Chapter 340: Puzzled
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Someone who treats her well?” Tong Pei looked at the line of words in the dialog box and frowned.
Guo Miao’s answer didn’t seem like an answer but more like a standard. There was even a hint of perfunctoriness in this standard.
“Did she say anything else?” Tong Pei typed and sent to Tong Yao.
After sending the message, Tong Pei gently stroked his chest. For some reason, his heart was beating very fast. Perhaps it was because he was nervous or afraid.
He had worked so hard for so long. What would he do if Guo Miao liked someone else?
“There might really be no chance to do it again this time,” he muttered to himself as he looked into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, after Tong Yao’s side showed that the other party was typing countless times, Tong Yao sent a simple [No].
Tong Pei stared at the two words in a daze until the screen went off.
He turned on his phone and opened the chat box with Guo Miao.
The call between Guo Miao and him had not been cut off. The girl was probably fast asleep. The steady breathing on the other side made him feel a faint sense of relief.
He tapped on the screen a few times and repeated the process of typing and deleting many times. In the end, he deleted all the words in the dialog box and turned off the phone.
If Guo Miao’s answer wasn’t him, then all these years of hard work might have been in vain.
He did not want to know the answer too early.
Guo Miao had a good sleep. When she woke up, the sunlight shone through the curtains on her body, making her feel warm and rested.
She rubbed her eyes. She had a good sleep and did not dream.
During the period of the Empire, she often couldn’t fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she would be humiliated by Guo Lin.
After she was reborn, the symptoms gradually slowed down but did not disappear completely.
However, this time, she didn’t dream of anything. She just fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from somewhere.
“Morning.”
Guo Miao was shocked. She then remembered that she had fallen asleep after speaking to Tong Pei on the phone yesterday.
In her groggy sleep, she seemed to hear Tong Pei’s voice and the man’s steady breathing.
Her face turned red instantly. Why did she fall asleep while on the phone with Tong Pei?
What if she ground her teeth and snored in her dreams? Wouldn’t that damage her image?
“You slept very well, and so did I.” Tong Pei’s low voice entered Guo Miao’s ears, causing her face to flush red.
She didn’t know what to make of listening to the other party’s voice while sleeping.
“Sorry to trouble you. I accidentally fell asleep last night. Maybe 1 was too tired,” Guo Miao said embarrassedly.
Her hands were wrapped around the edge of the blanket. A strange throbbing feeling attacked her heart, making her heart beat faster.
“It’s not troublesome. I like this feeling very much,” Tong Pei said lightly.
What did he mean about liking this feeling? Was it the feeling of being with her?
Guo Miao was shocked by her own thoughts.
Could it be that she wanted to be together with Tong Pei?
Guo Miao shook her head, trying to get rid of this unrealistic thought.
Although a lot of things had been completed, neither did it mean that he could relax nor could he think about these romantic things.
“I have a question to ask you,” Tong Pei spoke slowly with a solemn tone.
Guo Miao replied with a soft “hmm”. Her heart, which had calmed down, started beating wildly again.
“Do you have someone you like now?” Tong Pei seemed to have mentally prepared himself for a very long time before he could completely say this question. Every word carried a careful probing tone.
Guo Miao gripped her phone tightly. She had the urge to bang her head on the pillow.
She could have answered Tong Pei that she was still a high school student and not at the age to talk about love.
However, she found that she could not open her mouth.
An indescribable instinct made her freeze on the spot, and she began to examine her feelings for Tong Pei.
Ever since the rescue in the capital, every time she was in danger, he would appear. When they were in Fog City, he had always been by her side. He treated her well without any conditions.
Guo Miao gently skimmed her hand over her heart. Before her rebirth, she had lived for more than 20 years. She had lived for more than 40 years during the Empire. Although she looked like a teenager, her heart had existed in this world for more than 60 years.
She had thought that she would not care about these things at all, but now she realized that her thoughts seemed to be completely wrong..
