Upon hearing those words from Kōyū, Ai felt the emptiness in her heart vanish instantly.
Instead, a warmth welled up from within.
Bathed in warmth, the corners of her lips involuntarily turned up.
Right now, she has no intention of suppressing it.
"Do you like this flower?" Guangyou leaned down and smelled it, the scent of roses lingering around his nose, seemingly with a hint of sweetness.
The faint sweetness in the air might be a feeling in his mind, but it doesn't actually exist.
However, he was quite happy to see Ai smile.
At this moment, Kōyū was unaware that the method he unintentionally used was precisely the root cause of Ai's change.
The problem was solved automatically after he said that.
Given Ai's personality, she wouldn't ask him directly or proactively:
"What is the meaning of these twelve roses?"
We'll have to wait for him to say it himself.
Actually, the scene of "sending flowers again" was part of Guangyou's plan. He originally intended to chat first, and then send the flowers again when the mood was right.
But after he noticed that Ai's mood seemed to have changed, he played his trump card ahead of time.
The results were pretty good.
"Hmm..." Ai lay in Kouyu's arms, looking away without responding directly.
Her posture made Guangyou chuckle softly.
He suddenly wanted to tease her, so he pretended not to understand and asked:
"Do you like it or not?"
Instead of a response, I received Ai's hand...
But instead of stroking him, I patted him.
How could Ai possibly hide his wicked intentions from him? In fact, anyone with a modicum of intelligence could see right through them.
Ignoring her little gesture, Kwangyu asked again:
"Do you like it or not?"
"..."
There was still no response, and Ai's hand did not come; instead, there was a long silence that lasted for several seconds.
"like..."
Lying in Guangyou's arms, Xiao Ai murmured a few words.
After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Even after receiving this response, Kōyū was not satisfied and pressed on:
"Do you prefer more flowers, or...?"
"You still like me a little more."
"Flowers," Ai blurted out without thinking.
"..." Guangyou's smile froze.
But just then, he heard Ai's voice again:
"The flower is not as good as yours."
These words brought a smile back to Guangyou's face, the upward curve of which was full of the satisfaction of receiving affirmation from the girl he liked.
No matter how many times I've heard these words, they still bring me joy.
It's like a child getting candy or a toy.
It's like a high school student receiving an acceptance letter from their target university.
It's like an office worker getting the job they want.
...
There are many similar examples.
"I think so too." Kōyū smiled and nodded, admitting it.
After saying those words that made her blush, Ai's complexion improved considerably.
Hearing Guangyou's shameless words, she pouted and said disdainfully:
"Narcissism..."
“You said it, not me.” Guangyou brought up what she had said before, “You said ‘Hana is a little worse than you’.”
"I was talking about height." Ai straightened up from Kouyu's arms and compared the bouquet of roses to Kouyu.
As she made the comparison, she explained using this flimsy reason:
"Hua is a little shorter than you."
"Who cares about height when it comes to flowers?" Guangyou retorted speechlessly. "I've only ever seen someone say that, you little girl."
She was just shy and made up an excuse.
But isn't this reason a bit too far-fetched?
Who would believe that if I told them?
Anyone who believes that is a dog!
"..."
Faced with Kousuke's blunt rebuke, Ai didn't respond with any words, but just stared at Kousuke with a deep gaze.
After staring at Ai for a moment, Kousuke lowered his head slightly and said:
"Yes, that's right."
"Hua is indeed a little shorter than me."
Yes, he's a dog.
Hehe~
Seeing that Kousuke had given in, Ai chuckled softly.
The slight upward curve of his eyebrows and the corners of his lips was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
She knew this reason was a bit far-fetched.
No, that's ridiculous.
She made it up so much that no one would believe it, not even herself.
She was just saying it casually.
But she believed that even if others didn't believe her, he would still put on an act of "I believe it".
"What are you laughing at, you little brat?"
After saying this with a hint of helplessness, Guangyou was touched by the warm smile that, though not particularly radiant, felt like the gentle sunshine in his eyes.
He laughed too.
"I'm laughing at you." Ai suppressed her laughter slightly and said directly.
"Go ahead and laugh." Kōyū moved the hand that was around Ai's shoulder up to ruffle her hair, his words full of affection.
Dating a girl is like raising a child.
This is just a metaphor.
Children sometimes make unreasonable demands, and so do girls in relationships.
As the "parent," he naturally had to try his best to satisfy her.
The process of achieving satisfaction may be a little tiring, but when you see her genuine smile, you immediately feel that it's all worth it.
A genuine smile is worth more than a thousand compliments.
