Chapter 231 I Love You Because the Two Are Already Dating

We've already said those direct love confessions like 'I like you, and you like me.'

We even call each other 'Good Baby.'

Chen Yuan really couldn't think of anything, besides maybe 'You annoying thing,' that could make him shudder.

So, he had prepared himself. Whatever Xia Xinyu said, whether touching, sweet, or slightly sad, he would do his best to reciprocate.

Even though he knew it was impossible to be more moved than by 'I'm your girlfriend.'

But at this moment, he was completely stunned.

The expression and reaction he had prepared completely vanished, his mind a blank.

Completely frozen.

It felt like being shot in the heart.

Although he hadn't been shot before, he had experienced the feeling of being shot in advance.

It was like taking a visa-free trip to the US.

So, what should I do…

Did she just bite my ear?

Damn, what kind of trick is that!

She's copying me.

Xia Xinyu is stealing my moves!

But she only learned the surface. I go straight for the whole thing, while she just gently touched it, like a dragonfly skimming the water…

But it stirred ripples in Chen Yuan's heart.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Yuan stunned, Xia Xinyu reached out and waved a hand in front of him, looking puzzled.

At the same time, she felt a little smug.

She could tell that Chen Yuan was really shocked. Even though they were already together and had confessed before, people still get moved.

Otherwise, why would he freeze up?

"Oh," Chen Yuan responded, then lowered his head, burying half his face in his scarf, as if the wind was too cold and he wanted to use the scarf to keep warm.

Thank goodness for this chilly moonlit night, so his embarrassment wouldn't be so obvious.

"Crying?"

Xia Xinyu curiously pulled Chen Yuan's scarf down a little, and then saw that his face was actually red…

Chen Yuan, who always had a somewhat aloof air and never blushed easily, was now like a young girl… no, more like herself, blushing so easily.

"Hey, it's a little cold… stop it."

Chen Yuan pulled the scarf back up, then stared at the woman who, now that she'd realized what she'd done, was practically bursting with smugness. He wished he could devour her whole.

Too hateful, too hateful.

She used that move.

Who could resist that?

Bro, it's not my fault.

If it were you, you'd lose even faster.

"Say something, how come you're not reacting at all?"

Xia Xinyu knew very well that her attack was high-level, that Chen Yuan was already somewhat dazed, but she still deliberately rubbed it in, leaning closer to observe Chen Yuan's expression.

Then, a hand grabbed her collar.

Lowering his head, Chen Yuan lifted her up slightly, then forcefully kissed Xia Xinyu's lips.

Glug glug…

Instantly, Xia Xinyu's cheeks turned completely red because she couldn't breathe.

Then, Chen Yuan let go, looked at her, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "Your face is so red, what's wrong?"

Chen Yuan's classic blame-shifting!

"Wasn't it you who did it? And you're a bit rough…" Although Xia Xinyu said that, she didn't feel the fear of impending domestic violence when she was lifted up just now.

She even guessed what Chen Yuan's next move would be.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have opened her mouth so precisely.

It's just that Chen Yuan likes to cheat too much, actually blowing air…

"Say it again."

Chen Yuan frantically took out his phone, preparing to record this sacred moment.

Ah, no, record a video.

Make a short video to anger the netizens.

"Ah?" Seeing Chen Yuan take out his phone and wanting to record their beautiful life, Xia Xinyu immediately became a little shy and shook her head, "No."

"Yes, you will." Chen Yuan really wanted to hear those three words every day.

Set them as an alarm.

Whenever he felt a little lost and unmotivated, hearing that sentence 'I love you' would instantly perk him up.

His grand ambitions would be ignited!

"No, I won't," Xia Xinyu's face also turned red, avoiding his gaze, unwilling.

"Then let's compromise, just a recording," Chen Yuan suggested.

"Ah…" Xia Xinyu was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse his enthusiastic demeanor. In the end, she had no choice but to nod, "Then go ahead."

"Okay, okay, thank you Yu… Yu Bao."

And so, Chen Yuan took out his phone, turned on the recording, and placed the phone in front of Xia Xinyu.

She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and after a little brewing, slowly opened her mouth:

"He, tui."

"?" Chen Yuan just watched as Xia Xinyu made such a strange onomatopoeia while recording on the phone, and then giggled after saying it, as if she was smug about a successful prank.

He… tui my ass!

Who taught you to be so cheeky?

"I'm really sorry."

Xia Xinyu waved her hand, saying with some difficulty, "This kind of thing requires the right time, place, and people. It just so happened that I loved you a little, so I said it. Now it seems… I don't love you that much anymore, hehe."

"He your head," Chen Yuan pinched Xia Xinyu's cheeks directly, saying quite irritably, "How can you love me one moment and not love me the next? You want to change your mind, don't you?"

"No… I… no, I don't." Xia Xinyu shook her head while her cheeks were being pinched, explaining in a muffled voice.

"Then what does it mean?" Chen Yuan let go of her hand and asked.

Xia Xinyu thought for a while, then said, "I've always liked you a lot, and that won't change at all. But the word 'love' always feels a little mature for a child like me to say… It's not that my feelings for you aren't enough, it's just a little embarrassing."

Love and like are different in degree.

But it's not just a matter of degree.

The word 'love' seems to be inherently more formal, exceeding ordinary emotions.

Otherwise, why are the words before love always paternal love, maternal love, great love, and so on.

It's so natural for family members to say love to each other.

"I feel like you're avoiding it," Chen Yuan wasn't satisfied with this answer.

Xia Xinyu had no choice but to hand Chen Yuan a small notebook that she kept in her skirt pocket, saying, "I've always had the habit of writing notes, sometimes in the memo app, sometimes in a notebook. This is all true feelings. Look at it, if you still say I don't love you after reading it… hey, then I'll be too wronged."

"…"

After Xia Xinyu finished speaking pitifully, Chen Yuan reached out and took the palm-sized notebook.

He casually flipped through a page.

The moment his hand touched the writing.

A scene appeared—

In the apartment, Xia Xinyu was blowing an electric fan, her long black hair being ruffled by the fan, but it still didn't dispel the heat, so she simply took off her shirt and shorts…
