Chapter 028 – Love Is Hard To Express! (1/2)
028 – Love is hard to express!
Apart from Li s.h.i.+nian, this was the first time Li Muyang had received a gift from the opposite s.e.x.
Li Muyang also did not have any friends of the same gender.
The embroidered pouch gave off a delicate fragrance. It was unknown whether this was from the spices that was stuffed inside or because it was tainted with Cui Xiaoxin's scent.
Li Muyang held it in front of his nose and sniffed at it avariciously, as if he was in possession of a priceless treasure.
“Li Muyang, do you know you look like someone with anthomania?” Li s.h.i.+nian pressed her lips together and said with a look of disdain.
“Being crazy for flowers is not something to be ashamed about.” Li Muyang grinned: ” in the past, some people called me an idiot, being an anthomaniac as opposed to being an idiot, isn't this much better? ”
“My brother, my dear brother, do you have any pride at all?” Li s.h.i.+nian angrily rolled about on the bed and said: “Is it not just an embroidered pouch? Do you have to be that excited? Take a look at my room, look at all the gifts I've received hidden in my closet –If I were like you, then I should've pa.s.sed out already? ”
Li s.h.i.+nian was pretty and smart, and also especially loyal; she's the big sister of her year. It made no difference whether it was male or female; she still got along with them. No matter where she went, there were always people screaming in front and people gathering behind. When it's her birthday, it was like a grand festival. The presents that she received on that day had to be carried back with a car.
So, at those times, Li Muyang was like a dutiful porter, like a hardworking ant carrying the gifts, little by little, to Li s.h.i.+nian's room.
Li s.h.i.+nian's room is much larger than Li Muyang's; their parents' explanation was that girls need a larger room to store their clothes. But Li Muyang already knew the truth, Li s.h.i.+nian has too many gifts, so she needed a larger room to store them.
“This is because I have so little opportunity to receive a gift, so I'm extremely happy.” Li Muyang cheerfully smiled, Li s.h.i.+nian's attack did not affect his good mood: “s.h.i.+nian, you have more experience. Tell me, in what situations will you give a guy a present? ”
Li s.h.i.+nian got up from the bed, pulled Li Muyang by his collar over to the bed, looked at him with a sweet smile and said: “Li Muyang, what did you just say? I did not hear it clearly.”
“I said you have more experience, in what kind of situation—” Li Muyang could not continue his sentence. He realised he had made a serious mistake.
“Say it. Why don't you go on?”
“Hahaha, you know I didn't mean it that.”
“Hohoho, but I heard very clearly the meaning of the words you said—”
“Dear sister, I sincerely just wanted to consult you —”
The smile on Li s.h.i.+nian's face disappeared, she ferociously stared at Li Muyang and said: “I'm your little sister, shouldn't you have more experience in this kind of thing? Why do you want to ask me?”
“I—” Li Muyang was almost in tears, then he urgently explained: “I just think that since you're smart, there's nothing you can't solve.”
“That's correct.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded.
“Ah? ”
“Ah what? Ask.” Li s.h.i.+nian released Li Muyang's collar, used her little hand to smooth out the crease in his collar. Li Muyang had become more skilled at using his 'indirectly saving the country ' move, now he is able to use it without any flaws
“I said, under what circ.u.mstances would you give a boy a present?”
“At holiday times, on his birthday, when he achieves some success, when he's sad that he's being bullied, when I travel and misses him, when I think he's adorably ugly, and when I see something that's adorably ugly that I want to buy it for him.” Li s.h.i.+nian smiled as she looked at Li Muyang and said: “In all those situations, I will give him a present. ”
“Then does that mean you like him?” Li Muyang anxiously asked.
Li s.h.i.+nian's reply did not mention most crucial points. Today was not a holiday or his birthday and he is not sad nor had he been bullied. So, there were only two reasons for Cui Xiaoxin's gift: one, to celebrate the fact that his scores had risen rapidly? Second, she thinks he's adorably ugly?
Both of these answers made his heart feel empty and desolate.
“I like him.” Li s.h.i.+nian gave an incomparable firm answer.
“Really?” Li Muyang's emotions became excited once again, and said: “Because you like him that's why you just give him a present, right?”
“Correct.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded. As her ear-length hair swung left and right, it was indeed very cute.
“I knew it.” Li Muyang happily held Li s.h.i.+nian's hand and said:” I knew it. Xiaoxin also have some feelings towards me, otherwise why would she gave me an embroidered pouch? I've heard that you don't just casually give out this kind of thing.”
“Yes, Yes.” Li s.h.i.+nian said agreeingly: “If girls don't like them, then they won't give boys present.
Li Muyang suddenly remembered something, he stared at Li s.h.i.+nian and asked: “s.h.i.+nian, who's the guy you like? It's not—your first love, right?”
“First love? “Li s.h.i.+nian smiled sweetly and said: “Maybe.”
