Chapter 2840 Interrupted

"He really loves me! I believe..." He Yue said slowly, "He told me himself."

"Really? He Yue, are you sure that’s not just the thrill of youth?"

He Yue understood what Jiang Wanwan meant: she was saying that boys at this age naturally want to fall in love, that it’s just hormones at work, and the person they like doesn’t have to be her.

"I’m sure." Even if she wasn’t sure, He Yue couldn’t just admit it like that.

.........

The night wind was cool.

The streetlights were dazzling, the traffic flowing endlessly.

Ning Chenguang rode his bike into the autumn wind with He Yue on the back, pedaling forward. All the way, He Yue was in a bad mood, worrying that her little big brother might get snatched away halfway.

Jiang Wanwan was different from Zhan Xiche.

She had a face that looked pure and harmless, always giving off a quiet, fragile impression.

She showed her liking for Ning Chenguang in every way, putting her feelings out in the open. But she also acted as if she wouldn’t fight or grab; no matter what kind of attitude Ning Chenguang showed her in the future, she would greet him with a smile and keep treating him well.

Thinking of this made He Yue’s head hurt.

Her coursework was intense now; she really couldn’t spare much time to pay attention to these things.

But Jiang Wanwan was different...

"My head hurts!" He Yue rubbed her temples irritably, muttering under her breath.

They got off the bike and entered the military compound.

Ning Chenguang walked back with her, shoulder to shoulder, occasionally asking her questions about her studies.

He Yue answered absent-mindedly.

The closer they walked, the nearer they got to home; seeing they were almost at the door, she finally stopped, tilted her head up to look at Ning Chenguang and asked, "Chenguang, do you really like me?"

The way she addressed him had changed.

Ning Chenguang noticed. Tonight he had corrected her more than once, but she stubbornly insisted on calling him by his name.

"You really can’t feel it yourself?" he asked, gazing at He Yue.

"I can. I want you to say it to me yourself."

"I like you." Ning Chenguang was utterly straightforward; since she wanted to hear it, he’d say it. He knew that with Jiang Wanwan showing up tonight, she was upset again.

This little girl had been possessive since she was young, and she loved to get jealous.

But he didn’t mind.

He knew that meant He Yue liked him! Otherwise, why didn’t she treat anyone else this way?

"Then kiss me..." She rose onto her tiptoes, closed her eyes, and leaned toward him.

Those full, moist, temptingly luscious lips were right in front of his eyes. Ning Chenguang could feel his adrenaline surging, hormones flooding; he really had the urge to pull her into his arms and kiss her hard.

He lowered his head, leaning in, just about to kiss her. A sudden shrill ringtone cut off his movement.

An Hao’s reminder flashed through his mind: Yueyue has finally settled down this past month and started studying seriously. Don’t go teasing her again; keep some distance and help her stay motivated.

Ning Chenguang forcibly pushed down the amorous thought that had just risen. He took out his phone from his pocket, saw the name flashing on the screen, and answered, "Hello, Wanwan..."

He Yue had been waiting; just when she felt a shadow falling over her face, she opened her eyes and saw that Ning Chenguang had already gone to answer the phone.

He left her hanging here to take Jiang Wanwan’s call.

A phone call! They even exchanged numbers!

Thinking of this, He Yue’s jealousy surged. She frowned angrily, took a few quick steps forward, and reached out to snatch Ning Chenguang’s phone.
