Upon hearing Ji Wuchen's words, Ye Ying froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg!
Ye Ying's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief!
She never dreamed that Teacher Ji would say such shocking things!
That's a joke that's gone way too far!
It's not funny at all.
At this moment, Ye Ying's gaze was fixed on that face with a hint of mockery, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart—this Teacher Ji was really unpredictable!
Coming to her senses, Ye Ying quickly chuckled awkwardly, trying to ease the awkward and silent atmosphere: "Teacher Ji, what's wrong with you? In broad daylight, are you drunk and talking nonsense...?"
However, Ji Wuchen merely glanced at Ye Ying and lowered his head, saying softly, "Perhaps."
"Huh?" Ye Ying was startled, a look of surprise on her face. She never expected Teacher Ji to respond in this way.
"Maybe..." These three short words struck Ye Ying's heart like a heavy hammer, leaving her at a loss for words.
There are too many possibilities behind this statement...
Perhaps Teacher Ji really did drink too much in broad daylight, which made him incoherent and caused him to speak recklessly; or perhaps he didn't drink at all and his words came from the bottom of his heart!
Faced with this situation, what could Ye Ying do besides give a wry smile?
"Teacher Ji, you..." Ye Ying was dumbfounded, her mouth wide open, as if something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, because Ji Wuchen was acting very strangely today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Ji Wuchen slowly raised his head, his gaze like two burning torches, intense and unwavering, staring straight at Ye Ying.
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unprecedented seriousness: "I'm speaking from the heart, Ye Ying, don't you understand my feelings?"
Ye Ying's face instantly flushed crimson, like a ripe apple, so shy it made one want to take a bite. She hadn't expected Ji Wuchen to say such a thing to her so suddenly, and was at a loss for words.
Like a startled bird, she turned away in a panic, staggering as she fled into the distance, stammering, "Teacher Ji, you must be joking! I have very important things to do, I must take my leave!"
Watching Ye Ying's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Ji Wuchen felt a surge of complex emotions, like a turbulent wave, as if a bottle of mixed feelings had been overturned, with all sorts of flavors intertwined, leaving him with a myriad of emotions.
A wave of intense sorrow and deep sense of loss washed over him, but he did not rush to catch up.
He knew that his actions just now were too rash and impulsive, and might have frightened Ye Ying.
However, he did not regret it, because he was keenly aware that his feelings for Ye Ying were growing stronger and stronger.
First, he must let Ye Ying know his true feelings. This is just the beginning. Ji Wuchen never expected to confess his feelings successfully in one go.
The next crucial step is to gradually get Ye Ying used to his presence.
