The car kept driving out of Qin City, entered the mountains, and finally stopped by a cool lakeside.
"Itâs so beautiful here." Gu Lingling said with a smile after getting out of the car.
"What do you plan to do about todayâs events?" However, Yang Yunhai wasnât there to let her enjoy the scenery; his cello-like deep voice asked, "What if someone else confesses to you next time?"
"I... I donât think it will happen again." Gu Lingling lowered her head and once again buried it in the sand, pretending not to see Yang Yunhaiâs resolute yet affectionate gaze, "Besides, I wonât accept them."
"What if someone else does?" Yang Yunhai asked.
"How could they? There are so many nice girls in the transformer factory." Gu Lingling said.
She always felt that Yang Yunhai was somehow different today, but as to how, she couldnât focus on thinking about it now because her heart was thumping so fast that it prevented her from calming down.
"What if that person is me?" Yang Yunhai walked to Gu Lingling, placing his hands on her shoulders, "Look at me, this time donât pretend not to see by lowering your head."
How dare Gu Lingling make eye contact with him?
If she still couldnât understand Yang Yunhaiâs intentions at this moment, then her two lifetimes would have been lived in vain.
But why?
It was clear in her past life, he liked He Yue.
Before she realized it, her chin had been lifted by Yang Yunhaiâs calloused fingers, and she had no choice but to face the owner of the hand, "I mean, what if I liked you? Would you agree to be with me?"
I like you!
This is the first time Yang Yunhai so clearly expressed his feelings to Gu Lingling.
In the past, all those things he did for her played out like a movie scene by scene before her eyes.
It turns out, some things cannot be ignored by pretending to bury oneâs head in the sand; a long time ago, he had already demonstrated all of this through his actions.
He seems to have liked her for a long time now.
Since when?
Was it from when Wang Meili schemed against her innocence? Or from teaching her defense techniques? Or perhaps from when they fell down the hillside together?
Gu Lingling couldnât figure it out.
It seems all those major events happening around her involved him silently protecting her.
"Brother Yang..." Gu Linglingâs mouth moved slightly, unsure of what to say next.
But Yang Yunhai suddenly lowered his head, capturing the lips he had long been yearning for.
She... was she kissed by him?
Wasnât she?
She must be dreaming.
Just like the dream she had in the past, the one where it was just her and Yang Yunhai.
Yang Yunhai, wanting to continue exploring this wonderful first kiss in life, was amused by the little girlâs wide-eyed almond eyes.
She must be scared, right?
After pecking lightly on her lips again, he held her in his arms and then smiled saying, "Youâve been kissed, sealed with a stamp, youâre mine forever."
"But..." I havenât agreed yet.
"No buts." Yang Yunhai rubbed Gu Linglingâs head while looking at her, "Just follow your heart, I will always be here."
But isnât it too unfair?
And her heart, though she had always used past life events to warn herself not to have fanciful thoughts, when this moment came before her, if she continued pretending, it would be too unjust to Yang Yunhaiâs feelings.
Because her heart had long started beating for him, and she couldnât suppress it even if she wanted to.
"No." Gu Lingling shook her head.
Then, amidst Yang Yunhaiâs surprised expression, she tiptoed to peck his sexy thin lips back.
"My heart is here too."
