Song Shengsheng raised her head, looked at him with a puzzled expression, held his face, and blinked: "That's too much."

"Tell me, I want to hear it."

"I told you, will you stop being angry?"

"You speak first."

Song Shengsheng cleared his throat and thought about it seriously.

Seeing that she hadn't been able to explain the reason for a long time, Jiang Yiyu's heart sank. He smiled and said, "Do you think that I am useless in your eyes except for this body?"

"No, don't be anxious. Let me think about my words." Song Shengsheng said to him fiercely, and covered his mouth and nose with her hand. But she was afraid that he couldn't breathe, so she quickly moved her hand down a little, revealing his nose. "This is the first time I've seen someone so straightforwardly want to hear a compliment."

She cleared her throat and said, "Listen carefully, I'm going to start talking."

After many rounds of arguments, Jiang Yiyu had completely lost hope that Song Shengsheng could say something he wanted to hear. He even suspected that this person was deliberately trying to piss him off.

Song Shengsheng looked into his eyes and said seriously, "When I first met you, I was thinking, there is someone in this world who looks exactly like the young male protagonist described in the novel, passionate, handsome, and has a beautiful smile."

Jiang Yiyu frowned, and Song Shengsheng coughed twice. "Sorry, I'm being ridiculous again, but there's nothing I can do. All admiration is probably just based on lust at first... After all, I can't see through you. I can't see into your inner self when we first meet."

Jiang Yiyu sighed.

Song Shengsheng continued, "Later, after spending more time with you, I found you quite interesting. You looked rebellious, and actually you really were, but you were also very contradictory. Anyway, you were very nice to me. You did everything nonchalantly, as if nothing mattered to you. You were different from me, my brother, and everyone else I'd ever met. We were all constrained, but you weren't constrained at all. You were just so cool. You did things I could only imagine."

"When I was in the third year of junior high, I really disliked my homeroom teacher. I didn't like what he said, but I never had the courage to contradict him once like you did. Although you seemed to be living a very depressed life because of your original family, the rebellious and rebellious things you did were all things I could only imagine. You skipped school, skipped classes, fought and went out to play. If you didn't like someone, you could just say it directly without any scruples. It was really great. You released all the things I suppressed."

Jiang Yiyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand down: "And then?"

"And then? Then, you were very popular, and a lot of people liked you, but you ignored them all. Among the girls, you seemed to be the best to me. You smiled at me, bought me a hot pack, and always remembered what snacks I liked. Sometimes you treated me better than my brother. Jiang Yiyu, I love being the exception. I like people to be special and nice to me only. This is the biggest plus point. I like it so much that it can go up to 100 points. Of course, the full score is 1,000."

"So? I satisfied your Chuunibyou soul?"

"What's with the 'Chuunibyou'? That's a misplaced term. Anyway, you're completely different from me and my brother. For example, in my family, although the atmosphere seems good and my parents don't specifically require us to do anything, the etiquette we were taught since childhood has kept us from straying from the norm. We grew up following a routine, living a life like many others, yet shouldering many inherent responsibilities."

"Take my brother for example. You should know that his dream was to become a director. But during your sophomore year of high school, my dad and my brother had a conversation. I don't know what they talked about, but ever since then, my brother has been preparing to go abroad. Look at him now. He's inherited my parents' legacy, spending his days in a suit and tie, dealing with the business world."

Jiang Yiyu frowned even more tightly. "This is the first time I've heard that being unconventional can be a reason to be liked for twelve years."

"Not entirely. Actually, if you really want to know why, I can't really explain it. It's just an inexplicable feeling of attraction. Liking you has become a habit. Seeing you getting better and better makes me happy. When I'm happy, I want to see you even more. The more I see, the more I like you. It's a cycle that seems to have many reasons, but also seems to have no reasons at all. So, tell me, why do you like me?"

Jiang Yiyu was speechless: "Why... why are you pushing the problem back to me? Song Shengsheng, we are discussing your problem now."

"Why do you like me? Isn't that also within the scope of our relationship? Since we are discussing relationship issues now, there is nothing wrong with me asking."

"Okay, you're right."

"Then tell me, why do you like me? When did you start liking me? Don't be shy, tell me, I want to hear it."

Jiang Yiyu said helplessly, "Because... you like me and treat me well. When... maybe after you go to high school? Anyway, I won't like a little brat."

"That's been going on for quite a while. You see, you like me because I'm nice to you, so you like me. I like you because you're different and nice to me, so I like you. Isn't that pretty smooth? It's a two-way street! Case solved."

She stood up and sat back next to Jiang Yiyu, then took another sip of Coke. "Since we're going both ways, there's no reason to be angry. Think about it, I've been secretly in love with you for twelve years, and now I'm marrying you. It's like my secret love has come true, a happy ending. Have you ever seen an emperor in history who, after going through so much hardship, said he didn't want to sit on the throne anymore? In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang and his disciples went through 81 trials and tribulations to obtain the scriptures, and they were still too precious to return to us. How could Tang Sanzang say he didn't want the scriptures anymore?"
