Chapter 728 - Mo Xicheng, I Like You (5) (1/2)

As soon as she asked this question, Shi Nianyao’s heart started racing and jumping out of control

It thumped erratically.

She did not dare to raise her eyes and look at Mo Xicheng, so she stared at the ground with a lowered head. Her attention, however, was fully and entirely focused on Mo Xicheng.

He, on the other hand, was stunned by her question and didn’t know what to say.

This was the first time in her life she made this sort of confession.

The anxiety and unease she felt right now was torturous and she thought she would go crazy.

Was that a yes or a no?!

She bit her lip, wishing that time would go faster so that she could hear an answer.

Yet she also wished that time would stop still right there and then, so that she wouldn’t hear an answer that was different from what she wanted.

After what seemed like forever, Mo Xicheng still had not answered, making Shi Nianyao wish that she had never asked.

She coughed once and looked up. She was about to say something when she saw Mo Xicheng frowning in confusion. He tried to clarify it, “What do you mean?”

What did she mean?

Shi Nianyao almost died.

Wasn’t it simple and straightforward enough?

She said directly, “What I meant was that I like you. Can I be your girlfriend?”

The moment she said this, her face turned bright scarlet.

She bit her lip and gathered all her courage to raise her eyes and look straight at Mo Xicheng.

As though she wouldn’t give up if she didn’t get an answer.

However, following this, Mo Xicheng was quiet for a long time.

He remained expressionless, and his eyes were gloomy and deep, as always, like doorways to a million things.

For some reason, when she saw his expression, she suddenly felt as though she knew what he was going to say.
