Chapter 242 "I like you" "I like you too"
At this time, the room was very quiet, and Jiu Shao's voice came clearly from the other end of the phone: "Yunyun, I'm coming to City B tomorrow. Can I invite you to have a meal? I have something to tell you."
Yunyun's heart was in turmoil. She knew very well that every word she said was like walking on a tightrope.
She couldn't appear too cold and ruin her plan, but she also didn't want to be too forceful and make Y Bao, who was sitting opposite her, think that she and Jiu Shao had some unusual close relationship, so she could only choose her words carefully.
"Brother Jiu Shao, tomorrow? But I have to live stream tomorrow. Is there anything I can't talk about on WeChat?"
Jiu Shao still insisted on the other end of the phone: "It's okay, I can wait for you to get off the air, no matter how late it is. This matter must be discussed in person, it is very important."
His tone was firm and affectionate, and that enthusiasm came straight through the phone line, making Yunyun sigh in her heart: Brother’s acting skills are too good.
In fact, according to Yunyun's heart, under normal circumstances, she would never agree to such an invitation. But who told her that she was acting according to a predetermined "script"?
She had no choice but to pretend to hesitate and reluctantly agreed: "Okay then."
When Jiu Shao heard this, his excitement instantly overflowed in his voice: "That's great, see you tomorrow."
Yunyun responded softly: "Yeah."
From the moment Li Yiyan heard the content of the conversation between Yunyun and Jiu Shao word for word, he began to feel uneasy.
Especially when he heard the name "Jiu Shao Ge", Li Yiyan's back teeth were about to break.
Until Yunyun hung up the phone, Li Yiyan's face was still terribly gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
Seeing Yunyun hanging up the phone, Li Yiyan remained silent and said nothing. The air pressure in the private room was so low that it was hard to breathe.
Yunyun secretly observed his expression and began to panic. She wondered to herself, did the test fail? Or did Li Yiyan see through her flaw?
All kinds of worries and doubts kept swirling in her mind, making her feel a little overwhelmed.
The air in the private room seemed to be frozen, and the silence was a bit depressing.
Suddenly, Li Yiyan broke the silence. He looked at Yunyun and asked, "Will you go tomorrow?"
In order to ensure that this trial drama could go smoothly to the end, Yunyun quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and swallowed back the words "I won't go" that she was about to say, and instead put on an excited look and said, "I will definitely go!"
She even deliberately added some cheering emotions to her tone, trying to make her performance more realistic. But only she knew how uneasy she was at the moment.
Li Yiyan didn't seem to intend to give up. Without waiting for Yunyun to say anything more, he asked a more pointed question: "Do you like him?"
This question made Yunyun stunned. She didn't say anything in the voice call, how could it suddenly rise to the level of liking him? This caught her off guard.
Yunyun opened her eyes wide, looked at Li Yiyan in confusion, and subconsciously asked, "What?"
However, Li Yiyan did not answer Yunyun, but immediately threw out a third heavy question: "Then do you like me?"
These two consecutive questions made Yunyun dizzy. Her mind instantly fell into chaos and she became at a loss.
The question was so jumpy that her brain couldn't keep up. She sat there blankly, opening her mouth but not knowing how to answer.
Of course, Li Yiyan seemed to be afraid of hearing an answer that would break his heart, and he did not give Yunyun any time to answer.
He leaned forward slightly, looking into Yunyun's eyes with his deep eyes. At this moment, his expression suddenly became extremely serious. "Although I don't know whether you like me or not, I want to tell you that I like you."
After saying this, Li Yiyan seemed to have used up all his strength, slowly shifted his gaze away, no longer looking into Yunyun's eyes.
He knew very well what this confession meant. The reason why he mustered up the courage to look Yunyun in the face and say those words was that he wanted to convey his seriousness and earnestness through his eyes and let her truly feel that this love was not just a momentary impulse.
As for what he was going to say next, he did not dare to look into Yunyun's eyes again, because he was afraid, afraid to see even a trace of alienation and resistance in those clear eyes.
He could only lower his head slightly, avoiding Yunyun's gaze, and continued: "I know this may be a little sudden for you, but I still want to tell you. I don't know when I started to like you. But I know that every moment with you, whether it is the gentle laughter in ordinary days, or the big or small things we experienced together, to me, are my most precious memories."
He paused, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying to calm his inner turmoil, then continued, "However, I am only expressing my feelings to you, and you have the right to refuse. Even if you refuse me, we can still maintain the status quo, and I will still give you gifts as before. Of course, all this is based on your willingness. I don't want you to feel any embarrassment or pressure because of my confession, and you don't need to feel burdened. I am only expressing my love for you, and you have the right to refuse. It's okay if you refuse."
Yunyun's face, which originally had a hint of shyness and joy, gradually became filled with doubts when she heard the following words, and her slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
At first, when Li Yiyan said "I like you", Yunyun was filled with joy and happiness. She had been thinking about him for a long time, and at this moment, she finally heard the response.
The person that she secretly loves is now sitting in front of her and she is confessing her love to him. What a wonderful thing it is.
However, as Li Yiyan continued to talk, she felt something was wrong. Why did he say more words of rejection than words of confession?
Who, when confessing their love, would only think about giving the other person a way out and keep emphasizing that it’s okay to be rejected?
After that moment of silence, Li Yiyan slowly raised his head, with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in his eyes.
What caught his eye was Yunyun's slightly frowning face. This made him even more unsure. Deep down in his heart, he had already begun to prepare for the upcoming rejection.
However, what he heard was not the cold rejection he expected, but Yunyun's gentle but firm voice: "I like you, too."
