AST 1864 - I only want to hug you (1/2)
Sheng Jun didn’t respond to what Qing Shui said. Thus, Qing Shui also remained silent. As the two stood together, Sheng Jun looked into the distance while Qing Shui followed her along and did the same thing. Only from time to time, he would move his sight back onto her. Just like that, the place was taken over by a moment of silence.
“Thank you for helping me.” After quite a while, Sheng Jun turned around and said softly.
“We are friends. You don’t treat your friends so formally.
It was not the first time Sheng Jun thanked Qing Shui. It was out of her expectations that a matter which even she had difficulties solving, would take such a dramatic turn. It made her felt like she was in a dream.
“Even if we are friends, it’s still necessary for me to thank you. Other than repeating it over and over again, I also don’t know how I can repay you for it.” Sheng Jun chuckled.
“That doesn’t sound sincere at all.” Qing Shui smiled and said. Though he didn’t make it clear, she should be able to understand what he meant. Any more obvious, he would risk being slapped again.
He didn’t want to act like a gangster, nor did he intend to say anything straightforward. He just felt that it was nice to tease her from time to time. To begin with, men and women were supposed to be attracted to each other. Under the condition that they found the opposite genders pleasant to their eyes.
‘It was easy to get a wife, but not someone who could understand you’. Even if they weren’t fated to be a couple, it would still be nice if they could end up as close friends with each other.
Certainly, Sheng Jun also understood what Qing Shui’s intentions. But she could never figure out what this man was thinking. He seemed to be very friendly and easy to get along with. At the same time, he was also reliable, but yet unpredictable.
It was not that everyone else, especially in the case of capable people, could be predicted easily. However, the fact that Qing Shui was unpredictable and yet people felt safe around him, had become quite a contradiction.
Usually, one would feel insecure being around a person whom they failed to understand. It was because they didn’t know exactly what kind of personality this person held. As the saying went “Birds of a feather flock together”. If you couldn’t see through a person, how could you expect yourself to get along with him?
“Brat, I am leaving soon.” Qing Shui said after a moment a silent.
This should be the second time Qing Shui called her that. Even he has become unsure of it. This nickname was quite an unusual one as it could be used on both a daughter and a person whom he liked. It was the way an elder would usually address the youngsters.
With that, the rest of the possible meanings were easily rejected off the chart. This was the way to address a person whom you’re close to. Thus, it would cause people to think the true meaning behind it.
Sheng Jun trembled. Suddenly, she noticed that this man was clear and tranquil. Though the time they have been together was quite short, she has started to get used to having him around. In the past, she has also interacted with a few men before, but none of them could give her this kind of feeling.
Just like that, she silently looked at Qing Shui. Her mind seemed to have drifted off to another place.
Although she knew that Qing Shui would go, this was too sudden for her. She didn’t know how to react for a moment. But eventually, she smiled, “Are you in a rush?”
“I can choose to stay if you miss me.” Qing Shui teased her again.
“I do miss you, why don’t you stay?” Sheng Jun said straightforwardly.
Qing Shui was stunned. He revealed an awkward smile. He knew that Sheng Jun didn’t mean it that way, but he had to leave now.
“Under what name shall I stay as?” Qing Shui still had his own method to deal with her.
“Aren’t we friends? It’s perfectly normal for friends to stay.”
“That’s different. Has there been any friends who stay together forever?” Qing Shui was examining this woman. He cast his eyes down mischievously to look at her slender body.
