Chapter 462 – An Apple Instead Of Flowers
''He used to be so scared of needles that he got nightmares over it for days. He even remembers the length of the needle. Mmm.. Did he say it was 1.5 inch?'' Shi Luo laughed, ''But on a serious note, he seems like a nice person…''
''Enough,'' he interrupted her.
Shi Luo blinked.
He placed a palm on either side of the kitchen counter and stepped closer to her, ''Enough of your blind date. Tell me your thoughts about our kiss…. Kisses I mean.''
Her eyes widened.
''It seems you didn't forget it at all.''
Shi Luo cleared her throat, ''What are you talking about?" Her reaction earlier was a huge giveaway. It was too late to pretend that she had one-night-amnesia in which she forgot everything after getting drunk.
''You kissed me yesterday,'' he looked into her eyes, ''What is that supposed to mean?'' he asked.
''I was drunk yesterday. Accidents happen,'' she averted her gaze. Why was he talking about this all of a sudden? Didn't they silently agree on keeping quiet on this matter?
''Oh, is it?" He raised an eyebrow, ''When I initiated the kiss back when we were in Beijing, you didn't seem to dislike it. You kissed me back. Was that an accident too?"
Shi Luo bit her bottom lips, ''Yeah,'' she mumbled, not daring ro looking at him.
He pinched her chin, tilting her face towards him, ''Luoluo, what do you take me as, huh? Do you think I am unaffected when you are gushing about another man right in front of me?"
''I was not gushing about him. I was just telling you what kind of person he was…''
He shut her up with a fleeting kiss, ''Mention him once again and I swear this won't stop.''
Shi Luo pursed her lips.
''You feel nothing for me?" He wrapped an arm around her waist and lifted his other hand, his fingers removed the hairband with expertise, letting her hair fall freely.
Shi Luo did not respond for a long time but his persistent gaze never wavered. ''We are not compatible,'' she whispered after a long time.
''Do you have feelings for me?" he asked, playing with the tip of her hair.
The corner of her lips twitched, ''My mom will never agree to it.''
''Do you have feelings for me?" He tucked her hair behind her ear.
Was he going to avoid her words till he got an answer? ''I am not sure if it will work out or not and if you feel the same…''
''Yes or no,'' he interrupted her and looked into her eyes seriously.
Shi Luo gulped. After a few moments of silence between them, she spoke up, ''Mild feelings. Yes.''
''I like you too,'' he whispered against her lips.
Shi Luo was stunned, ''I said mild feelings. I didn't confess to you,'' What did he mean by 'too'?
''Count it as me confessing then,'' he said with a straight face even though his heart was racing with nervousness and anticipation, ''I have liked you since a long time.''
Her heart skipped a beat.
His arm loosened around her waist and he stepped back from her. He grabbed an apple from the fruit basket before coming down on one of his knees. He extended his hand towards her, ''Although I don't have flowers at the moment but it's not going to stop me from telling you that I like you a lot,'' he tilted his head to look at her, ''Will you be my girlfriend, Luoluo?"
Her heart was racing wildly and she could hear the sound of her heartbeats loud and clear in her ears. ''I…'' she did not know what to say. She felt somewhat giddy.
He waited patiently, looking into her eyes and still holding the apple in his hand.
''But… but…'' Shi Luo pointed her finger at him, ''What about that girl who was holding your hand? You even opened the car door for her…'' she mumbled under her breath.
Jun Boyan frowned, ''Who…'' he paused as the realization dawned on him, ''I will tell you the truth but first, you need to answer me.''
''You are not going to scam me, are you?"
''Ah, this apple sure is heavy,'' Jun Boyan was about to retract his hand but Shi Luo quickly grabbed the apple from his hand.
''I like you too,'' she turned her face aside, a red tint creeping up to her cheeks.
He pushed himself to his feet and the corner of his lips tugged up, ''You need to take a bite of it since you have accepted it,'' he folded his arms in front of his chest as he glanced at the apple.
Shi Luo munched on the apple, biting it from one corner.
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer.
''What?'' he asked as her eyes widened by their sudden proximity, ''Now, you need to share it as well,'' he sucked her bottom lips.
Shi Luo gulped the apple, her mind freezing and crashing for a few seconds.
''How sweet,'' he whispered against her lips, ''I thought our third kiss was going to take a very long time. It sure as hell would have tested my patience. Good that you are mine now.''
She blushed. She did not understand how she ended up acting like a teenager around him all the time.
Shi Luo wrapped her arms around his neck, ''It didn't take a long time,'' she stood up on her tiptoes and leaned closer to him.
He wrapped an arm around her waist to support her body.
Just as their lips were about to touch, the doorbell started ringing.
Shi Luo stiffened.
'Damn, this crazy doorbell,' Jun Boyan tried his best to not let it affect him but a vein popped on his forehead.
''I'll check,'' Shi Luo coughed twice.
''Yes…'' Jun Boyan glanced at the kitchen cabinets quietly.
Shi Luo cleared her throat before running away.
He folded his arms in front of his chest and turned to look at her retreating back.
