Chapter 1521: I Like You

Lu Tingshen gazed at her, “What reason do you want?”

“Not really. I’m just asking, I’m curious, how did you suddenly realize you like me?” Chengying rested her chin on her hand, “How could it be so sudden? We haven’t even met recently?”

Her gaze was serious, as if she were tackling a test question.

“Little Crystal, maybe liking someone happens in a moment, or it evolves from a long-standing habit, influenced by many factors. As for my feelings for you, I don’t know when it started. You’re still young, I’m willing to give you time.”

When Lu Tingshen said these words, he felt a weight lift off him.

He had been repressing this feeling these days, with a heavy heart.

It was only today, after seeing Little Crystal having dinner with another man, talking and laughing, that he realized he couldn’t bear to see it.

He only wanted her smiles to bloom for him.

“Alright, give me three days!” Chengying decided to take three days to think it over.

“Haha…” Lu Tingshen was amused by her, “Little Crystal, hearing my confession, you weren’t surprised, nor did you accept. It proves that you maybe like me, but it’s only akin to how you might feel about a brother. Three days won’t change anything, and I can’t expect you to fall in love with me within three days.”

“What you said sounds profound. But you’re right. However, when I say I need to think, it doesn’t mean I’ve already fallen for you. I just want to reflect on it. I actually quite like the idea of living with you.”

Chengying’s eyes sparkled, “Uncle, maybe it doesn’t need three days. I just calmly thought about it, and if my future entangles with yours, I’m very willing. Plus, I think I do like you. It’s not that I didn’t feel surprised, actually I did feel delighted.”

Chengying didn’t want to lie, “But I don’t know to what extent I like you. So you’re wrong. I just didn’t show it.”

Chengying didn’t like lying, nor did she want others to misunderstand her feelings.

“You’re attractive, and whatever you say is right.” Lu Tingshen patted her head, “Alright, I’ll give you time to think it through. It’s late, you should rest early, I’m heading back.”

“Why not stay here tonight? Head back tomorrow?” Chengying checked the time; it was really late.

It was already two o’clock.

“It’s okay, I came over so suddenly. The car is still parked outside! Go to sleep, it really wasn’t appropriate to wake you at this hour.” Lu Tingshen felt a twinge of remorse after confessing.

Little Crystal was still in her pajamas, her hair was loose and a bit messy.

Clearly she had just gotten up from bed.

“It’s alright! Since you plan to leave, be careful.” Chengying didn’t insist on him staying.

“Bye bye, goodnight!” Lu Tingshen said softly.

“Goodnight!”

After confessing, Lu Tingshen truly didn’t know what to do.

He seemed to have heard from others that if someone doesn’t immediately agree after a confession, you should continue pursuing them.

Like sending little gifts.

And there should be all kinds of surprises.

Lu Tingshen earnestly searched online, and the answers were diverse.

Some even suggested that if the person doesn’t accept, just move on to find someone else.

Because of this, Lu Tingshen was uncertain about what to say to Chengying post-confession.

He worried that saying nothing might lead to misunderstandings that he was backing off.
