Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Lin Mubai’s Answer to Little Jia You
Although it wasn’t a clear affection, it was already enough to satisfy An Jiayou.
He got up, leaving the confused person in the living room on the sofa, and headed to his room. Pushing the door open, he directly met the gaze of the person standing at the door: "You heard everything."
Lin Mubai nodded but did not speak.
"Do you have any thoughts then?"
Lin Mubai continued to shake his head.
"Alright, then listen to me next."
Afterwards, Little Jia You spoke a long piece: "Based on my understanding of An Nan, if she had no feelings at all, she would directly say so. But now, she only said she doesn’t hate it. I think she’s moved, and her only reservation, I believe you know well. So, what is your intention?"
Sometimes, although many truths are clear to everyone, overthinking just can’t compare to someone else’s simple statement. Even someone as smart as Lin Mubai has his moment of enlightenment after hearing the little guy’s words. A smile reached the corners of his eyes, overshadowing the previous gloom.
Raising his chiseled and handsome face, he directly locked eyes with the expectant gaze of the little guy before him, answering word by word with force: "My greatest wish is the same as yours, to make An Nan happy."
"Great, I hope you keep your word."
"I definitely will." Lin Mubai has never been indecisive; once he’s set on An Nan, she will be the one.
"Alright, I’ll help you."
"Thank you."
Gently shaking his head, Little Jiayou continued: "Some things I can’t tell you now. In the future, let her tell you herself. My only hope is, by that time, your attitude will still be as firm as today."
"Alright, I will." Some things he will know eventually; if the little guy doesn’t say it, there must be a reason. Even though he’s only a twelve-year-old child, he will respect him.
In the room, the big and small reached a sort of agreement. In the living room outside, a slender figure continued to curl up on the sofa, gazing blankly forward. Upon closer inspection, you would find that the dark eyes lacked any focus.
It wasn’t until Lin Mubai appeared before her again that she noticed.
Without saying a word, Lin Mubai gently sat beside her, stretching his arm to draw her into his embrace, his voice carrying pity and helplessness: "Alright, don’t be like this. I said I wouldn’t force you. We’ll take it slow. My only hope is that you don’t reject me, okay?"
The pleading tone brought An Nan back from her daze. Her astonished gaze fell upon the chiseled handsome face beside her, staring for a long time without saying a word.
"Why? Why me?" After a long while, An Nan murmured as if puzzled, as if uncertain.
Lin Mubai gently curled the corners of his mouth into a smile and said, "I don’t know why it has to be you either. Alright, fool, don’t think too much. It’s late now, rest first, okay?"
"Okay."
It wasn’t until the slender figure of the little woman disappeared behind the door that Lin Mubai reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Although he said he would wait, not hearing that definitive answer left him quite disappointed inside. How he wished to hear the words: "I want to be your girlfriend."
