Wants You to Give Him a Chance

“Ei? You seem to be particularly idle today?” Jing Yue asked, staring at the man who was walking beside her and blinked her eyes.

“Is it bad to accompany you?” Xiao Chen retorted as he leaned his head to stare at Jing Yue’s upraised little head.

“Ke ke (cough)…… Don’t talk like that, it’s nauseating……” Jing Yue cringed, and quickly turned around as she walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Jing Yue had specifically told someone to put a wide couch there. This moment was a perfect time to lie down.

Xiao Chen’s eyebrows rose slightly seeing Jing Yue’s escaping silhouette, the corners of his lips were curved slightly upward. He strode forward with large steps and swiftly carried Jing Yue up in his arms without any politeness before sitting down and letting Jing Yue lean on his body. Jing Yue’s body turned rigid. When she had just then wanted to move, Xiao Chen suppressed her movements with ease.

Jing Yue, having gotten along with Xiao Chen for a long time, had long known about Xiao Chen’s temper. For example, right now in this situation, the best choice would be to not move, otherwise the one who would bear the bitterness would still only be herself. Jing Yue silently dropped her arms and gave up on struggling, leaning on Xiao Chen without any qualms.

Xiao Chen lifted his hand, fiddling with Jing Yue’s hand. Two persons were silent for a long time until Xiao Chen opened his mouth, “Today, Jing Zhan came to find me.”

At the beginning, Jing Yue was leaning relaxingly on Xiao Chen. Yet after hearing Xiao Chen’s words, her whole body suddenly became tense. Xiao Chen could easily perceive the changes in her movements. He raised his hand to hold Jing Yue’s hand and said, “If you do not want to meet him, then you don’t have to meet.”

Jing Yue slowly relaxed her movements and calmed her agitated heart. She closed her eyes and asked, “What did he say?”

“He wants you to give him a chance.” Xiao Chen then softly said, “What you’ve said to Jing Lang, he knows all of it.”

“Doesn’t matter, I don’t want to see him.” Jing Yue dropped her gaze and then said, “Also, please tell him, I don’t want to have the slightest relation with him. Tell him not to appear in front of me.”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed. He focused his gaze at Jing Yue who was drooping her head, his heart slightly trembled. He raised his hand to caress Jing Yue’s cheek who was seemingly calm and said with a sigh, “Jing Yue, you are my, Xiao Chen’s, person. If you’re not willing, no one can force you.”

“Remember.” Xiao Chen leaned over and gave her a light kiss on the forehead. Perhaps at this time, Xiao Chen himself wasn’t aware of how gentle he was at the moment.

Waves of warmth flared in Jing Yue’s heart. In this life, it was the first time she ever felt this kind of warmth. Warmth that could burn people yet people would be reluctant to let it go. Jing Yue lowered her gaze. There was a smile in her eyes. However, when Xiao Chen lightly kissed her, her heart became chaotic.

“I…… Of course I know ah!” Jing Yue abruptly stood up. “Aiya! Very sleepy ah! I’m going to go to sleep!” she said with slightly pink cheeks. She didn’t give Xiao Chen any time to respond and ran away like a wisp of smoke.

That ‘fleeing in panic’ figure caused a shallow smile to flash in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

Once Jing Yue was back to her courtyard, she ordered for the gate behind her to be closed. Mumbling while patting her cheeks, “Xiao Chen this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what is he saying such sentimental words for……?” As Jing Yue spoke, her cheeks flushed again. She hastily ran towards the bed and threw herself onto it, lying motionlessly.

Jing Yue didn’t know whether Xiao Chen slept in her room that night or not. After all, when she woke up she didn’t see Xiao Chen’s figure. She was also too lazy to ask Yin Qiao. Anyway, Xiao Chen, this extremely busy person, had always been ‘appearing like a G.o.d, vanis.h.i.+ng like a Ghost’ who left with no trace.
