"Don't you know?"

After a pause,

"I wonder if this means you are wavering."

"......"

Ling Xi's words made Qian Yingxin silent. She couldn't say yes or no because...she wasn't sure.

"Yingxin."

"Um......!!!"

Turning her head, she saw Ling Xi's handsome face right in front of her, making Qian Yingxin's eyes widen in fright.

He, he, he...why are you so close?!!

"Besides surprise, do you have any other feeling?"

"For example?"

"Like, throbbing."

"No."

She answered simply and looked at Ling Xi calmly. Qian Yingxin wrinkled her delicate brows.

What is he thinking? What does this sentence mean?

For Ling Xi, just now, she was frightened and her heart trembled for a moment, but then she calmed down, let alone any palpitations.

"If I were Yi, my heartbeat would be faster, right?"

"certainly."

Isn't that nonsense? Yi is the boy she likes. Her boyfriend is right in front of her, and she is not stupid. How can she not be frightened?

Wait, could he mean...

"So, what if I am Han Ye?"

"...!"

Sure enough...that's what he asked!

"If it throbs, then you just like him. If it doesn't throb, then you have no special feelings for him just like you do for me."

It hit the nail on the head, but it made Qian Yingxin's heart tremble.

She...had indeed been frightened by Han Ye...!

She was not someone who would flutter casually. She had seen many men, and she was no longer shy or unfamiliar. She had no other feelings except plainness, and she had no other feelings, but she had flutters about Han Ye...!

I have been ignoring it, but I have forgotten the simplest explanation!

She has feelings for Han Ye!

"Hey...it seems that I have the answer in my heart."

"Xi..."

"Think carefully about your decision. Don't let two people get hurt for you at the same time. Especially...Yi."

Yi has suffered too much damage, and I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the damage Qian Yingxin has given him anymore.

Zhelan's injury...if Yingxin's injury is added to it...Yi might collapse!

"Um..."

She understood what he meant, and she also understood that she really should make a choice, for their sake and for her own sake.

Qian Yingxin looked at Ling Xi's back, and a warm current of gratitude flowed through her heart...

As Ling Xi left, he couldn't help but raise his arms and caress his chest...

He... actually had a throbbing feeling...?

*****

"Here."

"Thanks!"

Not long after Ling Xi left, Han Ye came back. He didn't see the bad look on Qian Yingxin's face and thought it was due to being frightened in the haunted house.

"Hey, cold night."

"Call me Ye."

"ah?"

"I hope that at least we can be closer in terms of title."

My fiancée always calls him by his first name, which feels a bit uncomfortable.

"okay."

"Yingxin."

"...!!Um..."

Caressing the chest that started to speed up, took a deep breath,

"night..."

It's over, it's really throbbing... It seems that she really likes two men...!!
