Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 484 - 485: Is it Hard to Admit That You Like Me?

Chu Ci stared at her for a few seconds before turning to walk ahead. She was startled for a moment, immediately hurrying after him, but her short legs made her struggle.

Eventually, he slowed his pace. Chu Yan followed him to the parking lot, silent as she got into the car and sat dazedly with a small bag in her arms.

In the days that followed the incident, she had changed a lot.

Chu Ci fastened his seatbelt, then asked in a low voice, "Are you that afraid of me?"

She didn’t make a sound. He asked again, "What are you afraid of?"

Chu Yan answered in a small voice, "I’m not scared."

"If you’re not scared, let’s go for dinner," he said calmly, and then started the car.

Chu Yan turned her head to look at his slightly cold face and asked, "Are you mad?"

"I wouldn’t say mad. But I’m not happy either," he said, giving a faint smile. After that, he focused on driving, silently observing the traffic ahead.

Chu Yan didn’t dare to provoke him and just sat back in her seat, eyes wide open.

She always felt somewhat restrained, unlike before.

Chu Ci could naturally sense this, which made his expression darken. Half an hour later, he pulled up outside a vegetarian restaurant, opened the car door, and said, "Get out."

Chu Yan got out and followed him through a special entrance into a private room.

They had been here before, but their feelings were completely different now. She used to be all over him, clinging to his side or nestled in his arms, always acting spoiled.

And now, it felt as if they were worlds apart.

She yearned for him, but dared not show it, fearing she might become addicted.

She wasn’t indifferent to him. After spending so many years together, he was the only man in her life and in her heart.

Chu Yan quietly sat down, listening as he spoke to the manager about some details, including that she couldn’t eat spicy food.

Only when they were alone in the room did Chu Ci pour her a glass of water, speaking lightly, "Have some water first."

Chu Yan spoke quietly, "I want to call my parents."

"I’ve already called them for you," he said blandly.

Then, silence fell.

Chu Yan didn’t know what to say or what to do with her hands...

After observing her for a long while, Chu Ci said lightly, "Is it that hard to admit that you like me?"

She immediately looked up at him, her big eyes filled with bewilderment.

She probably hadn’t expected him to say this all of a sudden.

Chu Ci sounded somewhat self-mocking. "Maybe you’ll never admit it in your lifetime."

Chu Yan suddenly bit her lip, staring intently at him...

Chu Ci remained still, leaning lightly against the chairback. His posture was very casual; his face was incredibly handsome, and his whole being exuded an aura of nobility...

Slowly, Chu Yan moved towards him, very carefully settling herself into his embrace.

Chu Ci looked down.

She tilted her small face upwards, looking at him pitifully... Her big eyes were brimming with tears.

His heart immediately softened. "Do you know what this means?"

Chu Yan’s voice trembled slightly. "I know. Can we... not hurt her?"

Chu Ci didn’t respond. He slowly lowered his head... His fingers on her shoulder suddenly tightened.

Tossing and turning...

Eventually, they skipped the meal. Chu Yan was taken to his villa...

...An ellipsis hinting at both love and hate... 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The next morning, Gu Anxi was discharged from the hospital.

Sitting in the car, she dialed Chu Yan’s number. She had something to tell her.

But after the phone rang five or six times, a familiar male voice answered, "Yan Yan is still sleeping."

Gu Anxi was startled and glanced at her phone. It was Chu Yan’s number.

The next moment, her heart dropped. It couldn’t be what she was thinking, could it?!

Trying to sound casual, she asked, "You two..."
