Ji Ling stared at Ning Yu blankly.
The young man's handsome face appeared somewhat gloomy and unclear in the dim light. Only his black eyes had a faint gentleness brewing within them.
Ji Ling's face flushed. 'Mo, why did you tell me your secret? We're not that close. Why did you tell me your secret?'
Ji Ling's heart was pounding. He turned his head and continued to watch the movie, pretending that he had not heard anything.
Ning Yu noticed that he turned his head away after being stunned for a while. Then, he continued to watch the movie as if nothing had happened.
'But … Do you really not know anything about our existence? Did you not realize what I said? Or did you realize it but you're not willing to admit it? '
'No matter what …'
Ning Yu closed his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes. Then, he let out a helpless chuckle. 'You haven't changed at all …'
'You're still not ready.'
Ji Ling's eyes were fixed on the movie screen. She seemed to be very focused, but her attention was actually on the young man beside her. She was nervous, curious, and complicated, but she tried her best not to turn around and look at him.
He was very conflicted but he did not know what he was conflicted about.
Did he really want to know? Or did he not want to know? Or was he afraid of knowing?
Ji Ling did not understand.
He did not even know what he was conflicted about. He did not understand why he could not reject him like how he had rejected Mr. Fu.
It was late when the movie ended. Ji Ling did not reject Ning Yu's offer to send him home. Soon, the car stopped at his house.
The cool breeze seemed to have calmed down some of the ambiguous atmosphere, adding a trace of indifference.
Ji Ling suddenly recalled the first time they met in Ning Kehan's villa. At that time, he was shocked when he heard Ning Yue's name as Ning Yu. That night, Ning Yue had driven him home personally.
'What were you thinking at that time?'
Ji Ling turned around and looked at her. He looked away uncomfortably and said in a low voice, "Thank you for today."
Ning Yu looked at the young man's delicate face and bashful expression. She smiled gently. "I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for giving me a chance."
Ji Ling blushed again. He didn't know what to say, so he turned around and left.
When he got home, his parents were already asleep. He quietly went back to his room and was about to wash up when his phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Ning Yue. [I'm very happy tonight, and … good night.]
Ji Ling couldn't help but walk to the window and look out through the gap in the curtains. He saw that Ning Yue's car was still parked outside.
A strong premonition that was hard to ignore rose from the bottom of his heart.
You want to tell me a secret? What was it?
Why do you like me?
Ji Ling's fingers rested on the phone. He almost wanted to ask this question, but he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he only replied with two words: Good night.
Ning Yu sat in the car. She raised her head slightly and could see the young man's home.
There was a thin figure in the window. The light cast a shadow on the window and it disappeared soon after. He received a reply from the other party.
Ning Yu looked at the two simple words and revealed a smile.
What a soft-hearted and kind child. Actually, I want to tell you that I'm really happy. You can show your true self and do what you want to do without any restraints. You don't have to pretend to be someone else and do things that go against your heart anymore.
Now I understand that you were helpless. I was more like an idiot who didn't know when to stop …
Fortunately, you came back.
And you didn't lie to me in the end.
This is the happiest thing I've learned in the countless years I've traveled to every corner of the world.
