3492 I Like You Too
Ren Linna and the others—the three all revealed the warm smile of an aunt.
Ren Linna then asked, “What do you feel when you think of him? Does your heart race wildly? Do you blush? Smile uncontrollably?”
“I… just get into a really good mood.” The image of Han Zhuofeng at her door earlier popped into Xi Jiling’s mind. He looked silly as he stood there scratching his head.
…Especially when he realized that the excuse he gave was kind of lousy.
!!
His embarrassed appearance was indeed rather amusing.
At the thought of this, Xie Jiling couldn’t resist smiling.
However, she imdiately froze right after.
She was behaving just like Ren Linna, and the others said—smiling uncontrollably when she thought of Han Zhuofeng.
Xie Jiling covered her face with her hands. She felt like she was dood.
anwhile, new notifications kept appearing for the WeChat group chat.
Xie Jiling patted her scorching cheeks before playing the voice ssages from her roommates.
Kuang Xiaorou: “So what do you think? What do you think?”
Xie Jiling held her phone and said quietly, “I don’t know.”
Feng Yaqing: “Do you know what it is now?”
“I have all the signs Linna said earlier,” Xie Jiling said. “I know what’s going on now. Thank you all.”
“Then what are you going to do? Confess?” Ren Linna asked hastily.
Xie Jiling felt too embarrassed to say that Han Zhuofeng had already confessed to her.
“I’m going to sleep. You should all sleep early too. Goodnight.” Xie Jiling put down her phone and then buried her face in her hands.
Ren Linna raised her head and looked at Kuang Xiaorou and Feng Yaqing in disbelief. “Jiling knows how to change the topic of conversation smoothly now. She must have been hanging around Han Zhuofeng for too long. Those who work with ink are stained black—the environnt makes the person, I guess.”
Xie Jiling tried to sleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep.
Now, she would think about Han Zhuofeng even without shutting her eyes. Then, whenever she closed her eyes, the image of him in her mind would be enlarged, throwing her feelings into further disarray. In that case, she might as well not shut her eyes at all.
Xie Jiling picked up her phone and saw that there was nothing new in her chat with Han Zhuofeng on WeChat.
As such, she couldn’t tell if he were still awake.
Could it be that he was truly planning on holding himself back until 8 a.m. tomorrow morning before he would ask her again?
Xie Jiling’s mind was in a ss, and so were her feelings. She couldn’t fall asleep at all.
So she thought that she might as well just watch a variety show.
The variety show was very lively and funny, so it was able to help her take her mind off Han Zhuofeng sowhat.
Without realizing it, she kept watching until 2 am.
She had no choice but to sleep now, even though she wasn’t actually tired.
Xie JIling looked at the ti and felt that Han Zhuofeng should be sound asleep by this ti, so he wouldn’t be looking at his WeChat for a little while.
Having made up her mind, Xie Jiling decided not to drag things out any longer.
She wasn’t the person who would leave soone waiting in suspense when she had already made a decision.
Consequently, Xie Jiling typed out: “You don’t need to wait till 8 am. I’m giving you a positive response now.”
She didn’t press the send button, though.
Then, she read her ssage over and over again.
She wondered inwardly if Han Zhuofeng would understand what she ant.
Wouldn’t he find it confusing what she ant by a positive response/
As such, Xie Jiling deleted the ssage she had just finished typing.
She thought about it and typed out a new ssage: “I like you, too.”
This way, Han Zhuofeng wouldn’t misunderstand anything.
Xie Jiling couldn’t bring herself to say anything else.
She reached her limits just by typing out these four words.
Looking over the ssage again, she felt that the words were clear enough.
Xie Jiling’s heart was racing wildly at this mont. She had ascertained her intention, but she felt too embarrassed to send the ssage.
She put her phone down and closed her eyes. After a while, she picked her phone back up. Then, she thought about it and put the phone back down again.
She did this repeatedly quite a few tis.
After that, she told herself that what was fated to happen would happen eventually.
She would have to declare how she felt sooner or later.
Since she liked him, she couldn’t keep hiding it.
Han Zhuofeng had already asked her, so she would have to give him an answer at so point.
She might as well get it done without all this hesitation.
Consequently, Xie Jiling gritted her teeth and picked up the phone again.
With the mindset of wanting to just get this over with, she resolutely pressed the send button while feeling like a valiant martyr.
The internet speed at the family ho was truly impressive.
There was no delay at all; the ssage was sent out imdiately.
Xie Jiling waited for quite a while in suspense, but she didn’t receive a response from Han Zhuofeng.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Now, she finally confird that Han Zhuofeng was truly asleep.
Otherwise, she would feel quite embarrassed to chat with him right now.
She was still ntally unprepared for what was to co.
Han Zhuofeng would be leaving early tomorrow morning, so he definitely wouldn’t wake her up.
Additionally, he would be filming the whole day.
Fortunately, this gave Xie Jiling so ti to adjust to the situation.
She had no experience with being in love.
After all, she was a young woman who did not even know what it felt like to like soone.
As such, she needed so ti to adjust.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to face Han Zhuofeng.
But now that she was free of this load that was on her mind, Xie Jiling stopped thinking about the matter and finally felt relaxed.
She shut her eyes and fell asleep after a few monts.
***
Han Zhuofeng’s phone alarm rang on schedule at 4 am.
Han Zhuofeng turned off the alarm and relied on his willpower to force himself to sit up. After that, he leaned against the bed’s headboard in a daze with his eyes squinted for ten or so seconds.
He was so tired that he wanted to go back to sleep, but he didn’t dare to. He was afraid that he would oversleep the mont he closed his eyes.
Ultimately, he closed his eyes but got off the bed and felt his way to the bathroom. He washed his face with cool water and finally felt better.
After having a shower, Han Zhuofeng tidied up and prepared to leave.
He picked up his phone and looked at the ti.
It was then that he realized there was a WeChat notification.
He had set his phone to block most of the notifications from the app.
There was only a small number of people he allowed notifications for.
This was so he could see those notifications imdiately.
So, Han Zhuofeng opened the notification as he prepared to head out.
In the end, he discovered that it was actually a ssage from Xie Jiling!
At this mont, Han Zhuofeng had just stepped out, so he was standing in the corridor right outside Xie Jiling’s room.
He stopped walking.
He lowered his head and opened his chat with Xie Jiling.
Then, he saw the ssage she sent him a ssage at 2 am.
“I like you, too.”
Han Zhuofeng opened his mouth wide and took in a deep breath. He almost shouted out of excitent.
That was two in the morning!
The ssage was sent just two hours ago!
If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn’t have slept!
After all, he had to wake up early today. Waking up early felt really awful, so he might as well have just stayed up all night.
Then, he would have been able to imdiately see Xie Jiling’s ssage.
Han Zhuofeng regretted it a lot.
Nevertheless, he was also extrely happy.
He couldn’t stop laughing. “Ha… hahaha.”
He wanted to see Xie Jiling right now.
However, Xie Jiling was still asleep.
He couldn’t bear to disturb her sleep.
Han Zhuofeng rubbed his phone excitedly between his hands.
He couldn’t bear to wake Xie Jiling up, but he felt that his grandparents would definitely want to know this good news.
His grandparents had a habit of sleeping and waking early. They wouldn’t mind being woken up an hour earlier if it was for this good news.
So, Han Zhuofeng ran downstairs excitedly to his grandparents’ room.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Han Zhuofeng knocked on the door of their room.
There was no response, so he knocked again.
“Who is that?” His grandfather’s irritable voice rang out from inside the room.
“Grandfather, it’s . Are you still asleep?” Han Zhuofeng asked, even though he already knew the answer.
His grandmother was still sleeping, and she imdiately kicked his grandfather.
