Chapter 142: "Like You" (III)

The soundtrack on TV suddenly stopped, as if it had entered a tense scene. The horrible calmness should have been apprehensive, but at this moment, Liusu and I could clearly hear each other's rapid heartbeat. We were too excited and needed to be suppressed.

After a long time of silence, as a man, I realized that I needed to take responsibility, so I swallowed hard, and I took the lead in breaking the silence, "Lissu, I'm sorry, I..."

"Yesterday, Murphy invited me to dinner, and I turned off my phone on purpose."

Coincidentally? Liusu spoke at the same time. I was a little stunned. After reacting to her words, I couldn't help but sit up suddenly, "Don't turn off the phone on purpose?! Why?!" I came back to my senses after asking. Why am I excited?

Maybe it's because I have long suspected this, but I deliberately hypnotized myself not to think about this possibility...

"Nan Nan, are you and Murphy really just friends?" Liusu was still embarrassed to face me, lying on his side, curled up his legs and hugged his chest, and his pitiful appearance made me feel guilty.

"Yes..." I didn't want to leave any guilty room and said frankly: "I had fantasies about her before, but it was just fantasies. Now I understand that she and I can only be friends."

"Why? Because you think she doesn't like you?"

"Because she and I live in two different worlds..." I want to say, it is because of you, Cheng Liusu! However, I don't have the courage and lack some confidence.

Chu Nan, are you really that thin? I secretly scolded myself for being unpromising.

I was afraid that Liusu would not believe me because she knew that I had always been in love with Murphy. Moreover, the last time I was forced to kiss her, I slapped her in the face and told her loudly that I like Murphy...

Chu Nan, you should have found a piece of tofu to kill him! Damn, I regret it, why didn’t you face up to your feelings for Liusu earlier, why didn’t you make the right choice earlier? Liusu has made it even more painful.

At this moment, I felt like I had eaten yellow lotus, and it felt so...

Liusu's voice was steady and calm, without any turbulence. I couldn't guess what she was thinking, "What if she likes you?"

I frowned, "Lissu, what do you want to say? Don't go around the corner, okay?" I don't like this assumption. Greed is a bad nature of a man. What is such an assumption for me? Is it a test? A man's desire to give up greed is actually like giving up the flesh on his body. Even if he can do it hard, the pain is real.

Do I want to escape again?

Liusu finally sat up, her yukata slipped off, revealing her round shoulders. She had a pretty face red, but she didn't cover her half of her breasts, as if she was deliberately giving me tofu. She couldn't cover up the sadness on the corner of her mouth, but she insisted on pretending to be natural and said: "She said, you have been a little alienated to her recently, maybe because of me..."

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I was cheerful. It turned out that Murphy was looking for Liusu because I refused her invitation yesterday!

"Although she didn't say it directly, the meaning was already very obvious. She suspected that I was holding a jealous person and obstructing you," Liusu smiled and said, "It's really inexplicable. We two obviously have nothing to do with each other. Why do she think so? She kept saying that you are just friends and begged me not to block your interactions. But if you are really open and have a clear conscience, can she need such sensitivity? She is Murphy, General Manager Mo who can cover the sky with one hand in Fengchang Group! She is as arrogant as a swan. She never uses the corner of her eyes to hold someone else's head down to me and beg me hard! She wants to be promoted to the assistant general manager, not because she thinks I have the ability, but...but..."

Liusu realized her excitement and quickly suppressed her emotions. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head. She didn't want to arrange Murphy's right and wrong in front of me, but she didn't need her to say anything more. I already understood that Murphy would use the position of assistant to the general manager to exchange for Liusu's trust, or in other words, she was buying Liusu...

Murphy mistakenly thought that I was alienating her because of Liusu's jealousy, so she wanted to explain it clearly to Liusu, but this explanation was misunderstood by Liusu, and instead suspected Murphy's relationship with me.

I really can't imagine that a smart woman as smart as Murphy would think of such a clumsy method, and... it was a very insulting person!

No wonder Liusu said that I lied to her. Murphy's behavior and attitude were all misunderstood, but I really didn't know! Does Murphy like me? My buddy thinks we are not that charming, so we can't explain the problem of being entangled like buttons.

"South, if Murphy likes you..."

"Impossible!" I, who always likes to analyze problems rationally, actually lost my composure. I know that I am afraid of all kinds of possibilities.

"I mean 'if', each carrot and vegetables have their own preferences. Maybe, the proud daughter of the day just likes you, a big radish..." Liusu's words sounded very familiar. It seemed that Chu Yuan had said the same thing. I was stunned and heard Liusu continue to ask: "If your dream lover really likes you, what would you do?"

I admit that I am a fickle ghost who deserves death, but at this moment, I already have a firm answer in my heart - she is right in front of me!

I moved my body, sat cross-legged in front of Liusu, helped her tidy up her bathrobe, covering her exposed shoulders, and smiled sincerely: "Liusu, I said that it is impossible for her to be with her. Am I like someone who can't even distinguish between fantasy and reality? Also, I didn't lie to you. Maybe, I didn't treat you as a woman before, and I always joked and laughed. Some of my true feelings were covered up by happy relationships. I was already in blessing but didn't know it. But now, I have clearly realized that we can't continue to be buddies in the future, so..."

"We are still buddies, we used to be, we are now, and we are in the future!"

When I finally mustered up the courage and decided to confess to Liusu, she resolutely interrupted me with such a sentence.

I was stunned, but saw her smiling at me with a firm look on her face and said, "Nan Nan, you like Murphy, I know, Murphy also likes you. I can see that women's intuition is absolutely impossible to be wrong. Didn't I just say it before? I will definitely support you!"

Support me? I seemed to be pushed into the bottomless abyss by these three words, falling to despair at a very fast speed, and I was extremely trembling. I shouted hysterically: "No! No! Liusu, can't you feel what happened just now? What I like is..."

"Murphy!" Liusu, who never performed, smiled so naturally at this moment, but there were two pearl-like tears in the corner of his eyes, and said to me gently in a tone that deceived the child: "We are buddies, just like when I got drunk last time, I was just practicing for you. Whether it was kissing or intimate, they were just practicing. Who made you inexperienced..."

"Lissu!" I couldn't bear to see her silly smile. She smiled so hard that my heart hurts. What are you, a stinky girl, and what are you avoiding?!

Tears finally fell, Liusu bit her already trembling thin lips, stared at my angry eyes, suddenly stood up and pounced on me, hugging my neck tightly, "Please, Nannan, don't say you like me now!"

I was stunned because she understood!

My head was hugged by Liusu, and I could only see the snow neck growing behind her head. A faint fragrance radiated between her hair, which made me lost and confused, "Why... why?"

Why do you know that I like you, but you refuse to listen to me?

"It's so despicable. If you say it, I will definitely be as gentle as you just now, and I can't refuse it! You are so cunning. You know that I can't refuse you! Nannan, I'm very happy, really happy, but I'm so despicable to get you like this!" Liusu smiled, but sobbed, "I have betrayed the word 'buddy' and seduced you, but said something to practice with you. I don't want the feelings I have fought back like this!"

I was stunned and understood.
