287: You’re My Unrivaled Hero

You’re My Unrivaled Hero

Quan Jue and Chi Jiao retraced their steps.0

On the way, Quan Jue did not speak. His expression was indifferent, and no one could read his thoughts.

Chi Jiao could tell at a glance that there was something on his mind.

Just as they were about to walk out of the forest, she stopped in her tracks.

Quan Jue stopped as well. He turned to look at her and finally asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Brother Quan, what's wrong?" Chi Jiao asked instead, staring at him with her big, black, gem-like eyes.

"Nothing," Quan Jue replied indifferently.

"There's something on your mind," Chi Jiao said with certainty. "Brother Quan, don't hide it from me. If you have anything you want to say, just say it. It's not good to keep it in your heart."

Seeing how serious and adorable she was, Quan Jue couldn't help but curl his rose-colored lips.

He reached out to pinch her petite face and whispered, "I'm really alright."

He just felt that since Jiaojiao had so many people protecting her, she didn't need him.

This was not a good feeling.

He selfishly wanted to be the only hero in her heart. Only then could she rely on him wholeheartedly, and he would be the only one in her eyes.

In fact, just now, when Gu Xia had settled everything by himself and didn't need his help at all, that feeling became even stronger.

He wanted to hide Jiaojiao so that only he could see her. It was enough if he was the only one spoiling her.

He could also protect Jiaojiao very well and not have to rely on anyone.

He was just that selfish.

Chi Jiao didn't know what Quan Jue was thinking at all. She raised her hand and held his hand on her face. Then, she stood on tiptoes and gently kissed his thin lips. "Brother Quan, Ding Fu and his younger brother can never speak up anymore. Shen Liao and Gu Xia won't tell anyone that you're an Esper. They can be trusted."

"Do you trust them that much?" Quan Jue lowered his gaze and stared deeply at her.

"We grew up together." Chi Jiao smiled innocently and blinked her dark doe eyes at him. "That's why I believe them."

When Quan Jue heard her words, he instantly felt like he had swallowed several lemons.

The girl's smile looked innocent and pure like a blank piece of paper. It made him feel like his selfish thoughts were dark and perverted.

However, those thoughts were taking root in his heart day by day and could no longer be dispelled.

Quan Jue shifted his gaze elsewhere to hide the dark glint in his eyes. "I understand," he said indifferently.

"Of course, the person I trust the most is still you, Brother Quan." All of a sudden, his arm was hugged by the girl. Quan Jue could clearly feel something soft squeezing against his arm, causing his body to instantly stiffen.

He looked sideways at Chi Jiao and happened to see her looking up at him with admiration.

Immediately after, he heard her speak again.

"After all, every girl can only have one unrivaled hero. Brother Quan, you're my unrivaled hero."

Her soft voice was like a burning star that instantly fell on Quan Jue's heart.

This scene was destined to be engraved in his soul and bones. No matter when he thought of it, it would make him remember what he was feeling right now. His heart was burning hot and his blood was about to boil.

He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the top of her head gently.

Actually, she was his hero.

The unrivaled hero who had saved him from the darkness.
