Under the moonlight

Chapter 147 Be My Girlfriend

"You, is there something you need my help with? Just say it, don't try to trick me." Jiang Ying looked at Li Shuo with great confidence. She felt that the only reasonable explanation for this usually unserious man becoming serious was that he needed something from him.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth, okay? How can you not tell?" Li Shuo's carefully cultivated emotions were shattered by her words, and he said helplessly to Jiang Ying.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Ying looked at his helpless and resigned expression, and her heart suddenly softened for some reason. Did he really think she was different? In what way?

Li Shuo looked at Jiang Ying, who was frowning and silent. He didn't know what she was thinking. Her round chin seemed even rounder as she frowned. A few strands of hair fell down by her ears, curving her cheeks and chin into a beautiful arc. Li Shuo leaned forward and reached out to gently tuck those strands of hair behind her ears.

Jiang Ying, who was deep in thought, was startled by his sudden movement. Her senses and touch were amplified. She could clearly feel the warmth of his fingers and even smell the faint fragrance on his fingertips. When their eyes met, the tenderness and heat in his eyes seemed to melt her, and her cheeks and earlobes turned a rosy red at a visible speed.

"What are you doing!" As her body grew hotter, her rational instincts told Jiang Ying that something was wrong. She hurriedly leaned back, but she forgot that only half of her buttocks were on the edge of the bed. As she dodged, she lost her balance and was about to fall to the floor. Li Shuo quickly reached out to catch her, but he missed and ended up falling on top of Jiang Ying because of his large movement.

"Ouch! That hurts!" With a cry of surprise from Jiang Ying, Li Shuo quickly propped himself up and looked at Jiang Ying beneath him, covering his nose tightly with both hands. "What are you doing!" Jiang Ying was not polite at all, raising her knee and hitting him in the stomach.

"Holy crap! Oh my god~" Li Shuo didn't even have time to speak. The excruciating pain almost made him cry. "No, can you be gentler? You, you, never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore." Li Shuo covered the painful spot and slowly sat up. He looked at Jiang Ying, who was still looking at him warily, and found it funny. He leaned against the bed and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at!" Jiang Ying glared at him.

"No, what do you think I'm going to do to you? Why are you so wary of me? Do you think I'm some kind of bad guy just because I'm looking for that kind of woman?" Li Shuo shook his head helplessly after saying that.

"No, I didn't think you were a bad person, it's just that just now..." As she spoke, Jiang Ying's face unconsciously turned red again.

"Huh? Just now? What happened just now? Well, I saw you were about to fall, so I went to pull you up, and then I fell down too, isn't that all? What did you think it was?" Seeing her uncomfortable look, Li Shuo wanted to tease her, so he said it in a serious tone.

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing." Jiang Ying was already in a state of confusion, and she believed whatever he said, unable to find any flaws in his story.

"Hmm, so why did you kick me?" Li Shuo was unwilling to give up this opportunity. If he didn't tease him a little longer, he would have taken that kick for nothing!

"I... I don't know either. But when you suddenly acted like that, I was sure..." Jiang Ying was stunned by him. At this moment, all she could think about was the scene from just now. His hands tightly protected the back of her head, and she was being held tightly against his chest. Before her eyes was his face, which had suddenly become larger and larger, with handsome features.

She had never had such intimate contact with any boy before. Although she had never had a boyfriend, she was still a grown woman. Even if she hadn't experienced love, she had seen it all. Usually, in situations like this, the male lead would close his eyes and kiss the female lead. But they weren't in that kind of relationship, so in a moment of panic…

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Is it that hard to think about asking you to be my girlfriend?" Li Shuo couldn't help but shout as he looked at Jiang Ying, who was lost in thought.

"Huh? What? What did you just say?" Jiang Ying looked at Li Shuo with a blank expression, having just come to her senses. He said he wanted her to be his girlfriend?!

“I said, be my girlfriend. If we can get back safely this time, that would be the best. If not, at least we’ll have each other’s company down there. Otherwise, we’ll be third wheels for Huang Meng and Xu Ao. If we get together, Zhao Meng will be all alone, but he can keep Old Zhang company.”

"Are you serious?" Jiang Ying asked Li Shuo earnestly.

"Of course, would you fake something like this? I'm not the kind of irresponsible person." After saying that, Li Shuo reached out to hug Jiang Ying. According to the normal development of the plot, once a girl asks this question, it means that she has given her consent.

"Ouch, that hurts~" What awaited him was Jiang Ying grabbing his inner thigh hard.

"If you're serious, think it through before you say it again. How can you ramble on like this!" Jiang Ying pinched him hard, then glared at him, stood up, sat down in a chair, and looked at him with her arms crossed.

"No way, how did you learn how to pinch people from Huang Meng?!"

"Yeah, what's wrong? You regret it?" Jiang Ying turned her head away, seemingly in a huff, and refused to look at him.

"Okay, you said it yourself." Li Shuo stood up and walked in front of her. Looking at her round chin, he reached out and pinched it, then lowered his head and kissed it.

Jiang Ying thought he was getting up to leave, so she just stared blankly at Li Shuo, who had his eyes closed and looked intoxicated and tender, feeling him gently caressing her lips.

"I'm serious, Jiang Ying, be my girlfriend." Li Shuo said gently but firmly, reluctant to pull away from her lips.
