Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Come on in.” Yang Qianqian said, pulling Yu Luocheng into the apartment.
There was a faintly pleasant scent wafting through the room, unlike the first time he was here. As expected, girls would always keep the place they stayed at clean and nice smelling. As the scent hit him, he felt his fatigue grow, especially when he saw the soft bed in front of him.
“Hurry up and sleep, you’re going to ruin your health.” Yang Qianqian said as she pushed Yu Luocheng towards the bed.
“You’re not angry?” Yu Luocheng asked, surprised.
Yang Qianqian shook her head, a dazzling smile appearing on her face.
“Rest a while, don’t you have to win later at night?”
Looking at Yang Qianqian’s smile, Yu Luocheng’s heart felt as if a weight had been lifted. He then realized that he had been holding Yang Qianqian’s smooth hand in his, including the fact that they were both sitting on the bed. Yu Luocheng swore to God that this time, he really hadn’t planned this. Everything was just happening naturally.
Seeing that Yang Qianqian still had misty eyes and he was still holding her hand, something snapped in him—the opportunity for a confession was here!
A girl and a guy, alone in a room, if he didn’t do anything…wouldn’t that mean he was destined to be gay?
Thinking of the impending confession, his heart started to beat faster as he slowly panicked.
“Qianqian, I…Um…That…”
Can you understand that feeling where it feels as if something will burst out of your chest, but the words you want to use to express yourself somehow had gotten stuck in your throat, unable to come out. He had never felt this apprehensive before, not even in the international arena. Even then, he had always managed to calm himself after the initial fright.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Qianqian asked.
Have courage and be brave!
Taking a deep breath and grasping her hands tighter in his, afraid that he would frighten her away, he said, “I…I like you.”
Yu Luocheng had planned to confess to Yang Qianqian starting with how he first felt when he met her and how his feelings had slowly built up all the way till now with elaborate and poetic words, intending to let her know how deep his feelings for her was. However, in that moment, he could only manage to form a few coherent words in his mind.
Since he could only manage to form those few words, he said the most important words that he had wanted to—I like you.
After he had uttered those words, he stared at Yang Qianqian earnestly. It wasn’t because he had heard that people who confessed needed to plaster a serious look on their faces, but rather, because he wanted to see her immediate reaction, whether she was happy or troubled, excited or emotionless…
At this time, however, no matter what expression her dainty face exposed, Yu Luocheng would not be able to decipher it. On Yang Qianqian’s end, she was shocked at the sudden confession.
She hadn’t expected Yu Luocheng to lay his heart bare at this time.
But after the initial shock, his words seemed to have a magical effect, flowing into her flustered heart, reassuring her and giving her a sense of indescribable feeling.
Her pale cheeks flamed up quickly and her breath caught in her throat, she could even feel static from the hands that held hers which hadn’t been there previously.
How was she to answer him?
I like you too?
Why was this guy so cunning, not even giving her any time to prepare her heart for this sudden confession?
Yang Qianqian was in a panic. She couldn’t form any words and her brain was suddenly empty. It was because she didn’t know what to say that her mind was filled with different emotions. She was afraid that her silent panic would lead to a misunderstanding with Yu Luocheng as they said that guys were extremely vulnerable during confessions, and anything the other person did would be rooted deeply in their hearts…
“Qianqian, I really like you.” Yu Luocheng felt that the power behind his first confession was not enough, and decided to say it again, in the same solemn voice as he did before.
LOL taught us a lot of logic, for example; when it was time to go, you shouldn’t retreat!
Yu Luocheng firmly believed in that saying!
‘I really like you,’ Yang Qianqian heard the words clearly this time. Rather than it being as sudden as it was previously, this time, she had some time to prepare her heart.
“Okay.” Finally, Yang Qianqian replied softly, not daring to say anything else.
Inside, she was berating herself. She had watched a lot of romance dramas, so why, when it came to herself, didn’t she know what to say. What was wrong with her?
She felt that her reaction was embarrassing, but to Yu Luocheng, this was the best reaction that she could have given him. He excitedly grasped both her hands in his and said, “Then…will you be my girlfriend?”
“Okay.” Yang Qianqian replied in the same soft voice, her face as red as a tomato as she nodded her head.
She didn’t know when she had started falling for this guy. His lazy smile and the face of concentration he made during competitions made her think that just maybe, her mind had always been filled with his mischievous laughter, and over time, she had just naturally fallen for him…
Seeing Yang Qianqian nod her head, Yu Luocheng felt like bursting with happiness.
She said yes!
He had a girlfriend!
Who was the one that said geeks needed to only rely on themselves to create their future, which guy had said that geeks were destined to be forever alone, and finally, only rot and become another guy’s play-thing!
Hadn’t he just gotten a girlfriend, and to top it all off, it was a long-legged beauty that played LOL as well!
You couldn’t imagine how proud Yu Luocheng was at this moment, and even more so, you couldn’t imagine the countless times he had dreamed of accomplishing this in reality…Other than feeling a bit sleepy, everything was just peachy!
“You should get some sleep.” Yang Qianqian said. She was still concerned about him, anybody would feel the strain of not sleeping for three days and three nights.
“I’m not tired, not at all!” Yu Luocheng felt as if he had a Baron Buff on himself.
“Just lie down, you’re not allowed to talk!” Yang Qianqian huffed.
“I’m really not sleepy, we can still talk a bit more. And…” Yu Luocheng actually wanted to take this chance to embrace her.
“No. Get some sleep, or I’ll take it back.” Yang Qianqian replied firmly.
“You can still take it back?” Yu Luocheng was dumbfounded.
He had never heard about this before?
What was this?
“I can break up with you.” Yang Qianqian said, grinning.
“…”
Alright, you win. This relationship has just started and you’re already talking about breaking up.
Not daring to say anything else anymore, Yu Luocheng hurriedly threw himself onto the bed to sleep. Initially, he had thought that he wouldn’t be able to sleep due to the excitement and happiness. As it turned out, however, he was really tired and before he could even invite her to lay down with him, the moment his head hit the pillow, he was already in dreamland, soft snores emitting from him.
Yang Qianqian gently withdrew her hand from his, sitting beside the bed and gazing at Yu Luocheng who was deep in slumber. She couldn’t help but think back to the indescribable feelings just now. Taking a shower and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Yang Qianqian also felt tired from being out the whole day and lay down in the bed beside him.
Although they had confirmed their relationship, her shyness and restrain made her keep some distance with Yu Luocheng. As she closed her eyes, she thought, ‘A person who has fallen asleep wouldn’t do any bad things to her, right?’
In fact, there were many girls who had become women overnight because of such an innocent appearance…
Don’t underestimate the nature of men, thank you.
