Is she trying to comfort me?
Fleeting Time glanced at Ye Ci's hand that was patting him on the shoulder. It was stiff. If I'm not mistaken, this means that Gongzi You does not know how to express his embarrassment. Truth be told, Fleeting Time had imagined Gongzi You's reaction to his words, but he did not expect it to be like this.
Patting my shoulder? Hmm?
Does she really think that we're in the middle of a melodramatic scene? But on the other hand, he found it hilarious that Gongzi You was comforting him in such an awkward manner. It did not seem like something Gongzi You would do.
Is he trying to comfort me? Or is he trying to comfort me like this?
For some reason, Fleeting Time had the urge to laugh out loud, but he suppressed it with all his might. He knew that if he were to laugh out loud, he would never be able to be with Gongzi You again. And so, he lowered his head and stared blankly at Gongzi You's hand that was patting him on the shoulder.
Fleeting Time was not the only one who found the situation amusing. Even Ye Ci felt that something was wrong with her. Heavens. What am I doing? Comforting a friend? I don't think we're that close. Comforting a stranger? A stranger does not seem to need the comfort of another stranger. Or is it comforting someone who has just pursued me and was rejected by me? This … This is something that I've never experienced before.
But in her subconscious, she felt that such words of consolation were a little unnecessary and unrealistic. In fact, it was a little superfluous, and it did not make sense at all.
At that moment, Ye Ci felt that she was in the most awkward situation of her life. Or rather, she had done the stupidest thing in her life.
Fleeting Time's gaze was fixed on her hand that was patting him on the shoulder, and she felt as if his gaze was going to burn a hole in her arm. She quickly retracted her arm and chuckled awkwardly at Fleeting Time. She was at a loss for words.
The atmosphere was really awkward. It was as if the space was filled with natural gas. The slightest spark would cause the entire space to explode.
"Can I take your words as comforting me?" Fleeting Time slowly raised his head and stared at Ye Ci's frozen face, his voice calm. It was as if he was merely stating a fact. There was no other meaning behind his words. But strangely enough, the words that came out of Ye Ci's mouth carried a different meaning. Alarm bells rang in her heart. What is this man trying to say?
What should I say next? It's better if I don't say anything. The more I say, the more mistakes I'll make. Ye Ci thought for a moment, and decided to be more conservative. She did not want to say anything that would make things even more awkward. She would be embarrassed for the rest of her life.
"Alright, I'll accept your comforting words." Fleeting Time smiled when he saw Ye Ci's cautious gaze. She really doesn't know what she's talking about. He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
Ye Ci let out a long sigh of relief and nodded at Fleeting Time. "That's right." Ye Ci nodded at Fleeting Time. What he meant was that since that was the case, the matter would be considered resolved and they would not bring it up again.
Fleeting Time did not have much interaction with Gongzi You, but he was able to understand her thoughts. Fleeting Time was able to read Ye Ci's mind just by looking at her expression. Fleeting Time found it amusing. Fleeting Time found it hilarious. He had discovered a new trait of Gongzi You. Whenever she was faced with something that she could not control no matter how hard she tried, she would just ignore it and act as if it never happened.
While this habit of hers was a difficult one for him, he had to admit that Gongzi You's expression when she was deceiving herself with a serious look on her face was quite amusing.
He did not want to let Gongzi You go just like that. Besides, it was not his habit to let Gongzi You go just like that. Fleeting Time nodded, "You said that the process is all that matters when it comes to courting, and the results are not important. My memory isn't that bad, so I didn't remember wrongly, right? Little Gongzi. "
Ye Ci felt goosebumps all over her body. What is he doing? Why is he bringing this up again? Didn't he say that he had accepted my consolation? Then why is he bringing this up again?
She did not want to respond to him, but it would be impolite if she did not respond to his question, especially since he had already pointed it out to her. Although Ye Ci's personality was not very likable, she still knew the basic etiquette and etiquette. She nodded with a frown, "That's what I said."
Fleeting Time clapped his hands and smiled, "And didn't you say that you rejected me?" He then added when he saw Ye Ci's conflicted expression, "Of course, you didn't say it directly. But that's what you meant, right?"
Ye Ci felt her cheeks burning. I didn't do anything, right? I didn't say anything, right? But why do I feel like burying myself in a hole when Fleeting Time repeated those words?
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cleared her throat, and made her voice sound very stiff. "That's what I meant."
"That is to say, this unimportant result is your rejection of my pursuit? Am I right, Little Gongzi? " A sly glint flashed across Fleeting Time's eyes, and the smile on his face was like that of a hunter watching his prey walk right into his trap.
Why does it sound like there's a hidden meaning in his words? Ye Ci paused for a moment, and pondered on Fleeting Time's words.
Fleeting Time did not give Ye Ci any time to think, "Is that right? Little Gongzi? My understanding is correct, right? Or is it that my understanding is wrong? Are you saying that you didn't reject my courtship? " Fleeting Time's voice was not loud, but he was able to get closer and closer to the cautious Ye Ci. While Ye Ci was still trying to figure out what he was trying to say, Fleeting Time continued to move closer and closer until he was just inches away from her.
Fleeting Time spoke quickly, and his words were more or less the same. As he inched closer and closer to Ye Ci, Ye Ci began to panic. She was unable to calm herself down and figure out what Fleeting Time was trying to say. Ye Ci's mind was in a mess as Fleeting Time's face was just inches away from hers. Images of the wisteria garden flashed before her eyes, and her face burned even hotter.
How can a man stumble on the same stone twice? Ye Ci wanted to take a step back, but she did not realize that her back was already against the bars of the cell. She was stuck to the bars, and there was no way for her to escape. And Fleeting Time did not seem to have any intention of letting her go.
Ye Ci's scalp went numb. She was so flustered that she did not know what to do. She subconsciously raised her hands to stop Fleeting Time, "Yes, that's right. And that's the result of my rejection."
Fleeting Time was currently clad in a chainmail, which was made of intricate metal. The chainmail was like a second layer of skin on his body. When Ye Ci extended her arms to stop him from approaching her, her pale hands landed on Fleeting Time's chest without hesitation. For some reason, he could feel the warmth of Gongzi You's body passing through her hands and onto his chest even though they were separated by a layer of armor.
At this moment, his entire body seemed to have been ignited by something with a "boom". He stared at Gongzi You's stiff and flushed face, and a voice in his heart screamed, "Now's the time, now's the time …"
But his last shred of rationality was tugging at his body, "No, you can't do this now. Are you going to let all your efforts go to waste?"
Of course not. Fleeting Time was not going to let all his efforts go to waste. But how could he hold himself back in this situation? He was not a god. He was just an ordinary man.
Ye Ci noticed that Fleeting Time's breathing had become heavier. His eyes, which were as bright as the stars, were now completely dark. There was not a single trace of light in them, but something seemed to be burning in them. He stared at her closely, his expression showing some forbearance. His hot breath blew on her skin, making her already hot skin even hotter. Ye Ci gulped when she realized that her hands were still "touching" his chest. She immediately retracted her hands and screamed at the top of her lungs.
Fleeting Time lost control of his body and fell towards Ye Ci. Ye Ci was about to be crushed between him and the bars of the cell. But in that moment of crisis, Fleeting Time grabbed onto the railing behind Ye Ci. Even though he was closer to Gongzi You than before, he was not able to touch her.
Ye Ci leaned against the bars of the cell. Her breathing was so fast that it was as if she had just run 1500 meters. She stared at the man's face that was so close to hers, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably as she could smell the man's strong scent.
She was nervous.
That's right. She was nervous to death.
What will Fleeting Time do to me? What will happen next? Will the incident in the wisteria garden happen again? Ye Ci's mind was filled with these questions, and she did not have the chance to think about anything else.
Making a choice was a very painful thing, just like how Fleeting Time was feeling right now. He could taste the sweetness of her body just by lowering his head, but he could not decide if he should eat her or not. His rationality told him that there were more important things to do, but the pain in his body was screaming at him to eat her first.
He took in a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clenched his fists. He then turned around and took a step back so that he would not be so close to Ye Ci.
He really wasn't a god. He didn't know how long it would take if he stopped today and waited for the next opportunity like this. He didn't even know if he could appease the clamor of his body, but … for the sake of a long-term plan, he finally made a choice that made him very painful.
Ye Ci was able to breathe in fresh air after Fleeting Time's departure. The fresh air was able to lower her body temperature, and calm her heart. However, her mind was still in a mess, as if it was glue.
"Alright, since this is the final result, shall we talk about the process?" Fleeting Time turned around and smiled at Ye Ci. His smile was like the brightest peach blossom in the spring breeze.
Ye Ci's mind was still in a daze. She was not prepared for Fleeting Time's words, and could only repeat his words, "Process?"
"That's right. Process." Fleeting Time smiled in satisfaction. He was satisfied with the effect he had on Gongzi You. So it turns out that Gongzi You was not completely oblivious to his presence. It was just that she did not know about it.
"What process?"
"The process of courting you." Fleeting Time smiled. This time, he tried his best to stop himself from getting too close to Gongzi You. He did not want to rush into things just because she was in a daze. Some things could only be dealt with slowly, and some people could only be dealt with with with wisdom.
"The process of courting me?" Ye Ci blinked. Her mind was still in a daze. She stared at Fleeting Time in a daze, and her mind finally came back to her. Her eyes widened, and she raised her voice, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by the process of courting me? " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
