Chapter 930: Chapter 665: You Like This Style? You Should’ve Said So—I’m Great at Hiding It (Fu Sheng Mingxu) (2)
She was wearing a plaid shirt with a pair of jeans, perfectly outlining her slender figure. Her two long legs were beautifully shaped; you could no longer see any trace of the injury from months ago.
Fu Sheng walked past them,
"I’ll go downstairs first. Don’t forget to come down and eat."
Then she just walked down the stairs like that.
Ben knew she had always taken her leg rehab very seriously, but actually seeing her walk no different from an ordinary person, even steadier than most, still felt remarkable.
He knew she had put in far more effort than most people, and endured much more pain.
That day, when he was passing by the rehab center, he went in to visit Fu Sheng’s rehab doctor. The doctor told Ben that Fu Sheng looked frail, but she was much stronger than most adult men here!
Rehab that was supposed to take half a year, she had finished in less than four months.
"I can tell... she’s in a bit of a hurry about something. I don’t know what she’s anxious about, and when I ask, she doesn’t say."
The doctor had said that, and Ben had always remembered it, except that period happened to be when things between the two of them were starting to subtly change.
Ben had never asked either.
Ye Han was standing right in front of Ben. She watched with her own eyes as Ben’s gaze followed Liang Fusong all the way, followed her until her figure disappeared at the turn of the stairs...
"Ming Xu... Brother?"
"Huh?"
Ye Han licked her lips, her fists clenching again. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Ben as she quietly asked,
"Do you... like her?"
"..."
Ye Han bit her lip, looking clearly nervous.
"I heard Brother Minglang call her Sister-in-law Fu Sheng in private... but Auntie told me she’s just lodging at your place, and that you and she don’t have any sort of relationship..."
"..."
Yeah, he and She didn’t have any relationship.
"So... can you tell me the truth, do you... like her?"
Do I like her?
His heart was beating restlessly out of rhythm.
Looking at Ye Han in front of him, they were practically the same age. One was the daughter of a famous author, well-bred from childhood and receiving higher education, while the other...
Had been drifting from place to place since childhood, knew nothing... and wasn’t good at anything...
What kind of future was waiting for Liang Fusong? He couldn’t see it at all. Could Fu Sheng herself... see it?
"Ming Xu, I’m not speaking as your aunt, but as your friend. There’s something I want to tell you: if you want to obtain the best things in this world, you definitely have to endure hardship countless times more than others..."
If you want the best, it will definitely be the hardest...
Maybe...
Ye Han waited and waited but still didn’t get Ben’s answer. She anxiously lifted her head...
"I do li..."
Ye Han almost saw the answer forming on Ben’s lips, and her heart sank. But in less than half a second, his words veered,
"I don’t like her."
Ben finished in a low voice, his gaze falling on the landing, just in time to see the shadow cast from the turn of the stairs... disappear from his line of sight.
That was close...
Ben thought to himself.
Only, he didn’t stop to think carefully about why he just couldn’t let Her hear the truth.
In this story of three people, two hearts sank, while one heart, because of Ben’s heavy "I don’t like her," started beating excitedly again.
Ye Han tilted her head up to look at Ben,
"Then... there’s something I want to tell you."
"Huh?"
Ben was still a bit dazed, not fully back to himself yet. Meeting Ye Han’s eyes filled with joy, he felt slightly out of it.
"Just now... I kissed you."
"Huh?! Did you?"
Ben was startled.
"..."
Ye Han’s expression grew even more embarrassed. She nodded. "Yeah."
Ben hurried to think back, recalling just now...
"Then... that doesn’t count, right?"
Ben blurted out, forcing out two dry laughs.
Ye Han’s face flushed red,
"What I wanted to give you... was that..."
Ben blinked, then looked at Ye Han. He cleared his throat and quickly said,
"Um... Miss Ye, I think... maybe you’ve misunderstood me a bit. We..."
"Brother Ming Xu, can you let me finish first? After I’m done, then you can talk, okay?"
"..."
Ben just felt awkward all over just standing there. The girl in front of him—what she was thinking, what kind of feelings she had—was practically written all over her face.
He, Ben, wasn’t an idiot or some emotionally clueless fool; of course he could see it.
Yet this girl’s temperament was so gentle and soft, and she looked like a good girl. Plus, her dad and his father got along very well.
Both emotionally and logically, he couldn’t really treat her coldly...
Ben didn’t respond. Ye Han took a deep breath and then started speaking on her own,
"After our blind date last time... I didn’t know what you thought of me, but... I think... I fell in love with you at first sight."
Buzz...
Love at first sight?!
Ben really didn’t believe in that bullshit called love at first sight...
Love at first sight—wasn’t that just what they called being visual creatures...
"Miss Ye, you really don’t know much about me. I..."
"Brother Ming Xu, didn’t you just agree to let me finish first?"
"..."
Ben took a deep breath and quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Ye Han seemed to have mustered all her courage. She lifted her chin,
"I know... Brother Ming Xu, your feelings for me might not be as strong as mine for you. But I just think you’re really great. In every aspect I can see, you attract me! I just feel like I really, really like you!"
She rushed through it in one go, then took a big breath,
"I’ve never been in a relationship. Even though there were boys chasing me in college, I never found that ’right feeling’ person..."
"Brother Ming Xu, when I saw you, I just felt... you’re the one I’ve been waiting for all along!"
"..."
Ben nervously licked his lips. This little girl was only this young—what did she know about the so‑called ’right feeling’?
"I really like your mom too, and your dad, and the books your dad writes. I bought all of them; I’m a loyal reader of your dad!"
"Brother Ming Xu, I know you’re a soldier. Before the blind date, my dad told me that if the two of us really worked out... then I’d be a Military Wife..."
"Being a Military Wife... is harder than being a woman in an ordinary marriage."
"Before the blind date, I was actually pretty resistant to this idea in my heart. But after going on the blind date with you, I changed my mind. I just felt... if it’s you, then even being a Military Wife, I’d be willing."
Ye Han’s watery eyes rippled slightly.
Ben hadn’t taken Ye Han’s words that seriously at first, but he just listened, with a bit of impatience in his chest... listening...
And he actually felt a bit shocked...
This girl... had thought this much, this far ahead...
"I know that talking like this is very unreserved of me. I told my mom I really like you, and my mom told me I can’t act like I like you too much, otherwise... you won’t take me very seriously..."
