178. Chapter 178 Bored Anger 3

How do you know? Was it Lili who said that?

Shangguan Yun smiled, shook his head, and said, "It wasn't her; the gatekeeper told me. He said he saw your eyes red, with a trace of tears on your face. Did you burst into tears as soon as you turned around?"

"It's all your fault—who let you act fierce and yell at me in front of so many people?" I said, feeling wronged.

Shangguan Yun held me tighter. "When I heard from the gatekeeper that you were crying, I felt both heartache and joy. You'll surely say I have no conscience again, being happy that you cried. But I'm happy because I finally have a place in your heart—your tears for me show you've started to care about me." Shangguan Yun said, beaming.

Actually, he doesn't know—I've already started caring about him, though I'm not exactly sure when it began.

Actually, I've already started caring about you; I can't pinpoint when—maybe it was when you caught up to me at Lishui, or perhaps when Tingting hit you and you brought me home, or even earlier, from the night you kissed me." I said, looking up at the night sky lightly.

After hearing my words, Shangguan Yun was overjoyed and said, "Really? So I've already been in your heart this early?"

Hehe, I'm not really sure when you entered my heart or when I started caring about you, but does it matter?" I laughed, turned my head, and said to him.

Shangguan Yun shook his head and held me tighter. I know he might truly care about me—at least now he does; otherwise he couldn't show these expressions. Even if some of his words are false, his gaze, his demeanor, his expression can't lie.

"Don't you want others to know we're dating? Actually, the whole school probably already knows you've agreed to be my girlfriend—since the day I said I'd chase you, everyone's known I'm pursuing you, and they're sure I'll succeed."

Actually, Shangguan Yun is quite right.

Actually, I'm not afraid of others knowing; I just don't want to be pointed at and gossiped about, so...

"Silly, why would anyone point fingers at you? Don't overthink it. It won't happen—I want to be with you openly and honorably, to protect you openly and honorably, you know?" Shangguan Yun said, affectionately pinching my cheek.

I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you.

If you say that again, I'll really get angry." Shangguan Yun said, his face darkening.

All right, never mind—it's you who's not good enough for me." I began to say with a playful grin.

Then I'll work hard to become worthy of you.
