C69 (1/2)
He was afraid that he would act impulsively. He was afraid that his impulsiveness would frighten or disgust Yang Xiaodong. He didn't want to affect Yang Xiaodong. He just liked her and didn't want to give her any trouble or regret.
”Let me be your girlfriend.”
What Yang Xiaotong said caught Jiang Liu'er off guard. He didn't think Yang Xiaotong would want to be his girlfriend, let alone tell him in such a situation.
Jiang Liu'er straightened her body and faced Yang Xiaodong. Looking at the serious Yang Xiaodong, the words that were about to reach her mouth made her feel speechless.
”You don't want to?” Seeing that Jiang Liu'er did not react, Yang Xiaotong was a little unsure. As she guessed what Jiang Liu'er was thinking, she started to cry nervously.
She hurriedly used her hand to wipe the tears off her face, but she was suddenly grabbed by Jiang Liu'er.
Facing the tearful Yang Xiaodong, Jiang Liu'er felt that she was a bastard. Even if she was a girl he liked, he didn't have the courage to say his truest thoughts. What else could he do?
Yang Xiaotong was the person he liked, and he could not let the girl he liked just leave in front of him like that. What he could do was not to bless her, but to give happiness to the person he liked. He believed that he had the ability to give happiness to the person he liked.
”Yang Xiaotong, you shouldn't have said that.”
Yang Xiaodong's eyes were wide open as she stared at Jiang Liu'er. She didn't quite understand what he meant by that. Could it be that Jiang Liu'er didn't like her?
”What do you mean by that? You don't like …” Did I? ”
Perhaps it was a mistake for her to call Jiang Liu'er today, or maybe she should not agree to Jiang Liu'er's request and send him back. She should have left from the beginning, and should have chosen not to face this kind of special feeling.
This was because she couldn't control River Stream. All she could do was wait. The only thing she could do was maintain her current state and not disturb anyone.
”Right, right …”
”Yang Xiaodong, be my girlfriend. Let me take care of you, protect you, and give you a chance to be happy, okay?”
Jiang Liu'er might not have thought that she would have such a literary side to her, but these words were the truest thoughts in his heart.
He wanted to protect Yang Xiaodong, he wanted to be someone close to Yang Xiaodong. Whether it was the passionate love between youth and youth when they were young or the waiting for them when they were old and touching their right hands, he wanted them all. Become the real person beside Yang Xiaotong.
Jiang Liu'er's words stunned Yang Xiaodong. Every word he said warmed Yang Xiaodong's heart. She bit her lips, unable to conceal the sweetness in her heart, as if she was eating candy.
”Right.” She shyly nodded. As soon as she said that, Jiang Liu'er immediately put her arm around Yang Xiaodong's shoulders and gently kissed her. Every kiss was on Yang Xiaodong's heart, filled with the taste of happiness, allowing her to roam in the river of happiness, enjoying it to her heart's content.
The sky outside the window turned dark. Jiang Liu'er put her arm around Yang Xiaodong's shoulders and leaned against the sofa. She was so dazed that she actually fell asleep.
Seeing Yang Xiaotong sleeping in his arms, he quickly turned the phone to mute. Quietly letting her lie down on the sofa, he went to his room and closed the door before pressing the answer button.
”Where have you been every day? I called you and Xuanyuan Mingxue for the entire day but no one answered. What, I can't even find out if you did something like stealing chickens and dogs?”
The phone call had only just connected when Jiang Rong started chattering. To be honest, Jiang Liu'er's mood had yet to recover. When she heard Jiang Rong's words, she also felt slightly disgusted in her heart.
”What's the matter?”
Hearing Jiang Liu'er's answer, Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have felt his low pressure, and thus, her tone was no longer as chatty as before, ”I heard that there's something wrong with your voice. There's nothing wrong, right?”
Jiang Liu'er didn't really want to say anything, so she shook her head. Only then did she remember that Jiang Rong couldn't see her, so she quickly answered, ”Let's talk about this later. What's up with the phone call?”
”Seeing that you are hesitating, something must be wrong. You should be at home. Wait for me at home, don't go …”
Without waiting for Jiang Liu'er to reply, Jiang Rong hung up the phone. Jiang Rong'er sat on the bed, feeling a little troubled. She sighed and shook her head, the voice behind her shocked him.
”Are you alright? Just now, I … After examining Xuanyuan Mingxue, you can rest assured that she's alright. ”
When Yang Xiaodong was helping Xuanyuan Mingxue change clothes and clean her body, she felt that something was wrong. It was also out of curiosity that she looked at Xuanyuan Mingxue's private location. Fortunately, Yang Xiaodong did not see anything that she should not have seen.
She knew that Jiang Liu'er was worried as well, and she knew that Jiang Liu'er would never ask about such things. She hoped that her troubles this time would be able to calm Jiang Liu'er down.
Jiang Liu'er looked at Yang Xiaodong. She was a little surprised that she suddenly said, ”You …”
