Chapter 226 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng 14хl

Wu Cheng heard her words and stopped walking towards the door. He turned back to look at her and said, "Go... do something."

Liao Qian asked without hesitation, "What's the matter?"

She knew she was asking too much, but she couldn't help asking.

She had always kept her distance from him and even wanted to cut off contact with him, but now, perhaps because they were in a foreign country and he suddenly appeared when she needed help the most, she felt a little more grateful and enthusiastic towards him.

Wu Cheng naturally heard the worry in her tone, so he leaned against the wall and asked calmly, "Are you concerned about me?"

"I was just asking casually..." Liao Qian would definitely not admit it. She stood in front of the bedside table, lowered her head and awkwardly put the charging cable into her bag.

"Oh, then you can just ask me. I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because... this matter must be kept confidential and cannot be discussed casually."

This means that he refuses to speak.

Maybe it was something important, Liao Qian didn't ask again, "When will you be back?"

"You go back to your country first, I'll come back when I'm done."

"……All right."

Seeing him stand up and leave, Liao Qian suddenly called him, "Wu Cheng."

"Yeah." He responded calmly, but did not turn around, leaving only his back.

"Then I'll go back and wait for you." She always wanted to say something in her heart, and all kinds of emotions gathered together and finally turned into this sentence.

Maybe she realized that this place was not as peaceful as in the country, so she hoped that he would pay more attention and return home as soon as possible.

But she didn't know that the words she said were like the sound of a clear spring flowing over rocks, stirring up a pleasant echo that made Wu Cheng feel refreshed and happy unconsciously.

He turned his head and glanced at her, his deep eyes filled with tenderness, "You said you would wait for me."

"Well, it's not safe here. You should go back early." Liao Qian's eyes showed concern for him.

Wu Cheng stared at her serious expression, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally asked, "Qianqian, I want to ask you another question."

"What?"

"You and Fang Yi... is there no chance for you two?"

I don't know why he suddenly brought up the translation and asked her such a question. Could it be that he also believed the online gossip to be true?

After all, he had previously misunderstood that she liked Fang Yi.

But those were originally owned by Zixuwu.

"He and I are just partners, nothing more."

After hearing her explanation in person, the tension and worry that had just gathered in Wu Cheng's eyes disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by joy and excitement.

"Qianqian, when I return to China, can I pursue you?"

Chase her? This time it was Liao Qian's turn to be stunned. For a while, Wu Cheng always came to see her, and she always thought that he just wanted to be friends with her and maintain the same relationship as before.

Even when he got drunk and came to her and said something that could be easily misunderstood, she didn't take it seriously and just thought he had recognized the wrong person.

Now, he said this in a sober state, without drinking or joking, he was serious.

"You...want to pursue me?" She could feel that there was something unsteady in her voice.

"Yeah, was it because I wasn't obvious enough before?"

Yes, in fact, he always said some strange things before, she should have thought of it.

His inexplicable behavior is not what a friend should do.

Maybe she had never thought about it in this way, or maybe she subconsciously felt that it was impossible, so she remained out of the situation and didn't realize it.

"You... why?"

After asking the question, she realized that she had asked a stupid question. She lowered her head and her ears turned red.

Wu Cheng smiled and answered patiently, "I pursued you because I liked you. I've said that I've always remembered you and wanted to contact you, but I was afraid of disturbing you. In fact, I don't even know when I started to have those feelings for you. Maybe I had them a long time ago, but I didn't see myself clearly. I was too stupid. Qianqian, I thought I wouldn't have the chance to say these words. Fortunately, God hasn't treated me badly."

His words were like a huge wave with tremendous force that hit her nerves. Liao Qian froze on the spot, not even knowing how to react.

Seeing her standing there stupidly, Wu Cheng took a few steps and stood in front of her, saying soothingly, "Qianqian, you don't have to rush to respond to me. I can wait. After all, you always treated me as a classmate, but I have ulterior motives towards you. I don't care who you liked before. I just want a chance, a chance for you to try to accept me. I swear I will use everything I have to love you."

Liao Qian's mind was in a mess. She finally figured out some clues and asked a question she couldn't figure out, "What do you like about me?"

In her memory, their interactions were mainly in those days, before he fell in love, and there were no special experiences afterwards.

At that time, he treated her as a friend, so how could he have such thoughts about her?

Then when did he fall in love with her? Or what was it about her that attracted him? She couldn't figure it out.

When Wu Cheng spoke, he seemed to be recalling the past. "Love is actually a feeling. There are many shining things about you. You are strong and brave, and sometimes you are very delicate. I like the feeling of being with you. When I look at you, I feel very satisfied. I want to selfishly continue like this."

“I’m not that good.”

Liao Qian herself does not think she has so many advantages. Because of her early experiences, she feels that she has lost the halo and filter that a girl should have, and often feels that she is unworthy.

"You are very good. Don't underestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are the most precious."

So he wouldn't allow her to be hurt by anyone.

Liao Qian asked in a low voice, with a puzzled look and even a hint of grievance, "You...didn't you treat me as a buddy at that time?"

Wu Cheng was amused by her thoughts, "Does calling you Brother Qian mean I really treat you as a man? I thought girls who like to dress cool like to be brothers."

So this is what he meant. She thought...

Liao Qian curled her lips and smiled, and she suddenly felt relieved.

Hearing what he said today, it was like the person involved was responding to her bitter, painful, dark years of unrequited love.

"Wu Cheng, no matter what, thank you for telling me this."

"What are you thanking me for? It's not that I affirm you, it's that you are good to begin with."

Wu Cheng raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch her head, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

Hanging in the air, he took it back and said, "Go back to your country quickly. It's not safe here."

Liao Qian raised her eyes to look at him, noticing the fiery and resolute look in his eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, "Well, then I'll go."

"Um."

Liao Qian pulled the suitcase, and the small wheels at the bottom of the suitcase rolled over the floor, making a loud noise.

When she reached the door, she turned around to look at the man who was still standing beside the bed, overlapping him with his past self. In a trance, she felt his change, the way he looked at her had changed, becoming very gentle and nostalgic.
