Chapter 628: Chapter 599: Trouble Brewing_2
Li Mingguang, tall and sturdy, was barely shaken by the punch from the petite He Xuerong, but he couldn’t pretend nothing had happened. He stepped back, clutching his chest, yet moved two steps forward, bringing him closer to He Xuerong. He lowered his head, and his towering figure instantly enveloped her.
Li Mingguang wasn’t foolish; even if boys have simpler minds, he roughly understood sothing.
If not now, then when?
“Rongrong, we grew up together. You know the best and you surely understand my feelings for you.”
After what had just happened, He Xuerong had lost her complex little sches. She glared at Li Mingguang and said unabashedly, “Your feelings for are up to no good, aren’t they?”
Li Mingguang chuckled softly and reached out to ruffle her hair, ssing it up before he finally pulled his hand back, satisfied. Just as He Xuerong was about to hit him, Li Mingguang simply grabbed both her hands.
The campus had beco much more open these days, with couples everywhere, especially holding hands on campus roads at night.
There was a small grove behind the campus, said to be the perfect spot for private etings. At night, many couples would go there for intimate monts, though the school was strict about it.
Dating was fine, but other activities were not, as they could adversely affect the school’s reputation. There were patrols at night, so people generally didn’t dare do anything too outrageous.
But Li Mingguang, holding He Xuerong’s hands and standing under the streetlight’s glow, appeared very intimate, certainly attracting attention.
Just as He Xuerong was about to speak, Li Mingguang tily let go of her hands but didn’t step back. Instead, he spoke in a low voice, “Rongrong, I don’t know what’s bothering you, but I…” He paused, the youth’s smile slightly bitter yet bright, “Rongrong, I like you, and that’s indisputable, unchanging for a lifeti. But I won’t force you, nor should you feel burdened. I ant to wait until after graduation to tell you, but I changed my mind just now. If I waited four more years to express my feelings, that would make a scoundrel, deserving of contempt.”
He Xuerong turned her face away, refusing to look at Li Mingguang, so different from her fiery deanor monts ago, yet she didn’t imdiately show opposition, which for so reason made Li Mingguang feel a slight joy.
“We’re still young, and we need to focus on our studies in college. I don’t want you to be distracted or worry about these things. You just need to understand my feelings.”
Then he added, apologetically, “My words today are a bit incoherent and lack logic, but I think you can understand my feelings, right?”
This ti, He Xuerong humd softly, then feigned impatience. “Okay, okay, stop rambling.”
“Alright, I won’t ramble.” Seeing the opportunity, Li Mingguang stopped, his face wearing a doting smile. He Xuerong’s face turned quietly red.
Then silence fell around them, as if the voices of students passing by and the sound of the wind rustling the branches gradually faded away, leaving just the two of them.
At that mont, He Xuerong felt quite content. He had always been by her side, and she was used to it. She couldn’t accept anyone else in his place.
What was love, really? She wasn’t sure, but she surely liked him too.
Then He Xuerong laughed, and Li Mingguang completely relaxed. This ti he didn’t hold her hand but took the books she was carrying, and they walked shoulder to shoulder towards the library’s entrance.
Then He Xuerong completely forgot what she had intended to tell Li Mingguang about her parents soon having a baby.
It wasn’t until she was about to sleep that night that she rembered, finding it sowhat unbelievable but also very sweet.
She savored the monts she had spent with Li Mingguang in great detail.
These details, unlike with anyone else, almost ford an ocean.
Alright, she thought before sleep, no more awkwardness.
When Qiao Qingyu received a phone call from He Xuerong, she felt the girl had changed sowhat. It was a subtle and hard-to-describe change, but she sensed the child was in a very good mood, almost bashfully so.
