Chapter 909: Chapter 909: The Little Romance of the Young Couple
It turned out that on the night they returned from the Panhu family, there was a small misunderstanding between the couple.
Regarding why Qin Sisi’s lips were so red, Xiao Meng couldn’t figure it out, but Yun Cheng guessed it.
He glanced at Qin Sisi’s crimson lips, imagining what had happened between her and Ye You, then secretly peeked at Xiao Meng, feeling an itch in his heart.
The two hadn’t been together for long and hadn’t engaged in overly intimate behavior. When alone, Yun Cheng naturally harbored some secret desires, but feared being too abrupt with his pure-hearted lover, suppressing them forcefully.
Maybe influenced by Qin Sisi and Ye You that day, Yun Cheng suddenly wanted to try.
After sending Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng back to Tianyue Mountain, Qin Sisi went straight to her room, busy absorbing the Spiritual Power from the Magic Crystal Stones, and just as Xiao Meng was about to enter the house, Yun Cheng stopped her.
"What’s the matter? It’s late, time to sleep," Xiao Meng yawned and mumbled.
Yun Cheng hesitated for a long time before whispering: "That... don’t you want to know why Sister Sisi’s lips are so red?"
Xiao Meng glanced at Yun Cheng, saying, "Yes, but you told me not to ask, do you know why?"
Yun Cheng nodded, his voice very low as he replied: "I know."
After saying these two words, Yun Cheng felt his face starting to heat up, but since it was night, Xiao Meng did not notice.
"Then tell me why," Xiao Meng thought Yun Cheng really wanted to help her solve the puzzle.
Struggling for a while and mustering his courage, Yun Cheng said, "Close your eyes, and I’ll tell you."
"Why?" Xiao Meng asked curiously.
Yun Cheng, feeling troubled, touched his nose and pulling Xiao Meng’s wrist, said: "Stop asking, just close your eyes."
Xiao Meng blinked her eyes and obediently closed them.
Yun Cheng’s gaze moved from Xiao Meng’s long eyelashes down to her petite nose, finally resting on her crystal-clear red lips.
The timing was just right, but Yun Cheng became timid, fearing Xiao Meng might blame him later. It took him a long while to gather his courage and slowly lean in.
Little did he know, Xiao Meng, after waiting a long time without anything happening, couldn’t help but slightly open her eyes to sneak a peek, and saw Yun Cheng, very close, and still moving toward her.
Xiao Meng panicked for a moment and instinctively pushed Yun Cheng, exclaiming, "What are you doing?"
Yun Cheng, completely focused and unguarded, was taken by surprise and staggered backwards several steps before he could stabilize himself, looking nervously and helplessly at Xiao Meng, thinking that her strong reaction must mean she was angry.
"I... I..." Yun Cheng hurriedly tried to explain, scratching his head in desperation, "I just wanted to tell you why Sister Sisi’s lips are so red."
"Why? Make it clear." Xiao Meng was somewhat annoyed by Yun Cheng’s stammering.
Yun Cheng lowered his head and said softly, "It’s... it was just like just now."
Xiao Meng was initially stunned, then thought for a moment that Yun Cheng seemed to have wanted to kiss her. Could it be that Qin Sisi’s lips’ special redness was because of...
Having finally figured out the implication, Xiao Meng covered her mouth in both shock and embarrassment.
Oh my, if that was the case, she had asked Qin Sisi such an embarrassing question in front of several men, how mortifying!
Xiao Meng immediately turned red and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, no longer caring to speak with Yun Cheng. She turned and ran back to her room, slamming the door shut with a "bang".
"Hey..." Yun Cheng called out, reaching out his arm trying to hold her back, but Xiao Meng’s figure was already behind the door.
Yun Cheng stood outside the door feeling dejected for a long time. It was over, it was all because he was too impatient. Now Xiao Meng was angry. What was he to do?
It wasn’t until the lights in Xiao Meng’s room went out that Yun Cheng returned to his dorm at Tianyang Mountain with an uneasy heart.
That night, both of them had a restless sleep.
The next day, Xiao Meng waited for Yun Cheng to take the initiative to speak to her, but he was afraid she was still angry and wouldn’t listen to him, always hesitant.
The two of them didn’t speak at all the whole day yesterday. Xiao Meng then thought that Yun Cheng was angry because she had rejected him, feeling wronged and thinking Yun Cheng was being petty.
After listening to Xiao Meng, Qin Sisi understood it wasn’t a big deal at all, just a small misunderstanding. It only needed one person to take the initiative to say something, or even just a slight smile, to untangle this knot.
After all, the two of them hadn’t been together for long and hadn’t experienced much together, so their trust in each other wasn’t very high yet.
Qin Sisi comforted Xiao Meng, saying, "I don’t think it’s that Yun Cheng doesn’t want to talk to you, but rather he’s afraid you’re still angry and dares not speak."
It must be said that after experiencing eighty-one ghosts, Qin Sisi’s ability to guess people’s thoughts was quite strong.
"Am I that bad-tempered?" Xiao Meng pouted, feeling aggrieved.
Qin Sisi patted her shoulder gently and said, "But you didn’t say anything, and he wouldn’t know, right? You have to speak up; nobody can read minds."
Xiao Meng fell silent, sinking into thought.
Qin Sisi looked up ahead, seeing Yun Cheng standing by a big tree not too far away, waiting for them. After thinking for a moment, she pulled Xiao Meng over.
"Yun Cheng, Xiao Meng has something to say to you." Qin Sisi helped them break the stalemate, then left Xiao Meng there and quickly walked toward the cafeteria.
Xiao Meng watched Qin Sisi’s departing figure in stunned silence, thinking this was a bit too abrupt and forceful!
Yun Cheng stood in front of Xiao Meng, looking at her with a complex expression, his heart very nervous, his hands alternately loosening and clenching.
Xiao Meng awkwardly remained silent for a while, unable to bear the atmosphere and finally took the initiative to ask, "Why are you not talking to me?"
Yun Cheng hurriedly replied, "No, no, I haven’t been ignoring you, I’m just... just... afraid that you’re still angry at me."
Xiao Meng gave Yun Cheng a reproachful look. So Qin Sisi was right after all.
She slightly lowered her head and said softly, "I’m not angry."
Her voice was very soft, but to Yun Cheng, it sounded like hopeful spring thunder. He grabbed Xiao Meng’s hands excitedly and asked, "Really? You’re really not angry?"
Xiao Meng nodded, her cheeks turning a bit redder, and explained softly, "I just felt embarrassed asking Sister Sisi that question."
Yun Cheng shook his head vigorously, saying, "No, no, not knowing isn’t a crime, it’s okay, Sister Sisi isn’t mad at you, right?"
Xiao Meng thought about it, and it seemed Qin Sisi indeed hadn’t shown any displeasure. Maybe she really was overthinking!
The two of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but start laughing after a while.
