Qi Yan looked at her. The night light was so dim that he could hardly see her expression clearly. Qi Yan stepped back and kept his distance from her, but his tone was still as gentle as before: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel..." Meng Zhiying hesitated, raised her head and suddenly asked: "Classmate Qi Yan and I are friends, right?"
Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised a soft smile: "No."
"… What?"
Meng Zhiying's eyes widened suddenly, as if she didn't believe what she heard.
"I said, we are not friends." Qi Yan said every word and gave her a heavy blow.
"Why?" Meng Zhiying couldn't stand it anymore. She yelled at Qi Yan crazily, venting all the words that had been buried in her heart: "I like you!"
…
After the words fell, there was a silent silence.
Meng Zhiying felt cold and weak all over her body, as if she was trapped in an ice cellar, unable to move.
She... just said it? At this time, in this place...
Meng Zhiying raised her head in panic, wanting to explain or take back her words, but when her eyes touched Qi Yan's handsome face, she felt as if there was a thorn in her throat, and all her words were suddenly blocked.
—She wanted to hear Qi Yan’s answer.
Qi Yan felt deeply bad after she said those words. Sure enough, the system beep sounded on time.
[Host, please note that the heroine’s feelings for the male partner cannot be determined, so please handle it properly! ]
…excuse me? Can't tell what the hell it is? !
Qi Yan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and met the heroine's hopeful eyes.
"I'm sorry." The words escaped from the thin lips without any hesitation: "I have someone I like."
“…”
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent again.
[The heroine's favorability towards Qi Yan is -20. The current favorability is still undetermined. Please handle it properly, host. ]
[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan is -10, current favorability: 85. ]
Qi Yan:…!
Standing silently in front of the boy, Meng Zhiying lowered her head, her face already blurred by the night even more elusive.
Qi Yan took a deep breath and was about to say something when Meng Zhiying suddenly pushed him away vigorously and ran away along the path she came from.
Qi Yan looked at her disappearing back, his handsome brows slightly furrowed.
It's so abnormal. He has done so many tasks, and it is rare for a female protagonist to confess her love to a male partner, let alone the degree of affection that cannot be determined.
In a trance, the system's voice sounded again.
[The male protagonist’s favorability towards Qi Yan is -5, current favorability: 80]
His sensitive ears moved, and the sound of stepping on dead branches not far away reached his ears accurately.
Qi Yan smiled helplessly, strode onto the path, and returned to the brightly lit camp.
Walking straight towards his and Luo Han's tent, there was light inside, and the light swayed a figure in the tent.
Qi Yan got into the tent. Luo Han was packing his sleeping bag. When he saw him coming in, he pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Where have you been?"
Qi Yan sat down next to him and grinned, "I'm going to reject other people's confessions."
"oh."
He said indifferently, trying to stop this topic that both of them knew well.
Qi Yan rolled his eyes and suddenly leaned forward and asked softly: "Don't you want to ask who confessed to me? Don't you want to know how I rejected her?"
"In no mood."
"But I want to tell you..."
"I do not want to know!"
Luo Han's voice suddenly became louder, and Qi Yan felt his eyes flicker. When he regained consciousness again, his back was already touching the ground.
Luo Han put his hands on his ears and lay firmly above him.
"You just want me to know that much? No matter what the consequences are?"
The magnetic voice became deep and hoarse, and there was a hint of danger in it.
Qi Yan looked into his pupils as black as ink, and saw his own shadow reflected in them, and he saw that he was smiling.
"What about you, Han." Qi Yan repeated, "Do you know what you are doing?"
“…”
What responded to him was his lips that suddenly pressed down.
