Chapter 195 Expressing Feelings
Xia Yueke returned to her position. These past few days, the lingering Luo Cihe was almost annoying her to death.
I'm really speechless, like I'm sick.
After finishing a day's classes, Xia Yueke returned home.
Qian Jingyao is becoming more and more virtuous now, and takes good care of Xia Yuke every day.
But he was acting strangely today. When Qian Jingyao walked next to Xia Yueke, he actually smelled a strong smell of crow, which was beyond the normal range.
Qian Jingyao frowned, his heart full of confusion and worry.
He observed Xia Yueke carefully without making any expression, but found that she looked normal and didn't feel anything unusual.
"Yueke, did anything special happen at school today?" Qian Jingyao asked tentatively.
Xia Yueke thought about it and shook her head, "It's still the same as before. That Luo Cihe is always pestering me. It's so annoying."
Qian Jingyao's eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be that this smell of crow is related to Luo Cihe?
"Keke, do you need me to warn him?" Qian Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone full of concern and a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.
In fact, deep down, he was more inclined to give Luo Cihe a good beating first to vent his anger.
However, he was not sure what Xia Yueke felt towards Luo Cihe.
If Xia Yueke has a good impression of him, then he will have to think about it; if Xia Yueke has no interest in Luo Cihe, then he will definitely teach that person a lesson without hesitation to relieve his frustration.
Xia Yueke tilted her head slightly and thought seriously for a moment. After all, they were still in the academy, and if the relationship between them became too rigid, it might cause a lot of trouble later.
So, she shook her head gently and said, "No need. Qi'an said that we young beasts will be able to graduate from the academy soon. For now, we don't need to pay attention to him."
When Qian Jingyao heard this, he was unwilling but could only nod helplessly, suppressing the impulse for the time being, thinking that this was the only way to do it for now.
The next day, Xia Yueke went to school as usual.
Unexpectedly, I was stopped by Qi'an when I passed by his office.
"Xia Yueke, wait a moment!"
Qi'an's voice came over, and it seemed a little different from usual.
Xia Yuke turned around when she heard the voice and saw Qi'an standing there.
He usually has a stern face, as if covered by ice and snow, but today he looks like he is gently blown by the spring breeze, with slightly groomed hair and neat clothes. Although he still can't hide his cold temperament, he reveals unusual tension and expectation in the details. This contrast makes Xia Yueke slightly stunned.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yueke asked with bright eyes blinking.
Qi An pursed his lips slightly and remained silent for a moment, as if trying to suppress the waves in his heart. After a long time, he spoke:
"I have something to tell you."
His voice was still cold, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Xia Yueke was filled with a heat he had never seen before.
Xia Yueke teased with some curiosity: "Qian, what's wrong with you today? You seem like a different person."
Qi'an turned his head away, avoiding her gaze, but the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
He became unusually nervous. After being deliberately provoked by Luo Cihe yesterday, he began to reflect on himself.
Luo Cihe was right. If he didn't even dare to let Xia Yuke know his feelings, then what was the point?
He couldn't continue to be such a coward.
He finally met Xia Yueke, the only female with whom he could speak his mind. She didn't have to pretend, and could laugh or cry when she wanted to. Only Xia Yueke could understand his words, and only Xia Yueke could comprehend the equations he spoke of.
Qi An took a deep breath, as if mustering up great courage, and slowly took a step closer, but his slightly trembling fingertips and clenched fists revealed his inner nervousness.
His eyes locked onto Xia Yueke fiercely and firmly, his voice soft but full of affection:
"Yuek, I like you. This feeling has been hidden in my heart for a long time. I know that this has crossed the boundary between teacher and student, but I don't want to suppress my true feelings anymore. I want you to know my feelings."
Xia Yue seemed to be struck by this confession. She was slightly stunned and then jumped back in fright.
"Oh my god, are you possessed?"
Qi'an blinked his eyes, seemingly not understanding what Xia Yueke meant.
After waiting for a while, Xia Yueke still hadn't waited for Qi'an to say that he was joking, so she took Qi'an's words seriously.
She thought for a long time before she raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion and sincerity:
"Qian, you have always been someone I respect, and I cherish our friendship. But this feeling is too unexpected, and I need time to think carefully."
A trace of loss flashed across Qi'an's eyes, and the loneliness almost overflowed from his deep eyes, but he quickly concealed it, nodded slightly, and tried to force a faint smile:
"Okay, I'll give you time. I just hope that no matter what the outcome, our friendship will remain the same."
Xia Yueke responded softly and walked away with mixed emotions in her heart.
Qi'an stood there quietly, his eyes closely following her back, as if he wanted to imprint that figure deeply in his heart. After a long time, he turned around and walked into the office dejectedly.
When Xia Yueke arrived at the big stone house, he immediately collapsed on the seat, clutching his hair with both hands, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
How could this be possible? She couldn't believe it. Was she dreaming? Why would Qi'an say such inexplicable things to her?
Since falling into the dark valley and after spending some time together, Xia Yueke felt that her relationship with Qi'an had changed from the initial mutual resistance to an indescribable relationship with some little secrets.
To say they were friends didn't seem quite accurate; but to say they were teacher and student made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Although they are extremely reluctant to admit it in their hearts, according to modern definitions, they are teachers and students.
Xia Yueke covered her face with her hands, looking unwilling to accept this twisted and complicated relationship.
Now she didn't know what to do. After all, she had never thought about this problem before, and she didn't have any rebellious thoughts.
I don’t know what’s going on with this Qi’an!
Xia Yueke looked out the window with a troubled look on her face, completely ignoring Die Xu who was teaching.
"Alright, little ones, today's herb identification class ends here. I heard you all performed pretty well last time we went to the Misty Forest. You basically recognized all the herbs I taught you. You're really smart!"
After Die Xu finished speaking, she left with a kind look on her face.
Xia Yueke still maintained the same posture, looking out the window. She seemed to... not like Qi'an, right?
Because Qi'an didn't get along with her at the beginning, Xia Yue hated him very much at that time.
