Chapter 1974: She Changed
Bo Cixue felt that she had grown horns tonight.
In the past, she would never dare to challenge anyone.
She could not believe that she would ask such a question.
But she did not say anything immediately, as if waiting for his answer.
She could hear the rustling of the leaves around her.
Bo Cixue thought that she would panic, but unexpectedly, she was rather calm.
She looked down at their shoes.
Actually, he was just a step away.
They were very close.
She took a breath and could even smell the fresh and charming fragrance on him.
It was strange that he could still keep such a clean and fresh scent in such an environment.
Realizing that her thoughts were wandering off, Bo Cixue quickly regained her senses.
She said nothing and neither did he respond.
This silence continued for some time and Bo Cixue was getting impatient. She suddenly looked up…
He was so close, looking down at her. She did not know how long he had been doing this.
She looked up suddenly and accidentally grazed the corner of his lips.
Both of them froze.
Bo Cixue’s calm heart immediately became chaotic.
She wanted to explain herself, but felt that it made it more obvious.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something when she suddenly realized that he had taken a small step back.
Actually, his step was small and could not be noticed if one did not look closely.
But she did.
She looked at his face.
There were no lamps around the forest, only the bright moonlight.
She could not see the subtle expression on his face, but somehow, she still saw him freeze slightly.
He did not seem to like being touched.
Bo Cixue’s heart tightened.
Actually, when she accidentally touched him just now, it felt like a feather had brushed past. It was very light.
But it seemed to have aroused his disgust.
Bo Cixue gave a faint smile. “I didn’t mean to just now.”
He looked at her lowered head. “I know.”
Bo Cixue calmed her heart and took a deep breath. “Forget it. Let’s act like nothing happened tonight.”
She turned, wanting to leave.
But very soon, her slender wrist was grabbed by a warm hand.
He pulled her close.
“Cixue, look up at me.”
Bo Cixue did as he said and looked up at him.
His eyes were like a reef at the bottom of the sea, so dark that no one dared to look at them directly.
“I’ve never liked anyone, so I don’t know what it’s like to like someone. When I was young and saw my parents interacting, my father would care if my mother said anything more to another man. I thought that possessiveness wouldn’t happen to me.”
“But seeing you this time, I realized that I’m also that possessive.”
“I think I like you.”
He said it very seriously without any hint of frivolity or falsehood.
Bo Cixue did not ask him about that woman from a few years ago. There was no point in pursuing the past.
She looked up slightly, a coy smile on her red lips. “Really?”
Seeing her expression, he frowned slightly. “You don’t think that it’s true?”
Bo Cixue raised her hands and put them on his broad shoulders, hugging his neck.
To be honest, they had never been so close apart from the memories of him hugging her when they were young.
He was a lot taller than her.
She tiptoed slightly while hugging him, her bright doe eyes staring at him brightly. “If you like me, kiss me.”
He looked down at her, not pushing her away.
But he did not kiss her.
The surrounding air seemed to have frozen.
“Cixue, give me some time…”
Before he could finish, he heard her laugh.
The slender hand around her neck loosened and she took a few steps back.
The moment she requested for him to kiss her, she saw a dazed look flash past his eyes and his back tensing up.
She had noticed this emotion when she accidentally touched his lips earlier.
“Brother Xiaojie, you’ve been busy with work all these years. All your attention has been on your work. It seems like you really need to find a woman to date.”
“Look, you already have the illusion that you like me. It has only been a few days since I came to Beicang and followed you into the forest. Why do you think you like me?”
“Actually, you’re just upset and disappointed. After all, I used to like you for so many years and treated you like you meant the world to me. This time, I’ve put the past behind me and you just had a psychological fall.”
“This is a very normal reaction and also a weakness of human nature. You don’t have to care too much about it.”
Bo Cixue shrugged, as if she did not care about what had happened between them. She smiled lazily and said, “Even if you like me, I won’t accept it.”
She was not a pet. She wouldn’t be at his beck and call.
“This time, I came with you for Sikong Ling. Don’t misunderstand anything. I’m good to you because we grew up together and were childhood sweethearts.”
Bo Cixue said what she wanted to say in one breath. “I’m going back to rest.”
Bo Cixue took a few steps forward and suddenly heard his cold voice. “Even if I like you, you won’t like me anymore?”
Bo Cixue did not think that he liked her. She waved her hand indifferently. “Three years ago, I left the capital and cried all the way throughout the flight. From then on, I never shed a tear for you again. Let’s not talk about liking each other anymore in the future. We’re just good friends.”
“Please don’t cause any trouble for me and let me go.”
Bo Cixue quickened her pace and left.
She thought she would be sad, but she sighed in relief.
It was good to say it out loud.
She would not get injured again if she didn’t have any stray thoughts!
Bo Cixue did not turn back, but she could feel that pair of dark eyes were on her.
Ye Jie leaned against a tree behind him and pulled his collar away, still feeling slightly uncomfortable.
He looked up slightly, his slender fingers pinching his eyebrows.
“How long more are you planning to peek at us?”
There was a laugh behind and Yan Bei walked out from the darkness.
“You can’t blame me for peeking. I got up to smoke tonight and didn’t expect to bump into such a good show.”
“I just don’t understand. Since you like her, why didn’t you kiss her when she asked you to?”
Ye Jie took off his black shirt and rolled up his sleeves. “Let’s have a duel.”
Yan Bei was speechless. What kind of world was this? Was he going to use him as a punching bag now that he was in a bad mood?
Before Yan Bei could say anything, a strong fist swung toward him.
