Chapter 316 I Like You
There was a dripping sound outside.
Raindrops fell on the leaves, on the lights and on the ground. From the beginning, no one paid attention to it, but gradually it turned into a heavy downpour, accompanied by rumbling thunder, which made people feel a little confused.
Such thunderstorms should only occur in summer. I have never encountered such weather in the middle of winter.
At this moment, the two people in the room were in no mood to care about what was happening outside the window.
Shen Jiazhou took another half step forward, and the distance between them became closer.
He said, "Shu Qiao."
Wen Shuqiao then slowly turned around and looked at him.
Shen Jiazhou's eyes were fixed on her face. Although he still looked indifferent, his heart was actually gripped by an invisible hand when he blurted out those words.
To handle with care or to discard at will, only one answer is needed.
Wen Shuqiao also looked at him. He was usually very decisive in the company, but now he was like a very shy teenager, but still looked at her sincerely.
She opened her mouth, the words went around in circles, she didn't know what she was thinking, her expression was evasive: "Hmm? Know what? Are you——"
"Yes, I like you." Shen Jiazhou didn't give Wen Shuqiao a chance to dodge. He spoke quickly, and after meeting Wen Shuqiao's eyes, he repeated slowly and seriously, "I like you."
It turns out that this sentence is so easy to say.
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a loud thunder.
“Boom—”
The lights are out.
The living room became dim, with only a faint light coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou could see each other clearly.
Shen Jiazhou's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He didn't get a response from Wen Shuqiao for a long time. His heart and emotions gradually calmed down.
Too impulsive, really too impulsive.
The scene was completely different from what he had imagined, but he did notice Wen Shuqiao's thoughts, which were very clear and anxious.
She didn't respond to me, probably because she was... scared.
Shen Jiazhou's throat tightened, but he still managed to say, "It's normal... not to like me."
He is not a popular person. It is normal for people to dislike Wen Shuqiao, who is such a good person.
Although he said this, Shen Jiazhou became visibly listless, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of fog and became gray.
"I didn't say I don't like you." Wen Shuqiao replied softly.
After hearing these words, Shen Jiazhou's head, which had been hanging down, suddenly raised up. The gloomy look disappeared, and there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows.
Wen Shuqiao wanted to say something when she saw Shen Jiazhou take another half step forward, shortening the distance between them. The next second, she was hugged tightly by Shen Jiazhou.
She felt Shen Jiazhou lower his head, bury his face in her shoulder for a few times, and then tighten his arms around her waist.
"I knew it." Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but raise his tone. If you listen carefully, you can hear his chuckle. Like a puppy, all his thoughts are revealed.
Wen Shuqiao raised his hands and hugged him. Although it was a bit disappointing, he still said, "I didn't say I don't like you, but..."
"I don't want to hear it but." Shen Jiazhou's words were all sticky at this moment: "You just like me."
She had already hugged him back! Bad woman! Still want to tease him! No way!
It was indeed difficult for Wen Shuqiao to convince herself to say that she didn't like Shen Jiazhou, but she still felt a little confused, and she didn't want to be with Shen Jiazhou in such an unclear way.
She patted Shen Jiazhou on the back: "Don't interrupt me."
Shen Jiazhou rubbed her shoulder again, and the ends of his hair brushed across Wen Shuqiao's neck and ears, which felt a little itchy.
He said, "Then you tell me."
The whole person was still acting like a big dog, not letting go at all.
"I do like you." Wen Shuqiao said, "But I'm not sure if there are any other factors behind this liking."
Shen Jiazhou didn't quite understand. If he liked someone, he just liked him. What other factors could there be?
Wen Shuqiao patted his back again, signaling him to loosen up a little.
But Shen Jiazhou didn't want to let go, he said stickyly: "I'm listening."
Wen Shuqiao sighed helplessly and expressed his concerns: "We have been together for a long time, almost inseparable. Sometimes, after a long time, some emotional boundaries will become blurred. I am afraid it is an illusion, and with the addition of Cancan..."
Shen Jiazhou understood what Wen Shuqiao meant, and he immediately replied: "It's not an illusion. It's not an illusion that I like you."
He was a little anxious, and stood up to look at Wen Shuqiao's face: "Look at me, it's not an illusion that I like you."
The light was dim, but because they were close, they could see each other's expressions clearly.
Wen Shuqiao looked at his anxious expression, and her brows relaxed a little. She raised her hand to touch Shen Jiazhou's face. Shen Jiazhou climbed up her wrist and rubbed her palm with his face, feeling very aggrieved: "It's really not an illusion."
Wen Shuqiao said slowly and gently: "I have to be responsible for you. If the definition is blurred, it will hurt both you and me."
She paused for a long time before saying, "There are so many good things in the world, how come I have encountered them all?"
So after she realized that Shen Jiazhou might like her, she still felt a sense of unreality, and subconsciously wanted to escape in a roundabout way, calm down, and then think about what to do.
But she didn't expect that Shen Jiazhou didn't give her any chance at all and laid the matter out in the open.
She admitted that after Shen Jiazhou said that just now, her heart was beating very fast, thump thump as if it was about to jump out.
But the more this happened, the more nervous she became. She didn't know why it was like this, but there was always a string in her head that was tense.
After a while, Shen Jiazhou hummed in a muffled voice: "So... you want to participate in that travel photo shoot."
No wonder he subconsciously felt something was wrong after seeing it just now. It turned out that he didn’t want to face him!
There was a beeping sound from somewhere, and the lights in the living room came on again, and the power was on. At the same time, Shen Jiazhou's cell phone rang.
Wen Shuqiao subconsciously raised his head to look at the lamp, then tried to pull his hand back, but Shen Jiazhou still held it tightly.
Wen Shuqiao gave up trying to pull back her hand and looked up at him.
As she looked at him, she felt her face begin to turn red under her palms. Shen Jiazhou's eyes were even more direct than before, staring at her straight in the face.
Wen Shuqiao hummed: "I think if I go out for a walk, I can always sort things out."
By keeping some distance, you can see your own heart more clearly.
She continued, "I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know... huh? Huh?"
Shen Jiazhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. Before she could finish her words, she bumped into Shen Jiazhou's arms again.
A gentle breath enveloped her all over. She wanted to raise her head to look at Shen Jiazhou, but Shen Jiazhou lowered his head again, with his hot cheek pressed against her ear.
She heard Shen Jiazhou whisper, "I've never been in love either."
Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips embarrassedly, and then he hugged Wen Shuqiao tightly again: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Wen Shuqiao felt that her ears were about to be "burned" by the temperature of his cheeks: "Let go, we are not together yet."
But her relaxed expression and raised lips had already exposed her true thoughts.
Shen Jiazhou hummed twice, but didn't let go at all. He muttered, "Hold me for a while longer. Just consider it as an advance payment for the future."
Wen Shuqiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you so sure?"
Shen Jiazhou said nothing, but just hugged Wen Shuqiao tighter.
Anyway, Wen Shuqiao is back, so he must like him, he is 100% sure!
