Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Reality is always unexpected. When Du Yu Shu opened the door, she was taken aback when saw the man smiling gently at her.

“Why are you here?” She asked.

Ye Jing An's hand were clasped behind his back as he gently said, “I miss you.”

I missed you, so I came.

So simple and straightforward, it left Du Yu Shu dumbfounded.

I missed you so I flew a few hundred kilometers from a different city to see you for a couple of hours.

Even if it is only for a minute, it is fine.

Although Ye Jing An had been professing his love repeatedly for her these days, she still couldn’t find any words to refute him after being faced with Ye Jing An’s simple but moving sentence.

Her cheeks flushed.

Ye Jing An’s eyes flashed a smile, “Are you not going to invite me in?”

Du Yu Shu glanced at him. After watching and following him for so many years, how could she not notice his littlest movements?

Ye Jing An’s ears are red.

Du Yu Shu jokingly smiled, “Not anyone could enter my home.”

“When you enter my home, you would belong to me. Does the little lady understand?”

Du Yu Shu lazily lean against the door frame and gracefully tapped his chin with her phone, “Do you understand?”

Ye Jing An’s demeanor remained unchanged. He nodded his head in a calm and gentle manner, “Of course.”

Du Yu Shu laughed in high spirits, “Congratulations, you have become my sixteenth concubine.”

“Then who is the primary wife?” Ye Jing An calmly asked.

That is not the point...

Du Yu Shu thought for a moment, “So you still hope to become the main wife?”

Is this implying that there is no main wife?

Ye Jing An smiled, “Then who are the remaining fifteen concubines?”

Du Yu Shu glared at him and walked inside. Enter if you want or not!

Ye Jing An smiled and entered. Du Yu Shu looked back and met his soul-stirring peach blossom eyes which carry some lightness in it. His lips slowly raised into a slight smile as he reveals a bouquet of flowers. That bouquet of cream-color roses softened his features making him look more gentle.

“Shu Shu, I like you.”

His expression and voice aren’t serious, instead, it was light and soft, as gentle as the clouds in the sky.

“.....Do you know what the champagne rose represent?”

Du Yu Shu heard herself asked in a daze. She looked at him, captivated by his peach blossom eyes.

“The champagne rose is the national flower of Bulgaria. It means,” Ye Jing An paused and eye smile at her, but in those smiling eyes, Du Yu Shu could see the unprecedented seriousness and sincerity, “Falling in love with you is the happiest thing that has happened to me. thinking of you brings me the sweetest pain, being with you is my pride, without you, I am a ship lost at sea.”

Ye Jing An’s voice is very light, like a hundred-year-old wine, making one feel intoxicated.

Du Yu Shu felt like she is drunk.

“It also has a very emotional meaning that means a lot to me.” Ye Jing An stared at her. The girl he remembered from before had grown up. “I only love you.”

“Could you accept my love, Shu Shu?”

They silently gaze at each other.

The cream-colored roses swayed in the air, releasing its sweet fragrance.

Du Yu Shu slowly took the bouquet of flowers. The cream roses have a very intoxicating aroma.

“Okay.”

Du Yu Shu slowly laughed. Surrounded by those cream-colored roses, that smile looks beautiful and charming.

People really are more loveable and delicate than flowers.

Ye Jing An thought.

After their conversation ended, Ye Jing An and Du Yu Shu surrounded by awkwardness in the sweet atmosphere.

They sat on the sofa, deliberately widening the gap between them as they focused on the TV screen. There was enough space in the middle for someone to sit.

Also, the TV screen is showing a toothpaste ad.

Du Yu Shu put the champagne roses in the vase which has been left unused for quite some time. Before, Du Yu Shu never buys flowers and when she got busier, she didn’t have much leisure time to deal with it so although she has a vase at home, there are no flowers.

And that vase of champagne roses was placed on the coffee table, in front of the sofa.

From Du Yu Shu’s perspective, those roses were like a display. She doesn’t know whether she is watching the TV or the flowers.

“Shu Shu” Ye Jing An suddenly spoke.

“Hm?” Du Yu Shu didn’t turn and continue to watch TV.

“Do you remember when we filmed 《Sage King》?” Ye Jing An slowly said, as if he was considering his words, “There is something I have always wondered. Why did your attitude toward me change so much at that time?”

He finally asked out loud. Ye Jing An had been puzzled by this for so many years. Now he can finally get the answer from the other party’s mouth.”

“......” Du Yu Shu fell silent. Then she frankly said, “Heard some words that should not be heard. I was standing outside and the door wasn’t closed but I still wasn’t able to hear clearly.”

“At that time you said….” Du Yu Shu closed her eyes and calmly repeated, “‘Du Yu Shu? That idiot who relies on her connections? It’s better if it’s Xia Ning Hua, at least she has some aura and her acting is pretty good.’“

Now that she thinks about it, Du Yu Shu wants to laugh at herself. Because of this sentence, she subconsciously thought that Ye Jing An dislikes her; it’s really….ridiculous.

It turns out she also has these innocent moments.

Sure enough, she was really young at that time.

“You’re very honest…” Ye Jing An suddenly said, he doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “There were still some more words I said after that. Now that I think about, I feel very wronged.”

“There’s no way to not be shameless.” Du Yu Shu helplessly said. Now that the initial awkwardness subsided, as Du Yu Shu thought back to when she was younger, she couldn’t help but smile. “Even though it is embarrassing, I still have to say it.”

Ye Jing An was taken aback by her candidness. He turned to look at her. Du Yu Shu closed her eyes. She looked both helpless and frank, her cheeks red, making her look very beautiful.

“I don’t want to deceive you any more.” Du Yu Shu confidently said.

Ye Jing An gently laughs as her words hit straight at his heart. Because you don’t want to deceive me, even though it is shameful, you want to tell me the truth?

It is really…..cute.

“In fact, I did say something right after.” Ye Jing An paused. Even though he confidently said it in front of his friends, it is embarrassing to say it in front of her.

“En.” Even though she already knew what he said, Du Yu Shu still wants to hear him say it personally.

There’s never too much sweet talk. Besides, it's easy makes insults but it is not easy to say sweet words.

Naturally, she must grasp this opportunity.

Du Yu Shu’s lips turned up as a trace of a smile crossed her eyes. However, Ye Jing An didn’t see it as he tried to adjust his words.

“I’m not very clear what I said that time.” Ye Jing An sighed, his ears tinged red. When Du Yu Shu saw it, the smile in her eyes deepened.

But she can’t let Ye Jing An know she already knows.

“I think it was something like, I am an idiot who relies on my connections and Du Yu Shu is also like this so Du Yu Shu and I are a match made in heaven. Birds of a feather flock together, like Du Yu Shu and me, so it is only right that we end up together.”

“As for Xia Ning Hua, she is good, but what does it have to do with me? She and I are different people.”

Du Yu Shu’s eyes moved. Ye Jing An shyly scratched his head. He looked away, trying to hide his hot face as he vaguely said, “...So don’t be mistaken.”

“Heh…..” Du Yu Shu laughed. Seeing Ye Jing An like this, she gently said, “Actually, it wasn’t because of this.”

“Do you remember that scene in 《Sage King》? The one we have to hug and NGed so many times? Every time you approach me, your body will stiffen and your expression will turn bad. Later when I watched the scene, and heard your tone and saw your reaction, I don’t know what to think.” Du Yu Shu laughed.

“Then I feel more unjust.” Ye Jing An felt like he is more unjust than Dou E*, “Wouldn't you get nervous when you stand in front of your crush? Besides, it is also a hug, an intimate action with a woman that happens to be my crush. What’s important is not letting her notice my nervousness when filming. I was a young man in his early twenties back then, filming a hugging scene with my female Goddess. Of course, I would be nervous.”

“If you’re nervous, wouldn’t your body naturally stiffen?”

Du Yu Shu simply laughed and joked, “Female Goddess?”

“.....” Ye Jing An confidently said, “Am I not your Male God?”

Du Yu Shu pitifully shook her head, “No.”

“My Male God is at least 1.85 meters tall, handsome and masculine, cheerful, and can provide a sense of security.”

“What qualities do you have that match that?” Du Yu Shu teased.

“I know.” Ye Jing An expressionlessly said, “Is it Yan Xi? Your’s and Yan Xi’s CP fans are great in number.”

“Puchi…..” Du Yu Shu couldn’t help but happily laugh as tears filled her eyes. Ye Jing An’s expression only turned darker. Du Yu Shu glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and laughed, “Why do I smell a strong scent of vinegar?”

Ye Jing An indifferently continued, “Should I wear insoles then? Will that count? At this age, even if I want to grow taller, it will be hard to do so.”

Du Yu Shu patted the sofa then rubbed her eyes and seriously said, “Male God can have thousands upon thousands of women in his heart, but in my heart, there is only you.”

Du Yu Shu’s tone was gentle and easy-going but behind her watery eyes were a layer of seriousness and gentleness.

Ye Jing An slowly closed his eyes.

These are the most touching words he has ever heard.

The TV screen changed and 《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》these four words appeared on the screen. Then there was a small clip of the cast members appearing on set and then a graphic of the characters《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》woven together by flowers.

“It’s the first episode ah” Du Yu Shu smiled, “Do you remember when I was scared silly by a spider and ran right into you.”

“It really is fate.”

Ye Jing An made a sound of acknowledgment. How is that fate ah? He clearly calculated it.

“You’re really afraid of spiders?” Ye Jing An asked.

“You’re really afraid of ghosts?”

They smiled at each other and didn’t say anything.

Look, these two are very silly.

Du Yu Shu isn’t really that afraid of spiders that she flew into Ye Jing An’s arm.

Ye Jing An isn’t really that afraid of spiders that he held onto Du Yu Shu’s hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Both of them clearly used their own subtle ways to express their feelings but because the gap was too big and they were clouded by too many misunderstandings, they were never able to guess the other person’s plans.

Perhaps it is not that they can’t guess it, it’s just they can’t believe it.

“Say, how stupid are we?” Du Yu Shu looked at the Ye Jing An on the screen who has headed her direction and then made an alliance with her. She remembered that he gave her a tip about the numbers and realized that he had already known earlier on and had gone to look for her.

“It is said that dating could make someone a fool for 3 years, and secret love 5 years. We both originally had a low IQ, there’s no question why we would be foolish for 7-8 years.”

“True.” Du Yu Shu chuckled.

“Do you remember the press conference for《Sage King》?” Du Yu Shu raised another topic, “I think that was when the rumors about our discord began.”

“I remember,” Ye Jing An slightly nodded, “At that time, my heart was aching.”

“Didn’t we also play a game too? They want us to eat a biscuit in 2 cm length (Pocky Game). At that time, I refused, remember?”

“How could I forget any moment with you?” Ye Jing An casually said, “At that moment, the expression on my face froze but because your back was facing me, you didn’t see it.”

“When you hugged me you became stiff and awkward. You didn’t even want to play the pocky game with me and right after, you even rubbed your lips.” Du Yu Shu laughed, “Looking back, I was really foolish. Why did I have to worry so much because of you? You rubbing your lips had nothing to do with me.”

Ye Jing An rubbed her head, “How could you say this? You shouldn’t overthink things.”

Ye Jing An paused and then spoke in a low voice, “I wouldn’t rub my lips. Most likely, I wouldn’t wash my lips for a few days.”

Du Yu Shu, “.....We were really stupid back then.”

Ye Jing An took her hand and resolutely said, “Wrong, it should be we are very fortunate.”

They took so many detours and in the end was still able to end up together.
