Chapter 6 I Just Want to Be with You 2
"I know you must be wondering why I insisted on you going back to school tonight."
Of course! This was the biggest question in my mind, and I wanted to ask it clearly when I was sitting in the car.
Luo Zihan did not answer directly, but looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Is Cui Minhe at your house?"
"Yeah, yeah..." I nodded subconsciously, but I felt that Luo Zihan's words were awkward, so I immediately corrected him, "My home is Min Hyuk's home! Min Hyuk just came home to rest for two days after work, how can you say he is at my home? Even if he goes home every day, it is legitimate."
"So, you are very happy?"
"Yes!" I blurted out nonchalantly, "Brother Minhe only comes home once in a long time. Of course I'm happy to see him! Today, I accompanied Brother Minhe to the supermarket to shop. Thank God, no one recognized him... But, Luo Zihan, how did you know that Brother Minhe was resting at home?"
I finally realized the problem. Strange! Really strange! Why did Luo Zihan suddenly care about Brother Minhe? Aren't he and Brother Minhe incompatible?
Luo Zihan frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked at me, a thin layer of frost on his beautiful face.
"I was there when you called your sister. I don't know what you two talked about, but it's certain that Choi Min Hyuk was with you."
I blinked in confusion and asked with a wry smile, "So what? For so many years, Brother Minhe and I have been living under the same roof. We are relatives and cousins. What's wrong with being together on weekends? God knows how much I cherish this rare opportunity to be together, but it was ruined by your 'threat'. Luo Zihan, if you don't give me a legitimate and reasonable reason today, I will never..."
"Then I'll tell you now." He looked at me deeply, put his hands on my shoulders, and said seriously, "I don't want to see you and Choi Min Hyuk together, and I don't want to accept the fact that you and him live under the same roof!"
"So, you're forcing me to go back to school?"
I felt a little amused and wanted to push Luo Zihan away and take a ride home immediately. How could he be so arrogant and self-righteous? He deprived me of the opportunity to spend time with my family just because of his personal wishes. This was really unreasonable!
"Luo Zihan, don't you think you are being too much? Brother Minhe is my cousin, he is my family, we should live together! Sister Shangmei is your cousin, don't you also live together in the Luo family? Why are you..."
"That's different!" Luo Zihan suddenly raised his voice and interrupted me. His dark eyes were as far-reaching as the bright moon in the night sky. "You and Cui Minhe have no blood relationship at all. The feelings between you can also... also transcend family ties. Qianqian, do you understand what I mean?"
I was slightly stunned and looked at Luo Zihan silently, looking at the panic that flashed in his eyes, looking at the nervousness and worry that appeared on his handsome face. I seemed to know what he was thinking.
C He, he wouldn't think that I like Min Hyuk, right?
That's right! I like Min Hyuk, but that kind of feeling is the love and support between family members, the warmth and care that is close to each other, which is completely different from my feelings for Luo Zihan.
Oh my god!
The self-confident and arrogant Master Luo is clearly asking for trouble. Speaking of which, I should be the one who is sad and upset. Luo Zihan already has Shen Jingyu by his side, why does he still care about me so much and make me unable to extricate myself from immersing myself in his unique tenderness?
I gently pulled down Luo Zihan's hand and whispered, "Yes, the relationship between me and Brother Minhe is very deep, so deep that it goes beyond family affection. In my mind, Brother Minhe is a good brother who accompanies me and takes care of me. This feeling that has accumulated over time will exist forever until the day I die, but... a brother is a brother. Even if we are not related by blood, he is the brother I have recognized since childhood, and we are a family member who depends on each other! Luo Zihan, are you too overbearing? I, I don't mind your relationship with Shen Jingyu, but you actually..."
"Yes, I do. I do."
Luo Zihan's brows were getting tighter and tighter. He pulled his hand away, gently held my face, and let me look into his eyes. His deep black eyes were sparkling with starry ripples, containing a passionate emotion that I had never seen before.
"Qianqian, before I made the decision today, I had already dealt with the matter between Jingyu and me, so you don't have to worry too much. I want to tell you that no matter it is threats or coercion, even if you will resent me, I will not change my approach. Just because I want to be with you!"
What?
He, what is he talking about?
I was stunned, my brain stopped thinking in an instant, and my heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of my throat in the next second.
"Luo, Luo Zihan, can you...can you say it again?"
I still couldn't quite believe it, afraid that I had heard it wrong, afraid that everything in front of me would suddenly burst and disappear like bubbles on the sea.
Luo Zihan didn't say anything, but raised his thin lips, smiled faintly, and slowly stroked my cheek with his cool fingertips. Just as I was intoxicated by his smile like a fangirl, he suddenly lowered his head, covered my lips tightly with his thin lips, and kissed me without hesitation... I suddenly opened my eyes wide and stared at him in disbelief. He seemed to feel my gaze, and flicked his fingers to make me close my eyes, then put his arms around my waist and hugged me even tighter.
The warm breath on my lips made my heart beat irregularly again. My eyes were dark, my ears were buzzing, I couldn't see or hear anything, as if there were only me and him in the world... After a long time, Luo Zihan let me go. When our eyes met, we saw each other's blushing cheeks, blurred eyes, and moist lips.
I shyly turned my head away, trying to look away, but I felt as if my face was burning. However, Luo Zihan didn't give me any chance to escape. He smiled and lifted my chin, his dark eyes looking straight into mine, full of affection.
"you you……"
Luo Zihan suppressed his smile, kissed me on the forehead again, and then hugged me tightly in his arms.
"Don't doubt anymore, don't waver anymore, just stay by my side. Rather than making too many unfulfilled promises, I prefer to express my thoughts with actions. Qianqian, I'm confessing to you, are you willing to accept me?"
I leaned against his chest, my body trembling slightly, my heart felt warm, my nose felt sore, a mist of tears filled my eyes, and my throat was choked with sobs, making it impossible to speak.
"flourishing?"
I raised my head from his embrace and said in a thick nasal voice: "Luo Zihan, how did you confess to me? You didn't even say you liked me, how could it be a confession?"
He was stunned, as if a little surprised, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his proud and perfect face.
"Okay, then I'll confess to you once again with my actions."
ah!
I admit defeat, I give up, I raise the white flag of surrender, and can only allow black lines to appear on my forehead as I look at the serious beautiful boy in front of me in awkward silence.
Luo Zihan is indeed a typical man of action. He also expresses his love through actions, such as "I love you" and "I like you". I have never heard of or seen such a thing. However, is it lucky or sad that I fell in love with such a "freak" young master?
So, when Luo Zihan was about to "sneak attack" me again, I nimbly dodged him and put my fingers against his lips.
"Qianqian, you..."
I took a deep breath, gathered my courage, hugged his neck tightly, leaned in close to his ear, and whispered, "Luo Zihan, I like you, I like you very much. This feeling is different from the love I have for Brother Minhe. I... I only like you."
"Oh, I see."
Luo Zihan raised his hand and pressed the back of my head, making me lean closer to him. Our heartbeats seemed to become equally fast, hitting each other's eardrums.
The evening breeze blew in from the window, bringing a hint of coolness.
I curled up in Luo Zihan's arms with a smile on my face, feeling an unprecedented warmth and sweetness. It turns out that being in love with each other is such a wonderful and wonderful feeling. I will definitely use all of myself to protect this precious relationship.
The unexpected confession between Luo Zihan and I made me finally decide to give up the opportunity offered by Shen Jingyu to publish a comic book.
Two days later, I took the initiative to call Shen Jingyu, politely declined her help, and submitted my new work to a well-known comics weekly.
Strangely, Shen Jingyu did not try to keep me or persuade me at all. Instead, she agreed readily and asked me to meet her at Dijing College.
Why?
Why does Shen Jingyu want to see me again?
Inexplicably, I felt a little nervous and uneasy, not knowing what Shen Jingyu had proposed to meet up with. Thinking about it, it seemed that Shen Jingyu and I only had two common topics: comics and Luo Zihan.
However, I have already given up the opportunity to publish a comic book, so the reason why Shen Jingyu met me should be because of Luo Zihan.
The midday sun is shining brightly, filling the campus with golden light.
I walked into the school cafeteria with my schoolbag on my back and had just bought my meal when I saw Bai Yaning waving at me.
"Qianqian, here! Here!"
"Hi, Yaning!"
I responded happily, quickened my pace, walked over to Bai Yaning and sat down next to him.
Bai Yaning raised her elbow and gently bumped me, then smiled slyly and said, "How are you? Are you and Young Master Luo getting along well lately?"
“Ahem!”
I choked on the rice in my mouth and started coughing violently.
"Here you go." Bai Yaning handed me a tissue, his chubby face still full of smiles, "Qianqian, don't get too excited, okay? I know that the person Young Master Luo likes is you, not the eldest lady of the Shen family."
I took a deep breath, smiled disapprovingly, didn't say anything, and continued eating.
Actually, I like Bai Yaning very much and consider her a good friend, but... sometimes, Bai Yaning is more gossipy, so I can't say too much about some things in front of her.
"Qianqian, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Huh?" I turned my head and said with a smile, "As long as I can answer, I will tell you."
Bai Yaning frowned slightly and looked at me with sharp eyes. The smile on her face disappeared at some point and she looked a little solemn.
I rarely see Bai Yaning so serious, and my heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"What's up?"
Bai Yaning leaned close to my ear and lowered her voice, "Yesterday, I overheard a few senior schoolmates secretly talking about the eldest daughter of the Shen family, that is, Young Master Luo's girlfriend Shen Jingyu."
"Well, what's the matter?"
Although Shen Jingyu is not studying at Dijing College, many people are familiar with her, not only because she and Luo Zihan are considered a perfect match in terms of talent and beauty, but also because of the great influence of the Shen Group.
C When Bai Yaning heard what I said, her eyes suddenly widened, she stared at me in shock, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, big enough for a duck egg to fit in.
Is it necessary for her to be so surprised? Just because Shen Jingyu and I both like Luo Zihan, does that mean we must confront each other, attack each other, and be incompatible?
"Qianqian, you are not kidding me, are you?"
I blinked my eyes confusedly and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You, you really don't know?" Bai Yaning grabbed my arm fiercely, frowning even more tightly, "Didn't Master Luo tell you? I heard from the seniors' private discussions that Master Luo seemed to have... formally proposed to break up with Shen Jingyu. The elders of both families are also worried about this, but Master Luo is very determined to break off the engagement with the eldest lady of the Shen family."
What?
Cancel the engagement?
Is this how Luo Zihan handles his relationship with Shen Jingyu?
what to do?
Should I be happy or distressed? I never expected that Luo Zihan would do so much for me.
He is an action-oriented person. Once he makes up his mind, he will put it into practice regardless of the consequences. But I don't want to cause him any trouble, and I don't want him to go against the two elders for me.
"Yaning, are you sure?"
Bai Yaning looked at my expression which was even more surprised than hers. She raised her hand in disbelief and waved it in front of my eyes.
"Qianqian, you... don't scare me."
I sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Yaning, at this point, you still don't believe me? Luo Zihan didn't say anything, and I know nothing about it, so..."
Huh? The school cafeteria seemed to suddenly become quiet, and the atmosphere around it changed.
Bai Yaning patted my shoulder gently and used his eyes to indicate to me what happened behind. I frowned in confusion, turned around slowly, and suddenly froze.
Shin Jung-yu!
She, why is she here?
