"First, you are a good person..."
The power of the Good Person Card sotis hurts more than direct rejection.
Zhu Yulan was such a person; she bit down on Xu Musen's shoulder as Xu Musen winced and gently pushed her away.
"No, listen to first."
"What am I supposed to listen to? Listen to your insincere words about how good of a person I am, but we're not suitable, and I will surely find soone better in the future, right?"
At that mont, Zhu Yulan was like a drunken person; her bright eyes were completely red, and she puffed up like a blowfish.
She was getting quite frantic.
Good Person Card?
She was definitely not Zhao Lianmai; she wouldn't be fooled by a Good Person Card so easily!
Xu Musen actually couldn't refute at that mont because the situation was too sudden, and he indeed planned to have a good talk before... giving her a Good Person Card.
But it was intercepted straight away.
Zhu Yulan lay in Xu Musen's arms, grabbed his collar, and bit her lip with a resentful voice, "Even a jerk like you, I can't have, and you talk about eting soone better? I don't care, the words I've managed to say... you have to give a proper answer!"
Xu Musen, seeing her feigning strength despite being obviously filled with grievances, unexpectedly found her quite cute...
"Let speak first then."
Xu Musen slowly moved his shoulder, which still smarted from her bite earlier. This girl really did like to bite.
"Then speak, but if you ntion 'good person' again... I'll bite you!"
Zhu Yulan bared her teeth threatening him, yet her soft body didn't move out of his embrace for a bit.
Xu Musen knew he couldn't pull her away now; he could only let her hold him for the ti being.
He took a deep breath, gazing at the girl in his arms, her eyes red and glossy with tears, her nervous lashes trembling.
"What I wanted to say was, you are a good... a very outstanding person."
Xu Musen had barely said the word "good" when he felt a grinding sound from the opposite side, and he imdiately coughed and changed his words.
"Only, my life is already too crowded, and to say so things would only hurt you more..."
He was interrupted by Zhu Yulan before he could finish.
"Xu Musen... if right now you already married Nuannuan or Ming Yue, then if another of them appeared, would you still say there is no room by your side?"
Her gaze was so intense, it was irresistible; Xu Musen fell silent for a mont and smiled wryly in the end, "It's not the sa..."
"What's not the sa? Stop deceiving with those excuses; you're just a scumbag! Putting up your own saintly billboard!"
Zhu Yulan clenched her little fists and beat him. As she beat him, tears welled up in her eyes again, knowing there was no real 'crowding,' just that she wasn't significant enough.
Indeed, one was Tian Jiang's official girlfriend, and the other was an inseparable childhood sweetheart.
She, an outsider, an unrequited lover, how could she weigh that much?
Zhu Yulan felt things blur in front of her as she kept hitting, yet uncontrollably her tears fell again.
"Since you're already a scumbag, then co be a scumbag to !"
At this mont, Zhu Yulan's appearance was sowhat heart-wrenching.
A young lady from the prominent Huhai University family, having the courage to say such words for a boy, must have required great courage.
Xu Musen's prepared words were choked back by her self-sabotaging tone.
He gently patted Zhu Yulan's back, "It's because you truly are wonderful, that I can't carelessly do sothing to you."
Admittedly, Zhu Yulan was an outstanding girl.
Whether it was looks, personal abilities, or family background, she could be the object of admiration anywhere.
For ordinary people, let alone taking advantage of her, even being friends would be a luxury.
"Is it that you cannot, or you do not want to? Or do you think I don't even have the charm to be taken advantage of by you?" Zhu Yulan leaned into Xu Musen, her disheveled appearance like that of a ghost, her eyes filled with bitterness.
"No, you are very charming."
"Then you are incompetent!"
"???"
Xu Musen was montarily speechless: "The problem isn't that."
"So, you still don't want to, do you?"
Zhu Yulan bit her lip, staring intensely at him, "Xu Musen, just tell … do you have even a little bit of liking for , not as a friend, but liking , Zhu Yulan, as a person… even just a little bit..."
Zhu Yulan's voice was nearly pleading, desperate for even a sliver of humble affirmation.
Xu Musen silently gazed at her; their eting until now had weathered many storms.
The human heart is complex yet pure, and the term 'like' is never about a single aspect; it is more like a complex composite.
So people just need one glance, and the emotion of liking becos uncontrollable.
Others may spend a lifeti together through storms, and if you ask them about their feelings, they might not explain it, maybe it is just habit and companionship.
Whether Xu Musen liked her, Zhu Yulan, even a little bit...
Xu Musen t her gaze, and in the end, gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "This question, for you, actually isn't fair. I should first ask you, why would you like soone like , with no status or background, just a bit of luck, and not exactly pure in private life, why?"
