"Erm … Lin Siyao." Su Shuiche pondered for a long time before calling out to Lin Siyao, who was about to go back to his room after sending her back to her room after dinner.
Lin Siyao turned around and raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to continue.
"Erm, about today … I'm sorry. I was rash previously.
I forgot that you will also meet a woman you like, get married, and have children … I … shouldn't be so selfish as to pull you to settle down in Blossom Town … "Su Shuiche said intermittently, even though she had no idea what she was talking about.
She was sure that she had feelings for him, and because the two of them had lived together in the forest for nearly two months, she naturally had the idea of keeping him by her side.
However, she had yet to figure out the reason behind her thoughts.
However, when she blurted out to Aunt Lao without thinking and admitted that they were engaged, Su Shuiche suddenly realized that he already held a certain weight in her heart.
Unconsciously, she would involuntarily chase after his slender and handsome figure in her line of sight. No matter what happened, she would involuntarily look at his cold eyes, which inexplicably made her feel at ease.
However … she didn't know what he meant or why he agreed to her request. She was worried that he was simply repaying her kindness and was afraid that it would be too difficult for a woman to survive alone, so he couldn't bear to refuse her request and agreed to it.
If that was the case, her decision was really too selfish.
Su Shuiche's shoulders slumped, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
She didn't dare to look at his expression, afraid that he would heave a sigh of relief, wave goodbye to her, and go after the woman he liked.
She made wild guesses about Lin Siyao's various decisions, but she didn't dare to look up at his face.
"Is this what you want?" His unique cold voice sounded in her ear, but it was colder than usual.
Su Shui Yue raised her head in surprise. What?
What did he mean by this was what she wanted?
All she wanted was him.
Ah!
Su Shuiche suddenly covered her red lips that almost cried out in surprise. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.
She … she actually wanted him.
It wasn't as simple as the courteous and distant companionship as before, but … it was a desire that went beyond friendship.
She … had fallen in love with him. Subconsciously, she hoped that the two of them could get closer, such as getting married after settling down.
Su Shuiche was so embarrassed that her cheeks were burning. She put her hands on the table to cover her cheeks.
"What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell? "
Lin Siyao saw that she didn't say anything for a long time, so he leaned over to look at her. Only then did he notice her suddenly red cheeks. He thought that she had a heatstroke after walking for the whole day, so he frowned and gently touched her forehead. Fortunately, her forehead wasn't hot, but her cheeks seemed to be a little hot.
A hint of worry flashed in his eyes as he squatted down and asked in a low voice.
"I'm, I'm fine." Su Shuiche covered her still burning face and replied shyly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Siyao frowned. After thinking for a while, he reached out with his left hand to pull down her hands, which were covering her cheeks, and held them tightly in his broad palm. He gently lifted her chin with his right hand and made her look at him with her misty eyes. "Tell me, what's wrong?"
"I … I … am fine." Su Shuiche turned her face away, not daring to look into his cold and deep eyes.
"It has something to do with me?"
Lin Siyao didn't force her, but he still didn't want to let go of her soft and delicate hands.
He knew that this wasn't appropriate, but he didn't want to let go.
Even if she ran away and refused to accept him after knowing his feelings, it was still better than holding hope but not daring to try like now.
Su Shuiche didn't know how to answer. She couldn't be a woman and boldly say that she liked him, wanted to be with him, and didn't want him to leave her to marry another woman and have children.
"What you said before …" Lin Siyao thought for a moment, then said tentatively, "About the woman I like …"
Su Shuiche heard this and suddenly raised her head, but she didn't expect her forehead to bump into Lin Siyao's hard chin. "Ouch!" She was in so much pain that she almost cried.
Lin Siyao was stunned, then reached out to help her rub her slightly swollen forehead. He couldn't help but sigh. If she was like this, how could he let her go if they parted ways in the future?
"Just now, you …" Su Shuiche said helplessly. Did he really have a woman he liked?
Was it that Lu Wan'er from before?
Su Shuiche pursed her lips and suppressed the bitterness in her heart.
That's right, men all liked lively, cheerful, beautiful, and generous women like Lu Wan'er. Just like Brother Xinyi, didn't he also like the lively, cheerful, and beautiful Shui Yan instead of the taciturn Su Shuiche?
"Tell me first, what were you thinking about before?" Lin Siyao pulled up a round stool and sat next to her. He planned to clarify this matter today.
Even if he was eliminated, he would accept it. He didn't want to have any extravagant thoughts about her in the future.
"…" When Su Shuiche heard him mention the previous embarrassing matter, she suddenly didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Her face was flushed red again.
"Shuiche."
For the first time, Lin Siyao called out the name that had been in his heart countless times. He asked in a low voice, "Can I call you that?"
Su Shuiche's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but nod. When her name escaped from his mouth, it was as if it had magic that made her heart tremble.
"I have never given anyone a gift, let alone jewelry."
Lin Siyao looked at her face attentively and said this sentence almost word by word. It was the longest explanation in history.
For her, he was willing to exhaust his patience as long as she was willing to listen.
"You …" Su Shuiche couldn't believe his deep gaze. In the pair of eyes that had always been cold, there seemed to be some emotions that she couldn't understand.
But, what did he mean by saying this?
Could it be that it was what she thought?
Did he actually like her too?
"You … You just said … The woman you like … is …" She didn't believe her own guess and wanted to hear it from his mouth.
"Yes, you."
After Lin Siyao spat out these two words, he turned his head somewhat awkwardly. He was afraid to see the ridicule in her eyes, afraid that her expression would suddenly turn cold, and even more afraid to hear her reject him.
That's right, he was just a wandering cruel killer, how could he be worthy of such a gentle and beautiful woman.
Thinking like this, Lin Siyao got up, his footsteps were a bit staggered, and he anxiously walked out of her room.
She didn't say anything for a long time, wasn't that a tactful rejection?
But, what was this?
Lin Siyao looked down at the little hand that was tugging at his clothes, unwilling to let go. He looked up and saw Su Shuiche's delicate face that was still red, and her eyes that were still shy.
"I, I also feel the same." Su Shuiche gathered her courage and finally said the words that had been circling in her heart for a long time.
When Lin Siyao heard this, his body trembled. She, said what he thought.
He stood there silently, not daring to move his body. He was afraid that what he heard just now was just a hallucination.
"You don't believe me?"
Su Shuiche saw that he didn't make a sound for a long time and her heart became anxious. She quickly increased the strength of her hand and changed to pulling on his arm.
"I, what I said is true.
I … "
"I believe you."
After a long time, Lin Siyao finally found his voice. His low voice was mixed with some imperceptible trembling.
