Chapter 454: Chapter 454 April Fool’s Day Isn’t Fooling Anyone 2
Xiao Xichen’s handsome face was filled with disbelief, his chest heaving, his heart pounding like never before.
Thump, thump!
Loud and powerful, beat after beat.
Youran just confessed to him...
Youran said... I like you...
It felt as if a beggar had just won a five-million-dollar lottery; Xiao Xichen’s "young man’s heart" was rippling with excitement!
Yiing yiing yiing!
QAQ!!
He impulsively grabbed Cheng Youran’s wrist, his speech excited and disordered, "Youran, you, I... we... ah!"
Everyone in the classroom was dumbfounded, watching the two of them. Xiao Xichen didn’t want to be gawked at like a monkey, so he dragged Cheng Youran and bolted out of the classroom.
"Hahaha, Xiao Xichen didn’t really fall for it, did he?"
"Today is April Fool’s Day!"
Ning Xixi pulled out her phone to check and—gosh, indeed, today was April 1st, getting her all excited for nothing!
As for the surprise Ji Yebai mentioned, it was probably a trick, too?
Boohoo... She had been looking forward to it for nothing.
...
The sports field.
The morning sports field, empty with no classes taking place.
Golden sunshine showered the earth, blue skies and white clouds, and from time to time, a gentle breeze would stir, swirling the falling sakura petals.
Beautiful as a painting.
Xiao Xichen held Cheng Youran’s hands, "I like you too!"
"Hahaha, I was just kidding!" Cheng Youran stuck her tongue out at him, "Happy April Fool’s Day! Xiao Xichen!"
In that instant, Xiao Xichen felt as if his heart had plummeted from Mount Everest to the deepest sea.
His full heart of joy turned into transient bubbles, bursting upon touch.
He even kept a smile frozen on his face, stiff, as if petrified.
After pinching his thigh hard, he regained his voice and played along, "Hahaha, I was just kidding too!"
The two looked at each other and shared a devilish "hahaha".
"If you knew I was joking, why’d you drag me out to the sports field?" Cheng Youran stretched lazily, "We still have to go back to the classroom, it’s so tiring..."
Xiao Xichen’s eyes darkened, and with a forceful move, he pushed Cheng Youran against a sakura tree behind them, holding her shoulders firmly.
Cheng Youran, puzzled, asked, "Eh? What’s up?"
"Cheng Youran, I like you, I really really like you, like wanting to marry you kind of like you!" Xiao Xichen’s eyes hid a deep sorrow, but on the surface, he joked around, giving off a frivolous vibe.
Cheng Youran thought so too, giving him a disdainful look, "Aren’t you done playing?"
"Haha, I think this kind of play is fun." Xiao Xichen said nonchalantly, "I’m going to use this trick on the girls who have a crush on me~"
A gentle breeze blew, a sakura petal landed in his black hair, the handsome and refreshing smile revealed his neat white teeth, looking as picturesque as a TV drama.
He leaned in close to Cheng Youran’s face, startling her into shrinking back, thinking he was going to kiss her.
Xiao Xichen pulled a face, rather annoyingly said, "You wouldn’t think I was going to kiss you, right? You wish, I don’t make moves on friends!"
Cheng Youran nodded, still dazed, "Let’s go back to class, it’s time."
"Mhm."
Cheng Youran walked ahead, Xiao Xichen silently followed behind, the smile completely gone from his face, mockingly thinking that his acting just now was truly excellent; the Oscars owed him a Gold Statue!
The most sincere confession on this most absurd of days turned out to be—nothing but fooling oneself and others.
