Chapter 355 - 354 I Love You Very Much
Ahhh, my heart is beating faster and faster.His low voice lingers in my ears, rich and deep, like an aged red wine.
Every word is thought-provoking.
So pleasant to listen to.
I can’t help it—I want to hear more...
"Are you really saying there’s no blonde girl? Then where exactly were you this afternoon?"
"The hospital."
Xiyan was startled. The breath she’d been holding in all evening was instantly released halfway. "Huh? What happened to you?"
"Not me." Ou Jue’s expression turned somewhat grim. "It was someone very important to me from the past."
After finishing, the Demon thoughtfully added two more words: "A man."
Is that how it is?
Could it be that Niannian got it wrong?
"Then, then, then, why was it Assistant Chen who answered when I called you? And you said you’d call me back after you were done. I waited forever."
"I came here in person. Why would I still need to call back?"
Uh... true, that does make sense.
Ou Jue gently pinched her chin, forcing Xiyan to meet his eyes. "Tell me, why does it feel unreal to you?"
"Huh?"
Ou Jue’s gaze narrowed dangerously. "What you just said."
Huh? What did I just say? I got so emotional I don’t even remember...
Thinking deeply for a moment, Xiyan looked down and fiddled with her fingers. "Probably something like... you treat others the same as you treat me, always with that stern face. Even with me, you’ve never said anything nice to me before."
"What kind of nice things do you want to hear?"
"Like, ’I like you,’ or ’I miss you,’ things like that."
The usually cold corners of Ou Jue’s mouth curved into a mesmerizing smile. He wrapped Xiyan in his arms and tilted his head down to look at her, lightly scratching her chin as though teasing a kitten. "Xia Xiyan, after all that talking, you’re just a little jealous wildcat."
"You’re the jealous one!"
"From the moment I stepped in, you’ve been bristling—what else could it be but jealousy?" Ou Jue seemed to be in a good mood; the sharp lines of his handsome face were noticeably softer than usual.
Admiring the little girl’s increasingly flushed cheeks, his voice became irresistibly seductive, carrying a deadly allure. "Admit you’re jealous, and I’ll satisfy you."
The Demon’s gaze blazed hotly.
Satisfy... what?
What is he even talking about, ahhhh.
Ou Jue, with his frosty and noble exterior, but deep down, so unbelievably... something else!
Xiyan covered her face with both hands, her cheeks burning red, "Who—who wants you to satisfy me? What nonsense are you spouting!"
Ou Jue chuckled lowly, wickedly charming. "Didn’t you want sweet words? I can satisfy you right now. Or, what did you think I meant by satisfying you?"
"..."
Daily Question: Did the Demon King trap me again today?
Answer: He did!
"Go to hell!" Xiyan grabbed a nearby pillow and hurled it at him, her heart racing uncontrollably.
Ou Jue easily dodged her attack with a suave tilt of his body. He then caught both of her small wrists, holding her in place.
Leaning down, his cool breath brushed her face.
Yet somehow, it carried an odd hint of playful rogueness. "There were several chances where I could’ve taken you, but I didn’t. Little fool, tell me why that is?"
Ou Jue placed his hands on the wall behind her, propping himself up.
His tall figure completely caged the girl within his embrace.
The combination of this posture and his outrageously handsome face was enough to make any girl’s heart explode.
Xiyan blinked, "Why?"
"Because..." Ou Jue’s thin lips moved closer to her ear, his voice hoarse. "I love you."
Liking is unrestrained.
But love... is restrained.
Xiyan: !
He’s actually admitting it outright?
Not "like."
But "love."
Deep love.
This was the first time Ou Jue had ever expressed his feelings for her so directly.
The last confession, he had said it was "like."
This time, it was "love."
Wuwu, why do I suddenly feel like crying?
She sniffled, gazing up at the boy in front of her with wide eyes. "I want to hear it again."
"I love you deeply."
"More~~"
Ou Jue’s dark eyes deepened slightly, his Adam’s apple moving up and down, his voice turning completely raspy. "I love you deeply."
"Say it again! This time I want to record it!"
"Dummy, don’t push your luck."
"Just one more time..." Xiyan nuzzled against his firm chest.
After all, hearing those words from this guy’s mouth was ridiculously rare.
Ou Jue didn’t answer again. Instead, he bent down and captured her lips.
After a lingering kiss, Ou Jue’s breathing was slightly erratic. He cradled Xiyan’s small head against his chest. "Never doubt my love for you."
Wuwu...
Xiyan was just starting to get emotional—
In the next second, his domineering voice rang out again. "If you ever doubt me again, I promise you won’t be able to get out of bed for three days."
Xiyan shivered, her budding tears retreating instantly. She muttered, "Hitting people is against the law."
Ou Jue stared at her speechlessly. "Xia Xiyan, why not just let yourself die of stupidity already?"
Whimper.
Even though he was scolding her, Xiyan still felt happy inside.
Because the knot in her heart had finally been untied.
Carrying Xiyan to the bed, Ou Jue said, "I’ll be very busy these next few days, but I’ll make time to visit you at night."
Both Ou Jue and Yin Qianze had officially graduated.
They didn’t need to go to school anymore.
Even though they were still in the same city, now they wouldn’t run into each other on campus, and the thought made her feel a bit empty inside.
Ou Jue glanced at the time. "Alright, get some sleep."
Like a little baby, Xiyan curled up under the thin blanket, grabbing the edges with her small hands. "What about you?"
"I’ll watch you sleep." Ou Jue sat on the edge of the bed, exuding an air of nobility.
Curious, Xiyan asked, "What’s there to watch? Isn’t that boring?"
"Mind your business and sleep!"
"Oh." Xiyan obediently closed her eyes, feeling sweet inside.
Ou Jue’s deep, dark gaze was fixed on the girl’s peaceful sleeping face.
How could it ever be boring?
He could watch her for a lifetime.
-
The next day.
The end-of-class bell rang.
"Ahhh, finally class is over!" Xiyan was the first to jump up. Grabbing An Ran’s hand, she shouted, "Quick, quick, I’m starving! If we’re late, we’ll have to wait in line."
The two girls sprinted toward the dining hall.
"Xiyan." A voice called out to them.
Turning her head, she saw Chi Niannian walking over in a nude-pink long dress, high heels clicking confidently beneath her. Her aura was utterly chic.
An Ran and Xiyan both looked surprised.
"Why are you at our school?"
"I’ve been worried about what happened yesterday," Chi Niannian walked closer, staring at Xiyan. "In the end, did he contact you?"
"He did! Ou Jue went to the hospital yesterday. Niannian, you got it wrong."
"Impossible. How can you just blindly believe whatever he says? How can you be so naive?"
"Because he’s Ou Jue, so I believe him."
Chi Niannian pulled something out of her bag. "Take a look at this first—he’s lying to you!"
