No one would take notice anyway. After all, few were able to keep themselves from screaming while bungee jumping.
After some time, the screams subsided. Perhaps she was tired of screaming.
After ten minutes, there was nothing but silence.
Luo Sang started to feel fearful, she remembered how on the television, she had heard of people being scared to their deaths while bungee jumping.
Nian Junting however was calm. He returned to the car to retrieve a flask of warm water for Luo Sang, “It’s cold up here, have some warm water.”
Luo Sang wanted to faint, she was in no mood to drink water now. “Will she… be in danger?”
“Nope. Haven’t you heard? Sc.u.m live long lives.” Nian Junting replied nonchalantly, “Sc.u.m like her could probably live on for several decades even if paralyzed.”
Luo Sang, “…”.
How vicious.
“Mr. Nian, Miss Ye has fainted,” Lu Kang walked over, “Should we continue?”
“How lame, she fainted so quickly,” Nian Junting ma.s.saged Luo Sang’s shoulders, “Forget it, there’s no point if she’s unconscious. Let’s call it a day, the winds up here are strong.”
“Mm,” Luo Sang glanced at the unconscious Ye Chuen and thought to herself, if she was the one bungee jumping today, she would have fainted as well, after all as ladies, only a few would not be afraid of bungee jumping, not to mention swinging back and forth for so long.
On the road back to the city, Luo Sang looked at the handsome silhouette of the man focused on driving the car. She could not help but reached out for his elbow, saying gently, “Junting, thank you. Ever since my Dad was imprisoned, I’ve always suffered in silence and endured, it’s been long since someone has been so good to me, and it’s been long since I’ve felt as carefree as today.”
Nian Junting turned to glance at her, he thought of what Xiao Si said before, that she had been bullied endlessly in An City. He thought of how she was forced to abandon her home and his heart ached. “No matter, from today onwards, you will not need to suffer in silence again. You will do whatever you want to do. With me behind you, I’ll deal with any rotten apple in your way. There’s just one thing – do not learn from Ye Chuen, you should only bully those who deserve it.”
“What kind of person do you think I am?” Luo Sang gave him a peck on his cheeks, saying gently again, “Thank you, I really really like you.”
When she first decided to be with him, it was infatuation.
However, this time after her incident, he found out all about her, but instead of abandoning her and looking down upon her like others would, he still protected her and retaliated against whoever tried to bully her.
He had used her ways to regain her own dignity.
Even though he had some ridiculous characteristics of his own and had some weird quirks which compelled her to give him a good beating, she had slowly and unknowingly become deeply moved by him and had grown to like him even more.
Nian Junting’s hand trembled on the steering wheel, his face turning ever so slightly red. He reached out with his other hand to hold her, “No fooling around when I’m driving, it’s not safe. Why do you say you like me? I want to hear you say that you love me.”
He would not accept ‘like’, because it was ‘love’ that she had for Yi Jingxi.
“Haven’t you heard the saying, to love is to like deeply,” Luo Sang withdrew her hand, looked down and fiddled with her fingers, saying shyly.
Nian Junting froze momentarily, mouthing the words over and over, “To love is to like deeply, to love is to like deeply…”
As he mouthed the words, he felt fireworks being set off in his heart.
It was an incomparable sweetness, bliss.
Never had the word ‘like’ sounded so beautiful, so lovely.
