Rebirth of a Village Girl - Chapter 315:
Chapter 315: 105: Righteous Yangyang, Mystery Boss’s Confession_6
With half a day left, Ni Yang wanted to stroll around the streets, and pick up some local specialties to take back home.
Water chestnut cake and pineapple cake were specialties of Guangguan.
There were also many fruits not available in Beijing, such as durian, dragon fruit, and wax apples.
Ni Yang bought a bit of each, as well as a giant durian.
Durian was known to have a really strong smell, but the taste was genuinely good!
Seeing Ni Yang buying so much, Mo Qishen also bought a lot of things.
That night, Han Shulin and Lin Xiaoxue, holding their daughter Meimei, came to the train station to see them off.
Ni Yang and Mo Qishen waved goodbye to the family of three. “Brother Han, Sister-in-law Han, you must come to Beijing to play when you get the chance!”
“Sure! We will certainly disturb you when we do.”
“Goodbye, Sister Yangyang!”
“Goodbye, Meimei.”
…
By the time they returned to Beijing, it was a little after eight at night.
The temperature in Beijing was more than twenty degrees lower than Guangguan. As soon as they got off the train, Ni Yang wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket.
Though they were walking side by side on the street, not talking, the atmosphere was not awkward at all.
The night always seemed to make people more impulsive. Mo Qishen found his heart fluttering like a scared deer as he looked at Ni Yang’s profile.
They seemed to have grown closer during this Guangguan trip, but also not at all.
He felt he couldn’t wait any longer.
If he continued to wait, what if someone else beat him to it?
Engrossed in his thoughts, Mo Qishen didn’t notice the stone on the road and stumbled, almost falling over.
“Be careful, Brother Mo.” Ni Yang quickly reached out to steady him.
“Thank you, Yangyang.” The dim light of night hid Mo Qishen’s blush.
They slowly walked and quickly arrived at the Noodle Restaurant. Ni Yang opened the door and wheeled her bicycle out.
“Yangyang.” Mo Qishen softly called out, his voice resonating clearly in the quiet night.
“Hm?” Ni Yang looked up, her bright eyes sparkling in the dark.
“Yangyang, I…I…” Mo Qishen’s palms started to sweat.
The usually articulate Mo Qishen suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
“What is it?” Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly.
“I, I, I…” Mo Qishen found that he wasn’t just at a loss for words, he was also stuttering.
“Brother Mo, don’t be nervous. I won’t bite, what are you afraid of?” Ni Yang chuckled, her dimples showing, as she slowly approached Mo Qishen.
Mo Qishen stepped backward, tension mounting, until he was pressed against a sturdy wall.
This situation was a common scene in the arrogant CEO’s TV dramas.
Ni Yang didn’t expect it to happen to her that day.
And, it was her who had ‘cornered’ Mo Qishen!
Wasn’t Mo Qishen’s reaction too cute?
Looking at his reaction, he wasn’t like a 28-year-old man at all, but rather like an 18-year-old naive boy.
Did she just get herself a treasure?
“Yang…Yangyang….” Mo Qishen suddenly found it hard to meet Ni Yang’s gaze.
He was so nervous, what should he do?
What if he couldn’t breathe?
At this moment, Mo Qishen’s usual calm, self-composed demeanor seemed to have completely vanished.
Ni Yang looked at him with a smile, “Brother Mo, if you have something to say, just say it. Hesitating is not a man’s style.”
Right!
He was a man!
Mo Qishen gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stood his ground. It was time to be brave and take a leap.
“Yangyang, I,” he said, his voice lowering, “like you…”
At that moment, even Ni Yang could hear her own heartbeat. She couldn’t resist teasing him, “Brother Mo, I didn’t hear what you said.”
Mo Qishen was so nervous he didn’t dare say it a second time.
Ni Yang frowned slightly, “Brother Mo, did you just say you hate me?”
“No, no!” Mo Qishen turned white with anxiety, “Yangyang, you heard wrong! How could I hate you?”
“Then what did you say just now?”
He had already said it once, so why couldn’t he say it again?
Worse comes to worst, he could take another hit.
Mo Qishen took a deep breath and loudly said, “Yangyang, I like you! I want you to be my girlfriend!”
After saying this, Mo Qishen watched Ni Yang intently.
He had never been so nervous in his life, his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
If cold stones could be warmed, what about human hearts?
Moreover, Ni Yang’s heart wasn’t made of stone. She was very sure that she also liked Mo Qishen.
Perhaps she had fallen for him at first sight when they met by the river.
Perhaps she was moved by Mo Qishen’s continuous companionship over time.
Plus, Mo Qishen was so handsome…
If they did become a couple, she definitely wouldn’t lose out.
“Brother Mo,” Ni Yang looked up at Mo Qishen, “I think…I kind of like you too.”
For a moment, Mo Qishen thought he was hallucinating, but then he picked Ni Yang up and began turning in circles joyously. If he had wings, he felt he would fly all the way up to the clouds.
“Sweetheart! I really, really like you!”
Ni Yang responded flatly, “Put me down, I just said I kind of like you, how did I become your sweetheart all of a sudden?” This man was really quite shameless!
Mo Qishen held Ni Yang tightly and wouldn’t let go, “The great literature master from Y country, Shakespeare, once said, ‘Dating without the intention of marriage is fooling around!’ So, if you’re not my sweetheart, who’s sweetheart could you be? Are you trying to fool around with me?”
Ni Yang patted his face with her hand, “Could you get a hold of yourself, please! I just said I like you, not that I want to be in a relationship with you. Right now, you’re still being audited, whether you could pass depends on your performance.”
Mo Qishen shamelessly remarked, “Sweetheart, your hand smells so good.”
Ni Yang, “…” She had to stop, he was simply not getting it.
Mo Qishen tightened his hold, then asked, “Sweetheart, so what do I need to do to pass?”
“Depends on your performance.”
Mo Qishen immediately responded, “Sweetheart, don’t worry, I’ll surely perform very well! Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it! If you say go east, I’ll never go west! I’ll go wherever you point! Nothing will stop me, not even climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of flames!”
“Then put me down first.”
Mo Qishen hesitated a bit, but then finally let go.
Ni Yang teasingly raised her eyebrows, “Brother Mo, this isn’t your first time dating, is it?”
Mo Qishen nodded, “It’s the first and also the last. Sweetheart, from now on, all my ‘first times’ will be yours!”
The first time he fell in love at first sight.
The first time he liked someone.
The first time he was so desperate to marry someone and cherish her as his treasure for the rest of his life.
Before meeting Ni Yang, Mo Qishen didn’t even know what it meant to like someone.
