Finding Glowing Beauty in Books Chapter 44.2

Chapter 44.2: 

Lan Ning froze for a moment. Although she had faintly felt that Ye Cheng’s feelings for her are not normal, but she also didn’t want to guess anything. After all, she is at last five years older than Ye Cheng. She is really embarra.s.sed to think about it. 小鲜肉, A younger man loving yourself.

But now having to face this problem…. Ye Cheng’s eyes are too serious. If she does not handle this well, it shows tht she does not respect the feelings of others.

What’s more, she wants to clarify this matter with him today.

She licked her lips slightly and looked at Ye Cheng. ‘As an editor, I certainly want to walk down this road with you but other things, I cannot do it.’

Ye Cheng’s voice dimmed for a moment. He hung his covetousness and asked: ‘Is this because of Teacher Xing Xin?’

‘What!’ Lan Ning was somewhat inhospitable. ‘Why do you say so?’

Ye Cheng smiled: ‘After all, I am also a person who write mystery novels. The instinst is there’

Lan Ning groaned.

Are her feelings so obvious? If Ye Cheng is aware of it, then Yan Ru Yu would certainly be aware as well.

So, that is why he is so confident?

‘Erm….’ Lan Ning felt that her throat is a little dry. She coughed and couldn’t look directly into Ye Cheng’s eyes. ‘This mater does not convern Teacher Xing Xin. I just…. I don’t like men whom are younger than me. You are only 20 this year. There are still a lot of uncertainty in the future. Like me whom is 25-year-old, I have intention to date to leading to marriage.’

After she said this, both were silent. People coming and going around them. And the breeze that happened to be blowing seemed to not affect both.

Lan Ning could not bear this atmosphere. After all, Ye Cheng is still a little boy in her eyes. Will she leave behind a shadow like this?

She desperately wanted to find a topic to ease the situation of the moment. Even if there are a few words of solitude, it would

would be nice to be able to comfort him. But when she looked into Ye Chen’s eyes, she could not say anything.

Finally, Ye Cheng opened his mouth. ‘Have you watched Robert Franklin’s Dandelion Girl?’

Lan Ning was shocked: ‘What?’

Ye Cheng said: ‘The heroine of the story comes from the future, after 240 years. She met the hero whom was 40 years old at the time in the woods. The two of them admired each other and felt affection for each other but the hero already had a wife. The two had never crossed the line. One day, the heroine’s time and s.p.a.ce machine malfunctioned, leaving only the last opportunity to shuttle. She did not return to 240 years ago but returned to 260 years ago when the hero was 20 years old. One year later she married him.’

Lan Ning unknowingly was taken away by the story told by Ye Cheng: ‘You mean the wife of the 40 years old hero was actually the heroine?’

‘Yeah.’ Ye Cheng smiled. ‘This is a very brave girl. As the

As the story says, she is not sure that she will fall in love with her man when she is 40. And if she is only 20 years old, she will love him but she still does not hesitate to go. Fortunately, the outcome is completely different.’

Lan Ning did not say anything. Ye Cheng continued: ‘Time is sometimes so wonderful. If you have met me a nd I am not 20 years old, a mature man with a lot of good books written under my pen name like Teacher Xing Xin, would you have chosen me?’

Lan Ning felt a little touchy. She does not know if it is because of the story or because of Ye Cheng’s remarks. She was slient for a while. At last, she just looked at him: ‘There is not so much if in this world. The realistic fact is I have met you and you are only 20 years old.’

Ye Cheng chuckled: ‘Yeah….’ He actually envied the heroine in the story. At least she had a time machine and a machine and a last chance.

The concert had already begun. The atmosphere in Xingguang Park is very warm but it cannot completely dissolve the stiffness between Lan Ning and Ye Cheng. Lan Ning thinking about this stage, she is not likely to go for dessert with him again. Since everyone has made it clear, then it is better to end this embarra.s.sment.

‘I’ll go back first today. I am sorry….’ Lan Ning said to Ye Cheng. She apologies and before he responded, she turned and went in the opposite direction.

Ye Cheng looked at her back and then he shouted: ‘Editor.’

Lan Ning paused, turned and looked at him.

Ye Cheng kept quite for a moment. The corners of his mouth evoked a familiar warm-warming arc: ‘One day, I will become a master as well.’

One that will not lose to Teacher Xing Xin.

Lan Ning was stunned, and then laughed together with him: ‘Oh. Great! Go for it!’

The weekend, because of having to reject 小鲜肉 Ye Cheng, Lan Ning was also emotionally affected for two days at home.
