Chapter 158 Qin Zhuo's Confession

She put down her chopsticks, a satisfied smile on her lips, and said, "Little Yuzu, I'm done eating."

However, Yuka was absorbed in her own little world and did not react at all. She just sat there blankly with a vacant look in her eyes.

Qin Zhuo frowned in confusion, his gaze falling on Youxiang, "Little Youzi."

Yuxiang then snapped out of her daze and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Zhuo smiled helplessly and pointed to the bedside table in front of him. "I've already finished eating."

Yu Xiang then realized what was happening and immediately stood up, hurriedly clearing away the dishes and chopsticks on the table before placing the tray steadily on the bedside table.

Qin Zhuo leaned against the headboard, looking at Youxiang with interest, and asked, "What were you daydreaming about just now? You were so engrossed that you didn't even hear me calling you."

Yu Xiang, who was putting away the bedside table, heard Qin Zhuo's words and her ear tips turned bright red, as if they had been roasted by fire.

She lowered her head guiltily, "I wasn't thinking about anything."

Actually, she was just staring at Qin Zhuo in a daze, thinking he was suddenly very handsome.

Seeing Youxiang's attempt to cover up her misunderstanding, Qin Zhuo's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Then, he suddenly reached out and pulled Yu Xiang into his arms.

Yu Xiang, who had just placed the bedside table, was startled by Qin Zhuo's sudden action and her body froze instantly.

She looked up, glaring angrily at Qin Zhuo, "What are you doing? You scared me."

Qin Zhuo moved slightly closer to Youxiang's face, their noses almost touching, and whispered, "Were you staring at me in a daze just now?"

Yu Xiang's face flushed red instantly, like a ripe apple.

She frantically reached out to push Qin Zhuo away, denying, "I didn't!"

Qin Zhuo took the opportunity to grasp Youxiang's hand, holding her small hand tightly in his own palm, and chuckled softly, his laughter deep and melodious.

Yu Xiang was somewhat embarrassed and angry. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Zhuo suddenly leaned down and gently covered Yu Xiang's mouth with his.

Yuka's eyes widened instantly, like a startled fawn, filled with astonishment.

She was taken advantage of!

What should she do?

Should we beat up that pervert Zhuozhuo now?

Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang, whose thoughts had wandered off somewhere, and helplessly bit Youxiang's lips lightly before slowly letting go.

Yuka then realized what was happening and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling with grievance. "If you bite me, it will hurt."

Qin Zhuo gently stroked Youxiang's lips, his eyes filled with tenderness and love, "Is this all you're saying at a time like this?"

Yuka looked bewildered and tilted her head, asking, "Huh? What should I say?"

Looking at her, Qin Zhuo couldn't help but lightly peck Youxiang a few more times, then looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "I like you."

Having survived a near-death experience, he was filled with regret.

He regretted not telling Xiaoyouzi how he felt. What a regret it would be if he really left like this.

Now that he is not dead, he doesn't want to leave any regrets. He wants to let Xiaoyouzi know his feelings.

Yu Xiang tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with a touch of innocence, "Yes, I like Zhuo Zhuo too."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhuo's eyes seemed to be ignited like stars, gradually becoming tinged with brilliant starlight, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

But the next second, Yuxiang's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing his joy.

Yu Xiang tilted her head, counted on her fingers, and said seriously, "I also like Yan Yan, Yue Yue, Uncle... They are all so good to me and have always taken care of me."

Qin Zhuo's smile froze instantly. He hurriedly raised his hand, making a stop gesture, and said, "Stop. I'm not talking about that kind of liking. I like you in the way that's romantic, the kind of liking that makes me want to spend my life with you and walk hand in hand through every difficult moment of the apocalypse. Do you like me like that?"

Qin Zhuo spoke so bluntly that even if Youxiang was slow to understand, she would completely comprehend it at this moment.

Her already rosy cheeks turned even redder, as if they had been roasted by fire.

She instinctively pushed Qin Zhuo away with all her might. Because she was in such a panic, she used a little more force, and Qin Zhuo was pushed back a little.

Yuka stood up, her eyes filled with panic. Holding the tray, she hurriedly fled as if something terrible was chasing her.

Qin Zhuo was eagerly awaiting Youxiang's answer when she suddenly made a move, and for a moment she didn't react in time to stop her.

He stared blankly at the door that had been slammed shut with a bang, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Was he rejected?

Could it be that Xiaoyouzi only has that kind of friendly affection for him?

Qin Zhuo's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Meanwhile, Yuka, carrying a tray, leaned against the wall of the corridor, breathing heavily, her chest heaving with tension.

After calming down a bit, Yuxiang frowned and muttered to herself, "Why did I run away just now? Zhuozhuo said she likes me, and I... I don't think I hate this feeling."

She patted her face, trying to clear her head.

"Little Yuzu, what are you doing standing here?"

Bai Chi came to find You Xiang to discuss something. Bronson was busy cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, so Qiao Yue offered to help Bronson find You Xiang.

She went up to the third floor and immediately saw Yuxiang standing outside.

Yu Xiang was startled by Qiao Yue's sudden shout. Her body trembled slightly, and she stammered, "I...I'm fine, I was just about to go downstairs."

Qiao Yue stared intently at You Xiang, as if trying to discern something from her face, and asked, "Why is your face so red?"

Yu Xiang's eyes darted away, and she fanned herself with her hand. "Isn't it hot today? I'm hot."

Qiao Yue raised an eyebrow and said with a doubtful look, "Oh, really?"

Seeing that Qiao Yue wasn't going to let her off easily, Youxiang quickly changed the subject, saying, "That's how it is. By the way, what brings you up here?"

Qiao Yue thought for a moment and decided that now was not the time to press for answers, so she went along with what she said and said, "Bai Chi was looking for you, but because it was too hot, we didn't make him wait outside. He's downstairs."

Seeing that Qiao Yue had been successfully diverted from the topic, Youxiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll go find him."

After saying that, Yuxiang hurriedly went downstairs, her flustered steps revealing the turmoil in her heart.

Qiao Yue watched Youxiang's hurried departure, touched her chin, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Once Xiaoyouzi is done with her work, she'll have to interrogate her properly.
