Chapter 143 Do you want to fall in love?
Ye Qi’s kiss was very light.
He wrapped his arms around Qiao Lan, using very little force.
It was a very gentle movement, careful and light, his lips brushing against Qiao Lan's skin like a feather.
Qiao Lan felt very itchy.
There was also a feeling I had never experienced before, as if my heartbeat was accelerating and my blood pressure was soaring. My face turned red in an instant and my head was buzzing.
She was stunned for a moment.
Ye Qi didn't continue either.
The two of them remained still for a few seconds, and then Qiao Lan reacted, immediately straightened up and broke free from the embrace, looking at Ye Qi with wide eyes.
"Are you...are you crazy?"
She felt her face getting red and hot in waves, so hot that she could hardly breathe.
"I'm not crazy."
Ye Qi's eyes were dark and bright, even darker and brighter than Cha Cha's. Qiao Lan's shadow was reflected in his pupils, clear and deep.
"Why did you kiss me if you're not crazy!" Qiao Lan held her red face, feeling embarrassed.
It’s not that she was embarrassed to be kissed, but she found that Ye Qi didn’t blush at all, but her face was hot and her heart was beating fast, which made her seem much lower than him.
She hated this feeling.
It feels like I'm a super green rookie.
"Because I like you, so I kiss you."
Ye Qi listened to her question and explained seriously.
Qiao Lan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but it didn't work. She found her heart beating even faster, thump thump, almost jumping out of her chest.
"Are you confessing to me? Tell me clearly, is this a confession?" She tried to make her tone vicious, staring at Ye Qi and asking.
Ye Qi was still very serious. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know what it means to confess my feelings. I'm just expressing my feelings. If you think it's a confession, then it is."
His voice was weak from mental trauma, and he spoke slowly, his words as soft as a whisper.
Each word was like a thunderclap, exploding one by one in Qiao Lan's heart.
No, it wasn't a thunderclap. She felt like clusters of fireworks were exploding in the world inside her heart.
It was like one time when I was a child, I went abroad with my adoptive parents in a small foreign city whose name I had forgotten. I was walking along the river bank late at night and saw fireworks blooming on the opposite bank. They were so beautiful, so beautiful.
It dazzled her and left a deep impression on her mind, which she would never forget in either life.
"Why do you..." Her tongue was a little tied, "Why do you like me?"
"I don't know." Ye Qi answered honestly.
"Don't know? How dare you like me without knowing?" Qiao Lan was a little annoyed.
Ye Qi said: "It's not casual, I really like it."
"I don't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it? Do you not believe in my feelings, or do you not believe in your own excellence?"
Qiao Lan's slight annoyance disappeared.
This guy is really good at talking.
——Am I good?
She never thought she was outstanding. She was just an ordinary fat girl, living a messy life in the messy apocalypse.
"When did it happen? When did you start to like me?" she asked.
Ye Qi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. When I realized it, I already liked you. Maybe it was from the first time you saved me..."
After a pause, he added, "It might have been from the first time you beat me up."
Qiao Lan was silent. Why did he still remember the beating?
Ye Qi followed her in silence, looking at her the whole time.
The door was closed, and the room was silent, so quiet they could almost hear each other's heartbeats. The clamor in the corridor and courtyard seemed distant yet distinct. The medical center was always bustling with people, making the few moments they had alone in the quiet room seem like stolen time.
The window that was not closed tightly creaked twice and was pushed open by the teacup dog from the outside.
It squeezed in with a piece of paper in its mouth, jumped off the windowsill, and then jumped onto Ye Qi's quilt, and spit the note into Ye Qi's hand as if to seek credit.
Ye Qi picked up the note and recognized the Morse code message on it. The long and short symbols, combined with the code book drawn up within the base, he could know what the symbols meant.
"Be careful of the poisonous rain... Is this the letter you wrote to me?" He looked at Qiao Lan.
Only a few people know the internal code book, and the others are all in the base, so there is no need to write a coded letter to him.
But why did Qiao Lan write a coded letter? He could have used the communicator. He didn't understand.
"It's a new communication attempt. I'll tell you in detail later." Qiao Lan saw that Cha Cha remembered the messenger Xiao Haozi, and also remembered the message sent by Xiao Haozi.
"Did you miss me the past few days?"
Ye Qi looked at Qiao Lan and answered honestly: "Yeah."
"So you found a woman to eat and sleep with?"
Ye Qi was stunned. Where did this come from?
Chacha jumped into Qiao Lan's arms, rubbing his head against her to curry favor. Qiao Lan then took out a piece of beef jerky and gave it to her. Chacha held the beef jerky in her mouth, whimpering with excitement. She jumped to the corner of the bed, found a comfortable position, and began to gnaw on the meat.
"I didn't look for a woman to eat with..."
"Okay, no need to explain."
Qiao Lan interrupted.
As soon as she saw Ye Qi's expression, she knew that it was not the case. As far as she knew, Ye Qi was not that kind of person.
I guess there was a problem with the message.
None of this matters.
The important thing is... She asked: "You kissed me and said you liked me. Are you going to have a relationship with me?"
Ye Qi immediately said "hmm", but then said: "It's just that I've never been in a relationship before, so I don't know how to start one. Besides, the world nowadays doesn't seem to be suitable for dating."
He felt a little guilty when he said this.
In this precarious world, it seems irresponsible and like a scumbag for him to express his love for a girl.
Because there is no way to make any promises.
It is possible that he promised to be together forever in the morning and died in the evening.
But he couldn't help it.
He was so weak after the battle that he was about to faint. The moment Qiao Lan held him in her arms, he suddenly had an idea - how nice it would be if it could always be like this.
When I woke up just now and saw her in front of me, I felt the same way.
I couldn't help but want to be closer to her.
But indeed, I feel guilty.
"If... I have offended you, I apologize. I'm sorry, please forget my... recklessness just now, just think of it as a dog bite." He said sincerely.
In TV dramas, when girls are offended by someone they don’t like, don’t they often say, “Just think of it as a dog bite”?
Cha Cha looked up while holding the beef jerky: "Woof woof woof?"
"Eat your food and don't get involved." Qiao Lan glared at it.
Cha Cha lowered her head and continued eating.
Qiao Lan touched the side of her face and lips that had been kissed.
"I don't think it was a dog bite. If I were bitten by a dog, I wouldn't blush or feel nervous. If you forget about the apocalyptic environment, you actually want to fall in love with me, right?"
Ye Qi said yes.
Qiao Lan said, "Let's talk about it. I might like you a little bit."
Ye Qi's eyes suddenly became like stars at the beginning of the night, bright and sharp, yet gentle and moving.
