He thought he had an auditory hallucination .
Perhaps the phrases “gege” and “I like you” were separate .
For example, she called him gege .
“I like you” could be said to other people .
To go to a more extreme point, “Gege” might be a personal name and have nothing to do with him .
Lu Zixi’s heart churned with a sour sensation that was both stifling and painful .
He could only hug her heless and soft body and comfort her softly, “It’s okay, I’ll settle everything soon . I won’t let people slander you like this . ”
Bai Weiwei was silent for a few seconds . She suddenly lifted her head . Her eyes held a layer of mist, and her pink lips were pursed . She seemed to want to say something .
She spoke in a soft, muffled voice . “…”
Because she had raised her head, a touch of white was revealed beneath the pure-white neck and slightly loosened collar .
Lu Zixi’s eyes darkened by a few shades . He took a few deep breaths .
He suppressed the wild roaring in his heart .
When she was this vulnerable .
What was he thinking?
Bai Weiwei waved at the end, making her sound even sweeter and softer . “I like you . ”
Lu Zixi finally understood .
She was truly looking at him, saying she liked him .
His brain was mush, even going so far as to deny it . “You like me?”
How could she like him?
The cage that Lu Zixi had painstakingly built could no longer contain the wild beast in his heart .
He had tried so desperately to press down his feelings for her .
If he lost control again, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt her .
Her confession must be just a slip of the tongue in a moment of weakness .
And he believed it . If she regretted it later, he would never let her go .
Lu Zixi’s throat tightened, his reason in its dying struggles . “Don’t talk nonsense, Weiwei…”
Bai Weiwei sighed . There was a hint of resolution in her eyes .
For a moment, Lu Zixi’s brain wasn’t functioning .
He didn’t know how to react
Her faint fragrance surrounded him .
She was so powerless, so weak and simple .
Lu Zixi’s self-control wholly shattered .
His gaze was heated, his body was stiff, and the blue veins on his neck popped out from the exertion of holding back .
Bai Weiwei felt this should be enough to explain who she liked .
Standing on tiptoe was tiring, ah .
So she let go of him, separating her lips from him, and repeated, “I like you . ”
Lu Zixi looked at her with a dark expression, then suddenly said: “Do you know what you’re saying?”
Bai Weiwei’s lips were bright red with a hint of moisture, and her wet eyes glistened as she looked at him . “I know . ”
Lu Zixi’s breathing suddenly grew solemn . “Whether it’s because you’re hurting and you wanted to find someone, or because you wanted a temporary support in your time of weakness, so you looked for me, I don’t care anymore . ”
Bai Weiwei watched him blankly . Suddenly, a smile unfurled on her face, and her voice trembled softly . “No, I’ve liked you since the first time I met you . When I found out you were my brother, I was so scared . ”
Her smile gradually faded . “I was scared that I couldn’t like you . ”
Those sour feelings in Lu Zixi’s heart finally bubbled up . His eyes were a bit moist, but his heart was joyful .
He hugged her harder . Gently placing his jaw on her head, he coaxed softly: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, ne . If the heavens collapse, I’ll be there to carry you . What do you have to be afraid of?”
Piper: Outside of my research that I mentioned above (getting thief sites to credit our translators) I actually have another, more formal research project for an important research class . I wanted to do my research on Chinese Web Novels because I have access to lots of info about demographics, and can easily give surveys, but I’m not sure what research question to ask . Anyone got any ideas? Thank you very much for potentially trying to help me!
