Chapter 33 - Reality (4) (2/2)

Cheng Zhi Chu sprawled across his desk and couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.

In front of Gu Zhen, he was just a child in every aspect. She treated people kindly, but her actions were different and could be considered to be rather forceful and even a little stubborn. If she wanted something, she would definitely get it. This was something that he felt while he played games with her.

It was also because of this that, despite knowing that she only was treating him kindly, he admired her. But he also understood that Gu Zhen is just too good and someone out of his league. He was already happy with Gu Zhen being his friend.

[Cheng Cheng]

After a brief moment of silence, Gu Zhen exited the game and sent him a text to his phone.

[Today is actually my birthday.]

[Ah? It’s your birthday? I didn’t know! Happy birthday!!]

Cheng Zhi Chu saw this message and panicked a little. He quickly sent out his response.

But he couldn’t be blamed for not knowing Gu Zhen’s birthday. Gu Zhen’s personal information was completely blank, and his photo albums were too. Even if he knew it now, he didn’t know where she lived and which school she goes to. She had never mentioned it to him and whenever he asked, she would always change the topic, so he didn’t try to probe further.

[Sorry. Although it’s late, I still want you to give me a present. I hope you won’t be angry?]

Cheng Zhi Chu scratched his head. He didn’t know what to give her. Lipstick? Perfume? But his sister is still young, so she doesn’t know much about this. Who should he ask? Should he ask Gu Zhen directly? But it would make it seem insincere…….

[Of course not.]

Gu Zhen continued: [I’m sorry, I’m too selfish………..I’m telling you that today is my birthday because I actually wanted you to give me a present.]

[It’s not a problem! What do you want?]

Cheng Zhi Chu asked this and at the same time he tried to guess what she wanted. With her personality, she definitely wouldn’t mention anything that was outside of his abilities and it also wouldn’t be excessive so when she asked, he didn’t hesitate to agree. Anyway, Gu Zhen comes from a well-off family. He could tell that this was the case when she bought a full account. She definitely wouldn’t ask for anything expensive.

[I want you.]

Gu Zhen said.

[Cheng Cheng, I want you.]

“……………”

Cheng Zhi Chu held onto his phone with widened eyes. He instantly froze up.

What does this mean?

…………Did it mean what he think it means?

[I like you. Can you agree to go out with me?]

…………..My god.

Cheng Zhi Chu was in daze for a long time. He read that message over and over again in disbelief before realising that he didn’t see it wrong. Gu Zhen said she likes him and even wanted to go out with him…………

“Bang!”

He suddenly fell off from his bed, but he didn’t climb back up and just laid there with a bright red face. His fingers trembled as he typed, and he couldn’t press the right keys. In the end he could only send over a voice message.

“Gu-Gu Zhen………..You didn’t send it to the wrong person? You really, really want to go out with me??”

[How could I get it wrong? Apart from you, who else would I be calling “Cheng Cheng”?]

[My Cheng Cheng is only you.]

[I have had a crush on you ever since we first met because you just happened to be my type.]

[You’re simple and cute, and you get shy easily, but you still do you best in front of me. Every time I chat with you, I am very happy.]

[Actually, I don’t like playing games at all. I find it boring and a waste of time. I only played this game so that I could get your contact details and share a common interest with you.]

“Why would you say that? This game is really fun……….”

When Cheng Zhi Chu saw that message, for a moment he focused his attention on the wrong point. He then continued to read with a blushing red face.

[But I only thought that it was a waste of time in the past. Now, the thing that I look forward to the most is playing games with you.]

[Because during this time you would only be with me and only be my Cheng Cheng.]

[But I am very greedy. I wanted more.]

[Cheng Cheng, can you give me a chance and let me have more of you from now on?]

This……Who can withstand this…..

Gu Zhen’s confession attack was too lethal. When Cheng Zhi Chu saw it, he felt like his heart was about to explode.

No. This isn’t right. Its’s all reversed. It’s like Gu Zhen is a man and he is a girl that is being flirted with…………She really knows how to flirt!! How can Gu Zhen be so good at saying these things?!

Cheng Zhi Chu never thought that Gu Zhen would have such a side to her. His brain stopped functioning for a long time before finally working again and his hands trembled.

During this time, Gu Zhen didn’t send over anymore messages. She was seemingly waiting for his reply. Cheng Zhi Chu got up from the ground and took a few deep breaths before barely managing to calm himself down. He then started typing with a trembling hand.

[…………Sorry, I still can’t believe it. It feels like a dream……….]

[You really want to go out with me? This isn’t a joke? You really……..like me?]

Gu Zhen replied: [I have never been more serious about anyone.]

After a while, she added.

[You are my first love Cheng Cheng.]

[So can you say yes?]

“Only a fool would say no……but…..”

Cheng Zhi Chu almost couldn’t catch his breath. After a long time, he muttered to himself like he was still in a dream.

But to be honest, he felt very uneasy. He felt that Gu Zhen was someone who was a way out of his league and, compared to him, he is ordinary and weak. How can he deserve her……..

As he thought this, he felt a little awkward. In fact, strictly speaking he couldn’t be considered to be in love with Gu Zhen, it was more admiration. Because he thought that Gu Zhen would never like him, he had strictly warned himself not to think about those useless things and make her hate him.

But now Gu Zhen says that she likes him………

In an instant, Cheng Zhu Chu was conflicted. At this moment, Gu Zhen sent over another message that completely defeated Cheng Zhi Chu.

[If you don’t want to it’s okay.]

[It’s because I’m not good enough to deserve someone like you.]

“It’s me that’s worried that I’m not worthy of you……..!!”

Cheng Zhi Chu saw this message and anxiously sent over a voice message.

“How can that be.”

He didn’t expect Gu Zhen to also send over a voice message. Her voice in the message was low and gentle with a hint of a smile.

“In my eyes, you are the best.”

Shit…….

Cheng Zhi Chu cursed inside. He was red even down to his neck. He finally gave up struggling and said: “I agree. I agree…………”

“Thank you, Cheng Cheng.”

Gu Zhen’s voice carried a hint of a smile and her voice was warm and gentle. There was also a hint of determination and resolution within.

“I will cherish you well.”

“I won’t let you regret this decision.”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 33)

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to kill the others off in the instance.

When Zhi Chu was taken away by “him”, I should have killed them first but, at that time, I only had Zhi Chu in my mind and I had completely forgotten about them. When I found Zhi Chu, the instance was already over, and I had lost my last chance.

What a pity……If I see that man again, I definitely would let him die horribly. Particularly that face. It’s too unsightly and must be destroyed. How dare it appear on Zhi Chu’s shirt.

………

I wonder if Zhi Chu is thinking about me. I think he probably misses me.

(He doesn’t)
