Chapter 42 I Said, I Like You

"do you like me?"

These words were like thunder, exploding in Su Jiang's ears.

Pupils suddenly shrank, Su Jiang sat blankly opposite An Rou, feeling his heartbeat beating violently.

He didn't expect that An Rou could muster up the courage to ask him this question.

Su Jiang knew that An Rou must have made a lot of determination and planned for a long time to achieve such a scene.

"What, what's wrong!" An Rou stared with big eyes, then quickly lowered her head, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she was too shy to look directly into Su Jiang's eyes.

"Don't get me wrong. I just asked you if you like me. I didn't say I liked you. Don't be sentimental."

"like!"

"ah?"

An Rou thought she heard wrongly and raised her head slightly. As soon as she was halfway up, she felt herself being gently pulled into a warm embrace.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, and the Ferris wheel turned slowly, as if even time had slowed down.

At this moment, they were already at the top of the entire amusement park, but they had no time to pay attention to the scenery outside the window.

Su Jiang stepped forward, hugged An Rou gently, put his hands around her slender waist, and smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her hair, which was a nice smell of orange.

"Meow~~"

Fugui let out a cry of joy and jumped out of Anrou's arms with great discernment, allowing the two to embrace closer. He lay on one side and covered his eyes with his little paws, leaving a gap to peek.

An Rou's little head was resting on Su Jiang's shoulder. She hadn't reacted yet, or in other words, she thought she heard wrong and wanted to confirm again.

"W-what did you just say?"

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of hope.

"I said, I like you."

Su Jiang hugged An Rou's hand a little harder and said without hesitation: "I really like you."

When An Rou heard these words, the defense in her heart finally collapsed. She could no longer control her emotions and hugged Su Jiang forcefully, as if she wanted to completely integrate herself into his embrace.

Her shoulders were shaking slightly and she was sobbing quietly, but a happy smile broke out on her face.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No, I'm lying to you. I won't eat coriander in my life."

“You don’t eat coriander in the first place”

"I also eat it occasionally."

An Rou cried and laughed, lightly punched Su Jiang, and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to lie to me, you will be dead."

"good."

Su Jiang's face was pressed tightly against An Rou's hair, and he replied rather dotingly, but his heart was a little complicated.

Originally, he planned to wait until the special task issued by the system was completed before expressing his feelings to An Rou, because after all, he was still at risk of being wiped out by the system.

But now, he could hardly control his feelings for An Rou.

If that's the case, why bother with restraint?

There are all kinds of people in this world, and no matter what the reason is, Su Jiang and An Rou just happen to like each other.

This is not fate, just because they should like each other.

The Ferris wheel slowly descended, and the two of them were still hugging each other, greedy for this feeling and unwilling to separate.

Su Jiang gently stroked Anrou's little head and whispered: "Anrou, can you wait for me for a week?"

"It's better for me to do this kind of confession."

"After a week, I will definitely tell you how much I like you."

Hearing this, An Rou felt sweet in her heart. She leaned on Su Jiang's shoulder, her face flushed and murmured: "Actually, I can feel it even if you don't tell me."

Su Jiang chuckled and said deliberately: "Do you want me to tell others in the future that it was you who chased me?"

"Wha, why am I chasing you!"

An Rou quickly raised her head and pushed Su Jiang away slightly, but without any force. The two were still very close.

"I haven't agreed to be with you yet!"

An Rou puffed up her face and said a little stubbornly: "And it's hard to say whether I will agree to you in a week. It depends on your performance!"

"Meow!" That's it!

Fugui's call attracted the attention of the two of them, and then they remembered that they were not the only ones in the Ferris wheel, but there was also a little white cat.

Gently picking up Fugui, Anrou stroked the cat absentmindedly, and the Ferris wheel just landed and opened.

The two walked off the Ferris wheel. An Rou stretched out her little hand to fan her face with wind. Her face was still red and she walked in front of herself. She didn't know how to face Su Jiang now.

Su Jiang looked at An Rou's back with a smile, and then a hint of determination flashed through his eyes.

"One week" Su Jiang murmured, making a decision in his heart.

He has to complete a special task within a week and help the An family defeat the Feng family.

Only by eliminating the risk of being wiped out by the system can he be with An Rou without any worries.

Originally, he had no intention of getting involved in this fight, but now the situation is different.

An Mingjie's movements were too slow. According to his plan, it would take at least half a month to defeat the Feng family.

Su Jiang couldn't wait for half a month now. He told An Rou that it would only be one week.

However, he had to discuss with An Mingjie how to do it specifically, otherwise he was afraid of ruining some of An Mingjie's plans.

It is already very late now. For the safety of the students, the school will not let them play until night. The bus back is already waiting at the entrance of the playground.

But after nearly a day, they were exhausted and had played all the games they were supposed to play, so they were very satisfied.

Su Jiang and An Rou walked out of the playground one after another, looked carefully at the staff at the door, and found that Li Cai had disappeared.

He should have gone to do some business, Su Jiang thought, but he didn't know why An Mingjie sent Li Cai here.

At the same time, in a suburb a few kilometers away from the playground.

Li Cai was lying in a dense grass, hiding his figure.

Not far in front of him, there was a large factory, and the sound of machinery running kept coming from the factory, as if something was being made.

The phone vibrated, Li Cai's eyes were still fixed on the factory, his hand slowly reached into his pocket, and he answered the phone.

"What's the situation?" An Mingjie's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Just like the information, there is indeed a factory here. It is confirmed that it belongs to the Feng family."

"Can we go in?"

"No, there are guards outside, but it should be the same as you think. This is where the Feng family makes guns and ammunition."

"Okay, come back. I will think about how to take down this factory later."

Then, An Mingjie hung up the phone. Li Cai took a few photos of the factory from a distance with his mobile phone, then checked the time and left quietly.

Some time later, Su Jiang was sitting on the bus. When he was leaving, he just saw Li Cai in work clothes rushing back.

Looking at the direction where Li Cai came back, Su Jiang was thoughtful.
