Chapter 439 – Power Of Tears; He Felt Bad (4)
“They are not symbols. Xiao Xiao said they are numbers and can be used for bookkeeping purposes.” Luo Junhao, who had recently learned these numbers were very impressed. Using this kind of numbers, the accounting books were much easier to read and the time spent auditing were reduced greatly. On top of that, one wouldn’t get dizzy after looking at them for an extended period of time.
“Bookkeeping?” Gong Zixuan was even more surprised now. She took a few closer looks and was still baffled. Dumbfounded, she asked, “How do you read these numbers? What do they mean?”
“Ugh.” After finishing the bean soup, Luo Junhao put down the small bowl and smiled, “If you want to be able to interpret these numbers, you will first need to learn these numbers. Once you’ve learned them, these accounting books would make much more sense to you.”
“Teach me, shi xiong Luo.”
Looking up, the smiling Gong Zixuan saw what was remained on the corner of his mouth. A beautiful smile spread out on her pretty face. Fishing out her little handkerchief, she reached out and started wiping it clean for him.
Luo Junhao was stunned a little. He hadn’t expected such a bold move from her. He exercised great strength to not flinch away from her but just looked at the pretty girl helplessly.
Under his intent look, Gong Zixuan suddenly came to the sense that her act might have been a little forward. Her face turned beet red and she said softly, “Shi xiong Luo, I…..”
“Aye, shi mei Gong, Aunty Gong is here as well right? Maybe….” Smiled Luo Junhao bitterly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Gong Zixuan already understood what he was going to say. Biting her own lip, she said decisively, “I… I will let my mom know. Shi xiong Luo. I… I am… am fond of you!”
Having finally said it out loud, Gong Zixuan, her entire neck now beet red, let out a sigh of relief. Boldly, she looked up and looked into his eyes.
“You…” Luo Junhao paused for a second and hearing her bold confession, he wasn’t sure he was more surprised or ecstatic. He just continued to look into her eyes.
It was until tears were swelling up in her beautiful eyes when he finally recollected himself and, with a bitter look on his handsome face, said, “Shi mei Gong, I worry that….”
“No, shi xiong Luo, don’t worry about anything else for now. All I want to know right now is, whether you like me or not!” Gong Zixuan, who had summoned up all of her courage, put aside her shamefulness temporarily. All she wanted to hear right now was his answer!
“I…..” Luo Junhao’s mouth dropped open. He didn’t know how to respond.
The two looked at each other wordlessly!
“I… I get it!” Gong Zixuan, bawling, stood up abruptly, turned around and ran out of the gazebo.
Her glistening tears seemed to have burned Luo Junhao’s heart. He stood up abruptly and gave chase without thinking.
He caught up to the one who was barely dozens of steps away and got hold of her arm. Looking at her tear-stained face, he closed his eyes gently and pull her into his arms.
BOMB!
Gong Zixuan felt that her head has just exploded. Dumbfounded, she leaned into the chest that she had been dreaming about, seemingly forgotten to react.
At that very moment, she felt she was dreaming. She didn’t believe it was actually happening!
“You are such a fool. Why?” The faint voice by her ear made her recollected herself. The very next minute, she couldn’t help but reached out her hands and wrapped them around him. Choking with her own sobs, she said, “Shi xiong Luo, I… I am not dreaming, right?”
“No, you are not. Aye, what am I going to do with you?”
“Shi xiong Luo….” Her lips curled and a happy smile appeared on her.
“……”
Hugging each other tightly, it was as though they were the only ones left between heaven and earth.
