Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Ge had never thought that a day when Ji Ziming would give her such an unforgettable confession, which was akin to those seen in movies, would come.
No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she had never thought that he would confess to her and he would tell her that he liked her.
Pound, pound! Her heart thumped fast. Although the icy touch on her lips and the heat in her mouth were telling her that this was no illusion, she still felt that she was living a dream and this was just a product of her imagination.
The snowflakes drifted from the sky, nonstop, giving the lights around them crystalline hue. The two embracing in the snow painted a beautiful scene.
After a long time, he finally released her with a longing look.
“Am I dreaming?” She stared at him dazedly as she panted.
He raised a brow at her. His voice seemed to be laced with amus.e.m.e.nt.
“What do you think?”
“I think that this entire situation is too unbelievable. H-How is it possible for you to like me? I feel that I’m truly dreaming! This is such a—” Beautiful dream.
Before she could finish her incoherent rambling, her mouth was silenced again by his lips.
The kiss, this time, was much fiercer than before. It made her truly feel that this was not a dream but reality, instead.
He truly confessed to me. He likes me.
As this thought crossed her mind, she had this urge to cry.
Hence, she did.
Deepening the kiss, Ji Ziming felt wet slide past the corner of his mouth, and he opened his eyes in shock, only to see Pei Ge crying with her eyes closed.
“Are you crying?”
He was elated at first when she neither pushed him away nor rejected him, but this sight made him freeze and turn cold instantly.
Why is this stupid woman crying? Is it that hard for her to accept me?
“Why are you crying? Do you dislike me that much?” His arms circled her shoulders tightly, as though he wanted to lock her to his body.
She opened her eyes and saw his frigid and grim face. He seemed to be fuming, and this inexplicably made her burst into laughter.
Instantly, she was smiling through tears.
“Pfft!” She looked at him, amused and happy. She somehow got it why she had only learned of his feelings for her at this point, as well as this annoying fellow could still not understand her feelings for him.
“D*mn you, stupid woman! What are you laughing at?!” Seeing her laugh out of the blue, he was filled with awkwardness. His brows knitted tightly as his ears turned red.
“Of course, I’m laughing at you. I just realized that you can actually be adorable.”
Regaining her senses, she took control of the situation at once and started teasing him.
She was laughing at how the two of them were clearly in love with each other, but because they were idiots about love, they thought that one did not like the other. In the end, they went through so much and went around in circles before they finally connected their hearts…
“… So, do you like me or not?” He pursed his lips, feeling awkward, and stiffly posed this question.
Although he was pretending to be calm, the anxiety in his eyes easily betrayed him.
“I—” She moved to give him a reply but was cut off once more by him.
“Forget it! Anyway, whether you like me or not, you can only have me. You can only be my girlfriend.”
He stared deeply at her and arrogantly proclaimed this.
She could no longer resist laughing aloud when she saw how arrogant he was acting to hide his fear.
“Ha ha ha! Ji Ziming, you’re so adorable! Really!”
“… Don’t laugh!”
He felt as though he had lost face when she laughed so amusedly.
“Ha ha! Although you said that you don’t want to hear my reply, I must still seriously and responsibly give you this answer.”
She raised her chin slightly and looked deeply and lovingly into his eyes with her clear and bright ones.
“I, Pei Ge, don’t like you.”
The moment she said that, Ji Ziming’s face darkened. Sorrow and indignance flashed past his eyes.
However, before he could react and let his emotions run wild, she opened her mouth again.
“Rather, I love you. Since a long, long time ago, I’ve been loving you.”
She softly, gently, and lovingly whispered this to him.
He was totally stunned at this. From great happiness and great sorrow to great happiness again, his emotions were like a rollercoaster ride as it flew and dipped without pause. The vast changes in his emotions made him unable to react momentarily.
Hence, his face showed an extremely adorable look.
Mhm! So dazed and blur that it’s cute.
She looked at him, whose dazed and euphoric eyes were on her, and her lips parted into a blissful smile.
“Stupid! I said: I love you! I! Love! You!”
Declaring that, she circled her arms around his neck and tiptoed to plant a kiss on his lips.
She now understood that, if one loved another, they must tell them boldly.
That was because the world was huge. One would meet countless people every day, but meeting the one for them seldom happened.
When one met this person, no matter the circ.u.mstances, they must muster up the courage to tell them that they loved them.
It was fine even if one failed. At least, they tried and fought for their love. In this way, they would not regret anything.
If she had thought of this earlier and confessed to him earlier, perhaps the two of them would have already been a couple a long time ago.
Her candid confession, coupled with the soft and warm touch of her lips, brought him back to his senses.
His arms embraced her tightly, and as though she were a child, he carried her up and made a turn.
“Stupid woman, I love you, too.
