Chapter 44

“Alright.” Ning An pulled Qiu Yan and ran for a while before walking and stopping at a bench. They were already some distance away from the ocean tunnel. It seemed like that person still hasn’t caught up yet. Ning An let go of Qiu Yan’s hand and asked: “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay.” Qiu Yan was blushing hard, partly because they had just run a distance, but a larger part was because Ning An was holding his hand. He didn’t dare to believe it. Were they really holding hands just then?

“I’m sorry, I suddenly pulled you along and ran.” Ning An motioned for Qiu Yan to also sit down on the bench. “Before I give you a response, I hope that you can answer a few of my questions.”

Qiu Yan’s face instantly reddened all the way to his neck. He actually said it out loud. For real…… Is this too sudden? Does Ning An Ge like this? “Okay. Ning An Ge, please ask.”

“You say that you like me. I want to know, how long have you liked me? And also, why do you like me?”

“It might have been when Ning An Ge saved me. At that time, I thought that Ning An Ge was very handsome.” Qiu Yan nervously looked at Ning An, who indicated for him to continue.

“I think Ning An Ge is very gentle, and you also don’t lose to Alphas in strength. That day, if it weren’t for you, then I might have really…… Simply put, I think I started liking Ning An Ge from that time!”

“But do you really think that you like me in that way?” Ning An smiled. “If it wasn’t me on that day, but another person who saved you, would you still like me? If we had only met at the social meetup, would you be interested in me?”

“If Ning An Ge didn’t save me on that day……” It was the first time that Qiu Yan considered this kind of possibility. In that case, the staff members would clear the area. Even if an Alpha came, he could also just lock the door and wait for the strike team to arrive. Or perhaps the Alpha would break down the door and enter? “I don’t know……”

“Then let’s not think about what happened that day. If you met Fu Ke and I at a social gathering, who would you choose?”

“…… Fu Ke.” Qiu Yan struggled for a while but still said Fu Ke’s name in the end. It was natural for Alphas and Omegas to be attracted to each other. There’s no need to mention others; his first choice would definitely be Fu Ke.

“I guessed so. If I were you, I would also choose him.” Ning An slightly relaxed his gaze. “You are just grateful towards me. It’s not the kind of like you think it is. Now, giving your heart to someone who helped you is already out of style.”

“Dea, yea……” Hle Tjc xfqa agslcu ab fzqijlc yea tf mbeivc’a rjs jcsatlcu, rb tf jczlberis ufraegfv klat tlr tjcvr.

“Alright, don’t look so down.” Ning An rubbed Qiu Yan’s head. “Wait until you’re completely sure of your feelings before talking about a relationship. Since we came to the aquarium, we shouldn’t let it go to waste. Let’s continue to look around. I hope that the number of visitors allowed into the penguin park hasn’t reached the limit yet.”

“I will figure it out.” Qiu Yan suddenly grabbed Ning An’s clothes and firmly said: “I will figure out my feelings and prove it to Ning An Ge.”

“En, okay. Gratitude and liking are two different emotions, you can’t mix them up. Now, let’s go have fun?”

“Okay, why don’t we go back to the ocean tunnel? I wasn’t really looking around before.”

“Sure, let’s go.”

On the other side, several rounds of fireworks were continuously exploding in He Xin’s mind. He stared blankly at Derek with his mouth wide open.

Seeing him like this, Derek felt that he might have scared him. Ah, that wasn’t good. He can’t be scared just from this, right? Derek moved his face closer until their foreheads were almost touching. “Well? Do you accept? If you don’t say anything, I’ll just take it as a silent agreement. I’ll kiss you next?”

Seeing a handsome face suddenly enlarge in front of his eyes, He Xin jumped in fright and retreated a few steps. Then hearing Derek’s words, he covered his mouth and looked away. “What are you doing?! We’re in a public place with so many people! So embarrassing……”

“What’s wrong with kissing my boyfriend? No one is watching.” Derek pulled He Xin back. “You still haven’t answered whether you accept or not.”

“I……” When it really arrived at this moment, He Xin started to hesitate. How could such a popular and attractive person like Derek fancy him? “I don’t know……”

Everything was written on his face. Derek could tell that he was thinking nonsense again. “How can you not know? I’ll ask you, do you hate me?”

“Don’t hate.”

“Then do you think I’m good?”

“Very good.”

“Then do you like me?”

“…… Like.”

Finally getting the answer he wanted to hear out of He Xin’s mouth, Derek took his hand. “Then isn’t that fine. If you don’t even want such an outstanding boyfriend like me who’s delivered himself to your door, then what else do you want?”

“Someone like you is already very good.”

Although Derek knew that He Xin was still a little confused by the situation, he was happy that they were now considered to be together. “Then, can I now kiss my boyfriend?”

“No!” He Xin covered his mouth again and his eyes wandered around.

“Relax, no one is looking. You don’t need to feel embarrassed.”

“But, but the fish are looking.” He Xin pointed at the fish swimming about behind the glass.

Derek’s face suddenly stiffened. He quickly lowered his head onto He Xin’s shoulder and softly laughed.

“Why are you laughing? I’m not wrong, the fish will really see it.”

“Okay, okay, I won’t kiss.” Ah, my little boyfriend is shy. In any case, there are plenty of opportunities to kiss in the future. “Let’s continue to look around?”

He Xin nodded in reply. Walking beside Derek, he kept looking down at their hands that were held together. They are now confirmed to be in a relationship, so the two of them walking around like this, isn’t it…… a date?

“It is a date.” Derek suddenly said, causing He Xin to jolt his head up in shock.

“Did I just say that?”

This foolish look, it really makes me want to tease him. Derek pressed down the urge in his heart and replied: “You, your thoughts are written all over your face. It’s easy to guess what you’re thinking.”

“Is it that obvious? Then from now on, I’ll keep my face as expressionless as possible.” Although he said this, He Xin soon failed when he saw a whale. His joy was overflowing in his words. “Look, look! It’s soooooooooooo big!”

On this side, Derek had confessed and smoothly found himself a partner, while on the other side, Fu Ke couldn’t even tail someone properly. He was very certain that Ning An had noticed him before pulling Qiu Yan away.

Fu Ke sat dejectedly in the dining area of the aquarium, wondering what on earth he was doing. This time, how was he going to explain things to Ning An? His heart was in chaos, and his mind was a tangled mess of Ning An and Qiu Yan holding hands, as well as the words Qiu Yan had said to Ning An in the ocean tunnel.
