153: Chapter 152 I Like You 153: Chapter 152 I Like You Li Shishi had barely left when the door was pushed open again.
This time, it was Hua Manlou and Hua Qingcheng who came in.
Hua Manlou, seeing that Song Yun wasn’t too badly hurt, said, “You better not die, okay?
If you really know you’re gonna die one day, just write a will and leave the Shura Alliance to me.”
“Motherfucker, why should I leave it to you?
Can’t I leave it to Li Tang, Zhao Yan, Black Flood Dragon, Meng Ku?” Seeing this kid, Song Yun got annoyed.
Damn it, not a trace of brotherly consciousness.
“Who let you be my brother-in-law,” Hua Manlou said with a playful laugh.
Hua Qingcheng gave him an unhappy glance and said, “You can roll out now.”
So, our handsome young man, Hua Manlou, could only look at Song Yun with a grievance, as if complaining that he had stolen his sister’s love.
“I just went to find Hua Manlou,” Hua Qingcheng explained.
After following Song Yun to the hospital, she found Hua Manlou and through her brother, told the whole story to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan, hearing this news, also began to mobilize all resources to find that Assassin.
“Uh-huh, I know, sorry about today, didn’t expect such a mess to happen,” said Song Yun in an apologetic tone.
“I really didn’t expect those bastards to dare use hand grenades, are you alright?”
“I was standing far away from you guys, so I wasn’t affected,” Hua Qingcheng said with a smile.
“Seeing how pitifully you’re hurt, I’ll magnanimously forgive you for yesterday’s incident.”
“You really are a good person,” Song Yun said with a chuckle.
“Wow, you even brought me a fruit basket.”
“I just bought it downstairs on a whim.” Hua Qingcheng wouldn’t tell Song Yun that she handpicked each fruit in the basket, to make sure they were all beautifully shaped and flawless.
“There are bananas too, heh, let me tell you, these bananas can not only be eaten but can also be ‘used’,” Song Yun, having recovered, let his true nature slip out unintentionally, whether that nature was dignified or shamelessly lewd depended entirely on his mood.
“How else can they be used?” Hua Qingcheng obviously knew what Song Yun was hinting at, but out of politeness, she bravely asked.
This isn’t fun.
When I say something like that, shouldn’t you be pretending to be shy and lightly slap yourself, calling me a bad person?
How can you directly ask how else they can be used with such brazen curiosity?
Song Yun really disliked flirting with this type of woman because with one wrong move, he might end up being the one flirted with.
“Cough cough.
Of course, it can be ‘used’, even offered up in tribute,” Song Yun said with a cough and a wicked smile.
“You didn’t think wrongly, did you?
Tell me, where did your mind go?”
“I thought of that too,” Hua Qingcheng said with a bashful look, glaring at Song Yun.
“Alright, alright, since you’re not busy, tell me a joke,” said Song Yun.
“I’m so bored here in the hospital, surrounded by nothing but white.
Too much of one color can drive you crazy, come on, amuse me.”
“I can’t tell jokes, go find them online if you want to see them,” Hua Qingcheng said, peeling an apple for herself.
“Isn’t that supposed to be for me to eat?
Why are you getting hooked on it?” Song Yun complained.
“Seriously, and you’re here to visit a patient.”
“I just ate it, what are you going to do about it?” Hua Qingcheng said with a challenging look in those captivating peachy eyes.
“I paid for it, so of course, I can eat it.”
“You win, I can’t argue with you.
You won’t tell me a joke, so I’ll tell you one,” Song Yun strained his brain to remember a dirty joke Li Tang had told him back when they were abroad.
“So, there were these two ant brothers blown by a gust of wind into a girl’s underwear!
The elder brother said, ‘Little brother, I guess you’ll have to sleep in a cave tonight!’ The younger replied, ‘Alright then, where will you sleep, big brother?’ ‘I’ll just sleep on the outside lawn,’ said the older ant.
After a night passed, the younger brother angrily said, ‘Dammit, a damn snake kept running around in the cave last night and even spit on me!’ Hearing this, the older brother was furious, ‘Crap!
I had it worse, all night two huge rocks kept smashing down on me!'”
“You really are bad,” Hua Qingcheng laughed heartily.
“You’re like a little yellow man; no, you’re a compilation of everything yellow.”
“That was Li Tang’s joke, don’t put all the blame on me,” Song Yun said displeased.
The joke was told, they chatted, and the atmosphere slowly turned tense.
Hua Qingcheng looked down at the floor without speaking, and Song Yun had no clue what was so interesting about those floor tiles.
Men are born to be the mood lifters, but now with the mood so stiff, Song Yun didn’t know what to say.
After holding it in for a while, Song Yun said softly, “About yesterday, I’m really sorry.
I don’t know why I lost control all of a sudden.
If I said anything that hurt you, please don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s fine, you already apologized to me earlier, and there was also my fault in yesterday’s incident,” Hua Qingcheng said with a smile.
“Let’s just let that go.”
“Mhm.”
This sort of atmosphere was getting on Song Yun’s nerves.
He was never this silent.
Where had all his topics and jokes gone?
Why was his silver tongue not working today?
“Actually, you’re quite cute when you’re not picking on me,” Song Yun blurted out, not even knowing why he said it.
It was just something he thought inside his head, but it slipped out.
“What did you say?” Hua Qingcheng lifted her head with a puzzled look at Song Yun.
“Nothing, I just said you’re quite cute.”
“Thank you,” Hua Qingcheng said with a flushed face.
“Actually, I’ve liked bullying you since we were kids.
I don’t know why, but just seeing you would irritate me, and I always had the urge to hit you.
It’s been more than a decade now.”
“Yeah, you loved to pick on me when we were kids.
But what could I do?
You are a girl, after all.
I couldn’t treat you like I did Hua Manlou and Xie Xing.
But I really want to know why you always picked on me.
It can’t just be because I’m handsome, and that’s why you always looked for trouble with me every day, right?” Song Yun was really bothered by this – being constantly tripped up and bullied by someone for more than a decade can get to anyone.
“I don’t know, maybe you just had a face that asked for mockery,” chuckled Hua Qingcheng.
“As a kid, whenever I saw your face, I just wanted to go and slap it.”
“Thank you for your leniency for not killing me when I was a child.
I’m truly lucky,” said Song Yun with a face full of dismay.
“Hehe, I remember when I just came back, all Hua Manlou would talk about was you.
I was not satisfied back then; why were you always the topic among the adults and kids?
Later, when I saw how you trained, how hard you were on yourself, I realized you were crazy.
At first, I wanted to stay away, scared I might catch your madness and turn into a little lunatic myself.
But then…” Hua Qingcheng bit her lip, hesitating before saying, “But then as I got older, I realized how tough it’s been for you.
I was very curious to know why you trained so hard, why you were always so vigilant, why…
you never looked at me directly.”
“I would dress myself up so nicely every day, but every time you saw me, it was as if you had seen a ghost.
I really wondered why you couldn’t see how I’ve changed.
So, I kept trying to compete with you until I finally realized that what I was doing was because I liked you.”
Seeing Song Yun about to interject, Hua Qingcheng placed her hand over his mouth and said seriously, “Don’t doubt it, and don’t think I have a fever.
I’m telling you something very serious – I like you.”
