Newly Couple (Chapter 151)
"Of course..."
Ye Sheng felt her heart beating wildly at this moment, her extreme nervousness making her mouth dry and her words stammered. It seemed like her brain capacity had changed, becoming muddled and unclear.
Her secret crush had been exposed!!!
And in the presence of the person involved.
Reason had vanished at this moment, leaving only instinct.
Immediately, Ye Sheng wanted to calm her agitated emotions but failed miserably. Her heart continued to pound as she went on, "I’m serious! Gu Luoyu, I like you. I’ve had feelings for you since the first moment I saw you!"
"At that time, I was on the brink of starvation. Though I kept encouraging myself, deep down, I had already despaired of life. I didn’t know when I would die, feeling utterly lonely and lost."
Even though a long time had passed, Ye Sheng still remembered it vividly.
Back then, she had just arrived in the wasteland world, unaccustomed to the environment. Due to the apocalypse, she, an ordinary person, felt she couldn’t survive.
But she couldn’t bring herself to commit suicide either, so she just clung to life, refusing to give up until the very end.
Scavenging for food in the garbage dump was her last resort. If she couldn’t find anything edible, she, who had already gone hungry for two days, would surely die... But then, she miraculously found a box of nutrient solution, allowing her to live a few more days.
However, the surprises didn’t end there.
After that, Ye Sheng discovered the severely injured Gu Luoyu.
"When I saw your grievously injured self, though reason told me you might be a dangerous person and I shouldn’t approach, perhaps it was the allure of the super-intelligent wristband, or maybe my own selfishness, but in the end, I inexplicably brought you home! At that moment, I fell in love with you at first sight."
On the surface, it seemed like she had saved Gu Luoyu, but in reality, it was Gu Luoyu who had accompanied her.
Helping her integrate into this wasteland world faster.
As for the love at first sight being just about looks, appearance is also a part of attraction. Ye Sheng didn’t consider herself a noble person who only valued inner beauty...
Her love for Gu Luoyu began with his looks but was sealed by his gentleness!
Thinking of all this, Ye Sheng had done her best to express her feelings completely. This opportunity was a one-time thing, and she didn’t want to miss it.
After all, she hadn’t originally planned to confess so soon, but the opportunity had presented itself!
So, she had to give it a try.
What if it worked out?
o(////▽////)o
"Is that so..."
After hearing Ye Sheng’s earnest confession, Gu Luoyu gently raised an eyebrow.
She thought Ye Sheng’s intuition was quite sharp.
She was indeed a dangerous person.
As for Ye Sheng’s feelings, Gu Luoyu wasn’t oblivious; she had noticed them long ago... But since Ye Sheng had been hesitant to break through the final barrier, Gu Luoyu had pretended not to know.
Back then, she only had a fondness for Ye Sheng.
Not like now, where the more she looked at her, the cuter she seemed, as if she had a special filter over her.
Gu Luoyu wasn’t the type to deceive herself. Given the current situation, her possessiveness towards Ye Sheng had grown stronger.
She cared more, and sometimes her emotions would change rapidly, making her feel unlike her usual self.
Thinking about how well she got along with Ye Sheng, and no longer harbored any thoughts of killing her...
Then, staying by Ye Sheng’s side, even under a different identity, would be fine...
As Gu Luoyu made her decision, Ye Sheng grew even more nervous, taking shallow breaths to distract herself, but failing once again!
Why did the conversation just stop?
She was still waiting for an answer!
Would it be accepted or not? She was still waiting!!!
Just as Ye Sheng’s mind was racing with thoughts, Gu Luoyu finally moved. Sitting in the driver’s seat, she leaned forward, closing the distance between them until they were face to face, able to clearly see each other’s expressions.
Staring at Ye Sheng’s flushed cheeks and watery eyes due to extreme nervousness, the affection in Gu Luoyu’s heart seemed to solidify. The words she had intended to say got stuck, and after a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "Ye Sheng, thank you for your affection."
However, this standard prelude to rejection, just short of handing out a "good person" card, made Ye Sheng feel as if her heart had stopped. The blush on her face quickly faded, replaced by pallor. She bit her lower lip hard to suppress the sourness in her heart, but her eyes remained stubbornly red as she looked at Gu Luoyu.
She regretted confessing.
If she had held back, they could still have been companions, friends living together.
If Gu Luoyu didn’t like her and chose to leave to avoid awkwardness... Just the thought made Ye Sheng feel even worse, her heart aching with pain.
Just as Ye Sheng was grieving, the final judgment she was waiting for didn’t come. Gu Luoyu’s earlier words clearly hadn’t meant what she thought: "You’re still young, with not much experience. Maybe your feelings for me are just a momentary impulse. Regardless, you need to know that I’m an Esper!"
At this point, Gu Luoyu smiled at Ye Sheng, pretending not to notice her changes, sparing her dignity.
She continued, "Everyone in the base knows that besides being powerful, Espers inevitably face a suicidal end. Though my condition is stable for now, I don’t know when I might have an episode, and it could harm you."
"If you choose to be with me, you’ll have to bear the possibility of severe changes, even life-threatening ones! So, I hope you can think it over carefully. You don’t need to give me an answer now; take a few days to calm down and reflect."
Gu Luoyu had initially wanted to nod and agree directly.
After all, Ye Sheng was hers.
Agreeing right away wouldn’t be a big deal.
But after sensing Ye Sheng’s affection for her, those words suddenly became hard to say... Thus, the dreaded Erensu herself, Gu Luoyu, began to consider someone else’s feelings.
A change that would shock everyone if it were known.
Meanwhile, Ye Sheng, who had received Gu Luoyu’s special favor, revived instantly upon hearing that it wasn’t a "good person" card.
Even though Gu Luoyu suggested she take a few days to think, it didn’t dampen her enthusiasm.
As long as Gu Luoyu hadn’t rejected her, she was filled with motivation.
The possibility of severe harm from being with an Esper wasn’t something Ye Sheng was unaware of. But living in the post-apocalyptic wasteland world, who knew when an accident might happen?
Why always seek stability?
Having experienced countless life-and-death crises in the wasteland, each time gritting her teeth and pulling through, Ye Sheng, who had originally lived in a peaceful world, had gradually changed her mindset.
Though she didn’t indulge in hedonistic pleasures like others, she no longer followed the rules strictly, instead living according to her own desires.
Therefore, she would never give up on her feelings for Gu Luoyu, no matter how many days she had to wait.
Thus, considering = agreeing, which meant they were officially a couple!!!
A fresh new couple had just been born~
