Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 143 Because I really like it

Chen Bainian was completely speechless.

Looking at the girl in front of him with a sly smile, he suddenly felt as if she had him completely under her thumb.

However, he wasn't annoyed. He just smiled helplessly and then reached out to ruffle her hair: "I understand, Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yiting gave a satisfied "hmm," resting her chin on his shoulder. After a pause, she continued, "Actually, it was only when I went downstairs and got into the car that I belatedly realized that I didn't need to come out so early to watch the sunrise."

"With the brain that got you into Peking University, why didn't you think of that back then?" Chen Bainian chuckled.

"I didn't think that much about it at the time," Jiang Yiting pouted. "I just wanted to come out with you."

Chen Bainian didn't say anything, but gently pressed the hand around her waist twice.

Jiang Yiting's body trembled slightly, then she pressed down on his mischievous hand: "It tickles~"

Her peach blossom eyes were misty, making her even more captivating.

Chen Bainian shifted his body slightly, turned his head away, and dared not look any further.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke softly, "So, do you regret it?"

Jiang Yiting was stunned for a moment.

The question sounded like it was only asking her about her going out with him tonight.

But she always felt that he was asking more questions.

She flashed a bright smile and shook her head: "No regrets."

Her voice was soft, but firm.

Chen Bainian turned back and looked at her.

Under the starlight, her smile looked so bright, and her peach blossom eyes, filled with moisture, were so dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

This was the most beautiful version of her he had ever seen.

The two smiled at each other, and Chen Bainian no longer avoided her gaze.

"Little brother," Jiang Yiting called softly.

"Um?"

"You know what? Just now on the breakwater, when we were talking about us ten years from now, it suddenly dawned on me that it hasn't been that long since we met."

"About two months?" Chen Bainian calculated the days and answered softly.

"Yes, it's only been a little over two months, but it feels like a much longer time has passed."

Jiang Yiting leaned against him, her voice soft, and began to recall: "The first time we met, you were chased all over the neighborhood by Xiao Yezi because of your older brother's matter."

Do you remember what you said when I asked you that question?

She paused here, looking at him quietly, waiting for his response, as if wondering if he still remembered their first meeting.

"I said, it was my older brother's mother who forced it on me." Chen Bainian didn't hesitate or think twice before giving the answer he gave more than two months ago.

"Yeah, I thought that answer was so fresh." Jiang Yiting laughed when she heard his reply. "Oh, right, and the way you looked at me back then. Humph, you old fox, you recognized me but didn't tell me, you were just trying to scheme against me."

Old fox?

Chen Bainian keenly grasped the word and suddenly remembered an evening when he was waiting for her to get off work at the train station.

I think I understand why she suddenly threw a tantrum that day.

However, he didn't say anything, he just chuckled softly.

Jiang Yiting ignored him and continued reminiscing.

She talked about their collaboration on "Getting Over It" and also recalled the bowl of wontons she ate with him after the show ended.

Speaking of the morning when Ye Feng spread rumors about him, he clarified the situation and helped clean up the traces left by his older brother's mischief.

Speaking of the key he handed over first.

Speaking of his care during the Qingming Festival trip.

Speaking of stealing a moment of leisure in April.

She would occasionally stop, just to glance at him, or wait for a response from him.

"These past two days, you've introduced me to your colleagues, and also—your family."

"When you were at the bank, you told the manager that you were my girlfriend."

My heart skipped a beat when you introduced me like that for the first time.

You never seem to ask me for my consent; you just said it so naturally.

"And when you let me use your phone, you never once told me not to look through it."

At that moment, I was thinking, "It seems like you really don't treat me like an outsider."

Jiang Yiting paused, then lowered her voice further.

"And there are things I don't want to make public."

You didn't ask anything, you just nodded and said "I understand".

""

"Actually, I was wondering before how you would react when you found out about my decision. Would you ask questions, would you be unhappy, would you think I wasn't serious enough?"

"But you just accepted it like that."

"It seems that you've always been very tolerant and never in a hurry with me."

Chen Bainian listened quietly, gently patting her back.

Jiang Yiting snapped out of her reverie and back to reality: "Just like just now—when we came across that tent, you grabbed my hand and we walked away without saying a word the whole way."

I know what you're thinking.

You're probably thinking, "Don't make me feel awkward, don't make me uncomfortable, and don't make me feel like you're too impatient."

Starlight fell on her face, making her bright, almond-shaped eyes appear slightly moist, but she wasn't crying.

"I want to tell you," she said, "I remember all of this."

"So, we're not in a hurry, we'll take it slow."

"It's not because I don't like it."

"Because I really like it."

"I really like it, so I want to take it slow."

She finished speaking without waiting for Chen Bainian's response.

She propped herself up on her arms, leaned over, and gently kissed his cheek.

Then she returned to her seat, turned over, and faced away from him.

She raised her hand, pulled off the hair tie that was holding her hair, and put it on her wrist.

Strands of hair fell loose, spreading out in a small patch on the pillow.

Then she quieted down and softly replied, "Goodnight, little brother."

Chen Bainian was stunned.

He watched her suddenly turn away, and after two seconds, he raised his hand and gently touched the spot where her lips had just lightly touched him.

The car fell silent.

Apart from the sound of the sea squeezing in through the slightly cracked car window.

He could tell that her breathing was still a little rapid.

She is not asleep yet.

But he didn't turn back.

Chen Bainian didn't say anything either.

The two lay there quietly, each awake, yet pretending to be asleep.

After a long while, Chen Bainian reached out and gently tucked the blanket around her.

Then, he lay back down and looked at the starry sky outside the panoramic sunroof.

We promised to watch the stars together, but now he's all alone.

Looking at the starlight, he recalled what she had just said.

Over the course of two months, she recounted every little detail of their time together as if it were something very precious.

For her, the two had only known each other for a little over two months.

But for him, it was much more than that.
