Xia Cola was stunned. He looked at him in disbelief. "You …"
"What? Not used to it?" Xu Jianyi couldn't help but chuckle softly as he looked at Xia Cola's face filled with shock. Then, as if he was afraid that she would struggle free, he tightened his grip around her.
"I …"
Xia Keke opened her mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
She lowered her head to look at the two of them holding hands. The warmth from his palms slowly seeped into her body.
"I'm not used to it now, but I'll get used to it in the future!" Although she didn't say anything, he seemed to have seen through her thoughts as he spoke with a firm tone.
Xia Keke lowered her head. She thought for a moment before finally nodding her head and answering with a grunt.
Seeing her attitude, Xu Jiayi felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, causing his grip to tighten even more.
There weren't many people on the streets abroad, so Xu Jiayi was happy to be quiet. He held onto Xia Cola's hand as they strolled along the roadside for a while. In the end, he decided to take her to a shopping mall.
Blame him for not having prepared a travel guide earlier, which was why the two of them were so bored.
There weren't many people in the mall, so with a glance, it was quite empty.
Xu Jianyi knew that Xia Cola had no interest in clothes. When he went out with Chen Xing, he would only eat, drink and play. He rarely went to shopping malls to buy clothes.
Moreover, Auntie Xia had her own fashion designer, so she had no shortage of clothes.
"How do you feel about filming?" Xu Jianyi glanced at the girl beside him. She was slightly bowing her head, as if she was somewhat absent-minded.
The girl he liked walked with him, but she was absent-minded. He could not help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.
Xu Jianyi didn't say anything. He looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would be unhappy.
"Not bad!" Xia Cola smiled at him and said, "The acting is a little different from what I imagined. Originally, I thought that since I wasn't from the department of martial arts, it would be very difficult to perform. However, after the seniors taught me some key points, I suddenly found that acting isn't as troublesome as I imagined."
Xu Jiayi saw how excited she was at the mention of acting and knew that she really liked it. He couldn't help but express his happiness for her from the bottom of his heart.
However …
He thought of the problem from last time and felt a little sorry. "The last time was an accident, I didn't think of it …"
Xia Keke knew that he was talking about Yang Ziqing. She pursed her lips and smiled, then interrupted him, "It's okay, I know this has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to apologize."
Besides, Yang Ziqing didn't successfully hurt her, so she didn't care.
She knew that it would not be a simple matter to establish herself in the entertainment circle. Yang Ziqing's matter this time was like a family training for her. If such a thing were to happen in the future, perhaps she would be able to face it safely.
When Xia Keke saw Xu Jiayi's thoughtful expression, she could not help but lightly laugh. "What are you thinking so earnestly about?"
"I missed you!"
Hearing this, both of them were stunned.
Xu Jiayi finally regained his senses and chuckled softly. "Do you feel that I've changed a lot recently?"
Xia Keke glanced at him and lightly nodded her head.
Xu Jianyi saw her reaction and didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled her by the hand and walked them to a café in the shopping mall.
Since it was business time, there were very few people in the coffee shop.
The two of them found a table by the window and ordered two cups of coffee before continuing the conversation.
"But, actually, I know that even if I didn't tell you, you would have already known!" The two of them had known each other for so long. If he had really told Xia Keke his thoughts, then wouldn't she be ignoring him in the future?
Originally, he didn't want to express his feelings so quickly, but now that she had entered the showbiz, he couldn't wait to tell her that there was such a temptation around her.
Xia Keke looked at the man opposite her, as if she had guessed what he was going to say, and subconsciously clenched the coffee cup in her hand.
"Actually, I like you. I've liked you for a long time!" Xu Jiayi saw that Xia Cola was staring at her without blinking. Her heart moved slightly before finally clenching her teeth and saying, "I don't know if you saw through my thoughts, but I really do love you."
Xia Keke stared at Xu Jianyi in shock, unable to utter a single word for a long while.
Xu Jianyi patiently waited for a long time, but seeing that she had yet to speak, he became a little flustered in his heart. He hurriedly took her hand. "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? "Cola, you …"
He looked worriedly at Xia Keke and said somewhat helplessly, "Did you get scared by me?"
"I... My mind is in a mess right now! " Xia Keke looked at his outstretched hand, feeling somewhat confused. Helplessly, she said, "I think it's better if we don't talk about this!"
She didn't even know what her current state of mind was.
Chen Xing had often whispered in her ear that he treated her very differently. In truth, she didn't take it to heart, but she had never imagined that Xu Jiayi would actually confess.
Moreover, even if she heard his confession now, she wasn't very surprised in her heart!
"Cola, I... "I know it's rude of me. Can you tell me what you're thinking?" Xu Jiayi saw that Xia Cola had remained silent and felt extremely nervous.
"I... My idea? " Xia Keke met Xu Jiayi's gaze and pursed her lips. After a long moment of hesitation, she said, "I don't know either."
Before this, she had thought she hated him, but now, even after hearing his words, she found that she did not hate him as much as she had imagined.
"You don't know?"
When Xu Jiayi heard Xia Cola's words, he fell into a deep sleep for a long time before being able to utter a single word.
How could he not even know what he was thinking?
However, he didn't have the heart to point at her, so he could only silently feel vexed.
Was he too anxious?
After a moment of contemplation, he finally said, "I don't want to be in a relationship right now. I …"
"Cola, you misunderstood!" When Xu Jiayi heard Xia Cola's words, he chuckled lightly and explained, "I'm telling you this now, not because I want you to promise me now. I just want to tell you that no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side."
No matter what happened between them in the future, he would definitely stay by her side.
Xia Keke's heart shook slightly upon hearing Xu Jianyi's words, and she silently watched him for a long time.
The coffee in front of him had already started to cool down. Xu Jiayi looked at him and asked, "Do you want to change a cup?"
"No need!" Xia Keke shook her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I never thought that you would actually... will like me! "
