Chapter 675 I Like You
"Okay."
Almost the moment Li Zimu finished asking the question, Tang Chen gave the answer without even asking what the help was.
He just looked at Li Zimu and said very seriously: "Miss Li, go ahead."
"I will not shirk anything I can do."
“.”
The breeze blew through Li Zimu's hair, and a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes. She lowered her head and replied weakly, "Mr. Tang."
"I, I actually just want to know if I really like Xianping."
"And you can read minds, so."
"I see. This is not difficult."
Feeling a sudden pain in his heart, Tang Chen suppressed the emotion and nodded calmly.
"But my ability to read minds doesn't allow me to read people's minds. I can only tell whether what they say is true or false."
"So Miss Li, you have to say something related to this."
"Is that so?"
Li Zimu nodded, then adjusted his sitting position, turned around and faced Tang Chen, and said softly with some shyness:
"I, I really like Mr. Chu."
"Is this okay?"
“.”
The morning sun fell into Lizimu's eyes, filled with the woman's love for her lover.
Looking at her eyes, Tang Chen felt that he didn't even need to use mind reading, the result was already clear at a glance.
However, with that one in ten thousand hope in mind, he silently summoned the tapir and ordered it to look towards Lizimu.
“.”
The dark eye sockets were extremely deep. The tapir leopard just took a look and then closed its eyes again, moving its long trunk up and down.
The answer is the same as guessed, Li Zimu is telling the truth.
"Miss Li"
Pain, disappointment, and unwillingness.
But there is also a sense of relief.
Tang Chen didn't know what his mood was at the moment, he just nodded and said:
"I have used mind reading skills, and what you said is indeed from the heart."
"Really?!"
Li Zimu covered his mouth suddenly, the surprise on his face was beyond words.
She first breathed a sigh of relief, but after a few breaths, there was a hint of sadness between her brows.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Chen suppressed the pain in his heart and asked with a smile: "Isn't it a good thing that I finally understood my feelings?"
"It's a good thing, but Master Wei will definitely not trust me anymore."
Li Zimu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this is what you sow."
"Isn't this Young Master Wei such an unreasonable person?"
Tang Chen advised: "Not everyone can understand their own thoughts, let alone the love between men and women, which is inherently unpredictable."
"It's too arbitrary to conclude that you are being fake to Mr. Chu just because you asked a question once."
"There is still a lot of time to come, I believe Master Wei will understand."
Persuading the woman you love not to give up the man she loves. For any man, this is an experience he would never want to go through.
Tang Chen tried to persuade him with a forced smile, but Li Zimu just shook his head bitterly after listening.
"That being said, since Master Wei has come this far, it means that he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."
"So when I didn't give him the answer he wanted right away this morning, the fate of Xianping and I was already sealed."
"Forget it, let's just leave it like this."
"At least I know how I feel about Xianping, and that's enough."
Looking up at Tang Chen, Li Zimu's tone was extremely lonely.
After hearing what she said, the former didn't know how to persuade her anymore, and he felt very upset, so he stood up and prepared to go back to the house to relax.
"Miss Li, if that's the case, then you should think about it again."
"If you're alright, I'll go first."
"Mr. Tang, I, I would like to ask you for one more favor."
Li Zimu softly interrupted Tang Chen's farewell, and a blush suddenly appeared on his face.
"Actually, Young Master Wei asked me another question this morning."
"He asked me if I was interested in you too."
“.”
His body trembled violently, and Tang Chen was completely confused.
It's not that he couldn't understand why Wei Changtian asked this. After all, his every move with Li Zimu yesterday must have been seen by the secret sentry, so it was understandable that Wei Changtian would have such doubts.
Tang Chen just didn't understand why Li Zimu would say this.
After all, since the latter truly likes Chu Xianping, how could he possibly still like himself?
What's more, compared with Chu Xianping, he was inferior in appearance, status, power, and other aspects. His only advantage might be that he had not yet married.
So the answer to this question should be obvious.
Then why did Li Zimu bring up this matter in front of her? Was it to humiliate her? Impossible, Miss Li would never be such a person.
So, could it be that the answer Li Zimu gave at that time was different from what he thought? !
For a moment, Tang Chen's breathing became extremely rapid, and he waited for Li Zimu's next words with a mood that could not be more complicated.
The latter's face was even more flushed at this time. She lowered her head and murmured in a weak voice:
"Mr. Tang, I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, so I answered "I don't know"
"We are just friends, I..."
"I, I'm confused right now, I don't know how to tell you."
"So, I wonder if you can use the same method to help me again."
Same method, help again.
It was obvious that Li Zimu wanted to use mind reading again to confirm whether she was really interested in Tang Chen.
If it were someone else, Tang Chen would definitely agree immediately.
But when the object of the test was himself, he almost subconsciously blurted out:
"no!"
“.”
The word "No" echoed in the pavilion, which also made Li Zimu stunned.
But she quickly came to her senses and whispered, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."
"Just pretend that I never said that, and I won't mention it again."
"Sorry, I have to go back first."
After sincerely apologizing, Li Zimu stood up in a panic and tried to run away.
But the next moment, Tang Chen suddenly called her.
"Wait, wait."
"Miss Li, if you really want to try it, then go ahead and try it."
“This, this might be a good thing for me.”
“.”
It’s a good thing for me too.
There is no doubt that Tang Chen wanted to use the results of this mind reading to end the fantasy in his heart that should not exist.
Li Zimu naturally understood this meaning. After a moment of silence, he bit his lip and persuaded Tang Chen: "Mr. Tang, are you sure?"
"I am sure."
Tang Chen took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind, and his voice no longer stuttered.
"Miss Li, don't worry about me. We have already guessed the result, right?"
“.”
A solitary courtyard in the early morning, a bamboo forest at dawn.
It’s a pity that human thoughts are thinner than clouds and water.
Without answering "yes" or "no", Li Zimu's eyes met Tang Chen's, then he took half a step forward and stood in front of Tang Chen.
Unlike the shyness when he said "I like Mr. Chu" just now, Li Zimu was very calm at this moment.
"Okay then."
She nodded and reached out to smooth her hair.
The tassels of the silver hairpin in her hair swayed slightly in the sunlight. She looked directly into Tang Chen's eyes, and then said softly in a tone that was not a question but a statement:
"Mr. Tang."
"I like you."
