That can't be...
Her eyes were a little flustered, and she pursed her lips, looking somewhat nervous.
Was it because I held his hand?
Did he finally figure it out after secretly watching the washing machine yesterday?
The more the girl thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Even my nerves were unconsciously tense; it's all my fault for not being reserved!
If she could do it all over again, she definitely wouldn't do it this way!
The girl swallowed hard, a thin layer of moisture clouding her beautiful eyes. She gritted her teeth guiltily and said, "I...I don't know!"
A smart girl would never, ever let Xiao Ran know that she likes him.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ran was not satisfied with her answer at all.
That's such a perfunctory answer.
He leaned forward, looking at her with a suspicious expression. "How could that be? Haven't you ever liked anyone in your life?"
Everyone has some romantic experience to some extent.
Even if it's just a crush?
have no idea?
This is clearly a case of not wanting to talk about it!
Seeing his disbelief and the stubborn girl, the tension in her mind tightened even more.
A pair of small hands silently took off the book and then clenched together.
She swallowed hard, preparing to deny it to the death.
The girl lowered her head, seemingly afraid to look at him. "I didn't!"
If I admit it, I'm very likely to be thrown out!
She's not that stupid.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Xiao Ran suddenly realized that perhaps she was too ashamed to admit that she had liked someone else.
After all, girls are more sensitive.
But if the other person doesn't tell him, he can't keep asking, or he'll seem boring.
Xiao Ran sighed, looking somewhat disappointed. "Never mind then, I'll just have to figure it out myself."
After saying that, he prepared to get up and return to his workstation.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the girl thought he was angry.
After all, even he himself knew that this answer was a lie.
She subconsciously reached out her fair little hand and gently grabbed Xiao Ran's wrist.
A pair of big, blinking eyes stared at him, their watery pupils filled with pleading. She was so nervous that her throat tightened, and her voice became strained. "Brother, please, please don't go."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Feeling the soft, slightly cool little hand on my wrist.
Such a look, coupled with such a tone.
At that moment, his heart began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably.
The brain also began sending out that pleasant yet tense signal.
He really wanted to say, "Please, sister-in-law, if this continues, something really bad will happen!"
But unfortunately, she doesn't understand anything about film.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Saying it rashly might make their relationship awkward.
This is a real headache.
Seeing Xiao Ran staring helplessly at the small hand that was gripping his wrist.
The girl's eyelids twitched.
It’s over!
Why am I starting to touch him inappropriately again!
She looked at Xiao Ran apologetically, her voice filled with unspeakable guilt, "Um, I, I didn't mean to, I was just in a hurry..."
After all, it wasn't his first time, so he probably didn't think much of it, right?
The girl looked at him, trying to suppress her nervousness. "Um, um, you, you don't go yet, let's talk this over carefully."
What he just said clearly meant that he seemed to be researching something.
She felt that she might have misunderstood.
Xiao Ran cleared his mouth and glanced around. Fortunately, there were few people around, and no one was looking to the side. He breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, let's sit down and talk."
If someone else sees this, they'll think I'm bullying her!
He sat back down in his seat. "It's nothing. I recently wrote a new book, but I'm having trouble figuring out the female lead's inner thoughts, so I thought I'd ask you about it."
Upon hearing this, the girl was taken aback.
Sigh~
You should have said so earlier!
That was terrifying!
She was so scared that she didn't even realize her palms were sweating; they were all wet now!
She breathed a huge sigh of relief, and even her tone softened.
"Oh, that's what you mean. Then I can do it."
As long as you don't admit that you like him, everything is fine!
Seeing this, Xiao Ran looked at her with curiosity, "Then let me ask you, if you really like a boy, would you confess your feelings?"
? ? ?
The girl blinked her watery eyes and began to think seriously.
She couldn't help but rest one hand on her soft, tender cheek, her eyes filled with hesitation.
Confessing my feelings... If the person I like isn't him, then I will definitely confess!
After all, she wasn't the kind of person who was very clever, and she didn't like to use cunning tricks.
If you like each other, just be bold and be together! Why worry so much?
But the person she likes happens to be him.
Their relationship forced even the usually carefree girl to become more cautious.
To be honest, I don't have any particularly high expectations.
Just being by his side is enough to make me happy.
The girl looked into his eyes and said earnestly, word by word, "I think I should confess my feelings!"
Xiao Ran was taken aback.
These days, there aren't many girls who take the initiative to confess their feelings.
This kind of action can truly be considered brave.
