Chapter 70: Upset, Unsettled (1/2)

TL: flarewk

It's fine, as I've thought up of numerous meaningless stuff while being unable to sleep last night, hence, I've also came up of a solution in advance to face against this sort of current situation.

As long as I give off proper responses, making things turn towards the direction which I wanted wouldn't be of any problem at all.

I calmed my emotions down and gave off a smile, replying composedly.

”Ahh, I do like her, if not, why would I be going out with her?”

Gave out a perfect response which I had already long prepared for.

But in reality, what was it truly like?

I myself also didn't quite understand, but.........it should be feelings of like, I guess.

Although I knew that she's extremely dangerous, I had already been used to be staying by her side.

I wouldn't find it annoying when bickering with her, and towards those gestures made by her both seemingly purposeful yet unintentional at the same time, I would also have my heart having fluttery sensations upon it.

Especially for Moe Bing..........when facing her, I would always have some sort of inferiority complex. And I would even fall into self suspicion as well, is it really a good thing to have this sort of girl as my girlfriend? It can't be that I'm dreaming, right? Can I have feelings of like for her? Such similar thoughts kept repeatedly popping out from within my mind.

This.........perhaps this would be a 'like' then.

”Really? Which part about that person does gege like, then?”

”Which part that I liked, huh.........probably her gentle personality..........”

Was it really like that.........that the part which I liked about her was her gentle personality? I somehow felt it to be not quite right.........

I'll have a palm across my heart while asking myself once again then, about which part of her exactly that I liked.

I didn't want to lie towards Ke Ling, as well as to myself. I closed up my eyes, and started to recollect those memories of being together with Lian Bing.

The most deeply rooted impression was still expectedly that scene, me being hunted around by her like a prey at the science departmental building.

At that time, I only felt fear, but thinking back to it right now, the smile at the start which glistened under the starry light, it gave off a bizarre beautiful sensation which would make one be willing to die out for her.........plus I at that moment was only able to see onto her smiling expression..........

And also, the first date that I had ever since I was born.........whenever I recalled back to the date that day, my face can't help unveiling out a smile.

That, perhaps, is the normal happiness that I was yearning for.

Both personalities of Lian Bing had areas which attracted me, and it wouldn't be a complete Lian Bing if there's a lacking at no matter which side it was.

And so, the conclusion was out already huh.

”No, not only her gentle personality. I just like her, I'm attracted to every single part of her, if it's to be clearly explained, I really can't say it out properly, ehehe.”

”Uuu.........!”

Upon hearing the sincere response I gave after having some considerable thought being placed into it, Ke Ling unveiled out an expression of chagrin.

Good, very good, that's the pace I'm looking for!

Making her clearly understand that her brother had a girlfriend already, with mutual feelings toward each other so excellent to the point of being unable to intervene at all, hence, she would then be helplessly giving up on me.

However, though my thoughts were constructive, I had forgotten already, that it wasn't just Ke Ling alone, as there's still Xin Ran's presence around.........

Just when Ke Ling pouted up her cheeks not knowing on how to carry on the conversation, Xin Ran suddenly butted in.

”Then.........does Ji Lian Bing like gege as well?”

Ke Ling's eyes immediately sparkled, as she ferociously asked.

”Yeah! Isn't she a wealthy dàxiaojie from a plutocratic family? Why would such an aristocratic dàxiaojie be falling in love with gege? Have gege never suspected about that before? Perhaps she has other intentions by wanting to get close to gege..........”

She had really guessed onto the mark on that one.

It was due to my corpse which caused Lian Bing to approach me at the very start..........Mm, perhaps it still currently is, merely not being that anxious about it already.

Mm.........about that incident, I wouldn't say it out even if I'm to be beaten to death, for regarding 'that sort of dangerous matter', I can't mention a single thing about it at all, it's enough for just myself alone to be encumbered into it, and I mustn't ever drag my family members along inside as well..........it's only about that which I'm never ever taking a step back!

”Even if you're to say something like that, there's completely nothing to be gained from scheming against me. Or it should be said, that it's precisely because she's a rich dàxiaojie, which is why she appeared to be very sincere when she chose me, isn't it?”

”Uuu..........”

It sounding perfectly reasonable, and making perfect sense.

My both sisters didn't press on interrogating me anymore.

Phew.........looks like I've safely passed this round already.

”Then, gege really likes Ji Lian Bing, heeh?”

”Ahh, just like what I've said.”

Ke Ling had her head lowered with a gloomy appearance as she asked.

”..........Compared to Ke Ling, gege still liked her even more?”

”Why must this be compared, I like the both of you just the same.”

I didn't think that there would be a day when I'll be asked with this sort of question, it seemed that girls just liked to ask this sort of troubling question of choosing an option between the two.

Can't it be the third option instead?

”No! It must be said clearly! Even if gege really likes both, there definitely will be a person that gege likes even more!”

I'm not sure what sparked up Ke Ling already, for she suddenly smacked the tabletop as she stood up, puffing up her cheeks while displeasedly saying to me.

”A person's most favorite thing can only be one.........only be one!”

S-, she turned dark already!

”Eehh.........”

Crap! Now how am I going to reply to this, it seemed that replying either way would only make things become even more terrible!

”Ke Ling, too overboard.”

Luckily, Xin Ran timely came out at this moment to stop Ke Ling, and after making Ke Ling sit down, she persuaded.

”Don't make gege troubled.”

”Uuu..........”

Phew, excellent job, Xin Ran!

You really are gege's kind and understanding meimei~ I'll just make an exception to hug you to sleep for tonight then~

Although Ke Ling still had a face of being unable to accept it completely, but under Xin Ran's persuasion, she temporarily receded back.

At this moment, the dishes that we've ordered coincidentally arrived as well, hence we started eating our lunch.

Haaa, such heart fatigue..........

I've finally made it through noon, but what about afternoon thereafter.

If I had known, I wouldn't be raising up this sort of suggestion at that moment already..........

After that short quiet lunchtime had ended, it finally went into today's main purpose.

Selecting a birthday present for Lian Bing.

After all, Xue Li-xiaojie had purposefully told me about this matter, so I must be seriously treating it as such.

However, I really can't think up of anything which Lian Bing would want, hence I had hoped that my meimeis would be able to provide me onto some substantial opinions..........the me previously had thought it so.

But who the hell would know that things would develop up to this state right now!

Mentioning to Ke Ling about stuff pertaining to Lian Bing, it indefinitely would be akin to be pushing myself falling into a fiery pit!

But! But! I could only say it out already..........

I didn't expect however, that Xin Ran helped to say it out prior to me proactively mentioning about it.

”So, where to next? I remembered that gege said that he wants to select a birthday present for his girlfriend, right.”

”Well, that's the plan indeed..........”

I nodded my head, secretly observing Ke Ling's reaction afterwards.........the main purpose onto going out today was to select a birthday gift for Lian Bing, and Ke Ling definitely wouldn't be pleased once again.........

As expected, Ke Ling sharply noticed the ambiguity within my words and instantly remarked.

”Heeh, going to select a present for that Ji Lian Bing, huh? That sort of dàxiaojie doesn't seem to be lacking anything at all~”

”Err, mn........that's why, I'm hoping that you two will be able to give me some suggestions.........”

”Is it~ I think that it's better for gege to choose it instead, since it'll be more sincere that way, isn't it? Humph!”
