The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
The teasing smile at the corner of his mouth has subsided, and his exquisite three-dimensional facial features have shown the coldness they should have, making his expression no longer frivolous, but serious.
Twelve points of seriousness.
Huo Xu looked into her eyes and repeated what he just said in a serious and firm tone, "I like you."
The sharp tinnitus swept through the eardrums again, and Yu Ruanruan's world suddenly became quiet, leaving only the gradually unbalanced heartbeat and increasingly heavy breathing.
She always wanted to escape, never dared to face the fact, and always deceived herself and others.
finally……
Finally it’s here…
Huo Xu said that he liked her.
The elevator slowly landed on the first floor, the door opened, and a resident outside walked in. Seeing Yu Ruoruan and Huo Xu standing face to face but not getting out, they glanced at each other strangely several times, and finally walked into the elevator.
The man went out on the seventh floor, and finally only Yu Ruanruan and Huo Xu were left in the elevator.
Yu Ruoruan reached out and pressed the 1st floor button and closed the elevator door. Her whole body was no longer as hot as before, but began to feel cold.
When she was unsure of his intentions, she could still lie to herself, and she could comfort herself, thinking that he was just guilty, possessive, and just wanted to win.
But when he was as arrogant as he was, he finally blurted out those four words.
Some problems have to be faced and examined.
The first thing she has to examine is her heart. Has she really let go of Huo Xu? The answer is, no, her brain says no, but her heart can't help it.
The second thing to examine is that in this world, she has taken the script of a vicious female supporting role, and the harm Huo Xu indirectly caused her in her previous life. Can she really let go and accept his love without any distractions? The answer is, she can't.
arrive.
That's why it's even more sad.
She could no longer deceive herself and enjoy the sweet time with him.
"what do you like about me?"
She looked up at him and asked him the same question he had asked her back then.
It was the third year since she came to the Yu family. At the birthday party three years ago, he gave her a piece of cake, and she rekindled her hope in life.
She desperately wanted to integrate into the world of wealthy people, and she just wanted to be qualified to match him one day.
That year, accompanied by her mother, she walked into Qiangyuan for the first time.
The Rose Garden was not the Rose Garden yet. At that time, the Rose Garden was full of lilies. When she learned that it was Cheng Cheng who liked lilies and begged Huo Xu to plant lilies in this yard, she felt very uncomfortable.
They were only 17 years old at that time, the age when love first blossomed, but Cheng Cheng had already secretly started a relationship with Shen Mo behind his parents' back.
She obviously likes silence and does everything with silence in mind.
But when Huo Xu was nice to her, she never refused or resisted.
Yu Ruanruan also fell in love for the first time, and the first man she fell in love with was Huo Xu, who was the only one who handed her a cake when she was ignored at her first birthday party when she first joined a wealthy family.
In her heart, Huo Xu is the most shining man in the world, and he is as bright as the moonlight in her heart.
How could she tolerate that he liked a girl who had someone else in mind?
How could she tolerate her Bai Yueguang being treated so contemptuously?
However, she still didn't dare.
She didn't dare to say anything bad about Cheng Cheng in front of him, because her heart was full of him, and she knew that when she liked someone, she couldn't bear to hear someone say something bad about him.
Therefore, she could only work hard to establish her presence in front of him, and she wanted to attract him on her own.
She wanted to tell him that he didn't have to just stare at the half-hearted Cheng Cheng. In fact, she, Yu Ruanruan, was also very good.
Although lilies are elegant, they are not as lively as roses.
If he wants, she can give him her heart.
However, when she stayed up all night, pricking countless bloody holes on her fingers from rose thorns, and finally made a beautiful rose flower arrangement, and brought it to him with longing, he slapped her to the ground.
"Are you going to ask grandpa to arrange for you to get engaged to me?"
Huo Xu looked at her with such indifference and disgust, as if she was the filthiest thing in the world.
She obviously fell in love with him because of the tenderness in his eyes, but when she tried to get closer, he raised the spikes all over his body and stabbed her hard.
"What do you like about me?" At that time, he looked at her with cruel and almost cold eyes and asked this question.
Now, Yu Ruanruan also wants to throw the same question to him.
Looking at the eyes that were exactly the same as before, Yu Ruoruan's heart suddenly hurt.
It's obviously the same eyes, why can they show different looks? Are they still facing her?
Huo Xu was startled.
He gradually remembered that incident back then.
That year, my grandfather attended a banquet and almost suffocated because he accidentally swallowed a whole red date and it got stuck in his throat.
Yu Chengcheng found him immediately. Huo Xu had studied medicine after all, so he successfully helped his grandfather escape the danger.
Unexpectedly, when grandpa woke up, he said that this was Ruanruan's credit and promised to fulfill Ruanruan's wish.
Huo Xu admitted that he did not investigate carefully at that time. Based on a few words he had with Yu Chengcheng, he mistakenly thought that his grandfather had a bad memory and had mistakenly identified the wrong person.
That's why he was so angry when he learned that his grandfather asked him to get engaged to Ruanruan.
He misunderstood her.
They thought she was a vain woman and that she took advantage of the relationship between the Huo family and the Yu family to take away the credit from Yu Chengcheng.
Later, it was not until the engagement was over that he realized that his grandfather had remembered correctly. It was Ruanruan who first discovered that something had happened to his grandfather. Before Cheng Cheng called him over, Ruanruan had actually given first aid, but she was too weak to save him.
A few seconds later, I went out to move the stool, but I just missed it.
After knowing the truth, he never asked to break off the engagement.
But now that I think about it, I was really a bad person.
Why did he subjectively judge a person's quality without investigating? Why did he hurt Ruanruan with his words and didn't apologize immediately after knowing the truth?
Maybe it’s because I can’t bear to lose face? Or maybe I’m proud of my favor.
After all, at that time, all she saw was him.
She loved him so passionately, but he refused to believe that this passion was pure.
How ridiculous.
So, now, no matter how she escapes, no matter how she stings and hurts him.
He deserves it all.
He won't complain, but he will never give up.
"Do I need a reason to like you? Just like when I asked you this question, didn't you also fail to answer it?"
Huo Xu lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Ruanruan deeply, covering up the sharp sting and guilt in his heart, leaving only a smile mask. He reached out and scratched the tip of the girl's nose, "There is no reason, and,
I wasn’t taking advantage of you just now, I was touching your bones. Don’t you want to learn boxing?”
