"Shuqin, you..." Ou Cong finally opened his mouth, hesitating.
But halfway through, looking at Jiang Shuqin’s expression that was so different from her usual seriousness, for so reason a strange feeling welled up in his chest.
His heart actually started thumping uncontrollably.
This... could Shuqin be about to tell him sothing, sothing... important?
"Ahem." Ou Cheng gave a fake cough, then said, "Shuqin, you ca to because there’s sothing important, right? If it’s nothing important, then we..."
"Ou Cong!" Ou Cong’s words were cut off halfway by Jiang Shuqin.
Then Jiang Shuqin fixed her gaze steadily on Ou Cong.
Ou Cong froze, and the room instantly fell silent.
After a mont, Jiang Shuqin finally spoke. "Ou Cong, why do you think a woman would follow a man around without complaint or regret, hustling outside with him for years?"
"This..." Hearing that, Ou Cong really didn’t know how to answer.
Or rather, he didn’t know what kind of answer Jiang Shuqin wanted.
Seeing that Ou Cong didn’t respond, Jiang Shuqin looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Ou Cong, let’s just put all the cards on the table."
"Do you, or do you not, like ?" Jiang Shuqin asked the question in a firm, decisive tone.
"L-like?" Hearing Jiang Shuqin’s question, Ou Cong was so startled he almost jumped. "You’re asking whether I like you or not?"
"Yes, I’m asking if you like ." Jiang Shuqin nodded and said very calmly.
"This..." Ou Cong hesitated, dodged Jiang Shuqin’s burning gaze, and said sowhat awkwardly, "Aren’t we... good friends, good bros? Between good bros, of course we like each other..."
At that, Jiang Shuqin interrupted him again. "Ou Cong, you know that’s not what I an."
"I’m asking about the kind of liking between a man and a woman." This ti, Jiang Shuqin was determined to lay everything bare. "Because I like you—that kind of liking between a man and a woman."
Hearing Shuqin say it so definitively, Ou Cong was completely stunned.
Jiang Shuqin likes him? And it’s that kind of liking between a man and a woman?
Ou Cong felt his brain start to get all muddled.
How was that possible?
Weren’t they good bros?
"Shuqin... did you get it wrong?" Ou Cong said. "How could you... possibly like ?"
What ca to Ou Cong’s mind at this mont were all the scenes of them bickering and roasting each other in the past.
Is that how a girl acts when she likes a guy?
Could it be, could it really be that Jiang Shuqin got it wrong?
To be fair, after spending so much ti with Ou Cong, Jiang Shuqin knew exactly what each of his expressions ant.
Seeing the look of sheer disbelief on Ou Cong’s face, Jiang Shuqin curled her lips and said, "Got it wrong? I actually wish I did get it wrong."
"Honestly, even I don’t know why I ended up liking an idiot like you!" Jiang Shuqin put her hands on her hips. "You’re not smart, your EQ is low, and you’re impulsive as hell. It’s only in the last few years, doing business in G City, that you’ve learned to calm down a little."
"But the second you co back to Capital City, you revert to your original form and turn back into that stupid, useless Ou Er again!" Jiang Shuqin’s words were practically dripping with resentnt.
Ou Cong: ...
Seriously, with words like that and that tone, how was he supposed to believe she liked him?
Could this... be Jiang Shuqin ssing with him?
