You Are My Unforgettable Love

Panda Novel

As soon as she asked this question, Shi Nianyao’s heart started racing and jumping out of control

It thumped erratically.

She did not dare to raise her eyes and look at Mo Xicheng, so she stared at the ground with a lowered head. Her attention, however, was fully and entirely focused on Mo Xicheng.

He, on the other hand, was stunned by her question and didn’t know what to say.

This was the first time in her life she made this sort of confession.

The anxiety and unease she felt right now was torturous and she thought she would go crazy.

Was that a yes or a no?!

She bit her lip, wishing that time would go faster so that she could hear an answer.

Yet she also wished that time would stop still right there and then, so that she wouldn’t hear an answer that was different from what she wanted.

After what seemed like forever, Mo Xicheng still had not answered, making Shi Nianyao wish that she had never asked.

She coughed once and looked up. She was about to say something when she saw Mo Xicheng frowning in confusion. He tried to clarify it, “What do you mean?”

What did she mean?

Shi Nianyao almost died.

Wasn’t it simple and straightforward enough?

She said directly, “What I meant was that I like you. Can I be your girlfriend?”

The moment she said this, her face turned bright scarlet.

She bit her lip and gathered all her courage to raise her eyes and look straight at Mo Xicheng.

As though she wouldn’t give up if she didn’t get an answer.

However, following this, Mo Xicheng was quiet for a long time.

He remained expressionless, and his eyes were gloomy and deep, as always, like doorways to a million things.

For some reason, when she saw his expression, she suddenly felt as though she knew what he was going to say.

She looked away quickly and tried to change the topic, “Look, the sky is beautiful tonight.”

However, Mo Xicheng finally spoke, “I don’t really intend to date anyone at the moment.”

Shi Nianyao halted for a moment.

She felt her heart, which had been full of hope just a moment ago, turn cold as though it had been tossed into the wintry wilderness.

She felt like she had been drenched with a basin of icy cold water.

She gave Mo Xicheng a startled look and held the gaze for some time before the truth sank into her. She had been rejected.

But… no matter what, she had to keep her composure in front of her idol.

Shi Nianyao gulped and then managed to squeeze a smile, that looked even worse than crying. “Oh, well maybe when you have that intention, you can let me know.”

Saying this was just a way for her to ease herself out of the situation.

Being such an intelligent girl, how could she have missed how Mo Xicheng was trying to create a distance between them?

His gaze darkening, he hesitated for a moment before replying, “Ok.”

Then Shi Nianyao said, “I just remembered. I have to look for Chief Editor Lian Lian to discuss something. Why don’t you leave first? ‘ll walk back to look for them.”

There were streets with stores and street sellers all around, so it was quite safe.

Besides, the girl was on the verge of tears. Given her stubbornness and pride, she probably did not want him to be around to see the predicament she was in.

Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and said, “Ok.”

She then turned and slowly walked back in the direction of the hotpot restaurant.

The sky had darkened and the lights had dimmed.

No one could really see the expression on her face, but Shi Nianyao felt as though she was choking on a huge wad of cotton wool stuck in her chest.

She tried hard to suppress her own emotions, telling herself not to cry. Otherwise, it would be just too embarrassing.

It was just a confession and a rejection, what was there to cry about?
