Chapter 1456 - 1540: Do You Like Me
The young man is called Su Lang.
This boy is very clingy, but also loyally devoted.
For a while, he observed Su Lang and felt that the boy carried a shadow of Dong Baowei, especially in his foolish loyalty.
The relationship between Su Lang and him was like that of Dong Baowei and the Ninth Princess.
In front of Su Lang, he seemed like an immortal, appearing disinterested in worldly affairs, which was also a rare moment for him to let down his guard and relax a little.
His progression with Dong Baowei was quite smooth.
He heard that war was looming on the border, and once, after a fruitful horse ride for hunting with Dong Baowei, she suddenly asked as they were about to part: "Young Master Xiao, do you like me?"
He was slightly shocked.
"The other day when I was out on a mission, I heard people say that if a man like you pursues someone, it means he likes her. Do you... like me?"
Her tone was hesitant, not very confident internally.
He raised an eyebrow, "What if I do like you, and what if I don’t?"
She thought seriously. "If you don’t like me, just pretend I never said anything. Actually, I also think it might be my own misconception. You might just be teasing me for fun, after all, you often play tricks on me. Maybe, in your eyes, I am just a toy."
"But what if I do like you?"
She froze for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him.
He didn’t realize how serious he looked, only that she was staring at him in a daze for quite a while.
After a long time, she finally lowered her head, murmuring faintly: "If you like me, wait until I come of age."
Then, she quickly explained: "I understand, you don’t need to say anything!"
He said nothing, and she rushed to speak before he could.
"I know I’m not good-looking, and short, unlike other tall girls. But I am young, maybe in two more years, I might grow taller! There’s a cloud and mud difference between us, someone like me is not worthy of a Prime Minister’s son like you. In this aspect, I am well-aware. If it weren’t for you always being by my side this past half year, hunting, boating, and picnicking together, I wouldn’t dare to entertain such thoughts."
"Let’s just pretend I never mentioned this today!"
In the end, she was insecure, turning away stiffly.
"Wait!" He grabbed her arm, "You’ve said all this, what do you want me to say?"
She was very embarrassed, her little face initially dark now turned a deep red.
He thought to himself, ’You see the character of a person at three; even after two years, she won’t grow any taller.’
However,
his initiative stirred her heart, which actually pleased him. It was the first time she expressed her thoughts about him so clearly and directly.
But she seemed to feel inferior due to her status and appearance.
Sweeping her hair softly across her forehead, he placed a kiss as light as a cicada’s wing on it.
When he first met her, he was astonished, not because she was beautiful, but because he was so ugly. He even thought at that time, with such an ugly face, who knows who she would trouble in the future. When this person grows up, comes of age, and marries, how unlucky her husband will be to have to kiss such an ugly face.
Yet at this moment, he couldn’t help himself, kissing her forehead without any aversion. Perhaps being accustomed to seeing her face frequently over the past half year made it normal to him.
Her face blushed deeply!
He instead smiled, "Fool, is that all you’re capable of? Where was your courage just now? If you wanted to tell me your feelings, don’t be so evasive and self-denying. Do you think I’m very idle? Who would have the time to stick around you all day without feelings? Luckily, you weren’t too foolish, not making me wait too long."
