Chapter 378 - Its Not You, Its Me
After laughing in delight for a long while, Wu Wang came back to sit beside her and rubbed her head like a pet making her puff her cheeks in annoyance. He was certainly amused to see her grumpy look. He wanted to be serious, he did but this woman... Haiz! She really brought out his childish side every time. Wu Wang felt like it was her skill.
"Okay, stop brooding now. I really have something to talk to you."
Yang Ziyi cautiously turned her face towards him but didn’t stop glaring at him and also, didn’t say a word. But Wu Wang could understand that she was silently agreeing to give him a chance to finally talk.
"I really think something is wrong between us." Wu Wang’s voice shifted Yang Ziyi’s glare into a slight confusion while her heartbeat disturbed again.
"What’s wrong?" She asked softly.
"It’s not you... It’s me. You are an amazing person. Blunt, dumb and a bit annoying but still a very sincere and honest person." At first, she was stuck with his ’it’s not you, it’s me’ sentence, after all, it was how typical breakups happened. Right? But later, more than feeling the effect of his compliments, she felt the burn of his not-so-kind-remarks. "Haiz! I really think I’ve lost my mind but I have to say it. I can’t even believe myself." He continued gloomily.
Yang Ziyi clenched her fists tightly and willed herself to stay strong. She couldn’t give him the satisfaction of breaking her into tears. Never! This playboy can dream on!
"You can go on..." Yang Ziyi managed to say while she saw Wu Wang looking at her with a strange expression.
Wu Wang shifted a bit and held her hands in his own but Yang Ziyi felt that his grip was a bit strong as if he was restraining her.
With a long and deep breath, he said, "I think I’m falling in love with you." It took a while for Yang Ziyi to comprehend his meaning, her eyes widened dramatically before narrowing into slits as she glared at him and gritted out,
"Why did you say you have lost your mind?"
"Because I told you, only an idiot could fall in love with you. Who would have thought I’d be that idiot in the end. Fate sure plays with us." His saddened tone made Yang Ziyi tremble in anger as she tried to hit him but only realized that he had taken precautions when he held her hands in his own. "Hey, just because I call you a wild cat doesn’t mean you always have to act like one as well."
"Huh! And just because I call you Sherlock doesn’t mean you have to say everything mysteriously with riddles. Do you have to play with emotions like this?" Yang Ziyi snapped back.
"I wasn’t intending to do it but your reaction..." His words were left hanging since he was having difficulty controlling his laughter. "By the way, my blockhead doctor, can you focus on the main point here?"
"What’s the main point here?"
"Seriously?" He flicked her forehead and added, "You were supposed to focus on the fact that I just confessed that I love you. But no... Your mind is always wandering off to bicker with me for no reason!"
Yang Ziyi froze for a second as she heard the clear confession this time. Her mind felt like fireworks exploded and everything was colorful in the world. How weird!
Scratching her head like a fool, she stubbornly said, "Hmph! You chose a public park for such a confession. How unromantic!"
"Aiyo! My dear doctor, look behind." Saying that he turned her face to look behind and the sight immediately stunned her.
Behind them was a small lake where the moonlight was shining beautifully in all its glory while hundreds of candles floated on it leisurely. But what it made more beautiful was the lanterns that slowly floated up in the air and littered the dark sky. Several people stopped to look at that scene in awe.
Yang Ziyi felt Wu Wang’s presence behind her as his lips brushed past her ears and he said, "You told me you have stopped going to parks after your brother died. So, I wanted this to happen here. Well, I do have a long and elaborate speech for you but I suddenly think such deep words won’t register in your slow-witted mind."
Her sharp elbow hit his stomach and he grunted while saying, "See, you are a wild girl. This wild confession suits you best."
Yang Ziyi actually didn’t mind anything he said. She only felt bliss and a stinging sensation in eyes. She never would have thought that the person she despised for years would actually fill her life with light and love. She didn’t know what to say at all. So, she turned around and hugged him tightly as if she was afraid he would vanish anytime.
