Thinking of this, Ling Li smiled a little nostalgically.

If it weren't for Zhong Zhuowen's matter, if it weren't for Qian Yang's elusive figure, I don't know what their situation would be now?

It continued to be ambiguous and ambiguous, and there was still that layer of glass between them, which could be seen, but could not be touched at all.

Or has it broken through the shackles and brought the relationship closer?

Anyway, it won't be the sudden parting of the situation that is gradually getting used to his tenderness and care.

Her head was hot for a while, and the unwillingness she pressed in her heart suddenly spread to infinity, making her unable to escape.

Ling Li mustered up the courage to turn around, looked him straight in the eyes, and spoke for a while before he spoke: "Can you not go back?"

The question that had been hovering in my heart finally couldn't help but ask.

Nan Zhiyi was a little stunned: "Why don't you go back?" ”

"Imperial Capital." Ling Li was a little annoyed, at this time, he was still pretending to be stupid.

Nan Zhiyi understood, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, someone is waiting for me." ”

"Oh." After receiving his answer, Ling Li's expression did not change, but his heart was like falling into an ice cave.

She already knew that she shouldn't ask, and the answer was also expected by her, but still, she couldn't suppress the monstrous emotions in her heart.

When he said he wouldn't go back, he didn't even hesitate at all, and said that someone was waiting for him.

Who else could there be, the one who offered him a future and a project? But doesn't she need him? He really couldn't bear and rest assured that he would leave her alone in the capital?

"So, have you ever liked me?"

By the time she realized that her sanity had been overwhelmed, the sentence had already blurted out.

Seeing Nan Zhiyi's eyes widened, it seemed that he had heard something incredible.

"Sorry, I asked another strange question." She was suddenly frightened of the answer, and quickly began to laugh at herself, "I guess I can't drink enough, and I go crazy when I drink." ”

And the person in front of him had already put away the surprise on his face, pursed his lips tightly, his expression could not show joy and anger, but his eyes were getting deeper and deeper.

"Do you really want to know the answer?" The usual hanger on his face is long gone, and his eyes are serious and serious, as if he is dealing with important issues in life.

Ling Li was infected by him, and gradually straightened up, biting her lip, and nodding her head gently.

Finally, this moment has come. Dodging and evading are useless, now that you have already asked, you should be brave enough to accept his attitude.

It's just that she can almost guess the result - isn't it just the usual coldness and evasion?

Sure enough, Nan Zhiyi said softly: "No, I haven't liked you." ”

Ling Li lowered her head silently.

She held back a trace of bitterness in her heart, and when she looked up again, she had already covered up the disappointed and unwilling expression just now.

"Teacher Nan, thank you so much." She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I've caused you a lot of trouble these days, and I'm bothering you by asking this kind of strange question." ”

She paused, trying not to come out again with a cowardly nasal voice, until her voice was a little hoarse.

After a few seconds, she continued: "You have set a time to leave, tell me and I will help you buy your ticket." In addition, I placed an order yesterday and bought the latest monitor, which I asked Lu Peng to install when it arrived, so that I could monitor the situation in your house. ”

Nan Zhiyi still didn't speak, looking at her with dark eyes, his hands in his pockets, and his expression was calm.

Finally saying all she wanted to say, Ling Li smiled and quickly turned around, tears streaming down her face in the backlight.

She suppressed her somewhat disordered breathing, looked at the shadow stretched by the street lamp under her feet, and clenched her palms.

Well, she had tried her best to do her best, although she still couldn't help but ask some strange questions, but in such an emotion, she couldn't ask herself more.

"Teacher Nan, goodbye." With his back to him and a low goodbye, Ling Li held back the tears that were about to erupt and quickened her pace.

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhiyi shouted behind him: "Ling Li, can you listen to me?" ”

He called her by her name in a rare way, a very formal title, but there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Ling Li had no choice but to stop, but she didn't dare to look back, only listening to his footsteps behind her, and stopped not far from her.

After that, I heard him ask softly: "The question you just asked is, have I ever liked you, then, can I understand that the premise of your question is that you actually like me?" ”

Ling Li opened her mouth slightly, not knowing whether to respond to him or not.

She really couldn't imagine that such an embarrassing and faceless question, Nan Zhiyi could ask it without a trace of waves in her voice.

It's really—heartlessly.

She took a deep breath and listened to the sound of the wind whirring in her ears, and the sound of willow notes from the lake whapping on the trunk, and her heart ached.

In the next second, tears flowed into his mouth, and the tip of his tongue was filled with an astringent salty taste.

Since he wanted to distance himself from her again and again, why did he emphasize this issue over and over again and humiliate her again and again?

Ling Li laughed self-deprecatingly.

In fact, it should have been expected a long time ago, in the world of Nanzhiyi, isn't it just to say whatever you want? Where did she get the confidence to think that he wouldn't hurt herself easily?

Feeling that she had thought it very clearly, her voice was still irrepressibly nasal: "Teacher Nan, I'm sorry for harassing you, but can you stop asking me such a question?" I'm not too eager to answer. ”

There seemed to be a soft sigh behind him, and there was a gradual sound of footsteps.

As he approached, he said, his voice soft, "I think you've been misunderstanding me tonight. Just as I said that I want to go back to the imperial capital, you asked me if I could not go, I must go, but I, did I say that I will not come back? ”

Ling Li was stunned, and she didn't understand what he was talking about.

The sigh behind him was a little heavier, and the voice was closer: "In addition, about the question you just asked, you have a good recall, you asked if you 'liked' you, and I also answered you according to the actual situation, but you didn't seem to understand." ”

By the time he finished the last word, he was less than ten centimeters away from her, and his snort was almost on top of her head.

The footsteps behind him stopped, and his leisurely voice sounded in his ears: "If you haven't liked it, it means that you are liking it." ”

Ling Li was trying to suppress her emotions and not to get out of control, and when she heard this, she was suddenly stunned.

Haven't liked it because you're liking? What does this mean? Is this how Chinese is used? Why is it so weird?

Before she could figure out the logic, Nan Zhiyi's voice with a faint smile sounded behind her again: "So, what are you sad about?" ”

In the next second, she only felt a tightness on her body, and she had fallen into a warm embrace.

Nanzhiyi tightened her arms and lowered her head slightly, her lips pressed against her hair.

Her long hair lingered around her nose, a little itchy, and the familiar faint smell of roses.

This is the breath of her that he has fallen in love with, and it is also the sweetness that he is reluctant to let go once he gets close.

Before that, he had imagined many times what it would be like to hold her into his arms, but he didn't expect it to be so real and sweet.

He closed his eyes and said in a shallow voice: "I've wanted to hold you like this for a long time, last time because of that bowl of soup, this time, just because I like you." ”

Ling Li lowered her eyes blankly and looked at the pair of arms around her.

Taking off his coat, he was bare-armed, and his right arm still had a light red mark on the wound that had not completely subsided.

It's him, there's nothing wrong with that, she's not dreaming.

So what just happened? What doesn't go back, what I like or not, it's a mess.

Also, why did he hug him all of a sudden?

It wasn't until Nan Zhiyi let go of her, grabbed her shoulders and turned her around, and it became a situation where the two of them were facing each other, Ling Li was still stunned.

The deer-like wet eyes, the mouth is slightly open, and the delicate and smooth skin has traces of tears just now.

A certain corner of her heart quickly softened, Nan Zhiyi sighed, picked up her face, and used her fingertips to brush away the tears on it.

While wiping, he said, "Silly, I don't know if you understood just now." ”

There was a gentleness and brilliance in his eyes that he had never seen before, and Ling Li subconsciously wanted to nod his head to indicate that he probably understood, and a cold and soft touch came from his lips.

It was only a slight touch and separated, so fast that Ling Li didn't have time to react.

After a few seconds, Ling Li, who was half a beat slowly, felt all the blood rushing to her head, and her heart, which was about to stop beating just now, was beating uncontrollably at this time.

Nanzhiyi had already left her lips and reached out to take her hand, raising it to the height of her chin.

After that, he bent down slightly, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Hold your hand, I won't let go." ”

She looked up in a panic, not even understanding what was happening.

Nan Zhiyi's face was backed by light, and she couldn't see his expression clearly, just the bright and soft light in a pair of eyes, so eye-catching that she couldn't ignore it.

Ling Li felt a heart in her chest throbbing wildly, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "Are you ......?"

He only said a word, and it was dark again, the warm orange of the streetlamp was blocked, and his face was rapidly approaching her.

Nan Zhiyi lowered his head and quickly leaned up, imprinting her lips again, and her fingertips climbed her chin, making her unable to escape.

Long, passionate, and a little clumsy, she kissed until she was almost out of breath, and her hands involuntarily wrapped around his neck.

I don't know how long it took, but he was finally willing to let go.

Ling Li gasped, and once again made sure that this person was definitely not born weak.

At least, the force she had just felt on her shoulders, the panicked struggles she had not broken free of his arms.

Her face was hot, her ears were also hot, and Ling Li didn't need to look at it to know that she was only afraid that she would be red and ripe.

The dim light of the street lamp blurred his outline, and there was a bit of a misty atmosphere in the air, and the chill that had made her shiver just now was long gone, replaced by a fire between her heart and lips.

When he looked up, there was only his gaze left as far as he could see.

The dodging and forbearance of the past are no longer there, and what meets her sight is a pair of clear and dark eyes. Like obsidian, it shone with a slight glow that made her reluctant to take her eyes off.

"I have to kiss it first, if this thing is going to be robbed by you again, I just don't want to mess around." There was a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ling Li's mind was still a mess, and her ears were buzzing all the time, and she couldn't say a word.

All she knew was that she had made up her mind to leave, but when she was about to escape from his sight at the end, he pulled her back.

Still kissed? Kissed twice?

At this time, shouldn't you slap him coldly and arrogantly?

But she couldn't make any movements, just asked blankly, "What?" ”
