Chapter 211 - Shus Confession
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Yet Pinliang didnât really deserve that from Mengyao- even he realized what Yushu was doing after falling for her tricks the first few times.
But what if it really were Mengyao asking for it? What if Yushu wasnât lying that one time?? Pinliang would be in tears if something like that happened.
As a result, heâd always carry out the requests, even when he knew Yushu was lying... Just in case it was actually Mengyao. Better safe than sorry.
Mengyao, on the other hand, was quite looking forward to Yushuâs big moment. She finished her food quickly and noticed Yushu still nibbling at her swordfish slowly. âShu, whyâre you eating so slowly?â
âItâs healthier! Itâs not like we have anything important to do, whatâs the rush?â Yushu mumbled incoherently with the fish in her mouth. âWhat, did you have something to do, Yao Yao?â
Yao Yao couldnât believe this woman- of course they had something important to do! Hmph, keep it up Shu. Weâll see how long you can drag this out.....
Mengyao watched as Yushu took her time- it was quite a while before she patted her belly, satisfied. âIâm full... Hm? Yao Yao, you and Shield Bro are done already? You two sure are hitting it off!â
âIs that so?â Mengyao hmphed softly. âShu, didnât you tell me youâve something important to say to LIn Yi? Didnât you say something about taking that big step in life? Well? Isnât now a good time? Iâm interested in what that is, too.â
Lin Yi was preparing to go back to his room when Mengyaoâs words stopped him- he connected it to what Yushu had whispered to him earlier. Turning back to face Yushu, he wondered what she wanted to say- could this be the show he was supposed to put on?
âYeah.... So Iâll say it right now?â Yushu looked at Mengyao, and looked at Lin Yi, fidgeting a little- the time had come.
âYeah.â Mengyao urged.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShield Bro..! I.. like you...... Iâve actually had a crush on you for a really long time......â Yushu said, standing up all of a sudden and looking into Lin Yiâs eyes with her hands in front of her chest. It reminded her of that game she played... where there was this girl making a confession under a tree.
âUhh......â Lin Yi blinked at the confession- this was probably what Yushu was talking about earlier. With that, Lin Yi stood up with a burst and grabbed Yushuâs hands. âShu, I like you too!! Iâve actually liked you since the first time I came to the villa!! Iâve just never had the courage to confess- I actually really like you and Yao Yao......â
Mengyao coughed a bit- what was Lin Yi doing, pulling her into that mess? She wasnât feeling very good from what Lin Yi was saying to Yushu, too- was he accepting her confession?
He wasnât that shallow, was he? Accepting Yushuâs confession right away, just like that? He looked so excited, too, as if heâd been waiting for this moment for so long... Mengyao was feeling really conflicted at this point. She forced on a smile. âShu, I didnât know you liked him?â
Yushu, on the other hand, was really panicking, not expecting this strong a reaction from Lin Yi, who even grabbed on her hand to confess to her!! Her heart was thumping as she tried to understand what was happening. Shield Bro likes me?? No way... I thought he liked Yao Yao!!!
But she did tell him to put on a show with her... Was he acting?
Yushu sighed in relief, but felt a slight bit of disappointment... Would Shield Bro accept her confession if she did it for real? She blushed at the thought.
Mengyaoâs coughs brought her back to reality, and she looked at Mengyao shyly. âI... Yao Yao!! I confessed, so leave this all behind! Donât talk about this anymore!â
âLin Yi, arenât you gonna say something?â Mengyao asked, curious at Lin Yi having calmed down and returned to normal already. The guy had been so excited just a moment ago, too.
âSay what?â Lin Yi said as he sat back down. âI did, I accepted her confession.â
âJust like that? Nothing else?â Mengyao said, suspicious.
âWhat else is there? Who knows if sheâs being serious or not.â Lin Yi shrugged. âSheâs always like that isnât she.â
âUgh......â Mengyao opened her mouth, but didnât say anything. So Lin Yi knew that Yushu wasnât being serious?
Her disappointment had a slight relief to it- so Lin Yi wasnât accepting her confession? She didnât know what to think anymore, her mind was a complete mess! She needed to go think things through quietly in her room!
âShu, come with me!â Mengyao said as she pulled Yushu upstairs with her, leaving Lin Yi at the table, all alone...
Yushu turned her head back to make a face at Lin Yi, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yi smiled- what were these girls even doing?
He put the leftovers away, thinking of making a dish with swordfish tomorrow as he went back to his room, not thinking much of Yushuâs confession. Heâd been warned from the start, after all.
Mengyao, on the other hand, had thoughts piling up inside of her... What if Shu hadnât got stuck today? What if she lost? Would she have confessed to him, and would Lin Yi have treated her seriously if she did?
She wasnât like Yushu, after all- she didnât bounce all over to place, and Lin Yi mightâve just believed her... Mengyao was starting to regret closing Lin Yiâs door- she shouldâve just hid in there and let Shu find her...
But why would she want to confess to Lin Yi in the first place? She didnât even like him? Mengyao shook her head, trying to push the mess in her brain away.
âYao Yao... what do you want.....â Yushu asked as she went up with Mengyao.
âShu, why didnât he believe your confession?â Mengyao wasnât sure what she was asking at this point- nothing made sense anymore.
âOh... I guess what I say isnât very believable...â Yushu said as she rubbed her head. âI always do dumb stuff?â
âThat might be it......â Mengyao said, shaking her head. âAlright, sorry Shu, I went overboard today... Shouldnât have forced you to confess to him- itâs pretty bad for your reputation. Good thing Lin Yi didnât believe you... How would you get ever get a boyfriend if word gets out?â
âUh.....â
