Chapter 880: Only Needed One Chance. I Could Help You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Xue was completely unprepared for this sudden confession. She forgot to chew for a moment.
“We will be seniors next year. Most of the time we will only be in school or doing intern. There’s plenty of time.”
Ye Xue looked up at him, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Yizuo felt the sweat in his palms, which made him even more nervous. After the confession, it would be difficult for him to continue to be friends with Ye Xue again.
This was often the case between friends. They did not dare to confess because they were afraid that they could not even be friends afterward.
However, if he did not confess, he also did not want to just reconcile to just being a friend.
Confessing was between just a thought, but liking was an endless process.
Facing Ye Xue’s silence, he continued, “I know that I am not outstanding in all aspects, but I will try hard. Can you give me a chance?”
“… I…” Ye Xue opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word. She held the chopsticks tightly in her hand.
She had been friends with Zhou Yizuo for three years and he was always a good friend. She was relaxed and at ease.
Zhou Yizuo took very good care of her. If someone bullied her, he would also stand up for her.
If someone chased after her, he would also help to stop the hara.s.sment.
On rainy days, he would send her an umbrella.
When it was dark and she would go back too late, he would be worried and come out to look for her.
In winter, he would remind her to wear a scarf and gloves. He would also drag her to eat hotpot.
She had had a vague feeling that Zhou Yizuo might have some feelings for her. However, she did not know that he had liked her for three years.
Three years. He had liked someone for three years, but he had not said anything. How many people could do that?
During these three years, many had wooed her and confessed to her many times. Many male students, after being rejected by her, either stuck around and gave up or turned around to chase someone else.
They would even show off their relationships in front of her.
However, she had liked Jiang Yu for seven years.
Zhou Yizuo had never been as nervous as he was today. The sweat on his palms did not stop either, especially Ye Xue’s silence seemed to have given out the answer.
He did not give up and asked her, “Then how do you feel about me? Do you have any good feelings for me?”
Ye Xue pursed her lips, “Zhou Yizuo, you’re a really good friend. You’re a good person. During these days of being around you, I’ve always been the one being taken care of. You’re also very attentive. You help me think of many things that I haven’t thought of. My cla.s.smates even envy me having a friend like you.”
Zhou Yizuo didn’t expect Ye Xue to think so highly of him. He was still very happy in his heart. At the very least, he was also so good in her heart.
He asked carefully, “Then, are you willing to give me a chance?”
Ye Xue gripped the chopsticks in her hand tightly, as if she was making a decision. Would she agree to him?
What about Jiang Yu?
She couldn’t deny that she was still thinking about him.
“You know that I dated Jiang Yu before. In the past two years, I’m not sure if I can move on.”
“It doesn’t matter. Didn’t you guys break up already? I can make you forget him completely. Everyone says that time is the best medicine. I also believe that I will help you forget him. Are you willing to give me this chance?”
Break up?
Yes, she and Jiang Yu had basically broken up.
She would still continue scrolling through her WeChat moments, wanting to see his movements.
She and Jiang Yu had no contact since that time. It was no different from a breakup.
Under Zhou Yizuo’s gaze, Ye Xue nodded.
Zhou Yizuo couldn’t believe his eyes. Ye Xue nodded. She nodded! Did that mean that she accepted his confession?
“Ye Xue, did you agree?” He asked carefully and nervously, afraid that he might be mistaken.
Ye Xue smiled, this is also giving herself a chance. She nodded. “Yes.”
“I, I am so happy.” Zhou Yizuo had never been so excited before. Besides being excited, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and jumped in front of Ye Xue.
Ye Xue raised her head and looked at him in a daze. She didn’t know what he wanted to do.
The next second, she was carried into Zhou Yizuo’s arms. Her body stiffened, and she didn’t know how to react.
“Ye Xue, do you know that every time I see your thin figure walking in the night, I want to hug you without any scruples. Seeing you walking in the cold wind on campus, I want to hold you in my arms and block the wind for you.”
Zhou Yizuo was too excited that he spoke incoherently, but he smiled very happily.
The feeling of being hugged by a warm embrace and being desired made Ye Xue a little absent-minded. It also made her a little lost.
“Ye Xue, I never thought that I would like someone so much. I like you. I love you.”
Zhou Yizuo’s hug was a little too intense. Ye Xue felt that she could not breathe. She patted his back.
“Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
“I’m too excited. Let’s continue eating.”
Zhou Yizuo let go of Ye Xue and scratched his hair awkwardly. Then, he walked to the table and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.
He looked up at Ye Xue from time to time and raised his eyebrows.
He suddenly asked, “Ye Xue, can we take a photo?”
“Huh?” Ye Xue looked at him in confusion.
Zhou Yizuo put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up his phone, and turned on the camera function. With his other hand, he held Ye Xue’s hand on the dining table. Then, he took a photo of his hand that was holding Ye Xue’s hand.
After taking the photo, Zhou Yizuo said happily, “I’ll post it on my WeChat moments.”
Ye Xue was stunned.
Zhou Yizuo added some words to the photo.
“The girl I like is also my high school cla.s.smate. She finally agreed to date me. I am so happy.”
After she reacted, Ye Xue picked up her phone and opened her WeChat moments. She saw Zhou Yizuo’s WeChat moments.
The photo was accompanied by some text.
It could be seen from between the lines that he was very happy.
It was not necessarily a bad thing to start a new relationship.
She thought for a while and forwarded Zhou Yizuo’s photo along with the words and a heart shape.
“Thank you for your company.”
After dinner, Zhou Yizuo went to wash the dishes. This was what he said. When Ye Xue cooked, he washed the dishes to divide the work.
Ye Xue walked to the sofa and saw a package on it. It looked a little familiar. Because she wouldn’t shop online very often, she recognized it was a similar package to what she received before.
She opened the package with a fruit knife. There was a paper box inside the package box.
She placed it on the gla.s.s coffee table and opened the box. She saw a bowl inside. It was a very familiar bowl made of bamboo and a pair of chopsticks.
She had received a similar bowl two years ago. It looked exactly the same.
She took the bowl and chopsticks and walked up to the room on the second floor. She opened the cabinet and took out the hidden bowl. Then, she placed it on the desk.
The two bowls were indeed the same. Even the color and size were about the same.
Who sent this? There wasn’t even an address?
“Ye Xue, what are you looking at?”
After Zhou Yizuo finished washing the dishes, he didn’t see Ye Xue. Instead, he saw the unwrapped paper box. So he knew that she must have returned to her room.
Ye Xue turned around and looked at Zhou Yizuo. She pointed at the two bowls on the desk and said in puzzlement, “I received another bowl.. I don’t know who sent it.”
