Before Wen Li could figure out what was going on, Huo Yinghuai suddenly stood up from the sofa, but his movements seemed a little awkward.
Wenli:? ? ?
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
As Wen Li spoke, she subconsciously reached out to calculate.
Unexpectedly, a pair of hands reached out and Huo Yinghuai's hands completely grasped hers.
Wen Li looked up at Huo Yinghuai.
From her perspective, she could see Huo Yinghuai's smooth facial features and thick brow bones, with some shadows beside his nose. He was standing with his back to the light, making him appear somewhat indistinct.
"No need to calculate." Huo Yinghuai's voice was low, with a rare hint of nervousness in his tone: "I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Huo Yinghuai lowered his gaze and raised the corners of his mouth: "I originally planned to tell you this half a year ago, but I never had the chance."
Wen Li thought about it carefully and realized that Huo Yinghuai had indeed said he had something to tell her half a year ago. If Huo Yinghuai hadn't mentioned it today, she would have completely forgotten about it.
"I didn't expect half a year to have passed in the blink of an eye." Huo Yinghuai took a deep breath: "So I think that no matter what, there are some things I still need to make clear to you."
Wen Li: "Huo Yinghuai, you..."
Huo Yinghuai, what's wrong with you today?
"I like you, Wenli."
Wen Li stopped abruptly after uttering a few words, and for a moment, the two pairs of big eyes looked at each other.
Wen Li's red lips parted slightly, looking somewhat incredulous.
"What did you say?" Wen Li's lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Does Huo Yinghuai like her?
What do I like about her?
"I started to like you soon after I met you, but..." Huo Yinghuai said, unable to help but smile bitterly, "But you were too young at that time, and I felt like I was committing a crime."
When Wen Li first came to City A, she was not yet eighteen years old. Now, almost three years later, Wen Li is already twenty.
Huo Yinghuai is twenty-six years old this year.
Suddenly remembering his age, and seeing that Wen Li was hesitant to agree, Huo Yinghuai quickly asked, "Do you think I'm too old?"
Wen Li paused, unsure if it was just her imagination, but she sensed a rare lack of confidence in Huo Yinghuai's tone.
Wen Li said quite seriously, "You're still very young, really."
However, Huo Yinghuai's eyes showed even more confusion.
His only insecurity was his age.
Whenever I chat with Pei Yu, the thing he finds hardest to say is his age.
There's a significant age gap of three years, and he's two years older than Wen Li.
At first, she didn't believe it, but after trying to like the things that young people like now and finding that she couldn't get interested at all, Huo Yinghuai suddenly realized that the gap between him and Wen Li was not just a chasm, but an insurmountable chasm!
Can……
Huo Yinghuai looked at Wen Li again and asked sincerely, "If you are satisfied, could you try dating me?"
Wen Li didn't say anything.
She suddenly lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Wen Li herself was starting to panic.
This is the first time a man has confessed his feelings to her, especially one she's been good friends with for so long.
Wen Li wasn't embarrassed, just a little shocked.
Moreover, ever since he became a celebrity, ordinary male classmates who like him don't dare to confess to him at all.
Faced with this situation, Wen Li didn't know how to start the conversation.
Before today, she had never considered dating or getting married, always feeling that these things were too far removed from her life.
She was all alone when she was very young. After she turned six, she had a master, and later she gradually had fellow disciples. However, her fellow disciples would always leave after a few months or two or three years, and it was inconvenient to pass on messages, so they rarely kept in touch.
She thought this would be her life forever, but then she found her family again.
More and more people have become a part of her life, including Huo Yinghuai.
But this doesn't mean she will accept Huo Yinghuai's confession.
"Huo Yinghuai, I cannot agree to that right now."
Wen Li's words instantly turned Huo Yinghuai's face deathly pale. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Wen Li knew that Huo Yinghuai was receptive, but she still said, "Your confession was too sudden. I wasn't prepared. If I accept your confession, we will get married in the future, and we will most likely have children. This is a very important thing and decision in my life, so I need time to think about it."
Huo Yinghuai had given up hope, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
"Are you planning to think things through before accepting my confession?" Huo Yinghuai immediately replied, "I need to think it over slowly. You can agree to my confession once you've thought it through."
Wenli:......
"I might agree if I've thought it through, or I might not." Wen Li didn't make any definitive statements, after all, she hadn't thought it through yet.
Huo Yinghuai looked at Wen Li's serious expression, like a hunter staring intently at its prey, determined to succeed.
"How long do you need to think about it?" Huo Yinghuai replied magnanimously, "I can wait."
A sense of guilt rose in Wen Li's heart. She had originally wanted to tell her to think about it for two or three days, but seeing how serious Huo Yinghuai was, Wen Li immediately said, "Tomorrow."
Huo Yinghuai pressed further, "What time tomorrow, morning or evening? Are you going back to the film set tonight?"
Morning and evening, but not noon.
What could Wen Li say upon hearing this? "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning. Let me think about it carefully today."
Huo Yinghuai's imposing manner instantly relaxed, and he nodded, saying, "Then think it over carefully. Once you've thought it through, get some rest. See you tomorrow."
Wenli:......
Huo Yinghuai walked to the door and suddenly said, "I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow."
Wenli:......
Huo Yinghuai slammed the door shut.
After a pleasant wash, Huo Yinghuai took out his phone and lay down on the bed. The whole room was dark, except for the small screen of his phone in front of him.
Huo Yinghuai opened Pei Yu's WeChat and sent a message:
Huo Yinghuai: "I confessed to her tonight, and she said she would think about it, but Wen Li has already decided to marry me and have children."
Pei Yu quickly sent a thumbs-up from an elderly person.
Huo Yinghuai added, "The 'Thirty-Six Strategies of Love' you recommended to me really worked. Is the author still updating it? Who is the author? I'll give him a reward after Wen Li agrees to my request."
Pei Yu: "I found it by chance on Tomato Novel website. It's too short and not many people read it. I also found it by chance. The author's name is Xie Zhan."
Upon seeing this, Huo Yinghuai downloaded Tomato Novels and quickly found the author account of Xie Zhan.
Xie Zhan updated ten minutes ago.
The title of the latest chapter: Love Requires Shamelessness
Huo Ying clicked in with a learning attitude, and although the other person's writing was very literary, it unexpectedly resonated with him.
After Huo Yinghuai, he silently tapped the yellowish-brown button urging for more updates.
He then gave it a five-star review and left his first comment:
Love is indomitable.
