C21 She’s Falling in Love with Him

“Is that really so?” Zuo Yuliang was smiling. He knew that many women liked him. However, he was not interested in that sort of girl. Even though she was pretty, she was still too young. This kind of girl lacked understanding and did not have enough emotional maturity to hang out with a man like him.

But giving it some good thought, Yu Xiaotong was also young and inexperienced and even lacked that sort of emotional maturity. But he knew that he wanted to get closer to her. It could be said that he was only using this as an excuse to not get to know Lin Yajun.

If he really had to say, Lin Yajun was only a little worse than Yu Xiaotong.

Zuo Yuliang decided to change the subject. “Xiaotong, what do you feel like eating today?”

Yu Xiaotong said, “I’m not hungry…”

She really did not want to have another meal with him. She wanted to find a good time today to tell him to stop seeing her.

“You have to eat. Let me arrange something,” Zuo Yuliang said.

Zuo Yuliang took Yu Xiaotong to a restaurant to eat green bean soup. He said that since the weather outside was hot, it would be a good time to eat green bean soup to help cool down.

Yu Xiaotong much preferred this kind of small meal. That way it didn’t have to be too expensive for him and she could avoid being too much in his debt. He tended to bring her to high-end restaurants to dine and this ended up leaving a heavy psychological burden on Yu Xiaotong’s mind.

After they finished their meal, he took her hand and held it and they walked on the streets together like this. The way they were acting made it seem like they were a pair of lovers happily strolling on the streets.

Yu Xiaotong’s heart felt like it was in a mess. His ambiguous actions put her at a loss, making her feel very chaotic inside!

Although on the outside they appeared like lovers, she knew the truth - that they were, in fact, not lovers and the reality was that they never would be!

She felt very inferior in her heart. She knew that she had no right to fall in love. She was not qualified to love others, nor was she qualified to accept their love!

In her dictionary, the word “love” had been erased. It was an unattainable dream that she would never be able to reach.

But even though she had her love in doubt, she and Zuo Yuliang still walked side by side like a couple. A trembling happiness was awakened in her heart. She really wanted to hold this happiness in her hand for a while longer. She wanted with all her heart for him to hold her hand and keep walking like this until the end of time!

Just like that, Yu Xiaotong was unable to tell him, “We cannot see each other again.“

When she was getting out of the car, Zuo Yuliang pulled her right back into his arms. He placed light kisses on her face. His bright eyes looked over at her with tenderness. “Xiaotong, I will surely miss you tonight!”

Yu Xiaotong’s face reddened at his words. She turned away shyly and got out of the vehicle.

Zuo Yuliang stared at Yu Xiaotong’s elegant and graceful figure as she walked out of the car. She was thin and her legs were both long and slender. She had a tall stature and a slim waist. He could tell at this distance that her figure was perfect.

Her face momentarily flashed before his eyes. Her face could be said to be extraordinarily beautiful. It could be because she did not put on too much makeup that her alluring beauty was not covered up by rouge and cosmetic powder.

He thought about her tendency to blush due to shyness. That thick shyness that she wears around her had a moving power over him.

His thoughts then roamed over to the scar on her neck. He did not understand how she got that scar and who could’ve caused her that injury.

On her beautiful, smooth, and white neck, who could dare blemish it with such a wound?

He imagined the moment her neck was cut by the knife and he actually began to feel a bit of pity for her in his heart!

Zuo Yuliang did not notice that he had developed deeper feelings for Yu Xiaotong.

He began to care deeply for her, pay attention to her inner world, and wanted to understand her past better!

Yu Xiaotong was once more lying in bed in a complete daze. During this period of time, she found she was in a constant stupor as bits and pieces of her being together with Zuo Yuliang replayed in her mind repeatedly.

His handsome face, perfect smile, confident words, and the sensation of him holding her hand moved her heart greatly. His sudden kisses quickened her heart rate… Everything that had to do with him, she kept going it over in her heart over and over again.

Out of nowhere, another person’s face flashed before her eyes. He was also handsome, but it was his coldness that stood out to her.

At the same time, a voice reverberated in her ears, “I will not forget your face! Remember this, I will definitely get you back for the humiliation you dealt me today!”

The voice sounded like it came from a demon from hell. Altogether it was cold, gloomy, and sinister. It was threatening and in the face of it, she could not help but shudder!

Although a long time had passed, and she tried to forget everything that had happened, she was unable to forget that face, and sometimes he would appear out of nowhere and glower furiously at her!

Yu Xiaotong let out a sigh. She had first met Zuo Yuliang at the Milkyway. Yu Xiaotong did not expect this.

She did not expect she would have fallen in love with him without her even knowing about it.

She could not deny Zuo Yuliang’s charm. He was like a huge magnetic force field while Yu Xiaotong was like a tiny nail, strongly attracted to him.

But at the same time, a voice reverberated in her heart over and over again. “I won’t forget your face! Remember this, that I will pay you back for the humiliation you brought me today! You will not get away with this!”

This voice continued to remind her: You have already slept with another man. You are both cheap and dirty. You do not deserve this love. You do not deserve to have a man love you!

Yu Xiaotong could not help but sigh. Although she tried her best to put what happened in the past behind her, how could she forget about it in the end?

She closed her eyes and shook her head fiercely to clear it of the voice and hideous face that made her heart tremble with fear!

Zuo Yuliang’s voice brought her back to reality. “Baby, what’s going on?”

“Nothing.” Yu Xiaotong felt a little embarrassed that he called her “baby.” But she could not deny that she was also happy. She wanted to pretend she was really his baby. She hoped that he would treat her like his baby: cherish her, protect her, and treasure her!

“Were you missing me?”

Yu Xiaotong did not say a word. She had clearly been thinking about him, but she was too embarrassed to say so.

“Did you forget to think about me again?” Zuo Yuliang said sternly, “Xiaotong, why are your thoughts not of me?”

“I am not…” Yu Xiaotong could not help but blush. They were on the phone and she knew that he could not see her. She was feeling very shy. “I did not forget…”

“Then do you miss me?”

“I… did…” Yu Xiaotong’s voice was as small as a mouse.

“Really? Here, I will give you a kiss, okay?”

“Why… kiss?”

Through the microphone came a loud voice, “Did you feel it?”

“... Yes.”

“You’re not going to kiss me back?”

“No…” Yu Xiaotong felt like if she did what he asked, she would feel very embarrassed.

Zuo Yuliang burst out laughing. “Okay, go to sleep now. You can dream about kissing me.”

Zuo Yuliang’s feelings for Yu Xiaotong grew stronger day by day. He realized then that he truly loved her.

Similarly, Yu Xiaotong had developed feelings for Zuo Yuliang. She realized her feelings for him were too strong and this made her want to avoid him. It was obvious she was falling in love!
