Chapter 1279 - Wen Xinya, How Silly Are You? (2/2)

Si Yiyan should have already known long ago, right? He was clearly going against Xu Zhenyu during the gathering, and the rest were making it so obvious too. I’d be a fool if I couldn’t tell.

Actually, she already had some sort of a hunch after receiving the gift from Xu Zhenyu during her coming-of-age ceremony. However, she hoped to maintain the trust between them and kept things purely platonic. Hence, she did not think much of it.

Si Yiyan grabbed the glass in her hand and chuckled while asking, “What are you trying to say?”

Si Yiyan already knew that there was something on her mind.

Wen Xinya rubbed her forehead and suddenly wailed. “I wanted to say… that my head hurts…”

It was indeed a major headache. After thinking about Xu Zhenyu’s behavioral changes after he visited her during the military training program, she could not help but reprimand herself for being so foolish as to think that Xu Zhenyu was simply upset about the fact that she did not tell him about her relationship.

Wen Xinya, how silly are you!?!

Reminded of how angst Xu Zhenyu was, she thought, He must have been feeling miserable then!

Not only did she fail to understand his misery, she even roamed in front of him every now and then. It was no wonder that he was so eager about leaving Capital city right after the military training program ended. It was not for an emergency mission at all. Instead, he was just trying to avoid her.

Wen Xinya had a sullen expression on her face. She did not wish for there to be a strain on her friendship with Xu Zhenyu just because he had feelings for her. She did not want them to grow distant from each other too.

Si Yiyan’s eyes lit up and pulled her into his embrace. Rubbing her forehead meticulously, he said, “You’ve probably just drunk too much. I’ll rub your forehead for you.”

There were untouchable boundaries and secrets deep within everyone’s hearts. Since Wen Xinya was not willing to share them with him, he wouldn’t probe further.

Wen Xinya’s behavior during the gathering already proved her devotion towards him. In that case, there was no need for him to be jealous and cause a strain on their relationship. Even if he felt jealous, he ought to keep it to himself and suppress his feelings of uneasiness.

Finally feeling relieved, Wen Xinya called his name softly, “Si Yiyan?”

“Yes?”

Wen Xinya muttered, “I love you!”

Si Yiyan paused in his actions before proceeding to massage her again. “I know!”

Wen Xinya closed her eyes and laid in his arms with a smile hanging from her lips.

Men were more sensitive than women when it came to rivals in love. Since men were born with the primate sense of sovereignty, they would naturally detest those who harbored designs on their prey. Being extremely intelligent, Si Yiyan obviously understood that.

However, she chose not to tell Si Yiyan about Xu Zhenyu’s feelings towards her, not because she was afraid that he would get jealous, but rather, she wanted to save some pride for Xu Zhenyu and avoid bruising his ego.

At the same time, Xu Zhenyu did not express his feelings towards her explicitly either. That meant that he was planning to keep them buried deep within his heart. Even if she knew how he felt, she still had to respect him. After all, she and Si Yiyan were in love with each other and it would be an insult to Xu Zhenyu if she were to expose him.

Besides, she did not want to reveal this to anyone else because she knew that once it was exposed, she would grow even further apart from Xu Zhenyu. She was willing to keep this secret deep within her heart. She wanted to give Xu Zhenyu enough time, trust and faith. She would accompany him… while he slowly got over her.

She believed that the prideful Xu Zhenyu would be able to do it.
