Chapter 574: Is This a Confession?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Therefore, during the Spring Festival, the security in this area was the most unstable.
The Chinese who had lived there for a long time knew that they had to be careful when they went out during the Spring Festival.
Fortunately, Ji Zixuan was a gentleman and insisted on sending Huang Weiwei home after she delivered the dumplings.
When they met robbers on the road, he always protected Huang Weiwei.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Huang Yichen was filled with regret.
“It’s alright,” Ji Zixuan comforted Huang Weiwei. “You don’t have to worry too much. I can take care of myself with just one hand.”
Huang Weiwei’s eyes were slightly red as she said in a self-reproaching tone,
“Don’t push it away, or else I won’t feel good.”
Ji Zixuan was about to say something when Ji Yuanyuan quickly interjected, “Brother Mucheng and I will take care of my brother when he goes home, but it’s not convenient for the two of us when we’re outside. At that time, I’ll leave
it Senior Sister.”
“It’s no trouble at all.” Huang Weiwei shook her head.
“Then can we go home now?” Qin Mucheng asked.
Huang Weiwei’s father immediately added, “Not only did Zixuan’s arm get injured, but his head was also hit. In my opinion, it’s better for him to stay in the hospital for observation at night. If there’s no problem, he can be discharged tomorrow.”
“Alright then.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
“Then you should go back and rest. I’ll take care of him tonight.” Huang Weiwei immediately said.
-Why don’t you let Mucheng stay?” Ji Zixuan hesitated. “It’s not convenient for you to stay here.”
However, Huang Weiwei insisted, ‘Til stay. Mucheng still has classes tomorrow. Besides, I have something to tell you.”
As soon as she said this, Huang Yichen shivered and immediately advised, “Brother Zixuan, don’t decline. Otherwise, my sister will think of you at home and definitely won’t be able to rest well.”
Seeing that he could not refuse, he said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were well aware of this and naturally would not say anything.
It was already past eight o’clock when Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng returned home from the hospital.
The nanny was also Chinese, and it was also the Spring Festival, so she would not be around during this period of time.
As for the chauffeur, he went to work during the day and returned home at night.
Since Ji Zixuan was in the hospital, only Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were left in the huge house.
The two of them sat on the sofa and snuggled up to each other. The television was switched on, and it was playing a domestic drama.
“Do you think we should tell my parents about Big Brother’s injury?” Ji Yuanyuan asked with some hesitation.
If she told her parents now, they would definitely be very worried.
However, they couldn’t make it this far.
“Forget it, we shouldn’t tell them. I don’t want them to worry.” Before Qin Mucheng could express his opinion, Ji Yuanyuan rejected the idea.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mucheng did not say anything. He only reached out to stroke her hair.
“Tell me, what do you think Senior Huang wants to say to Big Brother? Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and asked again.
Her eyes sparkled with a smile.
An inexplicable fragrance entered Qin Mucheng’s nose.
His gaze could not help but shift from Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes to her lips.
He did not hear what Ji Yuanyuan was saying at all.
He swallowed his saliva and forced himself to look away.
Ji Yuanyuan was originally waiting for Qin Mucheng’s answer with her head raised. Who knew that in the next second, her head was pushed away and Qin
Mucheng stood up.
Ji Yuanyuan turned around in confusion, “What’s wrong?
“It’s nothing. I’m going to the kitchen to get some water.” Qin Mucheng’s voice sounded a little hoarse.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and suddenly understood why.
Qin Mucheng stood in the kitchen for a long time and did not return.
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and took the initiative to step forward. Standing behind Qin Mucheng, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Actually, there’s no need to do this. Anyway, we’re going to get married sooner or later. There are some things that don’t matter if they’re done sooner or
later.”
Qin Mucheng’s body stiffened for a moment.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
He turned around and wrapped his arms around Ji Yuanyuan’s shoulders, whispering, “Before you came, I was looking forward to your arrival every day. Even just listening to your breathing is better than looking at you through the cold screen. But now that you’re here, I’m a little regretful.
“Regret? Could it be that you’re doing something shameful here? Are you afraid that I know?” Ji Yuanyuan said jokingly.
Qin Mucheng smiled bitterly, “I’m afraid that I can’t control myself. Since I’ve promised you, I naturally have to keep my promise. Besides, I can’t do anything that will disappoint Uncle and Auntie.”
He sighed again, “Even if I beg you, you can never accept it. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold it in. I will also study hard and strive to return to China as soon as possible.”
Ji Yuanyuan also let out a long sigh. She actually wanted Qin Mucheng not to keep his promise.
Moreover, even if something happened, as long as the two of them did not say anything, their parents would not know.
However, Ji Yuanyuan could not say this out loud.
Qin Mucheng might think she was not reserved.
“What you should be looking forward to now is not your return, but the early arrival of my eighteenth birthday.”
Even if Qin Mucheng could return to the country next winter, she would have just celebrated her 17th birthday.
“Yeah, I’ve waited for you for so long. Why haven’t you grown up yet?” Qin Mucheng tried to hold it in, but he could not help but kiss Ji Yuanyuan on the forehead.
In the hospital, Huang Weiwei and Ji Zixuan were separated by a curtain. Both of them were silent and did not speak.
In the end, Huang Weiwei could not help but stand up and pull open the curtain between them.
“Ji Zixuan, I used to think that you didn’t like me, so I was willing to be your friend. I stayed in the position of a friend and didn’t dare to cross the line. But now that you clearly like me, I can’t continue to pretend to be friends with you.” Huang Weiwei’s gentleness was gone, and her words were powerful. Ji Zixuan sat up on the bed and looked at Huang Weiwei, hesitating to speak.
Seeing his hesitation, Huang Weiwei said, “Just say what you want to say.”
He raised his hand and scratched his head.
This was the first time that he was at a loss in front of Huang Weiwei.
He had always been at ease, whether it was in his studies or in his life.
“I’ve been thinking about how to confess to you so that you’ll agree. I didn t expect you to be the first to snatch it.” Ji Zixuan whispered.
Huang Weiwei was delighted, but she did not show it on her face. She only said slowly, “Ever since they left, you haven’t spoken. It’s been half an hour. Who knows what you’re thinking? Besides, was that a confession?
Ji Zixuan reacted quickly and quickly shook his head, “It doesn’t count. At most, it counts as an inquiry..”
