Chapter 9 The Gossip King's Counterattack Part 2
I felt so awkward that I could only lower my head, and counted my fingers in shame. After taking deep breaths again and again to cheer myself up, I finally mustered up the courage to look up and face the confused Joseph in front of me.
"Why did you accept Rosa's challenge? Aren't you the most afraid of horses?" I asked nervously. Why would you agree to a race that you have no chance of winning just for me?
Hearing this, Joseph was startled at first, and then he laughed softly. His laugh was so warm that it melted into my heart, moistening me silently.
"Do you know why I pushed you away without caring about my own safety when we were little?" Joseph asked with a smile, his eyes looking into the distance, as if recalling some beautiful scene.
I shook my head in confusion. The incident happened suddenly and I had no time to dodge. If it weren't for Joseph, I would probably have been disfigured!
"Actually, I fell in love with you since the first time I saw you!" Joseph looked at me sincerely and said, his deep eyes showing my blushing and helpless look.
"I remember it was a sunny morning, my parents said they would take me to visit a kind grandfather. When I arrived at Grandpa Wen's house, a cute little princess in a beautiful puffy skirt bumped into my arms. It turned out that Grandpa Wen didn't allow her to eat candy because of tooth decay, but the greedy girl secretly grabbed a handful of candy and wanted to hide in the room to eat enough. I was fascinated by the little princess who was like an elf at that time, and I secretly gave all the candy that Grandpa Wen gave me to the little princess.
"Later, my parents and I went to Grandpa Wen's house more often, and I gradually became familiar with this little princess. At that time, I learned that the little princess's parents had passed away, and Grandpa Wen doted on her, which is why she developed a habit of getting into trouble. However, I felt that the little princess had lost the love and protection of her parents, and as her knight, I should take on the obligation to protect her and wait for her.
“So, from now on, I will take the blame for any trouble the little princess causes without hesitation. Even if I have to be beaten, I will protect the little princess from any blame.
"One day, the little princess excitedly said that she wanted to take me to her family's horse farm to witness the important moment when her foal was branded with an iron shoe. I was flattered. However, the staff at the horse farm would not let us in. During the struggle, the red-hot iron shoe fell to the ground, and the little princess accidentally fell to the ground. Seeing that the little princess's cute face was about to come into close contact with the iron shoe, I didn't have time to think and pushed the little princess away. From then on, I became the laughing stock of everyone."
Hearing this, I looked at Joseph in disbelief. His expression was as gentle as the moonlight. The little princess he was talking about...was it me?
"But, making such a big fool of myself in front of the girl I like is definitely an indelible stain in my life! All my friends made fun of me and nicknamed me Huos. I felt that I seemed to have turned into a ridiculous donkey in front of the little princess. It was really embarrassing. From then on, 'Huslau' became a nightmare that made me feel creepy whenever I thought about it. And I also felt that I really didn't have the courage to appear in front of the little princess again. Later, my parents returned to their country to develop, and I followed them back. Therefore, there was no news of the little princess anymore." Joseph said, smiling helplessly, looking at me affectionately, as if in his eyes, I finally overlapped with the little princess in my childhood.
I lowered my head in embarrassment. I felt my face was so hot, as if some steam was making me dizzy.
"Suddenly one day, a mysterious young lady made a high-profile appearance at Ande College. Seeing her in a gorgeous puffy skirt, the smiling face of the little princess in my mind reappeared before my eyes. I curiously followed her to see, but a horse bit off my pants in public. The nightmare from my childhood haunted me again. I began to reject this young lady, but she inexplicably haunted me like a ghost. The pride of being relied on and needed as a child returned to my life. By the time I found that I had habitually taken on all the troubles she caused and realized that I couldn't take my eyes off her, her every frown and smile had already been engraved in my heart."
I was completely stunned. Did I hear it wrong? Joseph, is he making a passionate confession to me? He confessed his love to me in public, not because he accepted an impossible task to prevent Baron Rosa from succeeding; not because he wanted to prove himself, but because from beginning to end, I lived in his heart and eyes. He liked me and loved me, when I was a child, and now!
Oh God! Oh Angels! Oh Mary !
Aren’t you too attached to me?
This happiness came too suddenly, didn't it?
"So!" Seeing that I was still in a daze, Joseph pinched my nose helplessly but lovingly, "This must be God's arrangement. No matter how I try to escape, I, Joseph, am destined to be your knight, Wen Feili, in this life!"
"Hehehe!" I smiled foolishly, blushing and lowering my head shyly, scratching my head.
"Instead of running away all the time, you might as well face up to your past and your nightmares. Only by facing them bravely can you be invincible, right?" Joseph looked at me and swore solemnly, with flames flashing in his eyes, as if he had already decided that even if he had to go through fire and water for me, he would not hesitate!
"Yeah!" I nodded in shock. He is not fighting alone. No matter what happens, I will face it with him!
"Perhaps my status and position are not worthy of you, but please allow me to be your guardian angel. Even if I cannot get your favor in this life, at least let me protect you from harm in the first time when you are in trouble or trouble." Joseph suddenly became depressed again. Looking at his watery eyes that suddenly lost their luster, my heart was filled with heartache.
What is Joseph talking about? What do you mean he is not worthy of me? The only person in this world who is worthy of me is Joseph!
"Who, who, who said you are not worthy of me? I will definitely help you win the game !" I blushed and said, then ran away shyly. Joseph is such a big fool, I can remember his face when I first met him, in fact, it is because the "little princess" in his childhood also liked the angelic "little brother" all the time!
