Because I like you

Zhou Yining swallowed a few times, her gaze going back and forth over Jiang Xizhi’s lips.

After a long while, she forced herself to look away.

Zhou Yining took a deep breath and leaned down to gently leave a kiss on Jiang Xizhi’s forehead, then quickly pulled back.

Jiang Xizhi felt her forehead being kissed by Zhou Yining, she felt a little shy and a little happy.

She looked up at Zhou Yining, and as soon as their eyes met, she was drawn into Zhou Yining’s inky eyes.

For some reason, Jiang Xizhi only felt her heart beating faster and faster.

She had never seen Zhou Zhou like this before, so she couldn’t help but panic,

“Zhou Zhou, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Zhou Yining’s gaze landed on the girl’s lips, and then she looked into the girl’s eyes, “Still don’t understand?”

Jiang Xizhi shook her head subconsciously, “Understand what? What does it have to do with you alienating me?”

Looking at the confused young miss below her, most of the romance in Zhou Yining’s heart dissipated.

She sighed and leaned down again, gently kissing the corner of Jiang Xizhi’s lips, and then looking up at Jiang Xizhi.

“It’s like this, because I like you, not just the kind of liking between ordinary friends, can you understand?”

Zhou Yining looked at Jiang Xizhi, with her arms propped up on the bed, waiting for Jiang Xizhi’s answer.

It wasn’t that she kissed Jiang Xizhi without her consent, but that Zhou Yining was 95% sure that Jiang Xizhi also liked her.

As for the remaining 5%, it was just that the young miss hadn’t opened the door to the new world, so she might need a little time to slow down.

Sure enough, Jiang Xizhi was stunned by those words, her brain seemed to be short-circuited, and she just stared blankly at Zhou Yining.

Zhou Zhou said she liked her, and even kissed the corner of her lips just now?

Jiang Xizhi’s ear tips and cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. It took her a long time to stammer a sentence,

“It’s just that, it’s just that I never thought about it that way.”

Zhou Yining got off her and nodded slightly at Jiang Xizhi,

“Yeah, I know, so I have to let you take it slow. The reason why I’ve been alienating you recently is for that reason, I’m afraid I can’t help but want to kiss you and be close to you.”

Hearing Zhou Yining say it so bluntly, Jiang Xizhi’s whole face turned red, and she flipped over and buried herself in the blanket, too embarrassed to get up.

Zhou Zhou liked her and wanted to kiss her.

The more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and her face became even more red, even her neck was dyed crimson.

That feeling was a bit strange.

She had never liked girls before, but she didn’t hate that feeling, and even because Zhou Yining liked her, Jiang Xizhi felt a little happy, but her heart was also very confused.

Seeing her like that, Zhou Yining knew that she was digesting it, so she simply said, “Then do you want to stay here by yourself for a while? I’ll go downstairs and get something to drink.”

Jiang Xizhi didn’t speak while lying on the bed.

Zhou Yining shook her head with a smile and went out of the room.

She closed the door for Jiang Xizhi and went downstairs to get a glass of water from the dining room.

Seeing her come down, Jiang Yueyi walked over and asked,

“How is it? Did you coax her?”

“I guess I coaxed her. I told her that I liked her, but she might still need to digest it.” Zhou Yining said honestly.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t tell her first?” Jiang Yueyi asked.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought before, but it’s not good to keep arguing about that kind of thing, so I just told her.” Zhou Yining said and took a few sips of water.

Jiang Yueyi glanced upstairs and asked, “What did Zhizhi say?”

Zhou Yining shook her head, “She didn’t say anything, she was probably shy, so let her take it slow.”

Jiang Yueyi looked at Zhou Yining curiously, “You’re so calm. Aren’t you afraid that my Zhizhi doesn’t like you and just treats you like an ordinary friend?”

Zhou Yining smiled and shook her head, “She likes me, I can feel it.”

Jiang Yueyi rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and complained to Zhou Yining, “Are all you kids so confident now?”

Zhou Yining smiled at her, “Yeah.”

Jiang Yueyi shook her head speechlessly, “Okay, then, just make sure you coax her well before lunch.”

“Okay, I’ll go up in a bit.” Zhou Yining said, finishing the water in her cup.

She took a new cup, poured a glass of warm water, and then went upstairs.

As for Jiang Xizhi in the room, after Zhou Yining left, she happily rolled around on the bed several times. The girl covered the left corner of her lips with one hand, which was where Zhou Yining had kissed her just now.

Thinking that, Jiang Xizhi only felt like there were countless little deer crashing around in her heart, as sweet as if it was oozing honey.

She hummed and rolled around in the blanket a few more times, not knowing what to do.

Hearing footsteps coming from outside the door, the little fox panicked and could only lie on the bed.

When Zhou Yining pushed the door open with the cup, that was the scene she saw.

Her lips curved, she put the warm water on the cabinet on the side, and then sat on the edge of the bed, saying softly,

“Are you thirsty? Do you want to get up and drink some water?”

The young miss didn’t answer.

Zhou said, “Did I scare you? Is it so scary to hear my confession? Are you ignoring me? Or do you not like me?”

The young miss on the bed was still lying still and didn’t make a sound.

Zhou Yining shook her head with a smile. She propped herself up on the soft bed, looking at Jiang Xizhi.

“Okay, if you don’t like me, then after the National Day holiday is over, I’ll have to go back…”

“You dare!” Jiang Xizhi suddenly sat up.

Zhou Yining was amused by the young miss’s reaction, and then she met Jiang Xizhi’s angry eyes.

“I’m just kidding, Zhizhi, don’t be angry.” Zhou Yining quickly coaxed softly.

But Jiang Xizhi felt sour in her heart. She looked at Zhou Yining,

“I knew you were definitely acting strange, no wonder you were so nice to the girls in your class, there must be someone you like among them, right?”

Zhou Yining felt overwhelmed. “Really not, I’m just kidding with you. My classmates are just pure classmates, I only like you.”

Hearing Zhou Yining say she liked her again, Jiang Xizhi raised her head proudly, but her ears were flushed, looking extremely cute.

Zhou Yining leaned closer to Jiang Xizhi and said softly, “Don’t be angry, okay? Do you want a hug?”

Jiang Xizhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had never thought about other things when she hugged before, but now that she seemed to like Zhou Yining, hugging felt a bit shy.

Zhou Yining opened her arms, and seeing that Jiang Xizhi didn’t move for a long time, she said softly,

“Can’t I even get a hug? It seems you don’t like me.”

Zhou Yining lowered her eyes deliberately, pretending to be sad, and looked at Jiang Xizhi aggrievedly, “Well, I’ll go now.”

As soon as Jiang Xizhi heard her say she was leaving, she quickly hugged Zhou Yining from behind, “Where are you going?”

“You don’t like me, of course I’m going home.” Zhou Yining continued to pretend to be pitiful.

The young miss immediately hugged Zhou Yining tighter from behind,

“I don’t dislike you, it’s just that, it’s just that what you said was a little sudden, and I couldn’t react for a moment.”

Zhou Yining’s lips curved slightly, but she quickly returned to her previously aggrieved expression, “So, do you also like me?”

Saying this, she looked at Jiang Xizhi with anticipation.

Although Jiang Xizhi was shy, she was afraid that Zhou Yining would be sad, so she had to nod, suppressing her shyness, “I like you.”

As soon as Zhou Yining heard this, she immediately perked up.

She turned around and broke free from Jiang Xizhi’s arms, then reached out and hugged Jiang Xizhi, “I knew you must also like me.”

Jiang Xizhi buried herself shyly in Zhou Yining’s arms, but compared to many times in the past, she always felt that something was different.

She simply buried her face in Zhou Yining’s arms, only revealing two red ears. Jiang Xizhi asked softly and shyly, “Then, when did you start liking me?”

After asking, she shyly rubbed against Zhou Yining’s arms.

Zhou Yining’s eyebrows curved slightly, “I don’t know, maybe I liked you from the first time I saw you, maybe I only started liking you recently.”

“You’re lying, I clearly remember you writing a love letter to Zhang Ye before.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Xizhi felt sour again, her Zhou Zhou had never written her a love letter, it was really a bargain for Zhang Ye.

“If you want one, I can write one for you every day in the future, just as long as you don’t get mad at me.” Zhou Yining reached out and gently put her arm around Jiang Xizhi’s lower back to coax her.

Jiang Xizhi hummed in her arms for a while, and then thought that Zhou Yining had said she would not be able to resist wanting to kiss her, wanting to be close to her, and Jiang Xizhi’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

Honestly, Zhou Yining’s kiss on the corner of her lips was just a quick touch, and Jiang Xizhi felt a little unsatisfied, after all, her mind was blank just now, and she didn’t feel it at all.

She actually wanted Zhou Yining to kiss her again, but she was too shy to say it.

Asking her girlfriend for a kiss or something, she blushed just thinking about it.

Zhou Yining didn’t know what the young miss was thinking, she just watched the person in her arms recover a little, but her ears turned red again.

Zhou Yining hugged Jiang Xizhi amusedly and asked softly, “What are you thinking about? Why are your ears red again?”

Saying this, she reached out and gently pinched her, and Jiang Xizhi in her arms trembled.

Jiang Xizhi rubbed against her in her arms and pushed her away, “Don’t pinch.”

Her voice was so delicate and soft, like a little fox being pinched on the tail.

“Okay, I won’t move, you lean on me and take it slow.”

Having just confessed her feelings, Zhou Yining didn’t want to scare the little fox, she just coaxed the person in her arms softly.

“Yeah.” Jiang Xizhi nodded obediently, and then lay quietly in Zhou Yining’s arms to calm her emotions.

After more than ten minutes, she got up from Zhou Yining’s arms, but she was still a little afraid to look into Zhou Yining’s eyes.

Zhou Yining got up and brought the water cup over, saying softly, “Drink some water first, and rest for a while.”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Xizhi took the water cup and obediently drank the water inside, and then secretly looked at Zhou Yining, only to see Zhou Yining looking at her with a smile in her eyes.

Jiang Xizhi’s ears turned red again, and she pursed her lips a little awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Yining looked at her amusedly and said softly,

“Relax a little, I won’t do anything to you without your permission, don’t be so nervous.”

“I’m not nervous, I’m just a little unaccustomed to it.”

When she came in the morning, she and Zhou Yining were still good friends, but now it had become like this, she really hadn’t expected it.
