That night when I got home, I messaged Jiang Muyu: "Are you asleep? Are you feeling better today?"
As soon as I sent the message, I regretted it, feeling that my concern was excessive, and quickly retracted it.
To my surprise, it seemed like he had been waiting for my message.
He replied instantly: "Not better yet, feeling upset, so wronged.jpg"
"What should I do then?"
Jiang Muyu replied: "I need kisses, hugs, and also..."
I was left speechless.
He didn't finish his sentence, but it made my heart race and my cheeks involuntarily flush.
I struggled internally and shyly sent an emoji of a hug while biting my lip.
He quickly responded with a "kiss."
I rolled around in bed with my blanket. The feelings that were about to break free suddenly sprouted.
Before I could reply, he called me on voice chat.
I instinctively pressed the answer button, my heart pounding loudly in my ears.
"Good evening," he said with a captivating voice that sounded perfect.
So charming.
"It's so late; why aren't you asleep?" I asked knowingly.
"I'm feeling a bit down; I need some coaxing to fall asleep," he said in a slightly spoiled tone.
I didn't expect the usually aloof school heartthrob to act so coy privately.
What is this? After cuddling and holding hands at the cinema, now I have to provide aftercare?
While I thought this in my mind, what came out of my mouth was: "How should I coax you?"
"Then you can hum a song, the one you sang at the school anniversary, 'Little Luck.'"
What a clever guy, using this opportunity to get me to confess.
"Reciprocity; you sing first," I insisted confidently.
"Okay," he immediately agreed.
I didn't have high hopes at first, but when he started singing, his voice was gentle and beautiful, completely immersing me in the moment.
He sang Jay Chou's "Simple Love."
It made my heart flutter.
"I want to hear more," I pouted playfully like he did earlier.
"Sure, pick any song," he said indulgently.
He completely ignored that I hadn't sung yet.
Eventually, I fell asleep gradually to his singing, and just before drifting off, I heard him softly say: "Good night, Yuyu."
My best friend told me that Su Yi invited her to a date at the amusement park this Sunday and asked what she should prepare. I thought for a while and reminded her to just have fun. Saying more would be unnecessary for her. It seems that Su Yi inviting her out is a significant step forward.
My life has started to stir with the arrival of Jiang Muyu. At first, he would occasionally update me on Su Yi's recent activities, but later he often asked me to go to and from school together. His home is quite far from mine, yet he manages to appear at the bus stop near my house every morning on time. When he sees me approaching, he hurriedly bends down to tie his shoelaces.
This has happened several times; it's too obvious. But I always pretend to be nonchalant and greet him. On the bus, he stands behind me, holding onto the handrail, keeping me enclosed in his space to avoid others bumping into me. It feels oddly reassuring. The little sprout in my heart begins to grow wildly.
Another weekend has arrived, and after hearing my friend's report, she can now regularly date Su Yi every weekend. This weekend they are going to watch a movie together. Great, her weekends no longer belong to me. Feeling bored, I wanted to go shopping alone but received an invitation from Jiang Muyu. He sent me two movie tickets for a Romantic Movie, saying they were given by a friend and asked if I wanted to join him.
I felt sweet inside and didn’t plan to expose him. I deliberately chose a white dress and put on beautiful makeup. Before heading out, I wore a hat to cover my face, afraid my mother would see me. She has recently become obsessed with fortune-telling and had consulted a fortune teller about me. She wanted to know if I hoped to get into her desired university, but the fortune teller told her that I would encounter romantic luck soon.
So lately, I've been under strict supervision from my mom; even chatting with Jiang Muyu at night has to wait until they fall asleep so I can sneakily make calls under the covers. I really want to tell that fortune teller that he was spot on but please don’t do it again next time. This feeling of sneaking around is quite thrilling.
When I appeared in front of Jiang Muyu, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He seriously said, "You look great; it really suits your temperament. Thank you for gracing me with your presence for this movie." He even politely bent slightly and gestured for me to enter first.
Hearing his words made me even happier; all the struggles of outsmarting my mom were worth it. However, as I watched the movie's plot unfold, I started to regret it. The occasional steamy scenes between the male and female leads were too much for any young person to handle!
I felt my face flush with embarrassment, and I didn't even dare to turn and look at Jiang Muyu's expression. I could only catch a glimpse of his face out of the corner of my eye.
Well, like me, he sat stiffly upright, not looking sideways.
The short hour and a half movie felt like it lasted a century.
After the film ended and the lights came on, we both remained seated without moving.
After a long pause, when he looked at me, his eyes flickered, and the awkwardness on his face deepened. He hesitated for a long time without speaking.
Suddenly, I felt a mischievous urge to tease him.
"This movie was really good, especially the scenes with the male and female leads; they were great. What do you think?" I said leisurely while looking at him.
Jiang Muyu took a deep breath and replied defiantly, "It was good, but my kissing skills are definitely better. Want to give it a try?"
Now it was my turn to feel embarrassed. I felt a mix of shyness and annoyance, lightly punching him with my fist as I laughed and scolded, "Get lost!"
This guy really knows how to flirt.
He smiled, his eyes curved in a way that I liked.
We stood up in silence, and just as we were about to leave the cinema, he took my hand.
I was taken aback for a moment and stopped to look at him in confusion.
"Song Yu, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
He was still smiling, but there was a barely noticeable tremor in his voice, and his hand holding mine was slightly sweaty.
His sudden confession caught me off guard; his eyes sparkled with anticipation, making my heart race even more.
Noticing that I seemed hesitant, he quickly raised four fingers and vowed, "I promise from now on I'll only like you, treat you well, spoil you, love you, and protect you for life."
I was touched by his childish yet sincere words but didn't want to give him what he wanted so quickly; I just said I'd see how he performed.
He happily picked me up with one arm and spun me around twice.
I didn't expect this seemingly slender guy to have such strength.
"Put me down! I'm heavy!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Hahaha, not heavy at all! My Yuyu looks down on me; I work out regularly," he said affectionately, causing me to blush deeply again as I pretended to be angry and shot him a glare.
He pretended to lift up the hem of his shirt, and I quickly grabbed his hand: "No way! Let's save that for next time!"
