Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 2017 - 2014: I’ve Always Liked You

Nangong Ran was very nervous after asking, and seeing Di Mingchen not respond made her even more nervous!

In truth, she longed for this brief moment of gentle affection and closeness that had blinded her. She felt that she shouldn’t have exposed such a situation. Even if she were to be a bit greedy, she should have tried to make this moment last a bit longer, even if it was just for a little while longer.

But what she wanted even more was to hear him say, "Actually, I like you."

Nangong Ran was a bit conflicted, a bit at a loss, unsure whether she should interrupt him and change the topic.

Or perhaps, for the sake of so-called dignity, she should say something casual and carefree.

Seeing he hadn’t responded for a long time, Nangong Ran could no longer hold back and spoke first, "Actually, I was just asking casually, you don’t have to take it seriously, we..."

Her words were cut off mid-sentence by him. He looked at her, placed his large hand gently on her head, and said soothingly, "Xiaoran, do you think if I didn’t like you, you’d really be able to sleep with me?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ran’s spine suddenly stiffened, and she almost instinctively widened her eyes in disbelief!

Di Mingchen stepped back slightly from her lips, then rubbed her cheek with his thumb, looking into her eyes and speaking word by word, "Xiaoran, I like you, I’ve always liked you. I don’t know when exactly you appeared in my mind, and I don’t know if it’s just liking, or maybe it’s more than that. I think I must love you."

At these words, Nangong Ran looked almost as if she had seen a ghost, shocked, deeply shocked!

This answer, this assumption, she had imagined a thousand times, ten thousand times, but it had always been just a fantasy!

There were countless times she had imagined Di Mingchen suddenly holding her in his arms and saying, "Actually, I like you!"

But it really was just a fantasy, because Di Mingchen had rejected her twice!

He spoke of friendship, of being like a sister to him, but actually, it was because they knew each other too well, and he didn’t want things to become too awkward. She had always thought that.

But unexpectedly, today, at this moment, now...

He actually told her he liked her!

And he always had!

And he said he thought he must love her!!

Love her...

Nangong Ran was so shocked that she froze, completely stiff in his arms as if she had been frozen in place.

Di Mingchen frowned slightly, "What’s wrong?"

"What, what did you just say?" Nangong Ran grabbed onto his large hand, "You, you, say it again!"

"No, wait! I’m not sick, no fever, right?"

"And I’m not dreaming, right?"

"Is all of this real?"

Nangong Ran’s stunned and overwhelmed expression inexplicably made Di Mingchen feel a bit sad. How distrusting of him must she have been, how sad must she have felt about his previous actions to react this way?

"It’s real!" Di Mingchen also held her small hand tightly, a bit excited, "Xiaoran, listen to me, you’re not sick, you have no fever, you’re not dreaming, all of this is real. I’m real, us sleeping together is real, and me liking you is real!"

Di Mingchen said several "real" in a row, and it was as if Nangong Ran finally came to her senses.

Once she reacted, she suddenly felt wronged.

Without warning, tears quickly filled her eyes, and even her delicate nose turned slightly red.

"What’s wrong!" Di Mingchen was immediately frightened, nervous and guilty and heartbroken all at once.

He hurriedly and clumsily pulled her into his arms, "Xiaoran, don’t cry, when you cry, I, I don’t even know what to do."
