Yang Feilong held Lin Yunxi, inhaling her scent, which was intoxicating.
Lin Yunxi also held Yang Feilong, feeling his aura, the one she loved, warm and substantial.
Yang Feilong's voice trembled as he asked, "Yunxi, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
His voice was soft yet laced with nervousness. To be honest, though he had many girlfriends, he didn't know how to confess.
This was his second direct confession. The first was to Li Yufei in Myanmar, and this was the second.
Lin Yunxi's body shivered slightly. She had finally received his confession, not tomorrow, not the day after, but today. She was surprised.
She knew Yang Feilong well. Precisely because she knew him, she understood how rare it was to hear such words from him. She was inexplicably moved. She wanted to tell him she would, but she forced herself to calm down.
Hearing Lin Yunxi's long silence, Yang Feilong's heart plummeted to rock bottom.
"I can't promise you," Lin Yunxi's voice was soft, but it struck Yang Feilong's heart like a hammer, making his face turn pale.
Yang Feilong didn't feel embarrassed, but bewildered. Had he lost her after all?
At this moment, his hands that had been around Lin Yunxi's waist began to drop involuntarily, as if all strength had left him. His heart seemed to have plunged into an abyss.
Lin Yunxi naturally saw the sudden dimming of Yang Feilong's spirit. She hugged him tightly and chuckled, "Silly boy, I can't promise you because I haven't figured out how to face your other girlfriends yet."
"Huh?" Yang Feilong's heart soared back to heaven. He eagerly pressed, "Then when will you figure it out?"
"That depends on your performance!" Lin Yunxi said with a playful smile.
At this moment, she faintly saw a glimpse of the girl she was when they first met. She had changed, yet she hadn't.
"Uh, can you give me some hints?" Yang Feilong awkwardly scratched his head. He was truly not good at this.
"Silly you," Lin Yunxi smiled playfully, exasperated. If others knew he had many girlfriends, they'd think he was a Casanova. Only she knew that he was clumsy in matters of the heart, relying on women to fall for him and his inability to refuse.
Expecting him to do something deeply touching was like waiting for the sky to fall. Frankly, his主动 confession today had already exceeded her expectations.
Seeing Yang Feilong's expectant gaze, Lin Yunxi sighed softly, "Alright, consider me scared of you. When I no longer mind you having other girlfriends, I'll be your girlfriend. This might still take some time. Can you wait?"
"Yes," Yang Feilong promised. This was something he was good at.
Seeing Yang Feilong's eager assurance, Lin Yunxi chuckled.
"You look really beautiful when you smile," Yang Feilong said tenderly.
"Silly you," Lin Yunxi pouted, but she was very happy to be praised by Yang Feilong. After all, she liked him. Even if he wasn't good with sweet talk, she still liked him.
"I want to kiss you," Yang Feilong looked at Lin Yunxi and said seriously.
"Ah?" Lin Yunxi was stunned. Before she could agree or disagree, Yang Feilong kissed her.
Lin Yunxi had many things she wanted to say, but they were all silenced.
Compared to the kiss when Yang Feilong was unconscious, this kiss felt even more wonderful. She felt as if she had ascended to the clouds, her body about to float.
So, this was what kissing was like!
After a long moment, their lips parted.
"I didn't even say yes or no, why did you kiss me?" Lin Yunxi asked, her voice a mix of shyness and something else.
"I couldn't help it!" Yang Feilong said innocently.
Lin Yunxi: "..."
"But your lipstick tastes really good," Yang Feilong said with a smile, a hint of a smirk on his lips.
"Ah, were you pretending to be asleep before?" Lin Yunxi playfully punched Yang Feilong's chest with her fists, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Ah, spare me! I was wrong. I wasn't pretending then, I was truly unconscious. It's just that your story had too many holes," Yang Feilong pleaded, explaining as he did.
"What holes?" Lin Yunxi asked curiously. "I thought my reason was quite good!"
"But you forgot one thing: your lipstick was quite worn off and uneven. Most people wouldn't notice, but I'm observant, so I saw it was from kissing," Yang Feilong chuckled lightly.
Lin Yunxi: "..."
Lin Yunxi's face turned beet red. "You scoundrel, why didn't you give me a hint?"
"If I had hinted then, everyone would have known," Yang Feilong said helplessly. "Speaking of which, I felt like Uncle Tie Rushan was holding back a laugh back then, as if he knew the truth."
"He didn't know the truth; it was that he saw me kiss you," Lin Yunxi said, her face still burning with shame.
"Ah?" Yang Feilong blinked.
So, Lin Yunxi briefly explained what had happened.
"Ahem, can you tell me why you secretly kissed me back then?" Yang Feilong asked curiously.
"Do you want to die? Are you feeling smug?" Lin Yunxi became flustered at his words, her small hands flailing at Yang Feilong, pinching and twisting.
"Wife, spare me! I was wrong!" Yang Feilong cried out, feigning pain.
Some passersby in the distance cast curious glances.
"Keep your voice down. Does it hurt that much?" Lin Yunxi looked at Yang Feilong, her face red.
"Yes, it really hurts!" Yang Feilong nodded vigorously, putting on a pained expression. He looked at Lin Yunxi pitifully, "Kissing my dear wife, you have to rub it for me, or it won't get better."
Lin Yunxi: "..."
Lin Yunxi's face was flushed as she looked at Yang Feilong, "Don't call me wife anymore. I haven't agreed to you yet."
She hadn't expected Yang Feilong to act like this. Now she decided to take back what she had said earlier. When he became mushy and acted spoiled, she couldn't resist.
"You've slept with me, you've kissed me, you can't shirk responsibility! From today onwards, you are my wife!" Yang Feilong said with a pitiful yet stubborn expression.
Lin Yunxi: "..."
She widened her eyes, looking at Yang Feilong, this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. How could he be so shameless?
"Don't look at me. Even if you look, you still have to take responsibility. I can't be slept with for free," Yang Feilong shrugged.
"..."
She was defeated!
Lin Yunxi felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. Just as she had composed herself and was about to speak, her eyes widened. Yang Feilong had kissed her again, silencing her.
After a long moment, their lips parted again.
"Responsibility or no responsibility? No responsibility? I'll kiss you until you agree today!" Yang Feilong looked at Lin Yunxi, smacking his lips. He seemed to have developed a taste for it and made a move to kiss her again.
"Stop, stop! If you kiss me any more, my lips will swell. I agree, okay? You rogue!" Lin Yunxi said with a laugh, but her face was full of smiles.
It had been a long time since she had been this happy.
She could tell that Yang Feilong truly liked her. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have played these tricks. His aim was to make her happy. She felt his feelings. This wasn't just a fleeting impulse; he truly liked her and wanted her to be his girlfriend. Since that was the case, she naturally wouldn't be so reserved anymore.
