Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1845 - 1844: Then Can I Kiss You?
Di Mingchen spoke, his eyes gradually dimming as he lowered his gaze and forced a smile, "Alright, I’ve said what I wanted to say. I’m leaving."
After saying this, he turned and left, with a firm resolve and no hint of nostalgia.
Nangong Ran was stunned, watching his tall figure stride with confidence, yet there was a sense of bleakness and loneliness.
"Di Mingchen!" Nangong Ran suddenly called out.
He turned to look at her.
The warm winter sun cast on his face had an indefinable taste, calm as a mountain, deep as the sea.
Nangong Ran looked at him and suddenly shouted, "Are we still the same as before?"
Di Mingchen looked at her, squinted slightly, nodded without hesitation, and answered loudly, "The same."
"Then can I smoke in front of you?" Nangong Ran stepped forward and asked.
"You can." Di Mingchen still nodded without hesitation.
"Can we smoke a cigarette together?" Nangong Ran stepped forward again.
"Sure." Di Mingchen nodded.
"Then can I borrow money from you?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"You can."
"Can I ask you to help me in a fight?"
"You can."
"Can I do whatever I want with you?" Nangong Ran stood in front of him.
He was so tall that she had to look up slightly to see him.
Looking into her eyes, Di Mingchen paused for a moment but eventually nodded, "As long as it’s a best friend thing, it’s fine."
"Then can I kiss you?" Nangong Ran stared at him, not knowing why she blurted out those words.
She was startled by her words.
Di Mingchen was clearly stunned too, completely not knowing how to respond.
Nangong Ran suddenly felt awkward, extremely awkward!!
Di Mingchen had made it clear that he just wanted to be friends with her!
Yet she asked such an awkward question...
Nangong Ran suddenly felt very nervous, maybe to resolve and cover up the awkwardness, impulsively, she stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on Di Mingchen’s lips.
Di Mingchen was even more dumbfounded.
Nangong Ran was awkward and helpless, so she fumbled and said, "I meant just a friendly kiss, not in that way."
Di Mingchen looked at her, his deep eyes filled with complex emotions.
Seeing her awkward and helpless explanation, there was a moment when an almost uncontrollable impulse rose from his heart.
He wanted to hold her, and without further ado, carry her home.
But he didn’t, just looked at her, finally nodded, "If it’s like that, then it’s okay."
Nangong Ran: "..."
This is really so shameless!
Nangong Ran was confused for a moment and didn’t want to figure it out.
So she nodded, "Oh, I understand."
Di Mingchen looked at her for two seconds and finally said, "Then I’m leaving now."
He turned and left, Nangong Ran watched him, her hands clenched into fists, but couldn’t help asking behind his back, "Can we still be as happy as before?"
Di Mingchen turned back again and confidently answered, "Just like before."
Nangong Ran smiled brightly like spring.
Di Mingchen’s gaze landed on her, "Alright, go inside, it’s cold outside."
"Okay." Nangong Ran responded, then turned and went back inside.
Neither looked back.
...
Meanwhile, early in the morning, Gu Qibao and her two friends planned to surprise Nangong Ran and Di Mingchen.
Unexpectedly, they arrived to find no one there, assuming the two were shy, decided it was best not to disturb them, and left it at that.
