Huang Yize’s distant expression turned soft. He sat by her side and hugged her. “It’s dark, so no one will see you cry. I know that you’ve been pretending to be happy even after suffering a lot. When you fought with Zuoqiu Zimei earlier, did you feel very helpless and upset?”
Yun Bilu batted her eyelashes, and her heart quivered. “How did you know?”
“We’ve been together for so long. Do you still think I can’t read your mind? Besides, your feelings are written all over your face.”
“It shows that I’m not good at putting up a pretense.”
Huang Yize caressed her cheeks and said, “You don’t have to put up a front with me. Just be yourself.”
Yun Bilu shook her head. “Actually, I’m just a little sad, and I know it’ll soon pass. I feel much better with you here.”
“Yes, and I’ll try my best to be by your side in the future.”
Yun Bilu’s eyes lit up. “Are you saying that you’ll bring me along to the Black Dragon Gang?”
“You still have to go to school.”
“I’m talking about the holidays. Also, I assure you that I’ll talk less and work more if I return with you. I won’t get into trouble, and I’ll learn together with you…” Yun Bilu noticed that Huang Yize seemed to have let down his guard and hurriedly made a spate of promises.
Huang Yize’s aura changed. After a long while, he finally answered, “We’ll discuss again after the new year.”
His reply sounded much better than an outright rejection, so Yun Bilu was satisfied and pleased to hear that.
The fireworks went on for a few hours.
Huang Yize felt that she had cheered up significantly and finally brought her back to the villa.
After taking a shower, Yun Bilu laid on her bed. Watching the snow outside, she thought that it was exceptionally beautiful.
However, she tossed and turned, and she couldn’t fall asleep. She missed her elder sister and wanted to spend the new year with her, but she couldn’t bear to part with Huang Yize.
In her pajamas, Yun Bilu went to the study to look for Huang Yize.
“Huang Yize, are you free?”
“Do I need to be free to talk to you?”
“I have something to say. If you’re free, you can consider my proposal, but if you’re not, just ignore me.”
Huang Yize stood up and pulled Yun Bilu into the room. He poured her a glass of warm water and said, “Even if I’m busy, I still won’t ignore you!”
“I’m just afraid that you’ll reject my proposal.”
Huang Yize wanted to playfully hit her head, but seeing the bruises on her face, he caressed her cheeks instead. “What is it?”
“If I go home, I’ll miss you so much. Do you want to come home with me for the new year?”
“That’s it?”
“Yes, but it’s really important to me.”
Seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, Huang Yize couldn’t bear to reject her. However, he did have several important matters on hand. Moreover, he had to make arrangements for the Black Dragon Gang for the new year.
He did want to spend the new year with this girl, but he couldn’t bring her back to the Black Dragon Gang now, even if he wasn’t afraid that it would hurt her. However, he could still consider going to her house instead.
Although he couldn’t bear to reject her, he couldn’t agree blindly too, so he merely said, “Let me think about it.”
Yun Bilu stood up immediately. Placing the cup of water by the side, she tiptoed and hugged Huang Yize. Kissing him at the corner of his lips, she said, “You must think about it carefully, okay?”
Huang Yize’s lips quivered as he said, “Okay.”
