Chapter 247 Confession and Rejection

Yu Xiao didn't answer. In fact, she didn't hear Chi Xiuchuan's words clearly. She just looked at the other's Adam's apple rolling up and down in a daze.

Moreover, she felt that something was wrong with her today. There seemed to be an emotion in her heart that was expanding uncontrollably, quickly filling her whole body and even invading her mind.

This couldn't help but make her feel a little scared, and she had an uneasy feeling that she was about to explode at any second.

Subconsciously, Yu Xiao wanted to suppress the fermentation of this inexplicable emotion.

……

"Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao?"

Chi Xiuchuan called out a few times but saw that Yu Xiao kept his eyes down, as if he was distracted. He couldn't help but become more worried. He grabbed Yu Xiao's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the school hospital."

"what?"

Yu Xiao woke up suddenly. The burning temperature on her wrist made her a little dizzy, but it also seemed to make her a little more sober.

"I am fine."

"Chi Xiuchuan, I have something to tell you."

Yu Xiao raised her eyes and met Chi Xiuchuan's worried and doubtful eyes. Her other hand couldn't help but tightly clutched the clothes on her chest. She could feel the violent beating of her heart so clearly.

Hearing Yu Xiao finally speak, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that he had leaned forward a lot without realizing it. The branches were pressed down, and the leaves were rustling slightly.

Fortunately, the two people below didn't have the mind to pay attention to anything else, and probably didn't notice the branches and leaves suddenly swaying without wind.

……

Xiao Xiao leaned forward a little more. With his eyesight, he could naturally see Yu Xiao's trembling body. He was not sure whether it was caused by her inner nervousness and excitement, or... the effect of the hair of the 猼訑 in the sachet?
Seeing Yu Xiao's lips turning pale due to excessive force, Xiao Xiao's nerves also tensed up.

He could vaguely feel that the evil spirit flowing from the red sachet on the girl's wrist was slowly seeping into the girl's skin.

It exudes an irresistible mysterious aura in a subtle and silent way.

Xiao Xiao could see that Yu Xiao's eyes were getting brighter and brighter as she raised them, and a blush spread across her slightly thin cheeks, which kept deepening layer by layer, like ripe fruits in autumn, and even her lips looked delicate and tempting.

Yu Xiao seemed to be doing her best to radiate her greatest beauty.

The bright eyes were filled with piety as they looked at Chi Xiuchuan intently.

Chi Xiuchuan seemed to sense something and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Yu Xiao's arm. The scorching look on his face faded away and he looked at Yu Xiao with a bit of solemnity.

……

"Chi Xiuchuan."

Yu Xiao's voice was unusually hoarse.

His heart was beating wildly and his ears were roaring. Yu Xiao felt as if he couldn't even see the person in front of him.

Yu Xiao tried hard to open her eyes wide, her slender neck forming an elegant yet fragile curve, and she stared into Chi Xiuchuan's eyes.

This is the boy she fell in love with at first sight.

She always remembers everything about her youth, as if it were yesterday.

Clean, clear, and gentle, just like the hero who walked out of a comic book. I don’t know how many girls fell in love with him.

Including her.

In front of him, she lost her usual confidence.

Her appearance, which she was so proud of, seemed insignificant in front of the person she loved.

She worked so hard to get into the same university as him, and she tried her best to catch up with him.

However, the person in front of him always smiled gently, but was unaware of everything.

No matter if he is really slow-witted or just pretending to be ignorant, today, right now, Yu Xiao wants to express her feelings for him clearly to his face.

Yu Xiao's hands, which were clutching the clothes on her chest, had fine blue veins exposed, and there seemed to be a slight pain spreading from deep in her bones.

"Chi Xiuchuan, I like you."

……

Today is Saturday, and unless there are classes, the lab building is always quiet and peaceful. Moreover, it is still early, and there is a slight chill in the air in the autumn.

This is a cool yet somewhat desolate morning.

The girl's unstable and slightly hoarse voice was like a plucked taut string. It was not loud, but at this moment it had a shocking feeling.

Chi Xiuchuan was stunned for a moment.

It’s not that he has never been confessed to by a girl. On the contrary, too many similar experiences have made him change from being nervous when faced with girls’ confessions in the beginning to being able to reject them calmly, gently and politely later on.

However, perhaps it was because Yu Xiao's eyes were too hot and bright, and the strong emotions emanating from them made Chi Xiuchuan unable to utter the words of refusal.

At this moment, Yu Xiao was like a moth flying into a flame. Beneath his extreme enthusiasm was a hint of uneasiness and despair.

"Chi Xiuchuan, I like you."

Chi Xiuchuan's long silence made Yu Xiao extremely uneasy and panicked.

She even had the thought of retreating for a moment, but, inexplicably, her heart was beating so hard that the blood in her body felt like it was boiling.

She didn't want to escape anymore.

Looking at Chi Xiuchuan's seemingly complicated and dazed eyes, Yu Xiao confessed his feelings again.

She even went a step further and launched an "offensive".

"do you like me?"

Even though she felt that her voice was so loud that it almost made her heart stop beating, and she was a little worried whether she was a little aggressive? However, in fact, Yu Xiao's question was so soft that it was almost inaudible, with obvious caution and... pleading.

……

Yu Xiao's renewed confession and subsequent questions brought Chi Xiuchuan out of his previous daze. He lowered his eyelids slightly, hiding the complexity in his eyes.

To him, Yu Xiao was just a former high school classmate, current college classmate, and an ordinary friend with whom he could talk for a few words.

Therefore, Chi Xiuchuan looked into Yu Xiao's watery eyes, and there was some apology between his eyebrows, "Sorry."

……

Hug, sorry?

Yu Xiao didn't quite understand. Her eyes were dull and she looked at Chi Xiuchuan with her head slightly tilted. Just looking at this man made her happy.

"I'm sorry, Yu Xiao."

"I do not like you."

Chi Xiuchuan looks gentle and good-tempered, but he always rejects girls' confessions decisively.

In his opinion, an ambiguous attitude is actually the greatest harm to girls who like him.

Hey?
No, don’t like…me?

Before Yu Xiao understood these words, she felt the corners of her eyes getting hot, and two lines of tears slid down.

"Yu Xiao?"

Chi Xiuchuan's face showed some reluctance, his hand was half stretched out but finally stopped in mid-air.

Yu Xiao just stared at Chi Xiuchuan blankly. He heard nothing and his eyes were empty.

Chi Xiuchuan’s previous words kept echoing in my mind.

I do not like you.

Yu Xiao, I'm sorry, I don't like you.

do not like you.

dislike.
