ng Cheng’an’s voice was very low, with a hint of danger discernible upon careful listening.
Tian Xiang had been interacting with him daily recently, considering him a friend from the bottom of her heart, and she had long since let down her guard, not hearing it at all.
She said, "I’m looking for the matchmaking advertisent I posted before. I distinctly rember sticking it here, but now it’s gone."
ng Cheng’an, feeling guilty, rubbed his nose and said, "Maybe the wind blew it away."
Tian Xiang glanced at him, "Could it be that soone liked and took the information away?"
Now she’s quite the sensation on Red Fifth Street, isn’t it normal for soone to take a fancy to her!
What’s with that tone, as if her information is only worthy of being blown away by the wind.
Yes, soone does like you.
ng Cheng’an’s hands in his pockets clenched tightly into fists, looking at Tian Xiang with deep eyes, like a wolf in the dark night.
After confirming the matchmaking ad wasn’t there, Tian Xiang was ready to leave.
ng Cheng’an followed behind her, asking softly, "Not posting it again?"
Tian Xiang: "Forget it, it didn’t seem very effective."
Not very effective?
ng Cheng’an chuckled, "True, you’re so popular, whether you post that ad or not doesn’t really matter."
These days, everyone has been watching her, today including Zheng Haitao, making it clear that eight people have shown interest in her in just ten days. If this continues, the threshold of the Tian Family will be worn down by matchmakers.
What do you an ’you’re so popular’?
Sounds like he’s jealous.
Tian Xiang turned her head to look at him, "Why, is it bad that I’m popular?"
ng Cheng’an muttered, "No, not at all."
With that disappointed tone, Tian Xiang was sure that he indeed had feelings for her.
Tian Xiang sighed, "So what if I’m popular, none of those people seem suitable for . Relationships depend on fate. If the right ti isn’t here, no amount of effort will help, but if it is, you can’t stop it even if you try."
Fate...
ng Cheng’an’s gaze followed her, "Has your fate arrived yet?"
Tian Xiang rode her bike, facing the early winter wind, "Fate is mutual, I can’t be certain, it depends on what the other person thinks."
It ans she has soone she fancies but hasn’t expressed it, and doesn’t know if the other person reciprocates.
Hearing this, ng Cheng’an stood frozen, his mind exploding into a blank white for a mont.
She has soone she likes!
Who could it be?
Who??
Who!!!
Why doesn’t he know?
In the past month at the factory, no one has been frequently near her!
Could it be she’s secretly crushing on soone?
But he hadn’t noticed any such signs from her.
What is it exactly?
Who is it exactly???
ng Cheng’an stood rooted, hands clenched on the handlebars, feeling like an arrow ready to be released, emotions on the verge.
Tian Xiang had traveled a short distance, seeing he hadn’t caught up, turned back to see ng Cheng’an standing there, the persona label on his forehead turning blurry, giving off a sense of about to change.
Tian Xiang’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned back.
"ng Cheng’an, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you coming?"
Tian Xiang stared intently at his forehead.
This person was a villain to begin with, who knows what he’d beco if he changed, hopefully not worse!
Tian Xiang recalled a mont.
Just now, she hadn’t really said anything, just expressed her views on dating.
All she said was from her heart, just that the person she kind of liked happened to be him.
This person?
Wouldn’t he think she liked soone else and get agitated!
If that’s the case, and if he keeps changing for the worse, won’t it be her fault again?
Tian Xiang, feeling overwheld, quickly grabbed his arm and asked, "What are you doing? If there’s anything, just tell !"
Being sullen is really annoying!
Looking at the white, slender fingers on his arm, ng Cheng’an ca back to his senses and turned his head to ask her, "Can you tell who that person is?"
Tian Xiang bit her lip, sowhat embarrassed, and said, "How can I, a young lady, openly talk about such things? Don’t look at how carefree I am usually, I’m very serious and reserved when it cos to feelings."
After saying that, Tian Xiang rode off, not caring if he followed or not.
ng Cheng’an would follow!
How could he not.
At this mont, he felt as if he was walking on clouds, his mind in a daze, even though his feet were pedaling the bike, he had no sense of reality.
Is it as he thought?
The person Tian Xiang fancies is right in front of her.
Is she really talking about him?
A bit hard to believe, given his bad background, everyone avoids him, his reclusive nature has no friends, he feels inadequate in so many ways, yet he clings to that touch of light, liking her.
How is he even worthy?
When he knew Tian Xiang had soone she liked, ng Cheng’an wished he could imdiately tear that person apart, ending her thoughts of him.
But now, knowing that person is himself, he started doubting himself again.
Truth is, he feels unworthy of her as he is now.
The wheels under him kept turning, much like ng Cheng’an’s mind at the mont, going in circles.
So ti passed, feeling like a century, and when they almost reached their destination, ng Cheng’an finally gathered his scattered thoughts, speeding up to match pace with Tian Xiang, tentatively asking her, "Lunch together tomorrow?"
Finally, this person took such a long ti and found the right path!
Tian Xiang: "Haven’t we often been having als together lately?"
As long as they don’t go out, the two would always run into each other.
Tian Xiang knew he always waited for her.
Yes, that’s too mundane, no different than usual.
ng Cheng’an realized and after thinking said, "Dinner together, let’s go to Bridgehead Restaurant."
That’s an invitation for a date.
Why go to a restaurant for no reason!
Tian Xiang: "Why waste money, you need tickets too."
ng Cheng’an: "..."
"Then, what do you want to do? I’m open to your suggestions."
Not bad, quite perceptive.
Tian Xiang: "Let’s go for a walk by the river after work tomorrow, and visit my friend."
It’s been a while since she saw Zhuang Eri, not sure how she’s doing with Jiang Gaojun, tomorrow is a good ti to check on them.
ng Cheng’an’s head started spinning again, "Okay, okay, we’ll go to the river."
Turns out, that person really is himself!
Happiness ca too suddenly, ng Cheng’an’s mind blanked, and with a thud, he bumped into a roadside utility pole.
Tian Xiang was startled, quickly getting off her bike to check.
"Are you okay?"
Tian Xiang helped him, who had fallen, back on his feet.
ng Cheng’an rubbed the spot he hit on his head, "I’m fine, really."
"Really okay?"
Tian De was still worried, afraid that because she agreed to a date, the plot would retaliate against him.
"It’s okay, just took a fall."
ng Cheng’an t Tian Xiang’s concerned gaze, and his heart felt warm like a cozy lake.
The two got back on their bikes and continued forward.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Tian Xiang waved to him and went inside.
ng Cheng’an stood watching her figure disappear around the corner before turning around to leave.
Throughout the journey, he felt an unprecedented joy, several tis wanting to shout out loud.
Once he got ho, after putting away his bike, he was eager to share the news with his grandfather, but found the old man sitting in the hall smoking a roll of tobacco.
Seeing his grandson, the old man wiped his face, looking stern and slightly sad, "You’re back."
