How could she not know how likable she was?Even Zhong Chufeng was crazy in love with her!
Why does she keep worrying that no one would want her in the future?
“I don’t care. A promise is a promise. I have written down what you said earlier.”
Although Tang Yuanyuan knew her actions were scoundrel, she was afraid that if she didn’t take the chance now, she might lose her chance in the future.
Yuchi Yishu paused for a moment. After a long silence, he flicked her forehead.
“I’m sure somebody would want you.”
Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes which were sparkling brightly as the stars in the sky suddenly became dark after listening to his words. She stood and looked at him pitifully.
“Is it… because you don’t have feelings for me?”
Yuchi Yishu was at a loss for words.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you really don’t have feelings for me? Or is it because my request was too much? If it’s not because of my request, then it is because you already have a girlfriend now?”
Yuchi Yishu was thunderstruck.
She was fine earlier. Why did she suddenly become so emotional?
Yuchi Yishu did not understand Tang Yuanyuan’s emotional management issue. He didn’t even say anything, nor did he deny anything she said, but she was already making a fuss about it.
Tang Yuanyuan thought about it, and her eyes became a little red. She then bit her lower lip while staring at him.
“You must be thinking about how unreasonable I am, right?”
“No, I am not. Why would I think so?”
Yuchi Yishu had a slight headache. He really didn’t know how to deal with Tang Yuanyuan crying, but when he felt sorry for her when she tried to hold her tears back. He held her small hands and pulled her toward himself.
“Don’t cry, I’m sorry for saying the wrong thing.”
Things might have been better if he didn’t say those words. Tang Yuanyuan couldn’t stop her tears when she heard him, and her tears were streaming down her face from the corner of her eyes.
Yesterday when Tang Yuanyuan held onto Yuchi Yishu’s waist and cried like that, he felt so anxious, as if his soul had been drawn from his body. It took him a long time before he regained his senses.
It was the same thing today. He started to panic when he saw her crying.
Tang Yuanyuan cried so badly. In fact, she didn’t want to cry. She felt that she was an adult and she should grow up. Or else, Yishu would say that she would always be a child to him.
Tang Yuanyuan knew she should be more mature, but when she heard Yishu saying that there would definitely be someone that would want her, she just felt like he was rejecting her.
Then she suddenly couldn’t help but cry. Now she felt that she was being too corny, but she could only keep crying and wiping her tears.
Yuchi Yishu started to help wipe her tears off, but he ended up with more of it. In the end, Yuchi Yishu could only reach out to cup her fair small cheeks and said gently. “I didn’t say I don’t like you, and I didn’t say I don’t want you either. Why did you suddenly start to cry? Even if you were to be sentenced, you should be given a justified sentence right?”
Tang Yuanyuan sniffled. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.
“Okay, stop crying.” Yuchi Yishu spoke in agony, “If you continue to cry like this, I really don’t know what else I should do.”
Hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan sniffed and suddenly reached out her fingers to point at her own cheeks.
Yuchi Yishu squinted his eyes. He didn’t understand what she meant.
Tang Yuanyuan’s tears started to fall again when she saw that he had no reaction.
“Okay, don’t cry. I will do whatever you ask me to. I can even give you my life if that’s what you want.”
“Really?” Tang Yuanyuan murmured. Although her body was still tremoring, her tears seem to have stopped. Yuchi Yishu let out a sigh of relief.
“Yes. It’s for real. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?”
Tang Yuanyuan repeated the action she did earlier by pointing toward her cheeks again. Yuchi Yishu still couldn’t get what she was trying to say, so he pursed his lips for a moment and asked. “What do you mean by that?”
Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes were in tears, and she said in a grieving tone, “Give me a kiss.”
Yuchi Yishu was taken aback. He didn’t know how to react.
“You don’t want to?”
Hearing that, Yuchi Yishu gulped and took her hands and said seriously. “Yuanyuan, listen to me, you are still too young, so…”
“I’m no longer a child!” Tang Yuanyuan grumbled and tried to shake Yuchi Yishu’s hand off. As she struggled, she said, “I’m an adult now! You even gave me an adult gift yesterday, did you forget about it?”
It was true that she was already an adult. However, in the eyes of Yuchi Yishu, she was still the little girl that he grew up with. He could pamper her anyhow she wanted, but to do this…
He really couldn’t bring himself to do it. He felt that he would be a beast if he did that. If he really kissed her, he would really be nothing but a beast.
Seeing Yuchi Yishu pursing his thin lips without making a move, Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes darkened. “I’m clearly an adult now, why won’t you do it? Do you really dislike me?”
Yuchi Yishu coughed slightly and tried to find another way to explain to Tang Yuanyuan.
“Silly girl, this is something that can only be done by couples. You…”
“You shall be my boyfriend then.”
Then, Tang Yuanyuan wrapped her arms around Yuchi Yishu’s neck, expressing her feelings enthusiastically and straightforwardly. “When you gave me the necklace yesterday, I gave you a kiss too. You didn’t reject the kiss at that moment, and I thought you liked me too.”
Speaking about last night’s kiss on the ferris wheel, Yuchi Yishu had a headache. It was because of her behavior that he wasn’t able to have a good night’s sleep.
Whenever he tried to close his eyes, Tang Yuanyuan’s shy face would appear before him. Her enlarged eyes, soft lips… and the disturbing sound of water flowing in the bathroom.
Only God knew how Yuchi Yishu managed to overcome the thoughts he had last night. The suffering was unbearable.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought he was a beast.
It was true that Yuanyuan really had feelings for him. He had also indeed kept his promise and didn’t find a girlfriend until she became an adult.
But he thought that they both should at least have a period of transition, which meant giving Yuanyuan a period of time to know more about her own feelings.
Maybe she would come to realize that her feelings toward him were just the feelings of dependency on him as a brother, instead of the romance between men and women.
But the time was yet to come. What if she regrets in future when I really agree to be her boyfriend or kiss her now?
Yuchi Yishu’s concept of love was different from the others.
He didn’t want to keep changing partners just to see whether they were meant to be.
His concept on love was, once he chose a person to be his partner, he would never let her go, and he would only take her as his partner for his whole life.
He was afraid that his concept might scare her.
That was why Yuchi Yishu wanted to give her a period for self-transition, but he didn’t expect her to be so nervous.
“Yishu?” Tang Yuanyuan had her arms wrapped around his neck for a long time. Seeing that he was silent for so long, she took a step back and happened to meet his dark gaze that was filled with mixed emotions.
