She was out of breath from walking so fast.
"Mu Yan, she is your third aunt, right?"
Ying Xixi spoke first.
Mu Yan hummed, "She's my distant third aunt, so we're only distant relatives."
Ying Xixi scratched her head, "Well, if I treat her like this, will she bully Aunt He?
I'm sorry, I was a little angry just now and I couldn't help but hit her."
Mu Yan turned his head and looked at Ying Xixi with a complicated look in his eyes, "You don't have to apologize, you protected me, and I should thank you.
She just said...she told you my secret, is that true?"
Ying Xixi knew that Mu Yan was going to talk about this. She looked at the time and it was only half past eight, so she could have a good talk with Mu Yan.
"Let's find a place to have a good chat."
The two found a 24-hour convenience store that was still open and sat in the corner.
The environment is not romantic, nor does it add any ambiguous atmosphere.
The two sat facing each other across a table.
"When did you find out?"
Mu Yan asked first.
He lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what his mood was at the moment.
"About half a year ago, when my grandmother and I were having dinner outside, we met your Third Aunt, and she told me your secret.
Mu Yan, only my grandmother and I know about this, and we haven't told anyone else."
Ying Xixi's answer made Mu Yan's eyes tremble.
"More than half a year ago? It's been a long time. So, what did you think after you knew my secret?
Xixi, you know I like you, but I have a hidden illness and I can't give you a child.
If you don't want to be with me, I won't force you.
In fact, I plan to make a solemn confession to you tonight, and then tell you about my hidden illness, and leave the decision to you.
But I didn't expect you to know it so early.
So now, what do you think?"
Mu Yan's words were once again very blunt.
It was so straightforward that Ying Xixi was caught off guard.
"Are you going to confess to me tonight? That's such a pity. If your Third Aunt hadn't come out and said something nonsense, I would have had the chance to see how you would confess.
But it doesn't matter, some things are better to talk about earlier.
Mu Yan, you know my family situation. I am married for the second time and I only have a grandmother. I have no other relatives.
Although you have a hidden illness, everyone praises you for your appearance, career and family.
Do you really like me?"
Ying Xixi did not answer according to Mu Yan's words, but focused on this matter.
She wanted to confirm Mu Yan's feelings for her first.
Mu Yan nodded gently, "I like you, Xixi, ever since that day when you pretended to be unresponsive even though you had recovered and came to my house, and asked my mother to knock on your door at around 8 o'clock in the evening.
I started to notice you, and I was wondering why you pretended to be abnormal even though you were normal.
Why do you want my mother to do this? What are you planning?
Gradually, I don’t know why my eyes are stuck on you.
When I realized it, I found that I had fallen in love with you.
But I dare not tell you.”
Ying Xixi's expression was complicated. "Because of your hidden illness, you don't dare let me know that you like me?"
Mu Yan: "Yeah."
Ying Xixi: "But I'm a second marriage, and you're a first marriage. In the eyes of people nowadays, I'm not worthy of you. You don't have to be so self-deprecating just because of a hidden illness, Mu Yan."
"So what do you think now? Are you willing to be with me knowing that you will never have children in this life?"
Mu Yan suddenly looked up at Ying Xixi, his eyes filled with struggle, expectation and uneasiness.
Without waiting for Ying Xixi to answer, he quickly added as if he was afraid to hear Ying Xixi's answer.
"Xixi, just follow your inner thoughts. There's no need to compromise yourself for other reasons."
Ying Xixi looked at Mu Yan, who was so cautious and uneasy, pursed her lips, and reached out to hold his hand on the table.
"Mu Yan, I thought you already knew my feelings for you. After all, I tried to get you to tell me that you liked me, but you always refused.
I thought you didn't like yours. Besides, I knew your secret more than half a year ago.
If I really wanted to reject you because of this matter, I might have distanced myself from you long ago when you went to Shanghai.
Mu Yan, I finally got your honesty."
Tears were flashing in Mu Yan's eyes, sparkling brightly under the reflection of the fireworks outside the window.
"Xixi, but if you are with me, you will no longer have your own children..."
"It's okay, I heard from your third aunt that you just have asthenospermia, not azoospermia, so good luck will come one day.
Maybe we will have children faster than others.
To take a step back, even if we really don’t have children, we can go to an orphanage and adopt a child to keep us company.
When our children grow up, they will leave us, but we will always be by each other’s side.”
After Ying Xixi finished speaking, she looked at Mu Yan's uneasy expression and continued.
"It was my grandmother who suggested adopting a child. She said that if you and I were together in the future, we could go to an orphanage to adopt a child, and she agreed.
You don't have to worry about grandma. She just hopes that I can meet someone who is truly good to me and that we can live a good life together."
Mu Yan nodded continuously, and the handsome guy was so moved that he almost broke.
Ying Xixi reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Mu Yan's eyes and joked.
"This is the first time I've seen you cry, Mu Yan. You're not a crybaby, are you? That would be quite a contrast to your image."
Mu Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and held the hand that Ying Xixi extended to him.
"I'm not. I'm just so moved. I feel like happiness has hit me. Xixi, let's go back and watch the fireworks."
Ying Xixi and Mu Yan walked out of the convenience store hand in hand and raised their holding hands.
"Okay, it's almost time to go back, so what is our relationship now?"
"We are a couple."
The doting in Mu Yan's eyes was about to overflow. He could finally look at the girl he liked openly without having to restrain the love in his eyes.
Ying Xixi: "So your planned confession tonight is over?"
Mu Yan: "Of course, do you want it?"
Ying Xixi: "Don't ask me, if you ask, of course I will say no."
Mu Yan: "Xixi, do you want it? If you do, tell me. I want to hear you say it."
Ying Xixi: "Your words will make me think the wrong thing. Let's go. Whether you want it or not, think about it yourself. Don't ask me."
"Xixi, what are you thinking? Can you tell me? Xixi, wait for me, don't run away..."
