Chapter 315 Expressing One's Feelings
Hua Lan looked out the window at the overcast sky; it was already evening.
She slept for so long.
On Sunday afternoon, I woke up from a nap and didn't have to rush to catch the subway to work or go to class.
After a good night's sleep, Hua Lan was in an exceptionally good mood.
only......
Who is Chu Xiao talking to?
Should she go out and take a look?
Is someone going to introduce him to a potential blind date?
Chu Xiao is in his thirties and still unmarried, which is indeed worrying.
But why the rush?
Chu Xiao was the one who got married, and Chu Xiao is also the one who lives the life together.
If Chu Xiao doesn't want to, then he doesn't want to. Why make Chu Xiao angry?
Thinking of this, Hua Lan didn't care who the other party was. If Chu Xiao was angry, she couldn't just sit idly by.
Hua Lan lifted the covers and got out of bed.
When they came out, they found that Chu Xiao was the only one in the living room.
He was wearing his military training uniform and doing sit-ups on a mat.
He lay flat on his slender body, his training uniform clinging to his skin, outlining the lines of his abdominal muscles and a bulge in his lower abdomen.
Hua Lan's face instantly burned, turning as red as the sunset.
Wow, those legs are so long!
It's incredible that someone's Achilles tendon is so straight and strong!
Leg hair is so sexy!
Chu Xiao sat up and met her burning gaze, even sensing danger for a moment.
If he had been wearing any less clothing, Hua Lan would have pounced on him.
Hua Lan, who was completely infatuated, stood there stunned, her eyes overflowing with love.
She didn't even know when Chu Xiao arrived.
"Ouch, it hurts."
A sharp pain shot through her forehead. Hua Lan, her eyes red, clutched her forehead and accused Chu Xiao of violence.
"You're really heavy-handed."
"I was acting in self-defense."
Self-defense!
Do you want to hear what you have to say?
Hua Lan was not convinced.
Chu Xiao has trained in combat and grappling; he's just bullying people.
"I can beat you!"
"Hmph!" Chu Xiao snorted coldly, "The way you look at me, you wish you could devour me whole."
When Chu Xiao spoke his mind, Hua Lan became embarrassed, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Is she that obvious?
"Go and start cooking the rice. I'll take a shower and then clean the fish. It's time to prepare dinner."
Only after Chu Xiao spoke did Hua Lan shift her attention.
With something to do, she forgot about the slight shame in her heart.
The rice was cooked, Chu Xiao made grilled fish slices, and Hua Lan made cabbage and tofu soup and salt-fried pork.
After a flurry of activity, steaming hot food was served.
A simple meal, just enough for two people.
I'd rather eat less at dinner than leave leftovers in the refrigerator.
Chu Xiao and Hua Lan sat under the orange light, which made the food look warm and inviting.
Fish slices skewered on thin iron skewers emitted a fragrant aroma.
The fish fillets on the plate were so tempting that Hua Lan stared at them intently, swallowing hard without a care for her image.
Chu Xiao saw her adorable, greedy look and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
He unscrewed a bottle of cola, poured it into a glass, and placed it in front of Hua Lan.
"Let's eat."
Perhaps the delicious food was too tempting, and Hualan became unrestrained.
When she was about half full, she asked Chu Xiao curiously.
"Didn't you even consider the possibility of me becoming your girlfriend?"
She had spent the whole day with Chu Xiao, and her mood fluctuated wildly, depending entirely on Chu Xiao's words and actions.
She had seen Xiaoyue and her husband being affectionate, and their relationship was just like Chu Xiao's towards her.
But why is it that sometimes what Chu Xiao says is different from what he does?
Chu Xiao's duplicity caused her great distress.
Upon hearing her question, Chu Xiao couldn't help but recall the scene from that morning.
She stood in the entryway, looking cautious and anxious, as if she had been caught red-handed.
"Is the answer important to you?" Chu Xiao asked seriously.
Hua Lan tilted her head, deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, she said with certainty, "Important."
"If our relationship will not be one of boyfriend and girlfriend or marriage in the future, I should keep my distance from you."
keep distance.
Chu Xiao's breath caught in his throat, and a sudden emptiness filled his heart, as if something important was about to be stripped away.
A voice inside him screamed: No, Hua Lan can't leave him, and he can't leave Hua Lan either.
But his expression remained indifferent, showing nothing; he was used to hiding his true emotions.
Hua Lan has a small mouth that keeps chattering away.
"If your wife finds out about me after you get married, that I spend your money, live in your house, and eat with you, she'll feel uncomfortable knowing we're not related by blood."
"If she's unhappy, you'll have a hard time. I don't want us to have an ambiguous relationship."
As Hua Lan spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
She didn't want to cry, and she didn't want Chu Xiao to think that all she could do was cry when things went wrong.
But for some reason, she just couldn't control herself.
"You know, I like you, I depend on you, I can't live without you."
"But I can't let myself continue like this."
"Of course, I would be very happy if you like me too. No matter what you have to face, I will stand with you."
Xiaoyue once said that when two people who are in love are together, even the biggest difficulties become less difficult.
It's always better for two people to suffer together than for one to suffer alone.
"Although I am not smart, I can cook and clean, and I can keep the house spotless."
"Moreover, I'm studying medicine, so even if I have children in the future and they get sick, I can take good care of them on my own."
"If you marry me, I can take care of all the logistical support, and you can just focus on your work."
Hua Lan listed a whole host of benefits of marrying her, which was truly a shameless self-promotion.
Seeing her both crying and laughing, Chu Xiao felt a pang of unease.
He had an urge to hold Hua Lan in his arms, but he suppressed it with his strong willpower.
He was rational; he couldn't give Hua Lan the wrong signal, much less put her in danger.
but……
There is no danger now.
Huang Xiu'e and Chu Ci were not doing well, so they had no time to deal with Hua Lan.
No one except Fu Shengyang and Ji Yubai knew where he lived.
With the crisis mostly resolved, it was time for Hua Lan to have an identity so that she could come and go freely in his house openly and legitimately.
He should be happy that Hua Lan is so brave.
He knew what she was thinking.
Since it was already destined, and the timing was right.
Then tell her.
Hua Lan has liked someone for so long; she should know that she's not alone.
When it came time to finally express his feelings, Chu Xiao felt an unprecedented tension.
I was more nervous than when I first jumped out of a plane, threw a grenade, or fired a gun.
Chu Xiao licked his dry lips. "I like you. I like you."
like.
Hua Lan's face gradually relaxed, and a radiant light of joy shone in her almond-shaped eyes.
She seemed to hear the joy of the seeds breaking through the soil and see the fleeting beauty of the night-blooming cereus.
Chu Xiao likes her.
She wasn't in a one-sided love relationship.
"So, are you willing to date me as my girlfriend now?"
After asking the question, Chu Xiao felt his hands, which were pressed against his thighs, break out in waves of sweat, and even his fingers felt numb.
