Chapter Thirteen: Unfamiliar Feelings

  "If I become handsome, will Hye-jin like me?"

  "Luó Zhēn......?"

  "If I become really handsome, will Hye-jin like me?" He grasped my shoulder tightly and asked, staring at me fixedly.

  "I..."

  His sudden question left me at a loss for words, his gaze made my heart beat faster inexplicably.

  Seeing me not responding, a hint of pain flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, and although it was just for an instant, it slightly pained my heart...

  "Haha... it seems like... it's really not possible..."

  His deliberately concealed sad smile hurts me, the sudden question, the unfamiliar heartache, what does it represent?

  "Luó Zhēn, listen to me, just now I was just joking, I won't fall in love with the transfer student!" I explained softly.

  "It's okay... Hye-jin, your heart is yours to control, isn't it?"

  "Besides, I won't fall for a guy just because of his good looks, Luo Chen you know that, right?"

  "Uh-huh, I know, Hui Zhen doesn't care about a guy's appearance." He gave me a faint smile.

  "And yet! Even if Luo Chen isn't handsome, I would..." As I spoke, I suddenly stopped.

  What am I saying? What do I really want to say? If Luo Xuan becomes very handsome, will I fall in love with him? Will I? If he's still so ordinary, what feelings do I have for him? Me... What's wrong with me...?

  "Hui Zhen...?" He seemed to have heard something and looked at me with some delight.

  "Uh... yeah... that's it..." Ugh, I'm so torn, what am I supposed to say?!

  Luò Zhēn looked at me with a worried expression but couldn't say anything, suddenly, she drew out a brilliant smile.

  Heavens... This is the first time I've seen Luo Xuan smile so radiantly! Why does his ordinary face make me feel like he's so handsome? Ah!!! What's wrong with me?! Heavens... My heart is pounding violently.

  "I understand, Hui Zhen, you don't have to say it!" He stroked my cheek and said softly.

  "Huh? Understand?"

  What does he understand? He understood it? But I still don't get it!

  "Hmm, but I'm not worthy of confessing to you yet, wait for me, I'll come back with a brand new self!" He said firmly.

  "Confess, confession?!" Hearing these two words made my face even hotter, and the pounding in my heart grew stronger.

  "Thank you, Hye-jin, you gave me the courage to change again." He looked at me with sincerity and gratitude.

  Huh? What does this mean again? Why should I thank you? Did I do something? Waaaah... I'm so confused now, I completely don't understand what's going on. What was I trying to say, what did Luo Zhen understand, and what's the flutter in my heart? Who can tell me?! (Xinxin: Haha, you'll slowly understand~; Huizhen: Ah, do you also understand, Xinxin?; Xinxin: Hehe~ Of course I understand~~; Huizhen: Waaaah... why don't I get it?; Xinxin: Hehe~~ Everyone else understands, right?)

  But it's so strange... Seeing his happy smile, my mouth corners also involuntarily rose...
