Chapter 18: Unexpected Confession Results
Since Jiang Xiaoyi is not a school student, she does not have any chance to be alone with Chen Cheng, and some words are inconvenient to say when there are too many people.
So one day after school at noon, Jiang Xiaoyi did not take the bus home as usual, but instead looked at Chen Cheng and said, "Hey, Chen Cheng, I will stay in the classroom for rest today. Can you take me to the cafeteria for dinner? I'll borrow your meal card to use it."
Chen Cheng naturally would not refuse Jiang Xiaoyi's request, so he went to the cafeteria with Jiang Xiaoyi and then served two more meals.
"You've eaten a lot."
Jiang Xiaoyi smiled and pointed to Chen Cheng's plate. The portion inside was almost twice that of Jiang Xiaoyi. "And you still like to eat sweet and sour tenderloin as before."
"You know me well in the past."
Chen Cheng looked up at Jiang Xiaoyi, then smiled with a point of view, "But I am no longer the same me as before."
"Actually, it's almost the same. I remember when we came to the cafeteria to have dinner together, you liked to sit in this position..."
Jiang Xiaoyi looked at Chen Cheng as she spoke, as if helping him awaken his memory. "At that time, you always liked to come and have a meal after playing ball. When it was hot, you would buy two glasses of ice coke, one cup you drink yourself, and the other cup was given to me..."
"By the way, do you still remember the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in my second year of high school? At that time, I brought a guitar to school to practice singing, but you actually played it, and sang a song "Who do you think of when you are lonely?" In fact, you didn't know what I was going to transfer to school, but I cried so hard that I was exhausted. You asked me if I was singing to you because I like you..."
"Ha? I've played such a joke with you at that time?"
"No, it's not a joke, you were serious at the time."
Jiang Xiaoyi explained seriously, "It's just that I thought I was about to transfer to school, so I didn't have the courage to admit it. But after I went to the imperial capital, I regretted it because I have been caring about you and can't forget the song you sang for me, and I can't forget you at all..."
“Um…”
The topic was a bit "stalemate", so Chen Cheng had to remain silent and bury his head to eat. As a result, Jiang Xiaoyi emphasized again on his own, "Chen Cheng, I can answer you now. I was sang and cried because I liked you. You...you guessed right."
It is said that Jiang Xiaoyi is not the kind of girl who can confess her love actively. She should be better at fascinating the opposite sex and then causing the other party to confess her love actively.
But perhaps Chen Cheng has been "standard" these days, which made Jiang Xiaoyi a little confused, so she finally chose to take the initiative.
If it were in his previous life, Chen Cheng would definitely agree directly, but now...
Chen Cheng just pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "So youth always has regrets. Fortunately, it is all the past, so let it go if it is the past!"
"No, there is no past, I have already answered you now, Chen Cheng, I cried because I liked you."
Jiang Xiaoyi said, and couldn't help but sniff, "Chen Cheng, I have liked you since I was still here."
"call!"
Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this stall would have an opportunity to fall in love from the middle school age.
To be honest, as an "old man", Chen Cheng still misses this pure relationship very much, because the love at this time is the most firm and does not care about gains and losses, and... it is likely that it will be difficult to have it again in the future.
"Chen Cheng, why don't you speak?"
Jiang Xiaoyi's long eyelashes trembled. At this time, her heart was experiencing a huge fluctuation. "Did you...didn't you like me at that time? Or did I blame me for not explaining it clearly at that time? I..."
Chen Cheng could see that Jiang Xiaoyi was very serious, and she was not a casual girl, but Chen Cheng didn't want to have a "twilight love" in the middle school era now.
So he turned on the "old fried dough stick" mode and looked at Jiang Xiaoyi and asked, "What do you want me to say? Or, what kind of answer do you want?"
"Forehead……"
Jiang Xiaoyi said that she was stopped by Chen Cheng, so the answer seemed a little stuttering, "Of course... of course you have to give it to yourself."
"Well, if that's the case, then I can tell you that liking is a cheap emotion for me. I can fall in love with many people for many ridiculous reasons. Do you understand?"
"You... are you kidding, how can you fall in love with many people?"
Jiang Xiaoyi now obviously can't keep up with the thinking of an "old man". The expression on her face seemed to be quite surprised and slightly dissatisfied. She looked like she was saying, "Like it is a very sacred thing, how can you do this?"
"You will be like this in the future." Chen Cheng looked at Jiang Xiaoyi and said calmly.
“No.”
Jiang Xiaoyi shook her head, her eyes looking extremely firm, "I... Anyway, I only like you now, and I can't think of the possibility of liking others."
Well, it is really meaningless to discuss this kind of problem with an eighteen-year-old girl, because only experience can change a person's thoughts, but he can't speak verbally, so Chen Cheng sighed and said, "Then let's not discuss this issue for now. I'll tell you another thing..."
"What's the matter?"
"I promised our class teacher before that we would take the 'top three in the county' during the college entrance examination."
"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoyi opened her mouth slightly, as if she was a little disbelief.
"Look, even you don't think it's possible." Chen Cheng smiled, but he didn't seem to care much.
"No, I...I just... in short, I believe that as long as you make a promise, you will definitely be able to do it." Jiang Xiaoyi nodded and said firmly.
"Then you should understand that I don't have the heart to think about these love and love things now." Chen Cheng said as if "I want to study hard, not fall in love."
"Is this a disguised rejection?" Jiang Xiaoyi lowered her head, her eyes looking extremely disappointed.
"No, I am trying to be a better self. Only by becoming a better self can I welcome a better love."
Chen Cheng was grateful to Jiang Xiaoyi's feelings for him, so he directly turned on the "fals" mode for her. "Xiaoyi, I always feel that only when the two of them get better together can they be qualified to talk about the future, otherwise they will not be destined to last. Are you... willing to work hard with me to prepare for the college entrance examination from now on?"
???
What magical development is this?
Jiang Xiaoyi blinked and was stunned:
Didn’t you still talk about love just now?
Why did they suddenly become a study together?
