Chapter 22 Agreement
Seeing Ye Ran's extremely conflicted expression, Lu Yi's previously high spirits suddenly plummeted. He forced a smile, trying his best to maintain his composure.
"It's okay! Ranran, just do what you really think. Can you tell me what you really think?"
"I'm sorry, Lu Yi. You're a very good person. You saved me and you're still my friend, so I wouldn't lie to you. For some reasons, I didn't have any intention of getting to know anyone, so... I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, I understand. Feelings can't be forced... But... Ranran, can I know why?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you now. Maybe I'll tell you another time when I have the chance!"
Looking into Lu Yi's somewhat dim eyes, his usually sparkling peach blossom eyes seemed to have lost all their luster, and Ye Ran was somewhat lost in thought for some reason.
Lu Yi's mood was as low as he appeared. His first confession had failed. However, he had had many things in his life that were within his grasp, but some events three years ago turned his life upside down...
His former friends and childhood buddies have all drifted away from him, and he doesn't even know where his grandfather and parents are now!
He only managed to get to live with his maternal grandparents after going through layers of connections. It can be said that his life changed dramatically at the age of 17, and the only thing he retained was perseverance!
If he hadn't been so strong-willed and never given up on any potentially useful opportunity, he wouldn't have made it this far!
He was no longer the arrogant and naive young man from the compound. Facing the girl he loved for the first time in his life, he experienced the sweetness and bitterness of love for the first time.
However, if he were to give up pursuing Ye Ran just because of this one rejection, it would be a gross underestimation of his feelings for her!
Since she said she didn't want to interact with anyone, it meant she didn't have anyone she liked yet. Based on his observations, Ye Ran was always immersed in her studies, and there didn't seem to be any suspicious people around...
Lu Yi narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes, concealing a dark glint in them, and silently scrutinized the younger generation in his mind.
Then, still sounding hurt, she continued, "Ranran, although I don't know why you don't want to find a partner, I will always stand behind you. I promise, as long as you turn around, I will be right behind you, waiting for you to look back."
Even if Ye Ran had a heart of stone, she couldn't help but be moved at this moment. "Lu Yi, thank you! But I think you have better options waiting for you. You don't need to waste your time on me."
Lu Yi looked at Ye Ran firmly, "No, the best girl has already appeared in front of me. No matter how good other girls are, they will have nothing to do with me anymore. Ranran, can you grant me a request?"
"What request do you want? Just tell me, and I'll definitely grant it if I can!"
"Can you make a promise with me? If one day you want to find a partner, will you consider me first?"
Ye Ran was somewhat embarrassed; this kind of thing...
"Is it okay? Ranran, you don't need to agree right away. I just want a chance to pursue you... I won't make things difficult for you." Seeing that Ye Ran was starting to waver, Lu Yi pressed his advantage.
