Although her voice was very soft, He Chi heard it clearly.
He suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked up, and said in disbelief, "Wife, can you say it again?"
When He Chi propped himself up, a chill seeped into the quilt. Jiang Yining shrank back, put his arms around He Chi's neck, and pulled him down.
The two of them got close again, He Chi hugged her and waited for her answer.
Jiang Yining blushed, and mustered up the courage to speak out the answer again. She said solemnly, "He Chi, the person I have a crush on is you. From the age of nineteen until now, I have only liked you."
At this moment, He Chi didn't know how to respond. He had been secretly jealous for so many days, but it turned out that he was jealous of himself.
Eight years...
He listened to the deafening sound of his own heartbeat, again and again, and stared at Jiang Yining who was trapped by him.
Jiang Yining bit her lips lightly, her cheeks flushed.
She met He Chi's dark eyes, but without waiting for his response, she was at a loss for a moment and called out softly, "He Chi, you..."
"Hmm..."
All of He Chi's emotions were contained in this kiss. After a long time, when the bedroom returned to calm, he hugged Jiang Yining and took a shower.
After lying on the bed again, He Chi took Jiang Yining in his arms from behind and asked, "Since you liked me before, why do you hide every time you see me?"
Jiang Yining was extremely sleepy. After hearing this question, she sobered up a little. "No, I'm not. I'm just nervous and don't know what to say to you. Also, I'm afraid you'll discover my little thoughts."
"I'm afraid of embarrassment."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Chi hugged her tighter. She heard him say with a hint of heartache, "Silly."
He Chi pressed close to her and asked, "Is it hard to like someone for so long?"
Jiang Yining rolled over, facing He Chi, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's actually okay. Secret love has its own fun. Anyway, I don't feel bad."
"Besides, I have achieved my wish now."
He Chi put his arm around her waist, lowered his head, and rested his forehead against hers. He said in a tender voice, "Wife, it's my turn to be clear about your relationship from now on."
Jiang Yining was just feeling moved when she heard He Chi sigh and say, "What a loss."
The originally charming atmosphere gradually dissipated, and Jiang Yining asked in confusion, "What's the loss?"
He Chi regretted it very much and said, "If I had taken a step forward, maybe we would have been together earlier. I wasted eight years in vain."
He repeated regretfully, "That was eight years. How many eight years can we have in a lifetime?"
Facing Jiang Yining's confusion, He Chi leaned over and pecked her twice on the lips. "You may not believe it, but I felt very differently about you before. Maybe that was the beginning of my love for you."
"It's just that every time you see me, you get nervous and hide away, so I thought..."
Jiang Yining blinked. "So, the two of us missed each other for eight years?"
After a long silence, Jiang Yining began to regret, blaming himself for not having a mouth and for not being brave enough.
She was thinking that if she had been braver at the beginning, perhaps she and He Chi would not have been together until eight years later.
In the middle of the night, the couple looked at each other in silence and sighed in unison.
Thinking of the situation at her home at that time, Jiang Yining rejected the idea in her mind.
She said, "I think this is the best arrangement now."
"Given the situation at home, even if you took a step further, I might not have the courage to be with you."
What Jiang Yining said is possible.
But whenever He Chi thought about how Jiang Yining had silently liked him for so many years, he felt indescribable pain in his heart.
He hugged the person and hummed softly.
