"No, I’m not mad about this. Do you know who he likes? I really suspect that my judgment before was blind." Helian Xi really wanted to say a few "damn it!" "Shen Xinzhu. Do you know? Just that big innocent flower. Damn it! My worldview has been overturned! If he liked someone else, I could accept it. But Shen Xinzhu! To say I’m not as good as Shen Xinzhu, I’m really pissed at his ancestors for eighteen generations!" Helian Xi said indignantly. "Don’t swear, if you really want, I wouldn’t mind." Gu Jin Yan said, with a twinkle in his eyes and a hint of something else. "Huh??" Helian Xi’s face filled with confusion. After coming to her senses, "Wow, Big Bad Yan, you’re too dirty." Gu Jin Yan remained calm, "What did I say that made you think I’m dirty." "You... Didn’t you want me to mess around with you?" Helian Xi said straightforwardly, as usual. "I didn’t! Or is that what you really think internally? Xiao Xi, clearly you misunderstood me, the dirty one here is you." Gu Jin Yan said leisurely. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet "I... haha..." Helian Xi rolled her eyes, knowing she couldn’t win against Gu Jin Yan, she left it at that. Gu Jin Yan spent the whole day with Helian Xi, and suddenly pulled her close when he was sending her home at night. "What are you doing? Do you want to come in for a while?" Helian Xi asked. "Xiao Xi, what I said during the day is true." Gu Jin Yan exhaled deeply, "Xiao Xi, I know this is sudden, but I’ve held back for a long time." "What do you want?" Helian Xi took a few steps back, thinking Gu Jin Yan was plotting something again. "Xiao Xi, I like you." Before Gu Jin Yan could say more, Helian Xi stopped him, "Hold it, what are you up to now? Tell the truth, what are you planning to trick me?" "Is that how you see me? As someone who only bullies you." Gu Jin Yan’s face darkened, and he finally sighed, feeling a bit helpless. He moved a few steps forward, looking at Helian Xi, with warmth and deep affection, "Helian Xi, when I say I like you, I’m serious. Before, I didn’t say it because you were always hanging around Cheng Zhiyan. Later, you were sad because of him. Now, since you haven’t fallen for anyone else, can you like me?" "No, Big Bad Yan, are you serious? How could it be? How could you like me?" Helian Xi was incredulous, though she’d often said Gu Jin Yan was annoying and such. But Gu Jin Yan is truly exceptional! Academically outstanding, an entrepreneur, anything he does, he does perfectly. How could he like her? "If I didn’t like you, why would I always be around you? Do I really want to be bros with you? Am I crazy, constantly buying things for a bro, sending you snacks at night, accompanying your wild antics - do you think I’m that free?" He made such a sensible argument that she couldn’t refute it. Gu Jin Yan didn’t care what Helian Xi was thinking now; he just wanted to express his feelings to her. All of himself, whole and completely, he wanted to tell her. "My studies are busy, my work is busy, always at critical times. I need more time than others, and I make time to be with you. National Style Society wasn’t something I liked initially. But because you said you liked Hanfu, liked the National Style, that’s why I came to understand it."
