Chapter 627: Confessing My Feelings
Ye Qingbai said to Bai Zhi, "Cousin, don't worry, I'll call my dad later and ask if Second Grandfather has returned to Bincheng."
"Alright, go ahead and call. I've been extremely anxious these past few days. This old man hasn't shown up yet. How am I supposed to open my pharmacy when everything is ready?"
She herself is not qualified to practice medicine.
Even if no one reports her, it's unlikely that any patient would want to come in if she were a young woman practicing medicine there.
Ye Qingbai used Bai Zhi's mobile phone to make a phone call home, asking his father if there was any news about his second grandfather.
Ye Jingsong's answer disappointed them once again, saying that the old man had not returned to Bincheng at all.
Ye Qingbai was also disappointed. He instructed the person on the other end of the phone, "Dad, keep an eye on my second grandfather's news. Call Xiaozhi as soon as he gets back and tell him you have something very important to discuss with him."
Ye Jingsong replied, "I understand. I've been going to Derentang every day for the past few days, but the door has been closed. Recently, many patients have been asking about your second grandfather."
Ye Jingsong comforted Bai Zhi, saying, "Xiao Zhi, don't worry, I feel he'll be back soon."
With everyone's enthusiastic help, Bai Zhi's heart calmed down.
What else can we do but wait?
After the meal, Ye Qingbai and Shen Qian left.
Ye Qingbai rode his bicycle here today, giving Shen Qian a ride along the way.
Bai Zhi saw them off at the entrance of the family compound, watching the bicycles disappear into the distance with a smile on her face, like an auntie.
When Ye Qingbai arrived outside the military hospital dormitory, he stopped his bicycle.
"Thank you," Shen Qian said, and then headed back to her dorm.
But Ye Qingbai called out to them.
"Xiaoqian, wait a minute."
Hearing his tone, so different from his usual mood, and him call her Xiaoqian, Shen Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she stopped in her tracks.
Ye Qingbai stepped forward and stood in front of her. At this moment, it was getting dark, and the lights outside the dormitory were dim and yellow.
Against this backdrop, the two figures stood there, their presence exuding ambiguity.
"Is there anything else?"
"Something's up." Ye Qingbai looked at her intently. "Can we talk?"
"What are you going to talk about?" For some reason, Shen Qian suddenly became nervous.
My heart started racing.
"Xiaoqian, what do you think of me?" he asked.
Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's question, Shen Qian's heart trembled slightly. She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze, and said in a flat tone, "It's fine."
Could you elaborate?
Shen Qian, “…”
She brushed her hair back, feigning composure, "Although I didn't like your chatter before, after spending more time with you, I find you quite interesting."
She herself is aloof and rather dull, not good at joking with people, and always seems rather wooden when interacting with others.
If her friends are exactly like her, their interactions will be dull and uninteresting.
Ye Qingbai has a lively and cheerful personality and can always liven up the atmosphere. Being with him makes her feel cheerful without even realizing it.
"Really, I'm funny?"
Her words seemed to encourage Ye Qingbai, and he took another step forward.
He was so close.
You can even see his fluttering eyelashes.
Shen Qian felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She awkwardly turned her face away and said, "What are you doing? Say what you want to say."
"Since you think I'm not bad, then... can I pursue you?" Ye Qingbai's tall figure approached her, his eyes full of sincerity.
Shen Qian, "!!!"
Seeing that his daughter seemed nervous, Ye Qingbai coughed lightly and explained, "I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but I sincerely want to be your girlfriend."
We didn't know each other before, and there might even have been prejudices between us. Through spending time together, I've come to realize you're a very outstanding and unique girl. I admire you and feel an irresistible urge to get closer to you. I sincerely ask for your opportunity to learn more about you.
"You're not kidding me, are you?" Shen Qian took a step back, lowered her head, and stammered.
Is he professing his love to me this time?
Ye Qingbai's handsome face was extremely sincere and serious. "I'm not joking. I'm very serious."
She stepped back, but Ye Qingbai took another step forward, giving her no room to refuse. "Can you give me a chance to enter your life? At the same time, I also want you to get to know me better."
"I..." The usually cool and strong woman seemed at a loss for words when faced with the man's confession, like a shy little girl.
"Xiaoqian, tell me the truth, what do you think of me?" Seeing her constantly backing away and avoiding him, Ye Qingbai unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides, his expression revealing unprecedented tension.
Afraid of being rejected.
He was really afraid of being rejected.
If that happens, the confidence he has painstakingly built up will crumble once again.
Shen Qian avoided his gaze and said, "It's fine."
"Then can you accept me pursuing you?"
Shen Qian, "!!!"
She really didn't know how to answer such a straightforward question.
"Silence means agreement."
“I…” Shen Qian looked at him blankly. How could he have agreed?
"Take this letter back and take a look. I'm not good with words, and there are some things I can't say out loud, so they're all in the letter."
Ye Qingbai handed the letter to Shen Qian, then quickly turned around, saying, "I'm leaving now."
He almost tripped and fell when he turned around.
It's clear that she wasn't the only one who was nervous at that moment.
He had already mounted his bicycle, and before pedaling, he looked at Shen Qian and shouted, "Xiao Qian, you'll see what I do from now on. Only agree to be my girlfriend when I'm satisfied."
After speaking, he rode his bicycle and disappeared into the night.
Shen Qian stared at the envelope in her hand, her mind a jumbled mess.
Ye Qingbai's confession came so suddenly that she's still in a daze.
Although they have been spending more time together recently, she admits that there is a hint of ambiguity between them.
But she didn't expect Ye Qingbai to confess his feelings to her so quickly.
This caught her completely off guard.
And what about herself?
What were her feelings for Ye Qingbai? She couldn't help but ask herself this question.
Is she willing to continue developing a relationship with him?
When Ye Qingbai came to Fujin, he often brought her snacks and would come to her office to see her whenever he had a spare moment.
Every day, I would wait for her to go to the cafeteria together, and I would get her food and serve her dishes. She never explicitly refused.
To outsiders, they just look like they're dating.
Why didn't she refuse?
She herself couldn't explain it clearly; perhaps she didn't reject his approach.
She even looked forward to spending time with him.
His appreciation and admiration for her made her feel respected.
It has to be admitted that her relationship with Ye Qingbai is the normal way for a man and a woman to interact, unlike before when she had a one-sided crush. She felt so humble and insignificant, losing herself in love.
She always put Xie Zheng's feelings first and thought of everything for him, but he wouldn't even look at her.
Thinking about it, I feel pathetic and pitiful.
Recalling the past, she gave a bitter smile and turned to go back to her dormitory.
