Sheng Yingying felt sour and sweet in her heart, and bubbles were bubbling.
Bubbles kept coming out, filling my heart and spreading outwards. Even my breathing was sweet.
The two of them just kept looking at each other, the look in their eyes so thick that it was almost thread-like.
But suddenly, Sheng Yingying squatted down on the side of the road and started crying like a soft little lamb.
Chen Lie was a little flustered and squatted down beside her hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Yingying cried and complained, "You said that on purpose because you felt sorry for me, right? You felt sorry for me because I almost got cheated. You saw that I was in a bad mood and that I kept crying, so you deliberately said that you liked me. That must be the case. If you really liked me, why did you reject me the first time I confessed to you? Chen Lie, I don't like your charity to me, wuwuwu..."
Chen Lie felt both amused and distressed. He squatted side by side with Sheng Yingying, stretched out his arms, and completely covered the little girl's thin shoulders, "No, no charity. The reason I rejected you before was because I felt I was unworthy.
You know, I'm different from you. I was married before, but never divorced. Lu Wenwen died, and my father died when I was very young. My mother passed away a while ago, too. I'm all alone. Some old people even say I'm a lonely star, and that the people around me don't have a good life. You're a clean, innocent girl, and I don't think I'm worthy of you."
After hearing Chen Lie's explanation, the little girl cried even harder. One hand tightly grasped the front of his shirt, her big eyes filled with tears, full of innocence, staring at him, "How could you do this? I thought you really didn't like me at all. Do you know how long I've been sad?"
Chen Lie's Adam's apple visibly rolled, and he reached out to hug Sheng Yingying into his arms, kissing the top of her head, "I'm sorry."
She leaned against him and breathed a breath of warm air, her eyes moving, "Then why did you change your mind now?"
Chen Lie said softly, "I'm afraid you'll be plotted against again. Instead of being so nervous, it's better to keep the person by my side. I'll protect my people."
Sheng Yingying smiled with tears in her eyes.
Like a little cannonball, she rushed into Chen Lie's arms, "Chen Lie, Chen Lie, I'm so happy that you like me!"
Chen Lie was also touched by her joy and hugged him tightly, watching the dancing of her eyebrows and eyes. There was no moon in the sky today, but her beautiful eyelashes formed a small crescent moon, and the blush on her cheeks was like the halo of moonlight.
Chen Lie pulled her up and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you back to the compound so your brother and sister-in-law won't worry."
Sheng Yingying was so delicate and soft. Holding his hand, their body temperature was transmitted to each other through their palms. Sheng Yingying had never been so happy as she was now. It seemed that the haze caused by Liu Youzhi had disappeared. "Chen Lie, am I your partner from now on?"
Chen Lie shook his hand vigorously, as if asking, "What else?"
The little girl curled her red lips slightly, her long eyelashes hiding the joy in her eyes. "Then we'll be together in the future, Chen Lie. I like you so much, you know that? Every time I waited outside the compound for pork, it was just to get a glimpse of you."
Chen Lie suddenly remembered what Chen Wei had said before, "Why do I feel that every time I come to deliver pork with you, I am more popular than when I come alone to deliver pork?"
Chen Lie smiled and hummed, "I know."
"Then do you know when I started to like you?"
"Is it from... the last time I saved you?"
"You're so smart! Then let me ask you, when did you start liking me?"
"..." The man was silent for a moment. There were many answers to this question that could please the girl, but he chose to tell the truth. "I can't really say. It might have been the first time we danced together, or when I saw you bravely confess your love to me, or when you first gave me insoles, or when I saw you crying because you were bullied..."
Sheng Yingying snorted proudly, "You said so much, isn't it all because of the time you saved me?"
Arrive outside the military compound.
Sheng Yingying reluctantly held Chen Lie's finger and shook it back and forth.
"Okay, let's go back."
"I'm so afraid this is all a dream."
"Then I'll wait for you tomorrow morning?"
"real?!"
"Um."
"Wouldn't that be too hard? You still have to work during the day and have so much to do."
"Your business is also serious. Be good and go back. I will wait for you here tomorrow morning."
This was more pleasing than any sweet words. "Okay! I'm leaving."
Chen Lie stood where he was, his eyes always glued to the little girl. He watched her figure disappear from his sight, then he lowered his eyes and smiled. He pinched his fingers together and rubbed them lightly, having just been swayed by the little girl.
He likes her.
No doubt about it.
Chen Lie turned around and went home with ease.
——
Sheng Yingying walked in with her back hunched.
"Why are you back now?"
"sister in law!"
The old lady sitting nearby picking beans glanced over and said, "Oh! Are they confirmed?"
Sheng Yingying: “…”
The old lady smiled and joked, "You look like you're in love."
Sheng Yingying stamped her feet in shame, "Auntie, please stop talking!"
The old lady gestured to Zhou Sese, "See, I guessed right."
