NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13.2 – Do You Like Me
At first, Chen Ling thought she was playing with him, but seeing her so happy expression, it didn’t seem like it, so he dismissed the thought of saying anything to her. Never mind, as long as you’re happy.
If it were anyone else, Chen Ling wouldn’t care at all.
“Chen Ling!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I miss you so much!”
Chen Ling turned his head and glanced at her, finding her looking at him with a sincere expression. Just like years ago, when she had a sincere look wanting to know his name. Her face was saying: Do you miss me?
Chen Ling: “I don’t miss you.”
“Aww…” Immediately, Sui Li’er’s little mouth pouted.
“That’s not true… Actually… I’ve missed you so much…” Chen Ling smirked.
“Really?” Upon hearing that, Sui Li’er couldn’t be happier.
Chen Ling looked at her, witnessing her emotional changes like that of a child, and sighed in his heart.
He could understand, after longing for so long, she finally got what she longed for. She was so happy that she couldn’t control her emotions anymore. Thinking about it, he found her even more adorable. In due time, she should return to normal.
“Are you hungry?”
“Em… Ah!” Suddenly, Sui Li’er remembered something. “I lost the food you gave me before…”
After saying that, she looked at Chen Ling with some guilt. Then she had a bit of confusion: “Was it you who gave it to me?”
Chen Ling nodded, about to say something, but Sui Li’er smiled happily: “I knew it was you…”
“Then why didn’t you come out at first? I called for so long…”
Of course, Chen Ling couldn’t tell her that he was nervous. That would be too embarrassing… Instead, he changed the subject: “What do you want to eat?”
“Em… I’m not hungry… Thanks… hehe.” After saying that, she smiled cutely at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling kept his eyes fixed ahead the whole time, not daring to look at Sui Li’er. This girl was dangerous, just one glance at her eyes and he couldn’t look away.
“So why didn’t you come out?”
“Uh…” Chen Ling suddenly became speechless, failing to change the subject.
“You brought me food, I called for you, but you didn’t come out…”
“And later, you even saved me, I called for you…” As she said that, Sui Li’er suddenly remembered being naked last night while bathing. It made her face instantly blush.
“Cough… Chen Ling… How long will you stay this time?” This time she herself changed the subject. While speaking, she secretly glanced at him: Did he see everything?
And then she lowered her head to look at her own chest. For some reason, she suddenly had a feeling of frustration with herself for not being able to live up to expectations….
Did he really see everything? How did he help me put on those clothes yesterday?
Sui Li’er couldn’t help but look up at Chen Ling. She felt a nervousness as if she was afraid of exposing her inner thoughts, and her ears felt hot. She quickly used her cold hands to cool herself down.
Chen Ling happened to turn his head, thinking about what to say to her. How long should he stay here? He didn’t know either.
Sui Li’er thought he was looking at her, which made her even more embarrassed…
What’s wrong? Why do you keep looking at me like this… Is there something on my face? Did I become ugly?
Sui Li’er had no idea what she looked like anymore. Before the curse took effect, she never really looked in the mirror, she just remembered that people would always compliment her looks.
After the curse took effect, she couldn’t see herself anymore. She had no concept of how she looked.
“Did… I become ugly?” Sui Li’er asked with fear.
Chen Ling shook his head without saying a word.
Sui Li’er felt relieved when she saw his reaction… Thank goodness, as long as I’m not ugly!
“Then why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?”
Chen Ling said calmly, “Don’t you want others to see you? Isn’t this fulfilling your wish?”
After speaking, he turned away and sat facing her. His eyes were fixed on her.
“Oh…” Sui Li’er covered her face, revealing only one eye. She blinked and looked at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling decided to tease her: “Put your hand down. Why are you being so timid now?”
“I won’t!”
“I came here specifically to see you, and you won’t let me see? Then why did I come…”
Sui Li’er still refused to release her hand covering her face and turned her face away: “Then you wait… I’ll… get ready!”
“Oh, by the way… What do I look like now?” Sui Li’er was genuinely curious about her appearance now.
Chen Ling replied: “Put your hand down. Am I supposed to imagine it out of thin air?”
“But… but you’ve seen it…”
“I forgot.”
“I don’t believe you!”
Chen Ling smiled: “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
“You’re lying…” Sui Li’er wanted to know, but she couldn’t do anything about Chen Ling. She could only sigh softly and stop asking him.
Chen Ling smiled and stopped teasing her. He casually said, “Ah… You actually look quite beautiful.”
“Huh? What did you say?” Sui Li’er’s face lit up with a happy expression as she let go of her hand, coyly pressing her lips together. A delightful blush spread across her cheeks, accentuating their cute and rosy appearance, revealing her joy.
She wanted to hear Chen Ling say those words again. It seemed that when others said it, it didn’t sound as sweet as when he said it.
“Um…” Chen Ling’s face turned red. It was the first time he had complimented another girl. “I didn’t say anything.”
“Say it again, please… I didn’t hear it clearly.” Sui Li’er looked at him expectantly.
“You heard it perfectly fine.” Chen Ling didn’t even look at her, pretending to be indifferent.
“I didn’t! Hmph…”
“Oh, then let me say it again. I said you’re ugly.”
“What you said just now wasn’t that!” Sui Li’er gritted her teeth in anger.
“You see, you did hear it. You heard it clearly, yet you still want me to repeat it.” After Chen Ling finished speaking, he remained silent, refusing to say it a second time.
Sui Li’er muttered under her breath when she saw that Chen Ling wouldn’t say it again. But deep down, she was still very happy. Chen Ling praised me for being beautiful!
“Do you like me, then!?”
Chen Ling was taken aback, looking at her with confusion. The smile on Sui Li’er’s face gradually froze, and her face quickly turned red.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Oh no…
What did I just ask?
