Chapter 412 Confession
"Do you like me?" Tan Xiyuan asked, meeting Xiao Shanjie's gaze.
In fact, Tan Xiyuan knew that she was asking a pointless question. If Xiao Shanjie didn't have feelings for her, he wouldn't have helped her like this.
She wasn't a child anymore, and she could see what Xiao Shanjie had done for her. However, she wanted to know what Xiao Shanjie was really thinking.
Xiao Shanjie looked at her intently and answered decisively, "I like it!"
"We've only known each other for a short time, are you sure you like me?" It wasn't that Tan Xiyuan lacked confidence in herself, but rather that she had passed the age of fantasizing and no longer believed that a prince charming would come to take her away to live a happy and wonderful life.
She has money and a house, and can live a good life on her own.
However, she also needs a strong shoulder to lean on; a man who can truly love her and give her a sense of security.
It's not that such men don't exist in this world; it's just that meeting one requires luck.
Tan Xiyuan felt that she wasn't very lucky; she didn't think she could meet a man like that.
However, that doesn't stop her from looking for such a man.
"I like you, and it has nothing to do with how long we've known each other."
Xiao Shanjie looked at Tan Xiyuan and said earnestly, "I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."
Tan Xiyuan is not bad-looking, so it's not impossible for her to make a man fall in love with her at first sight. However, she wanted to know what it was about her that attracted Xiao Shanjie. She asked, "What do I have that attracts you? I'm not a young and pretty girl."
Xiao Shanjie pursed his lips and replied, "I like your cheerfulness, I like your humor, and we can have a lot of conversations... In short, I just like you. I can't really explain it myself, and it has nothing to do with appearance."
He was very nervous; it had been a long time since he had confessed his feelings to a girl.
The first time I confessed my feelings to a girl was in college.
He liked a female student at school, but he never dared to confess his feelings to her until graduation was approaching. He finally mustered up the courage to confess to her, but unexpectedly, the girl called him a sissy.
He still remembers what the girl said to him that night: "If I were you, I would get sex reassignment surgery. With your appearance, there's no way any woman would like you unless she's a lesbian. But I'm sorry, my sexual orientation is normal, so we can't be together."
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Shanjie's heart sank.
This was a huge blow to him.
He lay in bed for a week, and if it weren't for Huo Jiansheng's encouragement, he almost committed suicide.
Despite his handsome appearance, he is actually very insecure.
Because of his appearance, he was often misunderstood by men. He received many love letters, but they were all written to him by boys.
He was even almost raped by his male roommate.
This left a deep scar on him, and from then on, he dared not live in the dormitory anymore, and rented a house outside by himself.
And since then, he has started working out; at least, he needs to have the ability to protect himself, right?
His only friend was Huo Jiansheng.
They are friends who have been playing together since childhood.
After starting work, he was never liked by any woman.
He had to muster up all his courage to confess to Tan Xiyuan this time.
He felt that Tan Xiyuan was different from other women and wouldn't be so superficial as to only look at his appearance.
