Chapter 1943: Forgiving You This Once

~7 min read 1,378 words

Hesitating for a moment, Wei Yangyang finally spoke: "Um, thank you for yesterday, for saving my life. I also want to apologize to you for my terrible attitude."

Li Xingyan gave a light huff and said: "No need to apologize, I've already experienced your heartlessness long ago anyway."

Sigh, another person saying she is heartless.

She isn't that bad, is she!

Wei Yangyang silently lamented in her heart.

Then, on the surface, she still had to maintain a smile: "Regardless of anything else, I am sincerely grateful to you; otherwise, with my small frame, I would surely have been smashed back to the Hospital."

Li Xingyan lowered his eyes and asked in return: "Since it was so dangerous, why didn't you notice it at all?"

"Because at the time... it was too chaotic, and that shelf was especially heavy, so I could only focus all my heart and soul on holding it up."

"Your body hasn't recovered yet, so it must have been very strenuous to go and help. Then why did you still go? Is it because... you were worried about Yi Xiang?"

"That is one aspect."

Wei Yangyang had only said half of her sentence when she felt it get a bit cold around her.

She rubbed her arms and muttered: "Was a window opened?"

As she spoke, she looked toward the window.

It wasn't open either...

How strange.

Wei Yangyang changed her sitting posture and continued: "At the time, I was the closest to Yi Xiang, so I certainly couldn't just stand by and watch him die. This is the same as you helping me..."

"That is not the same!"

Li Xingyan suddenly interrupted Wei Yangyang.

His attitude could be described as rough.

Wei Yangyang was startled and immediately shrank her neck.

Her heart was beating very fast, and she even wanted to hide herself like an ostrich.

But thinking of the task she had on her...

Wei Yangyang gathered her courage again and said: "Don't get angry while eating."

"I am not angry!"

Hmm, he just wanted to kill someone, that's all.

Wei Yangyang thought to herself that coaxing Li Xingyan was just too difficult.

She never knew which sentence might make him lose his temper.

Wei Yangyang sighed inwardly.

Afterwards, she went along with Li Xingyan and said: "I am indeed different from you; I am so weak, yet I still forced myself to step forward—it was too irrational. Unlike you, who are wise and martial, with extraordinary skill!"

This was flattery.

It might not necessarily be effective.

But when Wei Yangyang noticed Li Xingyan's expression softening...

She realized that the flattery was effective!

Since that was the case...

Wei Yangyang continued to apply the flattery: "It's just a pity that I didn't have eyes in the back of my head at the time, otherwise I definitely would have enjoyed the scene of a hero saving a beauty!"

"A hero saving a beauty?"

Li Xingyan was skeptical about this statement.

He even slanted a look at Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang straightened her body, looking earnest: "You shouldn't be unconfident about your hero status; you can do it!"

Li Xingyan was certainly confident.

The problem was... Wei Yangyang was overly confident.

Li Xingyan gave a light huff.

However, his whole person slowly relaxed, and then he continued eating breakfast.

Wei Yangyang was very good at reading the room.

Discovering that Li Xingyan was about to spread jam on his bread, she passed the jam over.

Discovering that he was about to drink milk, she pushed the cup forward a bit.

Discovering that Li Xingyan looked over... she just smiled.

Very well-behaved.

Li Xingyan withdrew his gaze and said thoughtfully: "You're quite experienced. Have you taken care of anyone like this before?"

Hmm...

Wei Yangyang recalled for a moment and replied: "When Jin Dou was still a puppy, I fed it milk."

Hearing this, Li Xingyan, who was holding the milk, didn't know whether to drink it or not.

Finally, he put down the cup and slanted a look over.

At first, Wei Yangyang didn't understand why.

But after a little association...

She gave a sheepish smile.

Li Xingyan didn't smile; he said with a serious face: "Don't play dumb with me, I meant taking care of a person!"

"Ah, then you are the first! You are also the first person I've helped get dressed!"

Wei Yangyang's latter sentence made Li Xingyan shift his gaze away.

Then he gave a light cough and said: "That was a misunderstanding."

"But I'm dressed quite well, aren't I?"

"It'll do."

Li Xingyan's tone softened.

But after a moment, he took the initiative to bring up someone he didn't like very much: "Is Yi Xiang alright?"

"Mm."

"Then... do you like Yi Xiang?"

This question was a thorn in the bottom of Li Xingyan's heart.

He didn't even know what he would do if Wei Yangyang gave an affirmative answer.

In a moment of daze, Wei Yangyang opened her mouth...

"I don't like him."

Wei Yangyang denied it very decisively.

Without a shred of hesitation.

Such an answer and attitude made Li Xingyan involuntarily relax a little.

But he didn't completely let his guard down and continued to ask: "Then why did you lose your composure the moment you saw him get hurt?"

What else could it be? Because she was a kind-hearted person.

Seeing a friend get hurt in front of her, she would naturally be thrown into a panic.

But Wei Yangyang discovered a pattern.

As long as she steered the topic to Li Xingyan and then praised him in various ways, Li Xingyan would be happy.

So, Wei Yangyang pondered for a moment and changed her approach: "It's not just him; if I saw you get hurt, I could cry! It's just a pity that I didn't have eyes in the back of my head at the time and overlooked you, sigh!"

Wei Yangyang sighed deeply, then prepared to make a transition to praise Li Xingyan.

But Li Xingyan spoke first: "In other words, between him and me, you would choose me?"

These words...

Why did they sound so awkward?

Because it was awkward, Wei Yangyang didn't speak for a moment.

And her silence made Li Xingyan knit his brows, and he urged her as soon as he opened his mouth: "Wei Yangyang, answer me!"

"I choose you!"

Wei Yangyang didn't have time to think too much and could only blurt out the answer by instinct.

This answer made Li Xingyan's expression visibly relax.

But immediately after, he felt that he was very childish.

Wei Yangyang also felt that he was very childish.

But she didn't have the guts to say it, so she could only ask with a good temper: "Can you forgive me for what happened yesterday?"

"Why must I forgive you?"

"Because my conscience is not yet dead."

Li Xingyan had thought Wei Yangyang would obediently say something he loved to hear.

As a result...

Li Xingyan raised an eyebrow and asked: "Did you say that backwards?"

Actually, it really wasn't.

If it weren't for the fact that her conscience wasn't dead, Wei Yangyang wouldn't care about Li Xingyan's mood at all.

Anyway, she had nothing to lose.

Right now, she was pulling out all the stops to coax this man into a good mood.

She only hoped that both sides could laugh off their grievances.

This was truly tiring.

Wei Yangyang breathed lightly.

Then, she said with a sincere attitude: "I am a person who still has a sense of right and wrong. If I do something wrong, I must apologize. If others don't forgive me, it feels like there's a big stone in my heart."

As Wei Yangyang spoke, she raised her hand and patted her chest lightly.

Li Xingyan followed her movement and looked over.

His gaze deepened a little, and then he asked: "If I forgive you, will you feel very relieved?"

"Yes."

"Then I..."

Wei Yangyang felt there was a chance and hurriedly stared at Li Xingyan without blinking.

"Will forgive you just this once."

This answer made Wei Yangyang feel a huge sense of relief!!

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
