Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2984 Let's be together

Charlene picked at her fingers, becoming a little nervous.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "So... what do you think?"

Shino looked at him frankly and said truthfully, "At first, I didn't really think about it, after all, I don't like you."

what……

Upon hearing this, Xia Lin's heart sank suddenly, as if something had yanked it hard.

The expectant look in their eyes instantly dimmed.

She instinctively wanted to lower her eyes, afraid that the disappointment on her face would be too obvious and he would see it.

However, before she could hide it, Shi Ye's voice rang out again, "At that time, I only regarded you as a younger sister and Shi Yang's best friend."

When I went on the show, all I was thinking about was taking good care of you.

As for matters of the heart, I haven't thought about them too much.

He paused, his tone softening, and continued, "Later, I didn't think much about it because I wasn't sure what kind of feeling it was."

Charlene raised her eyes again, and the hope in her heart seemed to be quietly rekindled, causing her heart to beat faster involuntarily.

Shi Ye slowly walked to the stone bench next to him, sat down gently, and kept his gaze on her.

"As you probably know, my upbringing was rather unique. I grew up surrounded by relatives and rarely had the opportunity to meet girls."

Later, when I arrived in this place, I went straight into the industry and devoted myself to the world of racing.

It's fair to say that my life is almost entirely consumed by racing; my mind is filled with nothing but technique, speed, and competition.

Even when it comes to interacting with people, I don't have much experience with emotions, and I've always felt that I'm particularly slow in this regard.

However, before that, I always adhered to one principle.

If you are not truly sure of your feelings, never give a response casually, so as to avoid misunderstandings or harm.

So, after I realized what you were thinking, I chose to remain silent.

As for why this is done, the reason is actually quite simple.

I worry that in the future, I might still not be able to feel the same way about you, and that this might hurt you, which is the last thing I want to see.

That's why I decided to wait and see.

At least, I can only give you a responsible answer once I have a clearer understanding of my own feelings and the situation is more transparent.

Upon hearing this, Charlene felt a sudden sense of relief.

It turned out to be the case.

She thought about it carefully and gradually came to understand his concerns and thoughts.

When feelings haven't yet blossomed and you don't truly like the other person.

It would indeed be irresponsible to rashly accept a girl's feelings.

This will not only hurt the other person's feelings, but also cause them pain.

Moreover, they have many mutual friends, so they will inevitably run into each other frequently in the future.

If not handled properly, the awkwardness and discomfort may continue to spread, affecting everyone's relationship.

But... since he hadn't made his stance clear back then, he now had no choice but to confront the issue head-on.

"What now?"

Charlene walked towards him and couldn't help but ask again.

A faint smile appeared on Shi Ye's lips. "Now, of course I've figured it out."

Upon hearing this, Charlene's heart skipped a beat.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady, and asked, "So... what was the result?"

As soon as she spoke, her eyelashes trembled twice, and out of nervousness, she instinctively lowered her eyes again.

But soon, she forced herself to look up.

After all this time, she wanted a definite answer.

Whether he agrees or refuses, she should face it calmly.

Avoiding the problem won't solve it; it will only make the suspense in your heart grow deeper and deeper.

So... this time, she can't hide anymore.

After figuring it out, her gaze became firm, meeting his eyes directly.

The dim light from the streetlamp fell on his face, gently hiding half of his profile in shadow, making it difficult to see his expression.

However, it was in that space between light and darkness.

His eyes, however, seemed to hold a certain brilliance, bright and deep.

Charlene heard his pleasant voice slowly utter those words, "The result is, let's be together. I'm certain now that I feel the same way you do, I like you."

These three simple words fell gently, like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, stirring up ripples.

The boy reached out and gently took her hand, which was hanging by her side.

His fingertips, slightly warm, gripped her slightly cool fingers tightly.

The warmth seemed to seep into her skin little by little, gradually warming her palms.

dong dong dong-

My heart is pounding in my chest, each beat heavy and powerful.

Charlene even felt that it was like a drumbeat, so loud that it almost pierced her chest.

If it weren't for the constant sound of flowing water beside her, which masked her rapid heartbeat, she would have embarrassed herself again due to excessive nervousness.

However, even if he does hear it, it doesn't matter.

Because at this moment, she finally got the answer she had always longed for, and her heart was filled with sweetness and satisfaction.

Charlene's eyes suddenly lit up, the bright light like a lit candle flame, dancing and flickering in her clear eyes.

Joy, like a flower quietly blooming in spring, silently touched her brows and eyes.

It made her whole face glow with a captivating radiance.

This sudden joy made her lips involuntarily curve into a sweet and shy smile, as if she had been completely struck by this unexpected happiness.

She was overwhelmed by this immense joy, feeling dizzy, as if she were walking on clouds or floating in a gentle mist.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

It took her a while to finally come back to her senses and find her voice again.

She said with a hint of uncertainty, "Could you... say it again? I... feel like I'm dreaming, it's a little unreal!"

As she spoke, she unconsciously bent over, her body leaning slightly forward.

Those bright eyes were fixed on the other person, filled with urgent expectation and silent pleading, as if afraid that all of this would suddenly disappear.

Shi Ye raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at her.

I felt she was like a child begging for candy, innocent and pure, with a sincerity that was impossible to refuse.

If that's the case, then why be stingy with giving?

Thinking of this, he didn't respond, but instead reached out and gently cupped her face.

Then, a light, feather-like kiss landed on her smooth forehead.
