Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Proving She Likes Him
“Show me,” Li Beijue didn’t even think about it, his rosy thin lips briefly met as his gaze tightly locked onto her face, “Chi Enen, show me, and I will believe you!”
“…” She had thought of ten million ways to prove it, but she had never expected he would ask for this kind of proof.
How do you show someone that you like them?
Liking someone is a feeling, not an action. If liking someone was like eating, where you could prove it by eating a lot, she wouldn’t mind eating more to show him. But how do you show liking?
Could she dig out her heart and show him whether or not it liked him?
Chi Enen took a deep breath, even if she really had the courage to dig out her heart to prove her feelings, a heart that did nothing but beat wouldn’t show whether she liked him or not. So, digging it out wouldn’t prove anything, right?
Then how should she show her liking for him?
Chi Enen was truly stumped by this request.
She had always thought proving you liked someone was easy, almost as natural as feeling it, and that the other person could just feel it. That there was some kind of telepathy between hearts, where you didn’t need to say anything for the other person to understand. But now it seemed she had been too naive, at least this telepathy thing didn’t work on Li Beijue.
He simply hadn’t felt her affection.
So what could she do to make him feel her affection? Speaking wouldn’t do, she had just spoken, and he didn’t believe her.
But to show him?
How should she show him?
Chi Enen was at her wits’ end, she had never encountered such a vexing problem, so vexing that she was completely out of ideas. It was as if she had found a solution when she suddenly bit her lower lip, mustered her courage, and walked toward him.
Li Beijue had been paying close attention to her reaction, watching her freeze on the spot because of his request, not reacting for a long time. His heart already felt as if it were being stabbed by a knife, the pain nearly suffocating him, on the brink of losing control.
At the same time, he was mocking himself for his previous attempts at pursuing her without reciprocation.
Just as he was torn between staying and spiraling out of control or walking away and calming himself down, Chi Enen had already reached him, her face suddenly flushed as she grabbed his arm and, in a mosquito-like voice, said, “Li Beijue, lower your neck, I can’t reach.”
Can’t reach what?
While his mind was still trying to understand her meaning, his body obediently lowered its neck.
Chi Enen, looking at the magnified handsome face in front of her, suddenly rose onto her tiptoes and delivered a kiss.
It was a kiss as light as a dragonfly touching the water, tentative and shy, a pure peck that was nothing more than lips brushing against lips, hardly a real kiss.
However, this incredibly light and innocent kiss sent an electric jolt through Li Beijue.
His thin lips felt a soft touch, carrying Chi Enen’s unique fragrance, and in that moment, he was doomed to be entranced!
An indescribable feeling flooded his heart.
His back stiffened, and he was unable to respond.
He didn’t respond?
Chi Enen was extremely embarrassed, she had pressed her lips to his and quickly pulled away, but her bright eyes firmly met his as she repeated, “Li Beijue, I like you. Just now was my proof. I don’t know if that’s enough to prove it, but I like you, I know it myself.”
