Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Chen Xiaoqian, Be My Girlfriend
Translator: 549690339
Xiao Qian’s question was sharp, and the room fell silent.
Yu Minglang put down his steamed bun, adjusted his sitting position to sit up straighter, his expression was like that of someone about to go to battle.
His aura emanated, his face grave.
Xiao Qian tightened her grip on the porridge bowl. If this guy dared to digress instead of addressing the real issue, like when he used irrelevant excuses after shattering the glass with his slingshot, she would strike him with this!
“Chen Xiaoqian, I’ve thought about this for a long time, and you know my personal circumstances.”
“…” What do you mean by ‘I know? I’ve known you for two lifetimes, and I didn’t know that you watch horror movies and like Humor Master, or that you tell cold jokes!
”1 think we are compatible in many ways.” He was nervous!
“…” Where’s the compatibility?
“Our values are also quite similar.”
“What do you mean ’similar’?” More and more off the point!
“You really like watching horror movies, and I like them too.”
“…” You even watch Dragon Ball, which I don’t!
Xiao Qian was already burnt to a crisp inside by him.
She discovered that in her past life, she really didn’t know Yu Minglang well. She had no idea that beneath his icy and taciturn exterior, there was such a nonsensical heart!
“Psychological master Sigmund Freud believes that there is an innate drive for aggression and death deep within everyone’s psyche, a desire to destroy everything and find true peace. For example, when standing on a high place, some people may have the urge to jump. Therefore, watching horror movies can relieve people’s stress, so this hobby is acceptable.”
“…” Wanna talk psychology with a psychology doctor? Are you looking for trouble?
At this moment, Yu Minglang was extremely nervous inside, but as a sniper with exceptional psychological quality, he remained calm and confidently entered the topic.
“But some things in horror movies are too close to reality, such as mirrors, hair, and telephones which are all around us. You associate them with the movies, causing fear, so—”
“What are you trying to say?!” Xiao Qian’s hands were already gripping the porridge bowl tightly. She really wanted to smash his face with it!
“What I mean is—” he took a deep breath, “in order to not let you become afraid, I can watch horror movies with you. Chen Xiaoqian, will you be my girlfriend?”
Xiao Qian’s hands loosened, and her whole body seemed to be paralyzed.
How could she describe the feeling of being confessed to by Yu Minglang?
It was like being held by the neck over a volcano, feeling inexplicable agitation, then being pushed down but not encountering the expected heat. Instead, there was a cool autumn breeze blowing across her heart, her entire being floating – yet she felt incredibly comfortable. It was like the comfortable relaxation of a successful hypnotic trance.
Although she felt that she shouldn’t have had that reaction, she should have controlled her emotions, and she should have slapped him for his off-topic remark-
But if a person’s reactions could all be controlled by willpower, there wouldn’t be so many mental illnesses.
At this moment, she felt genuinely comfortable.
As if starving for many days and suddenly presented with her favorite food.
As if a person in the desert experiencing a refreshing oasis.
A deep sense of satisfaction spread from the bottom of her heart, a sensation that every girl should experience at least once.
She wanted to resist, but she really couldn’t…
As Xiao Qian remained silent for a long time, Yu Minglang continued speaking.
“My career is very special, I can’t always be by your side. It’s just as well that you’re going to college. Let’s work hard together. Give me six years, and my life plan includes six years of grass-roots training. After that, though I can’t guarantee a nine-to-five life, I won’t leave you in the dark for long periods of time like I do now.”
“You’re really thinking far ahead…” Xiao Qian didn’t believe that he could keep his promise for six years.
In her past life, she met him nine years later, when he still held an important position in the special forces and rushed off at a single phone call – even if he had already started undressing, he would immediately put his clothes back on. This was the thing Xiao Qian hated most about him in her past life.
At that time, having a boyfriend felt like not having one at all. So why be together? To find a man in the army was to fall in love with loneliness.
“Actually, my initial plan was to train at the grass-roots level for ten years, but when I made that plan, you hadn’t appeared yet.”
His simple and honest words struck Xiao Qian’s heart.
She hadn’t appeared yet…
So, in his past life, he really had spent so many years at the grass-roots level.
She didn’t want to be moved, but she really couldn’t help it – it touched her heart.
“I calculated the best child-bearing age for women, which should be between 23 and 30. Six years from now, your age will be just right, and I don’t want you to have a hard time raising a baby alone.”
Books say that when confessing to a girl, it’s best to share a beautiful future!
“Who wants to have a baby with you!” Xiao Qian’s face turned red. She swore that as an old woman with a mature mindset, she shouldn’t blush so easily. But what could she do when faced with Yu Minglang, who was even better at playing King Bomb than her?
This guy was simply holding back until he made a huge impact!
Before, he was mumbling and stuttering, unable to speak a complete sentence. Today, he had turned into a love-saint, even talking about having children!
“Yu Minglang, face is a precious thing, can’t you have some decency?”
“I once mentioned that I am not a good person. Our values are too different and we are not a suitable match.” Xiao Qian stood up, ready to leave.
Yu Minglang stretched out his leg and tripped her. Xiao Qian didn’t expect him to be so shameless!
Yu Minglang smoothly pulled Xiao Qian into his arms, his movements natural and his face still showing a righteous expression.
He looked so honest that Xiao Qian almost believed that her fall was an accident and had nothing to do with Yu Minglang!
“Let go of me!”
“I won’t let go!” Why would he let go of someone he had set his sights on?
Mother Yu’s evaluation of her son was spot-on – once he latched on to something, he wouldn’t let go!
“Yu Minglang, I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Why must you bother me, can’t you find someone else? What do you want?”
She couldn’t let go of her past mistakes. Seeing him was like a reminder of what a failure of a mother she had been.. So why wouldn’t Yu Minglang let her go? Why was he even more persistent than in his past life?
