The moment those words left her mouth, Jiang Mian turned to look at the other person.
Even though He Yubai was focused on driving, he could still sense an unprecedented seriousness from the other person's gaze and tone.
He didn't respond immediately, but instead found a place to pull over and park the car.
He took a deep breath, turned his head, and said to Jiang Mian with the same serious expression, "Yes, I like you."
It seems they felt that saying it like that wasn't sincere enough.
So He Yubai repeated himself: "Jiang Wan, I like you, I really like you."
Flowery language is too hypocritical.
On the contrary, simple words convey more genuine feelings.
Jiang Mian suddenly laughed, deliberately teasing, "But liking is not the same as loving."
Upon hearing this, He Yubai was indeed stunned.
Judging from his suddenly tense expression, it seemed as if he realized he had said something wrong.
"No, what I mean is, I like you a lot, and I love you a lot too, and those feelings are equally strong. And sometimes, my love for you might even outweigh my liking, but my liking for you won't diminish!"
He nervously offered a long explanation, while simultaneously trying to figure out if he had said anything wrong.
I'm sure I'm not mistaken!
He Yubai was so nervous he was almost incoherent, while Jiang Mian was laughing heartily.
Those netizens who claim that domineering people can always entice others have completely misunderstood the situation.
Jiang Mian wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from laughing, and looked at He Yubai's helpless appearance, thinking to herself with a smile.
This young master He is so clumsy with words, even when he tries to coax someone.
But despite being clumsy with words, Jiang Mian didn't find her annoying.
Seeing that He Yubai was still trying to make amends, she simply grabbed half of his face and said, "Alright, I know how you feel. Let's go back soon."
Her smile was reflected in He Yubai's eyes.
Even after the other person got out of the car and left, He Yubai still looked confused and didn't understand what had happened.
So, what exactly does Jiang Wan mean?
This situation continued until he returned to his dormitory.
Wait until Jiang Mian transforms back.
What I saw was He Yubai looking lost and worried.
He sighed silently to himself, knowing that what was meant to happen would happen eventually.
Since this secret is about to be exposed, let's just let him tell it himself.
The next day, Jiang Mian got up very early.
Rather than saying he woke up early, it's more accurate to say he had something on his mind, so he didn't sleep much all night.
Perhaps it was the fear of losing confidence after the secret was exposed that caused her to have nightmares all night.
I dreamt that he and He Yubai were honest with each other and spoke frankly.
Being called a heartless liar who deceived my feelings, even by their cold eyes, even in my dreams.
But Jiang Mian still felt lingering fear when she thought about it.
He got out of bed to wash up and ran into He Yubai, who had also not slept well the night before.
After the two met, He Yubai still looked preoccupied, as if he was still thinking about what happened last night and what Jiang Wan really meant.
Jiang Mian felt resentful. Why was he the one who had to bear all the secrets and endure the fear of being exposed?
And all He Yubai needs to do is be carefree and silly?
So he called out to the other person, "He Yubai, come home with me."
He Yubai wanted to go back to bed for a nap; it was the weekend, and he had no classes all day.
"Why?"
He clearly didn't quite grasp Jiang Mian's request.
"Come back with me. I can tell you anything you want to know, including Jiang Wan's secret."
Upon hearing the name "Jiang Wan," He Yubai instantly snapped to attention.
He looked at Jiang Mian with suspicion, but the other woman's expression remained calm.

When I returned to the riverbank in the town, the surrounding flowers and trees had begun to show a new look after a winter.
The two strolled slowly along the riverbank. He Yubai's question was almost out in his mind, but he still didn't speak first.
Jiang Mian carefully considered her words: "My father is injured, and the developer wants to acquire the mountain land here to renovate it into a resort."
The moment he spoke, the two of them stopped in their tracks as if by unspoken agreement.
“My family’s orchard was also included in the land to be expropriated, but my father disagreed because that orchard was a place he had guarded for half his life, and he had developed feelings for it.”
"So he was worried that the developers would take drastic measures, so he would drive up the mountain to patrol every night. That night, he accidentally stepped into a pit and fell, fracturing his pelvis in a comminuted fracture."
Jiang Mian knew that He Yubai's gaze was fixed on him, so he could only pretend to be calm and slowly reveal the last secret.
“My mom thinks he’s being unreasonable. He’s such a grown man, yet he’s doing such childish things and doesn’t even care about the family’s situation. But even so, my mom still doesn’t want my dad to worry, so she secretly went to my uncle and the others to borrow money.”
"Knowing my family's financial situation, I've been working part-time to earn money, leaving early and returning late these days."
When Jiang Mian got to this point, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse.
He Yubai was a little confused, only feeling that this experience was strangely similar to what Jiang Wan had mentioned during her live stream.
Under his puzzled gaze, Jiang Mian raised her head, her eyes seemingly brimming with tears: "He Yubai, I'm sorry. Actually, I never intended to lie to you, but you've always been so good to me, I can't bear it. I'm really afraid that one day, if I fall in love with you, and the secret is exposed, we might even..."
