Have You Confessed Your Love Today? Chapter 45
byChapter 45 Chapter 45 Pursuit
Wise and enlightened was silent for a long time.He stared at Zhu Fu Gaoming, his kite-colored eyes behind the lenses showing his presence.
Seeing Zhu Fu Gaoming’s unyielding blue eyes, Mingzhi Jianwu sighed as if he was admitting defeat: “Have I ever said that occasionally I feel that our tacit understanding is a bit redundant.”
Zhu Fu Gaoming said: “I never said that.”
Mingzhi Jianwu looked at him angrily and amusedly: “Gao Ming, you can’t just say something just because the answer is not good for you.”
Zhu Fu Gaoming changed his words without changing his expression: “I’m sorry, I forgot.”
Mingzhi Jianwu shook his head helplessly and asked, “Can I refuse the pursuit?”
Zhu Fu Gaoming replied without changing his expression: “Generally speaking, you only have the option to refuse when you confess.”
Mingzhi Jianwu said distressedly: “I don’t understand, Gao Ming, you didn’t even want to tell me before, but now you say you want to pursue me.”
He paused and pinched the bridge of his nose: “I never thought that this word would have something to do with us.”
Zhufu Gaoming’s blue eyes sparkled, and he pretended to be surprised and said, “I thought you should be used to being pursued.”
“Yes, so the focus of this matter is you.” Mingzhi Jianyu said calmly, “Gao Ming, I was confused by you.”
“My pleasure.” Zhu Fu Gaoming smiled softly, which could be called a brilliant smile, “I just want a chance. Since you already know, then…”
Mingzhi Jianwu pointed out: “Gao Ming, you just said you didn’t want me to be troubled.”
“But you’re not as troubled as I imagined.” Zhu Fu replied immediately, “Jianwu, you behave…”
He seemed to be thinking about the words, but then gave up after a few seconds and confessed his feelings: “Jianwu, you make me feel that I am not hopeless.”
Do I have it?
Akechi Kenwu frowned slightly, thinking about his performance.Could it be that he acted too calm?But because this kind of thing made him speak harshly to Zhu Fu Gaoming, there was no need for the two of them to stay away from each other forever.
However, seeing the clever faces in front of him, Mingzhi Jianwu raised his eyebrows: “Maybe it’s just that I didn’t show my rejection for the sake of friendship.”
Zhu Fu Gaoming sighed. This time, his tone was not disappointed, but filled with a different kind of satisfaction: “Jianwu, I can see that.”
Yes, they have known each other for so long, so long… Akechi Kenwu suddenly felt like he had lost, as if there was some emotion burning in his heart.
He looked at Zhu Fu Gaoming, as if he was getting to know his friend again: “Gao Ming, I thought I knew you equally well before.”
Zhu Fu Gaoming could feel the wise and enlightened eyes scanning his brows and eyes inch by inch, not missing the slightest detail.
He felt his blood heat up with the other person’s gaze. His sweetheart was watching him seriously, focusing all his attention on him, and Zhu Fu Gaoming’s heart felt hot.
He looked back at the other party seriously, not knowing what he wanted to find in those kite eyes.Zhu Fu Gaoming said carefully: “You do…understand me, Jianwu.”
Mingzhi Jianwu shook his head under the expectant gaze of Zhu Fu Gaoming, and the corners of his mouth curled into an indescribable arc: “Don’t you think it’s ironic to say this at this time?”
“Because I also understand you.” Zhu Fu Gaoming said.Under his deliberate concealment, Mingzhi Jianwu would not have considered their feelings in that direction.
Mingzhi Jianwu said sharply: “I learned that I have been in love with you for thirteen years and dare not confess it.”
“This is my cowardice.” Zhu Fu Gaoming admitted calmly, “You are not interested in men. I dare not speculate on your true reaction.”
Especially when the two of them are about to graduate and work separately, if Akechi Kengo chooses to alienate him, there will be almost no room for recovery of their friendship.
Zhizhi Jianwu understood the implication of Zhu Fu Gaoming’s words: “Now you are not worried?”
Zhu Fu Gaoming nodded with a slight smile, but still said rationally: “Since you already know, I may still be alienated even if I don’t do anything.”
“I have no intention of alienating you, Gao Ming.” Mingzhi Jianwu said slowly after pondering for a moment, “But now I wonder if I did something wrong?”
Zhu Fu Gaoming’s blue eyes showed joy, and he said half-jokingly: “You rarely reflect on yourself.”
Akechi Kenwu leaned forward slightly, increasing his sense of oppression like an interrogation: “So the reason why your attitude changed so much was just because my reaction was not as expected?”
Zhufu Gaoming turned away slightly, not looking at Mingzhi Jianwu. His eyes fell on the swaying moonlight on the ground. His tone remained calm and he explained: “Your attitude is a surprise to me, Jianwu.”
“Your reaction surprised me.” Akechi pointed out sharply, “But it’s too late for me to refuse now, right?”
“Yes.” Zhufu Gaoming laughed again, his blue eyes seemed to be lit by the moonlight, and he was full of energy, “Jianwu, you gave me hope.”
Mingzhi Jianwu nodded seriously, took a sip of the cold water in his hand.
The cool water poured into his throat, extinguishing the fire that was fueled by unknown emotions in his heart.Akechi Kenwu turned the empty water glass in his hand and asked calmly: “Am I kidnapped by morality now?”
Zhufu Gaoming took the water glass in his hand, poured another glass of water and put it back in Mingzhi Jianwu’s hand, and said helplessly: “Jianwu, you are talking about what I can do to you.”
In fact, after the secret of the thirteen-year crush was exposed, he was the one in the lower position, wasn’t he?
Mingzhi Jianwu thought for a moment and asked curiously: “Then what do you want to do to me, Gao Ming?”
Zhu Fu Gaoming fell into silence.His eyes followed the traces of the moonlight and landed on Akechi Kenwu. He moved up to frame Akechi Kenwu’s handsome face, and then moved away again. He picked up the water glass and took a sip of water with his Adam’s apple rolling.
This time it was Akechi Kengo’s turn to smile.He raised the corner of his mouth as if teasing: “Gao Ming, you haven’t thought about it yet?”
Zhufu Gaoming looked at Mingzhi Jianwu again and said calmly: “After all, I originally planned to keep this intention as a lifelong secret.”
Mingzhi Jianwu looked at his serious expression and lowered his eyes slightly.His face was reflected on the water in the glass of water in his hand, and ripples appeared on the water, disturbing a pool of spring water.
Mingzhi Jianwu compromised and said: “Gao Ming, you know I won’t agree to you just because of guilt.”
“Of course I know.” Zhufu Gaoming finally revealed the emotions he had hidden for many years, and said in a cold tone, “After all, I am the one who watched you reject countless suitors.”
“So, have you ever been jealous?” Akechi realized the problem belatedly.
“Yes.” Zhu Fu Gaoming said with emotion, “I once thought about why I couldn’t have such courage. But after seeing them rejected by you, I thought that my choice not to confess was right. Now that I think about it, it was just self-comfort.”
It was precisely because he had seen people who failed to confess their love being mercilessly alienated by Akechi Kengo that Zhu Fu Gaoming firmly decided to hide the secret – Akechi Kengo was heterosexual, so there was no need to even try.
Akechi Kenwu nodded to show that he understood.Then, he added seemingly casually: “I really want to say that your choice is correct and wise, just like now I don’t know how to continue to get along with you as if nothing has happened. However, I don’t seem to be a qualified friend to let you struggle alone for so long.”
“It doesn’t have to be like this, Jianwu.” Zhufu Gaoming slowed down his tone and said with relief, “This will not change the happy time we spend together.”
“Really?” Mingzhi Jianwu has never had a crush on anyone and cannot empathize with him.After a brief thought, he decided to accept Zhu Fu Gaoming’s statement.
If this time was filled with pain, it probably wouldn’t last this long.
Time won’t turn back, and he won’t accept others just because of guilt, so there’s no point in continuing to dwell on this.
Zhu Fu Gaoming said: “I am not asking for trouble.”
“I believe you.” Akechi Kengo took off his glasses and put them aside, which meant that today’s conversation was over. “Although I now have doubts about my confidence in judging whether you are lying. And, I will not relax my standards just because the pursuer is you.”
