Zhu Qinghao suddenly tensed up when she saw his actions, and the courage she had just mustered seemed to have vanished by half.
But courage triumphed over cowardice; she took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Brother Sheng Yi, I want to ask you, do you... like me even a little bit?"
No one knows how overjoyed Sheng Yi was when he heard those words. If Zhu Qinghao hadn't been right in front of him, he would have jumped up and danced around a few times.
He clenched his fists tightly under the table, his veins bulging, and finally he pinched the inside of his thighs hard to control his excitement.
He took two deep breaths quietly before meeting Zhu Qinghao's gaze and answering her question seriously.
"Yes, okay, I like you, but there's one thing you're saying that's not quite right. My liking for you is really, really good, not just a little bit."
Moreover, my feelings for you started before you knew, so you can rest assured that it wasn't just lust at first sight, but something I decided to do after a long period of time.
I've thought very carefully about liking you and being willing to tell you this; it's definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Can you trust me? Okay?
Zhu Qinghao was a little dazed by these words, not knowing what to answer or what to ask, and just nodded blankly.
She herself didn't know why, but while she was genuinely happy about what Sheng Yi said, she also seemed completely unsurprised, including the fact that Sheng Yi had liked her for a long time.
When Sheng Yi saw her nod, he felt much relieved.
"Alright, Grandpa has also talked to me about this. I don't know about your past, but I do know that from now on, I want to always protect and support you, and please believe that I have the ability to do so."
As he spoke, he stood up and gave Zhu Qinghao a perfect salute.
"Comrade Zhu Qing, what follows is my self-introduction, which may take up a little of your time. Just listen to as much as you can, and ask me if you have any questions later."
My name is Sheng Yi, I am 1.82 meters tall and weigh 75 kilograms.
Currently serving as an attending military doctor at the ×× military hospital, responsible for daily surgical diagnosis and treatment as well as the management of inpatients. My current administrative rank is level 16, and my monthly salary is 95 yuan.
In addition, my parents died early, and now my grandfather is the only close relative left in the family. The family structure is simple, there are no potential family disputes, and we own three houses in Beijing and have some savings.
Moreover, my grandfather had a considerable pension and savings, so he had no pressure in terms of retirement.
As for myself, I consider myself to have decent features, I don't smoke or drink, and I have no other bad habits. In terms of daily life, I can do all kinds of housework, and my cooking skills are slightly better...
I have admired Comrade Zhu Qinghao for a long time and wish to have the opportunity to pursue you. Therefore, I am writing to report this and hope Comrade Zhu Qinghao will approve!
Zhu Qinghao was taken aback by his sudden seriousness and was momentarily at a loss for words, but finally burst out laughing.
"Brother Sheng Yi, why are you so serious? I..."
Zhu Qinghao's face was filled with undisguised joy, but it was also mixed with something else.
Sheng Yi saw it all clearly, his expression momentarily forlorn, before he quickly regained his composure.
"Okay, is there something you're worried about? It's okay, you can tell me anything."
Fearing that Zhu Qinghao might not understand, he even explained it in detail.
"Since I've chosen to say these words today, I'm prepared to bear all the consequences, whether good or bad, they are what I deserve."
Don't feel burdened. Perhaps to you, I'm just someone you've only known for a short time, even if the whole world tells you how close and familiar we used to be...
Also, I know you've been having a really tough time all alone lately, and I want an opportunity to be with you in a legitimate way.
