Even if one of the people Bai Qiu liked was her, Ai Yin still had the right to be angry, she thought to herself with a wronged expression.
Ultimately, Aine felt that Aine was the one throwing a tantrum, which made her feel somewhat guilty towards Bai Qiu.
"Aine, I'm sorry."
Looking at the bulging blanket in front of her, Bai Qiu made up her mind and spoke.
His tone was somewhat remorseful: "I know you don't want to hear this, but I still have to say sorry to you."
After apologizing, Bai Qiu seemed to relax a bit.
Then, without warning, he spoke:
"Aine, I like you."
This is one of the true thoughts that Bai Qiu wanted to tell Chihaya Aine when he came to her today.
He confessed his feelings to Aine, telling her that he liked her.
In an instant, Chihaya Aine, who was hiding under the covers with her eyes tightly closed, heard these words and her eyes suddenly opened in the darkness.
What did Bai Qiu say?
Do I...like her?
Ai Yin was silent for two seconds, even though she subconsciously felt that she had misheard because she was hiding under the covers.
She couldn't help but ask, "What...what did you say?"
She even stammered a little due to nervousness.
Seeing that Ai Yin responded, Bai Qiu felt hopeful and raised his voice, repeating loudly:
"Chihaya Aine, I said I like you, did you hear me clearly this time?"
Bai Qiu revealed a gentle smile.
What does this mean?
He's definitely lying to her!
Chihaya Aine couldn't understand it.
After a moment of stunned silence, Aine exclaimed in a questioning voice, "Huh!? Aren't the people you like Xiangzi and Deng?"
"Hmm." Bai Qiu nodded and said in a deep voice, "But I also like Aine."
At first, Bai Qiu thought that her feelings for Ai Yin were just ordinary attraction, just the affection between good friends.
However, this proved not to be the case.
He really is a womanizer.
These past few days, Bai Qiu felt it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Ai Yin was constantly on his mind.
It seems that no matter what pink object I see, I will think of Aine's face.
The girl, who was originally all smiles, forced a smile because of him.
So, does he like Aine?
Bai Qiu can now answer with certainty that he likes it.
Moreover, her affection for Aine was far greater than she had imagined.
When Ai Yin confessed her feelings to him on the Ferris wheel, he was already smitten and wished he had a girlfriend like Ai Yin.
But at that time, because of his feelings for Xiangzi and Deng, he said something against his will and rejected Aine.
But now, thanks to Ms. Donut's words of wisdom, and after these past few days of deep reflection and self-examination, he has finally found a new path.
Things are different now.
Bai Qiu decided to stop running away from her feelings.
The greedy one wasn't the Donut Lady, it was him!
Since I've intruded into their world, stirred their hearts, and made them like me, and I like them too, then I should take responsibility.
Give them happiness, and let everyone be happy!
"I like Aine, I like the cheerful and lively Aine, I like the Aine who is a little vain, I like the Aine who shows her little tiger teeth when she smiles, I like the Aine who has a little bad taste in names, I like the Aine who calls me by her special nickname, I like the Aine who has a sweet smile..."
The sound of pattering rain and howling wind came from the balcony.
But Bai Qiu's clear and loud voice drowned out everything.
She listened intently to Bai Qiu's heartfelt confession, her expression shifting from surprise to bewilderment, then to delight, and finally to deep emotion...
A complex mix of emotions overwhelmed Chihaya Aine, her face flushed crimson, her teeth biting her delicate lips.
She tried her best to control the surging emotions in her heart, afraid that she might accidentally make an inappropriate sound and interrupt this beautiful moment.
These are the words Bai Qiu has been wanting to hear all along.
At this moment, my wish has finally come true.
"So, Aine, can you entrust your whole life to me?"
With a slight panting sound, Bai Qiu finished speaking in one breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.
Nevertheless, his gaze toward Aine remained tender and resolute.
In the brief moment between Bai Qiu's voices, Chihaya Aine, who was hiding under the covers, could no longer suppress her emotions.
Like a sudden outburst after being suppressed for a long time, Aine forcefully threw off the blanket.
Before Bai Qiu could react, there was a "plop" sound, and Chihaya Aine jumped off the bed and pounced on Bai Qiu without regard for anything else.
Bai Qiu was slightly surprised, but quickly reached out and caught Ai Yin to prevent them from falling to the ground.
Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief upon successfully catching Ai Yin, a slight joy welling up inside him. He couldn't help but ask:
"Aine, can I take that as a yes?"
Her fingers gripped Bai Qiu's back tightly, feeling the warmth emanating from his embrace. Her pink head nuzzled against Bai Qiu's chest, making a muffled sound.
"……Um."
After a long while, Chihaya Aine slowly raised her head, her bright eyes filled with glistening tears as she gazed at Shirai:
"...Bai Qiu...Qiuqiu, I like you too, I like you a lot."
Faced with Bai Qiu's relentless and heartfelt confession, Chihaya Aine no longer harbored any doubts.
I was so moved that I burst into tears, and all I could think of was "I agree."
Reaching out to wipe away the tears from Aine's eyes, Bai Qiu smiled gently, "It's all my fault for making Aine cry."
"...Hmph!" Ai Yin let out a soft hum, her voice trembling with a hint of a sob, and said in a muffled voice, "Who are you calling has bad taste in names? Who are you calling 'Sugar'?"
"But I just love Aine like this, what can I do?" Bai Qiu smiled gently as she looked at Aine.
"Say that again and I'll bite you!" Ai Yin said coquettishly, then retorted with a touch of arrogance, "My taste in names is definitely not bad."
"Yes, yes." Bai Qiu gave Ai Yin's little head a perfunctory rub.
"Heh!" Ai Yin chuckled smugly, then guiltily raised her head and whispered, "Bai Qiu, I also want to apologize. I'm sorry..."
"What are you apologizing for?"
"I've been deliberately ignoring you these past two days, and I even let you get soaked in the rain just now."
"That's alright." Bai Qiu smiled nonchalantly, then continued, "If you hadn't been so cold to me, Ai Yin, I might not have realized my feelings for you so quickly."
"Is that right?"
Such a cheesy couple...
Finally, after a tender and intimate moment with Bai Qiu, Ai Yin looked up at Bai Qiu and softly asked another question that she was particularly concerned about.
"What about Xiangzi and Deng? What do you plan to do with them?"
P.S.: These chapters were difficult to write; the author's writing skills are limited, but I tried my best. It's unbelievable that the pink-haired girl actually took first place, but Aine deserves it. Aine: Who says I'm a god of fantasy?
Chapter 230: Not just Xiangzi and the lamp, but also Su Shi…
"What about Xiangzi and Deng? What do you plan to do with them?"
Although still immersed in the beautiful and warm embrace of the person she likes, Chihaya Aine has not yet been overwhelmed by happiness.
She mainly remembered that before Bai Qiu confessed, he also mentioned that he liked Xiangzi and Deng...
So what should we do?
Did Bai Qiu give up two other people for her?
But Aine had a feeling that it wasn't like that.
She seems... to not want this either.
Upon hearing Aine ask this crucial question, Bai Qiu slowed down his hand as he smoothed Aine's messy hair, and then stopped.
Fortunately, Bai Qiu was mentally prepared for this, and even if Ai Yin didn't ask, he would explain it to her later.
This was something he had already decided before he came to Aine's house and before he said those words to Aine.
Under Ai Yin's somewhat nervous gaze, Bai Qiu spoke up: "Ai Yin, before that, there's something else I need to tell you."
Chihaya Aine blinked in confusion: "What is it?"
"Actually, Su Shi confessed to me before you."
Bai Qiu delivered this information in a calm tone, but it was like a thunderbolt to Aine.
As soon as Bai Qiu finished speaking, Ai Yin sat up straight on the ground, her mouth wide open, revealing two small tiger teeth, and looked up at Bai Qiu with wide eyes in surprise.
"So... Soyorin confessed to you too?"
Bai Qiu nodded: "Mm."
Before making the next declaration, this is something I must tell Aine in advance.
Her heart leaped into her throat. The joy she had felt while confessing her love to Bai Qiu faded, and Ai Yin quickly asked, "So, did you say yes?"
Bai Qiu shook her head slightly, a sense of apology rising in her heart towards Su Shi.
Then he briefly explained to Aine the circumstances under which he had rejected Sue, which were similar to his rejection of Aine a few days earlier.
As for why I told Aine this?
That's because since Bai Qiu has decided to face all his inner emotions, he naturally has to face his feelings for Su Shi as well.
Bai Qiu kept questioning himself: what exactly did he think of Su Shi?
The answer is the same as with Aine: it's about caring and liking...
Recalling the day Su Shi confessed to him, it was indeed very sudden for Bai Qiu. Perhaps at that time, he did not have the idea of dating Su Shi.
He rejected Su Shi because of the presence of Deng and Xiangzi, and afterwards, he chose to suppress his feelings for Su Shi.
Su Shi continued to treat him as a good friend and expressed that she would not give up...
Bai Qiu saw and remembered everything Su Shi, such a gentle and virtuous girl, did for him, which made his heart flutter time and time again.
Ai Yin was unaware of Su Shi's situation, so Bai Qiu decided to explain everything to Ai Yin in one go, rather than keeping it from her, to avoid causing future troubles or even creating problems.
Honesty is the most important thing between couples.
Only by being honest and open with each other can we go further, last longer, and even for a lifetime.
After hearing Bai Qiu's explanation, although she felt a little sorry for Soyorin, Chihaya Aine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for Soyo.
It's a real shame... it turns out she wasn't the first to confess to Bai Qiu... she always thought she was the first.
Soyorin is despicable.
Thankfully, Bai Qiu's first response was to her, which made Ai Yin very fortunate.
As for the information that Su Shi also liked Bai Qiu, Aine wasn't too surprised.
She had noticed something was amiss before, and there was also the late-night chat with Su Shi at Bai Qiu's house that night, where both sides were practically open about their intentions; now it was just a matter of time before it became a reality.
In other words, besides Xiangzi and Deng, there is also Su Shi!
No, she has way too many competitors.
