Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 113: Official Status
Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Official Status
"Can you not do that again? It’s very risky and could cost you your life." She advised after a short silence.
"Sorry, I can’t promise you that." Ye Xuan replied.
If he saw her in danger again, he would protect her no matter what.
Chu Miao looked at him again and seeing the resoluteness in his eyes, she knew that he meant what he said.
"Then at least, can you give me a chance to protect myself before you take action? If you see that I am in danger and can’t protect myself, only then can you make a move." Chu Miao compromised and proposed a condition she thought was acceptable for both of them.
"No." It was a concise answer given in a very serious tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Miao was also getting frustrated.
What did he mean by ’no’? Why couldn’t he let her protect herself? She wasn’t some damsel in distress.
"If I watch you fall in danger and wait until you can’t protect yourself, then it would be too late for me to take action. You would be hurt by then. I don’t want to see you hurt. Not even a little." Ye Xuan also explained his reasoning.
Chu Miao didn’t know what to say to that. If she saw someone she cared about in danger, even if it was just Ye Xuan himself, she would react like him and protect him.
So, she couldn’t argue about a decision she would make herself if she was in the same situation.
Ye Xuan looked at the frustrated expression on the girl’s face and found it amusing.
He took a step towards her and took her hand. He held the hand that was so much smaller than his and so soft and softened both his expression and tone.
"Miao, I will be honest with you. I like you and I want what is best for you, that includes you being safe, and if I have to get hurt to ensure your safety, then I will not hesitate.
I have suffered worse injuries while on missions to save strangers I didn’t even know. So, why can’t I take a small injury to protect the woman I love?
Don’t feel burdened. This is my choice. I promise to be more careful in the future and try not to get hurt while protecting you, but you need to understand me.
For you, I don’t mind getting hurt." Ye Xuan finally said what was in his heart.
He knew that confessing his feelings so abruptly might backfire if Chu Miao was not ready, but he couldn’t wait any longer. This was a good opportunity and he decided to take a gamble.
Chu Miao looked into those dark eyes that only had her in them and felt her heart begin to race again.
This was the first time someone had confessed to her with such sincerity. Feeling the warmth coming from his hand and remembering the feeling she had when he hugged her before. She wanted to try being with him. She knew that she was making this decision on impulse but she knew that she would not regret it.
Ye Xuan looked at the pure eyes looking at him and hesitated to say the rest of the words. But he soon plucked his courage and decided to say everything now. If the atmosphere was ruined, then he didn’t know when he would get another chance.
"Chu Miao, I know that the world is ending and surviving is the most important thing right now. However, since we are still alive, life shouldn’t just be about survival, we should try to live the best life we can regardless of the circumstances.
If we can find happiness, then we should grab it and enjoy it while we are still alive.
What I am trying to say is, will be my girlfriend? I will try everything I can to make you happy. If there is anything you need from me, just let me know and I will fulfill it." He finally confessed everything and asked her to be his girlfriend.
He hoped that she wouldn’t think he was asking because he had saved her. Because if that happens, then things will be bad.
Chu Miao had known for a while that Ye Xuan had feelings for her, but she had not expected his feelings to be so deep.
She had also developed feelings for him and was ready to try being in a relationship with him, but she hadn’t expected him to ask her so directly.
However, this was good too. She would just follow her heart.
She looked into Ye Xuan’s eyes and could feel the nervousness he was feeling. Even his hand had become somewhat sweaty, which shows that he placed great importance to her answer.
She was not one of those girls who acted coy just because a guy confessed to her or wanted to make herself seem hard to get.
If she liked a guy then she liked him and would do her best to improve their relationship and to make it work.
So, since she had already decided to be with Ye Xuan, she didn’t hesitate.
"Yes, I will." She agreed with a smile.
Ye Xuan was shocked by her straightforward answer. He knew that she wouldn’t act coy if she had made her decision since she was such a decisive character with a strong personality, but he didn’t expect her to agree so easily.
But this made him even happier. He had made the right decision by confessing.
His smile became bigger and more sincere. It was as if the sun had finally shone after a long period of gloominess. Even Chu Miao felt her heart brighten from the smile.
"Thank you for accepting me. You will not regret it. I will do everything in my power to make you happy." Ye Xuan said as he let go of her hand and hugged her tightly.
This time he was hugging her as her boyfriend, not just a random friend or teammate.
This new status made him want to fly.
Chu Miao also had a warm smile on her lips. She felt different with a boyfriend. She didn’t know if it was psychological, but she felt happier.
