Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 528: Closeness

Nie Yangwei asked, "Are you serious? Are you really not disappointed in me?"

"Of course it's true. I already knew that no matter what the result of this competition is, I will...not be disappointed in you!"

Nie Yangwei was very moved after hearing this and said, "I just know...I know that you treat me the best. That day I told you that I wanted to be with you, and you...you said that you should prepare well for the competition first and then talk about it after the competition is over. Now that the competition is over...do you...do you agree?"

"Aren't we always close? It's been like this for more than just one or two days. I think there's no need to clarify anything." Jian Rou said.

Nie Yangwei asked Jian Rou this question one day before the competition, but Jian Rou did not give him a clear answer. Although she knew that Nie Yangwei liked her and could clearly feel his love for her, because he was good to her, she also had a good impression of him, but she was also very clear about his shortcomings and felt that she might not be able to accept his shortcomings. She also felt that he seemed to be difficult to change, so she did not want to give him a clear answer quickly. However, she was reluctant to give up the feeling of being cared for by him, so when the two were alone, she would appear very close to Nie Yangwei, and she would also habitually say things that he liked to hear. Her unclear attitude and the closeness she showed to him when they were alone made Nie Yangwei fall deeper and deeper.

"But..." Nie Yangwei wanted to say something, but because he was a little drunk, he didn't know how to say it.

"But what's the matter? I drank so much for you for the first time, and then... the wine turned into tears and flowed out... I still did it for you. Brother Yangwei, it's enough for me to be nice to you." Jian Rou said as she held Nie Yangwei's hand.

Nie Yangwei was moved again and hugged Jian Rou. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "We are always so close when we are alone, but not so close in front of... in front of other people, even in front of your brother, right?"

"Yeah, so what?" Jian Rou said.

"I can't explain it, I just feel like... it feels a little weird. Tell me... if your brother sees me hugging you now, will he be scared? If someone else sees it and tells... what will he think?" Nie Yangwei said.

Jian Rou seemed to be reminded by his words, and thought: Although this place is sparsely populated, if someone sees me, I will not be able to keep my position secret. It's like being forced to give an answer, which is so annoying! It seems that I'd better just say nice things to him verbally, and I have to prevent others from seeing something.

Although she was reluctant to let go of the feeling of being held in his arms at this moment, she had already started to think of ways to get out of his arms.

She first answered him: "Why would you be shocked? We haven't done anything shameful. What if someone saw it and told my brother? It's nothing."

Nie Yangwei was very happy to hear this. He felt that Jian Rou's answer might be interpreted as a disguised consent to be with him. At least she was not opposed to others knowing that they were very close when they were alone. He thought that the reason why she didn't give a clear answer before was probably because she was embarrassed to say it directly. So, he, who was originally angry, suddenly smiled and asked, "Are you speaking from your heart?"
