Zhou Yuanyuan smiled, and Wen Ziqing quickly seized the opportunity, leaping up from the ground and sitting next to her. He sat very close, his thigh touching hers. Even though they were separated by layers of clothing, Wen Ziqing could feel the heat rising from his leg.
Smelling the sweet fragrance, Wen Ziqing resisted the urge to hug Zhou Yuanyuan in his arms. He was afraid that he would offend the little girl.
"Sit further away." Zhou Yuanyuan pushed Wen Ziqing again. She felt that Wen Ziqing was too close to her. She was still angry with him! Was he trying to use his beauty trick on her by getting so close?
This time, Zhou Yuanyuan's hands were soft, as if they had no strength.
Wen Ziqing followed Zhou Yuanyuan's gesture and moved slightly to the side, just a little. One of Wen Ziqing's legs remained pressed against Zhou Yuanyuan's. At this moment, Wen Ziqing felt a peace of mind he had never felt before. His Yuanyuan didn't object to his approach. Did this prove that Yuanyuan also had feelings for him? As for Zhou Yuanyuan's push, Wen Ziqing automatically interpreted it as Zhou Yuanyuan being shy.
"Yuanyuan, do you miss Brother Ziqing?" At this crucial moment, Wen Ziqing's flirting skills automatically activated. He remembered what General Zhou had said to him last night: If you like a little girl, you should be brave enough to say it out loud. Otherwise, if the little girl likes someone else, he, Wen Ziqing, won't even have a place to cry. As Zhou Jinyu's great-granddaughter, she'll never have trouble finding a husband!
After hearing General Zhou's domineering declaration, Wen Ziqing regretted not confessing his feelings to Zhou Yuanyuan sooner. Kyoto City is overflowing with talented young men, and among them, he wasn't the most outstanding. Previously, Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan were engaged, and Wen Ziqing had a sense of composure, figuring it wouldn't be too late to confess his feelings until she turned eighteen. But now, with their engagement in jeopardy, Wen Ziqing feared Zhou Yuanyuan would fall for another boy before he could even express his love.
However, all these years, Wen Ziqing had long since made up his mind about Zhou Yuanyuan, determined to protect her forever. He believed that among all the young men pursuing Zhou Yuanyuan, while he might not be the most outstanding, he was certainly the most sincere. He liked Zhou Yuanyuan simply for the sake of liking her, and it had nothing to do with General Zhou. Fortunately, it wasn't too late; Yuanyuan hadn't fallen for another boy yet, and he had just returned.
"No." Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head, glared at Wen Ziqing, and said sarcastically, "Brother Ziqing has a beautiful woman by his side. Do you still care whether I miss you or not?"
Zhou Yuanyuan's words, "Brother Ziqing," mimicking He Jingjing's sickeningly sweet voice, made Wen Ziqing shudder. When these words came from He Jingjing's mouth, Wen Ziqing felt horrified, but when they came from Zhou Yuanyuan's little mouth, Wen Ziqing felt as if his bones had lightened. If he weren't so used to a blank expression, lacking the energy to smile, Wen Ziqing would have been beaming.
"Little naughty girl." Wen Ziqing knew Zhou Yuanyuan was responding to him for not stepping up the moment he did. Fortunately, the matter had been resolved, so he could sit next to Zhou Yuanyuan. However, in such a pleasant atmosphere, Wen Ziqing subconsciously felt that explaining He Jingjing's matter was a bit of a dampener.
Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Wen Ziqing and moved half an inch to the side. She was feeling frustrated. Hadn't she been thinking of ignoring Wen Ziqing? Why did her determination vanish as soon as she saw him?
"Yuanyuan, why are you ignoring me?" Wen Ziqing was hurt by Zhou Yuanyuan's move to the side, and he couldn't help but retract his hand that was about to reach out to ruffle Zhou Yuanyuan's hair. Wen Ziqing looked a little bewildered. His little girl always ran to him with joy when she saw him, but this was the first time she ignored him like this and spoke to him in a stiff tone.
"You know in your heart that you like He Jingjing, so why bother coming to my house to curry favor with my great-grandfather?" Zhou Yuanyuan decided to speak frankly. It didn't matter whether Wen Ziqing liked her or not; the most important thing was that he didn't lie to her. Zhou Yuanyuan hated lying, and she hated being lied to, too.
"Yuanyuan, I'm not in love with He Jingjing. The person I've always liked is you." Wen Ziqing was anxious. He knew that the way Zhou Yuanyuan looked at him when she left the bar that night was not right. Did she realize He Jingjing's feelings for him?
"Over the years, I, Wen Ziqing, have only ever loved one person, and that's you, Zhou Yuanyuan," Wen Ziqing declared. He was truly determined. Even though Yuanyuan was still young, if he didn't make things clear with the little girl now, who knew how she would misunderstand him later? Fortunately, he had laid the groundwork by admitting his love for Zhou Yuanyuan to General Zhou yesterday; otherwise, Wen Ziqing's words of love wouldn't have flowed so smoothly. Just the word "like" was on Wen Ziqing's tongue, and he kept repeating it.
"Who asked you to like her? Shameless!" Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Wen Ziqing. He still liked her? If he liked her, why was he still hanging out with He Jingjing? Didn't he know that He Jingjing and he had always been at odds? Zhou Yuanyuan felt that she was really narrow-minded. At a moment like this, she couldn't help but think of He Jingjing, the person who annoyed her.
"I don't need to be ashamed to like you," Wen Ziqing said honestly. While on the front lines, Wen Ziqing had heard his roommates say that when it comes to your wife, face means nothing. At that moment, Wen Ziqing felt that those "experienced" people were right. If he had been a little more shameless, Yuanyuan might have run away.
"Wen Ziqing, tell me the truth. What's going on between you and He Jingjing?" Zhou Yuanyuan said with a stern face, unwilling to let Wen Ziqing off easily. That night, she was heartbroken, foolishly walking through most of Kyoto City in the cold wind. Wen Ziqing offered no explanation, so she couldn't expect him to let her off!
After hearing Zhou Yuanyuan's jealous words, Wen Ziqing's anxiety turned into a kind of joy. The little girl was upset with him because she cared about him! His little girl, how could she be so cute?
"He Jingjing and I have nothing to do with each other. That day it was because..." Wen Ziqing told Zhou Yuanyuan the whole story of how he was almost possessed by the Taoist Baopu. Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that her teeth were about to break when she heard that Wen Ziqing pretended not to know her at the "Qingxin Bar" in order to avoid implicating her.
Bad guy! If you have something to discuss with me earlier, why don't you come to me for consultation? With Xiaoyu here, what does the remnant soul of Baopu Taoist mean?
