Upon hearing this, Li Chengjun's hand trembled violently, and he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.
He quickly composed himself, put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath as if to muster immense courage, his chest heaving violently as if engaged in a fierce internal struggle, his heart pounding rapidly against his chest.
"Wanwan, actually I... I have something I want to tell you." Li Chengjun's voice trembled slightly, a tremor mixed with tension and anticipation. He stared intently at Xia Wan, his eyes filled with nervousness and expectation, as if this moment would determine his entire world, as if his fate was in Xia Wan's memories.
A strange unease welled up in Xia Wan's heart. She slowly put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, looked at Li Chengjun seriously, and said softly, "Go ahead, what is it?"
Her voice was soft and soothing, but it carried an undisguised tension, as if she could sense the importance of what was about to happen. Her heart began to beat slightly faster as she awaited Li Chengjun's reply.
"Xia Wan, I like you!" Li Chengjun finally mustered his courage, his voice filled with determination and nervousness. The voice seemed to burst forth from the deepest part of his heart, carrying endless affection and longing. Every word was filled with his love for Xia Wan.
His face flushed instantly, like a ripe tomato, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat that glistened in the lamplight. His eyes were fixed on Xia Wan, as if awaiting her judgment, filled with longing and unease, as if awaiting the judgment of fate. His hands clenched unconsciously, his palms drenched in sweat.
Xia Wan was completely stunned. She never expected Li Chengjun to suddenly confess his feelings to her. Her eyes widened, like two bright stars, sparkling with surprise and panic. Her mouth was slightly open, her face filled with shock and disbelief. It was as if time stood still at that moment, and the whole world became quiet, with only the pounding of her heartbeat remaining.
"I know this might be a bit sudden, but I've really liked you for a long time. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were special. Your kindness, your gentleness, your smile are deeply imprinted in my heart. Every action and every word you make touches my emotions. I hope Comrade Xia Wan can give me an opportunity to grow together with you!"
Li Chengjun's nervousness was hard to hide. His hands were clenched tightly together, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he were conveying his inner determination and persistence to Xia Wan. His voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of pleading, hoping that Xia Wan would accept his feelings.
Xia Wan's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. Her mind went blank, as if she had been swept away by a sudden storm, her thoughts in complete chaos.
Looking into Li Chengjun's sincere eyes, she felt a mix of emotions, a jumble of feelings swirling within her: "Brother Jun... I'm sorry..."
She has no such thoughts right now, and besides, she considers herself to be just an ordinary friend of Li Chengjun, not very familiar with him.
