Chapter 635 - 635 636 Birds and Fish (8)_1
?Chapter 635: Chapter 636 Birds and Fish (8)_1 Chapter 635: Chapter 636 Birds and Fish (8)_1 One type of answer seems to be on the tip of the tongue at any moment.
Jing Haohao was staring at her phone, frozen in place by the text message Liang Chen had sent, “Haohao, do you want to know who I like?”
She started to breathe a bit heavily and couldn’t bring herself to type a reply on her phone.
…
Liang Chen, sitting in the living room, thought that these moments felt like an eternity of torture.
He held his breath, waiting for a notification on his phone.
One second, one minute, ten minutes… For a whole twenty minutes, he did not receive any reply from Jing Haohao.
…
After a while, Jing Haohao moved slightly, only to realize that she had been laying in the same position for so long that her arm had started to go numb.
Jing Haohao flipped over and then very gently typed on her phone: “Who?”
Before sending, she felt her fingers trembling. She took a deep breath with her eyes closed and then sent the message.
…
The sound of the notification from the phone echoed in Liang Chen’s palm. He unlocked his phone without any hesitation. He was about to open the text message, when he clearly saw his fingertips trembling.
Message opened, and the two words that appeared on the screen were: “Who?”
Liang Chen stared at those two words for quite a while, then he took a deep breath and hesitated no longer, he gently typed and sent the response.
…
The moment her phone pinged, Jing Haohao instinctively pulled her blanket over her head and buried herself under it.
She vaguely felt like her heart might jump out of her chest at any moment.
She stayed in the dark for five minutes before finally reaching out to grab her phone. She unlocked it, still hiding under the blanket, and opened Liang Chen’s message.
Her first reaction was to close her eyes. In the quiet darkness of her bedding, she could hear her own heavy breathing. Her eyelashes were trembling for a long time before she slowly opened them, and then she clearly saw a single word on her phone screen.
Just one word.
You.
…
In that instant, Jing Haohao felt as if thunder was roaring in her brain. And then, her blood was like frozen, ceasing to flow. The air around her was so thin it was as if it had been sucked out of her, making it impossible for her to breathe.
She just stared at the phone screen, at the conversation they had.
— Haohao, do you want to know who I like?
— Who?
— You
After a long, long time, Jing Haohao finally moved her eyes slightly. She threw off her blanket and gasped for air, trying to breathe as hard as she could.
Then it took a long time for Jing Haohao to connect the dots in her scrambled brain: Liang Chen likes her, the person Liang Chen likes is her…
…
Liang Chen stayed in the living room in the exact same position. He had finally expressed his feelings.
The confession he had wanted to make on the same day they got their marriage certificate, he finally uttered it after so long.
No matter if she rejected it or accepted it.
He, after all, liked her.
Liang Chen slowly leaned back on the sofa, realizing that a simple word had drained so much of his energy.
He slowly tilted his head, looked at the ceiling light and closed his eyes.
