3280 Are You Still Angry with Me?
For some reason, Yan Zhiqing felt confident about him too after hearing him speak so confidently.
At least, this was the case for now.
She didn't know if her imagination would continue to run wild when she was alone later.
"This is the first time in my 30 years of life that I've encountered a woman who's moved my heart," Wei Wucai said. "There is only one you in this world; no one else comes close. From your looks to your personality… It's impossible for there to be anyone else like you. I've fallen for you just the way you are. How could I possibly have a change of heart and fall for someone else in the future?"
Wei Wucai spoke earnestly.
However, there was surprisingly a strange reasoning in his words.
Yan Zhiqing's cheeks reddened slightly because Wei Wucai was too close to her.
But the main reason was her current mood.
Yan Zhiqing's heart was beating particularly quickly.
Badump!
Badump!
It simply could not calm down; it was as if this was her normal heart rate.
Her cheeks burned very hotly, so much so that her mind even blanked out for a moment.
"You're just playing a game of words with me!" Yan Zhiqing said. "How could you possibly only like my type? You will definitely be attracted to other types of girls."
Furthermore, she wasn't the only woman that fit into her type.
"No, you didn't get what I meant," Wei Wucai said earnestly. "What I like isn't your type."
"Hey!"
Yan Zhiqing was about to flip out!
He just said he liked her, you know!
Right after, she heard Wei Wucai say, "What I like is the person, you."
Yan Zhiqing's face stiffened for a moment, then it became extremely flushed.
It was to the extent that it was impossible to be concealed.
"So, I won't like someone else. This possibility will never exist. I wouldn't have stayed single until now if it mattered whether the types of girls I liked expanded in range."
He continued seriously, "At the start, you were indeed not the type I liked. But over time, as I interacted with you more, the harder it became for me to resist getting closer to you and falling for you.
"I don't have much of a type. The person I want to meet is merely the person I like. As such, I've never set a type for myself all this time. Moreover, it would be pointless even if I did set one."
Wei Wucai laughed softly. "Before properly encountering someone, who can truly know what sort of person they'd like? I think that for most people, the person they ultimately meet and then make their spouse isn't their ideal type. For some, it might even be the complete opposite.
"I don't know how to make you believe that I won't change." Wei Wucai let out a sigh. "I can only say that it was so hard for me to finally meet you. I waited 30 years just to meet you. Where am I going to get another 30 years to meet someone else? It was already so difficult just to encounter one person I like.
"When I was single, there was no one I liked. And because I knew they were not what I liked, I didn't even want to try dating."
He saw Yan Zhiqing's eyes droop slightly.
Wei Wucai sighed and said, "If telling you this still can't make you trust me, then let's try another method."
What method?
Yan Zhiqing was a little curious.
Then she heard Wei Wucai say, "Let's take a bunch of steps back and not talk about your lack of trust in me. Think about it. Even if it wasn't me, you'd meet someone else. The possibility makes me very depressed though."
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
"Anyway, could that person guarantee that he would walk with you until the end? Will you never have a romantic relationship your whole life because you're uncertain if they'll stay true to you?
"I don't have your apprehensions because I will definitely bind you firmly to me. Even if you don't like me anymore, I will not let you go. So, I'm not afraid of the uncertainties of the future.
"What I've said might cause you to be afraid, but this is the kind of person I am. I like you, and I won't let you go. Since I'm committing to such an intense relationship, I will not allow you to have a change of heart either.
"Even if you feel I'm very horrible like this, you've already boarded my pirate ship, so I won't let you off."
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
He actually dared to call himself a pirate ship.
Who would call themselves that?
However, Yan Zhiqing didn't feel afraid in the slightest.
Perhaps others would think Wei Wucai's feelings were a bit extreme.
Yet she believed he would not hurt her.
Additionally, wasn't she worried Wei Wucai might have a change of heart because she liked him too much?
So much so that she felt he would have a change of heart before she did?
It was just as Wei Wucai had said.
She had no way to prove this.
However, while she was worrying about the uncertainties of the future, there was one thing she was very clear on.
It was that she already knew she would not have a change of heart.
"Are you afraid of me?" Wei Wucai asked. "Now that I've said all these things."
Afraid?
She wasn't afraid.
Yan Zhiqing shook her head gently and slowly several times.
This was not a large movement. Her degree of motion was especially small, so it would only be noticeable with close attention.
Yet Wei Wucai noticed it.
What did it mean that Yan Zhiqing was behaving like this?
Wei Wucai couldn't help feeling excited.
He lowered his head and gazed fixedly at Yan Zhiqing.
However, Yan Zhiqing also had her head lowered at this moment, so he could not see her face.
He could only see the top of her head.
Wei Wucai lowered his head yet again, leaning closer to Yan Zhiqing. "Zhiqing, are you still angry with me?"
He had truly leaned in too closely.
It was as if his deep and attractively husky timbre had slid straight into her ears.
Even the soft breaths he exhaled as he spoke brushed past her ears as well.
Unbeknownst to Yan Zhiqing, her ears trembled several times.
She just felt that her ears were itchy and tingly from his voice brushing past them.
That tingly sensation spread from her ears to her head.
So when she heard Wei Wucai's question, Yan Zhiqing lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Angry?
Actually, she had already stopped being angry with him.
When she returned last night, she was still very angry.
Today, however… She didn't know when it began, but she just stopped being angry with him at some point.
At this moment, Yan Zhiqing did not give a response to Wei Wucai's question, nor did she shake her head.
However, for her to admit that she had stopped being angry…
Yan Zhiqing felt, wouldn't she be letting Wei Wucai get through this crisis too easily?
Moreover, the most important point was that she was actually quite embarrassed about it.
Yesterday, she was clearly still very angry with him. She had an aggressive and unforgiving attitude for a really long time.
In the end, today, it was like she was hitting herself in the face; she wasn't angry anymore.
Yan Zhiqing felt that it was truly rather embarrassing.
"Hm?" Wei Wucai raised his pitch slightly, urging her to answer him.
A few minutes passed by, but Yan Zhiqing still didn't give him a response.
Nevertheless, the way she didn't say a word and agreed tacitly actually said a lot.
Wei Wucai quietly watched her for several minutes.
Then, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
