"What--??!!"
Yin Tao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She was so surprised that she almost couldn't catch her breath and accidentally inhaled saliva into her trachea, causing her to cough.
"Cough cough cough... Sorry, I got too excited." She waved her hand, and after her throat calmed down a bit, she eagerly continued to ask, "Who is it? Who is so lucky to win the favor of our beautiful Xia Lian~"
Xia Lian paused for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then shook her head.
"Uh, you don't want to say? Okay, okay~" Yin Tao pouted. Although she really wanted to know who the other person was, she couldn't force them to tell her. However, she couldn't stop the curiosity in her eyes.
That's Xia Lian, who usually speaks no more than ten words in a sentence! And yet she has someone she likes.
Moreover, she doesn't usually interact with others much. When she occasionally talks to male classmates, it's always about schoolwork, and her attitude is extremely cold.
Later, Xia Lian told me that she wanted to get along well with others, but the girl always kept her head down and had a blank expression, which always made others mistakenly think that she was in a bad mood.
"Does he like you?" Yin Tao didn't think much of it and leaned closer to ask, "By the way, have you told him that you like him?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian blinked and nodded honestly. She felt a little disappointed and lowered her eyes.
Seeing her suddenly become downcast, Yin Tao had already vaguely guessed the outcome, and then cautiously asked, "He... doesn't like you?"
I can hardly believe that any guy would reject such a cute girl!
Xia Lian tapped her slender white fingers together beneath her, then shook her head and nodded again.
"He likes me."
"Isn't this a good thing? Then why did you suddenly become so sad just now?" Yin Tao was a little confused by these words, and the more she listened, the more her mind went blank.
"He likes me, but... it's just a normal kind of liking."
Xia Lian spoke slowly and deliberately, and as she spoke, Wen Mo's image gradually appeared in her mind.
"Oh... so it's just a normal crush." Yin Tao pinched her chin, beginning to understand why Xia Lian was so upset. It turned out that the other person didn't see her as a romantic partner. "That's really troublesome."
Hearing this, Xia Lian, who was already feeling down, became even more gloomy. She lowered her eyes and placed her small hands, which were loosely clenched into fists, on her thighs.
"Besides, I don't understand myself... what kind of feelings I have for him..."
"Huh? Isn't it the kind of liking that's romantic?"
"I don't know what love is." Xia Lian remained expressionless, her lowered eyes reflecting a hint of dazedness. "I just want to be with him forever... and never be apart."
This girl is pitifully naive. She doesn't know that there are so many different kinds of feelings. Rather than pondering those complicated emotions, Xia Lian is better at expressing her thoughts directly.
"I see." Yin Tao frowned and agreed, finally understanding why the girl in front of her had become so upset; the situation was more complicated than she had imagined.
She also has someone she likes, and she has long had a deep understanding of the feelings involved in love.
"Xiao Lian, how did you feel when you were with him? You can tell me about both the psychological and physical aspects." Yin Tao changed her previous frivolous demeanor and then asked the question in a serious manner.
When Xia Lian was asked this question, she covered her chest and felt the details that she usually didn't notice. The more she thought about that face, the more she felt her breathing become a little tight.
After a while, she slowly lowered her head, her fingers doing something under the table. Yin Tao was a little puzzled. A moment later, her phone suddenly rang a few times.
"Um?"
Looking down, he saw messages from Xia Lian on his phone. She seemed to feel a little shy about asking in person, and sent many messages at once.
My heart longs to be with him forever.
My heart: Seeing his face makes me feel much better.
Heart: He feels very uncomfortable when girls get close to him.
Heart: I can act cute and spoiled in front of him.
Heart: I feel very happy when I see the message he sends me.
Yin Tao carefully read each message the girl in front of her sent, and the more she read, the more she realized how incredible it was. By the time the last message was sent, everything was settled.
Heart: I want to touch him, my heart is pounding.
After sending everything, Xia Lian put down her phone, seemingly still feeling a little embarrassed, and nodded slightly.
Yin Tao swallowed hard. She really hadn't expected it to be written in such detail, even describing the inner thoughts. Some parts even made her wonder if this was really Xia Lian.
"He feels very uncomfortable when girls get close to him."
Judging from her appearance, it's impossible to imagine that Xia Lian would be so possessive.
But one thing is certain. Yin Tao sighed and nodded with feigned profundity, her actions leaving Xia Lian completely stunned.
Finally, she tapped her phone screen with her finger, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
"Girl, you're in love."
This wasn't just ordinary liking, nor was it any other kind of feeling. She was certain it was love! Xia Lian in front of her had truly fallen for a boy!
Xia Lian was stunned and sat down in her seat, feeling helpless. After hearing what she said, she seemed to realize that something had changed about her as well.
"I'm in love..."
"That's right! This is definitely love!" Yin Tao wanted to applaud, but there were too many people here.
"But what is love?" Xia Lian asked blankly. Even now, she still didn't understand the meaning of love, only knowing that it might be a good thing.
