Chapter 98 I Like You
"You're not talking, are you not hearing clearly?" Jin Siyang took a step closer to her: "Cen Nian, I've been thinking about you all the time in the past two years."
Cen Nian couldn't help being surprised, her eyes trembling, and the fog in front of her eyes seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, so thick that she could hardly see Jin Siyang's appearance.
All I could hear him say was—
"I'll think about what you'll do if you encounter a difficult problem, or if the pressure of senior year is too great. Jiang City's mock exams are notoriously abnormal. Will you be affected by this?"
"Fortunately, none of these exist." Jin Siyang spoke in a deep and slow voice, his eyes filled with admiration. "Cen Nian, you must have endured a lot of hardships to become the provincial champion, right?"
The tear in Cen Nian's eyes just fell down.
Jin Siyang's eyes were filled with tenderness. He gently wiped the tears from Cen Nian's face with his thumb: "You cried like a cat, as pitiful as the stray white cat I just saw."
Cen Nian didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it when she heard Jin Siyang talking. However, Jin Siyang didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go, and it seemed as if he wanted to say everything he wanted to say in the past two years.
"You considered everyone, my dad, my mom, and the overall situation." Jin Siyang said hoarsely, "What about you? Why don't you think about yourself?"
"Or, what about me?" Jin Siyang said this with a bit of timidity: "Why haven't you thought about what I really want?"
Cen Nian cried for a while, her voice choked and sticky: "I have some, and I think about myself, so I stayed in the affiliated high school."
"Jin Siyang, but I can't." Cen Nian just repeated: "But I can't."
He didn't ask, he already knew the answer in his heart.
"You don't know how much Uncle Jin has done for me. Grandma was very sick, and my uncle and aunt couldn't give me any extra money. When I thought Grandma would leave me because of this, Uncle Jin showed up."
Jin Siyang listened to her crying story, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
"Later, I had to go to school, and going to school required money. They all said that girls only needed to graduate from junior high school and didn't need to study too much, but I wanted to study, and it was Uncle Jin who helped me." Cen Nian suddenly raised his eyes to look at him: "If it weren't for his help, I might never have met you in my life."
Sometimes she felt that she was just a blade of grass, and that grass could not get close to the expensive big trees living in fertile soil.
She and Jin Siyang are just like that.
"I'm timid and have no opinion of my own. Since I was a child, I've lived in other people's homes and learned all those so-called ways to please people. But in the end, I found that it was useless. People who don't like me still don't like me." At the end, there was even a hint of calmness in Cen Nian's choked voice. She accepted this rationally and calmly.
Until she met Jin Siyang, Aunt Liu and Uncle Li, Zhu Zhiyao, Song Ze... They were the best people to her besides her mother and grandmother.
And all of this was obtained because Jin Jingming brought her to Jiang City.
Jin Siyang was very patient. He listened attentively and wiped the tears from her face. When she was talking about something exciting, Cen Nian couldn't help but burp, and Jin Siyang patted her back gently.
"He has his own selfish motives." Jin Siyang said bluntly: "I have my own selfish motives too.
"Cen Nian, my selfish motive is that I like you, I really like you."
Cen Nian's eyes traced his eyebrows, and he said this directly and frankly.
This was the first time she heard Jin Siyang say that he liked her.
"Jin Siyang, what did you say?" Cen Nian seemed uncertain.
"I like you." Jin Siyang added, "Jin Siyang likes Cen Nian."
Cen Nian felt that the sky in his heart suddenly brightened.
"Don't hide from me, and don't reject me. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?" Jin Siyang smiled gently. Although he was asking for her opinion, he couldn't help but hold her hand: "There are too many people who like you, and I feel insecure."
Cen Nian was surprised by his directness, which was accompanied by a certain force that could not be refused.
Jin Siyang is still the same confident and proud person. In fact, he has not changed at all. He always has a sense of possession and control over the things he likes. He is still the same, stubbornly sticking to something.
All kinds of emotions, tangled, tangled with gratitude towards Jin Jingming, tangled because of Si Man.
Cen Nian looked at the young man in front of her. His eyes were clear and pure, and a hint of tenderness flashed across his sparse eyebrows. She was certain at this moment, no, she should have been certain of it even earlier, that the only thing she could not deceive herself about was -
She has always liked him.
Jin Siyang stroked her hand: "Cen Nian, trust me, just this once, okay? You can stand by my side without worry, and leave everything else to me until you are satisfied. Then you can choose to accept it, okay?"
Cen Nian suddenly lowered her eyes, bit her lip and silently told herself that she couldn't cry anymore. Her eyes were so swollen how could she not hold back?
"Jin Siyang, do you want to pursue me?"
"Um."
"I should be hard to chase." Cen Nian deliberately scared him. Her sticky voice didn't seem to have any momentum at all, and she still thought she was very fierce.
Jin Siyang smiled. He didn't say anything, but he thought it would be nice to have a cat. The older Cen Nian got, the less he looked like a pig and more like a cat.
Cen Nian's heartbeat gradually quickened, and she asked somewhat unnaturally: "Do you think I have become more beautiful?"
"Very beautiful, always beautiful." Jin Siyang praised frankly.
"Oh... then you have to work harder, Jin Siyang."
Jin Siyang was amused by her and actually laughed. When he laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he looked like a teenager.
The man who was always calm and self-controlled suddenly smiled brightly. Cen Nian felt as if there were stars in his eyes, and soon she was fascinated by him.
She warned herself secretly.
Cen Nian, wake up!
Now he is the one chasing people!
"Jin Siyang, are you making fun of me?" Cen Nian said unhappily.
"You're so cute." Jin Siyang whispered. She was so cute that he wanted to kiss her hard.
Cen Nian tugged at his clothes and said, "Maybe your efforts alone are not enough for some things. I should do something too."
For example, she had to work hard to make money and pay back the two million that Uncle Jin gave to her uncle.
This way she wouldn't feel so much pain.
Jin Siyang undoubtedly understood her. He touched her head gently, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of common consciousness.
The evening breeze blew, and leaves danced in the wind. Amidst the rustling noise, Jin Siyang smiled and asked with youthful vigor, "Classmate Cen, can I have a hug in advance?"
