Chapter 919 - 355: Love You (3)
He took a deep breath, pressing against Jiang Ran’s shoulder a bit forcefully,
"Answer me, what do you really think of me?"
Jiang Ran’s eyes always had a kind of fatal attraction, as if they were two abysses.
Like a devil, she whispered in Fan Wubing’s ear,
"Legend has it that far away on the Scorching Sea, there lives a mythical bird. This mythical bird has extremely strong emotions, whether it loves or hates something, it won’t rest until death. So it’s also called the Phoenix. I might just be a reincarnation of one of those birds."
Once she finished speaking, she turned sunny and bright again, smiling as she asked,
"Is my answer clear enough?"
Fan Wubing wasn’t unclear. Yet he was even more aware that Jiang Ran was revealing her true feelings while warning him not to do anything that she would hate. Otherwise, love and hate would be instantaneous.
But, what does she hate?
Fan Wubing didn’t ask out loud. He felt that even if he asked, she wouldn’t say.
"I don’t quite understand..." he muttered.
Jiang Ran laughed,
"Then spend more time thinking about it."
Fan Wubing looked out the window, the sunset glow spilled onto the terrace,
"I want to tell you a story."
"Mm."
Fan Wubing recounted his story from the Eternal Immortal Continent.
He held nothing back. He did not shy away from his story with his senior sister and with Baili Yao Yue.
He also wanted to know if Jiang Ran would mind.
However, Jiang Ran seemed not surprised at all. She covered her mouth and chuckled,
"Though I don’t know the specifics, I actually knew long ago that Xiaojiu had a profound relationship with you. For someone as cold-hearted as her to focus so much on a seemingly unrelated person, what else could be the reason besides deep entanglement?"
"Do you think my senior sister is cold-hearted?"
"Perhaps only you don’t think so, after all, you’ve monopolized all her affection." Jiang Ran tilted her head, "Back then, it was because I felt she cared not at all about all the world that I parted ways with her. Now, hearing your story, I think I can understand her."
"So, do you also think it’s my fault?" Fan Wubing was somewhat upset.
"You people who aren’t bound by worldly rules don’t have a distinction between right and wrong. Just do what you want to do." Jiang Ran smiled, gently stroking Fan Wubing’s face.
Fan Wubing squinted his eyes like a cat, enjoying Jiang Ran’s touch,
"Then what do you think of Yao Yue?"
Jiang Ran pursed her lips into a smile, "Are you asking for my opinion? Should I be happy?"
"Of course I should ask. I want to ask everyone!"
"Baili Yao Yue is the Immortal Su Saintess, right."
"Mm."
"After I parted ways with Xiaojiu, it was her who pointed the way for me."
"Was it really so?"
Jiang Ran closed her eyes and thought, "I think I could get along well with her. I like her kind of mischievous personality, it’s very cute."
Fan Wubing let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good. Senior sister isn’t willing for me to be with Yao Yue. However, I can’t always listen to her. Plus, lately, I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with her... Suddenly, she just ignored me and avoided me."
Listening to Fan Wubing’s grievances, Jiang Ran thought for a while,
"How about I talk to Xiaojiu?"
Fan Wubing looked hopefully at Jiang Ran, "It used to be Man’Er who helped me with these things! Now that she’s not here, I have to rely on you!"
"Even you have things you’re not good at."
"No one is perfect." Fan Wubing let out a long breath, resting his chin on Jiang Ran’s head, contentedly saying, "Love you."
"..."
Not getting any reaction, Fan Wubing curiously looked at Jiang Ran, only to find that she was blushing.
Fan Wubing was greatly shocked. It was the first time he’d seen Jiang Ran blush.
He had said so many mushy words to her, none had penetrated her defense, never expecting the plain words "Love you" would do the trick.
