She hadn’t misunderstood him, right…
She couldn’t withstand the impact of these ups and downs any longer.
Qin Mo didn’t say anything, just looking at her with an intense gaze. His grip turned even tighter. This kind of touch, this kind of gaze… An Ge’er’s heart was beating so violently that it could jump out of her mouth any time.
Imagine this. The Brother Qin Mo, who had treasured and pampered her since they were young and whom she had a crush on, was now explaining everything to her and taking the initiative to move a step closer to her…
What did this mean?
Was she able to finally put a full stop to her long-time secret admiration?
Qin Mo looked at her and moved his lips, saying a sentence, “An Ge’er, I like you.”
I like you…
Bam!
An Ge’er only felt her brain had jammed in that instant, thinking that she was hallucinating.
She had always been expecting that sentence. Then, it had arrived so abruptly now, without any hints. This made her feel a little lost after getting over her shock.
Her breathing was a little disorderly, and she didn’t dare to look into his eyes. “What… what kind of like?”
Did Brother Qin Mo like her as a sister like before, or was it the other kind of “like” that she had always wanted?
“An Ge’er, you’ve already grown up and are different from before…” he said with a gentleness in his eyes. The deep meaning within that gaze made An Ge’er blush.
Her heart began to race.
She was only an 18-year-old girl who was innocent yet enchanting. She began to feel nervous and at a loss when she heard the confession of love from the person she admired. A light blush started to appear onto her pale face.
“I was thinking to tell you only after you got into a university. But…” he said as he raised his hand to touch her little face. “You, little lass, are always letting your imagination run wild. Thus, I have to tell you now so you could be at ease.”
An Ge’er’s heart was pounding hard, yet she deliberately pretended to be calm. She raised her brows. “Really?”
There was a shyness hiding in her eyes.
Brother Qin Mo was waiting for her to get into a university, before making his… confession?
This acknowledgment was going to make An Ge’er’s heart pop out.
“Do your best for the exams. Don’t make me… wait too long.” Qin Mo curled his lips, looking ever so gentle.
An Ge’er stared at him and bit her lips. Suddenly, she couldn’t help but start laughing with her head bobbing up and down.
“However…” Qin Mo paused and continued earnestly, “There’s something I have to tell you. Your schoolwork is of the utmost importance now. You shouldn’t get distracted by other useless stuff.”
An Ge’er’s eyes flickered and clenched her fists unconsciously. “…”
Could he be talking about her auditioning for the online game?
“Is Brother Qin Mo doing this for An Ruxue?” An Ge’er lowered her gaze and hesitated for a while before whispering.
“Why would I? The entertainment industry isn’t as simple as you think. It’s a dangerous place and doesn’t suit you at all. It consumes people alive. It can raise a person to great heights, and if one is not careful, it will also send one straight to hell.”
An Ge’er smiled, “You’re overthinking, Brother Qin Mo. I’m not after any fame or fortune. I simply wanted to do something that I like. I just want to change to a kind of lifestyle that I like.”
Qin Mo gave up since he couldn’t convince her and rubbed her head. Then, he suddenly seemed to have remembered something. He frowned and said, “However… when have you become so distant with Xue’er? Isn’t she your older sister?”
When An Ge’er heard his words, she avoided his touch. Her expression was a little aloof.
