Chapter 77 I Want to Pursue You
The air was still for a moment, and even the sound of the wind blowing in from outside the window seemed exceptionally clear.
Chen Yubai paused on the strings for a half-beat, as if he were stunned for a moment. Then he quickly lowered his head, his lips forming a restrained curve, suppressing the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up wildly, but he still couldn't hide the fleeting light in the corner of his eyes.
"Oh." His voice was low, as if it rolled gently from the depths of his throat. After a pause, he added somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to ask."
"...It's nothing." Peng Chengyi pursed her lips slightly, relieved to see that she had managed to get away with it using this excuse.
But Zhou Haochen wouldn't let it go: "But you two only dated for two days, how come you broke up already?"
Peng Chengyi's fingers froze on the guitar for a moment, she forced a smile and said vaguely, "Well... it doesn't feel quite right."
"Does he think it's inappropriate, or do you think it's inappropriate?" Zhou Haochen tilted his head, looking like he wanted to get to the bottom of things.
“Uh…” Peng Chengyi’s breath hitched. Afraid that Chen Yubai would overthink if she said that she was the one who suggested it, she stammered.
"Alright," Chen Yubai suddenly interrupted, his fingertips tapping a series of crisp notes on the bass. "Let's get to rehearsing. Stop asking so many questions."
"I was just trying to help you..." Zhou Haochen stopped mid-sentence, then, seeing Chen Yubai's warning look, quickly changed his words, "It's okay, don't be sad, out with the old, in with the new."
“…Hmm.” Peng Chengyi nodded awkwardly, her heart tightening slightly.
During the rehearsals that followed, she never dared to look up at Chen Yubai again, as if he were a scorching light source, and that even a single glance would expose the secrets in her heart.
Until the last note dissipates into the air.
Zhou Haochen stretched and neatly put the drumsticks into his bag. He then hooked his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulder and said, "We've made plans to have barbecue with some people tonight. We'll head out first. You two can pack up slowly."
As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Chen Yubai, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
Chen Yubai lowered her eyelashes and took off her bass, ignoring his hint and only responding faintly.
"Bye-bye." Peng Chengyi waved, trying to sound cheerful as if to cover up her mistake.
The door closed softly, and the rehearsal room fell silent. The last rays of the setting sun streamed in through the blinds, and tiny dust particles floated slowly in the beams of light.
Peng Chengyi glanced furtively at Chen Yubai, who was tidying up his effects pedals. She was trying to figure out how to bring up the topic naturally and ask him if he wanted to go out for dinner together after putting away his instruments in the dorm. But Chen Yubai spoke first: "Are you alright?"
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, and she answered almost instinctively, "It's fine..."
Chen Yubai paused, then slowly raised his head. His gaze was calm, yet held a hint of inquiry as he swept across her face, as if trying to see through all her pretenses.
After a long pause, he spoke in a low voice: "There's no need to pretend in front of me. Just say you're upset."
Peng Chengyi was taken aback, then realized that he was actually concerned about her breakup.
That was close!
She almost blurted out what he said, revealing that she wasn't sad at all.
Peng Chengyi hurriedly lowered her eyes, using the action of putting down her guitar to compose herself. When she looked up again, she deliberately softened her tone, letting her voice carry a hint of sadness: "Then what's the use of me saying I'm sad? We've already broken up."
Chen Yubai was silent for a moment, then gently leaned the bass against the wall, turned around, and the setting sun cast a warm glow behind him: "At least, I can keep you company and help you relax."
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed the urge to smile and deliberately put on a stern face, but her voice held a hint of joy: "It's a wonder you still have a conscience."
"Please, I'm not you." Chen Yubai turned his face away and scoffed.
“…I have a good conscience too, okay?!” Peng Chengyi puffed out her cheeks and said, “If you’re heartbroken, I’ll definitely keep you company and cheer you up.”
Chen Yubai gave a noncommittal smile and pushed open the door to the rehearsal room: "Let's go for a walk on the playground next door. It's a bit early to go to the cafeteria for lunch now."
“…Okay.” Peng Chengyi pretended to hesitate for a moment before following him out of the rehearsal room.
As dusk deepened, the evening breeze, carrying the moist scent of grass and earth, gently caressed the tree-lined avenue in front of the building. The sycamore leaves rustled overhead, filtering the last rays of the setting sun into dappled golden light that danced on their shoulders.
With his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on the swaying shadows of the trees ahead, Chen Yubai asked casually, "So, was it Ke Xingjian who suggested the breakup?"
Peng Chengyi was slightly taken aback. She had originally thought that he had interrupted Zhou Haochen's questioning in the rehearsal room because he didn't care about her breakup.
"You... why are you so gossipy?" she stammered slightly, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"I don't understand the situation clearly, so how can I offer you advice?" His voice was calm and even, as if he were simply fulfilling his duty as a friend.
"Oh." Peng Chengyi pursed her lips with mixed feelings, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth, "Actually... it was me who suggested it."
Chen Yubai paused slightly, raising an eyebrow: "You brought it up? Didn't you say he was perfect in every way? How come you broke up with him so quickly?"
“Because I’m a little averse to physical contact with him…” Peng Chengyi lowered her head shyly, her ears burning slightly. “Fang Hao said that if you like someone, you wouldn’t act like this. So I think I might not actually like him, so I just broke up with him.”
“I see.” Chen Yubai paused, turned his head, and looked at her with a probing gaze. “Then I saw that you two were holding hands a couple of days ago.”
"We only held hands once. I wanted to try, but it just felt so awkward..." Peng Chengyi shook her head with a wry smile, then suddenly realized something and looked up in confusion, "Wait, where did you see that? Weren't you still in the library then?"
“…I had just finished my homework after you left,” Chen Yubai said, his eyes subtly shifting away, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly, “so I followed you.”
"What a coincidence?" Peng Chengyi looked at him suspiciously. "I have this feeling that you've been monitoring my dating life. Did my dad assign you some task to report on my relationship status?"
After all, every time she called home, Peng Weiguo would remind her not to rush into dating and to keep her eyes open. She was tired of hearing it.
"No, it's just a coincidence." Chen Yubai unconsciously raised his hand and touched the back of his neck.
Upon seeing this, Peng Chengyi immediately narrowed her eyes and slowly exposed him, saying, "...Do you think I can't tell you're lying?"
Chen Yubai's hand paused, then stiffly lowered. After a moment, he chuckled, "I just have a slightly itchy neck."
"Really?" Peng Chengyi didn't believe it, her gaze sweeping across his face.
"Really." He resisted the urge to touch his neck again and put his hand back in his pocket.
Peng Chengyi stared at him for a few seconds before looking away: "Hmph, if I find out that you and my dad are in cahoots, I definitely won't let you off the hook."
"I'm not that bored." Chen Yubai chuckled lazily, concealing the subtle evasiveness in his eyes.
The two walked in silence for a while, the wind blowing through Peng Chengyi's hair, making her nose a little itchy.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to tidy her hair, Chen Yubai suddenly reached out and tucked the stray strands of hair back behind her ear.
His fingertips were slightly cool, as if carrying a faint electric current, as they brushed against her soft earlobe.
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, his slender fingers pinched her chubby cheek.
"...Why did you suddenly pinch me!" She suppressed her pounding heart and turned her face away, pretending to be angry.
"Want to give it a try?" He casually withdrew his hand, a flippant smile on his face.
"Try what?" she frowned, feeling inexplicably flustered.
"Let's see if you're averse to me touching you." He paused, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "It seems not. You wouldn't... actually like me, would you?"
Peng Chengyi's heart clenched instantly, her cheeks flushed crimson, and her breathing became erratic. She hurriedly shook her head, her voice rapid, "...What nonsense are you talking about! I... how could I like you!"
"Then why didn't you dodge when I pinched your cheek?" He raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a playful curiosity.
"That's because we're too familiar with each other!" She tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled involuntarily. "So I'm immune to your physical contact! When you touch me, it's not much different from when my mother touches me!"
Chen Yubai noticed her blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to behind her ears, and his smile deepened. He asked half-jokingly, "Then, if your mother touches you, do you also blush?"
"..." Peng Chengyi was speechless for a moment, feeling her whole face burning. "My blush is purely from being angered by your nonsense!"
"And besides, you're not here to cheer me up, you're here to make me miserable! I'm not going with you, I'm going back to my dorm!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly turned to walk back. The hem of her skirt drew a flustered arc in the twilight.
She had only taken two steps when Chen Yubai grabbed her wrist.
She paused, her heart skipped a beat, and after a few seconds she realized what was happening and tried to pull away, but he only gripped her tighter.
"Okay, it's my fault." His voice lowered, becoming unusually soft. "I shouldn't have joked around like that."
The warmth of his palm made her even more flustered. Peng Chengyi didn't dare to look back, and could only force a hum, then changed her excuse to escape, saying, "I can barely forgive you. But I suddenly remembered that Fang Hao needs to see me tonight. I almost forgot earlier, so I still have to go back to the dormitory first."
“…Oh, then you can go back first.” Chen Yubai slowly released his hand, his voice soft, blending into the deepening twilight.
Peng Chengyi: "Okay, bye-bye."
Whether it was her imagination or not, she always felt that there was a hint of reluctance in his actions.
But fearing he would notice more, she dared not investigate further and quickly left.
Only Chen Yubai remained standing there, watching her hurried departure, his emotions flickering under the streetlights.
-
Perhaps out of consideration for her heartbreak, for the next two weeks, Chen Yubai would message her on WeChat almost every day at noon and in the evening, asking routinely: "Anyone want to have lunch together?" If not, he could keep her company.
Although Peng Chengyi did want to spend more time with him, she was afraid that her hidden feelings would be seen through, so she could only pretend to be natural occasionally, and only type "I can go with you" when her roommate had something to do.
Despite having expectations, one must suppress them and act as if nothing is wrong.
At this moment, she truly regretted why she insisted on an independent college life and kept her distance from him.
Now, I even have to find an excuse to have a meal with him.
This is probably the best explanation of reaping what you sow.
Peng Chengyi sat at her desk in the dormitory, resting her chin on her hand. Her gaze was fixed on the computer screen that was still on, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.
After a while, she sighed, closed her laptop, and was about to get up to wash up when her phone suddenly vibrated, and a message from Chen Yubai popped up on the screen—
"There's a basketball game in the Mathematics Department the day after tomorrow, are you interested in coming?"
Peng Chengyi felt an irrepressible surge of excitement. She picked up her phone and, feigning indifference, replied, "Any handsome guys? If so, I'll go."
Less than half a minute later, a reply popped up in the chat box: "Am I not handsome?"
Peng Chengyi paused for a moment, but couldn't help but smile as she typed quickly, "What's there to calculate? Could you be any more narcissistic?"
Chen Yubai: "Tch, could you be any more blind?"
Peng Chengyi: "...Watch out or I'll smash your dog head in."
Chen Yubai: "Oh, come on then if you dare."
Chen Yubai: "The day after tomorrow at 2 pm, at the South Campus basketball court."
Peng Chengyi: "Fine, you just wait."
After replying, she reread their conversation, and only when she felt that she hadn't given away any hint of expectation did she put down her phone and continue washing up.
-
On the day of the basketball game, the sun was shining brightly, and the early summer breeze carried a humid and hot atmosphere.
A large crowd had gathered around the field, their shouts rising and falling like waves, creating an atmosphere so enthusiastic it seemed to set the entire afternoon ablaze.
Peng Chengyi wrapped his arms around the bottle of still-steaming mineral water, his palms unconsciously sweating.
I think that if a girl is watching a game and brings water to a boy, it would seem like she's being considerate.
So she mustered up the courage to buy a bottle before coming.
But she had never done anything like this before, and just imagining the scene of handing Chen Yubai a bottle of mineral water made her extremely flustered.
Moreover, there were too many people around her, so she didn't dare to push forward and could only retreat to the edge of the court.
She tried to appear nonchalant, her gaze casually sweeping across the field before quickly settling on the boy's figure.
He wore a white jersey, his movements swift and precise, his shooting motion so clean it seemed as if outlined by light. Sweat trickled down his chin, yet his expression remained composed. Every time the ball went in, a roar of cheers erupted from the sidelines.
This dog is truly dazzling.
During halftime, I bet a bunch of girls will be vying to give him water...
She's standing so far away, and she's so hesitant and timid. Does she really think she'll get a turn?
Peng Chengyi lowered her head nervously, her fingers unconsciously tightening, making a "crackling" sound as she squeezed the bottle.
Soon, the halftime whistle blew. The crowd immediately erupted in a clamor, almost pushing her to the far corner.
Chen Yubai raised his hand and wiped away his sweat haphazardly. Before he could catch his breath, his gaze had already swept across the audience.
Soon, he spotted Peng Chengyi, who was holding a mineral water bottle and huddled in a corner.
He smiled slightly, casually waved aside several girls who approached him, and then walked steadily toward her.
Peng Chengyi's heart tightened, and she suddenly regretted bringing him water. What if he noticed something was wrong with her?
She quickly lowered her eyes, pretending not to see, and stared intently at the tips of her shoes.
Until a tall shadow fell.
He reached out naturally and took the bottle of water from her arms. His fingertips brushed against her palm, and for a moment, the heat made her heart tremble.
"Thanks." He smiled, his voice still slightly breathless. "You came all this way to bring me water."
Before he finished speaking, he had already unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and taken a swig. The curve of his Adam's apple bobbing made Peng Chengyi's ears burn.
She hurriedly turned her face away, muttering in a low voice, "...I didn't say it was for you."
"Oh?" Chen Yubai raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on her reddened earlobes, his voice trailing off lazily, "So, which handsome guy on the field do you plan to give it to?"
Peng Chengyi choked, her fingertips nervously rubbing the bottle, her throat feeling like something was stuck in it, and she stammered, "Can't I...can't I buy this for myself?"
"So the first half of the game is over, and you haven't had a drink yet?" Chen Yubai curled his lips, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
"...I...I'm not that thirsty yet." She forced herself to speak, but dared not look up at his face. Her long eyelashes fluttered violently, and even she could feel her own guilt.
Chen Yubai stared at her quietly for two seconds, his eyes seeming to see right through her, before slowly screwing the cap back on and handing it back to her: "The rest is for you to drink."
Peng Chengyi was taken aback, worried that he hadn't had enough to drink and would be thirsty again on stage, so she quickly looked up and said, "You've already drunk it, why are you leaving it to me..."
"I can't drink anymore." He smiled faintly, and without giving her a chance to refuse, he shoved the half-full bottle of water back into her arms. His hand naturally landed on the top of her head and ruffled it. The movement was as casual as breathing, yet it carried a kind of intimacy that made her heart flutter.
"I'm going back to playing," he said, turning around gracefully and striding towards the court.
“Oh…” Peng Chengyi responded blankly, his gaze following the tall, slender figure until he was immersed back in the fervent noise of the arena, at which point he slowly came to his senses.
She glanced down at the water bottle in her arms, still warm from his palm. Her heart tightened suddenly, and she remembered the summer after her junior year of high school when they went to his villa to watch a movie. He accidentally took her Coke and drank from it. Zheng Xinyue teased her, saying that it counted as an indirect kiss.
At the time, she thought the statement was ridiculously absurd.
But at this moment, her fingertips tightened unconsciously, and she found herself wanting to unscrew the bottle cap as if possessed.
Peng Chengyi squeezed the loose bottle cap in his hand and quietly glanced towards the stadium.
Chen Yubai received the ball from his teammate, his figure tracing a clean arc in the sunlight.
Only after confirming that he had refocused on the game did she raise the water bottle, her heart pounding as if she had tasted forbidden fruit.
The water was cool, sliding down her throat, but it felt like a scorching heat exploded in her heart, burning her earlobes and cheeks until they flushed red.
On the court, Chen Yubai landed a beautiful dunk, panting, and habitually looked in her direction.
When my gaze fell upon her, I noticed that her lips were still damp with moisture, and her face was flushed and burning.
He raised the corners of his lips, revealing a barely suppressed smile.
-
The moment the final whistle blew, the atmosphere in the stadium exploded, with screams, applause, and whistles erupting all around.
The bright red numbers on the scoreboard stood firmly on the winning score. The heat wave, mixed with the humidity of early summer, surged in from all directions, carrying the smell of sweat, the sound of the wind, and the restlessness of youth.
Chen Yubai, who contributed the most points, lifted his jersey and casually wiped the sweat from his face. His teammates had already swarmed over, so excited they couldn't even control their voices, patting his shoulder and shouting, "Let's go, let's go eat and celebrate!"
"No, thank you." He smiled lazily and waved his hand.
"Hey—" someone teased, laughing knowingly, "You're not going out to eat with your girlfriend, are you?"
Chen Yubai didn't explain, he just shrugged, his expression calm and composed, and walked straight out of the crowd.
As he walked towards her tall figure, Peng Chengyi nervously swallowed and subconsciously slung the water bottle behind her back. When he reached her, she tried to appear natural and said softly, "Congratulations on finally winning a basketball game."
"Well, thanks to someone being unusually quiet today." Chen Yubai raised an eyebrow and smiled, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Peng Chengyi was taken aback, then suddenly remembered that when he sprained his ankle in a basketball game in high school, he blamed it on her cheering being too loud, saying that he only heard her shouting.
Back then, she thought he was talking nonsense. But now, just the phrase "only her voice could be heard" is incredibly ambiguous.
Memories flooded back, and her ears burned instantly, her palms sweating slightly. To hide it, she pursed her lips, quickly handing him the water bottle from behind her back, changing the subject: "Do you still want some water? I haven't been thirsty at all, I haven't touched it..."
"Drink." A barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. Without pointing it out, he took the water bottle and tilted his head back for a gulp.
The cool water slid down his Adam's apple, and his sharply defined profile was bathed in sunlight, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away.
Soon, the bottle was empty. He lowered his eyes, tightened the cap, and casually asked, "It's the weekend, want to go out for dinner together?"
Peng Chengyi paused, her gaze drifting towards the court, and hesitantly asked, "Don't you need to celebrate with your teammates or anything?"
"No need, it's more important to help you get through this heartbreak." Chen Yubai smiled lazily and casually tossed the empty bottle into a nearby trash can.
The bottle traced a beautiful arc and landed steadily inside.
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat. Suppressing her inner excitement, she pretended to be calm and teased him, "You're a true friend."
Chen Yubai shrugged noncommittally: "What do you want to eat? It's on me."
Peng Chengyi hesitated for a moment, thinking that going to a Western restaurant might create a better dating atmosphere, before cautiously probing, "I'd like to eat some high-end steak."
“Okay,” he answered readily, without the slightest hesitation.
Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily, and Peng Chengyi suddenly felt a little flustered. She quickly added, "Um, I heard that high-end steaks are very expensive."
"I'm not short of money." Chen Yubai said casually, took out his phone, and slid his long fingers across the screen a few times to find a restaurant with an outrageously high average price per person. "Look at this one, the reviews are pretty good, and it's not far from the school."
Peng Chengyi leaned closer to take a look, and her eyes widened instantly.
This person was several hundred yuan more expensive than she had imagined, and even though she was using her heartbreak as an excuse, she felt embarrassed to extort him like that.
He shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Forget it, it's too expensive, let's go to another one..."
“If you want to eat, then go eat. There’s no need to change.” Chen Yubai put his phone back in his pocket, his voice firm and unquestionable. “Wait for me a moment. I’ll go back to my dorm to change my clothes, and then we’ll leave.”
"..." Peng Chengyi stood there stunned for a long time. It wasn't until the noisy stadium gradually quieted down that she slowly came back to her senses, suppressed the pounding in her heart, and sat down on a bench by the stadium.
Was it just her imagination?
He seemed unusually easy to talk to today.
Although he had agreed to many of her unreasonable requests in the past, each time it involved a verbal tug-of-war. She had to coax him, beg him, and shower him with compliments before he would reluctantly nod.
But today, everything seemed to be going smoothly, as if he was always happy to fulfill her wishes.
Peng Chengyi lowered her head, her mind in turmoil. Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt, gently curling it and then releasing it.
Just as she was immersed in her complicated emotions, Chen Yubai's figure slowly came into her sight.
He changed into a loose-fitting light-colored shirt, paired with faded jeans, looking casual yet dashing. The afterglow of the setting sun shone down from behind him, making his silhouette appear as if it had been outlined by light.
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat. She sat up straighter, her fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, leaving tiny white marks on her fingertips.
"Shall we go?" He stopped in front of her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a faint smile in his eyes, which seemed to hide some unspoken meaning.
"Mm." Peng Chengyi nodded gently, trying to make her movements more natural. She took a deep breath, slowly got up, and followed him out of the campus.
When the two arrived at the Western restaurant, the sky was already tinged with a light pink glow, and the city lights, like crushed stars, were reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the restaurant feel soft and romantic.
Peng Chengyi looked down at the menu, too guilty to choose anything too expensive, only daring to order the cheapest options. Chen Yubai couldn't help but chuckle and raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you wanted steak? Why are you ordering salad or mashed potatoes instead?"
"I... don't feel very hungry, I probably can't eat steak." She laughed awkwardly, hurriedly handing him the menu, her palms slightly sweaty.
"Oh." Chen Yubai took the menu, flipped through it, and decisively ordered the restaurant's signature tomahawk steak, plus a strawberry mousse.
"Don't you dislike sweets?" Peng Chengyi whispered, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"You like to eat it," he replied casually, as if stating a self-evident fact.
Peng Chengyi was stunned for a moment, as if something had gently bumped into her heart, causing ripples to spread slowly. Her face flushed slightly, and her heartbeat quickened.
When the steak was served, the tomahawk steak, which took up half the table, seemed a bit exaggerated. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "This steak is so big! It feels like four people couldn't finish it!"
"I'm worried you might get hungry later and there won't be anything left to eat. You can pack some to take back to your dorm. There are public microwaves downstairs," Chen Yubai said, lowering his eyes to pick up a knife and fork, cutting off a piece of steak and placing it on her plate. "Try it, see if it tastes like what you want."
Peng Chengyi pursed her lips, her feelings complicated, her fingertips lightly touching the knife and fork, and finally couldn't help but ask, "You... why are you being so nice today?"
Chen Yubai paused, slowly raised his eyes, his gaze appearing exceptionally deep in the candlelight: "Wasn't I good before?"
“It’s not that it’s bad…” She subconsciously avoided his gaze, the stray hairs behind her ears swaying gently with her head shaking, “It’s just that she’s not the same as usual, she’s not sarcastic anymore, it’s like she’s a different person.”
"So you think I've become gentler?" He raised an eyebrow slightly, with a hint of probing.
"Mmm..." she responded softly, her voice trailing off gently.
"That's fine then." He nodded casually and continued cutting the steak.
Looking at his long, lowered eyelashes, Peng Chengyi felt the subtle unease in her heart swell even more, and couldn't help but mutter, "No... what's wrong with you today?"
"What, is being gentle with you considered crazy?" Chen Yubai chuckled, raising an eyebrow with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Didn't you complain before that I wasn't as gentle and considerate as Ke Xingjian?"
Peng Chengyi's breath hitched slightly. She gripped her knife and fork tightly in a flustered manner, her voice trembling as she said, "Why...why do you want to compete with him again...what exactly do you want to do?"
Chen Yubai looked at her quietly. The restaurant lights slipped from his hair, casting a soft shadow on his profile.
There seemed to be a momentary pause in the air, with only the crisp sound of cutlery colliding with porcelain plates delaying the heartbeat.
He slowly put down his knife and fork, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "Isn't it obvious enough?"
Peng Chengyi didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at him and blinking.
"Obvious of what?" Her voice unconsciously softened, as if something was choking her breath.
Chen Yubai leaned back casually in his chair, his eyes half-closed, and chuckled softly, "I want to pursue you."
