Chapter 449: Chapter 261: The First Day of the New Year, Return to Qinghe
Pei Muchan was completely wrapped up in his words, one moment talking about the Spring Festival Gala, another moment about the album.
Suddenly, when he unexpectedly said he liked her, she became utterly disoriented.
She suddenly realized that this man was really cunning, not mentioning it earlier or later but choosing to say he liked her just as they were parting, only five kilometers away from the airport.

At best, she had ten minutes to react.
The criminal of the arson in her heart was fearless, killing without burying, half an hour ago he was still saying his mind was a bit muddled. It seemed intentional, spouting one thing after another.
Talking about not being able to part with, liking…
He was never proactive usually, but as soon as there was downtime, he would start… It was a bit too cunning. He always did this, their interactions were a mutual game of outwitting each other.
Their love was like warfare, unashamedly manipulating emotions. Using various tactics and schemes, entering into the game with their bodies to trap each other’s words, exchanging intentions with intentions.
“I… the day before yesterday in my hometown in Shanxi, there was not a single tree on the roadside that didn’t light up,” Pei Muchan lowered her eyes and said, her voice clear and audible, “just suddenly wished to let you see it too…”
“Then why didn’t you tell me until now?” he said.
“The day before yesterday, I wanted to come to Changan to tell you.” She pursed her lips, turned her head to look at him, “When I arrived in Changan, I felt less eager to say it.”
Pei Muchan’s reply was subtle, implying that she didn’t come to Changan just because she had nothing better to do. A girl’s thoughts were complex, but when laid bare, they were finer than a needle and thread.
Xu Qingyan’s eyes were slightly lowered, his expression unchanged. He remained silent and drove on, his gaze looking into the distance, as if he hadn’t heard anything, though in fact, he was pondering what to say.
Last time he had cited “why not give it a try,” and at that time Pei Muchan’s response was to give her some time. Although Xu Qingyan deliberately retreated to advance, he could use this trick at most once.
After pondering for a good while, he opened his mouth and changed the subject.
“If it’s not possible this year, then next year. Actually, I am more curious about how you dance than about the lanterns. I searched online before… But didn’t find anything.”
Pei Muchan choked up on her words, not expecting him to suddenly bring up dancing.
“I can’t dance.”
“Really? But I saw you constantly scrolling through dance videos last time?” Xu Qingyan had known she could dance for a long time but had never mentioned it until now.
“I’m not good at it… not as good as Wang Duling,” she said, biting her lower lip.
Pei Muchan also danced classical dance. As for how good it was, he had not seen. But he had seen Wang Duling dance, graceful as a drifting swan, and beautifully lithe.
“She has won the Magnolia Award, a professional player, no comparison with her,” Xu Qingyan said, “I didn’t really watch her dance; anyway, it’s not as good as yours.”
“You spied on me?” Pei Muchan became instantly nervous.
“Hmm?” Xu Qingyan instantly caught on.
So the empty office on the second floor of the studio was designed for dancing? Sneaking dances while he was away?
“Ah, didn’t see clearly,” he said vaguely, “but you danced pretty well. I, for one, haven’t seen many people dance, so you’re unique.”
Pei Muchan, feeling somewhat bashful from his words, dropped a line.
“Next time, dance for you?”
“Sure, come back after the New Year.” Xu Qingyan didn’t take it too seriously, ‘next time for sure’—he didn’t know how many times he had said those words, “the airport is almost here.”
Five minutes later.
Their conversation came to an abrupt end, and the luggage passed from Xu Qingyan’s hands to Pei Muchan’s. She didn’t leave right away, still an hour before boarding.
“With so many people, the security check will take a long time. Aren’t you going in?” he asked.
“I’ve checked in online.”
Pei Muchan reached up to adjust her mask, her face not showing it, but her heart pounding. Parting required saying something, or else it always felt something was missing.
The conversation in the car left her own heart in confusion, followed by Xu Qingyan’s random banter.
She worried that if he didn’t understand, and it would be awkward to explain it directly.
But if she didn’t respond clearly, in case he… later on it would be troublesome too. She wasn’t truly without desires and fears, she could be vulnerable, and she had emotions too.
Yet, her throat felt jammed, and she couldn’t say a word.
“Oh, okay,” Xu Qingyan replied calmly, having said all that needed to be said.
Pei Muchan hesitated for a moment, then pulled Xu Qingyan behind a pillar where no one was watching. She pulled down her mask and frowned at him for a while.
“You understand, right?”
“What?”
Pei Muchan was instantly speechless, her breathing fluctuated for a while before calming down. She didn’t want to be so blunt, but then thought it was necessary.
He was as cunning as an eel, retreating after that sentence.
“I also…”
She was still holding onto Xu Qingyan’s hand, took a deep breath, and then said.
“I also like… you.”
After speaking, she let go of his hand, turned abruptly, and dragged her white suitcase away.
Xu Qingyan stood behind, looking astonished, watching her receding figure, and couldn’t help but scratch his face. He thought Pei Muchan was too shy to speak up, but she had managed to say it.
Not easy at all.
He stood there for a while, his gaze passing the airport entrance, watching Pei Muchan step onto the escalator before he turned to leave.
So tired, time to go back to sleep!
Pei Muchan was still distracted while checking in her luggage, passed through security in a daze, walked through the corridor, and when she reached the boarding gate, she still hadn’t quite recovered.
The boarding gate wasn’t open yet, she sat on a nearby seat waiting, looking somewhat absent-minded.
She closed her eyes slightly, memories of the past half a year surfacing in her mind. Starting with the summer romance show, she couldn’t help feeling how swiftly time had flied.
Some changes happened too fast, making her feel a bit surreal.
