I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 347 If I take the initiative to hold hands, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

"Alright, I'll take her to the hotel to drop off her luggage first. See you at noon!"

Kong Yue waved his hand, then turned to leave in a hurry.

Zhou Heng and the others only went back to find Liao Haomiao and the others after they saw Kong Yue leave with Yu Jingwan.

Upon seeing Zhou Heng, Liao Haomiao couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on? Why are you all so surprised that he has a girlfriend? Is that something to be surprised about?"

Zhou Heng and the other girls exchanged glances, gave an awkward smile, then turned to Liao Haomiao and said:

"Let me put it this way, this guy is amazing. Aside from Yin Mengran, he's struck up conversations with every other girl present..."

"what?"

Liao Haomiao first looked at Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue in surprise. The two nodded, looking helpless.

Then Liao Haomiao suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zhu Tao behind him...

Zhu Tao paused for a second, blinked, and muttered, "No wonder he looked familiar..."

"Okay... so what about his girlfriend? Is she normal?"

"So normal that it seems abnormal to us..."

Zhou Heng really couldn't understand why this girl wanted to meet him in person just a few days before the Lunar New Year.

Even if she's in a hurry, she shouldn't act like this, right? But judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to be lying. Compared to her, Kong Yue seems like the one who's lying...

"Let's have lunch with them, and then we can go somewhere else to play in the afternoon."

Zhou Heng asked Liao Haomiao for his opinion, and Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao simply exchanged a glance before reaching a consensus.

"Okay, no problem. We don't know where to go right now anyway, let's just put our luggage at home first..."

After leaving the airport, Kong Yue took Yu Jingwan into a taxi, intending to take her to a hotel to settle her accommodations for the night.

Kong Yue had originally intended to sit in the passenger seat; he subconsciously wanted to keep his distance from Yu Jingwan.

Because no matter which girl he's with, she always seems to dislike him... so he's gotten used to it...

But then he thought about it carefully...

Wait a minute? I think I'm dating her, right?

So she shouldn't mind if I sit in the back, right? She won't try to stay as far away from me as possible, or show any disgust...?

After hesitating for a moment, Kong Yue opened the back door, got in, and sat next to Yu Jingwan...

After the car drove away, the two people sitting in the back didn't say anything...

Kong Yue's hands gripped his legs tightly, looking very anxious, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out...

You can call me "baby" so naturally on your phone and say so much, so why can't you say it when we meet in person?

Or should I take out my phone now and chat with her for a while?

"It's quite cold today..."

After a moment, Kong Yue managed to squeeze out a sentence, as if it were a natural conversation, but only he knew how unnatural he felt...

Yu Jingwan nodded gently and replied, "Yes, that's right..."

"Hey, aren't you cold wearing that...?"

Kong Yue instinctively reached out to touch Yu Jingwan's pants...

But the next second, he realized what was happening and quickly pulled his hand back...

What was I trying to do? Was I trying to touch her leg? Was that an unconscious reaction? Am I really that perverted?

"Hmm...it's alright, not too cold..."

Yu Jingwan didn't notice Kong Yue's behavior. She then reached out and pulled at her pants, saying, "They're lined with fleece, so it's not cold."

"Oh...that's good..."

Kong Yue ended the conversation, and then his gaze fell upon Yu Jingwan's hand resting there...

It was placed between the two of them, palm up, so all they had to do was reach out and gently grasp it...

I remember when they were chatting on their phones, they were having such a passionate conversation... They even talked about kissing and hugging when they met...

"So... it shouldn't be a problem if I take your hand first, right?"

Kong Yue was genuinely terrified. All he could imagine was being slapped after holding hands with someone...

Perhaps he simply lacked experience in this area and couldn't imagine those pleasant scenes, only those painful memories...

"Whatever...whatever..."

Kong Yue didn't care about any of that anymore. Anyway, he was the rightful boyfriend. As long as she hadn't mentioned breaking up, he was her boyfriend, right?

So holding hands shouldn't be a problem, right?

Then, Kong Yue pretended to look out the window, and then reached his hand out...

Both of them were looking at the scenery outside their windows, unable to see what was happening in the middle...

The moment Kong Yue's hand touched Yu Jingwan's hand, both of them trembled slightly, as if stimulated by a faint electric current...

Then, Kong Yue simply placed his hand on Yu Jingwan's palm, not daring to hold it, but just letting it rest gently.

The next second, something surprising happened to Kong Yue: Yu Jingwan took Kong Yue's hand and their hands clasped together instantly.

"!!"

Kong Yue still didn't dare turn his head, but just stared wide-eyed, swallowing as if his throat was dry...

She took my hand on her own initiative? How could something like that happen?

Could this be a trap?

Fine, a trap it is! This trap is pretty good!

"Ah...such rough...hands."

Then, the thought crossed Kong Yue's mind. He could feel Yu Jingwan's hands; her palms were rough and not delicate at all, not like the skin condition one would expect for someone her age...

Kong Yue recalled that these hands resembled those of his grandparents, rough and hard from years of farm work...

How can a girl's hands be rougher than a man's...?

But since they've held hands, it means she must be satisfied with herself, right?

If they're not satisfied, they'll probably show their dislike after meeting in person. Forget holding hands, they probably won't even want to say a word...

Kong Yue wanted to ask more questions; he was willing to say anything as long as it opened up the conversation.

"Um... are your family comfortable with you spending the New Year here? Should I call them to let them know...?"

At this point, Yu Jingwan suddenly lowered her head, remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly began to speak:

"It's alright...no need."

Kong Yue paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Jingwan and asked, "Ah...aren't they worried?"

Yu Jingwan shook her head and whispered:

"No...nobody cares."
