After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain Chapter 71: Go to My Place

The mont those words left her mouth, the car fell into sudden silence.

The man stared calmly at the traffic ahead, his expression unchanged, but inside, waves were crashing violently. His hands tightened on the steering wheel.

Online dating?

To Bo Jingmo, that was a distant and unfamiliar term.

Since childhood, he had never loved anyone. Especially during his episodes, it was like he lost all perception of love, becoming nothing more than a machine for killing.

But now… things were different.

When he wasn’t thinking clearly, he would fall in love with a mysterious NPC. Even though his feelings for won now were vague at best, reality kept reminding him over and over again.

Was that considered online love?

Bo Jingmo’s throat tightened. He couldn’t bring himself to say no, but he also didn’t want to admit in front of this girl that he’d really fallen for soone inside a ga.

It was him who fell for that NPC… and yet, also not him.

For the first ti, Bo Jingmo found himself hoping he truly had no awareness inside the ga. That way, he could openly—even irresponsibly—say:

“No, I didn’t fall in love with anyone in the ga.”

It was just the insane version of himself that fell for her. It was that woman’s sweet, tempting blood that seduced him—it had nothing to do with the real him.

When he was sober, he had never… been moved by that woman.

But… was that really true?

If he hadn’t been moved, then why did he allow her to take that photo? Why did he go along with her little “ga” in his dream, even let himself be lured into another episode?

Thinking back on it now, Bo Jingmo suddenly couldn’t tell what his feelings really were…

Was it love?

Then what did his current attitude toward this girl an?

His jaw clenched tighter, and his face turned colder. The muscles in his arms tensed with suppressed emotion.

He could pine over an NPC in the ga, yet the mont Yu Li showed up in real life, that woman’s image completely disappeared from his mind.

If she hadn’t brought it up just now, he might’ve forgotten Qing Li even existed.

Sensing the man’s silence, the girl chuckled considerately, “I was just asking, Senior. But I guess most people do—who hasn’t liked soone in a ga before?”

Bo Jingmo’s gaze froze. His foot instinctively tapped the brake, then quickly let up.

“…Liked?”

He repeated those three syllables softly, his gaze turning icy. That gentle, aloof deanor cracked for the first ti.

In that instant, all thoughts of NPCs, episodes, and questions of love were thrown out the window.

He didn’t turn his head. Still watching the traffic, he asked slowly, “…You liked soone in the ga?”

“Yeah, still do.”

She answered without hesitation, propping her chin on her hand as her eyes curved in a smile. “But we haven’t t in real life yet. No idea when that’ll happen.”

It wasn’t technically a lie—she hadn’t had a proper face-to-face eting with her “rabid little dog” in reality. Even with her aura hidden, with how sensitive he was to her scent, he’d definitely recognize her.

So she had to keep Bo Jingmo stable for now, make sure he didn’t run into any episode triggers.

But to Bo Jingmo, her words ant sothing very different. His pupils shrank, and he blurted out:

“You want to et him in real life??”

The girl turned toward him, confused. “Why not?”

“…It’s not safe.”

Bo Jingmo’s gaze darkened. He released the steering wheel and dug his nails hard into his palm—only the pain kept his composure from slipping.

He tried to force a smile, but the emotion weighing him down made it nearly impossible.

“You said it yourself—it’s just… liking, not a relationship. eting up suddenly like that isn’t safe for a girl.”

The word liking ca out a bit stiff, like he’d been forced to say it, full of unwillingness.

“Oh? Is that so?” the girl said cheerfully. “Senior, you’re so thoughtful! You actually kind of have a point.”

Just as Bo Jingmo’s tightly wound nerves started to ease slightly, she asked curiously, “Then by that logic, Senior—you wouldn’t et up with soone you liked from a ga, either?”

Bo Jingmo: “……”

Here we go again.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally muttered in a strange tone, “I’d respect her.”

Pfft.

Yu Li laughed silently, lifting her eyes lazily. “So there is soone you like, huh, Senior~”

Bo Jingmo’s face stiffened: “……”

When they got out of the car, his face was still terrible, but he couldn’t let it show in front of Yu Li. That suffocating frustration had to stay bottled up inside.

He walked alongside her, but couldn’t feel even a shred of joy. He couldn’t explain himself—not even one sentence.

Still, they had to eat. He sliced the steak in front of him, then swapped plates with her. The gesture was smooth and natural.

Yu Li curved her eyes in a smile and accepted his kindness without refusal. “Thank you, Senior.”

After everything that just happened, she figured it was ti to let him have a chance to shine.

Seeing her eat the food he cut for her, the heavy mood in Bo Jingmo’s chest finally started to lift. He smiled faintly. “As long as you like it.”

The little system was practically gasping in amazent.

It had been worried that with Yu Li jumping back into this world and Bo Jingmo having mory loss, completing the mission would be hard.

But turns out the guy was basically clinging to her like a lost puppy.

The system flipped through screenshots of old livestream comnts and gave a confident nod.

Yes! That’s the word—

Desperate.

Bo Jingmo is acting desperate!

The al thoroughly satisfied the emptiness in Yu Li’s stomach over the past few days.

Leaning back in her chair with a drink in hand, her eyes curved in visible delight. Her jet-black hair rested against her cheeks, and she looked like a lazy, pampered cat. Even the light red flush at the corners of her eyes hadn’t faded—utterly tempting.

Bo Jingmo’s gaze darkened again. His fingers rubbed lightly together, as if he could still feel the softness of her waist.

Honestly, he regretted not hugging her a little longer earlier.

Yu Li caught his reaction, sipping through her straw as her eyes narrowed slightly. She felt a little regret too.

This was the perfect mont for flirting—sha it wasn’t the right ti.

Still, these little gas weren’t too bad.

She set down her cup, blinked a few tis, and looked at the man. “Senior, that job you ntioned earlier—what exactly would I be doing?”

Bo Jingmo paused, then replied, “It’s just tutoring a kid in my family. He’s in elentary school, a bit naughty, not really into studying. His parents asked to help, but I haven’t had the ti.”

“Sure.”

It was way easier than being a waitress—no reason for Yu Li to say no. “When do you need ? Should I go to his place?”

Bo Jingmo nodded. He tapped the table as if rembering sothing, his gaze flickering slightly. He spoke slowly, “You can go whenever you’re free. As for the location… the kid’s living at my place for now. His parents are both busy with work, so just co to my house.”

Seeing the silence on Yu Li’s face, he smiled gently, his elegant, cool deanor making it hard to read too much into the offer.

He even politely added, “If you think that’s a bit inappropriate, we can do it at a hotel each ti instead. I just figured, if you co to my place, I can give you a ride ho too. Saves ti, and travel costs.”

Yu Li: “……”

The real question is…

And doing it at a hotel is more appropriate?
