Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 350 Attachment
Ye Qing stroked the scarf and clicked her tongue in amazement: "Tsk tsk tsk, she even knitted a scarf and gloves by hand as a birthday gift. It seems she really likes you. Don't you really want to consider a girl like that?"

"I don't have any plans in that regard for the time being," Ai Liang explained.

He didn't say much, and there wasn't much to say.

Because Ai Liang herself doesn't know how to handle the relationship between Yang Xingyue and Yue Qihua at this stage.

You could call it friendship.

Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue are about to come of age and will no longer be the naive young girls they were when they first entered school.

Yang Xingyue is gradually growing up.

Yue Qihua, on the other hand, was already very mature, both mentally and physically.

After graduating from junior high school, you can treat her as an adult.

No one can guarantee that the three of them will continue to get along like this.

You could call it love.

Ai Liang's feelings for them weren't quite at that level.

Ai Liang's attitude towards Yue Qihua is close to that of a peer or confidant, similar to that of a good buddy.

As for Yang Xingyue, Ai Liang's feelings for her were like those for a girl next door who needed to be taken care of.

Ai Liang has been single for two lifetimes and has no dating experience, making it difficult for her to handle the emotional issues between the three of them.

Personal emotions are very subjective, unlike the knowledge and skills that can be learned in a memory bank.

This cannot be learned from or simulated.

If one's own joys, sorrows, fears, and anxieties are to be answered by looking to the memories of others in the memory bank.

If even one's own thoughts are gone, then what is left of Ai Liang?

Moreover, he hasn't even fully rediscovered his humanity yet.

There's simply no time to think about dating.

Ye Qing looked at Ai Liang with a strange expression: "I don't have that kind of thought... To be honest, sometimes I even suspect you're gay. If people your age looked like you, they could probably have a whole table of girlfriends."

"Why always use general standards to judge individuals? They all do something, so I have to do it too? Why should I be like those people?"

Ai Liang retorted.

Ye Qing said with a smile, "I'm just a little curious why you're unwilling to accept that girl..."

What if you find yourself healed while spending time with her?

Ai Liang said coldly and seriously, "What's the difference between associating with someone without even understanding your own subjective intentions and deception?"

Ye Qing wagged her finger and said, "Hmm...you're so rigid, be a little more tactful."

"A euphemistic way of putting it cannot change the essence of a matter."

"Okay... if the other person knows this and still wants to date, then it shouldn't be considered deception, right?"

Ye Qing questioned from another direction.

“But I don’t want to,” Ai Liang said with a straight face.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ai Liang.

You keep talking about not following the crowd, and you're discussing honesty and deception... After all this talk, it all boils down to you just not wanting to, right?
Ye Qing raised her hand with slight dissatisfaction, wanting to tap Ai Liang on the forehead, but was stopped by the latter.

She sighed and waved her hand helplessly: "Sigh, you haven't changed at all over the years. You still speak in the same rigid way as when you were a kid."

Ai Liang didn't deny it and silently ate her cake.

The two of them were just being very ambiguous.

Now they act as if nothing has happened, chatting and bickering as usual.

This kind of relationship can probably only be seen between Ai Liang and Ye Qing.

One reason is psychological; even if unusual emotions arise, they are immediately suppressed.

The other person will adjust their behavior accordingly to accommodate the other person's attitude.

After giving the gift and finishing the cake on her plate, Ye Qing prepared to head home: "Never mind, I'll go back now. Shana has been pestering me at home all day and didn't leave until the afternoon. She hasn't even cleaned the house properly."

Ai Liang put down his fork and was about to get up when Ye Qing reached out and pressed him back down.

"Hey, I live right next door, don't bother seeing the birthday boy off on such a short walk."

Ai Liang's body was firmly pressed into the chair.

Under such immense force, most people would probably be unable to move at all.

Ai Liang didn't deliberately resist this force and obediently nodded.

Ye Qing was very satisfied: "Yes, that's right. Today is your sixteenth birthday, so you should be a little willful."

Ye Qing let go of Ai Liang's hand and walked towards the door, closing the door behind her before leaving.

Just then, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from outside the door.

After a soft thud, the corridor fell silent.

After Ye Qing left, Ai Liang took out a napkin to wipe her mouth and prepared to tidy up the table.

But when he looked at the half-eaten cake in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and then sat back down.

The lingering heat of summer has not yet dissipated, and the weather remains hot.

The cake was ordered in advance; if it's left until tomorrow, it will probably spoil.

It would be a shame to throw it away.

Ai Liang picked up her knife and fork again, ready to finish the rest of the cake.

………………

Meanwhile, in the house next door, which is separated from Ai Liang by only one wall.

When Ye Qing returned home, the first thing she did was not to change her shoes.

Instead, she covered her face, leaned against the security door, and slowly squatted down, making incomprehensible muffled noises.

Through her fingers, you could see that her face was flushed.

Clearly, she wasn't indifferent to what had just happened; she was just too embarrassed to show it in front of Ai Liang.

Ye Qing savored the feeling of lying in Ai Liang's arms.

Unconsciously, her left hand moved to the top of her head, mimicking Ai Liang's movements, gently stroking the cool, smooth hair that Ai Liang had touched.

But no matter how she tried to imitate it, she couldn't find that feeling again.

It's like omitting a key ingredient when cooking.

The air conditioner was on in Ai Liang's living room, and the air temperature was very low.

At that moment, she felt a warm current coming from the large hand above her head, spreading to her limbs and bones.

Ai Liang's gentle touch accelerated the process, making people involuntarily shed all pretense and try to feel the warmth brought by that large hand.

Yearning for this warmth, Ye Qing drew closer and closer until she finally nestled into Ai Liang's arms and pressed herself against him.

After nestled in Ai Liang's arms, Ye Qing felt as if she were drunk, her head spinning, and a tingling sensation spreading from the point of contact to her entire body.

If she hadn't retained the last shred of rationality, she might have hugged Ai Liang back and acted like a little girl, acting coquettishly towards him.

Ye Qing lowered her hand, hugged her knees, and whispered, "Hmm, I only meant to make a joke... I didn't expect that blockhead A Liang would do something like this. Is this the power of atmosphere that Sister Lan always talks about..."

Based on the circumstances at the time.

If it weren't for the punctual chime in the living room, which brought Ai Liang peace of mind...

It's not impossible for their actions to go further.
