However, Lu Yinxing still went downstairs.
Xia Ye had just made a bowl of sweet dumplings.
Yet, the air was already filled with a sweet aroma.
Lu Yinxing sat down on a chair in the dining room.
Lu Yinxing lowered her head and took a bite of the dumpling.
It had a rose filling; the sweet and sticky texture spread through her mouth, a sweetness she felt she’d never tasted in her life.
Lu Yinxing kept her head down.
Once she sobered up, she suddenly didn’t dare to look into Xia Ye’s eyes.
Today, Xia Ye was uncharacteristically talkative.
He spoke intermittently about mundane topics.
Yet he didn’t ntion the earlier incident at all.
This seed to create an illusion for Lu Yinxing.
It felt like what happened earlier was a dream or perhaps sothing she imagined.
Or maybe, was the earlier occurrence simply Xia Ye’s montary impulse?
Now he might have cald down, thought it through, and wanted to act as if nothing happened?
Last ti, Lu Yinxing also pretended nothing had happened.
But on the surface, everything seed calm and uneventful.
Only Lu Yinxing knew deep down what kind of tornt it was inside.
This ti, she wouldn’t repeat the sa mistake.
Things needed to be clarified.
Lu Yinxing suddenly raised her head: "Xia Ye, you just said you like , didn’t you?"
Actually, Lu Yinxing often called him by na, so directly calling his na didn’t feel awkward.
Xia Ye nodded frankly.
His gaze showed no sign of evasion.
Lu Yinxing seed to let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Yinxing coughed twice: "When confessing to , shouldn’t you ask if I like you or accept your confession?"
An unexpected look of pride appeared on Lu Yinxing’s face.
At that mont, there was a feeling of turning the tables.
Since childhood, Lu Yinxing had always been overshadowed by Xia Ye in every aspect.
Even before, when Lu Yinxing realized she had inappropriate feelings for Xia Ye, she felt she was being rebellious and struggled painfully for a long ti.
Finally, she had so leverage in her hands.
At last, she could stand in front of him with her head high like a queen.
Who knew Xia Ye would calmly reply: "I know you like too."
Lu Yinxing almost choked on the dumpling.
Lu Yinxing said displeased: "Where do you get your confidence?"
Xia Ye looked up at Lu Yinxing’s eyes: "Isn’t it true?"
Looking at Xia Ye’s determined yet calm face, Lu Yinxing almost reflexively surrendered: "Yes... perhaps it is..."
Alright.
In the first round, Lu Yinxing was defeated just like that.
Many tis afterward, Lu Yinxing thought about it carefully.
That was probably her only chance to take the lead back then.
But she didn’t cherish it well.
The two ended up silently eating a bowl of dumplings together.
It was already four in the morning.
Having tossed and turned, Lu Yinxing was actually very tired.
Lu Yinxing stood up and said to Xia Ye: "I’m going to sleep now; you’re sleeping on the sofa today."
Xia Ye asked: "Why?"
"Do you want to sleep in the sa bed as ?"
"Didn’t we sleep together before?"
"That was before... before you didn’t have any ulterior motives; it was proper then, but now... anyway, now it’s not okay."
Xia Ye looked at Lu Yinxing with a very disdainful gaze: "Lu Yinxing, you’re overthinking, I’m not interested in you in that way for now."
Lu Yinxing’s face flushed red.
