Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was very silent inside the car, so much so that the sound of the engine seemingly could not even be heard. However, Xu Moyan did not notice this.
“I made a cake today. I wanted to gather the courage to confess my feelings to you, but I was very afraid. I’m timid in this regard, and so, I put on an act. I told myself that if you return before today ended, I’d confess my feelings to you. Otherwise, I’d continue concealing it even though you were so nice. You said we’re friends and you never seem like you’re guarded at all whenever you’re with me. How can I control my heart under these circumstances? Even if I do hide it today, there will come a day when I can no longer hide it – this will happen as long as I’m still in touch with you.”
As he turned his head, looked at her and quietly listened to what she said, Wei Zilin initially felt disappointed, furious, and wronged. Yet, all of this turned into a mist and dissipated upon hearing her words.
He watched her in silence, wanting to pull down her hands to see her face. If Xu Moyan was willing to remove her hands and look at him, she could see the unprecedented tenderness in his expression. His two black eyes were terrifyingly bright, and even the white snow outside could not compare to how crystal clear the he emotions he was transmitting with his eyes was.
“It’s because I don’t feel confident and I like you too much. I was stunned when I saw that Weibo post. It turns out that you already have a girlfriend, and that all of the feelings I’ve been harboring was merely wishful thinking. Today of all… all days is the day which I had summoned up the courage to confess my feelings to you. Therefore, I couldn’t think very clearly and comprehensively. I’m sorry…”
‘I said it. I had said all of it. I had just voiced the words that I had been holding inside my heart all this time and did not dare to speak aloud.’
Xu Moyan was aware that this was not good timing. Even if she did not feel hopeful, she should not have chosen to do so at such a time. With this, the slightest flames of hope in her heart were extinguished.
Since she had experienced a setback and already said what she felt aloud, Xu Moyan simply relinquished herself to despair and began to bawl. She was a young woman who could not only be gentle, but also sometimes be unreasonable and cause a scene.
Hence, at this moment, she decided to be unreasonable and cause a scene.
Thus, she said in a rather wicked tone, “Now that I’ve made it clear, do you think that we can’t even be friends anymore?”
The only noise in the car was the sound of her sobbing quietly. Meanwhile, Wei Zilin had already searched for a place earlier by the roadside and stopped the car.
As the snow was still plummeting incessantly and the wind was gradually becoming weaker, the snowflakes that seemed like feathers fell in a steady flow before landing on the window of the car. They soon turned into drops of water, trickling down and dropping toon the hood of the car, after which they were melted by the temperature of the hood. Because of this, the snow did not accumulate.
The road was not so lucky. Thick and white snow that was as soft as the clouds and mein mein ice filled the entire view. 1
The perturbed fashion of how Xu Moyan had put forward the question, yet had also stubbornly used an unreasonable tone made it such that Wei Zilin could not help but laugh softly.
As Xu Moyan’s ears twitched, her neck to her ears turned crimson. The sound of her crying covered some of Wei Zilin’s laughter, making her unable to differentiate whether Wei Zilin was sneering at her or, dare she believe it, actually responding positively.
“Don’t cry anymore.” Wei Zilin’s soft voice entered her ear. Xu Moyan seemed to make out the tenderness that sounded like the tone Qi Shaofeng, whom Wei Zilin dubbed, often used when he amused his lover in the movie, Massacre.
When she watched the movie in the past, she was very envious. Afterward, she even looked for the audio clip of that part and listened to it over and over again. It was still stored in her computer until now, and even if she changed her computer in the future, she would not forget to transfer it over.
However, right now, she was crying her eyes out. Since she did not think of herself as the sharpest, she did not really dare to trust her own judgment.
Wei Zilin’s soft sigh seemed to tickle her ear. It carried hints of helplessness as well as a pampering tone. “If you cry again, I’ll kiss you.”
Xu Moyan was sobbing so she could not react properly and was slightly muddle-headed.
She did not mishear him, right?
Wei Zilin’s words did not seem as though he did not want to be in contact with her henceforth.
She paused for a moment, but her emotions were all dialed-up and the tears would not stop flowing just because she wanted them to. On top of that, she was out of control just now. Thus, the grievances in her heart could not be subdued so easily. With her shoulders trembling violently, she gathered the courage to look up at him.
Suddenly, he gripped both of her wrists and pulled them down before wrapping them behind her waist. He held them tight so that neither of her hands were able to move.
Then, he kissed her.
The fragrance and sweetness of the lip balm still lingered on her lips; it was faint and very delicious, topped off with a little saltiness and bitterness from the tears. As both her lips were stained with the tears, Wei Zilin could feel the softness, warmth, and moisture of her lips when he kissed her gently. Lightly licking it a bit, he tasted the sweetness of her lip balm. Though it was still accompanied by the slight saltiness of her tears, it had already greatly satisfied him.
The corner of his lips gradually curled upward. Under her frightened gaze, he secretly pried open and slipped his tongue inside, briefly using it to kiss her intimately. Like a slippery fishtail, he this this swiftly before retracting it. After all, he did not dare to be too presumptuous during the first time, even if her sweetness was something he would no doubt remember.
The soft, tender and beautiful feeling were still clear in his head even though he had already left her lips shortly after.
Xu Moyan was completely dumbfounded by the fact that he had kissed her. He tasted delicious, fresh and fragrant. Upon realizing this, her heartbeat became especially erratic, as if it wanted to jump out of her throat.
As he let go of her hands, Wei Zilin sat back in his seat and began driving the car again.
Xu Moyan’s foolish hands quickly covered her chest as the corner of her lips shakily curved upward and her smile grew. In the end, she began to smile stupidly.
On the other hand, Wei Zilin did not say a single word for the remainder of the journey.
She did not know how long he had been driving for, but Xu Moyan felt that quite a long time had passed. Even so, she was not impatient. On the contrary, she was very happy.
Even if they did not exchange any words and regardless of how much time had passed, she would be happy as long as she could be alone with Wei Zilin.
When the car stopped, their surroundings were not really bright as only the nearby buildings were still brightly lit. This made the cold snowy day appear warmer.
“I’m not sure which environment is most suitable. After much deliberation, I feel that Yan Beicheng’s guildhall is the best choice. It is always open, and its atmosphere is quiet as well.” explained Wei Zilin.
This was his first time opening his mouth and speaking since the kiss. It was still the same crisp and melodic voice, but in Xu Moyan’s ears, it sounded different from the past.
Now, it sounded more pleasant and moving.
As Xu Moyan followed Wei Zilin’s lead to exit the car, Wei Zilin shot a glance at both of her fair hands. “Where are the gloves?”
Xu Moyan heard this and panicked while fishing out his gloves from the pocket of the coat. Her actions were nervous and flustered; it seemed so childish that it was actually adorable.
“Forget it, don’t wear them. Your hands won’t be cold anyway.” Wei Zilin said.
Xu Moyan was still wondering what Wei Zilin meant when Wei Ziling grabbed her left hand. The scalding temperature transmitted directly from his palm to hers.
Sure enough, it was not cold at all.
Xu Moyan’s face became red as she smiled in a sweet and willy manner, like a cat that had just been caught cheating but still acting proud as if she had earned a treat. Bystanders who were unaware of the situation would think that she had just been gifted a house.
Thus, she shoved her right hand into the coat pocket. As expected, she did not need to wear the gloves anymore.
Wei Zilin led her by the hand the entire way through Red Roof. The attendant recognized him and immediately stepped forward to greet him, “Master Lin.”
Wei Zilin nodded. He ignored the attendant’s gaze that quickly landed on his hand that was gripping Xu Moyan’s as he asked, “Is there a place tonight?”
“Yes.” the attendant said, “Please come this way.”
Due to the uniqueness of the day, couples who celebrated it would not come here, nor would clients who wanted to discuss business. Neither groups of people would pick this place as their first-choice location today. As such, the business at Red Roof was not great on Valentine’s Day.
They were led into a room where there was a self-ordering kiosk. After ordering the food, it would automatically transfer the order into the system. Hence, the attendant did not need to constantly stand there waiting like a fool.
One of the merits that made people fond of Red Roof was its good privacy. At the same time, the self-ordering kiosk in the room also had the function to call for the attendant. If they were not called, the attendant would not come in willy-nilly.
After all, many people who came here to discuss work-related matters talked about classified matters. Even if the attendant from Red Roof was extremely professional, it could not be compared with the satisfaction of discussing things in total privacy.
Once the attendant left, only Wei Zilin and Xu Moyan remained in the huge room.
Standing there uneasily, Xu Moyan did not have a clue of what she should do or say.
Nevertheless, Wei Zilin immediately brought her to the sofa and sat down. Only then did he let go of her hand; his delicate and handsome face appeared very solemn.
“Initially, I wouldn’t have returned so quickly, but since today is Valentine’s Day, I wanted to spend it with you. So, I kept working around the clock at G City and didn’t even have any meals, besides breakfast. Only then did I finish my work prematurely so that I could catch an early flight back. I didn’t expect to be faced with your doubts upon my return.”
Xu Moyan no longer dared to make eye contact with Wei Zilin as she instead lowered her head with a twinge of guilt.
“Before the plane took off, I saw on Weibo that you had made a cake. I was very happy and really looking forward to it at first. I thought you would give it to me. At that time, I did not feel unwell even though I was starving. On the contrary, I was in an unprecedentedly good mood. After getting off the plane, I rushed to look for you while my luggage was still in the trunk. I didn’t even go back home, yet you came out empty-handed. The feeling I experienced then was as if you had made a promise to me but not fulfilled it. I actually thought that you didn’t like me.”
Xu Moyan opened her mouth briefly before snapping it shut with a reddened face. She could not open her mouth in fear of letting out all her emotions again. After all, she had already confessed once just now.
“To be honest, I’m very angry because of your distrust. I feel like you don’t know how tiring it can be to be so busy to the point that you don’t even bother eating. I clenched my teeth and persisted so that I could come back in time to see you in time. However, after all that, you ended up surprising me in such a cruel way.” Wei Zilin looked at her grimly.
