I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 981: I Just Like You, So What? (10)

From childhood to adulthood, Yan Yichen never really wanted anything special.

Everything he ever had was obtained too easily.

Until Jian Yixue appeared.

If there is one obsession he has had his whole life, then this obsession is Jian Yixue!

The suddenly enlarged handsome face in front of her left Jian Yixue at a loss.

Grabbing the man’s attractive white shirt on her, she mumbled, "Yan Yichen..."

"Hmm?"

Yan Yichen particularly liked when she called his name; Jian Yixue’s voice was pleasant, clear and melodious, like a mountain stream, with her unique grace and tone.

"I’m really timid, I’m afraid of getting hurt being with you...and afraid of you getting hurt. You might not know my family’s situation; I have a younger brother who needs money for school; my father is in poor health and loves to drink; how should I put it...I’m not complaining about unfairness, I just feel that growing up in such a family, I’m not worthy of someone as excellent as you. Our thoughts, ideas, values...everything is different, how could we be happy together?"

She sincerely, very sincerely revealed her heart to Yan Yichen, hoping Yan Yichen could feel her sincerity.

Yan Yichen listened quietly and said in a deep and powerful voice:

"Xiaoxue, don’t live too sensibly; you can be a little wilful, let me spoil you, okay?"

Jian Yixue’s tears fell instantly, catching her off guard.

She didn’t even understand why she was crying.

It was just that the grievance rising from her heart made her especially sad.

She was used to humility, used to compromise, used to being sensible, everyone thought it was natural, as it should be.

But Yan Yichen said: don’t live too sensibly.

So this is what it feels like to be loved.

Jian Yixue’s tears surged, unstoppable, Yan Yichen was bewildered, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and sighed: "Why are you crying? Xiaoxue, don’t cry... I’ll feel worried."

She finally understood the meaning of that phrase: the greatest fear is someone suddenly caring.

A person not cared for fears the most being cared for.

Pushing Yan Yichen away abruptly, Jian Yixue rushed out of the house. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Hey, where are you going!"

Jian Yixue ran away without looking back.

Yan Yichen rubbed his temples, somewhat at his wits’ end, this little woman, how could she just leave like that?

...

Jian Yixue wandered on the streets for several hours, having nowhere to go.

She didn’t like troubling others and clung to a glimmer of hope—perhaps Yan Yichen had gone home already!

She slyly... went back home.

Turning the doorknob, she was surprised!

Who could tell her if this spotlessly clean little apartment with an entire set of high-end furniture was really her home? Could it be she went to the wrong place?

Rich aromas wafted from the kitchen, making one’s fingers twitch in anticipation.

Jian Yixue swallowed and glanced into the kitchen.

A tall figure was cooking, and hearing the door open, he turned around and raised his eyebrows at Jian Yixue, "You’re back."

The tone was natural and familiar, like a newlywed husband welcoming his wife’s return.

"Why are you still here..." Jian Yixue’s confused face, "And why has my home changed so much..."

"Your home is my home, so I’m here; since I plan to stay for a long time, of course, the living conditions can’t be too poor. Alright, dear, the food is in the pot, there’s hot water in the bathroom, would you like to eat first, bathe first, or...come hug your husband first?"
