Chapter 375: Feng Tianlan’s Confession

Luo Yunzhu shouted from the back, “Tianlan did not mean what she said! She likes you . Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted you to be the first to see her restored looks . ”

Hearing these words, Feng Tianlan ran faster . Si Mobai was in a good mood since he’d allowed her to take him along .

“I was the first to see your restored looks?” Si Mobai smirked . Judging from Luo Yunzhu’s astonishment when she’d seen her best friend, he believed that he indeed was the first to see Lan’er’s restored appearance .

There was no garden in the inn’s backyard, just a little vegetable patch with some seedlings in it .

Feng Tianlan let go of his hand . She looked at the small vegetable seedlings in front of her and pursed her lips . After a while, she nodded and said, “Yes . ”

After receiving this response, Si Mobai raised his eyebrows and smirked . His peach-blossom eyes filled with traces of a smile . It was as if he had glimpsed the world of flowers . There were no words to describe his happiness right now .

“You restored your looks because of me?” Because of his happiness, one could even feel the warmth coming from his usually icy voice .

Si Mobai felt that he was the most blissful man in the world . His affection was finally being returned . Feng Tianlan had feelings for him at last .

Feng Tianlan placed her hand on the fence and said, “Actually, it wasn’t really like that . ” However, there was no denying that he was part of the reason .

She did not bother much about her appearance, beautiful or ugly . She disliked a look that was too pretty because beauty brought trouble . However, now that there was someone whom she liked, she cared about what Si Mobai thought of her looks .

“That’s still because of me,” Si Mobai stepped forward and said . He wanted to hold Feng Tianlan in his arms .

“Don’t move . I have something to tell you . ” Feng Tianlan moved to the side and avoided Si Mobai’s hug . She was afraid that she could not say what she wanted if he was hugging her .

Si Mobai’s arms froze in mid-air . His newfound happiness was instantly cut short . His cheerfully beating heart became anxious all of a sudden . After staying silent for a while, he conceded in a deep voice, “Alright . ”

She’d said that she’d wanted to tell him something since last night . He did not dare guess at what she was about to say .

She grasped the fence, looking at vegetable seedlings, which were standing upright against the wind . She then looked at the small trees with withered leaves in the corner and revisited every single memory she’d shared with Si Mobai since being reborn .

Nothing significant had yet happened between the two of them, but he’d still silently, carefully broken into her world . This was something she could not deny .

The silence made Si Mobai even more nervous . He put down his somewhat moist hands, which were covered in a cold sweat . Thinking about everything they’d been through up until this point, he wanted to laugh . The first time he’d ever killed a human being, he had not even been nervous . He had not been nervous when facing thousands of armies .

However, looking at Feng Tianlan right now was another story . His palms were sweating over some words that she hadn’t even uttered yet . His heart beat wildly, making him felt like he was really a good-for-nothing .

“Si Mobai . ”

Just when Si Mobai thought that they were going to remain in silence forever, Feng Tianlan spoke up .

“Yes,” Si Mobai replied . He was flustered, somehow, because her tone was solemn—just like the countless times before when she’d rejected him .

Feng Tianlan took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and turned around . She raised her head, looked at him, and said, “Thank you . Your liking…”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Si Mobai interrupted her coldly, “Feng Tianlan!”

He didn’t want her to thank him for liking her . Besides, what she was about to say was definitely another rejection, so he did not want to listen!

“Let me finish,” Feng Tianlan looked straight at him and said . “Or else you will regret it . ”
