As these three words were uttered from the first love’s mouth, seeing her teary appearance, Tang Song’s heart skipped a beat.
Liu Qingning is someone with very stable emotions, and she’s smart, independent, and rational.
In front of him, she has always been confident, proud, and positive.
All these years, he had never seen her lose control .
Whether it was graduating from high school or before leaving the Imperial City, she behaved with great composure, moving forward firmly according to her own plan.
These behaviors once led Tang Song to believe she had no romantic feelings for him.
It wasn’t until he learned about her home-buying plan that he gradually changed this view.
But now, Liu Qingning showed a kind of impulsiveness completely different from before.
She actively let go of her pride and rationality, kissed him, and confessed to him firmly.
Is there still a chance?
For him, this was never a question.
Didn’t the Dream System once show him a possible tragic future with her?
Even if Liu Qingning wanted to leave, he would never agree.
"Answer me, do we still have a chance?"
Liu Qingning’s lips trembled slightly, yet her gaze remained stubborn and firm, waiting for his answer.
Tang Song sighed and said softly, "Qingning, during the 10 months apart from you, I went through a lot, and many things happened around me.
If you’d asked me before leaving the Imperial City, I would have answered without hesitation, but now, I don’t want to lie to you; there is indeed someone else in my heart."
Hearing his words, looking at his face.
Liu Qingning’s shoulders began to tremble again and her sobs were particularly clear in the quiet night.
Scenes from the past surged into her mind.
Him riding a bicycle, him with a shy smile, him sweating profusely, him writing furiously, him silently, him hugging his guitar...
All the pride and rationality were overwhelmed by the rushing waves of emotion at this moment.
Tang Song gently held her hand.
Liu Qingning shook it off directly, lifting her head again.
Tears blurred her vision, she could only see Tang Song’s blurry outline.
But even so, she still tried hard to widen her eyes, stubbornly looking at him.
"I apologize to you, university, work I neglected you a lot, I’m sorry.
I got absorbed in competitions, work, making money, the sense of accomplishment from self-fulfillment, never seriously considered your feelings, nor expressed my feelings to you.
I know you have the right to like others, and the right to choose your own future.
But I truly don’t want to miss you, I’ve liked you for a long, long time.
During your efforts, I never slackened, always practicing the initial promise.
I’m about to resign from Century Wisdom, cash out 3.6 million yuan in stock equity, and I still have over 300,000 yuan in savings, and Teacher Wang fought for me to get 200,000 yuan in severance compensation.
In total, there’s 4 million in cash! You mentioned liking the house at Fresh Home, I know my mom said some bad things to you.
I’ve already contacted Wang Xiaoru to help find the right house, I plan to buy a full-price house in Yan City and put both our names on it.
My current technical skills are very good, I have opportunities to join major companies, as long as I work hard, I can quickly reach a million annual salary.
Liu Qingning continued to speak, even in such an emotional state, she still spoke clearly and logically.
She laid out her plan bit by bit.
She knew Tang Song’s efforts were because of her past "both strive, meet at the peak" letter.
She didn’t want Tang Song to feel that his dedication was meaningless.
She wanted to win him back.
Moonlight penetrated through the clouds, fell on her hair, her shoulders, and into her eyes.
Listening to her heartfelt words, looking at that familiar face.
Tang Song’s heart felt unprecedentedly restless, intense.
Tang Song reached out his hands, gently cupped her close-fitting oval face, and used his warm thumb to wipe away her falling tears.
Liu Qingning did not avoid it, raised her head, and looked at him with teary eyes.
"I want to walk the road with you." Tang Song seriously said.
He looked into her eyes, bowed his head, and gently kissed her lips.
It seemed as if a current spread from where they touched, both shuddering simultaneously.
Liu Qingning’s eyes quickly softened, and her face began to heat up.
Her ears echoed his earlier words, and a sense of relief surged in her heart.
Feeling the shyness and sweetness of the first love, Tang Song’s heart beat hotly like fire.
A sense of fulfillment from achieving a long-held wish filled Tang Song’s heart.
Liu Qingning uttered a soft moan, staring at him blankly, her breath growing more rapid.
After a moment, she reached out to cover his eyes.
Then, a wave of pain came from her mouth again.
Liu Qingning blushed, pushed his chest, and diverted her gaze, saying, "I’ve cried my makeup off, there’s acne and pimples on my face, I look terrible right now, you’re not allowed to look at me !"
Speaking, she opened her backpack, pulled out a tissue to wipe.
Even under dim light, being so close, even the pores on their faces were visible.
Yet, Tang Song’s skin was so good, making her feel a bit ashamed.
"Not ugly at all, I really like it."
Liu Qingning sniffed, shifted to the side, moved slightly away from him.
Blushing, she said, "What were you doing with your tongue just now!"
"Kissing, how does it feel? Want to do it again?" Tang Song leaned slightly towards her.
