Chapter 688: Of Course It’s True

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xia Xibei’s emotional quotient was a bit low, but she was very intelligent.

Ever since she had made up her mind, her way of getting along with Qiao Yanjue had changed quite a bit.

She could tell that Qiao Yanjue had a crush on her as well.

However, the way Qiao Yanjue doted on her but didn’t dare to get too close made her suspect that he was treating her like a younger sister, wasn’t he?

Although Qiao Yanjue was very good to her, who knew if he was short of younger sisters?!

He was so much older than herself, so if he really liked her, why didn’t he take the initiative to ask?

After that, she carefully tried to approach the subject, so as not to scare Qiao Yanjue away.

To her surprise, he really liked her!

The very words he uttered said it all.

Thinking about everything before, Xia Xibei couldn’t help but want to shoot herself.

However, both of them were new to relations.h.i.+ps, and it was true that they were not sure until one of them said it explicitly.

But what did it mean when Qiao Yanjue ran away after saying that?

He wasn’t regretting it, was he?

Xia Xibei stood in the spot, her expression twisted and conflicted.

Only after a long time did she come back to her senses.

What are you afraid of? Ask him directly!

Thinking of this, she ran to knock on Qiao Yanjue’s door.

After knocking for a while, Qiao Yanjue opened the door.

When he opened the door, she couldn’t help but take two steps back, her cheeks blus.h.i.+ng.

She had thought that Qiao Yanjue had said he was going to take a shower as an excuse, but to her surprise, he had really gone to take a shower!

Moreover, because she tapped on the door too anxiously, he rushed out from inside with only a towel around his waist, revealing a beautifully muscled chest and faintly visible V lines.

His hair was wet, with droplets of water sliding down his chest and into the bath towel…

Although Xia Xibei’s cheeks were scarlet, she couldn’t help but move her head up and down slightly, and her eyes swept from top to bottom, ending up at the edge of the bath towel.

He looked lean in clothes and very muscular undressed!

She felt herself drooling.

Qiao Yanjue was taking a shower inside when he heard a sharp knock on the door outside. In his hurry, he could only wrap his bath towel around him and rush out.

Xia Xibei’s eyes were so hot that he felt his skin was going to become burned.

He was in a very complicated mood. He felt a little happy and proud, wanting to puff up his chest to let her look more closely, but also a little embarra.s.sed, wanting to grab his clothes.

“What did you want to see me about?”

He couldn’t help but cough lightly, interrupting her hot gaze.

Reminded by him, Xia Xibei subconsciously looked up, the blush on her cheeks not yet disappearing.

Their gazes met and instantly entwined, the air around them seeming to become thin.

Xia Xibei first came back to her senses, then took a deep breath, trying to control her wildly beating heartbeat before opening her mouth.

“Is what you just said… True?”

What he just said?

Qiao Yanjue’s face froze and he almost ran away again.

After he had just blurted it out, he realized that he had been too rash, which was why he had immediately avoided her.

He didn’t want to state his intentions before Xia Xibei turned eighteen.

He had thought Xia Xibei would avoid this topic. He did not expect that she would seize it and not let go!

“I…”

He opened his mouth but hesitated.

If he were to say the truth, would Xia Xibei be scared away?

But if he lied… It didn’t seem good.

“Be honest with me!” Xia Xibei m grunted, annoyed.

“Of course it’s true!” Qiao Yanjue blurted out.
