I like you
"What's wrong?" Shen Yujing noticed that Jiang Zhiyi was not in good condition and asked.
"Nothing, just think of it as a nightmare."
Jiang Zhiyi didn't care too much. When she got up, it was already dark. She rubbed her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well yet. She looked around and found that there were still cicadas hanging on the trees, chirping non-stop.
Shen Yujing looked up, as if he was enjoying this scene, but he said venomously: "If you don't get up, I'm going to go back alone and leave you here."
"You wouldn't do that, would you?" Jiang Zhiyi didn't deny it in a hurry after hearing it, but instead threw the question back.
"Won't."
Shen Yujing was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had eaten the truth fruit.
He didn't say anything else, but just kept quiet and listened to the sounds around him.
When Jiang Zhiyi smiled, she knew that he was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Jiang Zhiyi lay down again. Today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon was bright enough to illuminate their small world.
But Jiang Zhiyi somehow avoided the topic and recounted everything that had happened here: "The stars are so bright today."
"Um."
“But the cicadas are so loud.”
"Um."
"Why can you only um?"
Shen Yujing was silent. After a few seconds, he said, "Then why do you want to change the subject?"
Jiang Zhiyi didn't expect that he could guess what he was thinking, so he stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
"Because I feel that no matter how hard I try, I can't ignore the moon's light, so I divert my attention and try to ignore it."
"But it makes me want to watch him even more."
After saying this, she didn't know whether Shen Yujing knew or not, but she had already walked out. Before leaving, she lowered her eyes and asked him, "So, do you think the moonlight will be on me?"
Chen Yujing was stunned for a moment. He seemed to know why Jiang Zhiyi said that, but he didn't know if he was being too sentimental, so he could only pretend to be an ignorant coward.
Looking at her back, Shen Yujing sat up, took a few deep breaths, and then thought about the previous things and fell into deep thought.
Repeat the same mistakes, or avoid what you know.
He doesn't know either.
So he opened his mouth, allowing himself to speak the truth, his lips parted slightly, and a voice with a slight tremor reached his ears.
"I like Jiang Zhiyi."
"I want to be with Jiang Zhiyi."
"Even if I make the same mistake again, I still like her."
Jiang Zhiyi returned home with her face covered and her ears red. Bai Qi looked at her and asked in confusion: "Jiang Zhiyi, what's wrong with you?"
"You're not having a fever again, are you?"
Jiang Zhiyi shook his head: "It's not a fever, it's me who embarrassed myself."
Bai Qi nodded, unconcerned: "Oh, that's normal. It's not like you haven't embarrassed yourself before."
Jiang Zhiyi was speechless and threw the doll in his hand to Bai Qien: "How can you talk like that?"
Bai Qi caught the thing she threw with his bare hands: "What's wrong? Why don't you tell me?"
Jiang Zhiyi gave up and sat over: "What if someone has been coveting another person's beauty for a long time and shamelessly almost confessed to him? What would you do?"
"Leave this world."
"?"
"Wait." Bai Qi seemed to have just realized what was happening and turned to ask her, "You mean, just now, you confessed your feelings to Shen Yujing?"
"Yes, but I don't know if he heard it."
Jiang Zhiyi originally wanted to say that it was a friend of hers, but this guy is really...
She closed her eyes, slapped her mouth, and then broke the jar and said: "That's not the point. The point is that he didn't respond to what I said just now, and then I ran out."
Bai Qin: "..."
Shang Lin, who was hiding behind Bai Yuan, poked his head out silently: "Wow."
Jiang Zhiyi: “…”
Shang Lin had been behind Bai Qie just now, and the two were secretly eating spicy strips. When Jiang Zhiyi came back, they thought Shang Fei had come back. Shang Lin was so scared that he quickly hid behind Bai Qie, and ended up eating a big melon.
"No…I didn't mean to hear that."
Jiang Zhiyi was too embarrassed to see anyone, so he covered his face and refused to look at the two people.
"Don't be afraid, I really won't tell anyone." Shang Lin spread out one of his wings and saluted Jiang Zhiyi: "At most, I will talk to my good friends who I know well, and I didn't eat the truth fruit."
Jiang Zhiyi: “…”
Just at this moment, Shang Fei walked in and before he realized what had happened, he flew over and whispered to him.
"I have a friend who confessed her feelings to the person she liked, and then..."
Shang Fei interrupted her, her eyes unconsciously turning to Jiang Zhiyi: "Jiang Zhiyi and Shen Yujing confessed their love and were rejected?"
Jiang Zhiyi: “…”
There's no need to be so blunt.
Now that Shang Lin knows about it, the whole community will know about it the next day without any unexpected circumstances.
Jiang Zhiyi now really wants to consider moving to another place.
Chen Yujing didn't come back all night, and Jiang Zhiyi didn't know where he went. Bai Qi went out in the middle of the night, and looked at him strangely when he came back. Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help it and hit Bai Qi's neck with his hand.
"Tell me, where did you two go last night?"
Bai Qi's legs went weak: "Let's go out and discuss what fruit to eat next."
"?"
Bai Qi thought he had found a perfect explanation: "Yes, yes, if I didn't understand it the first time, I have to go the second time to see if there is a soul-swapping fruit."
Jiang Zhiyi looked at Bai Yuan doubtfully: "Really?"
Bai Qi nodded quickly: "Really, really, really."
Jiang Zhiyi withdrew her hand and let the effect of the truth fruit wear off quickly. She really couldn't bear it anymore.
It’s been almost a week since we started eating, why hasn’t Zhou Zhao appeared yet?
In Jiang Zhiyi's eyes, Chen Yujing escaped and only appeared in front of her on the last day when the truth fruit became ineffective.
"What have you been doing these days?"
"Thinking." Shen Yujing replied to her.
"Thinking about what?"
"Think about the moon you mentioned."
Jiang Zhiyi didn't say anything. After drinking the water in her hand, she retreated into her shell like a turtle. Only when Zhou Zhao knocked on the door did she stick her head out.
"Let's go pick the next lucky fruit."
"Oh." Jiang Zhiyi walked out slowly, and then saw Shen Yujing, who seemed to have been waiting for her at the door for a long time: "Let's go."
On the way, Jiang Zhiyi thought for a long time about how to better talk about this matter. The two of them couldn't remain in this stalemate forever.
"Have you thought about it?" Jiang Zhiyi asked suddenly.
Shen Yujing turned to look at her: "Yeah."
"So what do you think?"
"It was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon was bright, which was normal."
Jiang Zhiyi understood what he meant. He wanted to say that Jiang Zhiyi had a suspension bridge effect on him. She liked whoever was with her longer.
"But the moon is brighter than just that day."
She liked him for more than just that day.
Shen Yujing fell silent. It was rush hour and the traffic was jammed and difficult to get around.
The sound of traffic was disturbing Shen Yujing's eardrums. The throbbing in his heart wanted him to say those words, and his irritable heart made him stare at her, stubbornly demanding an answer.
"Do you like me?" Jiang Zhiyi took the initiative. She knew that Shen Yujing would definitely answer this question. She knew that if she liked someone, she had to say it out loud. She didn't want to be shy.
"I like it." Shen Yujing answered her without hesitation. Now hearing Shen Yujing's response, Jiang Zhiyi didn't know what to do next.
Shen Yujing said again: "I like you."
"You asked me last time when the moon's light suddenly began to shine on you."
"My answer is now. Now the moon has begun to shine on you alone."
Jiang Zhiyi's heart was pounding because of what he said. She wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. She knew that these were his true words.
"so……"
"I wonder if I have any evil intentions towards the moon."
Shen Yujing smiled: "Jiang Zhiyi, why are you like this?"
"What?"
"I've already confessed to you, are you going to give me an answer?"
Jiang Zhiyi refused to admit it: "I was the one who asked you, how come you were the one who took the initiative?"
"You have to fight with me for this."
Chen Yujing lowered his eyes and thought about what he had said to Bai Qi a few days ago.
The bar was brightly lit and he was drinking alone until he was drunk.
"What on earth are you doing?"
Bai Qun, who received the call, hurried over and saw Shen Yujing getting drunk here alone.
"If you like Jiang Zhiyi, just go and tell her. What's the point of drinking here alone?"
"You don't understand." Shen Yujing shook his hands, the alcohol making him a little dizzy: "Jiang Zhiyi is a person who does whatever she wants, and she didn't ask me for the exact answer. I'm afraid I'm being too sentimental. Also, she didn't cherish it after getting it."
"If you ask me, you're all just overthinking it." Bai Qi sat next to him and had a drink with him.
"Why don't you ask her?"
"You two haven't even started dating yet, how do you know she won't cherish the relationship?"
Shen Yujing didn't say anything. After a long silence, he responded, "Oh."
"Just one?" Bai Qie was almost driven crazy by these two people. Although he didn't know how this relationship between the two came about, as a friend he still kindly gave some advice.
"You two need an opportunity to clarify your relationship. It just so happens that you two have eaten the truth-telling fruit. Ask her on your last day."
Shen Yujing's eyes regained some clarity: "Ask directly?"
"Of course we still need to lay the groundwork."
Bai Qi was really fed up with these two people. In front of Jiang Zhiyi, he had to pretend that he knew nothing, and in front of Shen Yujing, he had to do his best to give him advice. This snake had to bear too much.
He said that he was lucky that he didn't really eat the truth fruit, otherwise if he kept running between the two of them, he would be wiped out by them sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Shen Yujing's eyebrows curved: "Well, so do you want to be with me?"
Jiang Zhiyi was pleased when she heard the answer she wanted. She knew that no one would not be willing to work hard for the little hamster.
"Well, I'll think about it."
Shen Yujing nodded: "Okay, I'll let you think about it."
She took a deep breath and thought for a long time before returning to the main business: "Did Zhou Zhao tell you what kind of fruit we're eating this time?"
"The pink square one should be the one you picked from the orchard on the left last time."
