After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him
Chapter 449 - 447: Will You Still Want Me After Figuring It Out?

Chapter 449: Chapter 447: Will You Still Want Me After Figuring It Out?

His words were urgent.

It seemed as if he couldn’t say them now, he would never be able to say them again.

Xu Zhenzhen was stunned; she looked dazedly at Xia Wenqing’s gripping arm, considering what to say, when Xia Wenqing suddenly pulled her into a fierce embrace.

"You weren’t joking just now, were you? You said... you said I need to take responsibility for you, didn’t you?"

Xia Wenqing’s voice fell into Xu Zhenzhen’s ears, and even clearer than his voice was the "thump, thump" of his wildly beating heart.

Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes suddenly widened considerably as she felt Xia Wenqing’s arms pulling her closer, and she seemed to realize something.

"Big brother, do you, do you like me? If I’m wrong, you..."

Before Xu Zhenzhen could finish her sentence, Xia Wenqing interrupted her, "Yes, I like you, I’ve liked you for a long time!"

He held Xu Zhenzhen, no longer trying to hide his feelings, simply pouring out all the truth.

If he had to say what he regretted most in his life, it was definitely the kiss that happened when they were drunk last time.

He had recklessly kissed her without confirming Xu Zhenzhen’s feelings first.

Xia Wenqing didn’t want to make the same mistake again, yet he didn’t know what to do.

He had just listened to Xu Zhenzhen’s words, and it always felt like she might have feelings for him too. Although he had misunderstood before at school, this time, he hoped that providence would give him a chance.

Xu Zhenzhen abruptly pulled away from Xia Wenqing, staring at him in disbelief, "When you say a long time ago, when was that?"

Xia Wenqing, with his arm being pressed by Xu Zhenzhen, subconsciously replied, "Well... back in school."

"Impossible!" Xu Zhenzhen said with great certainty, "Back then, you were so cold to me!"

Xia Wenqing’s mouth twitched slightly, "When have I ever been cold to you? I’ve always been nicer to you than to anyone else. Haven’t you noticed?"

Xu Zhenzhen blinked, full of doubt, "Aren’t you nice to everyone?"

Xia Wenqing sighed helplessly and raised his hand to rub Xu Zhenzhen’s head, "Back in school, in my presence, you were the only one with privileges, no one else."

"..."

Xu Zhenzhen was stunned. She had always thought Xia Wenqing was a very approachable senior, but actually, he had been approachable to her alone.

A smile tugged at her lips, but it quickly froze on her face.

Xu Zhenzhen looked up at Xia Wenqing, "Then... why did you start treating me badly afterward?"

"..."

Xia Wenqing suddenly fell silent too.

How could he explain this?

Seeing Xia Wenqing’s silence, Xu Zhenzhen thought back to when she had misunderstood that he liked Liu Xiaozhen because he had written the character "Zhen."

It just so happened that both Liu Xiaozhen and she had the character "Zhen" in their names.

Could it be that what Xia Wenqing said was true, that he really liked her from the start?

However, this whole thing felt as unbelievable as a fairy tale...

Xu Zhenzhen took a deep breath and reached out her little hand to grasp Xia Wenqing’s larger one, saying, "Big brother, I think we need to have a good talk today."

As she spoke, she pulled Xia Wenqing to the couch in the room.

Xu Zhenzhen hadn’t known Xia Wenqing liked her, and after perceiving his coldness towards her, she heard he liked Liu Xiaozhen, which is why she left school so abruptly.

Now, upon careful consideration, there seemed to be quite a few misunderstandings between them.

Xu Zhenzhen made up her mind that today she would get to the bottom of what happened back then, no matter what.

Xia Wenqing sat down on the sofa following Xu Zhenzhen’s lead, since she wanted to talk, he was willing to keep her company.

Things had reached this point; there was no turning back now.

Xu Zhenzhen looked up at Xia Wenqing, who was seated opposite her. She had thought the drunken Xia Wenqing was exceptionally gentle, but to her surprise, even after sobering up, he remained just as docile.

This feeling was quite novel to Xu Zhenzhen.

She took a deep breath and started speaking in as calm a voice as she could muster, "I feel like... there are many things about our time at school that don’t quite add up. I want to clear them up."

Xia Wenqing resignedly nodded, "Then... after we clear them up, will you still want me?"

His voice sounded somewhat pitiable, sitting on the sofa like a big, abandoned dog.

Xu Zhenzhen almost lost her composure.

Her small hand tightly grasped Xia Wenqing’s larger one, "Yes, I definitely want you, as long as you haven’t done anything atrocious."

"..."

Kissing her before... did that count as something atrocious?

Xia Wenqing sunk into a deep self-doubt.

Xu Zhenzhen didn’t notice his expression and continued with her question, "What was the reason for your coldness towards me back then?"

Xia Wenqing let out a long sigh, "Back then, it wasn’t me being cold to you, but you would always take off as soon as you saw me, which made me think you didn’t want to see me. So, I gradually dared not to be too enthusiastic in front of you. Little did I expect..."

Little did he expect that Xu Zhenzhen would just disappear.

Whenever Xia Wenqing thought about this, it would cause a dull pain in his heart.

Hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes widened in surprise, "You’re saying I was avoiding you? I..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt as it seemed there was indeed such an incident...

As for the reason, she felt somewhat embarrassed to say it out loud.

But since Xia Wenqing had been honest with her, there was no need for her to continue to beat around the bush.

"I was avoiding you because I had a rather unsettling dream at that time," she confessed, lowering her little head, "I dreamed that I kissed you, and every time I saw you afterward, it reminded me of that dream, so I felt embarrassed and avoided you."

Xia Wenqing was taken aback, "So, you didn’t actually have an aversion to being close to me?"

Xu Zhenzhen nodded honestly, "I liked you back then too; how could I possibly have an aversion?"

Xia Wenqing covered his face with his hand.

If he had known it was like this, what was he hesitating for?

All this time wasted almost led to them missing out.

He nearly lost Xu Zhenzhen!

Xia Wenqing suddenly felt deep regret. If he had been just a little braver back then and confessed his feelings to Xu Zhenzhen, would things between them be different now?

Fortunately, Xu Zhenzhen had been found by him again; otherwise, he would never have been at peace for the rest of his life.

Xia Wenqing scooted closer to Xu Zhenzhen, grabbed her, and lifted her into his arms.

Xu Zhenzhen got such a fright that she almost reflexively wrapped her arms around Xia Wenqing’s neck, "Second Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

Xia Wenqing leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips, "What if I told you... that your dream that day wasn’t a dream, but a reality, would you believe me?"

"Huh?! What reality?" Xu Zhenzhen suddenly felt like her brain couldn’t keep up.

Xia Wenqing looked at Xu Zhenzhen with amusement and kissed her again on the eyes, "What I mean is... the so-called dream you had actually happened."
