Chapter 80 – The Fallen Great Zhou (2/2)

That’s right, according to what she said earlier, Lin Xiao came to a conclusion, Shen DaiYing was preparing to confess to him!

Being liked by someone he likes, Lin Xiao suddenly felt like the happiest person in the world.

It felt like time suddenly stopped.

“Lin Xiao, you…”

Lin Xiao was thinking about something very complicated…

If the princess confessed to him, how should he respond? What should he do afterwards.

Should he accept right away, then embrace her while laughing? No, that might be too romantic, this isn’t a novel.

Then, should he pretend to refuse, then seize the opportunity to kiss her? No, this isn’t a TV drama.

Wait… why did he have to wait for her to confess?

Lin Xiao felt like he was an idiot.

As a man, how could he let her take the lead?

No, he had to take the initiative!

He has to loudly declare his feelings before her!

What kind of man is he, if can’t even confess to the girl he likes?

So, as Shen DaiYing was speaking, Lin Xiao also yelled something.

Time continued to flow again.

“Lin Xiao, why can you use multi-casting?”

“Princess, I also like you!”

Her prudent questioning and his sincere confession echoed throughout the field.

“…”

“…”

“Eh?” “Eh?”

Quickly, they both exclaimed.

Even Elena, who was silently watching on the side was shocked.

What was this idiot Lin Xiao saying? Why did he say “I also like you?”

Did he misunderstand something?

“… that… haha… what did you just say? I seem to have misheard… that…” even the easygoing Shen DaiYing was flabbergasted.

She never expected to get confessed to, and from Lin Xiao!

As for Lin Xiao, he was even more of an embarrassment.

“No, no, no, you didn’t mishear… not really, you misheard… no, no, you didn’t, I…” Lin Xiao finally realized that he was overthinking it, Shen DaiYing didn’t plan to confess, it was all his misunderstanding!

But he already said it, what should he do? Should he take it back? Or should he play dumb?

No, he’s a man! How could he easily take back something he said? Moreover, it was a confession!

Was his feeling something that cheap?

“Princess, I might have misunderstood something, but I meant what I said earlier! I really…” Now that it’s come to this, Lin Xiao had no way out, he could only continue forward, and look forward to the miracle ahead!

Sadly, there was no miracle, just a deep abyss.

“Princess, I…”

“Sorry, Lin Xiao, I have no way of responding to your feelings.” Shen DaiYing looked away and couldn’t face Lin Xiao.

“Eh? Why? Is it because I’m not…”

“No, not because of that” Shen DaiYing sighed.

“Please don’t be hurt, it’s not you, I just can’t do that.”

“But, why?” Lin Xiao didn’t understand.

Did the princess have something she couldn’t say?

“Lin Xiao, you still don’t know yet, right?” Shen DaiYing used a trembling voice and gently spoke of the cruel reality, “Actually, I’m already engaged.”

“Eh?”

Snap, that was the sound of a heart breaking.

“Engaged? What does that mean? Why are you…”

“I’m Caesar’s fiancée, we’re getting married next year.”

Speaking of that, Shen DaiYing actually felt relieved, she forced herself to put on a lovely smile and calmly declared something that was plain as day.

“So, let’s just be friends.”

If you had to describe Lin Xiao’s current mood, you could say that the sky was falling and the ground was sinking.

One hundred years ago, the Great Zhou empire was also destroyed due to a huge earthquake.

One hundred years after on the same day, Lin Xiao also encountered the biggest earthquake of his life.

However, for him, he didn’t know when he could rebuild his “Great Qin Empire”
