Chapter 73: CH 73

Sang Wan Ci’s gaze was heated, making Lu Zhi Wei unable to escape.

Her heart tightened.

She was incredibly nervous.

…… As she thought, she had been overheard.

This already wasn’t Sang Wan Ci’s first time hearing that Lu Zhi Wei had someone she liked.

If Ying Xi Ze hadn’t told her about it, she probably might have thought that this was just an excuse that Lu Zhi Wei had used to reject Jin Man Wen.

But now, she couldn’t stop herself from being curious, and jealous of that person.

Who was it?

Who was the one who had stolen Lu Zhi Wei’s heart before her?

Was it true that it had nothing to do with her, and that just like Jin Man Wen said, she would be rejected by Lu Zhi Wei too?

Lu Zhi Wei wanted to avoid this dangerous question.

Anything that could ruin their relationship and cause them to distance themselves, she didn’t dare to face it.

She was a coward.

Sang Wan Ci saw her intention to avoid it.

“Don’t lie to me, jiejie.”

“I know it’s not an excuse.

“Ying Xi Ze told me before, you have someone you like.”

Tell me.

Let me know this secret.

Let me know the differences between me and the person.

And let me completely give up……

Lu Zhi Wei had nowhere to run now.

Damn it, how did Xiao Ying know?

She paused and thought of the answer immediately, her fist hardening.

Lu Si Jiao! Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

This kid, why didn’t you keep your mouth shut!!

If jiejie ruins her relationship with the person she likes, wait and see how I deal with you!!!

But now, Lu Si Jiao clearly wasn’t the important point. The important point was how she was going to answer Sang Wan Ci’s question.

How could she answer Sang Wan Ci, who didn’t like her, but not destroy the relationship between them?

It’s so difficult…… Even playing the violin isn’t this difficult.

Sang Wan Ci immediately knew this answer wasn’t an easy one to say from how conflicted Lu Zhi Wei looked.

She didn’t want to make it too hard for Lu Zhi Wei, but she didn’t want to give up this opportunity either.

So she took a step back, asking: “Zhi Wei, the person you like…… Is it a girl?”

This question gave her enough breathing room.

Lu Zhi Wei still kept her hands in fists, she was willing to answer this question.

But she suddenly didn’t dare to look Sang Wan Ci in the eyes, unable to convey her liking.

She lowered her head, picking at her fingers.

Then after a moment, she nodded lightly.

—— Yes, the person I like is a girl.

After getting an answer, Sang Wan Ci’s heart suddenly started beating faster.

It was a girl.

Who?

Could it be her?

Was there a chance between them?

She couldn’t help but continue: “Who is it?”

Nervous, anticipating and reckless.

She wanted an answer too badly. Even if she was scared of being rejected, she wanted to know the name of the person in Lu Zhi Wei’s heart.

—— Here it is, the unavoidable questioning.

Lu Zhi Wei’s hands clenched even tighter.

She didn’t know if she could answer this question, or how to answer this question.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt reckless.

Even if there was only one chance, she wanted to let Sang Wan Ci know…… Someone really likes you.

She lifted her head, looking towards /Sang Wan Cislowly, her eyes filled with carefulness and cherishment.

—— It’s you, Wan Ci.

The person I like is you.

Out of control, involuntarily.

I can’t control my heart from crossing the line.

You’re too good, too mesmerising, I can’t…… Can’t stop myself from wanting you.

Her nose suddenly prickled as tears filled her eyes.

She looked down again.

But I’m afraid of losing you, afraid of your disgust……

Lu Zhi Wei looked at her hands, feeling like a child who was going to be abandoned imminently.

She suddenly felt like she was useless.

Why was it that she couldn’t help but want to cry whenever she saw the person she liked……

But she was too scared.

It had been so hard to get everything she had now, maybe it wouldn’t exist in the next second because of her recklessness.

Then, she saw a pair of slender legs stop in front of her.

That pair of feet were still wearing the same cotton slippers as her.

A pair of hands reached out slowly.

They gently, tightly held onto her hands, easing her unrest.

She slowly raised her reddened eyes upwards.

She saw Sang Wan Ci standing in front of her, smiling with gentleness in her eyes.

Sang Wan Ci didn’t draw further and further away, but drew closer as usual.

Lu Zhi Wei paused, unable to speak.

Those eyes had already given Sang Wan Ci the answer she wanted.

Even though Lu Zhi Wei hadn’t said a word, but the amount of tenderness in her eyes said it all.

Those were the feelings that she couldn’t talk about.

“Zhi Wei,” she gently touched Lu Zhi Wei’s cheek, all the tenderness in the world seemed to be carried in her voice. “I have an ideal type now, do you want to hear it?”

The answer didn’t need to be said.

Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes widened, a tear falling from her eye, unclear if it was surprise or joy.

It was her……

She liked her too!

It wasn’t one-sided, they liked each other!

“Wan Ci, I, I……”

Lu Zhi Wei was so agitated she couldn’t speak, it was as if her tongue had left its home.

“I like you,” Sang Wan Ci’s eyes was gentle, her voice filled with overflowing joy. “I’m very happy you like me too.”

Lu Zhi Wei was too happy, the tears in her eyes filling up.

She nodded frantically, as if afraid Sang Wan Ci would feel she didn’t like her enough.

“I like you Wan Ci, I really, really like you. I like you so much I was scared you couldn’t like me, that you’d hate me, I- Wu……”

As she spoke, she started crying.

She pinched herself viciously as she continued crying, then she laughed and cried in pain: “It’s real……”

She wasn’t dreaming, she wasn’t fantasizing.

She really had hugged a ray of light that belonged to her.

Watching it, Sang Wan Ci felt hurt but also amused.

She gently smoothed the cheek that had been pinched red, then she pulled the person in front of her into her arms tightly, unwilling to let go.

“Zhi Wei……”

Zhi Wei. Please read at jiulian lian . word press . com

My Zhi Wei.

I really like you, I like you to the point that I want to spend my whole life by your side watching the four seasons with you, watching the wind, the rain, the sunny days.

“Teacher Lu,” Sang Wan Ci said softly. “Do you want to be my girlfriend?”

“Yes!” Lu Zhi Wei replied quickly, smiling with her eyes curved.

As her words landed, she heard the system’s voice ring out.

【System reminder: Congratulations to the host for completing one of the main missions, having reciprocated feelings with the female protagonist Sang Wan Ci. ‘Fifty mission points’ have been awarded.

【Please work hard, host.】

Lu Zhi Wei was in shock.

Fifty mission points…… Good fellow, that was ten straight draws!

The dog system could actually give her ten draws?!

This was the treatment of the main storyline?

She was in love.

But no matter what, it was most important that Sang Wan Ci and her were finally together.

It was great, the person she liked liked her too.

She had to announce, this was the most beautiful and lucky thing in her whole life!

Amidst her joy, she suddenly thought of something and quickly said: “But we can’t tell anybody about it yet.”

Sang Wan Ci didn’t understand: “Why?”

Lu Zhi Wei explained: “Because I want to be worthy of you before we announce it.”

Sang Wan Ci let go of her and looked into her eyes, eyebrows furrowing.

Lu Zhi Wei explained patiently: “I’m just a small actress now, and you’ve acted as the female lead in so many shows. I don’t want anybody to say I’m not worthy of you, I don’t want myself to feel that I’m not worthy of you too.

“Wan Ci, you’re really very good to me, so I want to become as excellent as you, to be worthy of your liking and of you.

“I don’t want you to like a useless person who’s not anything.”

“You’re not a useless person,” Sang Wan Ci held her face in her hands, seriously and gently correcting her. “My Zhi Wei is very excellent and smart, much better than a lot of people I’ve met.”

“But not enough,” Lu Zhi Wei smiled. “It’s still not enough to be someone worthy of you yet.”

She had to become a top-notch woman, how could she be satisfied with her current achievements?

In the past, she had no right to have dreams and ambition as a small transparent person. Now that she had the male protagonist halo, of course she had to improve herself.

Besides, there was no advantage to announcing their relationship now, why not wait.

Sang Wan Ci wasn’t a person who cared about dating the “right match”.

To her, both parties liking each other was the “right match”.

But seeing how insistent and motivated Lu Zhi Wei was, she couldn’t hold her back.

“Mm, I’ll listen to you.”

Lu Zhi Wei smiled: “Good girl.”

Sang Wan Ci wiped the corners of her eyes: “Sorry, you’ve suffered.”

She always said Lu Zhi Wei was dumb, not smart, unable to see how much she liked her.

But how smart was she?

Lu Zhi Wei clearly liked her so much, but she couldn’t see it either, causing her to cry in the end……

“I’m sorry, Zhi Wei.”

Her kiss landed gently on the end of Lu Zhi Wei’s eye, then she hugged her again.

Her heart was full of happiness, overjoyed.

“It’s okay, I cried because I’m not strong enough, it’s not your fault,” Lu Zhi Wei’s smile was radiant. “I’m very, very happy Wan Ci can like me.”

“Me too.”

“Mm —— Oh right, you can’t tell Xiao Ying and Si Jiao too.”

“Why?”

“Those two kids can’t keep a secret.”

“……”

Sang Wan Ci thought about it, then chuckled.

There were advantages to not being able to keep a secret.

At least, this time it helped the two of them.

From today onwards, she was Lu Zhi Wei’s legitimate girlfriend.

After confirming their relationship, Sang Wan Ci and Lu Zhi Wei no longer needed an excuse to sleep in the same room.

It was only right for her to sleep with her girlfriend!

Besides, her head hurt and she needed her girlfriend to massage her head for her.

Looking at the person lying on her lap, Lu Zhi Wei’s eyebrows were furrowed in distress.

Why did her Wan Ci always have headaches?

It couldn’t be figured out even after checking at the hospital. The doctors could only ask Sang Wan Ci to rest well, but she would have headaches even after resting.

Thinking about it, she suddenly felt suspicious.

Could it be…… That it had something to do with the system? Or maybe the plot had changed and the female lead was implicated?

“Does it still hurt?” She asked worriedly.

Sang Wan Ci smiled: “It’s better.

“It doesn’t hurt after Zhi Wei massages it.”

Seeing it, Lu Zhi Wei felt even more distressed, regretting that she couldn’t switch heads with Sang Wan Ci and suffer this pain herself.

If it really was the system, then just hurt her, don’t torture her girlfriend.

Her girlfriend was so cute and beautiful, how could the dog system bear to torture her girlfriend!

Sang Wan Ci was lying on her back.

In her eyes, there was a gentleness that belonged only to Lu Zhi Wei.

Her gaze couldn’t help but go lower, landing on Lu Zhi Wei’s lips.

It was a little reddened.

Distracting and fascinating.

She lifted a hand, her fingertips gently touching Lu Zhi Wei’s lips.

Lu Zhi Wei’s hands stopped.

She was about to ask “what’s the matter”, when she heard Sang Wan Ci’s mesmerising voice say ——

“Zhi Wei, I want to kiss you. Can I?”
