"I just want to confirm this matter." Hailing's answer was the same as before.

"What... do you need me to confirm?"

Suddenly, Aine froze, her eyes shifting downwards. Was she trying to judge who was bigger, hers or mine? But… I also have weight…

But when Aine's gaze moved forward, the confidence that had just risen disappeared again. Well, I'm only in high school, I will definitely still grow.

Just as Aiyin was lost in thought, Hailing gently let go of Aiyin, and a slight blush appeared on her originally fair face.

Hailing could clearly feel that her heart was beating faster and stronger than before.

I really seem to have fallen in love with this sunny and lovely girl, but why? Why did I fall in love with her?

The time we spent together was normal and the topics we talked about were not ordinary, so why did I fall in love with her?

I do not understand.

"What's wrong, Umirin?" Aine noticed the blush on Hailing's face and asked softly, "Are you hot?"

Aine looked up, but it was almost winter, how could it be hot? If not hot, then what could it be? If it was Sakki and the others, they must have bad intentions... But what about Umirin?

Seeing Aiyin's puzzled look, Hailing reached out and gently touched Aiyin's face: "I think I like you."

"..."

"?"

"!"

Aiyin looked at Hailing in surprise. She wasn't sure what she had just heard. She reached out to scratch her ear, ignoring Hailing's hand on her face. Aiyin asked, "Umirin...what did you just say?"

Did Umirin just say "She likes me"? She would say that? Huh? This is scarier than knowing Rikki likes me. Why would Umirin like me? We're... just good friends, right?

why?

We haven't ever been anything more than friendly, right? We haven't even talked about anything personal. Why would she just say she likes me? I don't understand.

Hailing naturally noticed Aiyin's reaction. She put one arm around Aiyin's waist and exerted a little force to make Aiyin close to her. At the same time, she pressed her body forward and gently stroked Aiyin's face with one hand: "Yes, I'm sure, I like you."

Chapter 397 Do You Hate Me?

Feeling Hailing's increasing strength, Aiyin seemed unable to bear her love. She reached out and suddenly pushed Hailing away, breaking free from her arms.

Hailing took two steps back and looked at Aine's blushing face calmly. She opened her mouth slightly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Aine.

"Wait, umirin, why?"

"What?" Hai Ling frowned slightly, and she met Ain's eyes, but the moment their eyes met, Ain looked away as if she had been electrocuted.

Hearing Hailing's confusion, Aiyin stammered to explain, "But...we're just friends, right?"

"Is that right?" Hailing tilted her head and took a step forward.

Seeing this, Aiyin took a step back. For some reason, Aiyin knew that she had done nothing wrong, but when she saw Hailing's expression, she felt inexplicably guilty.

Seeing Hailing take another step towards her, Aine quickly said, "Wait, Umirin!"

Hailing paused: "What's wrong?"

"I... I haven't said anything provocative to you, right?" As Aiyin finished speaking, the figures of Riki and Sushi appeared in her mind.

"Yes." Hailing nodded, "You didn't say that."

"Then... then why did you suddenly confess to me?" Aine didn't understand, she really didn't understand.

"Because you understand me." Hailing spoke softly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she looked at Aiyin gently.

"Huh?" Aine was confused. "I understand you? What does that mean? If you mean by understanding what you mean... Chuhua can do it too, right? Why does it have to be me?"

Hailing shook her head. She quickly walked forward and hugged Aiyin. Hailing's movements were very gentle, as if she was treating a fragile work of art.

Aiyin raised her hand, trying to push Hailing away, but Hailing put her mouth close to her ear and whispered softly, "Ain, let me hold you for a while."

Hailing's words seemed to have a kind of magic. Aine's raised hand suddenly stopped in the air, and her arms slowly drooped as if losing strength. Her body trembled, and she let Hailing hold her in her arms.

“Umirin…you, you have to give me a reasonable explanation…otherwise…” Aiyin’s face turned red as if blood could drip out, and she muttered softly, “You are just being a hooligan…”

"When you were still in the hospital, Ruomai asked me if I liked you." Hailing said, "I didn't have such feelings for you at that time. I was only interested in you because I was giving advice to Lixi."

"That so-called interest is curiosity about you and other girls."

Aiyin nodded slightly. She also knew about this. Of course, she was referring to the fact that Hailing was interested in her affairs.

"After getting to know you, I felt that you were a very good girl. Although you were very smart, it was not difficult to get along with you. I felt very good."

Hailing exerted a little force in her arms and hugged Ain tightly. She controlled the strength very well. Although she hugged her tightly, Ain did not feel any discomfort.

“Is that so…” Aine turned her face away, “Am I as good as you say?”

Hailing didn't choose to answer Aiyin's question, but continued, "After you gave me that lavender specimen and blessed me, to be honest, I was very touched at the time, because almost no one has ever treated me like that."

Hailing lowered her head, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and fell accurately into Aine's eyes.

"Aine, I'm so grateful to you."

“Nothing.” Aine shook her head slightly.

"After that, whenever I looked at that lavender specimen, I always thought of you," Hailing bit her lower lip. "If I had only noticed you before, then the moment you gave me the lavender specimen, my heart was with you."

“Eh?” Aine lowered her head in panic. The sudden sweet talk caught her off guard. “Umirin…don’t say that. I…I gave you the lavender specimen because I was worried something might happen during the surgery. So…I just wanted to keep a proof that you and I were once friends.”

Hailing nodded and pushed Ain to the wall. She grabbed Ain's wrists with one hand and placed them on top of her head. She supported herself on the wall with the other hand and leaned forward. She lowered her head slightly and touched Ain's nose with her nose. A warm breath gently blew onto Ain's face, and an itchy feeling spread across her face.

Hailing's sudden action scared Aiyin. Her brain froze and her eyes were fixed on Hailing's face. Her face turned even redder and she let Hailing do whatever she wanted.

Hailing raised her head slightly and nodded: "You are right, this is the proof that we were once friends."

Aiyin blinked blankly. She didn't understand why Hailing suddenly said this. Her head seemed to be stuck and she couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence no matter how hard she tried.

"So...it makes sense that they're a couple now, right?"

As she spoke, Hailing's lips curled up into a smile. She lowered her head again, and her mouth was very close to Aine's thin lips.

Hailing could even feel Aine's rapid breathing brushing against her lips.

"Umirin... I, I..." Ain responded in a panic. Her heartbeat had already been disordered when Hailing hugged her. Because the two were too close, Ain felt that her mouth seemed to touch Hailing when she spoke just now.

The sunlight shone on Aiyin's face, and her pink hair swayed gently with her movements. The fragrance of her hair lingered faintly at Hailing's nose.

Looking at Aiyin who had stopped talking abruptly, Hailing smiled and shook her head: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Ain opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word, Hailing pulled her other hand back from the wall, put her arm around Ain's waist, and leaned over to kiss her directly on her thin lips.

Aine's lips were softer than Hailing had imagined, and had a faint sweet taste of strawberries.

At first, Aine was stiff as a log, but as Hailing sucked gently on her lower lip, she gradually relaxed and even responded unconsciously.

When Hailing let her go, Aiyin collapsed in Hailing's arms, her eyes full of panic and helplessness: "I... Umirin, you... you really kissed me?"

"You responded." Hailing's voice was very light, as if she was talking about something insignificant, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her mood at the moment.

"It's not...this..."

“Shh.” Hailing pressed her thumb against Aine’s lips. “So, do you hate this kiss?”

“I…” Aine’s eyes wandered, and finally, she shook her head.

"Then you hate me?"

“…No.” Aine shook her head slightly.

"That's enough." Hailing smiled slightly and lowered her head again. This time, Aiyin didn't resist at all and even closed her eyes when Hailing approached.

The figures of the two girls merged into one in the light, and the scent of lavender mixed with the smell of sunshine lingered in this small park.

Chapter 398 The So-called Strength

When their lips parted, Aine's legs were so weak that she could barely stand. She subconsciously grabbed Hailing's black jacket, resting her forehead on her shoulder, breathing heavily.

Hailing's lips were softer than she had imagined, but the way she kissed her was so forceful that it was frightening - it was not a question, but a declaration.

Hailing looked at Aiyin with great interest. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she whispered in Aiyin's ear, "It's not your first time kissing, why are you still so stiff?"

Hearing Hailing's teasing words, Aiyin's cheeks felt hot as if they were burning, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "You..."

Aine turned her face away and argued, "I...I was just giving in to you for a moment."

There was a hint of tenderness in Hailing's eyes. Her hand was still around Aine's waist, and the other hand gently climbed up Aine's back, as if comforting a small animal. "Really? Then don't let me next time."

Hearing this, Aiyin turned around in embarrassment and met Hai Ling's deep and unfathomable eyes. For a moment, her heartbeat became disordered again: "Humph, I definitely won't do that again."

Hailing's lips curled up in an almost invisible arc. She raised her hand to tuck a strand of pink hair from Aiyin's cheek behind her ear, and her fingertips lightly brushed against the burning tip of her ear. "Then you are my girlfriend now."

"I... I haven't agreed yet." Aiyin protested softly, but found herself still leaning in Hailing's arms. This scene made her body stiffen, but strangely she didn't break free immediately.

Hailing had a unique scent, mixed with the fragrance of lavender, which was inexplicably soothing.

Hailing did not refute Aine's words, but simply tightened her arms around Aine's waist.

Aine could clearly feel Hailing's heartbeat was much faster than before. This discovery made Aine inexplicably happy. It turned out that this girl who usually had a stern face could also be nervous.

"Umirin, your heart is beating so fast." Aine said it out of nowhere, but she regretted it the next moment.

Hailing was silent for a moment, and then did something that made Aine completely freeze - she lowered her head and put her ear against Aine's chest. Her black hair fell like a waterfall, brushing across Aine's exposed neck, causing a small shudder.

"So is yours."

Although Aiyin had seen the strength of Xiangzi and Su Shi, they at least had their weak periods. She looked into Hailing's eyes, but the black-haired girl in front of her didn't seem to be weak in this kind of thing.

"Have you seen enough?" Hailing blinked and looked at Aiyin quietly.

Seeing that she was being pointed out, Aine turned her face away: "I've seen... enough."

"Is that so?" Hailing gently hooked Aiyin's chin, forcing her to look at her, "I haven't seen enough."

……

The next afternoon, at RiNG's coffee shop.

Aine sat quietly in her seat. She gently pinched the spoon and slowly stirred the hot Earl Grey tea in front of her. Her eyes fell on the table in front of her, as if she was thinking about something.

The next moment, her face turned slightly red and she quickly covered her face.

Su Shi, who was standing next to her, noticed Aine's condition early on. She reached out and gently poked Aine's arm.

“Ah!” Aine shuddered as if she had received an electric shock. She turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Soyo. “Soyorin, you scared me.”

"Aine-chan, what's wrong with you? You've been distracted since just now." Su Shi gently held Aine's hand and stroked it carefully. "Are you feeling unwell? If you are, tell us."

"Indeed." Deng nodded, a smile on her lips, "Me, Suyo, and Riki are all here. Aine-chan will be fine."

Aine nodded and took a deep breath, "Umirin confessed to me."

"..."

Silence enveloped the coffee shop. Su Shi blinked in confusion, "Umirin? You mean...Haeling?"

"Correct."

Seeing Aine nod, Sushi was filled with confusion. Why? Why would Hailing confess her feelings to Aine? Are they familiar with each other?

Thinking of Hailing's cold look, Su Shi felt incredible. At this moment, her heart actually questioned the authenticity of Aiyin's words.

Although she didn't want to do this, Su Shi still couldn't imagine the scene of Hai Ling confessing her love to Ai Yin.

"Hailing..." Deng was stunned. In her impression, Hailing had never spoken a few words to Aine, but now she suddenly confessed her feelings.

"No way!?" Li Xi was the one who reacted the most. She stood up and stared at Ain blankly. "Ain, you said Hailing confessed to you? Is that true? You...you are lying to me, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xi looked at Aine's calm face and couldn't help but sigh. His reaction was so strong because he just didn't believe it, but looking at Aine's expression, it was already a fait accompli: "So... do you accept it?"

Seeing Aine nod, Li Xi felt like his home had been stolen.

"Ain, Hailing...why did she suddenly confess to you?" Li Xi walked up to Aiyin, his tone anxious, "She clearly said she didn't like you...but this..."

After repeating everything Hailing said at that time to the three of them, they fell into a brief silence.

Sushi looked at Aine, her hand slowly climbing up Aine's forearm: "Aine-chan, now that you mention it... it seems like it's only difficult for me to pursue you, right?"

“Eh?” Aine smelled the jealousy emanating from Suye and she held Suye’s hand, “Soyorin… It’s just that I hadn’t experienced this kind of thing at the time… I’m sorry.”

"I don't care, come to my house today."

“Eh!?” Aiyin was stunned. After seeing Su Shi’s eyes, she lowered her head silently, “Okay…”

"I still don't understand." Li Xi's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Hearing this, Deng turned his head and looked at Li Xi: "Li Xi, aren't you and Hai Ling good friends?"
