Chapter 439 - Loving You is My Affair (2)
Xiyan’s mind exploded all at once, completely overwhelmed...What did Niannian just say?
Standing, standing from the perspective of a lover?
"Niannian, your lover, you..." Xiyan stared at her helplessly, stumbling over her words, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"It’s just as you think." Chi Niannian made no effort to hide her feelings, her refined demeanor blending seamlessly with an aura of dominance. It exuded an indescribable charm as her amber-colored eyes shimmered subtly. "I’ve always acted from the perspective of loving you, doing all of these things for you. From the blonde-haired girl to the hospital incident later, and even the time we had barbecue when I asked Ou Jue to serve me food—all of it was because I wanted to test Ou Jue’s feelings for you."
As Chi Niannian spoke, her gaze lowered. The moonlight poured down gently, illuminating the bitterness on the corners of her lips. "All of this is because loving you is my secret burden."
Loving you is my secret burden.
Oh my god...
That sentence resonated like a demonic echo, lingering in Xiyan’s ears, impossible to shake off.
Her gaze froze as her lips opened and closed countless times, unable to utter a single word.
She had always believed that aside from An Ran and Ruge, Niannian was the friend who cared the most about her.
She had never doubted that feeling.
But now, when a friend you’ve always trusted suddenly confesses that she loves you...
Aaaaah...
For the first time experiencing something like this, what am I supposed to do??
Xiyan was utterly clueless.
"This is like a secret; I want to keep it hidden yet also want to shout it out loud to everyone. I’m afraid of you knowing, but I’m also afraid of you not knowing. I’m terrified that once you find out, you’ll ignore me completely. I’ve been cautious, wrestling with my insecurities."
"You probably think I’m a pervert, right? You might even feel that a girl loving another girl is disgusting, isn’t it?" Chi Niannian stroked the side of Xiyan’s face, murmuring softly, "But what can I do? I can’t control my heart."
"Niannian..." Xiyan remained utterly still, as if frozen in place.
Not far away, someone was approaching them.
Chi Niannian let go of Xiyan.
Not because she feared being seen but because she didn’t want others to look at Xiyan with strange eyes.
"I’ve said everything I wanted to say."
After all these attempts at probing, Chi Niannian had finally given up.
Because the result was already clear.
Ou Jue liked Xia Xiyan—a kind of love where he’d give up his life for her.
Such a conclusion... perhaps that was enough for Chi Niannian.
"I won’t disrupt your happiness with Ou Jue anymore."
"It’s okay to hate me."
At least this way, you’ll remember me forever.
...
Xiyan had no idea how she got back home; her brain was completely fried, okay??
Niannian likes me...
How could she possibly like me?
The next day, early morning.
Today was the day to report to the film crew, and Ou Jue arrived on time to pick up Xiyan.
Seeing the little girl with her luggage, Ou Jue glanced at the dark circles under Xiyan’s eyes and spoke with a meaningful tone, "Xia Xiyan, did you have another erotic dream last night? Hmm?"
Xiyan snapped back to reality, clenching her tiny fists. "I did not!"
Besides, why did this Demon King emphasize "another"?
After tossing Xiyan’s suitcase into the back of the car, Ou Jue slammed the trunk shut. "You’d better explain to me what you did last night."
Those big dark circles of hers could practically enroll her in the zoo as a national treasure, okay?
The driver opened the rear car door for Xiyan.
Xiyan slid inside, speaking lazily, "I had insomnia, tossing and turning until after early morning before I finally fell asleep."
"You treat me like air? If you had insomnia, why didn’t you call me?"
"Why would I call you? You’re not the one who’s sleepless."
Ou Jue stared at her, clearly displeased. "Xia Xiyan, are you even a proper woman?"
Couldn’t she rely on him a little more?!
Xiyan blinked innocently, "What does being a woman have to do with this?"
"Idiot." Ou Jue shook his head in exasperation, pinching her nose with a hint of irritation. "From now on, if you ever have insomnia, no matter what time it is, you must call me. Got it?"
"...Okay."
Ou Jue’s voice turned chilling, carrying an edge of danger. "What, are you feeling reluctant?"
"I’m not!" Xiyan grinned brightly and sneakily planted a kiss on Ou Jue’s cheek. "Let’s go already."
Letting out a cold snort from his nose, Ou Jue’s expression finally softened as he commanded the driver, "Drive!"
As he spoke, he pulled Xiyan into his lap. "Once we get there, you’re not allowed to look at any other men."
"But there’ll definitely be men at the film crew."
"..." Ou Jue’s dark eyes locked onto Xiyan, silent and intense.
Xiyan quickly leaned against his chest, resolutely declaring, "What’s good about other men anyway? None of them can even compare with your finger, okay? What’s there to look at?"
Ou Jue’s voice went gravelly, "You’ll call me every two hours."
"..."
"Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard you."
Just then, Assistant Chen timidly raised his phone. "Y-Young Master, Miss Qianmo’s call..."
Ou Jue’s gaze remained fixated on the girl’s delicate face as he said flatly, "Hang up."
The call was disconnected.
Xiyan leaned close to his ear, whispering softly, "Please, spare me, okay? I won’t look at other men, and I’ll call you on time."
