"Li Xiao!"
Cai Xiaotang suddenly shouted Li Xiao's name loudly.
"Um?"
Li Xiao was startled by her and turned his head subconsciously to look over.
He originally thought that Cai Xiaotang had specially arranged it and just wanted to stay here with him for a while and see the scenery.
But he didn't expect to turn around and see a "heroic sacrifice" expression on her face, and she immediately became serious.
"What's wrong?"
he asked hurriedly.
Cai Xiaotang was stunned when she heard this, thinking that he had guessed what she was thinking. Her face suddenly became hot, and she swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips.
no……
It’s already reached this point. If you don’t speak out, you will be suffocated to death!
She warned herself in her mind, finally made up her mind, and poured all the wine in her hand into her mouth.
Li Xiao looked at her in confusion and was about to speak when he heard Cai Xiaotang speak quickly: "Let me tell you, I've fallen in love with you!"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a moment.
After Cai Xiaotang finished speaking, her cheeks turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Li Xiao also looked dumb, as if he still hadn't recovered his senses.
What did Cai Xiaotang just say?
She...is confessing to herself?
Li Xiao's words replayed in his mind like a movie, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
this……
This is really the fastest and most straightforward confession he has ever seen...
A gust of wind blew by, rustling the trees not far away.
Cai Xiaotang lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips. For a long time, she didn't wait for Li Xiao's response, so she had to speak again: "What? Can't speak?"
There was a hint of stubbornness in her tone, mixed with a little bit of expectation.
Li Xiao's eyes suddenly became complicated, and he seemed to finally react.
Cai Xiaotang is confessing her love.
It was sudden and unprepared.
Countless struggles flashed through Li Xiao's heart. He looked at the person in front of him and considered how to reply.
He couldn't agree.
He didn't want to experience what happened back then again.
But……
Li Xiao's mind moved slightly, and he took a deep look at the person in front of him, and his usual non-serious joking look suddenly appeared on his face.
"Is today April Fool's Day?"
He asked with a deliberate smile.
Cai Xiaotang froze when he heard this, subconsciously widened his eyes and looked up at him.
She had imagined countless possibilities, but she never expected that the other party's answer would be like this.
The confession he had been planning for so long, he actually thought it was a joke?
Cai Xiaotang was inexplicably angry.
Li Xiao met her eyes and instantly understood the anger in her eyes, but felt helpless in his heart.
Isn't it a joke?
He didn't want to upset the balance between the two people.
If it were another woman, she might actually say it was a joke and cover it up.
But unfortunately, Li Xiao met Cai Xiaotang.
The two people looked at each other quietly, as if they were in a silent confrontation.
After a long time, Cai Xiaotang suddenly poured herself another glass of wine.
She didn't sip it in small sips, but took a sip and suddenly felt that after confessing her love once, all the previous nervousness was gone!
"Bang"!
Cai Xiaotang put the wine glass directly on the table.
"Li Xiao, let me say it again, I like you, I'm not joking. What do you think? We won't beat around the bush. You can tell me directly if you like it or not."
She spoke every word loudly and persistently wanted an answer.
Li Xiao stared at her and sighed silently in his heart.
really……
According to her personality, it is impossible to fool this matter.
But he had no choice but to refuse.
"Feel sorry."
Li Xiao whispered two words.
Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, and her face showed some disappointment for a moment, but she suddenly felt completely relaxed in her heart.
Getting this answer... doesn't seem surprising at all.
Anyway, I have been mentally prepared for a long time...
Cai Xiaotang didn't speak. She poured another glass of wine, but didn't drink it. She just pursed her lips tightly, feeling a little unwilling.
This is what it feels like to be rejected...
What should I say next?
Ask him if he can still be friends?
But I clearly felt that Li Xiao was very kind to me.
The two people once had some inadvertent ambiguities.
Is it all an illusion?
She blinked, suddenly determined.
"May I know why?"
Cai Xiaotang suddenly continued to ask.
Li Xiao was stunned when he heard this and looked at her in surprise.
Why?
Why is she so persistent?
The air became quiet again. Li Xiao looked at her stubborn face and an excuse suddenly appeared in his mind.
However, Cai Xiaotang got drunk and continued: "I...I don't know when I fell in love with you. At first, I obviously didn't like you, but after getting along for a long time, I suddenly felt...you This person is not bad. Maybe you think today's confession is a bit sudden. I was not sure whether I really fell in love with you before, but after I was kidnapped that day, I really thought I was going to die. I was blocked at that time. As I spoke, I was thinking, if I could speak, I would definitely confess to you and make everything clear about my feelings for you..."
Cai Xiaotang spoke a long paragraph in one breath, panting slightly due to nervousness.
"Little sugar..."
"Just hear me out."
Cai Xiaotang interrupted him, calmed down, and then continued: "I don't know if it's my imagination. You seem to be avoiding me intentionally or unintentionally during this time. If I cause you trouble, I apologize to you. All I want to know now is whether you haven’t thought it through, or whether you really don’t care about me at all..."
Cai Xiaotang suddenly stopped and looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
Li Xiao closed his eyes and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
As early as Cai Xiaotang said the first word, his heart started beating crazily.
A certain emotion that had been dormant for a long time seemed to be suddenly activated.
It's just... that kind of emotion is destined to be suppressed and return to silence.
"I……"
Li Xiao suddenly spoke.
Cai Xiaotang's heart also tightened.
The next second——
"I have a favorite person."
Li Xiao calmly uttered seven words.
Cai Xiaotang was stunned.
"What did you say?"
She asked again in disbelief.
"I said, I have someone I like, so I'm sorry."
Li Xiao repeated it calmly, but the hand hanging on the edge of the chair clenched unconsciously.
Seeing Cai Xiaotang's stunned expression, he made up his mind and continued: "I am a person who usually talks carelessly. If it caused you any misunderstanding, I'm sorry. I will pay attention to it in the future..."
"Who needs your apology?"
Cai Xiaotang was still a little dazed at first, but after hearing his last few words, she suddenly became angry and felt a little aggrieved.
Why?
Why can he make some misunderstood jokes without restraint even though he clearly has someone he likes?
And then apologize frankly after disturbing other people's thoughts?
What about her?
Do you deserve to be fooled?
