Chapter 139: Express Your Feelings
Finally, as if he had made some kind of decision, Li Qihan suddenly stopped.
He pondered secretly and had already made up his mind.
That's right, after all the repeated thoughts and inner struggles over the past few days, he could finally confirm with absolute certainty his feelings for her.
This was an unprecedented and wonderful feeling! It wasn't just out of curiosity, nor was it just a temporary novelty; more importantly, this feeling had nothing to do with who she was, the daughter of a wealthy family, or the lovely sister of someone else.
At first, when he heard Gu Moci talk about her, he felt nothing but shock.
When he heard Gu Moci say that she was coming to the military district to participate in an exercise, giving him a chance to take care of her, he thought that even if he was there, he would just go to get to know her and give her some things she needed, and there wouldn't be anything to say.
But from the first time he met the girl, he developed an inexplicable liking and desire to protect her.
The second time, seeing her agree without hesitation to help her former teammate, willing to help him tell a white lie, and accompany him everywhere, he felt an even stronger possessiveness in his heart.
Seeing her being held hostage in the hospital, his heart seemed to stop for a second. He would choose to climb out the window to save her without hesitation. Not only did he have the mission as a soldier in his heart, but he was also afraid for the safety of the little girl. That was a worry he had never had before when rescuing hostages.
But when he saw that the little girl did not hug her family and cry like the others after being rescued, he began to feel distressed.
It seemed that it was from that time that he confirmed his feelings and decided that he wanted to be the one to accompany her for the rest of her life and protect her.
At first, he didn't dare admit it or tell anyone because he needed some time to confirm his feelings. If it was just a temporary impulse, he would have dismissed the idea in time.
But slowly, he found that he could not forget this feeling.
When he returned to the team, he would always recall every little moment they had spent together, even though there were other people around.
This was the letter I wrote before going on a mission. It was the first time I had the urge to write to someone other than my family and good brothers.
After this injury, and after spending almost half a month together, and this week, he found that the girl seemed to be quite happy when getting along with him, at least she was not nervous.
He didn't want to hesitate any longer, so he told her now. This would give her enough time to think, and also leave him with a special memory.
Li Qi Han knew that Gu Muruan would definitely not agree to be with him immediately, and she might not even be able to accept what he said for a while.
But the next time we meet, there will definitely be an answer.
At that time, although it might be a torture for him, for the little girl, it must have been the result of her careful consideration, and she would not regret any of her decisions.
"Nuannuan." Gu Muran didn't notice that Li Qihan had stopped and continued walking forward. Li Qihan called her.
"What's wrong?" Gu Muruan stopped and looked back at him.
"I have something to say to you." Li Qihan took two steps at a time and strode towards Gu Muruan, standing in front of her.
"What?" For some reason, Gu Muruan felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little tense at the moment.
"Nuannuan, can you... consider it for a moment... am I qualified to be your boyfriend?" Li Qihan asked in a very tactful way. He knew that he couldn't be too direct. He had to let the girl react for a while so that she wouldn't run away immediately.
Sure enough, as an excellent soldier and excellent commander, Li Qihan can easily understand a person's mind.
After hearing his words, Gu Munuan did not react. After half a minute, she finally understood what Li Qihan meant.
However, for Gu Muran, who had never thought about it in this regard, the word "boyfriend" was too unfamiliar.
"Boyfriend? Mine? Mine?" Gu Muruan's eyes were full of confusion as she looked up into Li Qihan's eyes.
How could Li Qihan bear to hear her look at him like that? He took a deep breath and said, "Well, your boyfriend, Nuannuan, I've never treated you like a sister from the beginning. I've always liked you. I like you and want to be with you, in a formal relationship."
Gu Muruan was completely stunned.
"Nuannuan, I know that you may not be able to accept these words at once, and you don't have to give me an immediate answer. But can you promise me that you will think about my problem carefully after you go back, okay?" Li Qihan gently guided Gu Muruan.
"Qi, Brother Qi Han, I..." Gu Muran didn't know how to start for a moment.
"Okay, you're almost becoming a little stutterer. Go back and think about it slowly. Give me the answer when we meet next time, okay?" Li Qi Han touched Gu Muruan's head.
Gu Muran nodded blankly.
Li Qihan noticed that the little girl's ears were very red, but he didn't point it out.
It was almost time, so Li Qi Han sent Gu Muruan back to the meeting place.
On the way back, neither of them spoke.
Gu Muran was a little shy and didn't know what to say.
Li Qihan had already said what he wanted to say, and he felt that the little girl probably didn't want to pay attention to him now.
However, before they parted ways, Li Qihan still held Gu Muruan's arm and said to her, "Nuannuan, don't think too much. You just need to know that I treat you differently from Wanwan, Xiaoyan and the others. It has been different since the first time I saw you."
Gu Muran didn't respond to his words. She just said "goodbye" and ran towards the bus to her hospital.
Gu Muran arrived late and sat in the last row by the window.
The cars drove away one by one. Gu Muruan saw Li Qihan standing at the place where they parted. He didn't move until the car she was in drove away.
On the return high-speed train, Gu Muruan still sat by the window. If it were the previous times, she would have liked to sit by the window so that she could enjoy the scenery passing by quickly.
But this time, she just leaned her head against the window and slowly digested what Li Qihan said to her.
Boyfriend? Gu Muruan had never thought of these three words.
Seeing Gu Moci and Mu Sheng together, and Gu Muwan and Mu Heng together, Gu Murun never fantasized about her other half.
Looking at the family formed by Gu Mocheng, Lu Qingqing and Gu Jingnian, and the family formed by Gu Muchia, Jiang Huai and Xiao Liuxu, Gu Muran never cared whether she would have such happiness in the future.
That's right, Gu Muruan is always lonely in her heart. This loneliness has never dissipated even with Gu Moci's careful care, Gu Muwan's warm company, Mu Sheng's enthusiastic guidance, and Gu's mother and other family members' sincere treatment.
A significant other? A home? Children? Happiness? Gu Muruan felt that these things were not something she could possess, much less control.
Because she doesn't know how to love someone at all.
