Chapter 116 Confession
"It's alright," He Ziyan reassured her. "We'll make up soon. Go get it."
They were so certain, it was as if they had opened their eyes to the heavens.
Shi Yan was skeptical, "Okay..."
"Stay a little longer," He Ziyan added.
Shi Yan gave me an OK sign: "Okay." I knew I was superfluous.
After turning around, He Ziyan quickened her pace, jogged a couple of steps to catch up with Jiang Luo, and walked towards the passenger seat ahead of her.
He Ziyan opened the passenger door and waited for Jiang Luo to arrive.
Unfortunately, Jiang Luo didn't hesitate and directly opened the rear door behind the driver's seat.
The car door was slammed shut with force, causing the entire car to shudder.
Seeing this, He Ziyan smiled helplessly, closed the passenger door, and got into the back seat.
The two were one seat apart.
The interior of the car was dimly lit, with only a small, dim light from the overhead lamp casting a beam of yellowish-white light.
Jiang Luo sat with her arms crossed, her chin raised, and her gaze straight ahead, unwavering.
The light and shadow fell on her cheeks, adding a touch of haziness to the interplay of light and shadow.
Occasionally, a car would pass by outside the window, its rumbling sound approaching and then fading away.
With her hands clasped tightly in front of her, He Ziyan's shoulders were slightly hunched, like a child who had made a mistake facing a stern mother.
He knew perfectly well that Luo Luo wasn't strict; on the contrary, she was very soft-hearted.
"You know, right?" He Ziyan turned to face her directly and got straight to the point.
After asking, he nervously swallowed.
My lips and tongue are inexplicably dry.
A deep nasal tone conveyed his dissatisfaction: "Hmm."
Jiang Luo kept her eyes fixed ahead, not giving him a single extra glance.
A pair of clear eyes stared at Jiang Luo. What had to be faced would eventually have to be faced, even if it came a little earlier than expected.
He Ziyan composed himself, licked his dry lips, and squeezed out a voice from his throat: "Actually, I am Yan Zihe."
First floor.
Shi Yan left but returned, going back to the offline store.
The store manager was still distributing photos when he saw Shi Yan. He handed over his work to a staff member, who then warmly came to take over.
"Ms. Shi, are you here to pick up your VR glasses? They're still in the VIP room."
Shi Yan regained her status as a VIP.
Knowing that she wanted to sit there for a while, the manager arranged for her to have dessert and coffee.
A table laden with snacks, accompanied by fresh coffee, and two gift boxes of VR glasses placed nearby—each item made Shi Yan very happy.
Looking at this sumptuous "afternoon tea," Shi Yan sincerely thought: For the sake of my distinguished guest status, Luo Luo and President He must be together, please!
But then she thought about it again and realized that accepting Mr. He's gifts seemed to have upset Luo Luo.
But it doesn't seem to be entirely because of that.
Upon reflection, Luo Luo's outburst stemmed from the Brain Cloud incident.
Good heavens, if Luo Luo doesn't end up with President He because she revealed the Brain Cloud Project, then she will become a sinner for all time!
She might have broken up the couple she was shipping!
Pupil earthquake.
After the store manager left, Shi Yan immediately called the boss with a long face.
As soon as the call connected, she cried out in distress, "Boss~ what should I do? I think I did something wrong, I broke up a couple... Boss..."
After she finished speaking, a patient and gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone: "No, if a relationship between couples is so fragile, it must not be your fault."
"Waaaaah... Boss, I miss you so much! I don't want to take a vacation anymore, I want to go back to work..."
Then, a male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ten more days off! Sister Shi, please, just ten more days off."
He's the boss's boyfriend.
"What do you mean, Sister Shi? You're making me sound like I'm in my forties or fifties." Shi Yan pouted.
Before she could say anything more, the man's voice continued, "If you take another ten days off, I'll give you a bag."
Shi Yan: "Huh? You can do that?"
"Okay! Go ahead and choose one, then send me the style."
"beep--"
The call ended.
They didn't even give her a chance to ask about the available price range.
Shi Yan gazed silently at the sky.
Basement level, inside the car.
That's roughly it.
He Ziyan told Jiang Luo how he became Yan Zihe.
"At first, I didn't know what kind of situation I was in, so I didn't tell you in time. Luo Luo, I'm sorry."
He admitted that he had made a complete mistake in this matter.
He admitted his mistake, but he didn't regret it.
If he hadn't bought time for himself and Luo Luo, they might still be in the "awkward stranger" stage, without even having the chance to talk in the car.
so……
He pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, but he has no regrets.
"You found out later, why didn't you say anything?" Jiang Luo questioned. "You recognized me from the very first time we met, didn't you?"
“Because I was scared.” He Ziyan lowered his eyes, his expression somber and somewhat embarrassed. “Luo Luo, before coming to the dating reality show, I never expected to meet you…”
Jiang Luo: Indeed, if they had known, they wouldn't have refused to have dinner with us, and we wouldn't have waited until we were on a dating reality show to meet for the first time.
"At that time, I already knew very well that I liked you, but I knew that your liking for Yan Zihe was for a fictional character, and for me... you didn't even like him. Luo Luo, if I had told you that I was Yan Zihe when we first met, what would you have done?"
They would probably feel overly resentful of the social death, and thus delete the game, never to see Yan Zihe again, and then stay far away from He Ziyan.
Realizing that giving this answer would embolden the enemy, Jiang Luo paused, then waved her hand firmly and said, "No questions allowed!"
He moved his lips, pouting pitifully, "Oh." Tyrant.
Tyrant Luo Luo!
Well, it's quite cute.
Jiang Luo was unwilling to admit it, so He Ziyan could only analyze it himself: "I'm afraid that you only like Yan Zihe, I'm very afraid... Once I tell you the truth, I will no longer be able to get close to you, whether in the game or in reality."
You guessed right.
If He Ziyan really did that, he would most likely end up in that situation.
Although the relationship started with some scheming, He Ziyan did his best to treat her well throughout the process, creating surprises for her and even bravely showing his clumsy side. As a result... it wasn't bad at all.
Jiang Luo bit her lip.
It's not that it's unacceptable.
He glanced at Jiang Luo furtively, and seeing that she was unharmed, He Ziyan continued, "I didn't mean to tease you at all. I just didn't dare to reveal my hand easily because I wasn't confident. If this makes you feel disrespected, I apologize. I'm sorry, I'm willing to accept any punishment you may give me."
punish.
Severe wording.
There's no need for that.
Jiang Luo frowned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
How should I punish you?
"Luo Luo, anything is fine." He Ziyan looked up at her, his expression extremely serious.
Jiang Luo: ...
With her lips pursed, Jiang Luo frowned and stared at the back of the chair in front of her.
She became a puppet wearing a mask of pain, her whole body feeling as if it were being pricked by needles.
Her heart had been moved by He Ziyan's words, but the little bit of pride in her heart wouldn't allow her to forgive him so easily.
How could she be fooled by just a few words after being kept in the dark for so long?
