Jian Zhizhen has decided to confess her feelings, but she plans to praise him first as a brief prelude to avoid scaring him.
"Bai Bai, I've been thinking about it carefully, and you've been helping me all along."
Although he never said it outright, she knew that Qin Yubai's purpose in coming to the show was to help her find the truth.
Moreover, no matter what conflicts she has with others, he unconditionally stands by her side, believes in her, and protects her.
"Bai Bai, you're such a nice person." Jian Zhizhen praised him sincerely.
Qin Yubai felt like this was a goddess giving a friend card to a simp.
However, he still replied happily, "It's good that you know."
Jian Zhizhen continued to focus on drying his hair.
However, Qin Yubai's hair was already half-dry, so she was just making an excuse to call him to her side.
If you keep rubbing, it will generate static electricity.
She slowly let go of his hand, intending to tell him that she was all better, when she suddenly saw his muscular body through the collar of his loose pajamas.
She shifted her position and sat down next to him, continuing her build-up and praise: "Bai Bai, your face is exactly my type, and you have a great figure too. I didn't expect that you, who are usually focused on scientific research, would still have time to exercise."
Qin Yubai stared straight at her: "..."
I felt even more panicked.
Hurry up!
Just cut me down and give me a quick death!!!
Jian Zhizhen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lifted the hem of her pajamas: "Look, I don't even have abs."
Qin Yubai caught a glimpse of her fair and flat abdomen, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He quickly grabbed Jian Zhizhen's hand to stop her from lifting it any higher.
Qin Yubai was flustered and only dared to look into her eyes, avoiding looking anywhere else.
He asked, flustered, "What's wrong with you? Just tell me what's going on."
"What's wrong with me?" Jian Zhizhen asked, then seemed to suddenly understand something. She lowered her eyes, looking somewhat pitiful. "Are you going to accuse me of being a pervert again?"
Qin Yubai's heart was suddenly gripped.
He also remembered talking about her once when they were children.
But he didn't mean it; he was just... just shy.
He was secretly thrilled when the girl he liked made a move on him.
But I'm afraid that if I act too enthusiastically, I'll look like a hooligan.
That's why they solemnly stopped that kind of behavior.
He felt guilty seeing Jian Zhizhen bring it up again: "Did I cause you a lot of psychological harm by saying that to you when you were little?"
Jian Zhizhen lowered his head and remained silent.
Actually, it's alright; she wasn't traumatized by it at all.
He once told her about her "hooligan behavior," but she didn't take it to heart at all.
The real reason she distanced herself from him was because she was young at the time and was easily influenced by outside opinions.
When Qin Yubai won the award, top media outlets praised him as a "god," and people online said the same thing.
Later, she was also brainwashed and came to believe that Qin Yubai was aloof and noble, an otherworldly god.
Just thinking about it is a desecration of him.
In addition, she couldn't solve the math problems Qin Yubai had left her back then, so she thought there was a barrier between her and Qin Yubai, and that she was not good enough for him.
And then... for five years they remained distant and estranged.
Over the past five years, she has grown up on her own, with him as her role model.
She enrolled in the school he attended, entered different fields, and gradually moved closer to him.
After their reunion, she slowly realized that she was quite capable herself.
How am I not good enough for him?
Qin Yubai saw that Jian Zhizhen remained silent for a long time after he asked her a question, and thought that he had really hurt her.
He felt both heartache and guilt, and reached out to cup her face in his hands, making her look up and meet his gaze.
He offered his belated apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't actually think you were a scoundrel at the time, I just didn't know how to say it..."
Although Jian Zhizhen didn't blame him, she found it amusing to see how nervous he was, so she went along with the act.
She pursed her lips, her eyes drooped, and her voice trembled with tears: "You have no idea how much you hurt me. I developed androgyny after that, and I've never dared to have any contact with the opposite sex since I was a child."
Qin Yubai: "..."
Help.
Her performance in this scene was so half-hearted; if you look closely, you can see she was trying not to laugh.
And what kind of lines did she come up with?
What the hell is this misogyny? In the beginning, she pretended to be a simp to please other men. Didn't she have a whole set of routines every day?
I don't see any misogyny here!
But even though he could tell at a glance that she was deliberately feigning helplessness and trying to make him feel guilty.
He still couldn't help but soften his heart.
Forget it, I'll just go along with her.
Qin Yubai pulled Jian Zhizhen into his arms, gently patted her back, and coaxed her tenderly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'll help you cure your androphobia from now on."
Qin Wang: Good lad, after following you for so long, you've finally made progress under my tutelage. I'm confident I can live a few more days.
Jian Zhizhen buried her face in Qin Yubai's chest, listening to his firm heartbeat, and slowly reached out to gently hug his waist.
She has proven it herself.
There are no gods.
He and she were just ordinary people.
The warmth and peace of that moment lasted for quite a while.
In a daze, Qin Yubai had the same feeling as before.
I feel like they're already dating.
However, it's better to be straightforward about some things.
Just as he was mentally preparing what to say, Jian Zhizhen suddenly lifted her head from his embrace.
