Chapter 210 - First Love

How could she even understand the concept of love at that point of time?

She merely had a crush on him that lasted even more than a decade.

"Hmm? Is this me?"

The low voice stunned Yu Yan so much that she nearly dropped her phone. She looked to the back and saw that Long Ying had already put his book away and now stood behind her. His silver eyes were looking at her phone while the corner of his lips tugged up in amusement.

"This is…"

Before Yu Yan could explain, Long Ying had taken her phone and began to swipe the picture to the side. He was stunned when he saw another picture of him, this time it was when he was sleeping comfortably on the table.

Swiping again, he saw himself once more. This time he was drinking something and leaned on the wall, seemingly bored. His eyes were focused on the front and there was nothing that was captured and Long Ying himself couldn't remember what he was looking at this time.

As he swipe again, the next picture was still him when he had finished his first fight with some brats. It was the time when he asked permission to beat up the bullies on his first year of high school because he didn't want to look bad in front of Yu Yan.

Long Ying then looked at Yu Yan, whose face turned red. He was surprised that his little wife had kept his picture ever since a long time ago.

"Yan'er."

"Uh… I…"

"I didn't expect my wife to be a stalker." Long Ying was amused.

Yu Yan waved her hand and stood up, trying to grab her phone. Her face had turned beet red as she was trying to find a way to explain this matter. "I'm not a stalker. I… I was thinking of keeping some photos for memories."

"Some photos?" Long Ying arched his eyebrows and looked at the folder in front of him. As he moved back, he could see that there were at least 100 photos there. He was speechless.

"How dedicated of you to secretly take picture from time to time."

"That's…"

"Say, how many people whose photo you have been keeping secretly, Yan'er?" Long Ying looked at his little wife as his eyes narrowed. The thoughts of his little wife keeping other guy's picture in her phone and secretly looking at it displease him.

Yu Yan's face turned redder. She didn't want to say this but he had caught her when she was looking at the folder. "Only you…"

"What?"

"Only YOU! IDIOT!"

By now, Yu Yan felt her embarrassment had reached the top. She rushed to the bed and pulled the blanket to cover up her head because she couldn't bear to stay under Long Ying's gaze anymore. 

Ahhh.... what would he think if he knew that she had been keeping his picture not long after their first meeting? That would be so embarrassing!

Long Ying was absolutely stunned when he heard what Yu Yan said. Only him? That means, Yu Yan was only keeping pictures of him secretly inside her phone. He felt a bit bad for thinking bad of her.

Lowering his eyes, he looked at the very first picture once more. From the picture alone, he could see that he was still young at that time. His face hadn't matured and still looked a bit childish. In addition, his hair was short and messy. 

There was a date at the corner of the picture and Long Ying's eyes narrowed when he saw the date.

It was 13 years ago… which meant that it was when they were both 15 years old? First year of high school?

Long Ying was stunned. He looked at Yu Yan, who was still hiding under the blanket as he felt that he had uncovered a secret. When Yu Yan talked about the letter that she was meant to give to her first love, she hadn't specified the exact date.

But since Yu Xin only visited when Yu Yan was on her third year of high school, Long Ying naturally thought that Yu Yan got attracted to him after interacting with him for some time. 

He himself also had some thoughts about her not long after their first meeting, though….

He was already so happy and didn't think of asking when she first fell for him. But looking at the picture in her phone, Long Ying could guess that Yu Yan's feeling to him was mutual as she also got attracted to him early on.

What a fate.

Long Ying's lips curled up to form a smile as he slowly walked to the bed. For some reasons, some of her actions began to make sense to him since he did think that she was a bit too close at times. But of course, he often chalked it up to the fact that they were just children.

But if she was already attracted to him, wasn't it normal for one to want to get close to another?

"Yan'er."

"Don't talk to me!"

"But I want to stay close to my wife." Long Ying pulled the blanket carefully as to not use too much strength. He could see Yu Yan was hiding her face on the pillow and glared at him as if itching to take a bite from him. This made her looked so cute that he wished he could pull her away and make sure to enjoy every moment with her.

"You…"

"Since my wife is so dedicated to me, I have to make sure that I'm equally dedicated, don't I?" Long Ying pulled Yu Yan closer and kissed her. Yu Yan could only respond as she was still feeling utterly embarrassed.

When Long Ying released her, his eyes were still smiling. "Shall we have a talk, Yan'er?"

"I…"

Before Yu Yan could answer, Long Ying had kissed her once more. 

In the end, the two of them have a long 'talk'.
