"What's wrong? Is it related to Yi Yi?"
It's Yi Yi again. Why is it that Chen Dudu's eyes and mind are always on Yi Yi, even though she's right next to him? He seems oblivious to her presence.
"It's not Yi Yi, it's me," Yu'er said defiantly.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I like you."
Without any embellishment, Yu'er revealed the secret she had kept hidden in her heart for so many years. She had thought that speaking out would bring relief, but unexpectedly, it only made her heart feel heavier. She began to worry that Chen Dudu would be disgusted, would reject her, and would tell her not to be presumptuous.
Alas, impulsiveness is the devil. Although human lifespan is short, some of the things we say still hold true.
What made her even more uneasy was Chen Dudu's attitude. His face remained expressionless after hearing her confession, as if she had simply said something insignificant like, "The weather is really nice today."
"Yu'er, I..."
As soon as Chen Dudu opened his mouth, she knew he was going to refuse.
She knew Dudu liked Yiyi, and had always liked her. But she had always liked Dudu.
Previously, she never dared to hope for anything, keeping all her feelings for him hidden in her heart. So much so that even her best friend, Yi Yi, was unaware of this secret.
But she was unwilling to keep this secret to herself forever.
"Dudu, stop talking. I know what you're going to say, but I don't want to hear you reject me. Besides, it's not like I have no chance at all. Maybe one day you'll suddenly realize how good I am and fall in love with me. So, don't rush to reject me."
As she spoke, Yu'er grabbed her snow-white tail and forcefully pulled off the hair at the tip.
"Don't……"
Before Chen Dudu could stop her, she sighed, "What are you doing? The fur of the spirit fox clan is extremely precious and needs to be carefully maintained. How could you pull it off?"
Yu'er held a tuft of fur in her palm and tied it into a knot. "Dudu, I know that the fur of the spirit fox clan is the most precious thing, which is why I'm giving you my most precious possession. I've heard that humans have a term called 'a couple bound by hair.' When a couple gets married, each takes a hair from their head and they tie them together in a knot, thus becoming husband and wife. I find this saying very interesting. Although we spirit foxes don't have hair, we have fur, so it's probably similar. Today I'm giving you this fur. If one day you come to your senses and think I'm not bad, then you can tie your own fur in a knot with mine, and I'll understand your feelings. But if..."
At this point, Yu'er lowered her head, staring blankly at the thing in her palm, "But if... you still can't accept it after a very long time, then this... this hair can be considered a keepsake from me. Or, you can just throw it away. But even if you've decided never to be with me again, don't tell me yet, I'm afraid I can't handle it."
After saying that, Yu'er took Chen Dudu's hand, stuffed the hair from her palm into his hand, and turned to run away.
"Yu'er, wait a minute—"
Chen Dudu tried to chase after him, but because she was walking too fast, she accidentally aggravated the wound on her leg and fell to the ground with a "thud".
Yu'er hurriedly helped him up, and scolded him with heartache, "Dudu, be careful. Why are you running with such a serious leg injury?"
"It's nothing serious, just a superficial wound. I appreciate your kindness..."
"Never mind, I'll take you to get your wound treated first. You've walked so far and then fell, your wounds must have reopened. I'll go and re-bandage you."
