Ren Jianmo looked at Ji Dong.
“Do you want to know?” he asked.
Ji Dong nodded vigorously, his expression very serious.
Ren Jianmo smiled slightly again.
The effects of [Dr. D’s Universal Enhancement Elixir] on Ren Jianmo were completely different from the effects on the other four.
His lost memories had been a complete mystery until now, but in the previous [Films], his mental and physical abilities had been gradually recovering.
Every time he traveled between the [Films] and the [Peach Blossom Spring], Ren Jianmo felt like his body was a reservoir. On the surface, it may appear there was no change, but the capacity at the bottom of the pool kept expanding. Even the two different abilities that were previously difficult to use simultaneously due to their overwhelming power were now starting to coexist harmoniously as the “water” kept accumulating.
And that snow-white pill, for him, was like digging a few shovelfuls deep into his power reservoir. It gave him a significant breakthrough in the stagnant water level at the bottleneck, saving him a lot of effort.
Although Ren Jianmo understood that his current strength was still far from his previous peak, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that one day he would return to his former level, and become even more formidable.
He couldn’t accurately describe his feelings to Ji Dong.
Before he considered himself powerful enough, he didn’t plan on revealing too many details to his new companions, even in front of this child. Ren Jianmo wanted to keep his cards close to his chest and avoid unnecessary danger under the watchful eyes of the [Peach Blossom Spring].
But although some things couldn’t be said, a harmless demonstration wouldn’t hurt.
So Ren Jianmo sat down next to Ji Dong.
He asked Ji Dong to look at him.
“My abilities have become stronger.”
Ren Jianmo used his finger to brush aside the bangs that were hanging over Ji Dong’s eyes. “For example, now I can use it like this…”
As he spoke those words, the black iris of his right eye faded into a light amber color, almost golden.
At the same time, Ji Dong’s mind went blank.
He knew that Ren Jianmo was using his abilities on him again.
Ji Dong didn’t feel scared or resistant. On the contrary, he felt a strong, inexplicable sense of trust and reliance on Ren Jianmo, as if it was deeply rooted in his subconscious.
At that moment, his sense of autonomy seemed to detach from his mind when he looked into the other person’s eyes. It was as if his thoughts were occupied by someone else’s, and no matter what the other person asked him to say or do, Ji Dong would unquestioningly comply.
Sure enough, he heard Ren Jianmo’s voice in his mind.
[I like you.]
Ji Dong stared blankly into Ren Jianmo’s eyes, opened his mouth, and mechanically repeated those words:

“I like you.”

——I just said “I like you” to Ren Jianmo!!
He quickly sat up, feeling both embarrassed and awkward. His gaze wandered, unable to meet Ren Jianmo’s eyes directly.
After a moment of confusion, Ji Xiao’niao suddenly realized that he had once again been teased by the mischievous Ren Jianmo.
“You– You did that on purpose!”
Ji Dong, now infuriated and embarrassed, lunged towards Ren Jianmo.
“Is it fun to play with me!?”
He used a move he had just learned today, grabbing Ren Jianmo’s shoulder, flipping him over, and pinning him down. Then he climbed on top of him, using his elbow to press against Ren Jianmo’s throat.
“You did that on purpose, right!?”
Ren Jianmo allowed Ji Dong to vent his frustration onto him, not resisting at all. Instead, he relaxed his body, letting the kid do as he pleased, whatever antics he wanted to pull.
“What did I do?”
He asked with a smile,
“I was just showing you my new ability earlier.”
Ji Dong was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of his seven orifices.
Just now, he experienced the ability that Ren Jianmo displayed. It felt like a kind of mental connection and manipulation. Even without speaking, just through eye contact, Ren Jianmo could control his body and make him produce the sounds and words he wanted.
Ji Xiao’niao believed that Ren Jianmo’s ability must be far more than just controlling someone to say a few words.
But why did he have to make him say that life-threatening “I like you” phrase as a demonstration?
“So you just had to make me confess first, huh!?”
Looking at Ren Jianmo’s effortlessly smiling face, a small flame of anger ignited in Ji Dong’s heart, rising three feet high.
When he couldn’t win by fighting or out-arguing, and didn’t know what to do with his anger, Ji Xiao’niao’s anger would surge from his heart. So he boldly lowered his head and took a bite on Ren Jianmo’s lips.
Thanks to someone’s previous careful guidance, this time Ji Dong finally knew that when kissing, he couldn’t just use his lips and teeth.
Since he made the first move… no, the first move with his mouth, Ji Xiao’niao was determined to take the initiative.
So while recalling—he imitated the techniques that Ren Jianmo had used on him before—using his tongue to pry open the teeth, delving deep into enemy territory, capturing and conquering, and using his own sloppy experience to tease the other person’s tongue.
With a smile on his lips, Ren Jianmo closed his mismatched eyes, one hand holding Ji Xiao’niao’s shoulder, the other supporting the back of his head, fully engaged in the intertwining of lips and tongues with the little bird.
The two of them went back and forth as if competing with each other, neither willing to stop first.
Ji Xiao’niao was kissed so intensely that he couldn’t catch his breath several times. He had to strategically retreat, breaking free to take a breath. But thinking about it, he didn’t want to show weakness, so he actively pounced again, biting onto Ren Jianmo’s crimson lips…
Finally, ten minutes later, both of them had to stop.
Because if they continued kissing, their bodies’ awkward reactions would be impossible to hide anymore.
They separated and looked at each other, seeing a different kind of emotion on each other’s faces.
Ji Xiao’niao closed his legs tightly, sitting up straight, trying to conceal the slightly outlined area as he lowered his head to wipe away the water stains from the corners of his mouth. He took the opportunity to press his hot cheek against the back of his hand, trying to calm himself down.
“You jerk!”
Even though they had kissed, this round between the two of them didn’t determine the winner. So Ji Xiao’niao, still holding a grudge, was still thinking about what happened before.
“Do you just want to hear me confess?” he huffed, glaring at Ren Jianmo. “You knew I liked you, but you never responded!”
Ji Xiao’niao felt more and more like he was at a disadvantage:
“We’ve… kissed several times, but you never told me what you think!”
Ren Jianmo reached out and gently rubbed his swollen, moist lips with his fingertips.
“But, I distinctly remember that I confessed first.”
Ji Dong: “???”
As Ren Jianmo said those words, his unique dual-colored eyes stared unwaveringly at Ji Xiao’niao. His gaze was particularly sincere, and his expression unusually innocent. It made Ji Dong freeze, and his mind involuntarily started desperately trying to recall if he had missed any important details.
Wondering and pondering, he just couldn’t remember when and where Ren Jianmo had supposedly “confessed” to him.
——Could it be that he said it in the previous while I was asleep?
——But can that be even counted?
Ji Dong had even made such speculations.
“I confessed first.”
Ren Jianmo looked at Xiao’niao’s furrowed brows and thoughtful expression, feeling a playful sense of delight as if teasing a small animal.
“You forgot, just a moment ago, I was the one who said ‘I like you’ in your mind, and then you repeated it.”
Ji Dong: “!!!”
Yeah, he should have thought of that earlier!
The person he liked was a mischievous jerk who always took advantage of him!
Ji Xiao’niao was so furious that his hair was standing on end, even the tips, due to static electricity. He almost couldn’t control his emotions and generated an electric arc. “But you didn’t even open your mouth!”
Upon hearing this, Ren Jianmo let out a gentle sigh.
“Do you not consider that as a confession?”
He reached out his hand, pulling Ji Dong into his embrace. Then, he lowered his head, his lips brushing against Ji Dong’s ear, and spoke in a soft tone with a hint of breathiness. Each word was enunciated clearly:
“I like you.”
Ji Dong gasped, his body stiffening as he held his breath.
“I like you, Xiao’niao. I like you.”
Ren Jianmo’s confession continued, “I want to be with you in the future too.”
Ji Xiao’niao felt like his bones were turning into jelly.
Ren Jianmo wasn’t someone who usually talked a lot.
On the contrary, when he was in the team, he often preferred to remain silent, listening to others’ opinions first, and then, at crucial moments, expressing his views concisely and clearly. Many times, it had been proven that his opinions were correct.
So, this was the first time Ji Dong heard him tell him, “I like you” repeatedly in one breath.
But Ren Jianmo felt that he hadn’t said enough.
Next, he leaned in close to Ji Dong’s ear and poured out sweet words like they were free, one after another.
His words were not fancy, but they were straightforward, using the most direct language to tell Ji Dong that he had fallen in love with him.
From now on, in addition to being companions in life and death, the two of them would form a more intimate bond.
They would be a pair of lovers.
Ji Xiao’niao felt like a stiff wooden carving, resting his forehead on Ren Jianmo’s shoulder. His body was burning hot with excitement, like a branding iron. Besides Ren Jianmo’s sweet words, the only sound in his ears was the pounding of blood rushing through his eardrums.
For someone who didn’t talk much, once they started speaking sweet words, it was completely irresistible. Especially when the person speaking was so good-looking, and happened to be the object of his admiration and longing.
“Alright, alright!”
Ji Dong felt that if he kept listening, he would spontaneously combust right then and there.
“I understand! I understand!”
He was so embarrassed that he couldn’t contain himself, so he ended up directly covering Ren Jianmo’s mouth, “I– I like you too!”
As Ji Dong nibbled on his lover’s lips, he mumbled and confessed:
“It was me… who fell for you first…”
SO DAMN CUTE
