Chapter 1685: Confession (Part 2)

That feeling, it’s like something you’ve always thought would be yours is suddenly coveted by someone else, making you feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, during this time, she’s been almost constantly tangled in their feelings; it’s not exactly tangled, just unspoken.

In the past, she hadn’t realized nor thought about it this way and considered her relationship with him as merely being simple playmates, but after hearing Li Que’s complaints, she realized it might not be so.

Although they grew up living together, inseparable, the intimacy of their relationship is something even Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie can’t match.

Thinking about how good Duan Xi is to her always leaves her feeling it’s not an ordinary playmate relationship—after all, what playmate would get close enough to wash someone’s intimate clothes, especially the ones stained from a period?

And most importantly, every time she thought about the possibility that his feelings for her weren’t just that of a simple playmate, her heart couldn’t help but race. Although she was slow to realize, she’s not stupid, and naturally, understands what that means.

But these past two weeks, she’s felt too tired, with tight training schedules, and being young at heart, she’s confident that he would eventually be hers, so she hasn’t rushed to open up about it.

However, her actions had already confirmed it. For instance, every time Li Que teased her about Duan Xi being her boyfriend, she never denied it, and she never bothered washing her training clothes herself, letting him wash them without any guilt.

In her view, it was only a matter of time, and she never worried about it.

Who would have thought that suddenly a Cheng Yaojin would appear, trying to steal her wolf, right under her nose!

How could she not feel uncomfortable, in distress?

And extremely angry!

Just at that moment, Duan Xi only lifted his head to look at her, without any refusal! Had she misunderstood all along? Did he truly only see her as an ordinary playmate?

When Jiaojiao thought of this, her heart ached and felt angry, with a bit of grievance.

"Duan Xi?" The girl saw Duan Xi not responding, just lifting his head to look in a certain direction, but she followed his line of sight and saw nothing, so she mustered her courage to take two more steps forward: "Duan Xi, please respond..."

Before finishing the sentence, she saw Duan Xi, who was expressionless in front of her, suddenly smile. Her heart leapt with joy, thinking he had agreed, but before she could speak, she felt herself being "heavily" bumped by someone. However, the force was too small, not moving her at all, and she stood still.

She turned her head and saw a fair-skinned girl charging in front of her like a little firecracker, puffing her cheeks and issuing a stern warning: "Sister, this behavior of prying into someone else’s relationship is immoral!"

"And who are you?" The girl looked at her in confusion. She remembered inquiring through a friend in Duan Xi’s class and was told Duan Xi didn’t have a girlfriend.

"I am Duan Xi’s girlfriend!" Jiaojiao replied firmly.

Although Jiaojiao put on a calm front, her heart was in turmoil. While she was sure about some things, she hadn’t formally aired everything out, genuinely fearing Duan Xi might say otherwise.

"Little sister, you haven’t come of age, have you? Besides, I haven’t heard Duan Xi has a girlfriend." The girl looked back and forth between Jiaojiao and Duan Xi. Although she was convinced by the look in Duan Xi’s eyes for Jiaojiao, she was unwilling to give up.
