Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Struck by a Poison, Named Beichen Rui!
"Beichen Rui, I like you... Do you know that? I really, really love you..."
Then, as his lips softened, he instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.
Ye Xinluo placed her hands against his chest, her mind in a muddled haze, completely lost in the moment for a long time.
This was the first time in her life she had confessed to a guy, and it just so happened to be caught right on the spot.
She wasn’t even sure if it was like or love... She only knew she was afflicted with a kind of poison named Beichen Rui!
...
After a long while, Beichen Rui pulled away from her lips, leaned against her ear, and softly breathed, "Actually, I like you too, the kind of like that means I really like you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinluo felt slightly dissatisfied, "Like?"
She recalled saying "I really, really love you" earlier. And yet, to him, it was just like? Did he really take her as a shadow?
Beichen Rui chuckled lightly, "It’s more like love... Is that okay now?"
"That answer seemed so reluctant," she continued after a while, "Didn’t you say you like your wife? Seems like your love isn’t all that..."
Beichen Rui didn’t answer, instead, he reached for his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened the contact list.
Watching his actions, Ye Xinluo asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
...Still no answer to her question, as he found a number, opened it, and dialed...
Hearing the "beep beep" from the phone, Ye Xinluo was taken aback... He was making a call at this moment? Does he have to ruin the mood like this?
Just as she was thinking this, the phone placed beside them started ringing.
"I’ve already fallen for you, longing to be together, but the gap between us, there’s such a big gap..."
...Who is calling me at this time? She picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID. She turned her head, confused, looking at the man in front of her, "You called me for..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Beichen Rui turn his phone around and held it out in front of her. Ye Xinluo clearly saw the screen on his phone.
The bold, two characters "Wife" stood out glaringly... She was completely stunned.
Beichen Rui called his wife... and a few seconds later her phone rang. Did this mean, the number marked as "wife" in his contacts was actually... her own?
She blinked, struggling to react for a moment. The phone’s ringtone persistently echoed in her ears, as if reminding her this was all real, not a dream.
Foolishly, she reached out a finger and pinched her own cheek hard.
The next second, with a painful hiss, she reluctantly let go of her face.
The call ended automatically, and she tossed the phone aside; in the darkness, Beichen Rui’s voice sounded, "Are you stupid? Is that how you pinch your own face?"
She snapped back to reality, "You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you? How is this possible?"
"Don’t believe it?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow, handed her the phone again, and said, "See for yourself if you don’t believe me."
Taking the phone, she entered the password, unlocked the screen, and opened the contact list.
After inspecting it carefully, she finally realized that there was an entry labeled "Jiang Shihan" and another labeled "Wife."
Opening it, she stared intently at the eleven digits, and suddenly realized... it really was her own number.
"Do you believe me now?" Beichen Rui asked.
