Chapter 45 - 45 I Like You
45 I Like You
“Ah Yao has caused so much trouble. How can I wait?”
When Fang Yuan saw Fang Ming appear, his emotions calmed down a little. However, when he saw his rebellious younger son, he was still worried.
Fang Yao looked at his brother with a gloomy expression. He gritted his teeth and questioned him, “Brother, what did you say to Mom and Dad?”
Fang Ming smiled awkwardly. If he had really said anything, it would have been fine. It was precisely because he had not said anything that Fang Yuan misunderstood so thoroughly.
“I really didn’t say anything.” Fang Ming noticed Yuan Xiao’s gaze on the hospital bed and could not help but feel a little guilty. He persuaded Fang Yuan and Wei Lan, “Dad, Mom, come with me to the office first. There’s a misunderstanding. Student Yuan Xiao only injured her forehead. It’s nothing serious.”
Fang Yuan and Wei Lan could not figure out the situation, but when they heard that the girl on the bed was fine, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
They followed Fang Ming out of the ward, leaving Fang Yao standing by Yuan Xiao’s bed.
“Do you want to go check on Uncle and Auntie?”
Yuan Xiao looked at the silent Fang Yao and was a little worried about his relationship with his parents.
“With my brother around, it’s not my place to speak.” Fang Yao was a little angry. Since he was young, his parents had only trusted his brother. No one cared about his thoughts.
“Don’t say that. I think your brother and your parents actually care a lot about you.” Yuan Xiao noticed that Fang Yao was a little awkward and persuaded, “You seem to be very close to your family. Actually, I’m quite envious of you.”
Fang Yao wanted to retort, but when he thought of Yuan Xiao’s unique experience, he did not say anything. He only shook his head gloomily and muttered softly, “My brother has been exceptionally outstanding since he was young. My parents have placed all their hopes on him, so they don’t care about me at all.”
Yuan Xiao thought of Fang Yao’s past actions and suddenly realized that Fang Yao was like a rebellious child who deliberately caused trouble. In order to attract his parents’ attention, he deliberately did something out of line.
His parents’ indulgence did not make Fang Yao happy. He felt more and more that his parents did not care about him, and his personality became more and more eccentric.
“So you fight and cause trouble just so that your parents can notice you. I didn’t expect you to be so innocent and cute,” Yuan Xiao said with a smile, not noticing that Fang Yao’s face was getting redder and redder.
“That’s not true! This is a separate matter. I fought because some people deliberately caused trouble. It has nothing to do with them!” Although Fang Yao refuted Yuan Xiao verbally, his thoughts were all on her words just now.
Did Yuan Xiao really think that he was cute? Did that mean that Yuan Xiao also liked him a little?
The more Fang Yao thought about it, the more excited he became. The way he looked at Yuan Xiao became more probing.
“Yuan Xiao, you didn’t answer me just now.” Fang Yao was a little nervous, but he looked at Yuan Xiao with a burning gaze.
He stared intently at Yuan Xiao’s lips, anticipating her reply.
“Ah Yao, I’ve explained to Dad and Mom for you. They’re home now, you…”
Fang Ming had just pushed open the door when he saw his younger brother’s murderous expression.
“You guys chat. I’ll go out first.” Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Fang Ming closed the door that he had yet to open and walked back to the office with a smile.
Fang Yao’s face darkened. Afraid of being interrupted again, he asked Yuan Xiao loudly, “I like you. Do you want to be with me?”
Yuan Xiao looked at the serious expression of the youth in front of her and felt a little worried.
Although Fang Yao had a bad reputation, he was actually a good child who could distinguish between gratitude and grudges. He was handsome and treated her very well. Yuan Xiao could not think of a suitable reason to reject him.
However, in Yuan Xiao’s heart, Fang Yao was just a child who had yet to grow up. In her previous life, she had already lived until she was in her twenties. She really could not bring herself to get together with a younger, 18 year old boy.
“I’m not into young love.”
After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, the entire ward fell silent.
Just as she was about to say something, Yuan Xiao heard the young man chuckle.
“Am I being rejected?” Although Fang Yao was smiling, his eyes were sad.
“I’m not trying to reject you.” Yuan Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. When she saw Fang Yao, who was completely different from his usual self, she had an indescribable feeling. “I just really don’t plan to fall in love in high school.”
Yuan Xiao’s words had some effect on Fang Yao. His dark eyes lit up again.
“You really don’t want to be in a relationship so young?”
Yuan Xiao nodded affirmatively. There were still more than two years of high school life left. Yuan Xiao did not want to waste it so easily.
“You’re about to be in your third year of high school. You should focus on your studies.”
Yuan Xiao’s words left Fang Yao in a daze. His parents had never worried about his studies.
