Sleeping in your arms
Did she really like this man?
“Ke Song, do you know if you have fallen in love with me?”
His voice was always steady, so when the sentence was finished, Lin Ke Song expression was still stuck
“Although I have said many times that I don’t care about the success or failure of you in the competition, I don’t want you to become anotherQian Fan’, ould he do?”
Lin Ke Song’s heart trembled
She tried to push Jiang Qian Fan off and leave his ar her harder
“When I’m not around you, you will feel unco at you and acco by your side”
Lin Ke Song’s eyebrorinkled up, in the end, what had Jiang Qian Fan found? Even the things she deliberately neglected, he saw it clearly
“If I said to you very seriously that I need you very much and that I want you to be with me, ask yourself if you would resolutely stay by my side Is it because of sympathy, respect, or because you simply cannot do without me? What do you wish me to say from the bottom of your heart?”
His voice was cal in fluctuation, yet there was a kind of enlightenment and warmth
Those which she had deliberately flattened, and had strived to evade, were uncovered by hi’s throat choked
She subconsciously clenched her fist and grasped Jiang Qian fan’s clothes
“In fact, when I attended tonight’s banquet, I had heard that Song Yi Ran intended to ht you there to hear it personally, not because I wanted you to be let down because of him”
Yes, Jiang Qian Fan had his own pride, even though he said he would not easily allow other ive her happiness
“I just want you to know that even if one day you lose Song Yi Ran, and are unable to place your own longing on him, you are not as heartbroken as what you think deep inside But if the person you were to lose was me? Would you be unable to keep in your tears in front of all those other people? Would you still have the energy to leave that place?”
Lin Ke Song’s eyes ide as she stared hard at the other
Her heart swelled, there was too much she wanted to say, yet it was stuck in her throat
It was as she had lost the ability to speak, liuid
But her realisation at this moment far exceeded that time ten years prior
Jiang Qian Fan slowly released her from his embrace and she suddenly felt empty at the loss It was as if all the cold had coers threaded through her hair, gently co it
“Ke Song, I used to say that your tos is delicious, and pro as you made delicious food, I would answer your one condition Are you sure that you have nothing you want me to do for you, or have no questions you want to ask?”
“I have I always have” Lin Ke Song squeezed out her voice forcefully fro too cowardly, she would e which had been evoked
She had once had to restrain herself at the banquet because she wanted to keep Song Yi Ran calm
Yet at this moment, her forceful silence was because she was full of expectations
She was like aQian Fan was the most beautiful and warm flame in the world
“Then say it now”
The rain outside the phone booth was likeQian Fan’s face
His eyes were even more profound
“Do you loveQian Fan, I mean, do you understand the difference between like and love?”
She waited for his answer
It was like being in a vacant church, waiting for the moment the bell was hit
“Of course I understand the difference between like and love The question is, Ke Song, do you understand the difference between looking forward to seeing a person and falling in love with soht, and seeed by the rain She had to listen very carefully in order to distinguish it
“If theyou, then I don’t kno else I can show that I love you I care about your footsteps and your voice When you co your taste What you ate, where you went, what kind of scent has been left on your body The reason you lie, the song you hu Yi Ran as you squat under the tree, and your breath as I purposely approach you I’ve never tried to understand someone so carefully If you can, please also feel for me seriously…”
Lin Ke Song suddenly understood that on that first day at Montgo Qian fan cae blossom, but because he always remembered her taste
Jiang Qian Fan cared about her thousands ination
There was a force driving her, as if her entire body’s bones were being re-opened and she was growing once again
She raised her face and kissed Jiang Qian fan on the lips
It was a feeling of surprise like falling fro been prepared for a collision with the ground
She knew that that it was not because she had been moved by the other, but because she had accuain and it had becoth
Jiang Qian Fan leaned back against the glass
This time she seriously felt him, and he suddenly rose in temperature
His shoulders tightened, and in his amazement, he kissed her back in the same intensity
It turned out that Jiang Qian Fan was not a big ice-block
Just a little spark could start a prairie fire
He held onto the back of her head in fear that she would leave hith so his other hand steadied her back
They didn’t kno much time had passed, when a black car parked outside the phone booth
Miller ca an umbrella
Lin Ke Song that her brain did not see Qian fan opened the glass door of the phone booth, she shi+vered
He took off his half-wet suit jacket and draped it over her, then holding Miller’s umbrella, sent them into the car
The car started up, and the ere hazy fro Qian Fan’s arhtly
He wanted to hold her tighter, but he had a fear that she would dislike hiers rubbed over her ears again and again and then said to Miller, “the teain”
He brought her back to the villa
The rain didn’t knohen to stop
The h the crevices of the clouds
As she walked out the door and say Mayer and Nina waiting outside, she had a feeling as if it had been a lifetio
“The hot water is ready, sir”
Jiang Qian fan grasped her hand and took her to his own roo the bathroom door
This was the first tiht, clean and tidy just like Jiang Qian Fan
“Take a good shower then sleep”
It was only now that Lin Ke Song was reminded that she had the competition tomorrow
And here was Jiang Qian fan’s bathroo had a sort of distressed feeling
“I…I should just use my own bathroom!”
“What nonsense are you thinking?” Jiang Qian Fan’s lips rose, a hint of a smile that he only let her see
“I didn’t think anything…”
“If you really want it, I can give it to you” Jiang Qian Fan bowed his head slightly
His pair of eyes reflected the light and they were very char could only subconsciously take a half step back
“You don’t have to give it now” Lin Ke Song replied, this guy obviously had to twist her
Was this really Jiang Qian Fan?
“Then I’ll wait for you outside”
Jiang Qian Fan left the bathroo
She took off her daot into the bath As the ater wrapped around her, she suddenly though of herself in Jiang Qian Fan’s arms at the telephone booth
She remembered clearly every word he had said to her
Mixed with the taste of rain and the cold air, his voice seemed to vaporise all the mist
Everything was like a drea it would break it
When a knock ca’s heart suddenly responded to the beat
“Why is there no sound?” Jiang Qian Fan’s voice cah the door
Had he always been paying attention to her?
“Didn’t you like to hum? Hum then”
Lin Ke Song was embarrassed
“It’s not that I don’t want to, I’ too much noise…”
“If you don’t say anything, I won’t knohere you are”
It was obviously a very simple sentence, yet it made her eyes heat up
She hulish lyrics so she just hummed a random tune
