Chapter 15: What about you? Do you still like me?
The sudden sound startled Song Lehan, and he was then choked by the water.
“Cough cough cough…”
Song Lehan leaned over and coughed rapidly, not forgetting to grab the medicine bottle.
She waved at Xu Jiangcuo and muttered, "Nothing, nothing."
Xu Jiangcuo didn't ask any more questions, but patted her back again and again, trying to relieve her cough.
"Come, drink some water and relax." Xu Jiangcuo raised his hand and gently patted Song Lehan on the back, his eyes full of concern.
Song Lehan took the water, drank two sips and completely recovered.
"Why did you suddenly appear here?" She frowned and patted her chest again and again to soothe her frightened heart.
"Since you haven't returned to the team, the instructor asked me to come and check on you." Xu Jiangcuo paused, then asked, "What medicine did you take just now? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah... no, it's just..." Song Lehan looked away, thinking about how to fool him.
Xu Jiangcuo saw her hesitation and smiled lightly, very understanding. "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
"No, not this..."
"Let's go. If we take too long, the chief instructor will start urging us to come again."
Xu Jiangcuo interrupted Song Lehan's explanation with a calm expression. He took a half step back and gestured for Song Lehan to go first.
"good."
Song Lehan walked in front, but she always felt uneasy. After thinking about it, she stopped and turned around, trying to find a more reasonable explanation for herself.
The sudden stop caught Xu Jiangcuo, who was moving forward normally, off guard, and the two of them collided head-on.
"Acuo..."
Song Lehan paused, feeling the heat and wetness on his forehead, and his heart suddenly exploded.
Xu Jiangcuo's mouth touched her forehead.
The unexpected kiss lasted only two seconds.
Xu Jiangcuo was the first to react, took a half step back, and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't know you stopped."
“No, no…”
The three words "It's okay" almost came out of his mouth, but Song Lehan took them back in time.
Song Lehan, who is passionately pursuing Xu Jiangcuo, should not react shyly.
Song Lehan smiled and took a small step towards Xu Jiangcuo. The distance between them shortened again and the air began to become humid and hot.
"Acuo, you did it on purpose!" Her face was filled with unconcealable joy, and her tone was firm.
Xu Jiangcuo took another half step back and said, "I really didn't mean it."
"Then why are you stuttering?" She approached again.
“No, no.”
"Why don't you dare look at me?"
"I, I'm looking at you."
He retreated, and she pressed on until she had him cornered.
"I really didn't know you stopped." Xu Jiangcuo turned his head, coughed lightly, and lowered his head in compromise, "I'm sorry."
Song Lehan doesn't want to miss this great opportunity.
She took the initiative to support her hands on Xu Jiangcuo's side, staring at Xu Jiangcuo with her shining eyes, and moved her face closer to him, so close that their breaths intertwined.
"Acuo, you're blushing."
The hot and humid sound penetrated Xu Jiangcuo's ears, his body stiffened, and his heart was filled with ripples.
The teasing was successful.
Song Lehan smiled happily and asked again: "Acuo, do you still like me?"
The joking tone, coupled with her non-serious smile, completely brought Xu Jiangcuo back to his senses.
"What about you?" He looked at Song Lehan steadily, his eyes moving, "Do you still like me?"
Song Lehan was horny, but after taking the medicine, his mind was extremely clear, and he subconsciously replied, "Of course."
Xu Jiangcuo was not satisfied with this answer.
He moved sideways to Song Lehan's side, widening the distance between them and asked seriously, "Are you serious?"
The serious face made Song Lehan unconsciously stop smiling.
She grabbed Xu Jiangcuo's arms with both hands, smiled again, and showed her best acting skills.
"Of course I'm serious!"
"Actually, I regretted it a long time ago, but I was afraid of disturbing your life."
"Now we meet again. Isn't this God's chance to give us a fresh start?"
Xu Jiangcuo frowned, a questioning look flashing in his eyes, "You regretted it a long time ago, so why didn't you come to me?"
"I told you, I'm afraid of disturbing your life." Song Lehan's tone lacked confidence.
"Won't it bother me if you treat me like this now?"
Xu Jiangcuo's questioning again left Song Lehan speechless.
She could still make excuses to get by, but she knew Xu Jiangcuo wouldn't believe it.
If she had a hundred reasons, he would have a hundred and one questions in rebuttal.
Pretending is just pretending, it can never replace sincerity.
"Song Lehan, if you really still like me, you shouldn't do this."
Xu Jiangcuo lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "You shouldn't be so enthusiastic about me without knowing whether I'm single or not."
"You shouldn't have kept everything from me, not told me, and made me guess."
"You shouldn't be without..."
Having said this, Xu Jiangcuo suddenly paused, and his eyes gradually turned red.
"The premise of being together is sincerity, mutual love, and mutual trust."
He lowered his head and his voice sank. "I'm sorry, I can't trust you unconditionally right now."
Hearing these words, Song Lehan's heart twitched violently and his eyes gradually dimmed.
She clearly had no expectations of Xu Jiangcuo, but why did she still feel uncomfortable when she heard him say this?
My heart feels stuffy, as if someone is holding it, and it feels sour and astringent.
"Perhaps, we are not suitable at all." Xu Jiangcuo suddenly chuckled, "After all, a broken mirror cannot be mended."
He raised his eyes, his face relaxed. "That's it. It's good. You and I don't have to torture each other anymore."
"What do you think?" Xu Jiangcuo asked unwillingly.
Song Lehan lowered her head to avoid his gaze, and her acting skills dropped again.
The more critical the moment, the more she couldn't say anything against her heart and could only respond with silence.
Xu Jiangcuo didn't want to continue talking about it, so he simply turned around and left.
If you can't hear it, just pretend nothing was said.
Song Lehan didn't catch up with him, but stayed there for a long time, with Xu Jiangcuo's words circling in his mind.
The premise of being together is sincerity, mutual love and mutual trust.
If you think about it carefully, she has none of these three qualities.
Any relationship built on deception is a mirage.
Song Lehan's mind was in a mess, so confused that she didn't know whether she should continue pursuing Xu Jiangcuo or whether she should be sincere to him.
Before she thought it through, she and Xu Jiangcuo kept a distance as strangers.
Sometimes when the two met head-on, Song Lehan would always get away first.
This situation lasted for three days.
By doing this, they gave Ye Shuqing an opportunity. As long as Song Lehan saw Xu Jiangcuo, Ye Shuqing would definitely be beside him.
Song Lehan could pretend not to see it, but Jiang Yue became anxious.
