I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 980: I Just Like You, So What? (9)

Her face was all "I don’t want you to go," but Yan Yichen completely ignored it. She begrudgingly ground her teeth, "I only have tap water at home! Can’t even afford bottled water!"

"Boiling tap water is fine to drink. As long as it reaches the boiling point, it can kill common bacteria," Yan Yichen spoke casually.

Jian Yixue: "..."

Yan Yichen, damn you!

After mentally repeating that a hundred times, she slowly dragged herself upstairs.

The apartment she rented had low rent, but the building was really old and didn’t have an elevator. She lived on the eighth floor, and by the time they climbed up, Jian Yixue was gasping for air.

She glanced at Yan Yichen, who seemed perfectly fine and even took the key from her hand to unlock the door.

Jian Yixue suddenly remembered the last time she got drunk. It seemed Yan Yichen was the one who carried her home...

So... did he carry her, climbing up eight flights of stairs?

A strange emotion quietly grew in her left atrium...

After entering the room, Yan Yichen went to boil some tap water, found an old packet of tea leaves, and, without any disdain, brewed two cups of tea, sipping them slowly as though enjoying a fine tea.

Jian Yixue eagerly watched him finish a cup of water, a "You should head home early" was about to slip out, but was stopped by his "Another cup, please."

Grumpily refilling his cup, Jian Yixue said irritably, "Is this tea really that good? Are you getting addicted?"

"Not addicted to tea, but rather to people."

Those eyes full of laughter curved perfectly, staring at Jian Yixue without blinking.

She uneasily rubbed her arms, avoiding his gaze, "President, I’ve said before, we’re not a match... It’s better for us to keep our distance."

"I thought we were already dating," Yan Yichen raised an eyebrow. "I’ve said, I’ll take responsibility for you..."

Jian Yixue always thought that was just a joke after he kissed her last time, but judging by his attitude, did he mean it seriously?

A sense of irritability surged inside her; life was already hard enough, why did Yan Yichen have to make it harder?

"President, I’m busy every day with work and study. I live a small, difficult life, and I’m already trying my hardest just to survive. I really don’t have the energy for a relationship, nor do I qualify to love you, because I’m not deserving! I know better than anyone! So, please, give up!"

"You’re asking me to give up? Do you think our feelings are just a fleeting part of youth that’ll end without result?" Yan Yichen intensified his tone, his deep eyes fixed on her.

Jian Yixue took a deep breath, "That’s right, since we’re destined not to have a beginning and end, it’s better for it to end without result, so we don’t burden each other with troubles!"

Yan Yichen laughed, carrying a hint of mockery.

"Xiaoxue, you’re even more ruthless than I imagined."

His eyes were flecked with stars of sorrow, making Jian Yixue wary to meet his gaze.

She bit her lip, "Please leave, and don’t come back again."

Yan Yichen stood up, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was going to leave.

Unexpectedly, he walked over with his long strides, seized her wrist, and pushed her onto the sofa in a classic ’sofa push-down’!

Usually gentle, today he was declaring his formidable possessive desire, "I just like you, what’s wrong with that? I want to be with you, Jian Yixue, I can dare to take the step, why can’t you?!"
