Chapter 196: Chapter 198: I Like You_1

Ye Ge’s figure stiffened, but soon relaxed again, clutching the hand Nan Feng had wrapped around his waist.

Nan Feng pressed her face against his back: "Ye Ge, I don’t know how you’ll see me after I say this, but no matter how you see me, I don’t care. If I don’t say this, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. Ye Ge, I like you very much, very very much. I didn’t know I liked you this much before, that’s why I gave up the chances to tell you time and again. But now, I have to tell you. During the time you were away, I missed you terribly. Whenever I thought of you, it felt like a knife was stabbing into my chest, it hurt so much. I feared I might never see you again."

Having finally expressed everything in her heart at once, Nan Feng was blushing brighter and her heart was pounding harder. She closed her eyes, leaned against Ye Ge’s back, hugging him as tightly as she could, waiting for him to either reject or accept her.

Would he reject it?

Or would he accept it?

After a long while, Ye Ge finally let go of Nan Feng’s hand and turned to face her.

Nan Feng stared blankly at him.

His face was covered in blood, of course not his own, but that of the mountain bandits.

But Nan Feng didn’t find him terrifying or ugly at all. She just thought he looked incredibly handsome and cool!

She was still waiting for his answer.

Ye Ge didn’t say anything, but he reached into his pocket and took out a piece of handkerchief.

Nan Feng took the handkerchief with a surprised look.

Yes, it was her handkerchief, it had a pink peach blossom embroidered on it. She had done it during the New Year period, and because her embroidery was terrible, Nan Quanyou had once said it looked like a sesame seed cake.

"How did this handkerchief end up with you?" Nan Feng asked.

"I secretly took it from you when we went to the opera," Ye Ge replied.

Nan Feng’s heart raced. "Are you trying to tell me... You took this handkerchief to remember me by?"

"Yes," Ye Ge replied.

"Does that mean, you like me too?"

"Yes," Ye Ge affirmed again.

Then, Ye Ge lifted his hand to caress her face: "I’ve always liked you."

"..." Nan Feng threw herself into his arms again.

Her face was flushed and her heart was pounding so fast, it felt like it would leap out of her chest.

So this is how thrilling a confession is.

It wasn’t until a breeze blew by, carrying with it the smell of blood, that Nan Feng realized they were surrounded by dead bodies.

Confessing amid dead bodies, truly, it’s unheard of.

Ye Ge’s voice was gentle beyond words: "Let’s clean up here first."

Nan Feng’s voice was indescribably charming: "Alright, as you say."

"..."

To prevent the bodies from rotting and causing an epidemic, the villagers dug a deep pit at the foot of the mountain behind the village and buried all the bandit corpses.

The villagers absolutely despised these bandits, wishing the wild animals from the mountain would come down in the middle of the night and devour their bodies.

Even though they had been scared out of their wits in these past few days, no one in Da Ping Village was injured. The villagers didn’t lose a single grain of rice, and not a single house was damaged, so everyone was extremely grateful to Ye Ge and Nan Feng.

Da Ping Village returned to its original peace.

At Min’an Reservoir, Nan Feng and Ye Ge sat on the dam. The newly-built dam was already overgrown with flowers and weeds. The setting sun cast its rays onto the reservoir, illuminating it in a reddish hue.

"Ye Ge, where have you been in the past few months?" Nan Feng asked.

"I haven’t been anywhere. I’ve just been staying on the mountain with Uncle Zhou Er," Ye Ge answered.

"What?" Nan Feng looked at Ye Ge in surprise. "I always thought you had left the village. I thought I would never see you again."
