Chapter 397: Esports God, Don’t Shut Yourself Away 62
He spoke slowly
"I can sleep on my own; you can go do what you want to do."
But his voice sounded so distressed, so aggrieved.
Su Yan licked her lips, also understanding he had misunderstood.
She spoke up to explain
"He is my ex-boyfriend, but we only dated for a few days, and didn’t even kiss. I have no relationship with him."
Her explanation, especially the part that they hadn’t even kissed, made Ji Yan’s ears twitch.
It seemed like he took it in.
She reached out and tugged at his clothes
"Do you believe me?
Ji Yan’s eyelashes trembled as he slowly turned towards Su Yan and opened his eyes.
His raspy voice arose
"Su Yan loves Xiang Chong."
"Huh?"
She was taken aback.
Ji Yan spoke in a tone of deep resentment
"I saw it, you still keep it"
Having said that, he buried his head under the blanket.
A muffled voice came through
"You don’t have to lie to me."
Xiao Hua reminded her
"Ah, Host! Look in your bag, the ’evidence’ is peeking out."
Su Yan turned her head to look and saw the black box peeking out of the bag that had fallen on the table.
She walked over, picked up the box.
She opened it, glanced inside, then closed the lid again, and walked over to Ji Yan.
She stretched out her hand and tugged at the blanket.
Ji Yan showed his head.
A pair of dark eyes full of grievance looked at Su Yan.
"You like him."
When these four words were spoken, Ji Yan’s hands clutching the blanket turned white from the grip.
Su Yan said
"This thing, isn’t that important."
Ji Yan opened his mouth,
"You, you’ve always kept it."
As she listened, the very next second, she hurriedly threw the box into the trash can beside her.
The atmosphere quieted down, and Su Yan fell silent too.
Ji Yan lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Until finally, Su Yan spoke up, very earnestly
"When I was in high school, I may have been infatuated with him for a while, but it definitely wasn’t like. I only like you. I came back just to make a clean break with him."
It seemed like Ji Yan took it in.
The sound of his breathing became a lot steadier.
Then, he spoke slowly,
"I’m ill, and if you are just pitying me, it would make me very sad."
She listened and fell quiet for a long time.
So quiet that Ji Yan looked up at her.
Then she finally said
"I like you, and it has nothing to do with your illness."
Su Yan’s words could easily make one believe.
Every word she said was real, very serious.
As long as she said it, he would believe it.
The color finally returned to Ji Yan’s face.
Su Yan remained quiet for a while.
She recalled what Ji Yan had just said.
He had said she kept it all along.
It meant that he knew about the box in her possession a long time ago.
While she thought about it, she asked
"Did you see this box before?"
Ji Yan’s body stiffened.
Then he slowly nodded.
"When?"
"That day, when you sent me away."
Every time he mentioned the departure that day, in Ji Yan’s mind, it was Su Yan who sent him away.
So mentioning it always made him feel dejected.
Su Yan thought about it, she had simply forgotten to deal with it, remembering only that one task had been completed.
No wonder Ji Yan was sulky that day.
It turned out that he had seen the box.
She never anticipated that this box could lead to so much trouble.
Following that, she heard Ji Yan’s uneasy and sorrowful voice again
"You never gave me a gift."
Su Yan swallowed.
"Um..."
Although she resolved the misunderstanding,
Somewhat unexpectedly, Su Yan felt that he would be sulky for a long time.
And at the moment, she had nothing to give him.
While she was thinking, Xiao Hua’s voice rang out.
