TRMLCM Chapter 44
by VolareSeeing Shen Chang’an smile, Cheng Yi realized how silly he had just looked. He tried to restrain the delighted smile on his face, but he couldn’t suppress the corners of his mouth no matter how hard he tried.
He grinned and asked, “An’an, will you date me?”
As he said this, his deep black eyes sparkled with bright light, staring intently at the person on the screen, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation.
Shen Chang’an tilted his head slightly, his fair cheeks still tinged with a hint of red. A drop of water quietly slid down his long eyelashes. His eyes were smiling as he asked, seemingly puzzled, “Brother Yi… who confesses like this?”
No flowers, no gifts, just dryly wanting to start a relationship?
No girl would want that.
Although Shen Chang’an wasn’t a girl…
Hearing his disappointed words, Cheng Yi calmed down. Thinking about it, he realized he had been too impulsive, completely deviating from his original plan. But he couldn’t help it, hearing Shen Chang’an’s confession overwhelmed him, joy rushed to his head, and he lost control.
A hint of annoyance flashed in his deep black eyes as he carefully scrutinized Shen Chang’an’s expression. Seeing the teasing smile in Shen Chang’an’s eyes, he realized that the other was playing with him.
Shen Chang’an wasn’t someone who cared about rituals; he just didn’t want their relationship to progress too quickly, so he was being slippery with Cheng Yi.
Actually, it couldn’t be blamed on either of them for not being able to control their emotions just now.
It was all the fault of the alluring night…
Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow, leaning back against the headboard, his tense heart relaxing, his expression full of pleasure. He curled his lips and said confidently and arrogantly, “This isn’t your Brother Yi’s confession, it’s just my notification.”
“I will prepare a grand confession ceremony, and you will belong to me sooner or later.”
With his eyebrows raised, the confident and arrogant words coming from this young master of a wealthy family didn’t sound greasy at all. The addition of this touch of frivolousness to his handsome face instead made his entire demeanor more prominent, making people admire and be captivated even more.
Shen Chang’an’s heart was secretly pounding. He was like a little girl waiting to be married, having received a promise from her beloved, a blush appearing on his cheeks. This crimson color was very alluring in the dim light. His red lips parted slightly, and he softly said, “…Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
He wanted to see what kind of surprise this proud young master would give him.
But just thinking about it, a hint of anticipation couldn’t help but rise in those clear, rippling eyes.
A beauty under the lamp is the most enchanting.
Under the soft light, Shen Chang’an’s seemingly shy appearance fell into Cheng Yi’s eyes, and his eyes couldn’t help but darken. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, as if a white feather was gently sweeping across his heart, a tingling sensation traveling from his heart along the bloodstream to his entire body.
His lazy voice carried a hint of low, husky meaning, softly calling Shen Chang’an’s name.
“An’an.”
Hearing this, Shen Chang’an raised his eyes to look at him, the question in his eyes seeming to silently ask him what was wrong.
But Cheng Yi looked at him without saying anything.
After waiting for a while, the other still didn’t speak. Shen Chang’an blinked and softly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Cheng Yi chuckled softly. He said without any embarrassment, “Nothing, I just wanted to call your name.”
Looking at his unhurried appearance, Shen Chang’an’s lips curved upward, and he said with a smile, “Do you know what you looked like just now?”
Cheng Yi lifted his eyelids, as if trying to guess the answer the other wanted to say, but he couldn’t figure it out, so he curiously asked, “Like what?”
Shen Chang’an: “I have a cat, it usually doesn’t like to pay attention to me, but once my attention isn’t on it, it will circle around me, meowing softly, and won’t stop until I smooth its fur.”
Seeing Cheng Yi’s slightly widened eyes as if in disbelief, the smile in Shen Chang’an’s eyes deepened. He shook his head slightly and said helplessly, “You look even more like Berber now.”
Berber was also like this. As soon as he said something bad about it in its ear, Berber would stare at him with wide eyes, its cat pupils full of disbelief and resentment.
Shen Chang’an glanced at the cat nest. Berber was already sleeping with his eyes closed. In order not to provoke this proud young master, he didn’t go over to the cat nest.
Being compared to a cat by his beloved, Cheng Yi was both in disbelief and annoyed, his deep black eyes becoming clear and bright.
But on second thought, this was An’an’s cat, it must be very cute and beautiful, maybe even very handsome. It also likes An’an very much, which is indeed similar to him.
Cheng Yi wasn’t angry at all, but if Shen Chang’an said that about him, then he also had something to say.
A glint of light flickered in his eyes, hiding a trace of doting. He raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “Then An’an, do you know what you look like?”
Seeing that he wasn’t angry, Shen Chang’an lowered his eyes slightly in disappointment. Hearing this, he thought for a moment, blinked, and asked in confusion, “What do I look like?”
While tapping his finger lightly on the screen, Cheng Yi instructed Shen Chang’an, his voice magnetic and gentle, “Shrink the video screen and go back to our chat interface.”
Shen Chang’an lowered his eyes and looked at the phone screen, listening to his voice and following his instructions. “Okay, then what?”
“See my avatar?” Cheng Yi clicked his tongue and sighed, “You really are a cunning fox.”
He didn’t know why, but he could always understand the emotions in Shen Chang’an’s eyes. For example, just now when Shen Chang’an’s eyes lit up, he knew that the other person wasn’t holding back any good words, but he still chose to be a clueless fool and cooperated little by little.
Looking at the little white fox smiling happily in the avatar, Shen Chang’an’s eyes curved, and he wasn’t angry.
He suddenly remembered that Cheng Yi had said before that he had a little fox, but when he asked the other person later, the other person said he didn’t. So… it wasn’t that he didn’t have one, he just didn’t want to tell this fox of his.
Was Cheng Yi interested in him so early?
Thinking back to the timeline, Shen Chang’an realized that the time when the other person’s heart had been moved was actually about the same as his. The difference was that he had figured it out immediately, while the other person had unknowingly been protecting him from the beginning, sinking without realizing it, until later when he suddenly understood.
Understanding these things, Shen Chang’an’s heart was wrapped in layers of warmth, and his eyes couldn’t help but fill with smiles.
It seemed that Cheng Yi had always been supporting and accompanying him. With him by his side, he really felt a strong sense of security. It seemed that no matter how he flew, the other person could hold him up like a long wind, sending him higher.
He suddenly said, “Cheng Yi, thank you.”
Thank you for liking me.
Hearing this inexplicable thanks, Cheng Yi rubbed his messy hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
Weren’t they talking about the fox?
Why did he suddenly say thank you?
Cheng Yi’s black eyes widened slightly, but looking at Shen Chang’an’s clear, sincere eyes, his heart beat inexplicably faster, and even his consciousness blurred slightly.
An’an… how are you cheating…
