Chapter 205: Scared
Cedric turned when he heard the sound of the brush connecting with the floor. When he saw Cheng Yu staring wide-eyed at his painting that was basically her painting, he froze. It was much like being caught making a mistake as a kid.
He had painted it upside–down and because it was a back view of her, she couldn’t really recognize herself. But when he was done, he had forgotten that she was still in the studio and excitedly turned it.
"Why would you paint me?" She expectedly asked. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t find a reasonable excuse for him painting her.
"Because I like you." He answered like it meant nothing. As though afraid she didn’t hear, he looked up at her, his eyes meeting hers. "Cheng Yu, I’m in love with you."
Cheng Yu stared in shock. What did she just hear? There was something wrong with her ears. There must be. Maybe it was the way she had turned that was wrong. "What... you..." she couldn’t even construct a complete statement and kept stammering.
It was only later that she found her voice. "You’re kidding, right?"
"Yes."
"What?" Cheng Yu glared at him. She had just freaked the hell out her by suddenly declaring that he liked her and before she could process it, he was saying that it was a joke?
"That’s what you expected me to say-that I like you, right?" Cedric grinned at her, making her unable to say a word for a while.
