Chapter 223: Chapter 222: Dizzy and Confused (4 more to come)

Jin Yu pursed his lips and said, "I said it’s nothing, don’t ask blindly."

His tone sounded somewhat impatient, but Jin Yu was just restless, not knowing how to answer the question.

Xu Niannian’s eyes widened: "Are you getting impatient with me?"

Jin Yu was taken aback and quickly explained, "No, I swear, how could I possibly get impatient with you?"

He hadn’t even had enough time to cherish her.

"Then just tell me what was really going on just now, don’t say it’s nothing, you obviously have something on your mind, do you think I’m blind? After we kissed, you’ve been pulling a long face."

Xu Niannian can be particularly stubborn in some respects.

Moreover, she didn’t like there to be barriers or grudges between lovers.

If he had any unhappiness, he should just say it; if it was her problem, she would change, if not, at least they should talk about it.

Without communication and just giving perfunctory responses, it would eventually blow up one day.

She liked to nip problems in the bud.

"Do you really want to hear it?" Xu Niannian’s insistence made Jin Yu waver as well: "If I tell you, you’re not allowed to get angry."

"I promise," Xu Niannian said, "Whoever gets angry is a dog."

At the sound of this, that hint of gloom in Jin Yu’s heart finally saw a glimmer of light.

"Can you tell me about your thing with Liu Wendong?" Jin Yu didn’t directly ask the core question at the start, thinking to soften it up a bit.

Xu Niannian, being so smart, heard him mention Liu Wendong, and linking it to his sudden bad mood after the kiss, immediately guessed the heart of the problem.

"Are you wanting to ask if I’ve ever kissed Liu Wendong?"

Jin Yu was taken aback; she went straight to the point, leaving him momentarily speechless.

Was he that obvious?

Jin Yu’s face flushed red all of a sudden, feeling that as a grown man, asking this question seemed really beneath him.

Being concerned about the past, that simply wasn’t a man’s behavior.

He had intended to ease into it, gradually bringing up the question so it didn’t seem so abrupt, and to also emphasize that he wasn’t objecting to her past, just jealous.

With her blunt statement, Jin Yu’s rhythm was completely thrown off.

Confronted with her eyes that seemed to see through everything, Jin Yu panicked.

He blurted out impatiently, "I’m not objecting to your past with him, it’s just, just... curiosity."

After much struggle, he still couldn’t bring himself to say the word ’jealous’.

Xu Niannian calmly listened to his nonsense; wasn’t he just jealous, what was there to make excuses for?

Didn’t he know that a woman would be delighted to know her man was jealous because of her?

"So you’re just curious, huh?" Xu Niannian laughed, her eyes sparkling and bright.

She made an effort to look affectionate, bowing her head slightly: "It’s not that I can’t tell you, Liu Wendong and I..."

Jin Yu’s eyebrows shot up, his handsome brows arrogant and unrivaled, yet revealing his concern.

Xu Niannian coughed, continuing to make up a story: "We held hands, we kissed..."

Jin Yu clenched his fists, but stubbornly kept a straight face, pretending he didn’t care about her past.

Out of the corner of her eye, Xu Niannian caught this gesture, struggling to hold back laughter, and continued to feign nostalgia.

"There was this one time, we were on the hillside at the back of the school, I was wearing a skirt, and he..."

"Enough," Jin Yu suddenly shouted, veins bulging on his forehead.

Xu Niannian tilted her head, blinking in confusion: "What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who was curious?"

Her expression was a little aggrieved: "Do you mind my past...?"

The Jin Yu who had been consumed with jealousy a second ago immediately came to his senses amidst Xu Niannian’s aggrieved look, and all his anger disappeared.

"I don’t," Jin Yu spoke gruffly.

He wasn’t objecting, he was caring.

A world of difference in meaning with just one word’s difference.

"Don’t feel wronged, I won’t ask anymore," Jin Yu continued gruffly, comforting Xu Niannian: "I don’t mind, darling, don’t overthink it."

Hearing his gruff voice, Xu Niannian suddenly felt guilty.

She stopped teasing him and lunged forward to hug him, arms hooking around his neck.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking with you, nothing ever happened between Liu Wendong and me, we never even held hands, we never dated."

Her soft, velvety voice entered Jin Yu’s heart like the sound of heaven, instantly blossoming like spring.

Jin Yu’s emotions rollercoastered, tumbling from the depths in one second and shouting for joy the next.

"Really?" His eyes shone as he looked at Xu Niannian, his dark pupils sparkling like stars.

Then, as if remembering something, he frowned: "What about the word on your hand?"

Xu Niannian paused, this she really couldn’t explain.

She could only say as tactfully as possible: "It’s not important, the point is I like you now, and if you have a way to remove the scar from my hand, I’ll definitely cooperate actively."

She paused in the middle, and Jin Yu felt it.

His soaring heart sank a little, but hearing her say she likes him now, his restless heart immediately leapt up, skyrocketing to the heavens.

Jin Yu was as happy as a fool, his smiling lips nearly reaching behind his ears.

Xu Niannian smiled along, her tone soft: "So in the future, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly, don’t keep it to yourself, I won’t get angry."

"Okay," Jin Yu had already been entranced by her liking him.
