Chapter 182 Even Professors Confess (28)

Their high school was a regular high school that emphasized arts and neglected humanities and sciences.

This resulted in students' overall academic performance not being very good. Many went into the arts or just coasted along, and even someone like him could get into the top science class and become the class monitor.

Chang Le is in the top-performing liberal arts class. She consistently ranks first in the Chinese language exam among eight schools, but at best, she can only score 40 or 50 points in math. This severe imbalance in her subjects results in a poor overall score.

With the college entrance exam approaching, she was in a state of silence and anxiety, and she found herself spacing out more and more often on the corridor and balcony.

That was when he confessed his feelings for the fifth time.

He used the promise that she would help him with Chinese and he would help her with math as bait.

Chang Le seemed to recall the situation at the time. She lowered her eyes, slowly turned around, and looked up at the man: "Ji Ye."

"Ok?"

Chang Le: "Do you like me?"

Ji didn't hesitate: "I like it."

Chang Le: "I don't have a pretty face, a good figure, and I'm severely nearsighted. I'm stupid, dull, selfish, vain, cowardly, and worthless. I'm not outstanding and I'm not presentable. I also have many dark thoughts and often feel melancholic."

“I am not the gentle, kind, and emotionally stable person you imagine. I can be furious, I can swear, and I can attack everyone indiscriminately like a madman.”

"I have weak family ties. I almost never called home while studying in Beijing. I'm only close to my grandmother. I don't even know what liking or loving is. I don't even know if I'm crazy or if I like you."

"I'm terrible, so terrible... what could you possibly like about me?"

Ji looked at her, and during the dozen or so seconds of eye contact, the woman did not look away, but instead looked at him with a dark and serious expression.

Women are always braver than usual when faced with such problems.

Perhaps it's not courage.

It's a test.

It's a lack of self-confidence.

It's a lack of security.

It is a desire to have someone firmly believe in your choice.

They awaited his verdict while anticipating the worst.

"Changle."

This wasn't the first time the woman had asked him if he liked her and what he liked about her.

As always, Ji tirelessly answered the woman's question time and time again. He cupped the woman's face in his hands, leaned closer, and said, "Look into my eyes."

Ji Ye said, word by word, "No one in this world is so monotonous. There is a good side and a bad side."

"You're always afraid that I only like the good side of you, afraid that I'll hate you, abandon you, and leave you because of the bad side of you."

"But I like you, I like everything about you, I like everything about you."

"I didn't only see your good side, nor did I only see your bad side."

"I know you can be a bit slow and clumsy at times, making mistakes, but I still like you; I know you can be selfish, vain, and dark in some ways, but I still like you; I know you can be weak and cowardly at times, not wanting to stand out, but you can be strong-willed, stubborn, and argumentative, but I still like you."

"You are soft-hearted, sincere, gentle, and kind. You always retain a sense of innocence in your dealings with people and things. You have a positive outlook and good character. These are all obvious advantages of yours."

"What I like is you as you are, the real you, the one with two sides."

As he spoke, Ji chuckled lightly, his expression mischievous: "Even if you poop on the bed, I'll still like it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Le covered his mouth.

Her face flushed red, and she murmured in disbelief, "You, you really are... you were talking so well, how, how could you..."

She was already rambling incoherently. Ji Ye looked down at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, exuding a roguish charm.

The woman, her face flushed, dared not look at him again. She turned away and tried to run, but Ji Ye gently pulled her back and held her in his arms.

"Changle."

Ji also comforted the person in his arms and whispered, "You have a very low sense of worthyness."

"You have to believe that in some people's eyes, you are really, really good."

After a pause, he added, "Absolutely wonderful."

Looking at the woman in his arms who was no longer struggling, Ji Ye rubbed her head and said, "The rain is too heavy, so we can't go out. Tomorrow, let's still go to Taiyan Ranch as planned and bring some local specialties for Grandma, okay?" Chang Le nodded.

Ji also laughed: "What do you want to eat now? I'll have the hotel deliver it."

“With me, you can always be spoiled and unreasonable, and you don’t have to please anyone.”

Chang Le, trying to control her choked emotions, hid her red-rimmed eyes and refused to look up: "Dumplings."

"it is good."

"Small cakes."

"it is good."

"Hmph, you want snacks too."

"Hahaha, okay."

-

The rain continued to fall all night without any sign of stopping.

"It seems a bit small." Inside the car, Lin Shen looked out the window.

The people inside the car were all doing their own thing, all wearing disguised fake faces.

Hearing this, the fat man glanced out the window and grumbled, "They only decided on the transaction location at Taiyan Ranch late last night. That spacious place, tsk tsk, you can see the whole area from one end to the other. They're obviously trying to prevent Sister K from sniping him!"

The monkey looked at his phone: "There's a small village nearby. They probably arrived a long time ago and are watching us from the shadows. Tch, those people love to hide in villages."

There was a few seconds of silence inside the car.

Lin Shen instructed Yang Wenji to take over the monitoring of the ranch, while Xi Huai was methodically cleaning his gun.

After looking around, Lin Shen turned to the woman who had been sitting there listlessly and indifferently: "Are you alright?"

Yu Ci raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with me?"

"Mindset, equipment, clarity of the mission, and whether there is a way out."

Lin Shen listed them one by one, his usual relaxed and unrestrained demeanor gone, and said in a deep voice, "The area is located on a plain pasture, and the villages are all low-rise houses. It will be difficult for snipers to find cover. It's also raining now, so you'd better adjust yourself. Once we're inside, you'll have to rely on yourself outside."

After a pause, Lin Shen said seriously, "Be careful. If it really matters, you can run."

Yu Ci smiled: "I've never failed before."

The fat guy cheered, "Sister K is awesome!"

Monkey: "Wow, that's awesome!"

Cheers rose and fell, but Yu Cixin felt awkward accepting the praise or digging her feet into the ground, choosing instead to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.

The vehicle continued driving. In the passenger seat, a man with an ordinary face and refined demeanor glanced indifferently at the woman's figure in the rearview mirror without saying a word.

Taiyan Ranch is located on the outskirts of the capital of Tai Kingdom, near the border, making it a natural ranch with favorable conditions.

The pasture was damaged a few years ago after being trampled and grazed by the herders' cattle and sheep. The herders, who had no livelihood, left the land. It was only a year ago that the government and partners funded its protection and restoration, and the pasture was able to recover.

It was around that time that villages were built around the land, and tourism began to develop.

So even though it was raining continuously, there were still countless tourists visiting.

“Our people are all nearby.” Xi Huai glanced out the car window, then turned to the woman, his voice hoarse. “We’ll go into the village. You can decide what to do.”

"Remember, don't trust anyone here."

Thailand has a unique geographical location; Thai Rock Ranch is close to the border, with Myanmar on the other side.

Myanmar, a country known for its open and honest people.

The area where Thailand and Myanmar meet was originally a war-torn border battlefield. The villages and tourism industry were only established a year ago, and it's hard to tell whether the people here are human or ghosts.

Yu Ci needed to get off the bus to find a place to stay. She nodded to the others in the bus, carrying her backpack, and said, "Be careful, see you later."

Fatty: "Everything's going well, let's go back and have some beer!"

Monkey: "I drink beer, you know~"

there.

Ji Ye had been leading Chang Le into the village for a while.
