Chapter 225: Mr. Huo is the First Love
Banxia froze again, a sense of helplessness washing over her. Under the veil of night, her small face had long turned fiery red and scorching hot.
She had always known that Yan Ting did everything very straightforwardly, but she didn’t expect his confession to be so direct that it was hard to take in.
"You like me, so I have to respond to you? Wouldn’t that make me look cheap?" Banxia lowered her head, muttering under her breath.
Though she said that out loud, her heart inexplicably bloomed like a flower, filled with excitement, delight, and a hint of panic.
Yan Ting actually liked her. Ha, the arrogant and untouchable Mr. Huo liked her. How could this not be something to be proud of?
"You must respond to me. I don’t like playing a one-man show, nor do I want an unrequited love. Now that I’ve said it, what are you going to do?" The man was too domineering, laying all the tough questions in front of her, forcing her to make a choice.
But...
This was love, not a multiple-choice quiz. The way he phrased it made Banxia’s mind go utterly blank.
"What can I do? Am I supposed to stop you and tell you not to like me?" Banxia burst out laughing.
"Don’t laugh!" Yan Ting’s expression tightened when he heard her laugh, and he snapped at her in a fit of embarrassment and anger, "Answer me seriously!"
Banxia was speechless. She was already being serious right now.
"I have nothing to answer you. If you like me, then so be it. I’ll just assume I’ve gained another admirer. Besides, there are so many people who like me—do I need to respond to every one of them? That would exhaust me to death." Banxia had her own pride. She certainly wouldn’t admit outright how excited, nervous, or honored she actually felt.
