“Is it strange?” Bai Zhiyan chuckled. “I feel that they have a close relationship and a great understanding. Only people who have known each other for many years can have such a good understanding.”

"Then what about us?" Before Bai Zhiyi could finish speaking, Bai Zhiyan interrupted her with a gesture.

"I can't say much. I didn't expect the other party to be an acquaintance. But this makes things even more difficult. We can't give ourselves away for now. He's too smart. His eyes always make people feel like he knows everything. We can't offend him." Bai Zhiyan's appearance here was not accidental. She came with a mission.

She was initially confident that she could easily complete the task, but that was wishful thinking. Things should be planned more carefully.

After Song Tantan returned, she grabbed Song Zhuiyan and was about to leave. She decided to part ways with Ye Moxun and go their separate ways, ignoring each other completely.

She was furious.

"What's wrong? Let's talk this out. What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging? Be gentle. My body is precious right now, and I'm carrying a precious baby in my belly." Song Zhuiyan stood still. This girl went out for a while and came back acting crazy. Did A-Xun make her angry again?

“Then I’ll carry you down, or I can carry you on my back, as long as we get going quickly and don’t end up with Ye Moxun,” Song Tantan said, getting even angrier when she saw her aunt standing there as steady as a mountain, showing no intention of going with her. “Aunt, you have two choices now: come with me or go with him. It’s either him or me. Who do you choose?”

She pointed at someone who had just walked over, her chest heaving, clearly quite angry.

"Look what you've done! You've made my Tantan so angry. You better comfort her. If you can't, you'll be in trouble yourself." Song Zhuiyan distanced herself from the situation, making Ye Moxun take the blame.

Ye Moxun looked at Song Tantan, but spoke to Song Zhuiyan, "Auntie, you lie down and rest for a while, don't startle the baby. Tantan and I will go for a walk."

After saying that, he grabbed Song Tantan's wrist and started walking downstairs. Song Tantan struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She pouted and said, "Who wants to go out for a walk with you? If you have something to say, just say it here. What can't be heard?"

"There's nothing I can't tell others, but I just want to talk to you. Stop making a fuss, I really have something to say to you." Ye Moxun half-forced and half-coaxed as he pulled the person out of the inn.

Song Tantan reluctantly followed, and seeing the other person holding her hand tightly, she raised her chin with a touch of arrogance, "I'll give you five minutes. Speak quickly if you have something to say, hurry up."

"Go there, no one can see us there." Ye Moxun pointed to a small bush, in which there was a towering tree, the kind that would take three people to hug with outstretched arms. Hiding behind the tree would provide complete cover.

"You'd better have a reason to convince me. If what you say is unpleasant and you dragged me here, see how I deal with you." Song Tantan waved her chubby pink fist, her words carrying various warnings.

The two reached the back of the tree, and Ye Moxun gave her a push. She leaned back against the tree trunk, and he braced himself against the trunk with both hands, trapping her in his arms.

"Are you pinning me down by a tree?" Song Tantan looked up at him, damn the height difference, he was a head taller than her.

Hearing her say that, Ye Moxun's serious and handsome face broke down in an instant. He slightly curled the corners of his lips and said with a trembling voice, "If you say so, then so be it."

"What do you want to do?" Usually, the next step after a wall slam is... well, you know, a kiss or something. He's not planning to force a kiss on her, is he?

Should she push him away, or accept him?

Ye Moxun had no idea that the person in front of him was thinking so much; he just wanted to confirm one thing.

Were you jealous just now?

Before she could finish speaking, Song Tantan hurriedly denied it, "How could that be? How could I possibly like you, or be jealous of you in front of other girls? Absolutely not." She shook her head vigorously, as if that would make her more convincing.

The saying "there's no silver buried here" perfectly describes her current situation.

Ah, women.

Is it really that hard to admit you like him?

Well, he's a man, so I'll just apologize and say, "I'm sorry about earlier. Sometimes I don't speak very well, but I'll try to change in the future."

The sudden apology startled Song Tantan. This wasn't right. Shouldn't he have confessed his feelings first, gazed deeply into her eyes, and pressed her down to do something?

Or he might angrily roar and tell her that he has no relationship with the girl surnamed Bai, that he didn't mean to embarrass her just now, that he's just used to being sharp-tongued and said those things without thinking, and that he regrets it now, he regrets it a lot.

He had long liked her, but had never dared to admit it. Today, he was determined to make her understand his feelings.

I'm still imagining things.

Suddenly feeling a pinch on her face, Song Tantan snapped back to reality with a wince of pain, "You pinched me again."

"You've been ignoring me the whole time. Why are you spacing out when I'm talking to you? What are you thinking about?" Ye Moxun gently rubbed her face with his long, slender fingers. Actually, he didn't use any force at all; it was just that this girl had fair skin, and a light pinch would leave a red mark.

Coupled with her exaggerated expression, it looked as if he had used a lot of force.

"If 'sorry' is enough, what's the point of having the police?" Song Tantan said, taking advantage of the situation.

"Tantan, are there any police here? Be serious." Ye Moxun's voice was low and seductive; he was deliberately speaking in this tone.

"...Don't be so smug, I'm not going to admit that I like you." Song Tantan looked like she'd been brainwashed, saying things that seemed completely off-target.

Ye Moxun understood everything. This girl liked him, but she was stubbornly refusing to admit it.

What if she suddenly does something stupid? She didn't even realize that she had indirectly admitted to a certain fact.

Well, he's a man, he should take the initiative and save face for the young lady.

He coughed lightly, his dark eyes fixed on her, and said seriously, "Tantan, I like you. Not the kind of liking between friends, but the kind of liking a man has for a woman."

I don't know when I started liking you, but I'm sure of my feelings. I truly like you and want to be with you forever.

Please forgive him, he's a novice too. Having lived two lives, this is his first time confessing to a woman, and he's not sure if he was sincere enough. He doesn't seem to be very good at sweet talk, so this is all he can do.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment; for a long time, the two simply stared at each other without saying a word.

"Well, it's settled then. From now on, you'll be my boyfriend. Remember, you can't flirt with other girls without my permission, and you can't smile so gently at other people, especially that Bai Zhiyan. Stay away from her."

After breaking the silence, Song Tantan said these meddlesome things. If it were any other man, he would have definitely turned his back on her and ignored her.

If you don't have sweet words, fine, but why say these useless things? Even if you think that way, you can't just say it out loud. It's so unpleasant to hear. It's just a confession, not an immediate wedding ceremony. Why are you so henpecked?

“Okay, I promise you,” Ye Moxun agreed readily without getting angry. “However, to be fair, you also have to do the things mentioned above.”

"How about we make a vow together?" Song Tantan whispered.
