Natsu Ikehara tugged at the hem of her skirt and twitched the corners of her mouth a little uncomfortably.

Originally, she was dressed as a girl, just to entertain herself, and no one knew who she was anyway.

But suddenly she was recognized by Jing Bainian, which made her a little embarrassed.

After all, she wasn't ready to let people know that she was pretending to be a woman......

Seeing her somewhat cramped and uneasy appearance, Jing Bainian smiled slightly, reached out and gently brushed her long hair: "This is really good-looking, you are dressed like this now, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." ”

"You don't have to say polite words to me, how can it be so exaggerated?"

There are not many beauties that Ikehara Xia has seen, and she feels that her dress as a girl is not too amazing, but it is quite pleasing to the eye.

In addition, her clothes and hairstyles tonight are relatively simple, which is much inferior to those beautiful women at the ball.

She felt that Jing Bainian must be comforting her when she said this.

However, Jing Bainian looked at her seriously and said again: "I'm serious, you are really beautiful." ”

Probably because his tone was too serious, Ikehara Natsu's heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't know how to face him.

Jing Bonian continued: "When I called you that day, I said that if I succeeded in recognizing you at the masquerade, you would have to listen to what I had to say, and you could not interrupt or run away. ”

"What do you want to say? Do we still have to be so strangers to each other? You can say whatever you want, anytime. ”

Jing Bainian stared down at her, and said word by word: "Chihara Xia, I like you." ”

Hearing these simple seven words, Ikehara Xia thought for a moment that something was wrong with his ears.

Otherwise, how could Jing Bainian confess to her?

Though...... She also vaguely felt that Jing Bainian's feelings for her were a little ambiguous, but it shouldn't be to the point where she could confess openly, right?

And Jing Bainian is not the kind of person who is easy to be impulsive......

She put away her shocked thoughts, reluctantly showed a smile, and pretended to be natural: "Haha, Jing Bainian, this joke is not funny at all, don't make this kind of joke again, it's not April Fool's Day." ”

"I'm not kidding, I've liked you for a long time."

Jing Bainian looked directly into her eyes without shying away, "From the moment I was sure that I liked you, I was thinking about how to confess to you all the time. “

"You ......"

Jing Bainian interrupted her lightly and continued: "Maybe today is not a good time, but I don't want to wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll lose you." ”

Ikehara Natsu looked at him stunned, and for a moment, forgot how to speak.

"Xiao Xia, I really like you, don't refuse, give me a chance, let's be together, okay?"

After a long time, Chihara Xia found her voice back, and she said with difficulty: "Jing Bainian, you should know that I have always regarded you as a good brother, I don't want to spoil this relationship, just let us be good friends for life, isn't that good?" Lovers are not as reliable as friends. ”

Jing Bainian smiled and said as if sighing: "Actually, a long time ago, I also thought like this, if I stay by your side as a good friend for the rest of my life, it would be good, at least I won't lose you as a friend, and I can always stand by your side openly." ”

Natsu Ikehara looked up at him, a little unsure of how to answer.

Jing Bonian continued: "But later, I became more and more dissatisfied with just being friends with you, I was a little greedy and wanted more, I wanted you to be my lover, and even become a wife in the future, and be with you for a lifetime......"
