Chapter 168 Like and Love
Seeing Xia Qingyue running back, Han Zhibai ran forward and asked nervously: "What's wrong, Qingyue?"
"Han Zhibai, you..." She tilted her head slightly, staring at his face, her eyes wandering between his strong eyebrows. Her usually calm eyes were now filled with worry and anxiety, almost overflowing.
After a pause, she looked serious and asked tentatively, "Do you have anything you want to tell me?"
Han Zhibai was stunned, his pupils shook twice. How could she know?
Suppressing his surprise, he felt a surge of hope and answered honestly, "Yes, I do have something to tell you."
Unexpectedly, he really wanted to say something to her. Xia Qingyue was stunned and confused.
Looking at her bright eyes, Han Zhibai's eyes were burning, like rolling magma that could easily swallow people. He opened his mouth to speak.
"Then let's meet in the jungle tomorrow morning and tell you what you want to say. It just so happens that I have something to say to you, too."
Han Zhibai, who was about to say something, heard this and subconsciously wondered what Qingyue wanted to say to him.
This thought flashed through my mind, and the joy and excitement in my heart was like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples that were difficult to calm down.
That’s great, he can say those words to Qingyue in person tomorrow!
After more than two hours, we returned to the tiankeng.
Xia Qingyue put down the things she brought back, her steps light as if she was walking on soft clouds. She sat on the stool, holding the corner of the table with her hands.
After such a long time, she could still feel the hot temperature on her face. She spread her hands and covered her face. The tips of her ten fingers were slightly cool, but they were slowly assimilated by the temperature on her face and became hot as well.
Now that she had calmed down, she was so embarrassed that her ears were red. "Oh my god, why did I say that just now? I should have come back and thought it over carefully before saying anything!"
"what--"
Heihei didn't understand what was going on, so he walked over and bit the hem of her clothes, looking at her worriedly.
She put one hand down on the table, resting her cheek on it, and with the other hand she touched Heihei's head. She said softly, "Heihei, I'm fine. I just suddenly realized that Han Zhibai seems to like me, and I like him too..."
"So this is what it feels like to like someone. In my previous life, I never liked anyone of the opposite sex and had very little contact with them."
Maybe because of her original family, she doesn’t think love and marriage are important, and thinks that it will be enough as long as she lives with her grandmother for the rest of her life.
Later, when her grandmother passed away, she thought that she should live a good life alone and never thought about marrying any man.
At night, Xia Qingyue tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She was a little anxious and nervous.
What she was anxious about was that what if she was wrong and Han Zhibai didn't like her at all and was saying something else to her?
I was nervous because if they liked each other, would they just be together naturally? Would they always be like this in the future?
Everything in the future is full of unknowns, so she is still a little scared inside.
Thinking about these things, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Han Zhibai was also unable to sleep. He recalled what Xia Qingyue had said to him during the day and thought countless times in his mind about what to tell her tomorrow.
In this way, the two of them stayed up all night without falling asleep, and there was a hint of blue and black under their eyes.
The next day, dense forest.
With mixed feelings, Xia Qingyue took Heihei to the pine forest. Han Zhibai had been waiting for a long time.
When the two met, their eyes met, and there was nervousness and a bit of joy in their eyes.
"Qingyue." Han Zhibai took a brave step forward. "Actually, I've wanted to tell you something a long time ago, but it might scare you if I tell you."
"You say." She looked back at him, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her clothes.
They were talking face to face, and the two little ones ran to the side and started playing with each other.
After a brief silence, Han Zhibai took a deep breath and stared at her with his dark and affectionate eyes, "Qingyue, I love you!"
"My father once told me a story about a man who encountered a rare fragrant flower. It was so beautiful and attractive that if he didn't pick it, it might be taken away by others. If he picked it, it would belong to him alone.
Then, the person picks the flower, carries it with him, and tells people how much he loves the flower."
"At that time, my father asked me what I thought, and I asked him in return, why must I pick such a beautiful flower? Isn't it better to take good care of it and accompany it every day? As long as it is fine, I will be happy.
Even if someone wants to take it away one day, I will do my best to protect it to the end."
At that time, he was still young and only understood the superficial things. Now, he understands the true meaning.
Loving people is like growing flowers.
"To this day, my thoughts remain the same and have never changed!"
boom--
It was like a sudden thunderclap in her ears. Although she had guessed it, the shock of hearing Han Zhibai say it in person in front of her struck her heart directly.
The hand holding the hem of the clothes loosened and trembled slightly.
Seeing her eyes wide open, Han Zhibai felt panicked and confused, as if thousands of horse hooves were trampling on him again and again. He loosened his fists, and the sweat in his palms was blown away by the cool breeze, and the coldness seeped into his skin and whole body.
"Qingyue, you don't have to rush to reply me. If you have made up your mind, you can tell me. No matter what it is, I will not..."
A pair of soft hands, smooth and white, climbed onto his hands, forcing him to swallow back what he wanted to say.
"I already feel it." Xia Qingyue looked up at the sky, her eyes red, and she smiled sweetly, "The rustling rain, the swaying trees, the breeze, and you, are all telling me your love for me."
We may like a person or thing because of a whim, because they are cute or beautiful, and many other reasons. But what if one day, they are no longer cute or beautiful?
There are so many people and other things in the world. You can meet someone new you like just by turning around.
But love is different, it is unforgettable and will eventually return to ordinary.
To put it bluntly, liking someone is love at first sight and is selfish, while love is never boring after a long time and is about giving.
She smiled with her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, retracted her hand, and raised one hand in the air towards Han Zhibai, "I am not a perfect person, I have many shortcomings, such as slow to get familiar with others, strong guard, and not so quick to fully trust a person.
If someone falls on the road and asks for help, I might just look at them coldly and not help.
If you're okay with that, maybe we can look around?"
Han Zhibai stretched out his hands tremblingly, and held her small hands with his big palms. His cold hands gradually warmed up, and the warmth was transferred to her cold hands.
“Qingyue, no matter what you face or how you act, there are reasons for it, and it cannot be used to judge what kind of person you are.
In my eyes, you are like the golden crow in the sky, bright, warm, and dazzling! "
"You're fine, very good!" Han Zhibai held her hand carefully, as if it were a treasure.
Moved, Xia Qingyue looked at the hand she was holding. The warmth from the hand dispelled the coldness in her body, like a blazing stove, warming her whole body.
She looked up at his eyes filled with tenderness, and two crystal tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
When the second tear was about to slide down his face, she was shocked, leaned forward and threw herself into his arms.
