Chapter 204 – Why Do I Like You? Because… (1/2)

Shen DaiYing instantly came to a realization after seeing the bowknot.

At that time, because Lin Xiao accidentally injured her legs during the intramural competition. He tied a bowknot on her leg after helping her apply the medicine, and that night she accidentally dropped it at the scene of the crime…

That was evidence that only Lin Xiao knew about.

So that’s how Lin Xiao saw through her identity and already knew that she wasn’t a charming princess, but a coldblooded killer!

Shen DaiYing couldn’t help but want to roar with laughter when she recalled how Lin Xiao got along with her. She had thought that she was the only one wearing a mask of pretense, who would have known, that he was also a similar man!

Lin Xiao knew about her true self but he didn’t expose her and even flirted with her like nothing was wrong, playing a boring love game between male and female…

What was that?

Was he pitying her? Or… toying with her?

“Why!?” Shen DaiYing couldn’t refrain from raising her voice.

“Ah?” Lin Xiao was startled.

“I’m asking why are you doing this!” Shen DaiYing clenched her teeth, as her tone raised unconsciously, “Do you also want to join us? To join Shen Yue Ge… if that’s the case, then you probably already killed Caesar, right?”

“Nope, he ran away with Devoru.”

“Since you didn’t kill him, then why did you save me!?” Shen DaiYing clutched Lin Xiao’s collar, and sharply questioned him, “I have to kill him, otherwise, I must die there… one of us is destined to die! Since you didn’t want him to die, why did you save me!!!”

Lin Xiao was baffled by Shen DaiYing’s emotions and strange logic and didn’t know how to respond.

“Answer me! Why did you save me! Haah?” The normally gentle and charming Shen DaiYing was now hysterical, she used all her strength to demand an answer she long knew.

What else could it be?

He’s already told her twice, it’s already left a deep impression in her heart, how could she pretend she doesn’t remember?

Okay, perhaps she just simply wanted to confirm it one more time.

Then, Lin Xiao was willing to give her that answer.

The third time…

“Why? … Sister Ying, of course it’s because I like you.” Lin Xiao blinked and chuckled in response.

At that moment, everything stopped.

The midday sun shone straight down, Lin Xiao’s plain face was illuminated by the blinding light. Lying in his embrace, Shen DaiYing couldn’t clearly see his expression.

Perhaps it was because the sun was too blinding, the backlight made everything appear blurred, or perhaps it was because of the tears that made the world misty.

To like someone, what kind of feeling was that?

Shen DaiYing didn’t know, after all, she’s never liked anyone before. Even if she knew about the matters between man and woman, she had no idea what it meant to like someone.

In the past, there were numerous men that said they liked her and wanted to marry her, to love her for the rest of their lives. But she knew that wasn’t love, they simply wanted her for her body.

Shen DaiYing fully knew how alluring she was for males, so she also learned how to distinguish those two-faced flies.

And now, Lin Xiao said those words to her again.

Confessing like those other men…

Like?

What kind of joke is that, she’s a killer, both her hands were dyed in blood. She wasn’t Lin Xiao’s ideal perfect princess… why did he like her?

If it wasn’t because of her body… then is there another reason?

No, she doesn’t believe it!

She couldn’t believe it!

“You like me huh, heh heh…” Shen DaiYing quietly repeated his words, with a slight dejected expression.

“Uh, actually, ” Line Xiao thought his words troubled her, so he quickly added some more, “Sister Ying, I don’t need you to give me a response right now, you can just treat me as a friend like usual… although I saved you, b-but you don’t have to do anything special… of course, I wont oppose if you promise to marry me either… hehe, just kidding.”

“What? … Marry?” Shen DaiYing kept repeating his words.

She didn’t understand.

She absolutely had no idea about what Lin Xiao wanted!

“Lin Xiao, you know that I’m not the perfect lover from your fantasies, do you still like me?”

“Of course.” Lin Xiao responded without even thinking about it.

“You know that I’m trained in powerful assassination techniques, do you still like me?”

“I do!”

“You know I’ve killed a lot of people before, do you still like me?”

“I do!”

“You know I’m a killer, a tool for a certain organization… do you still like me?”

“I do! Or rather, I like you even more!”

“Why?”

“Because that’s exactly what I want!” It was unknown whether he was serious or joking, Lin Xiao responded with a smile, “How great would a killer be, Sister Ying, if you can marry me, then we can…”
