Chapter 423: 391 Ying Zijin: Okay [1 update]

His long, powerful arms pinned her against the corner of the sofa, encircling her.

The faint scent of jade and agarwood lingered around her neck and behind her ears, settling on her skin.

Light as it was, the sensation was incredibly strong.

This sudden movement, even for Ying Zijin, caused her thoughts to pause briefly.

She had never been able to predict Fu Yunshen’s next move, not that she had tried.

Ying Zijin slowly lifted her head.

With this elevation, the distance between them narrowed even further.

Their foreheads touched, their breaths intertwined.

So close that even the tips of their noses brushed against each other.

She could clearly see the man’s naturally charming peach-blossom eyes, slightly curved, as if brimming with an entire galaxy.

Inside them was only the reflection of her.

“I heard from Xiu Yu that the boys chasing you at school could form an entire soccer team of eleven,” Fu Yunshen said casually, “They even assigned positions, some as forwards, some as goalkeepers, and they’ve even played matches in secret.”

Ying Zijin’s mind was still momentarily frozen, and after a while, she responded with a single word: “Hmm?”

Xiu Yu had a particular hobby of listing all the boys who had sent her love letters at school and organizing them into teams.

And with this organization, eleven soccer teams were formed.

The boys didn’t have any objections; in fact, they even enjoyed it.

Indeed, they had played matches, which later got them caught by the director of moral education and forced to write self-criticism.

“So I told her yesterday that I’m planning to join the soccer team,” Fu Yunshen’s eyebrows raised with a casual tone, “But I think I’ll be a one-man team, playing both forward and goalkeeper.”

As he spoke, his arm was still around her, not loosening, but tightening even more.

Ying Zijin didn’t speak.

She was just looking at the reflection of herself in his eyes, her gaze becoming slightly blurred.

“And then—” Fu Yunshen began again, his voice low and coaxing, “Yaoyao, look, we’ve known each other for this long, couldn’t you give me the privilege of liking me first?”

“Thump, thump, thump.”

Her heartbeat became clear at this moment.

This was the first time Ying Zijin experienced such a strong heartbeat.

Although she didn’t know what love was,

at this moment, she felt it.

The feeling known as “joy” erupted from the bottom of her heart, like fireworks blooming.

Ying Zijin slightly turned her head to avoid his direct gaze.

Her eyelashes trembled gently, her tone still smooth, but with different emotions: “What do you mean?”

“Falling for someone for the first time, I didn’t know how to tell her,” Fu Yunshen released one hand and slowly caressed her face, laughing softly, “I never went to school, and in other things, I’ve learned on my own.”

“But when it comes to liking you, I’ve asked many people for advice, afraid to make a single mistake.”

This was the first time he had uttered the words “I like you.”

“Perhaps it started as teasing you, but later, every word I said was from the heart,” Fu Yunshen paused, speaking softly, “I only treat well those I like.”

“I should not be this delighted by this world, but then you arrived.”

He had thought that he would never say such things to anyone in his life.

Even without a loved one, he didn’t care.

No one requires that one must live this life with a partner.

To him, it was better to be alone than to settle.

But then, she arrived.

Afterwards, his world was filled with light.

Warm and dazzling.

Ying Zijin never knew that just listening to him talk could sound so pleasant.

Her heartbeat slowed down from its wild race on a freeway to a gentle calm: “Serious?”

“Serious, very serious,” Fu Yunshen slowly tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, laughing again, his voice low, “I wanted to kiss you right away, but you didn’t agree, so I held back.”

He respected her.

Even with a strong urge inside, he would restrain himself.

Ying Zijin pondered for a moment before speaking: “I—”

“Yaoyao, no rush,” Fu Yunshen’s finger pressed on her lips, his voice amused with a rising inflection, “How about you let me chase you, how does that sound?”

“The pleasures enjoyed by other girls, our Yaoyao shouldn’t miss out on.”

Hearing this, Ying Zijin’s body relaxed a little.

Her phoenix-like eyes lit up: “Okay, then try chasing me, I’m quite difficult to pursue.”

After saying this, the girl’s hand climbed onto his shoulder.
