Xiao Ling originally thought that his expression of love would not get any response. In his opinion, Jiang Jincheng was a person who was very reluctant to express his feelings. He was too mature and stable, and was no longer at the age of being desperately in love.

Maybe it was just as Jiang Jincheng said, he didn't plan to fall in love or get married at the beginning. Even if he wanted to get married, he would look for a docile woman from the Gu family instead of a girl.

Many times, Xiao Ling told Jiang Jincheng from the bottom of his heart how much he liked him, but he got no response. Up to now, Jiang Jincheng had never said he liked him more than three fingers, let alone loved him.

However, although Xiao Ling felt unsatisfied in this regard, he changed his mind. He finally caught up with Jiang Jincheng, and it seemed that there was nothing he was dissatisfied with in this life.

Jiang Jincheng is just that kind of person, he knows it, so he should be content.

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he rubbed Jiang Jincheng's cheek affectionately. He narrowed his eyes slightly but heard Jiang Jincheng reply in a low voice: "I like you, too."

Xiao Ling instantly grabbed Jiang Jincheng's sleeve, and his nose tip felt sore for some reason. Jiang Jincheng noticed Xiao Ling's emotional fluctuations and patted him on the back gently.

"I know I rarely say things like I like you and love you so much in front of you. It's too corny and clingy. I can't say it."

Jiang Jincheng held Xiao Ling in his arms, lowered his eyes and gently pressed his forehead against his. His voice was still low and steady, and no emotion could be heard.

"But as I just said, you are still young, you need passionate love, you have never been in love, your youth needs impulse."

"I'm past the age of impulsiveness, so it's actually a loss for you to be with me, because at my age I need a more peaceful and quiet life. I don't have the energy and enthusiasm to be as exciting as when I was young."

"But this is unfair to you, because you chose me, and the price you paid for being with me was missing out on the excitement that your peers had. You were exposed to the mundane daily necessities too early, which is not what you need at your age."

Jiang Jincheng sighed and pecked Xiao Ling's mouth lightly. He looked at Xiao Ling quietly, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"I said I wanted to make it up to you because I also know that I can't give you the love that other people of your age would have. Others of your age might date hand in hand on the street, watch movies in the cinema, and enjoy their youth in various karaoke bars."

"But you can't, because I don't have the energy to do these things, so you won't be able to feel these things."

"After a while, you will envy others, you will feel uncomfortable being with me, and you will slowly discover that there is a huge generation gap between us."

Jiang Jincheng stroked his face and said softly, "You don't feel it now because you haven't worn off the novelty yet. You don't have to tell me that you don't feel fresh about me. Everyone feels fresh when they come into contact with new things."

"I believe in the relationship you've been in for so many years, and I don't mean to insult your devotion to me by saying this."

"On the contrary, I feel really guilty for not being able to give you these things. Because of me, you have to live a dull and boring life early on, and you can only watch others have passionate love affairs, and finally sigh and go home to continue to live with me."

"The simplest example is this: kids your age will be together every day when they are in love, and every three to five minutes they will say I like you, I love you, I can't live without you..."

"I can't say it, Xiao Ling, it's too corny and... too childish."

"How much love can be expressed in words... At my age, the way I express love is through life. I take care of you comfortably every day and indulge you in your coquettishness and temper. These are all expressions of love for you... But they are too restrained, and what you need is the most superficial and direct love that floats on the surface."

"So I choose to compensate for your lack of emotion in some aspects that I can still accept, such as occasionally saying I love you and like you. Of course, the frequency is still not as high as those young people, but I will try my best to say I like you in the most straightforward way within the range that I can accept."

"I also don't want you to envy others when you are with me, although I know it's inevitable that you will envy them, after all, I'm different from them."

"Xiao Ling, I can only use this method to reduce your emotional loss and make you not envy others so strongly."

"You've sacrificed enough for me. What you sacrificed when you were with me was the passionate impulse that should belong to your age, so I will try to be more impulsive for you."

This was the first time that Jiang Jincheng spoke so much to him in such a calm tone. Xiao Ling just looked at him in a daze, opening his mouth again and again but unable to utter a word.

"I will use my own way and add some of your young people's enthusiasm to express my love and affection for you. Although it's still not enough, I will try my best to make up for it."

Jiang Jincheng rubbed Xiao Ling's cheek with his rough palm. He laughed and rubbed his head again: "You just said that you thought I didn't want to be with you anymore? I don't have this idea, but I do think you are a little too noisy."

"I can't blame you for this, because I know that the way you express your love is to act like a spoiled child and make trouble for me. You are telling me that you like me by doing this to me."

"So I won't be angry, I will spoil you, but I really don't have the energy to cooperate with you."

"But just remember, I won't give up being with you just because you're making a fuss, and you don't have to think that we're too different to be together."

"Xiao Ling, many people say that when you're in a relationship, you should look for someone who is very similar to you, in terms of values, hobbies, topics of conversation, etc. They say that only if they are similar enough will the relationship last, but I don't think so."

"Being too similar isn't necessarily a good thing. In my opinion, complementary personalities are what will last long."

Jiang Jincheng lowered his eyes and said softly, "You are impulsive, passionate, and enthusiastic. I am mature, steady, and know how to distinguish right from wrong."

"Xiao Ling, if two people are very similar, there will actually be great hidden dangers in their love, because love is the result of two people tolerating each other, just like I tolerate your naivety."

"If two people are similar in everything, then there will be a problem. For example, if you and your partner both like to eat shrimp and no one likes to eat cilantro, then one of you will always eat more and the other will eat less. But the one who eats less will feel uncomfortable because shrimp is also his favorite food. Why does the other person always eat more?"

"And neither of you like cilantro, so who's going to take care of that plate of cilantro? No one's going to be willing to do it."

"When the same problem arises, your views, opinions, ideas, and even mistakes are exactly the same, so how do you find a solution? When you encounter difficulties, you are impulsive and your partner is also impulsive, so how do you solve this problem?"

"But if we were together, it would be different. If you didn't like cilantro, I would help you finish it. If you liked shrimp, I would give them all to you. If you couldn't solve a problem due to your impulse, I could solve it with my composure and calmness."

"So Xiao Ling, don't think that we are too different and doubt whether it is right for us to be together."

Jiang Jincheng leaned over and gently pressed his lips against Xiao Ling's, rubbing them bit by bit and then prying them open awkwardly.

"Our complementary personalities mean that we can stay together forever. As long as you are willing and don't regret it, I will always treat you well."

"Xiao Ling, last time I said I liked you was just to spoil you and make you obedient. Since it's not formal enough, I can say it again."

Jiang Jincheng held his cheek and said solemnly: "Xiao Ling..."

"I, Jiang Jincheng, love you very much."
