Love Letters

Chapter 181 The Last Hug

"Confess to me nicely, and I will reject you nicely."

He Miao's pupils were clear and bright, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng's smile froze, "Did I do something wrong?"

"It's not your problem, it's me."

Her eyes dimmed, with a hint of self-mockery in them, and she spoke with understanding, "I've been through this before, because I've also failed in my confession, so I can understand how you feel."

She knew how bitter that feeling was.

She walked closer to him. "When do you expect to tell me?"

"today."

He Miao looked at the sun that was about to set and said, "But today is almost over."

"Ah."

Jiang Yifeng smiled a little embarrassedly, "I haven't found the right opportunity yet."

He showed his usual lazy smile, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised and his little canine teeth showing.

The sunset is behind me, and my fine hair is bathed in the semi-translucent red afterglow.

"When did you fall in love with him?"

He suddenly lowered his eyes and asked seriously.

He Miao thought about it carefully and said, "It should be summer vacation."

"Summer vacation from freshman year?"

Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yifeng's face became somewhat helpless and stiff, "After my birthday."

He suddenly spoke in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or to her.

"Ok?"

He Miao didn't hear it clearly and was a little confused.

"nothing."

He restrained his expression and shook his head slightly.

"If I confessed to you on your birthday, would you accept it?"

He raised his eyes, met hers, and said seriously, "After all, you didn't like him at that time."

He Miao listened to him patiently, but saw that his eyes were red and a feeling of guilt was pressing into his heart.

"I'm sorry Jiang Yifeng, I always regarded you as a good friend."

"It's nothing, I just wasn't firm enough."

It was the confession at the birthday party before, and it was the same at all times afterwards.

"So did you regard Xu Mobai as someone you liked from the beginning?"

"No."

He Miao lowered his eyes slightly, but his heart began to surge.

She began to recall how she fell in love with Xu Mobai.

"At first I was very scared of him and hated him, but later I found out that he was actually a good person and was nice to me. At that time I wanted to be friends with him."

"Then do you still like him?"

"Ah."

He Miao nodded honestly.

"But he doesn't like you and leaves you."

As he spoke, his eyes were tinged with some melancholy.

"Don't be so hurtful."

He Miao showed an awkward but polite smile on his face.

"How did you confess?"

"He said that on his birthday."

“It was rejected on the spot.”

"He has no vision."

"Indeed, that bastard Xu Mobai."

The two began to scold Xu Mobai, calling him a heartless and unfaithful man...

As he was scolded, He Miao started to cry and began to wipe his tears silently.

The person she called worthless is no longer with her.

But she still likes him.

Jiang Yifeng was shocked, "I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

"It's not you."

He Miao shook his head. "It's all Xu Mobai's fault."

The two began a new round of abuse against Xu Mobai.

That day, Jiang Yifeng was sad with her.

That day, Jiang Yifeng suffered his first heartbreak.

"But I'm already adjusting. When I'm done, that's who Xu Mobai is!"

After a while, He Miao took the tissue from Jiang Yifeng's hand, blew his nose for a while, and then he recovered.

"What do you like about him?"

He asked her with his back to her, no emotion in his tone.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly changed his words, "Forget it, you don't have to say anything."

Jiang Yifeng knew very well that he didn't have the courage, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, and was even more afraid of knowing the answer.

There was even a moment when he suddenly hoped that this secret love could end naturally.

"In fact, I don't think I'm any worse than him."

"You are much better than him."

"You never made me cry."

He laughed heartily, revealing a row of white teeth, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.

The two stood facing each other.

As if he had prepared himself mentally, Jiang Yifeng coughed lightly, then spoke seriously, "I like you, He Miao!"

This is a confession that comes almost a year late.

"Thank you for liking me."

He Miao quickly wiped away her tears and snot, then looked at her without blinking, "But I'm very sorry, I have to reject your confession."

"fine."

"Give me one last hug."

Jiang Yifeng opened his arms towards her and smiled brightly.

As if he had expected it, he did not feel as sad as he had imagined, but more relieved.

All that I have not dared to say, I now say it all, as if the boat has sailed over thousands of mountains...

"I don't want my youth to be too miserable."

He Miao raised her eyes slightly and met his eyes across half the table.

Those eyes were as deep and calm as a lake, and she could even see her own reflection in them.

Her heart seemed to be gripped by something, and it felt sore and yet incredibly soft.

It was as if all the blood was flowing to her heart faster, and her heart was beating heavily, and it felt like an electric shock from the top of her head to her fingertips.

In the silence, time seemed to stop for a few seconds.

She suddenly trotted over and hugged him.

The unexpected hug made Jiang Yifeng's heart skip a beat.

There was surprise, astonishment and panic in his eyes, and his half-open lips forgot to close for a long time.

He couldn't help but wonder how nice it would be if this hug was the reward for his successful confession today.

After a while, he hugged her back tightly, "Thank you, He Miao."

It’s really a pleasure to meet her!

The mood is like walking through a deep forest, cutting through thorns and brambles along the way, and finally finding the exit that leads to liberation.

The two seemed to have talked it out and figured it out, and they began to complain about things at school as they walked.

Talking about Jiang Yifeng's rapid progress in study, He Miao felt a little lonely, just like being rejected when confessing his love and being abandoned when going out...

But she still acted as if she didn't care, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, I'm not jealous at all, the bloodshot eyes are just caused by the wind."

Suddenly, Jiang Yifeng's attention was attracted by something and he stopped.

He Miao was confused, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yifeng's gaze still stayed in that direction, "I seem to see my friend from before."

"What friend........"

"He Miao, wait here for me, I'll catch up and take a look."

Jiang Yifeng handed the gift to He Miao and chased after him.

"Hey! Wait......"

Before she could finish, Jiang Yifeng had already run away and disappeared.

Jiang Yifeng's friend? Isn't he the one who stabbed him in the back?

He Miao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and felt that something was not right, so he followed him.
