187 Chapter 186, That Won’t Do, My Heart Will Ache
“One weekend, I sent Yuanyuan to Uncle Qin’s place. At the entrance of your neighborhood, I saw you and a man returning from the outside. He seemed to have handed you something thin. After he left, you put that thing in your bag very carefully. It seemed to be very precious, afraid that you would break it.”
Li Yong still remembered Qin Xiaomin’s expression very clearly.
If it wasn’t a gift from the man she liked, how could she acted like that?
Qin Xiaomin didn’t remember at first. She frowned and kept thinking about when she had been like this.
!!
Suddenly, she remembered.
She turned around, then looked at Li Yong with a cold smile. “Li Yong, are you stupid? You only saw how much I value the things he gave me. Did you see how I treated him? Did I look at him more? Did I say more to him?”
Looking at Qin Xiaomin’s excited expression, he carefully thought about Qin Xiaomin’s words.
Li Yong said in disbelief, “Could it be…”
Could it be that that person was not Qin Xiaomin’s boyfriend?
But why did Qin Xiaomin value that man’s gift so much?
“That person is just an ordinary friend of mine. He works in a movie theater. During that time, a movie was released, and it was quite popular. I didn’t manage to buy any tickets, so I asked him to get two tickets for me!” Qin Xiaomin snorted coldly.
“I was going to see it with a pig, but that pig didn’t contact me at all. Not only that, I didn’t know that the pig was right in front of me when I got the movie tickets!” Qin Xiaomin gritted her teeth and looked at Li Yong.
If Li Yong had gone up to her and told her clearly, things might have been different!
Hearing Qin Xiaomin’s words, Li Yong’s face was full of surprise!
It took a long time before he finally reacted.
So, the pig that Qin Xiaomin was talking about… No, that person, was it him?
Could it be that Qin Xiaomin also liked him?
“I heard your family is also arranging a blind date for you. How have you been recently? Have you found anyone that you’re satisfied with?” Qin Xiaomin’s mood calmed down slightly. She pretended to ask nonchalantly as she sat down on the chair again.
Li Yong hesitated for a moment before sitting down too.
“My parents planned to arrange a blind date for me, but I’ve rejected them all. I haven’t found anyone.”
Hearing Li Yong’s words, the corners of Qin Xiaomin’s lips unconsciously curled up.
After Li Yong said this, there was another period of silence between them.
Li Yong felt his blood rush to his head after smelling the faint fragrance coming from the side.
He took a deep breath and said, “I have someone I like. Therefore, I won’t go on a blind date.”
After Li Yong said this, Qin Xiaomin turned her head to look at him in surprise.
“Qin Xiaomin, I like you!” Li Yong closed his eyes and finally said this sentence which he had hidden in his heart for a long time!
Qin Xiaomin’s face and eyes turned red. “You like me? Why can’t I tell? If you like me, why haven’t you contacted me for so long?”
Li Yong looked at Qin Xiaomin’s tearful eyes and felt his heart clench. He impulsively reached out and held Qin Xiaomin’s hand. “I also want to see you, but I can’t. I can only restrain myself.”
“Why? Why should you restrain yourself?” Qin Xiaomin didn’t understand.
“At the beginning, I wasn’t sure if you liked me too. Besides, our conditions are too different. I can’t give you a better life than now. I don’t want you to suffer with me, and your parents won’t agree,” Li Yong said in a low voice.
Qin Xiaomin looked at Li Yong with complicated feelings.
She also knew that the conditions of the two of them were not compatible, but how could conditions determine love?
She had money, so she didn’t care whether the other party had money or not. She only needed the other party to love her, which was enough.
“What about now? Why are you willing to say it now?”
“Because I know how you feel about me…” Li Yong hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I don’t want to disappoint you. Moreover, I’m confident that even if I can’t let you live a better life in the future, I won’t let you live a worse life!”
Qin Xiaomin pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, but the smile on her lips became more and more evident.
“I’m helping my parents to plant the greenhouse at home now. I earn more than before, and I’ll earn more in the future. As long as you don’t mind me, I…” Li Yong said and looked at Qin Xiaomin anxiously.
Qin Xiaomin didn’t say anything. She just hugged her arm and suddenly shivered, “Hiss, it’s so cold!”
Li Yong paused, got up, and was about to take off his coat.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaomin quickly reached out to stop him. “Are you stupid? Won’t you be cold after taking it off?”
“I’m fine. I can resist the cold!”
“That won’t do, my heart will ache!” Qin Xiaomin said again.
“Then let’s go back quickly. I…” Li Yong hadn’t finished his words when his entire body was stunned.
He lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the person in his arms, “You…”
His voice was a little hoarse. His hands were raised in the air, and he seemed to be at a loss.
Qin Xiaomin hugged Li Yong’s waist, and her voice was very soft. “This way, it won’t be cold anymore!”
She was in Li Yong’s arms and her ears were pressed against Li Yong’s chest.
She could clearly hear Li Yong’s heartbeat. It was deafening.
It was as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest!
Qin Xiaomin was in Li Yong’s arms. She pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
After a long while, Li Yong finally came back to his senses.
He swallowed his saliva and tentatively reached out his hand to hug Qin Xiaomin back.
Qin Xiaomin didn’t move and let him hug her.
Li Yong also began to smile.
...
The two of them just quietly hugged each other without saying a word.
“Then now… What’s going on between us?” After a long while, Li Yong couldn’t help but ask hesitantly.
“What do you think is going on? We already hugged each other, and you still want to deny it?” Qin Xiaomin said gloomily in his arms.
“No, it’s not…” Even though Li Yong was usually glib-tongued, he became cautious in front of Qin Xiaomin.
“So you’re my girlfriend now? I just find it a little unbelievable!”
The person he had been thinking about day and night was suddenly in his arms. This feeling made Li Yong feel that everything around him seemed unreal.
“And your parents, should we…” Li Yong was a little hesitant.
Speaking of her parents, Qin Xiaomin’s expression became serious.
The only obstacle between them was her parents.
But she knew that her parents were doing this for her own good. She didn’t want to do anything that would make her parents sad, and she didn’t want her parents to worry.
“Of course, I am your girlfriend, but my parents are doing this for my own good…” Qin Xiaomin said hesitantly.
