Chapter 68.3: 告白

[Confession]

---

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who looked at himself just like that, dumbfounded. Without much expression, Gu Lang continued, “Although I possess nothing except bare necessities and now I only have this useless status of Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination) as well as this dilapidated house.”

 

Saying this, Gu Lang seemed to feel embarrassed himself, and his face showed a few not-so-nice awkward expressions to come, as if he was bracing himself to say, “But, I promise to be good to you.”

 

If someone else said these kinds of words, they would probably be treated as an emotional liar who had nothing but empty words. However, when Gu Lang said these words, Chen Xing only felt as if his heart was about to burst through his chest immediately, leaving him at a loss as to how to conduct himself.

 

God ah! Gu Lang had actually confessed to him! Gu Lang had really confessed to him! Gu Lang had actually confessed to him!!!

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s lack of response for half a day. His face gradually revealed an expression of loss as he looked at Chen Xing and said with a little bit of embarrassment, “If you find it difficult, then just take it as if I hadn’t said these words today. After all, you’re so good that it won’t be difficult to find a husband several times better than me in the future.”

 

 

Saying this, Gu Lang lowered his head, the candle flame spilling onto half of the side of his face, looking sad and lonely, looking like a poor guy who had managed to muster up the courage to confess to his beloved, but ended up calling it quits because of his own poor condition.

 

Chen Xing looked at his lonely look and immediately came back to his senses, shouting towards him, “You’re very nice.”

 

Gu Lang did not raise his head, and his ever so gentle voice took on a few moments of silence, “You don’t need to comfort me.”

 

Chen Xing is anxious already.

 

Gu Lang raised his head towards Chen Xing and revealed a fragile yet strong expression, the despondency on his face was unmistakable, “Well, just take what I said today as a joke, you don’t have to care. It’s getting late, so you should rest early.”

 

Chen Xing’s heart instantly ached at the sight of that fragile look on Gu Lang’s face, as if he was about to cry right away. Who could stand by helplessly and watch a beauty be sad? He couldn’t do it anyway.

 

At this moment, looking at Gu Lang’s sad departure’s appearance, Chen Xing was even more unable to hold back his heart, and when he was about to turn around, he instantly tugged (grasp firmly) on his sleeve and said loudly, “I promise you.”

 

By the time Chen Xing had finished saying this, a few seconds of embarrassment surfaced on his face, as if he felt that he had said it too quickly and too loudly.

 

Gu Lang, who had already turned around, at that moment, there was nothing fragile on his face, it was clearly an expression of having his way.

 

Just when Chen Xing was annoyed to collect the money, the moment he wondered if he was too unreserved, Gu Lang had already turned around, looked at him with a sad face, and said strongly, “You don’t have to force yourself.”

 

“I’m not forcing myself.” Looking at Gu Lang like this, Chen Xing, although he didn’t admit it, still said it in a different way.

 

Gu Lang seemed to believe his words, and a delighted expression appeared on his face, then all of a sudden hugged Chen Xing, the moment he didn’t react back and said in a warm voice, “I know, all of a sudden, you can’t accept it at thr moment, but we can take it slowly.”

 

Chen Xing was affected for a moment, did not break free, and gave a soft ‘Hn.’ with a red face.

 

Moreover the look on Gu Lang’s face had long since thrown off its original fragility, changing back to its original appearance, looking at the person in his embrace with a few more points of determination to win.
