"Although Sister Xiao Tang is indeed very pretty, what I want to express is not that Sister Xiao Tang is pretty, but... I like Sister Xiao Tang."

Su Wenya said this, as if she had completely let go of the heavy weight on her heart. She clenched her fists slightly, mustered up the courage to look directly into Tang Li's eyes.

She was no longer timid, no longer hesitant. In this garden shrouded in moonlight, beside this swimming pool illuminated by moonlight, she spoke to the beautiful girl in front of her who was like the incarnation of moonlight.

"Whether it's the mature and steady Little Sister Tang, the childish Little Sister Tang, or the confused Little Sister Tang, I like them all."

"Sister Xiao Tang, I like you."

"..."

Su Wenya's words were too straightforward, even someone as slow-witted as Tang Li could sense the other person's emotions.

She subconsciously wanted to respond to Su Wenya's words, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

However, Su Wenya didn't seem to want to wait for Tang Li's answer, but continued to talk to herself.

"Sister Xiao Tang, if I were a man, I would definitely pursue you decisively."

"When I think about Sister Tang lying in the arms of some unknown mediocre man in the future, I get jealous."

"I'm wondering, shouldn't Sister Tang, who is such a gentle and lovely girl, be worthy of someone who is better and can treat her better?"

"Like... me."

127. Perhaps this is the price of rebirth

"Sister Xiao Tang, I like you."

The girl's determined eyes under the moonlight deeply shocked Tang Li.

When she was a man, no one had ever confessed their love to her, and even now that she is a woman, she has no awareness of this.

In her opinion, she was still an old stubborn person, with a mild personality and easy-going attitude. Her behavior and way of speaking were all old-fashioned. She had no attractive qualities except her gentleness.

What's more, she doesn't go out often. When she has time, she just sits on the sofa with a cup of wolfberry water and watches the anti-Japanese drama on TV.

She shouldn't be popular among today's young people.

In fact, she had already prepared herself mentally. Although she regained her youth, it turned out that the power of hormones was not strong enough to change her soul, even though she had become accustomed to living as a woman during this period of time and occasionally showed the arrogance of a young girl.

She is still that old man in his fifties, still carefree and still likes women.

It is natural for a man to like women. But now that he has become a woman, if he still likes women, it seems out of tune with the mainstream.

Tang Li is a person who compromises easily with life. Years of struggling in society have smoothed her edges, making it difficult for her to make decisions that go against the mainstream. In addition, her daughters have grown up, so she has no intention of falling in love after her new life.

Being able to watch her children successfully get married and start their own families is already the greatest gift from God to her. Why should she ask for more happiness?

But no matter what decision she had made, it still could not change the fact that now there was a beautiful girl with a good-looking, cheerful personality and prominent wealth confessing to her.

Under the moonlight, in the garden, by the pond, in the calm after playing and frolicking with each other, the girl conveyed an extremely warm emotion, a love that had been suppressed for a long time.

How should she face it?

Tang Li didn't know that even though she had experienced countless hardships in life and faced countless storms in reality, she had no experience in dealing with the love expressed by others. This made her, who had always been mature and steady, fall into a panic.

Why did Wen Ya fall in love with me? How should I respond to her? Should I accept her confession or reject her?

Tang Li's thoughts were in a mess. Su Wenya's gaze was still scorching, making it difficult for her to look directly at him. She subconsciously wanted to turn her head away.

But Su Wenya had already chosen to risk it all, and naturally would not give her a chance to escape. She held Tang Li's delicate hands with both of her own, causing Tang Li, who subconsciously wanted to retreat, to move closer.

She could even feel the amazing elasticity and softness of her chest, and could count Tang Li's thick and long eyelashes.

Only when you look closely will you be amazed at Tang Li's appearance, which is simply a creation of heaven. Her skin is delicate without a single hair, and is so smooth and tender that it seems as if water will come out if you pinch it.

Her facial features were so perfect, without any flaws. In her panic, her eyes were stained with a thin layer of mist, and her thick eyelashes fluttered like a flying butterfly.

The more Su Wenya looked, the more difficult it became for her to control the emotions in her heart.

"Sister Xiao Tang, I know my confession is very abrupt, but I can no longer avoid the feelings in my heart, so please respond to me, no matter what the result is..."

Su Wenya's voice was filled with a faint pleading tone. It was hard to imagine that as the daughter of one of the richest businessmen in Jinling, she would be so humble when facing her feelings.

Perhaps she heard the pleading in Su Wenya's voice, Tang Li stopped her subconscious escape. Her body was still stiff, but she mustered up the courage to look Su Wenya in the face.

I am the elder, I cannot escape...

Tang Li bit her lip subconsciously and forced herself to think about her feelings for Su Wenya.

As the first real friends after their rebirth, they didn't have much in common, but they felt like friends regardless of age.

It was a very pleasant feeling to chat with Su Wenya. Although Su Wenya was the daughter of a wealthy man, she did not have any bad habits of rich people. She was cheerful and generous, and very knowledgeable. She could talk about many topics that are already familiar to contemporary young people.

If I have to find a partner to spend the rest of my life with, Su Wenya would definitely be a perfect candidate.

Pretty, knowledgeable, cheerful, generous, young, rich, and most importantly, a pleasure to get along with.

Tang Li has never been in love, but that doesn't mean she is heartless.

It's just the opposite. She has always longed for sweet love and hopes to find someone to accompany her for the rest of her life.

She was once restricted by life and children, but now she has been reborn, and the girl who confessed to her is an outstanding girl. What reason does she have to refuse?

There is no more perfect choice than Wen Ya, so why not just agree to it?

Tang Li persuaded herself to accept Su Wenya's love in her heart, but when the words of agreement came to her lips, she couldn't help but think -

Wen Ya is a very good kid, but...

But what, Tang Li didn't confirm.

Because when the word "but" popped up in her mind, her body suddenly relaxed and her thoughts became clear instantly.

No matter how many benefits there are, no matter how many reasons there are, how can they compare to the word "but"?

Tang Li returned to being the mature and steady Tang Li again. She smiled gently and raised her hand to rub Su Wenya's head.

"Wen Ya, you are a very good child, so when I heard you say you like me, I was actually quite happy."

"I think... you must have thought about this matter seriously for a long time and tried very hard to muster up the courage to do it."

"But I'm sorry, Sister Tang can't respond to your feelings."

"It's not because I think there's anything wrong with girls liking girls."

"I just think that you may have misunderstood the boundary between friendship and love, and you think that the kindness of friends is too important."

"When you step into society, meet more people, and see a wider world, you may find that my gentleness may not be worth your investment of so much emotion."

"Of course I'm not rejecting you."

"What I mean is... when you come into contact with more people of all kinds in the future, you might find Sister Tang to be quite ordinary."

"So...sorry..."

Tang Li felt like she was talking nonsense, but she really didn't know what to say to Su Wenya so that she wouldn't be sad.

In her opinion, she is still a middle-aged man with three burdens, and this is a secret that cannot be told to outsiders.

If she agreed to Su Wenya's confession, it would mean deception.

This is unfair to Su Wenya.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of the three sisters of the Tang family or from her own perspective, she must reject Su Wenya's feelings.

Thinking of this, Tang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If I think this way, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can meet the requirements to be her partner.

Perhaps lifelong loneliness is the price she pays for her new life.

Well, she is lucky enough now, so what right does she have to ask for more happiness?

Wisdom teeth have grown!!! It hurts so much that Xia Hua can’t even eat. I went to the dentist today and it hurt so much when I had my teeth cleaned that I almost cried.

So there will be another chapter later!

Six thousand tomorrow!

128. Are you kidding? How can I get sick so easily?

Silence is the best adjective between the two. Tang Li stood there at a loss. This was the first time in decades that someone confessed to her, and also the first time that she rejected someone's confession, and the person was a friend she considered a good friend.

I seem to have heard Coco say before that the feelings of young people are like running water, which either stays in a pit until it dries up, or flows without stopping in the river. So even if you still love someone, you should never confess unless you are determined to lose everything.

Because no matter whether the confession is successful or not, the two will never have the chance to live in harmony again.

Although she didn't know where Coco, who had just entered junior high school at that time, got this experience, Tang Li felt that it made a lot of sense.

After everyone confessed their inner feelings, their feelings towards each other changed, and when they met again, they could no longer treat each other with the same attitude as when they first met as friends.

Therefore, rather than being awkward or even disgusted with each other when meeting, it is better not to meet at all.

But having said this, Tang Li didn't want to lose Su Wenya as a friend.

When she was still a man, she didn't have many close friends, and the few she had are now far away and it is difficult for them to see each other again.

After her rebirth, her identity changed and she could no longer get along with others in the same way as before. Before she got used to her new identity, every friend seemed invaluable.

Just when Tang Li was feeling nervous, Su Wenya, who was silent on the opposite side, suddenly smiled generously.

She looked at Tang Li helplessly and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that my first love in my life would end before it even began. Maybe I should learn from my brother and read that passage from the Bible."

Su Wenya's words reminded Tang Li of the time when she and Qianqian went out shopping and met Su Wenya's brother Su Hongxuan. The other party walked up to her and pulled her watch with a silly look. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly but politely.

But before she could speak, Su Wenya spoke again.

"But with Tang Youyou here, you probably won't be interested in it."

"Actually, I think Sister Tang's behavior is quite annoying."

"Eh?"

Tang Li was frightened by Su Wenya's sudden dislike.

Even if the confession fails, at most we will go our separate ways, there's no point in us hating each other, right?

"Why...why do you hate it?" she asked sadly.

"Because... Sister Tang is so gentle." Su Wenya walked by the swimming pool with her hands behind her back, as if muttering to herself.

"You were clearly rejecting my confession, but you went to so much trouble to say so much nonsense, as if you were afraid of hurting my feelings."

"In fact, there is no need to waste so much time on it. It is your privilege."

She carried Tang Li on her back with a lonely look on her face, but the moment she turned around, the loneliness disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a sunny smile.

"It doesn't matter! Although the confession failed, I still want to be Xiao Tang's sister--"

Su Wenya, who was concentrating all her attention on diverting her emotions, did not notice that she already had one foot halfway on the edge of the pool. The moment she turned around, the foot that was already in the air stepped directly into the water. She was caught off guard and only had time to let out a scream before she fell into the swimming pool.

The water in the hotel swimming pool was not deep, only about 1.5 meters at most. With Su Wenya's height of nearly 1.7 meters, there would be no problem as long as she stood up straight.

Human senses can actually deceive the brain when caught off guard. Even though Su Wenya could stand up and stick her head out of the water, she could swim, but the moment she suddenly stepped on empty air, she lost her sense of direction and could only wave her limbs around in the water, trying to grab any possible life-saving straw.

"Gurgle gurgle...help...wuuuu..."

Seeing that Su Wenya couldn't adjust her direction and swim out of the water, and even had the sign of falling headfirst, Tang Li didn't care about the burns and shouldn't touch the water. She jumped into the water and prepared to rescue Su Wenya.

However, in her panic, she forgot that she was just a weak girl, and that a drowning person has no rationality at all and will just grab anything he can.

So the moment she entered the water, Su Wenya hugged her tightly in her arms.

An idea suddenly popped up in Tang Li's mind -

Did those people who were sunk into Tokyo Bay on TV feel the same way?

She had no time to think about it. She was not a strawberry soldier, and she didn't want to commit suicide together with Su Wenya in a pool that was less than one and a half meters deep. If the news got out, she would be laughed at in the underworld!

"Wen Ya, calm down!"

As she spoke, seeing that Su Wenya didn't react at all, she bit Su Wenya's shoulder fiercely.

The intense pain in her shoulder overwhelmed the fear of drowning, and Su Wenya's hands finally loosened a little. Tang Li then seized the opportunity to break free from her arms.

She swam behind Su Wenya, dodged Su Wenya's still waving arms with her hands, restrained Su Wenya in a posture that was difficult to resist or hug, and then pulled her to the edge of the swimming pool.
