Wei Zhiqian’s heart was in so much pain that he felt as if someone was squeezing it. It was as if his life was in the hands of someone else.
“I was afraid of this. I was afraid that you would fall in love with someone else. I was afraid that you would be taken away from me. That was why I acted despicably and took the first move to make you my girlfriend. I took you all your opportunities and rights to look at others. I’m 27 now, I’ve seen the world a few years earlier than you, and I’ve seen more people than you. I know what I want. But you’re different, and that’s all because of my selfishness, it’s just unfair to you. I know that I like you. In these 27 years, you’re the first and only person that I’ve fallen in love with,” Wei Zhiqian said, “I’m mature enough and I’ve seen enough to determine my feelings. It’s not easy for me to fall in love.”
Suddenly, Wei Zhiqian let out a light laugh, “This may be fate’s design, that Chengzhi and the others also have great difficulty in finding the person they love. But the moment they do, that will be the only girl we will ever love. It seems like it’s all predestined. If we haven’t met the one, we will stay single and not compromise just for some needs. The moment we meet the one, she would be our only one, never changing in this life.”
“When I started to have feelings for you back then, I should have known that no matter how I tried to escape, it would be useless. I didn’t understand that and made you angry,” Thinking of this, Wei Zhiqian apologized to Tan Mo.
Although he had already apologized to Tan Mo at that time, the reason for his apology was different.
The reason for his apology this time was because he hadn’t understood his fate and made Tan Mo angry.
“I know what I want. I know that I love you, and this will never change that for the rest of my life,” Wei Zhiqian’s voice became a little tense and deep as he spoke, “But I also know that you are still young, and I have no right to stop you from seeing the world and people. One day, you may find that your love for me is only rooted in your dependence on me, your habit, and the feeling of safety. You may find that someone else will bring you more heartfelt moments than me.
“When that time comes and you regret being with me, the day you fall out of love with me, I will let you go,” Wei Zhiqian’s heart clenched tightly as he said these words.
He couldn’t even bear thinking about such a scene that may happen in the future.
“And now, the time we are together can be considered something that I stole selfishly,” Wei Zhiqian said in a low voice. “Even if you don’t like me anymore, my love for you will not decrease, and I will not look for anyone else. We have all thought about it more than once, that perhaps it’s just like how we have the ability to awaken. Although there are no written records, it has already been destined that in this lifetime, we will only fall in love with one person.” This was Wei Zhiqian’s guess, he did not know whether it was right or wrong.
However, he was certain that in this lifetime, other than Tan Mo, there would be no one else.
“I’m much older than you, so it’s unfair to you. I…” Before Wei Zhiqian could finish his sentence, Tan Mo suddenly raised her head from his embrace.
Tan Mo was short. Even though she had been drinking milk all these years, she had not grown much taller.
Till now, she had only reached Wei Zhiqian’s chest.
She did not even need to bend down and lower her head to bury her face in his chest.
At this moment, Tan Mo stood on tiptoes, but could not manage to even reach Wei Zhiqian’s chin.
Tan Mo gritted her teeth, and with a swift move, jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist.
However, she did not manage to hold on firmly and fell a little.
Wei Zhiqian was fast to react and quickly held her.
He held Tan Mo firmly. Even if she did not use her hands to hold his neck or shoulders, she could still sit firmly in Wei Zhiqian’s arms.
Tan Mo only felt her entire body heat up. In the past, she had also used this position to stay close to Wei Zhiqian’s body. It was a typical koala hug.
However, this time, it was probably because she had other thoughts in her heart. Perhaps it was because of the change in her relationship with Wei Zhiqian, or perhaps it was because she suddenly recalled the morning after Wei Zhiqian had confessed to her, he suddenly hugged her like this, pressed her against the door, and kissed her fiercely before sending her out the door.
Only then did Tan Mo realize that such things could be done when hugging like this.
Tan Mo hadn’t been able to reach Wei Zhiqian just now, which is why she suddenly thought of this move.
She exerted some strength and pulled Wei Zhiqian’s head down, taking the initiative to kiss Wei Zhiqian’s lips.
Wei Zhiqian’s brain exploded.
The little lady was kissing him in a disorganized manner.
She was only pressing her lips against his lips, rubbing and grinding randomly.
But even so, it was enough to make Wei zhiqian suffer.
His lips were filled with the sweet scent of the little lady.
Tan Mo was usually mischievous and lively, but this was still her first relationship. Even she couldn’t be exempt from the embarrassment most little girls would feel.
She hadn’t had the experience of kissing before, so how could she know how to do it.
Thus, she had always been embarrassed to take the initiative to kiss him.
Although Tan Mo still had no idea how to kiss, her taking the initiative like this had made Wei Zhiqian’s mind go blank for a moment. He forgot to react and was only stood in a daze as Tan Mo landed peckish kisses on his lips.
After a long time, until her lips were numb did Tan Mo let go of Wei Zhiqian.
Her small hands were still holding Wei Zhiqian’s face. “I like you, uncle. I like you the most. I won’t like anyone else. I… I’ve met a lot of people.”
Her uncle didn’t know how many years she had lived in her previous life.
Although she didn’t see many people all year round on that mountain, she knew that the only person she liked was her uncle.
“Just like how you know that you will love me for the rest of your life, I am also firm that I will only love you for the rest of my life. I won’t like anyone else,” Tan Mo looked firmly into Wei Zhiqian’s eyes, she wanted Wei Zhiqian to see the unwavering determination in her eyes.
“It’s precisely because I’ve known you since I was young that others just don’t cut it for me,” Tan Mo said firmly, “I still remember that when I was young and haven’t met you, even though Wei Keli hadn’t shown any signs of being despicable and treated me quite well, I still thought that as long as he didn’t do anything excessive, I would still treat him as a friend for the sake of him being nice to me. Before I met you, I could still tolerate his occasional actions that would anger me, but I couldn’t tolerate them anymore when you appeared and I had a comparison. I was always thinking there’s just a 5 year age gap between you two, how could there be such a huge difference?” Tan Mo continued, “It’s not just Wei Keli. Even if I look at other people, be it my classmates or the other students from my school, disregarding my peers, even those in the same grade are people who are older than me, but each and every one of them is simply not as mature and steady as you are. Besides, none of them are as good-looking as you.”
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
He didn’t expect that the little lady would put so much emphasis on looks.
He should be glad that he was pretty good-looking. Otherwise, no matter how mature he was, he wouldn’t be able to catch the little lady’s eyes.
“I’ve met quite a few people, but none of them are as good as you,” Tan Mo said..
