An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 72 "A Complete View!"

Meng Youyou was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, as if she hadn't expected her to bring up Huo Qingshan on her own initiative.

Meng Youyou smiled kindly at Chu Yao and asked, "Chu Yao, may I ask you a question before I answer this one?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Chu Yao regretted them. She knew she had spoken out of turn, but since things had come to this, she didn't intend to run away. "What do you want to ask?"

Meng Youyou lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at her again, looking into her eyes, and asked, word by word, "Do you... like Huo Qingshan?"

Chu Yao was somewhat speechless. She wasn't surprised that Meng Youyou could perceive her motives. Just as she could observe Meng Youyou, Meng Youyou could also observe her.

But why did she ask so bluntly?
Chu Yao hadn't thought it through.

Meng Youyou noticed the other person's reaction and the wariness in their eyes, and quickly explained, "I'm not trying to declare war on you or assert my dominance, because we're not together."

At this point, as if realizing that her wording was not quite right, she quickly corrected herself, saying, "At least we're not a couple right now."

Meng Youyou wanted to add something more, but then she heard someone say, "I don't like him."

The voice was firm and decisive.

Chu Yao looked directly into Meng Youyou's eyes; she was telling the truth.

Upon hearing this answer, Meng Youyou simply responded with an "Oh," her reaction flat, before saying, "Now I can answer the question you just asked me, I..."

Chu Yao couldn't help but interrupt her: "Don't you have even the slightest doubt about my answer? I said I don't like him, and you just believed me like that?"

Meng Youyou smiled again, "Hmm...because your answer coincides with my feeling."

Chu Yao asked in surprise: "You've caught me giving him things and creating opportunities to get close to him several times."

Meng Youyou nodded slightly. "At first, I also thought you approached him because you liked him, but later, after I understood what it's like to truly like someone, I realized that you actually don't like him, not at all. When you look at him, there's no love in your eyes, only..."

Meng Youyou paused for a few seconds, then hesitated before speaking, "...Scheming? I don't know if that's the right word, but I can't think of any other word for the moment." Hearing this, Chu Yao laughed and asked, "If that's the case, then why did you ask me if I like him?"

Meng Youyou pursed her lips. "Although I have some guesses, they are just guesses. There are huge differences between individuals, and we can't generalize. I'm not sure, so I'm asking."

I think... it might be a little cruel to tell our story to a girl who likes him.

Chu Yao's smile deepened. "Alright, I've answered your question. Now it's your turn."

But the smile became increasingly ambiguous.

Meng Youyou didn't understand it, but she didn't dwell on it.

She swung her legs, which had been resting on the chair arm, very slightly, and instead of looking at Chu Yao, she turned her head to the side and began to speak to herself: "He... doesn't like me that much, at least not as much as I like him."

I don't want him to know this because I don't want him to know so clearly how deep my feelings for him are.

Meng Youyou described herself as "so...completely transparent," and then shook her head vigorously.

They seemed to strongly disagree.

She then continued, "I don't want him to be nice to me out of guilt or gratitude. I don't care for that kind of relationship."

After she finished speaking, she whispered again, "I really don't care."

The voice was very low, and the last sentence seemed to be spoken to himself.

Or... more like convincing oneself.
