Chapter 271 Do you like me?
Fang Wei half-supported himself and sat on the bed, looking at the girl who was hiding in the quilt like a little drum bag, who could not be driven away no matter how hard he hit or scolded her, and sighed helplessly.
It would be fine if he was older, or younger, but he is at an age when love is just beginning and he can't do anything. Isn't this pure torture for him!
But anyway, there is only this naughty little girl like her, what else can Fang Wei do to her?
It was a bit cold to sit with the quilt uncovered on a winter night, so Fang Wei lay back down on the bed.
Hearing the noise coming from the bed and seeing that Fang Wei had no intention of chasing her away, Xu Cailing, who had been hiding in the quilt like a snail, quietly popped her head out from under the quilt.
Just like the fun game of hide-and-seek in childhood, she first lifted a corner of the quilt to secretly look at him. When she saw that he was looking at her, she quickly tucked in the corner of the quilt and crawled back into bed.
Maybe she was feeling stuffy in the bed. After a while, she lifted the corner of the quilt again and saw that Fang Wei had closed his eyes. She then contentedly curled up under the quilt and squeezed closer to him. She poked her little head out and tucked the edge of the quilt into his delicate neck to keep the cold air out.
"Humph~"
"..."
"Are you asleep?"
"...Sleep, don't talk."
"Hee~"
"If you keep disturbing my sleep, you will go back to your room and sleep."
"I don't want to. My room is so cold!"
"I didn't see you say it was cold before?"
"Because I slept with Zhiyi before, and now it's so cold when I sleep alone."
"Then you won't cover yourself with two extra quilts."
“The quilt is so heavy!”
Seeing Fang Wei wanted to talk, the girl said, "We sleep together at noon anyway. Your bed is so big, so it doesn't matter if we sleep together. If you say anything else, I'll beat you!"
"..."
Fang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Fortunately, the girl had no intention of sharing a blanket with him. She brought her own pillow and blanket and occupied half of the space on his bed quite comfortably.
"Are you cold?" Xu Cailing asked.
"not cold."
"I-I'm a little cold!"
"..."
Fang Wei reached out from under the quilt and grabbed her blanket.
Xu Cailing's eyes widened and her heart beat faster. Her mind was filled with the embarrassing plots in the novels she and Zhiyi had read together. She subconsciously clutched the quilt tightly.
Ke Fangwei had no intention of lifting her quilt. He just casually grabbed her quilt twice to feel the thickness.
"Don't you have a thicker blanket? You must be cold if you cover yourself with this."
"No, I usually don't feel cold when I cover myself with Zhiyi."
"Aren't you two going to cover one each?"
"No, we cover ourselves with two blankets and sleep together, so we're warm."
"Go back and get the quilt quickly."
"It's cold! I don't want to move... help me get it."
"You're the only one who doesn't want to move. I don't want to move either."
"Then I'm not cold anymore."
"?"
Fang had no other choice but to lift up his quilt and cover her with part of it. His quilt was wide and big, more than enough to cover two or three people.
As Fang Wei's quilt was covered on top of hers, Xu Cailing immediately felt warm!
The weight of two layers of quilts pressed tightly against her, and she felt as if her whole body was surrounded by warmth!
"Then, let me cover you with my quilt!"
Xu Cailing said generously, then lay down in the quilt and pulled the half of the quilt that was originally under her body to Fang Wei.
It was not until their bodies touched each other in the bed that they suddenly realized - what the hell is the difference between this and covering themselves with the same quilt? !
Fang Wei's face tightened and he quickly lowered his arm to hold down the quilt she was trying to pull away.
"No, just cover yourself. I'm not cold."
"Oh."
Xu Cailing's pretty face also turned a little red. When Fang Wei said no, she stopped what she was doing.
With such a large quilt in her original bed, the girl Fang Weileng naturally didn't feel cold, she even felt a little hot.
Fortunately, the weather has cooled down enough, and with the quilt fortress separating us, the heat is limited and does not affect our sleep...
The room fell silent.
But after a while, Fang Wei heard the girl's tentative voice again:
"Would you like to hold me while I sleep?"
"...No, stop making noise."
"Didn't you always hold me in your arms while sleeping when you were a kid?"
"??"
Fang Wei's eyes widened: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever hold you to sleep? It was obviously you who slept on my bed and you held me!"
"Oh. I don't remember!"
"I don't believe you."
There seemed to be a rustling sound in the quilt. Before Fang Wei could check carefully, a tender arm stretched out from the quilt fortress next door. The warm little hand groped tentatively and finally got into his palm.
"What are you doing……"
"Hold, hold my hand and sleep..."
"No."
"You lead it!"
"..."
Fang Wei closed his palms and held the soft little hand.
I could vaguely hear the girl's long breathing as if she was relieved. She shrank her neck warmly, with a happy and sweet look on her face.
"Go to bed quickly. Are you going to train tomorrow?"
"Then remember to wake me up."
"Are you training or am I training? Do you want me to wake you up?"
"You must be calling me for your bed. I didn't bring my alarm clock. Please set a time..."
"Okay, go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
"You haven't set the alarm yet!"
"I've already decided."
"... Did you know that I would definitely come tonight?"
"You're crazy. I was just worried that you'd oversleep. I had to remind you whether you were coming or not."
"Humph."
Cai Ling felt very happy. How many people in this world would set an alarm to remind her even though it was not their business?
In the light-off room, the two of them lay on the same bed. Compared to the bright daytime, in such a quiet winter night, it seemed that the distance between their hearts was even closer, and even the temperature was intertwined.
Although we often talk about sleeping together when we were young, that was just during lunch breaks. In fact, this seems to be the first time we spend the night lying in the same bed like this.
When she was studying facing the window in the past, Xu Cailing had thought more than once what it would be like if she could secretly climb through the window and run to his room to sleep in the dead of night. However, she never expected that she would finally experience this feeling after so many years.
He will not only appear in her dreams, but also appear by her side. She moved her fingers, and their hands were still tightly clasped in the quilt.
"Fang Wei."
"..."
"Fang Wei."
"…What are you doing?"
"Where are these words?"
"Sichuan and Chongqing."
"How did you do that?"
"I learned it from TV."
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Listening to the girl imitating his speech, Fang Wei knew that she was fine and was just bored and couldn't sleep!
"Please talk to me."
Xu Cailing stretched out her little hand and poked him in the quilt.
"No, go to sleep."
"I can't sleep. Please tell me a story like you used to." "Once upon a time there was a little girl who couldn't sleep well every night. Finally one day, she was taken away by a wolf."
"I don't want to hear this!"
"Didn't you love listening to it the most before?"
"Well, I'm an adult now. I want to hear some adult stories."
"Once upon a time there was a little girl who never slept well every night. One day, she didn't sleep well and dozed off during training. Then she was criticized by the coach! She was punished to clean the toilet!"
"Hehehe...I hate you so much!"
Xu Cailing hit him with a smile, but after a while, both of her hands were grabbed by him and she couldn't move at all.
"So what do you usually talk about when you sleep with Zhiyi?"
"I won't tell you~"
"What are you talking about?"
"Didn't I tell you? I won't tell you!"
"What will it take for you to tell me?"
"Let go of my hand first..."
"All right."
"Hehe pig! I didn't say I'll tell you if you let me go!"
Xu Cailing took the opportunity to kick him twice more. Fang Wei was so angry that she was about to counterattack, but she shrank back into her own quilt fortress.
Fang Wei reached his arms into the quilt and pinched and dug, causing the girl to giggle and beat him continuously.
Seeing that they would not be able to sleep all night if they continued like this, the two of them stopped playing tacitly and lay down on their pillows, holding hands tightly under the quilt, looking at the dim ceiling, and trying to calm down.
"Fang Wei."
"..."
"How long have we known each other?"
"It's as old as you are."
"Humph, you speak as if you knew me even before you could remember anything. I must have remembered you before you did!"
"Haha, if it's more than that, then I definitely knew you earlier."
"Do not believe."
"If you don't believe it, forget it."
Xu Cailing didn't care about the extension of this topic. Maybe it was just her casual opening remark. The girl turned around slightly and faced him.
In the dim light, she tried hard to look into his eyes, organizing her words several times, and finally asked in a low voice:
"Then, after a long time, will we still be together like this for a long time?"
Fang Wei didn't answer her in a hurry. He just turned around and looked into her eyes, just like her.
Obviously he was the one who asked the question first, but it was Xu Cailing who blushed when he looked at her, and quietly hid half of her face under the quilt.
"Ask, ask you!"
"Why are you asking this suddenly? Do you like me?"
"...!!!"
It was obviously something that everyone knew, but when he said it casually, the reserved girl still blushed with shame. She subconsciously wanted to use Zhiyi as a shield, but Zhiyi was not there to share the pressure. Cai Ling felt like she was stripped naked and tied in front of him, unable to escape or hide.
"Yes, Zhiyi likes you! She likes you the most!"
Just like a gecko would throw its tail away first when encountering danger, in order to hide her own little thoughts, Xu Cailing gave Zhiyi to him without hesitation.
"Really?"
"Yeah! Zhiyi talks about you every day when we go to bed together!"
"That's it..."
I thought the topic would end there, but I didn't expect that Chou Fang was so greedy that he was not satisfied with just offering a piece of knowledge. He moved closer, so that his warm breath was about to blow on the girl's face when he spoke.
"But, I'm asking you, what about you, do you like me?"
"I I I I..."
Cai Ling's eyes were flustered and her gaze was evasive. Her little mouth kept opening and closing like a koi in a pond, but she still couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Mingming and Zhiyi were able to calmly express their love for each other during late-night conversations, but why was it that when facing the person involved, he couldn't squeeze out a single clever word?
Facing Fang Wei's question, Xu Cailing felt like she was sitting in an examination room. As soon as she got the paper, time began to pass by like crazy. In the blink of an eye, there was only one minute left. Before she could even understand the question, the teacher who collected the papers was already standing next to her. Her heart was pounding and her palms were sweating, but she had no idea how to write down the answers!
"Hmm? Go ahead."
Fang Wei is still questioning!
Cai Ling was so anxious! Her brain was working very fast! But it seemed that because it was working too fast, it was all confused and blank!
Should I say "Yes! I like you too", but what if he says "What a pity, I like Zhiyi more"?
Should I say, "What the hell, how could I like you?" What if he says, "What a pity, I liked you to begin with"?
If he happens to like me too, and we become childhood sweethearts, what should Zhiyi do?
For Cai Ling at this moment, what she was thinking about more was perhaps the changes in the relationship after they expressed their feelings to each other, and that unknown new relationship was what bothered her the most.
She was happy, excited, melancholy, confused, and she didn't know what to say!
Xiao Qingmei, who was always good at speaking, had never been so speechless as to be asked such a question. Fang Wei could guess what she was thinking, so he said with a smile:
"Just say whatever you think. It's not against the law to like or dislike someone. It doesn't mean you have to do something if you like someone, and it doesn't mean you have to be in a relationship if you like someone."
"Well, what about you? Do you like my...good friend Zhiyi?"
"like."
Xu Cailing's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth for a long time before she asked unwillingly, "Then, then do you like me?"
"like."
Xu Cailing's face turned red, her little mouth opened and closed for a long time, she hummed, and was so embarrassed that she went back into bed like a snail.
"Don't hide, you haven't said it yet." Fang Wei poked her.
"Greedy ghost! I don't want to pay attention to you!"
"Haven't you always known that I'm greedy?"
"..."
The girl felt as if a kitten was scratching her heart, and she was in mixed feelings. For a moment she didn't know where to start to sort things out. The mutual affection between the three of them had long been a tacit understanding among each other, but today was the first time it was brought to the table, and the girl felt as if she was forced to make a decision, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only roll over and over in her bed.
"You haven't told me yet, do you like me?"
Seeing Fang Wei had given up, Xu Cailing also threw away the quilt, revealing her red face. She looked like she was about to scream, but in the end she just whispered softly, "I like it..."
Before Fang Wei could say anything, she hit him again and said distressedly: "Then, what should I do now..."
"There's nothing we can do now. If we have to do anything, it's not the right time. Our current task is to study hard and train well..."
"Get out of here, I'm serious!"
"I'm serious."
Fang Wei held the girl's hand, his tone calmed down, he looked into her eyes seriously and said: "You like me, I like you, it's normal. We just know this to each other now, it doesn't mean our relationship will change. On the contrary, I'm glad that we knew this very early, which gives us a lot of time to get along and make choices. I'm greedy, I want to be with you forever, but I don't know what you think. It may be a momentary impulse in your youth. Maybe one day you find that I'm not suitable, and I can accept it with pleasure. Maybe one day you decide to be with me, and I will be very happy. So there's no rush to define our relationship. Didn't we agree before that no one should fall in love too early?"
This is what Fang Wei really thinks. Even though he is greedy, he will not deceive the girls at their ignorant age. He just expresses his feelings and then gives them enough time to grow and buffer these emotions, so that they can see their true hearts clearly and will not regret it no matter what the relationship will be like in the future.
A lifetime is so long. How can a matter concerning the lifetime happiness of three people be a simple and sloppy decision?
It is not a good idea to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth. Now they are about to reach the most important stage of growth for each other. No matter from which angle you consider it, Fang Wei does not want Cai Ling Zhiyi and the others to be worried and distracted because of emotional matters.
Fang Wei's words calmed the confused Cai Ling.
Whether the three of them were together or separated, or he was with one of them, no matter what kind of relationship it was, she and Zhiyi were not prepared.
But Fang Wei was right. Their love for each other was undeniable. With the buffer of adolescence, perhaps they could see more clearly their true choice.
"Then you will always like me..."
"Of course."
"Why can you be sure that you like someone, but we have to grow up before we can like someone?"
"Because you are childish, but I am not."
"Pooh."
Although she said so, when she heard that Fang Wei would always like her, Cai Ling felt more relaxed. At least, she didn't have to worry about whether he liked her or not...
After simplifying the problem, she only needed to make sure whether she liked him and whether she was willing to like him with Zhiyi. Suddenly, she felt that the complicated problem became much simpler.
After all, she and Zhiyi had already reached a consensus!
Even though Fang Wei thinks they are too young and doesn't acknowledge their consensus, Cai Ling is confident that time will prove everything!
"Have you told Zhiyi about this?"
"Don't you two gossip in bed every day behind my back? Why don't you just tell Zhiyi?"
"It's so embarrassing, I don't want to do that. Just tell Zhiyi and watch her beat you up! You greedy bastard!"
I don’t know whether Zhiyi would hit him or not, but Cailing hit him anyway. She was obviously very greedy, but when she thought that Fang Wei was even greedier than her, she couldn’t help but pinch him.
"Stop, stop, stop! Go to sleep, go to sleep! Are you going to train tomorrow morning or not?"
Fang decided to go all the way and simply wrapped her in a quilt and held her tightly in his arms.
thumping——
In the dim room, two hearts were beating violently.
But at least, it's quiet...
