Chapter 728: 728
As soon as she asked this question, Shi Nianyao’s heart started racing and jumping out of control
It thumped erratically .
She did not dare to raise her eyes and look at Mo Xicheng, so she stared at the ground with a lowered head . Her attention, however, was fully and entirely focused on Mo Xicheng .
He, on the other hand, was stunned by her question and didn’t know what to say .
This was the first time in her life she made this sort of confession .
The anxiety and unease she felt right now was torturous and she thought she would go crazy .
Was that a yes or a no?!
She bit her lip, wishing that time would go faster so that she could hear an answer .
Yet she also wished that time would stop still right there and then, so that she wouldn’t hear an answer that was different from what she wanted .
After what seemed like forever, Mo Xicheng still had not answered, making Shi Nianyao wish that she had never asked .
She coughed once and looked up . She was about to say something when she saw Mo Xicheng frowning in confusion . He tried to clarify it, “What do you mean?”
What did she mean?
Shi Nianyao almost died .
Wasn’t it simple and straightforward enough?
She said directly, “What I meant was that I like you . Can I be your girlfriend?”
The moment she said this, her face turned bright scarlet .
She bit her lip and gathered all her courage to raise her eyes and look straight at Mo Xicheng .
As though she wouldn’t give up if she didn’t get an answer .
However, following this, Mo Xicheng was quiet for a long time .
He remained expressionless, and his eyes were gloomy and deep, as always, like doorways to a million things .
For some reason, when she saw his expression, she suddenly felt as though she knew what he was going to say .
She looked away quickly and tried to change the topic, “Look, the sky is beautiful tonight . ”
However, Mo Xicheng finally spoke, “I don’t really intend to date anyone at the moment . ”
Shi Nianyao halted for a moment .
She felt her heart, which had been full of hope just a moment ago, turn cold as though it had been tossed into the wintry wilderness .
She felt like she had been drenched with a basin of icy cold water .
She gave Mo Xicheng a startled look and held the gaze for some time before the truth sank into her . She had been rejected .
But… no matter what, she had to keep her composure in front of her idol .
Shi Nianyao gulped and then managed to squeeze a smile, that looked even worse than crying . “Oh, well maybe when you have that intention, you can let me know . ”
Saying this was just a way for her to ease herself out of the situation .
Being such an intelligent girl, how could she have missed how Mo Xicheng was trying to create a distance between them?
His gaze darkening, he hesitated for a moment before replying, “Ok . ”
Then Shi Nianyao said, “I just remembered . I have to look for Chief Editor Lian Lian to discuss something . Why don’t you leave first? ‘ll walk back to look for them . ”
There were streets with stores and street sellers all around, so it was quite safe .
Besides, the girl was on the verge of tears . Given her stubbornness and pride, she probably did not want him to be around to see the predicament she was in .
Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and said, “Ok . ”
She then turned and slowly walked back in the direction of the hotpot restaurant .
The sky had darkened and the lights had dimmed .
No one could really see the expression on her face, but Shi Nianyao felt as though she was choking on a huge wad of cotton wool stuck in her chest .
She tried hard to suppress her own emotions, telling herself not to cry . Otherwise, it would be just too embarrassing .
It was just a confession and a rejection, what was there to cry about?
