After struggling with the question, Aoqian asked her, "Besides doing things you hate during the gaps, do you feel disgusted by the fact that Kongxi likes men?"
Song Xi was slightly taken aback.
The question about Aoqian is actually invalid.
Because Aoqian didn't know she was a woman, but Kongxi did.
She herself dressed as a man, which was a requirement of the space.
But now, he can't directly tell Aoqian the truth about his situation.
“Well, actually, he doesn’t like men…” Song Xiwei explained.
Ao Qian was stunned for a moment.
He realized his situation; yes, he didn't like men either.
It was only because that person was Song Xiwei. If it were anyone else, Aoqian wouldn't even have a reaction, let alone be moved.
“But you’re a man, and he likes you… What do you think of his behavior? If…” Aoqian almost blurted out that he was referring to himself, but thankfully he stopped in time.
Ao Qian's gaze was too intense, as if he was eager to confirm something. Song Xiwei had kept her true situation a secret from Ao Qian, and being stared at like that by him felt like she was being roasted by fire. She hurriedly explained, "Of course I can't accept it. Although I... I'm not physically developed well, and Young Master knows my unspeakable secret, it doesn't mean I'm willing to be subservient to someone else. I'm a man at heart, how could I accept such behavior!"
Aoqian seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking.
Although I held onto a sliver of hope, I felt fortunate that there might be a chance.
But when the facts are laid bare...
Song Xiwei's answer was so certain.
She couldn't accept this kind of relationship, and her rejection of it was so obvious.
Despite feeling heartbroken, bitter, and powerless, Aoqian still couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
I was lucky that I hadn't directly expressed my feelings.
However, this sense of relief was tinged with resentment. He didn't spell it out, but he still pressed her, "If it weren't for the gap, would you be unable to accept anyone else? Wouldn't you even consider it?"
Song Xiwei couldn't help but feel guilty.
Aoqian's behavior was too strange; it seemed more like he was testing himself.
Could it be that he's become suspicious?
Has her true gender been exposed?
But hadn't his doubts already been dispelled at the Demon Flower Pool?
"I... I may not be physically developed, but that doesn't mean I'm inherently self-destructive, Young Master. You see, I'm not bad-looking, am I? I'm quite handsome, and everyone loves me. Aside from not being able to have children with girls, I'm not lacking in any other way. I still enjoy receiving girls' admiration and attention..."
Does this explanation count as clarifying things for myself?
Song Xi raised his neck slightly, trying to stand even more manly than Ao Qian, all to show Ao Qian how masculine he was.
Aoqian's mind was elsewhere.
He heard it clearly.
Even if you're not willing to give up, you still want to verify it again.
The result remained unchanged.
Song Xiwei said that she has never given up liking girls deep down. Her implication was clear: she would not accept any gaps in her affections, nor would she accept any other men, including herself.
My heart broke once again.
It hurts so much to want something you can't have, to fall in love with someone who will never love you back.
"I understand. I've asked my questions. I won't lose my temper with you so easily anymore. You were right before; I was too immature." He avoided Song Xiwei's gaze, almost wanting to escape from this place.
"I'll take care of the internal affairs. You, do as you please."
Aoqian's figure disappeared from Song Xiwei's sight in an instant.
Song Xiwei didn't think much of it, and she didn't realize that Aoqian looked very strange at the moment.
Because she herself felt extremely guilty, she didn't know whether Aoqian had dispelled his doubts about her.
Otherwise, she really couldn't understand why Aoqian would suddenly ask her to confirm whether he liked men or women.
