Chapter 1087: Chapter 306: Mismatched Lovers and Discovery
"..." Li Yan broke into a slight sweat.
"If you don’t spend this special day with her, she’ll definitely be upset. So, you don’t need to accompany us tonight, go ahead and have a date with your girlfriend!"
After Matsushima Kui finished speaking, Shinohara Mirai chuckled lightly again, "Xiao Di, and Ying, how will you divide your time? It’s up to you."
Li Yan sighed softly, and hugged them a little tighter with one arm around each. "Thank you for being so understanding and considerate!"
"Go on! Go plan your date!"
...
Li Yan originally intended to spend the night with Zhang Yurong, but the two of them brought it up earlier, sparing him from having to wait until evening or awkwardly bring it up.
However, after going out, he started feeling hesitant again.
Hesitant about whether or not to see Yu Xiaodi!
According to Matsushima Kui, Xiao Di might have picked up on something regarding last night’s events, just by reading into his expressions and demeanor. Regardless of her experience, girls are very keen and attentive when it comes to this sort of sixth sense. If they’re not together, it would be fine, but once they are, if he doesn’t cover up well, it’s easy to get found out.
And if he goes to see her now, he won’t be able to spend the evening with Zhang Yurong.
After hesitating, he decided to make a phone call first.
Before the call connected, Li Yan was contemplating the answer in his heart. If Xiao Di had guessed it, what would her reaction be? Would it be as intense as when Yurong found out about Xiao Di, or would it be more like Huang Ying last night, with a release of pressure?
"I received the flowers, I like them very much, thank you." As soon as the call connected, Xiao Di quickly said with a smile.
Li Yan’s expression stiffened.
Knowing Yu Xiaodi, he could sense something was off. By how she addressed him, when she’s feeling relaxed and cheerful, she usually jokingly calls him ’Uncle.’ When she’s purposely teasing, she calls him ’Yan gě gé.’ But when she uses ’Li Yan,’ or just ’you’ without any formal address, it’s usually for more serious and earnest conversations.
Even though he could hear her laughter, there was something detectable in her words that felt somewhat forced, masking real happiness.
"The flowers aren’t the main thing..." Li Yan replied softly.
"Hmm?" Xiao Di didn’t quite catch on immediately, then added, "Oh! Yes, and the chocolates, haha, you really are thoughtful. But you didn’t deliver them yourself, that’s not very sincere!"
"Is there... something you want to tell me? Go ahead, I’m listening. I planned to come see you, but I figured it might be even harder for you to speak in person."
"Huh? No, you... I..." Yu Xiaodi couldn’t figure out how to cover it up.
"Haha, I know you, I can sense that there’s something on your mind. Just say it! Whatever we can solve, you’ll feel better after saying it. And no matter what, I won’t leave you."
"Really...?" Xiao Di faintly uttered two words.
Li Yan’s words didn’t relieve her; they made her feel even more pressured. She was afraid he’d say, ’Since you already know, I won’t hide it from you. This is who I am, I’m not right for you, you should find someone who truly loves you.’ Whether it came from his own heart, the pressure of her parents, or some other excuse, she would find it unbearable.
Breaking up on Valentine’s Day, could there be any worse day than this?
Until the last line, ’No matter what, I won’t leave you!’ The blindness of love is that a single phrase like this often settles one’s heart.
"Should I say it? You better not go back on your word!"
"Go ahead!" Li Yan would rather hear her express herself directly than endure with repressed feelings.
"And you can’t be mad!"
"Mad? Of course not." It was his fault, how could he dare be angry?
"Actually... yesterday when I said my mom texted me asking me to come home, it was an excuse."
"Of course I knew, it was a kind lie meant to help me."
"But... I didn’t actually go home then."
Li Yan understood a bit more.
Having said this much, Yu Xiaodi became a bit more direct: "Originally, I thought you’d go upstairs for a while, and then you’d find an excuse to send Huang Ying home and leave. In that case, I could open a room first, and once you sent her home, we could chat... We haven’t had a chance to chat alone in so long..."
Before the holiday, there wasn’t a chance, during the holiday, New Year’s, even though they met after returning for the premiere night, it was with Li Jie, without a moment alone for intimate conversation. For a girl in love, this undoubtedly felt regretful.
"I just kept waiting in the lobby for you to come down. But... it took a long time for you to come down, and when I saw you... you looked very close, so I didn’t..." (To be continued, for more details please visit www.qidian.com, more Chapters, support the author, support legit reading!)
