Chapter 142: Chapter 142 “I like you” Arc Part 3

The soundtrack on the TV stopped abruptly. It seemed to have entered a tense section. The horrible silence should have been fearful, but at this moment, Liusu and I could clearly hear each other’s rapid heartbeat.

After a long silence, as a man, I knew that I needed to take responsibility. After swallowing hard, I took the lead to break the silence, “Liusu, I’m sorry, I…”

“Yesterday, Mo Fei invited me to dinner. I turned off my phone on purpose.”

Coincidence? Liusu spoke at the same time, and I was dazed. After realizing what she was talking about, I couldn’t help but sit up suddenly, “On purpose?! Why? !” After I asked, I came back to my senses. Why was I agitated?

Maybe it’s because I suspected this for a long time, but I deliberately told myself not to think about this possibility…

“Nannan, are you and Mo Fei really just friends?” After all, Liusu is still a girl, and she was still embarrassed to face me. Lying sideways, she curled up and hugged her knees, the pitiful appearance made me feel guilty.

“Yes…” I didn’t want to leave room for a guilty conscience and said frankly: “I have dreamt about her before, but those were just fantasies. Now I understand that I can only be friends with her.”

“Why? Because you think she doesn’t like you?”

“Because she and I live in two different worlds…” I want to say, because of you, Cheng Liusu! However, I don’t have that courage, and I lack some confidence.

Chu Nan, is your face really that thin? I secretly scolded myself for having such little confidence in myself.

I was afraid that Liusu would not believe me, because she knew that I had a crush on Mo Fei, and the last time she kissed me, I slapped her and told her very loudly that I like Mo Fei…

Chu Nan, you really should just kill yourself! God Damnit, I regret it a lot. Why didn’t I face my feelings for Liusu earlier? Why didn’t I make the right choice earlier? It only made both of us suffer.

At this moment, I felt like I had eaten bitter herbs; that bitter tastes…

Liusu’s voice was steady and calm, without any obvious emotions, I couldn’t guess what she was thinking, “What if she likes you?”

I frowned, “Liusu, what do you want to say? Don’t beat around the bush, okay?” I don’t like this assumption. Greed is the root of man’s evil. What does this assumption mean to me? A test? A man’s giving up his greedy desire is like giving up the flesh on his body. Even if he is cruel to himself, the pain is real.

Does it mean that I want to escape again?

Liusu finally sat up, the bathrobe slipped down, revealing her round and smooth shoulders. Her pretty face was red, but she didn’t seem to want to cover her half-exposed breast, as if she deliberately wanted me to take advantage of her. However, she couldn’t cover the sadness in the corners of her mouth. She pretended to be natural and said: “She said that you have alienated her a bit recently, maybe because of me…”

I was dazed, then suddenly realized what happened, it turned out that Mo Fei was looking for Liusu because I turned down her invitation yesterday!

“Although she didn’t say it directly, the meaning was already obvious. She suspected that I was jealous and I was obstructing you from interacting with her,” Liusu said with a smile, “It’s really strange. Clearly there is nothing going on between us, why does she think that way? She kept saying that you are just friends and begging me not to obstruct your relationship with her, but if there is really nothing between you, does she need to be so overly sensitive? She is Mo Fei, the general manager Mo who can do anything in Fengchang Group! Haughty like a swan, she, who would never talk to a person like me, actually lowered her head to me and begged me repeatedly! Promoting me to the assistant general manager was not because she thought I was capable, but… but…”

Liusu realized she was getting too emotional and quickly suppressed her emotions. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head. She didn’t want to talk about Mo Fei’s right and wrong in front of me, but I didn’t need her to say more. I already understood it. Mo Fei was using the position of assistant to the general manager in exchange for Liusu’s trust, or in other words, to buy Liusu…

Mo Fei mistakenly thought that I alienated her because of Liusu’s jealousy, so I wanted to explain it clearly to Liusu, but this explanation was misunderstood by Liusu, and caused her to suspect Mo Fei’s relationship with me.

I can’t imagine that a woman as shrewd as Mo Fei would think of such a clumsy method, and… this is too insulting!

No wonder Liusu said that I lied to her. Mo Fei’s behavior and attitude would easily cause misunderstanding, but I really didn’t know anything about it! Does Mo Fei like me? I don’t think that I have such great charm, so I can’t explain this complicated problem.

“Nannan, if Mo Fei likes you…”

“Impossible!” I, who always like to analyze problems rationally, lost my calm. I know that I am afraid of all kinds of possibilities.

“I mean ‘if’, ‘maybe’, she also likes you for no reason..” what Liusu said sounded very familiar to me. It seemed that Chu Yuan also said the same thing. Just when I was distracted by her words, I heard Liusu continue to ask: “If your dream girl really likes you, what about you? What would you do?”

I admit that I am fickle, but at this moment, I already have a firm answer, and she is right in front of me!

I moved my body, sat cross-legged in front of Liusu, helped her tidy up her bathrobe, cover her exposed body, and smiled sincerely: “Liusu, I said it’s impossible for me to have a relationship with her. Do I look like someone who can’t differentiate between fantasies and reality? Also, I didn’t lie to you. Perhaps, I didn’t really treat you as a woman before, and because we always had so much fun together so some of our true feelings were buried by the fun. Clearly, the happiness I am seeking is already around me, but I didn’t know it. But now, I have clearly realized that we cannot continue to be buddies in the future, so…”

“We are still buddies, in the past, at the moment, and in the future!”

When I finally gathered my courage and decided to confess to Liusu, she interrupted me resolutely with such a sentence.

I was dumbfounded, but then I saw her smile firmly at me: “Nan Nan, you like Mo Fei, and I know Mo Fei also likes you, I can see that, and a woman’s instinct is absolutely impossible to be wrong. Didn’t I say it before? I will definitely support you!”

Support me? I seemed to be pushed into a bottomless abyss by these two words, and fell to despair at a rapid speed. I trembled. I shouted hysterically, “No! No! Liusu, can’t you feel it after what happened just now? What I like is…”

“Mo Fei!” Liusu, who is always very bad at acting, smiled so naturally at the moment, but with two pearl-like teardrops in the corners of her eyes. She said softly to me like she was coaxing a child: “We are buddies, Just like the last time I was drunk, we were just practicing. Whether kissing or that, it is just practice…”

“Liusu!” I couldn’t bear to watch her smile like this. She smiled with an aching heart, and it hurt my heart too. What on earth are you worried about and what are you trying to avoid?!

Tears finally fell, Liusu bit her already trembling thin lips very hard, staring into my angry eyes, she suddenly got up and rushed over, and hugged my neck tightly, “Please, Nannan, don’t say ‘I like you’ now!”

I was stunned. Because she knew what I wanted to say!

My head was hugged by Liusu, and I could only the fine-skinned neck behind her head. There was a faint fragrance in her hair, which made me feel at a loss, “Why… why?”

Why do you know that I like you, but you refuse to listen to me?

“It’s too despicable, if you say it, I will definitely not be able to refuse you. You are too cunning, you know that I can’t refuse you! Nannan, I’m happy, really happy, but if I use this method to win your heart, then I will be a very despicable woman!” Liusu sobbed with a smile, “I have already betrayed the word ‘buddy’ and seduced you, but I still insisted on using the lame excuse, saying that it was a practice. I don’t want a love that is obtained by using this kind of method!”

I was dazed, then I understood.

I understood her, so I was deeply moved; I finally understood, so I felt ashamed of myself.
