Chapter 083 Tell Me You Love Me

  83?

  "This girl has a compassionate and merciful heart, can't bear to see others suffer, do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you?" Xi Xi raised an eyebrow in response to Chen Yan's indifference.

  "You're reluctant to let me get rained on, aren't you?" Chen Yan's mouth curved up and he smiled mischievously.

  One sentence hit Xia Xixi's heart, was it that she couldn't bear to part with him? She didn't want to admit it, and immediately jumped up: "Got it, who do you think you are?" As she spoke, she opened the door from the stairwell to the rooftop, only opening a small gap. The wind brought in rainwater, and Xia Xixi took a few steps forward, pushing Chen Yan towards the door: "If you want to get rained on, go out and get rained on! You're not pursuing some kind of freedom? In the stormy weather, it's the freest!"

  Chen Yan did not resist her movements, but instead followed her push and pull, approaching the door. At this time, the rain showed no signs of abating, and the floor at the entrance, where the big gate was open, had accumulated a pool of water in just an instant. Under such circumstances, going out would get him soaked in an instant.

  Xia Xi Xi pushed Chen Yan with all her might, and half of his body was already outside the door. The rain quickly soaked through his shirt, but he didn't dodge, instead laughing out loud and reaching out to grab Xia Xi Xi's arm, trying to pull her into the rain as well.

  "Let go! I don't want to get rained on." Xia Xi Xi grasped the door handle with her backhand, pulling it backward with all her might. She still couldn't avoid getting half of her clothes wet. The cold rainwater dispelled the summer heat, but she didn't feel refreshed at all. Instead, her voice trembled as she used all her strength to hold onto the door, "Bastard, don't pull me!"

  She stuck herself tightly to the door and Chen Yan pulled several times but couldn't pull her away.

  Two people were locked in a stalemate, when lightning flashed across the night sky again, and the thunder rumbled like the howl of a giant beast, echoing between heaven and earth, making one's heart involuntarily filled with fear.

  Chen Yan finally let go of his hand, retreated back to the stairwell, closed the door, and isolated himself from the wild storm outside.

  His short hair, washed clean, shone with a soft luster under the lamp. His clothes clung tightly to his body, revealing his young and sturdy physique. He was soaked from head to toe, water dripping down all over him, forming small puddles at his feet.

  Xia Xixi, who had just calmed down, saw Chen Yan's disheveled appearance and burst out laughing while pointing at the puddle of water under his feet. Her own situation wasn't much better, with her clothes almost completely soaked from the waist down near the door, but as long as there was one dry spot left on her body, she would consider it a victory.

  Chen Yan wiped the water from his face, a sly glint flashing in his eyes as he suddenly pounced on Xia Xi, stretching out his long arm to wrap her in a tight embrace, pressing his wet clothes against her body.

  "Get out! Stinky rascal!" Xia Xi's anger burned, her hands and feet flailing in resistance, her fists pounding against Chen Yan's solid chest like a gentle spring rain, having no effect whatsoever. Originally planning to "beat the fallen dog", she didn't expect to be counterattacked by him instead. The more she struggled, the tighter Chen Yan held her, until even the last dry spot on her body was soaked by the water stains on his clothes.

  Fighting was indeed a physically demanding task, and after resisting for a long time, Xia Xixi finally couldn't hold on any longer and leaned against Chen Yan's shoulder, allowing him to tightly hug her. Both of their clothes were already soaked through, the icy coldness of the rainwater no match for the scorching heat of their bodies, which seemed to be burning like fire as they stuck together.

  Chen Yan's hand tightened again, as if he wanted to crush Xia Xi into his bones. Her clear breathing beside him made it impossible for him to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

  In the summer, her clothes were already thin, and after getting rained on, they became almost transparent. He could clearly feel her softness pressed against him, and the sweet fragrance from her hair was enough to destroy all his rationality.

  In Chen Yan's arms, time seemed to have stopped its footsteps, Xia Xi only heard her own heartbeat: boom, boom, boom, like the thunder outside the door.

  After a while, Chen Yan changed his posture to hold her, with their foreheads against each other and the tips of their noses touching. The water from his hair dripped onto her chest one drop at a time, making Xia Xi's entire heart feel moist as well. Her body felt light and airy, as if she could fly away the moment Chen Yan loosened his grip.

  "Xia Xi," Chen Yan's warm breath landed on her cheek, scorching and hot, as if this heat could evaporate the moisture in her heart, "Say you love me."

  His breathing grew more and more urgent, but his lips hesitated, as if waiting for her answer.

  Xia Xi had a moment of daze, she heard her own voice trembling, murmuring: "I..."?

  Outside was another clap of thunder, her body paused for a moment, had an instant clarity, and suddenly pushed open Chen Yan.

  What a close call, almost got confused.

  "How is that possible?" She smiled with the corners of her mouth, and her heart, which had been floating in mid-air, gently fell back to its original place. "Do you think it's that easy to win against me?"

  "Does winning or losing really matter?" Chen Yan's handsome face stood out in the dim light, his voice hinting at a sense of loss. He was just one step away from touching her warm and beating heart, just one step away from reason surrendering to emotion. And between them, it would always be just that one step short.

  "Why ask yourself, what's the point of being so calculating and not compromising?" Xi Xi retorted back, her momentary confusion replaced by her usual stubbornness.

  Chen Yan remained silent, while Xia Xi's words poured out like a machine gun: "Since you say winning or losing is not important, then just surrender. One sentence, three words: Chen Yan, do you dare to say it?"

  Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, responding to Xia Xi's questioning with a casual smile. At the moment when reason occupied the high ground, those three words would forever be left unspoken.

  Facing Xia Xixi, he often feels bewildered. To him, she is an extremely unique existence, neither enemy nor friend, always effortlessly shattering his complacent "as I thought", causing the hidden ** to burst out of his heart.

  His possessiveness was surprisingly strong when it came to her, and he couldn't help but want to hold her tightly in his arms like just now, not letting anyone else get close.

  She is a danger beyond her own rational control, she is an enticement, an irresistible whirlpool drawing herself in.

  But the freedom he wanted was one without restraints.

  "There's nothing to say." The boiling blood on his body cooled down, and his emotions returned to calmness. His complex and profound gaze was cast on her, revealing a stubborn light.

  Xia Xi smiled in response, they all loved winning more than loving love itself, in this gamble constantly exposing their narrow selfishness, although there was a stir in their hearts, they stubbornly refused to back down.

  The relationship between the two people fell into an impasse again, Xia Xi turned around and went downstairs. She really needed to calm down and think carefully about whether this gamble was worth continuing. You can search for "冤家校草不易解?哈十八" on Baidu to find the latest updates of this book!
