The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 187: Soul-Searching—Do You Like Me?

Grandma Jiang’s death came so suddenly, and her dying wish put Wang Miaomiao in a spot, forcing her to hold Jiang Yan’s hand like a duck being pushed onto a perch.

After returning, Wang Miaomiao felt unsettled in her heart, and still didn’t think she and Jiang Yan could have a good outcome.

These days, she deliberately avoided him, not knowing how to face him.

Encountering him now, she couldn’t avoid it. Seeing his haggard appearance, she felt a twinge of heartache; really, just a twinge, she swore!

"Then go to the cafeteria quickly for breakfast. Today’s breakfast is good." Wang Miaomiao’s gaze flickered, and she slightly lowered her head to avoid his burning gaze. Recalling the bloody smell she once smelled, she added, "Are your wounds better? If not, go to the infirmary after breakfast, don’t delay, small wounds can turn into big ones..."

Ah... Wang Miaomiao knew, in her heart, she didn’t completely dislike Jiang Yan, after all, his conditions were here; he was a quality man indeed.

But she still lacked confidence, or rather, she had too many concerns. She wasn’t a naive seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with an impulsive love mentality, thinking that having love meant having everything. Love is love, life is life.

She was too realistic...

Unwilling to take a step because of something so intangible, or rather, something that could disappear at any time, and mess up her well-planned life.

Jiang Yan stared at her, his dark eyes surging with emotions. He noticed her retreat and felt her worry. Ah...

"Ah... What are you doing? Let go of me..."

Jiang Yan suddenly pulled her hand and walked towards the dormitory, which really startled her.

Looking at his domineering behavior, Wang Miaomiao was anxious and angry inside, angrily patting his arm.

"Hiss..."

Jiang Yan gasped, scaring her into withdrawing her hand, "Wh-what happened?"

A glint flashed in Jiang Yan’s eyes, as he calmly said, "Nothing, just hit the wound."

What he said was understated, but upon hearing it, Wang Miaomiao didn’t dare to hit him anymore, allowing him to lead her to the dormitory door and stop...

He swiftly took out the key to open the door...

"Why did you bring me here, I don’t want to..."

Before she could finish, she was pulled into the room, "Bang"... the door closed, the movement was seamless.

"...Inside, domineering!" Wang Miaomiao finished the words she didn’t say earlier, then stared at him angrily.

Jiang Yan listened to her words, laughed, leaned in close, scaring Wang Miaomiao to retreat repeatedly. But when she came to her senses, she was already pinned against the door, trapped in his embrace.

Jiang Yan still held her hand, with the other hand against the door, only ten centimeters away from her.

"Ha, domineering? Do you want to see what I’m really like when I’m domineering?" Jiang Yan’s eyes were like a hawk, watching her closely, with a complex expression on his face.

Wang Miaomiao dared not look him in the eyes, her gaze skirting away, admitting defeat, "No, no need. Why did you pull me in here, this is a military camp, you’re a soldier, if you break the law, you’ll be punished even more severely."

"Ha, such a silly girl." Jiang Yan sighed, couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss the top of her head lightly, inhaling her scent, dispelling his displeasure.

With that lowering of his head, the one-centimeter distance instantly disappeared. Wang Miaomiao quickly raised her hand to press against his chest, angrily saying, "What are you doing, get away. Why are you this close?"

"What am I doing?" Jiang Yan murmured and chuckled softly, "I’m being this obvious, and you still can’t see it? Feel my heart, it will tell you... Miao Miao, stop avoiding me."

Wang Miaomiao was silent, her palm pressed against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, like an electric current touching her palm, transmitting into her heart, making it flutter.

She was startled, making a fist to withdraw her hand, which was immediately caught by Jiang Yan, her small fist wrapped in his large palm.

The unique scent emanating from him, with a hint of pressure, overwhelmed her, making her dizzy, unable to think. She could only close her eyes, pitifully saying, "You, stay away from me, I can’t even think... don’t force me..."

"Sigh..." After a long pause, Jiang Yan sighed lightly, unwilling to force her.

Releasing one of her hands, he tapped her forehead with his finger, helplessly saying, "I really can’t handle you. Still not opening your eyes, want me to kiss you?"

Wang Miaomiao’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, slowly opening her eyes, only to see him smiling tenderly at her.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, embarrassed.

Jiang Yan chuckled softly, leading her towards the room’s table and chairs, seating her on a chair, "I won’t force you, take your time to think, we have all the time in the world."

Finally releasing her hand, he went to pour her some water.

Once Wang Miaomiao regained her freedom, she quickly rubbed her hands together, then put them in her pockets, hiding them.

"Drink some water." Jiang Yan put the mug on the table, gesturing for her to drink.

Wang Miaomiao shook her head, "I’m not thirsty. Aren’t you going to have breakfast? If you wait longer, the cafeteria will close."

"I won’t starve from missing one meal." Seeing she didn’t drink, he took a sip himself, leaning against the table, looking down at her, "So, have you thought it through?"

"What, thought about what?" Wang Miaomiao blurted out unconsciously.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, and Wang Miaomiao, feeling guilty, lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Jiang Yan focused his eyes on her, not allowing her an excuse to escape, directly asking, "I like you, and you?"

It was too direct, Wang Miaomiao pressed her lips, looking up at him seriously, "We’re not suitable."

"I don’t care if we’re suitable or not, I just want to know, do you like me?" Jiang Yan understood her retreat. Right now, he was unconcerned about those external factors, only seeking an honest answer from her heart.

"I..." Wang Miaomiao tensed, her body unconsciously tightening up.

Long after, she hadn’t answered...

"Miao Miao, I want the truest answer from your heart, don’t lie to me, or to yourself." Jiang Yan was also very nervous, keeping his gaze fixed on her.

Wang Miaomiao’s heart pounded like a drum, being constantly pressed by him, feeling annoyed, she couldn’t help but shout, "I do like you, but only a little bit, really just a little bit, maybe I won’t like you suddenly one day, what’s the big deal, asking and asking, aren’t you annoyed...ah...mm..."

Upon hearing she liked him, Jiang Yan was elated, but hearing she might stop liking him anytime made him furious.

Watching her babble words he didn’t want to hear, he just wanted to stop her, unwilling to hear those hurtful words.

Jiang Yan bent over abruptly, holding her head with one hand, kissing her lips hard...
