Lu Xize nodded affirmatively and said, "Mm, of course. In the past, I’ve hidden things or even lied to people before, no matter if those lies were well-intentioned or not, I’ve told a few."
"Including to your two ex-girlfriends?"
"Mm."
"So... what kind of lies did you tell them?"
Lu Xize raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, "Are you really that interested in these questions?"
"No... just asking casually."
Lu Xize laughed silently, gently poking her forehead with a doting look and tone, "It’s not really lying, just keeping so things to myself! Don’t overthink it, it’s all in the past."
"What am I thinking? I’m not thinking anything. Just... pure curiosity, asking casually." Yun Xi stubbornly pouted, turning her head stiffly to avoid looking at him.
"Is that so?" Lu Xize deliberately elongated his words, then sniffed forcefully from left to right, "Since we left the restaurant and got in the car, I’ve slled a strong, sour scent. Haven’t you noticed?"
"What? Are you saying I’m jealous?" Yun Xi said, glaring at him with anger, instantly brushing his hand away and stiffly straightening her neck, feeling panicked as if he had hit the nail on the head.
"Aren’t you?"
"Nonsense, why would I be jealous? I... I was just curious, asking casually." As she spoke, Yun Xi turned her body, fanning her face with her hands, and unbuttoned her coat, mumbling quietly, "Phew, why is it suddenly so hot, I haven’t even turned on the heater!"
Lu Xize silently laughed again, leaning slightly closer to her, teasing, "Mm, it is quite hot, your face and ears are both red."
Hearing his obviously flirtatious tone, Yun Xi instinctively turned to look, never expecting Lu Xize’s head to be so close to her shoulder. The mont she turned, their faces were just inches apart, almost touching lips, which startled her into breathlessness.
"Why... why did you suddenly get so close? Trying to scare to death?" Yun Xi panicked, leaning back and stepping away.
Lu Xize seized the opportunity to wrap his arm around her slim waist, raising the corner of his mouth, gazing at her lips trembling due to her nervousness, and instinctively lowered his head to kiss her lips.
As the cool sensation spread, Yun Xi’s pupils dilated, her whole body stiff in his embrace, feeling at a loss, and in the quiet room, she could almost hear her own heartbeat clearly.
Seeing that she didn’t resist, Lu Xize raised his other hand to hold her head, gradually deepening the kiss.
Not knowing how long had passed, Yun Xi felt she couldn’t breathe and gently touched his shirt, prompting Lu Xize to sense sothing amiss, and after a slight pause, he reluctantly broke the kiss, breathing heavily as he gazed at her.
"Are you okay?"
His warm, deep voice pulled her thoughts back, and with a blushing face, she looked up at him, and with just one glance, she angrily pounded his chest.
The unexpected punch took Lu Xize by surprise, and he grunted, "Ugh... Why did you suddenly hit ?"
"You jerk, scoundrel, player, why did you kiss ? Are you insane?" Yun Xi was both angry and anxious, especially about her own reaction earlier, feeling regret for not pushing him away, and anxious because he had previously said he wouldn’t like her, yet now he kissed her. She wasn’t soone who was easygoing, so thinking about it, her hits beca stronger and stronger.
"Pain, pain, pain, go easy, go easy, if you cripple , you’ll have to take care of for the rest of my life!" Lu Xize, with one arm still holding her, grabbed her hand that was hitting his chest hard.
"Take care of you? Dream on!"
"Then stop hitting, I’ll take care of you instead!"
Yun Xi froze again at his words, "Can you speak properly? Don’t say things that are so easily misunderstood, okay?"
"Hmm? Misunderstood? Misunderstood what?"
"Misunderstood... ahem..." Yun Xi looked down a bit embarrassed, "Misunderstood as you liking !"
"Hmm? When did I say... I didn’t like you?" Lu Xize raised an eyebrow, pausing deliberately before asking with a aningful look.
"You said it last ti, saying I’m delicate, spoiled, bad-tempered, so fierce, whoever likes is unlucky, whoever marries must be blind, did you say those things? Try saying it with your conscience." Yun Xi pouted angrily at him, venting both the past grievances and present frustrations.
"You... rember that?" Lu Xize was stunned for a mont, incredulously asking.
"What else? I have an excellent mory, especially for holding grudges, I probably won’t forget it in this lifeti."
"No, weren’t you drunk that day? That’s why I... wait..." Halfway through his sentence, Lu Xize suddenly realized sothing was off, his smile growing brighter and more joyous, "So... your confession when you were drunk wasn’t just drunken rambling? You ant it?"
Yun Xi was speechless, realizing that during her confession last ti, he thought it was just drunken gibberish.
Throughout her life, she had never expressed her true feelings to anyone, not even her mother, at most giving gifts and saying happy holidays or happy birthday, let alone confessing. How did it beco drunken words with him?
"No, I’m just spouting nonsense, not serious at all." Yun Xi sulkily dropped her head, wanting to push him away.
But as soon as they put so distance between them, Lu Xize pulled her back, smiling, "I wasn’t sincere with the things I said that day. I just wanted to see you get angry and stomp your feet. I thought you were joking, that’s why I said what I did. Don’t be mad, I was wrong, I’ll reflect on it, okay?"
"Not okay, let go of . If you don’t, I’ll call soone." Yun Xi struggled forcefully, but Lu Xize refused to let go, making her increasingly exasperated.
"Call away! Go ahead, call soone. I’m hugging my own wife, I wonder who would dare interfere." Lu Xize snorted disdainfully, acting like a scoundrel, with an utterly unabashed deanor.
"Who’s your wife? When did I ever beco your wife?" Yun Xi slapped his chest, trying hard to control her heart’s racing.
"Just now."
"Just now?"
"I’m not the kind of person who’s frivolous and irresponsible. Since we’ve kissed, naturally you’re mine."
Hearing his shaless logic, Yun Xi’s corner of her mouth twitched fiercely a few tis, glaring at him with disgust, "You’re talking like I begged you to take responsibility. We’re both adults, even if we’ve slept together, I don’t care about you taking responsibility, okay? Go away, hurry, I don’t want to see you at all right now."
"Then since that’s the case, you take responsibility for ! I care, can you?"
"I won’t!" Yun Xi raised her head, confidently refuting.
Just as she finished speaking, Lu Xize lowered his head and gently pecked her on the lips, imitating her tone just now, "Soone was just getting jealous a mont ago, and now says ’I won’t!’ Who are you fooling?"
"Lu Xize, you..."
"Alright, I was wrong." Seeing her about to get angry, Lu Xize hurriedly admitted his mistake, giving her a smile.
Yun Xi gave him an annoyed glance, slowly lowered her head, and said nothing.
Lu Xize looked at the top of her head, smiled, and stopped teasing her. His expression beca serious, and his tone steady, "Yun Xi... let’s be together!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi raised her eyes to et his gaze, pressing her lips together with a hint of a smile, "Are you... confessing to ?"
"Yes."
"Aren’t confessions supposed to be ’I like you, I want to be with you’ and stuff?"
"Isn’t that the sa aning as what I said?"
"Though it’s the sa, I still want to hear it."
"Alright, whatever you want to hear, I’ll say it."
"Lu Xize is a jerk."
"..."
Yun Xi looked at him with amusent, her face full of smugness, "You said you would say whatever I want to hear, didn’t you? I just want to hear this now."
"Be good, let’s change to sothing else, not this."
"No, I just want to hear this."
"Let’s not, change to sothing else, be good, this isn’t nice."
Yun Xi pouted and gave him an annoyed glance, "Then confess again."
Lu Xize squinted, seemingly seeing through all her small thoughts, "Alright, listen carefully, once this village is passed, there’s no more shop. Yun Xi, I like you, be my girlfriend! No refusing, and refusal is not accepted, okay, I’ve said it, are you happy now?"
He spoke quickly towards the end, leaving Yun Xi no chance to interrupt. Once he finished, she showed a satisfied and happy smile.
"Who confesses like this, just finishes saying ’be my girlfriend!’ and then imdiately ’no refusal’, who’s so domineering and unreasonable?"
"! Because there’s only one unique Lu Xize in the world, one who just likes you, one who cherishes and wants to always love you, one who wants to hold your hand, eat with you, watch you smile, see you be playful, indulge in your whims and pampering, one who wants to spend his life with you." Lu Xize held her hand and gently kissed it by his lips, his eyes filled with deep aning, "Though feelings arise unknowingly, they really go deep, Yun Xi, are you willing?"
At this mont, Lu Xize was very earnest, even when speaking, the hand around her waist was tightened further without showing any intention of loosening.
He truly didn’t know when he started to have feelings for Yun Xi, but when he realized, she was already in his heart, and he couldn’t let go. Sotis, while signing docunts, he would subconsciously sign her na.
Even when not seeing her, he would worry whether she had eaten well, how her mood was today.
