The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

The sound of fireworks exploding in the air was very loud, but in Shen Xiuhe's ears, it could not cover up the huge roar brought by the clear voice.

"You... figured it out?" His voice was a little dry, and in addition to shock and uneasiness in his eyes, there was also some hidden expectation. "Yes, I like you. From the first time we met, my heart was moved by you."

The moment his thoughts were seen through, his mind went blank. Without giving anything much thought, he just followed his heart and blurted out the confession that he had been hesitant and timid for so long.

The heavy stone pressing on my heart disappeared in an instant, but when I didn't hear her answer immediately, my heart was hanging in the air again.

He was a little apprehensive.

——He is nervous.

Yiqing could see it from those dark pupils.

You can also hear it in his voice.

Because at the moment he confessed, the fireworks had just burned out, and in the silence after the noise faded away, his slightly hoarse voice could be heard more clearly.

Yiqing hadn't looked away yet, and could see her own reflection in his pupils. She could also vaguely feel the surging and burning emotions that were leaking out from under his forbearance and restraint.

She felt a little surprised and a little curious - could liking someone be such a strong emotion?

Even if it's just a little bit, it's hard to ignore.

And she could sense that it was a very complex emotion.

She couldn't quite tell the difference, nor...could she resonate with it.

because--

She had never experienced heartbeat.

Even when she first guessed Shen Xiuhe's feelings, she imagined that being in love with such a handsome and talented man would be a novel and wonderful experience.

But when he really stood in front of her and confessed his love to her, she just couldn't say those casual words "you can give it a try".

She thought that such sincere and strong feelings should not be responded to lightly.

She was just in a whim, and even if she had the idea of ​​experiencing a relationship, it was just to satisfy her curiosity about the unknown, but the other party was obviously serious.

How disrespectful it would be to respond to seriousness with a joke!

Su Bai's fingertips trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes, rarely feeling a little ashamed of her previous thoughts.

After calming down, another more critical question came to her mind, which Yiqing could not ignore - she did not belong to this world and came here only because of the mission.

To her, this world is just a small scenery in her life.

From a rational point of view, since we know that it is short-lived, we should not leave any ties behind.

During the brief thought, Yiqing had already gone through all the pros and cons in her mind. In the end, she just smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Shen is a rare talent. I believe he will meet a better match for me in the future."

An obvious refusal.

Shen Xiuhe's heart suddenly sank.

He clenched his fingers, his voice a little dry, "Why do we have to wait until later? I think now is the time..."

"Mr. Shen." Yiqing interrupted him, the smile on her lips still not diminishing, but her words made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cave, "You are a smart person, my meaning is very clear, isn't it?"

Shen Xiuhe was completely frozen.

He knew that this matter could be rejected or accepted, but before he opened his mouth, he always felt that the chances of his success were quite high.

Thinking that I have good looks and abilities, and that we got along well before, and that we hit it off right away when we talked about business matters... Even if she doesn't like me, she should at least have some feelings for me, right?

Why did you refuse so decisively...

Shen Xiuhe was a man who had seen the ups and downs of life. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly calmed himself down. "It's a bit presumptuous to confess suddenly. But the heartbeat is uncontrollable, and liking someone is not an emotion that can be shamed. I like you, so I dare to let you know.

You may find it abrupt, but you don’t have to rush to reject me. At least give me a chance to pursue you, I…”

"I don't think it's necessary." Yiqing shook his head.

Interrupted again.

Was rejected again.

Shen Xiuhe gritted his teeth and refused to give up easily.

"I just want to show you my sincerity." He slowed down his speech and pronounced each word very clearly. "If I can't succeed after trying my best, I will accept it. But I can't accept being rejected without even trying!"

He didn't know that it was his serious attitude that made Yiqing more determined to refuse.

"This is all useless work. There's no need to waste your time on this." Yiqing advised again.

Shen Xiuhe looked at her, the determination in his eyes was not shaken by her repeated rejections, the love in his eyes was warm and stubborn, "No matter what the result is, I don't think this is a waste of time."

"Although it is your right to refuse, it is my right to like."

Their eyes met, as if in a silent duel.

In the end, it was Yiqing who showed weakness first and looked away first, "...Forget it, whatever you want, it won't work anyway."

Hearing her compromise, Shen Xiuhe smiled with a smile on his face.

Just like the frost and snow melted in an instant, the originally barren world was filled with grass and birds singing in an instant.
