Capítulo 922: Chapter 922: In This Life, He Only Wants Her “You must have misunderstood your fondness and reliance on your sister. Don’t bring this up again, and in a few years, you’ll understand that what you feel for me isn’t the kind of affection you think it is.” “I knew you’d say that.” Leng Yan’s burning gaze was fixed on her, and he stepped forward, wanting her to understand his feelings. He had always thought she was too young now, planning to confess to her when she was older and he was mature enough, believing she would be more accepting then. However, hearing what Yuan Yuan said today, he realized something surprising. He might think Xia Nuo was young, but other boys didn’t see her as young. She would soon turn sixteen, already a blossoming young girl, and she was so pretty that more and more people would develop feelings for her. If he continued to wait, sooner or later she would fall for someone else. He dared not wait, nor could he afford to wait. He had to make her aware of his feelings to capture her attention and prevent her from being attracted to other boys. Even if he was still young, so what? He had always been more mature than anyone else; he had always known what he wanted. He wanted Xia Nuo. He was clear that all he wanted in this life was her alone. As he approached, Xia Nuo hurriedly stepped back a few paces. She wanted to exert her sisterly authority to suppress him. But the brat was taller than her, and since he took up Taekwondo, his body had become much sturdier. Standing before her, she felt a lot of pressure. “Don’t come any closer.” Xia Nuo quickly reached out to block him, “Leng Yan, listen to your sister, forget about today, you’ll understand what liking someone means when you’re older.” “You don’t trust me.” Leng Yan’s dark eyes bore into her, his expression accusing as if her lack of trust hurt him deeply. Fresh chapters posted on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 “It’s not about not trusting you. It’s mainly because you’re young…” “So what if I’m young? I’m more mature than you.” “That’s nonsense, I’m five years older than you, a whole five years, how could you be more mature than me!” Xia Nuo deliberately raised her voice, as if speaking louder would better assert the truth. Leng Yan couldn’t help but laugh, his bright eyes looking at her with a gentle, doting tone, “Xia Nuo, are you feeling guilty now?” Xia Nuo’s heart clenched violently. Couldn’t he stop using such a tone with her? No way, she couldn’t continue facing him! “I’m heading home first, don’t follow me!” she hastily shouted, turned on her heel, and ran. A taxi approached, she quickly hailed it and rushed inside, eager to leave. She couldn’t face Leng Yan anymore, she couldn’t face him at all! Xia Nuo returned home, skipped the shower, and went straight to bed. She hugged her pillow tightly, her heart still racing, her face still flushed. From childhood to now, many boys had confessed to her. But she always dismissed it with a laugh, never experiencing a racing heart. Yet Leng Yan’s confession today not only caught her off guard but also left her at a loss, anxious and flustered. The brat, how could he like her? Although their relationship had been good these past few years, she never once felt that he liked her. Xia Nuo suddenly recalled the car accident that happened a year ago… At the hospital then, Leng Yan held her, did he confess he liked her? It turns out the affection he expressed at that time was a boy’s fondness for a girl, yet she foolishly understood it as a brother’s affection for his sister. And his grades clearly could get him into One High, yet he chose Three High. Was it because she was at Three High that he stayed there?
