Chapter 1280: I Like…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Jiang Yue, I…” Xue Yan hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth. He seemed to want to say something, but he could only open his mouth to say three words before he could not say it out loud.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yue turned around and looked at him.
“No, I’m fine.” But Xue Yan immediately averted his eyes, a little flustered.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t muster up the courage to say it, but he was afraid that her feelings were different from his. If he said it, if she really had a different heart from him, then even if she wasn’t embarrassed, he would be embarrassed in the future. How could they still get along as usual? Many things would definitely change.
If that was the case, he might as well not say that he liked her from the start.
Yes.
He actually liked Jiang Yue from the start.
It had been so many years, and the two of them were always together. Jiang Yue was so good to him, and it was Jiang Yue who accompanied him and guided him, helping him walk out of the shadow of his previous life.
He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he didn’t have Jiang Yue in his life. He reckoned that even if he could make sure that everything in his family was fine, he would still be immersed in the pain of his previous life, unable to extricate himself, as if he couldn’t get salvation.
He didn’t think so much about it when he was young, but he and Jiang Yue were all grown up now.
He knew very well who he liked — it was Jiang Yue.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so nervous every time he saw Jiang Yue and always worried about his gains and losses.
Jiang Yue was too calm. All these years, her emotions did not fluctuate much. Moreover, she was not only good to him, but also to the rest of the family. He could not be sure if Jiang Yue treated him differently or if she liked him…
What if in Jiang Yue’s eyes, he was no different from the rest of the family and was merely her family?
That was why he was always worried about whether he should confess or not.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Jiang Yue seemed to believe that he was fine. She didn’t continue to ask anything. This was what he wanted and he was afraid that she would press him. However, if this was really the case, he felt a little depressed that she didn’t ask further either.
The sense of loss also became heavier.
He didn’t like anyone in his previous life. At this moment, he really didn’t know how to deal with this.
Hence, Xue Yan did not say anything else either.
When they were almost out of town and there were no more people on the road, they rode back home.
When they got home, they bumped into Sifu who was about to return to town. Sifu saw them and immediately smiled. “You’re back just in time. Wufu just sent someone to send birthday gifts back. They’re on the table in the main room. Xue Yan, don’t forget to take them. It’s rare that Wufu remembers everyone’s birthday considering how crazy it is in camp.”
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded.
After sending the horses to the stable, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan entered the house.
Xue Yan opened the present that Xue Wufu had given him on the table in the main room. It was a painting that Wufu had personally drawn. In truth, Wufu was not good at drawing at all. Every time he drew, it was like he was drawing a ghost. This painting was the same, but he was still the same as usual. He knew what Wufu had drawn him with a single glance. There were many little people on it, and every single person in the family was on it. He and Jiang Yue were still drawn holding hands, and Xue Yan’s ears instantly turned hot.
Ever since Jiang Yue turned six years old, they never held hands again… Even so, Wufu still drew like this…
Seeing Jiang Yue subconsciously glance at the painting in his hand, Xue Yan’s ears grew even hotter. It was as if his ears were burning.
