Karl finished speaking, staring straight at Qiao Suisui, his eyes full of the remaining heat after restraint. He gradually stopped smiling, his expression became a little serious, and he looked up at her and said, "But there is one person, I am beginning to hope that she can understand the real me. I want to tell her that I am not that good, but I am not that bad either."

Qiao Susu was stunned and was caught off guard by his burning eyes.

She was not stupid. After that hot pot, she was sure that Karl liked her, but she had never considered him. She just thought he was annoying. At this moment, she was about to say something to politely refuse, but she saw the other party suddenly stand up, then lazily sit on the chair, and look as handsome as usual.

"You don't think that person I'm talking about is you?"

Qiao Susu was stunned. Seeing this man with sparkling eyes and raised eyebrows with a smirk, her ears suddenly turned red and hot. She really thought she had misunderstood.

Karl looked at her little appearance and thought she was so cute. He stretched out his arm and flicked her forehead. It didn't hurt, but it made Qiao Suisui dazed.

"Please tell that person that she doesn't need to feel burdened. I like her, and you can tell her not to worry about my feelings, but don't reject me either."
