Chapter 1434: An Unusual Confession

"If I say it, you have to promise not to get angry," Sheng Zichen began, laying the groundwork.

"Mm, I won't get angry."

She wore a smile, her small face flushed.

Even though the weather was no longer that hot, fine beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead; she was very nervous.

Her Spring Shoes kept kicking the stone slab in front of her, waiting for Zichen to confess to her!

However, Zichen said, "I've already investigated the person who tried to hit you that day. His name is Qiao An, and the person sitting in the passenger seat was Lu Feifei..."

"What?"

Gu Yuxin's face turned even redder, but this time it was from anger.

"Rotten peach blossom, scumbag, why are you only saying this now? I'll beat you to death!"

Gu Yuxin raised her hand to strike, but she was too impatient, and the hand she used to hit was her injured one.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

She started to cry, tears falling down in a rush.

Zichen panicked.

"Don't cry, I apologize to you, I was wrong, will you stop crying?"

"Wrong where?"

"I don't know."

Gu Yuxin:...

Sheng Zichen really didn't know; if he had provoked Lu Feifei, it was only that one time, the time he wrote a "love letter" in his second year of high school.

Just that one time, and the price paid was too high.

Gu Yuxin wiped away her tears and said to Zichen, "Fine, I know this matter isn't your fault; it's all because that Lu Feifei is narrow-minded and has a vicious heart. Now I'm asking you, are you willing to be my boyfriend?"

Sheng Zichen: "Huh?"

He hadn't reacted in time.

Where did that come from?

This woman was gnashing her teeth, looking like she wanted to eat someone, so how did she start by asking him to be her boyfriend?

He felt there was a conspiracy and didn't dare to agree.

He was also used to being bullied, so he habitually didn't think in that direction.

"Huh what? I like you, I want to be your girlfriend, not pretending, a real girlfriend. Just tell me if you agree or not," Gu Yuxin confessed.

"Don't mess around."

Zichen gave a sheepish smile, his expression full of wariness.

"If you don't agree, then forget it. I'll go tell Lu Feifei that I have nothing to do with you, and let her pursue you boldly and confidently. Don't take it out on me."

"Don't, don't do that."

Zichen hurriedly blocked her path.

If this woman said she would do it, she definitely would; he absolutely could not let her go.

He already had a headache dealing with one; if another one came along, it would be the death of him!

"Move aside."

"I won't."

"Student Sheng Zichen, please move aside. Don't let other female students who admire you see us together and hit me again. I don't have such good luck that someone can stop it every time."

"Can you not be so sharp and mean when you talk?"

"I can't! Even if I'm sharp and mean, it's better than having a vicious heart..."

Gu Yuxin activated battle mode, and Sheng Zichen had absolutely no ability to parry.

But she was very different today from her usual self.

Usually, when Gu Yuxin bickered with him, she was high-spirited, with eyes that sparkled.

But today, her eyes were filled with tears, carrying the look of a young woman's indignation!

Sheng Zichen had never seen her like this and was somewhat at a loss.

Admitting fault didn't work.

Not admitting fault was even worse.

Zichen was usually very sharp, but now he was extremely dull, completely without a strategy, and could only say, "Stop crying, whatever you want, just say it, okay?"

"No."

"Do you like me or not? Tell the truth," Gu Yuxin laid her cards on the table.

"I don't know."

That was the answer.

Gu Yuxin glared at him fiercely and turned to leave.

"I don't know," in her heart, meant "I don't like you."

Gu Yuxin walked along, secretly cursing in her heart; like is like, don't like is don't like, what kind of answer is "I don't know"?

Sheng Zichen was just a scumbag; answering "I don't know" was just wanting to keep things ambiguous and give himself hope.

No wonder a young girl like Lu Feifei would pester him so relentlessly; it must be that he used these same tactics to make her remain so infatuated...

As Gu Yuxin thought about it, she blamed all the faults on Sheng Zichen.

She didn't even want to pursue the culprit, Lu Feifei, and only hated Sheng Zichen!

Zichen returned to the dormitory listlessly, and without even washing up, he collapsed onto his bed and covered his head with the quilt.

There was no one in the dormitory; the roommates had all gone out.

The dormitory was very quiet, especially suitable for thinking quietly alone.

But his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything.

In fact, what he said just now was not what he truly felt.

When Gu Yuxin asked him if he liked her, his heart had been leaping with joy at that moment.

What does it feel like to like a girl?

He felt that it was like how his father liked his mother; that was what you called liking someone.

Whatever his mother said was right, his father would unconditionally obey, and the way his father looked at his mother was always different from how he looked at others, filled with doting affection.

Although his mother would not obey his father in everything, their eyes always carried appreciation and love for each other.

That was not the case between him and Gu Yuxin.

The two of them would argue the moment they met; Gu Yuxin was like a fighting cock, full of fighting spirit whenever she saw him, and he was the same, just wanting to bicker with her.

There were some things that he clearly believed Gu Yuxin was right about, yet he would deliberately find a different viewpoint to anger her.

Does this count as liking?

If compared to his parents' love, it certainly does not.

But if one were to say he didn't like her, why did his heart beat faster and his heart feel joyful just now?

Sheng Zichen answered "I don't know," and he truly did not know.

……

The next day.

He went to find Lu Feifei.

"Feifei, someone is looking for you outside."

"I'm not seeing them."

She sat blankly on her chair; for the past few days, she had been like this, listless.

When her roommate said someone was looking for her outside, she naturally assumed it was Young Master Qiao.

What was that bastard still coming to find her for?

Hadn't they already settled things between them?

"It's a very handsome guy, oh, what was his name again... oh, Sheng Zichen."

"Zichen?"

Lu Feifei immediately perked up and ran out wearing her Spring Shoes.

She had just run to the door when she came back; no, she couldn't go see him looking like this.

She begged the roommate who had just told her: "Xiaorong, you're the best, please go down and tell him to wait for me for a moment, I'll be down in a little while."

"Alright."

Xiaorong went out to relay the message.

Xiao Qian said sarcastically: "Yo, so it's the person at the heart of our Miss Lu's affections who has arrived; the treatment is just different from everyone else's."

Lu Feifei pretended not to hear her and ignored her.

The two of them had originally been very close, but they had a falling out a few days ago when Lu Feifei returned from a date with Young Master Qiao.

Lu Feifei called Xiao Qian a pimp, and Xiao Qian called her a hypocrite, asking who she was trying to impress by acting like a chaste and virtuous woman after having taken all the benefits for herself.

Shameless.

Her hair hadn't been washed in days; could she go out to see people looking so greasy?

If it were seeing someone else, it might be fine, but it wouldn't do for seeing Sheng Zichen.

She rushed into the bathroom, showered and washed her hair, and then borrowed Xiaorong's hairdryer to dry her hair.

After fixing her hair, she put on makeup; she wasn't satisfied with the first attempt, so she wiped it off and did it again!

Her roommate reminded her: "The handsome guy has already been waiting outside for an hour; I see he is already very impatient, if you don't go out now, he might leave."
