AMLFS Chapter 135

Chapter 136: Yes, I Like You

Hearing this voice, Liang Xiuzhu shuddered, almost falling off the stool in fright.

At this moment, no sound could have been more terrifying in the room than Sun Shu’s voice.

Slowly turning his head, Liang Xiuzhu looked towards the bed where Sun Shu was propped up. With an awkward smile on his face, Sun Shu said, “You’re awake… Haha…”

As soon as he said this, Liang Xiuzhu regretted it. It wasn’t like he had done anything wrong, so why was his momentum so weak?!

The dizziness from the sleeping pills and wine made Sun Shu’s head throb. Liang Xiuzhu’s panicked movements and awkward manner indicated that this wasn’t a dream.

Shadow Five had really brought him to Liang Xiuzhu’s house. For a moment, Sun Shu couldn’t tell if he was happy or something else.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the other man’s face, Sun Shu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. It would be better to continue pretending to be drunk than for the two of them to be in such a stiff atmosphere.

At least, Liang Xiuzhu would feel better.

Thinking this, Sun Shu lay back down, pretending to be confused. Looking at the bed curtains above, he realized that he was probably on Liang Xiuzhu’s bed.

The bed curtains and bedding had a faint medicinal fragrance. Thinking of this, Sun Shu couldn’t help but clench his hands under the covers.

Liang Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him lie back down. So he wasn’t awake? That gave him a fright.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Liang Xiuzhu got up from the chair and slowly approached Sun Shu.

Hearing the footsteps, Sun Shu, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, slowed his breathing for the first time.

“Hey!” Liang Xiuzhu walked to the bed and pinched Sun Shu’s face. “Still drunk?”

The wine from the evening hadn’t yet worn off, and Sun Shu’s warm skin was touched by cool fingers.

Like a red-hot coal falling into gunpowder, the surging emotions in his chest spread with Liang Xiuzhu’s touch.

Liang Xiuzhu was quite close, and Sun Shu opened his eyes, staring straight at the beautiful face in front of him.

Like a traveling scholar meeting a thousand-year-old fox spirit, his mind was instantly thrown into chaos.

Seeing that he didn’t react, and his face was even redder than before, staring blankly, Liang Xiuzhu assumed he was still drunk. He became bolder.

He could take advantage of his drunkenness to interrogate him about some things. This was a rare opportunity that wouldn’t come again.

Reaching out to pull his cheeks, Liang Xiuzhu pulled the corners of his lips to the sides. “That’s right, smile. You always have a long face like someone owes you money.”

Speaking of money, Liang Xiuzhu’s hand paused. Looking at the motionless Sun Shu, he said, “Okay, I do owe you money. Thank you, Sun Shu, I will pay you back.”

Sun Shu, lying on the bed, was shocked by his actions. He didn’t dare to act rashly, so he had to maintain his current posture and see what he was going to do.

They say people tell the truth when they’re drunk, but Liang Xiuzhu had never witnessed it.

Now was a good opportunity. So he said to Sun Shu, “From now on, you answer whatever I ask. Do you hear me!”

Hearing this, Sun Shu slowly nodded. His eyes were still on Liang Xiuzhu, and a sense of nervousness rose in his heart.

“Why haven’t you come these past few days?”

“On duty.”

Sun Shu deliberately pretended to be drunk, speaking slowly. In reality, he hadn’t come these past few days because he was afraid that Liang Xiuzhu would feel awkward seeing him.

“Really?” Liang Xiuzhu was a little skeptical. “Isn’t it to avoid me?”

Sun Shu’s eyelashes fluttered, then he slowly shook his head.

Okay, Liang Xiuzhu saw that he didn’t seem to be lying, so he continued to ask, “You… why were you drinking?”

In fact, he only wanted to ask one question, but he didn’t dare to ask it directly. He had to use this roundabout method.

“…” Sun Shu hesitated, his palms clenching. He didn’t know if he should tell the truth.

In his hesitation, he suddenly thought of Shadow Five’s words: Whether he dislikes you or likes you, ask him and find out.

Even if he said something, Liang Xiuzhu would only think it was the ramblings of a drunk. But there weren’t many opportunities for him to say what was in his heart.

Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, Liang Xiuzhu urged, “Speak?”

“Because… I was troubled.” Sun Shu looked to the side, speaking slowly.

Hearing the answer, Liang Xiuzhu’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But thinking that he was about to get closer to the truth, Liang Xiuzhu continued to ask, “Is it because of… me?”

Hearing this, Sun Shu turned his head. His black eyes stared fixedly at Liang Xiuzhu. His heart rate gradually increased. The subtle sounds of breathing intertwined.

Liang Xiuzhu silently gazed at him, a hint of nervousness that he hadn’t even noticed on his face.

“Yes.”

“……..”

His eyes narrowed, and Liang Xiuzhu quickly looked away. He felt his heart begin to race uncontrollably. Hearing others talk about it and hearing Sun Shu say it were completely different.

A tingling, itchy sensation sprouted in his heart, forcing Liang Xiuzhu to become flustered. He stood up with a whoosh.

Seeing his big reaction, the light in Sun Shu’s eyes dimmed. He also propped himself up and sat up.

Liang Xiuzhu walked around the room twice to calm himself down, his ears flushed.

But he still wanted to know the final answer.

Walking to the bed and not noticing Sun Shu’s abnormality, Liang Xiuzhu took two deep breaths and finally asked, “Then do you like me? Is that right?”

Finally asking the question, Liang Xiuzhu only felt his heart pounding like thunder. His eyes were fixed on Sun Shu.

Seeing him come back to ask himself this question, Sun Shu was obviously a little surprised. He thought that Liang Xiuzhu would show disgust after finding out.

It didn’t seem to be the case.

His eyes fell on the beautiful face, and at this moment, the person in front of him had the same unease and nervousness as him. Sun Shu couldn’t help but reach out and stroke his head, pressing him closer to himself with his large palm.

The two were close, their breaths mingling. He suddenly leaned in, and before Liang Xiuzhu could react, he saw Sun Shu’s handsome face falling towards him.

In that instant, Liang Xiuzhu’s mind went blank. What was happening at this moment was far beyond his imagination.

His hands and feet felt like they were filled with lead, and he was frozen in place, unable to move.

Only a warm breath came from his lips. Sun Shu lowered his head and kissed him lightly. “Yes, I like you.”

“I like you, Liang Xiuzhu.”

He was as if he had been cursed, hopelessly in love with Liang Xiuzhu.

He clearly used to find him unpleasant in every way, but his figure had long been lingering in his mind.

His stupidity, his fragility, his vulgarity, his crudeness, his unreasonableness. It was as if they were engraved in his mind, and every time he thought of them, he felt a tremor in his heart.

When did it start?

He didn’t know. Perhaps it was when he insisted on fighting alongside him during their escape, even though he had no martial arts skills, or perhaps it was his panicked reaction when he thought he had died, or perhaps it was the inexplicable anger he felt when he was joking with others.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already hopelessly in love.

Now he presented his feelings, and Liang Xiuzhu was his judge.
