The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 250 Confession

Shen You never knew that Qi Ji's eyes could open so wide.

Qi Ji slowly raised his hand and touched the place where Shen You had just kissed him, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

No way, did you kiss her so hard that she became stupid?

At this moment, Qi Ji looked like the silly son of a landlord, without any trace of the gentle and noble temperament.

Shen You asked tentatively: "Are you okay?"

Qi Ji smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just... too happy. How... how do you know that I like you?"

"I have seen all the words on my double swords." Shen You held her cheek with her hand and smiled like a peach blossom.

It turned out to be the case.

Shen You said with a hint of regret: "It was just that the scene was chaotic and I don't know where the two swords went."

"It's okay, I'll make you better double swords after we get out." Qi Ji comforted.

The girl in front of him actually liked him, which was something Qi Ji never dared to imagine in his dreams.

"It's your turn." Shen You suddenly said.

"what?"

"I've already expressed my feelings to you, so why don't you tell me too? I actually really want to know what you like about me, is it my stunning beauty or my smart brain?" Shen You yelled.

It was obvious that Shen You was joking and acting a little like a spoiled child, but Qi Ji was thinking seriously.

Qi Ji thought about it for a long time, so long that Shen You asked in confusion: "Don't I have any merits? Why did you think about it for so long?"

"No." Qi Ji said seriously, "You have so many good things. I'm wondering where I should start."

"Let's start from the beginning."

Qi Ji, like a storyteller, narrated the book he had treasured for a long time, and every word seemed so precious: "Probably from the first time I saw you, in my heart, you are different from others."

"You are so happy every day. You are happy when it rains and you are also happy when it doesn't rain. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can make you sad."

"You are brave, tenacious, optimistic, and kind. For me, being attracted to you and falling in love with you is almost inevitable."

"It snowed heavily that year. You carried me on your back and walked through the snow. I looked at the falling snowflakes and thought, if we can't get out, this can be regarded as - we will be soaked in the snow together today and grow old together in this life."

Qi Ji spoke so seriously that Shen You felt shy.

"This princess thinks that what you said makes sense, so I will reward you by making you my consort. What do you think?" Shen You adopted the tone of a princess and said while picking up Qi Ji's chin with her index finger.

Qi Ji moved closer, placed his entire face on Shen You's hand, and said with a smile, "I thank you, Your Highness."

Qi Ji looked at Shen You, his eyes darkened, and said, "Next March, when the spring is here, let's get married."

At that time, Shen You had just reached the age of 15.

Shen You was shocked. No...how come they got married?

"Ah? But I'm still young, and Ning said it's not good to have sex too early." Shen You said, "Let's wait a little longer."

Qi Ji said: "We can get married first, and then... become a real couple in three years."

The anxiety and worry in Qi Ji's eyes didn't seem to be fake, nor did it seem like he was joking. Shen You asked, "Why are you so anxious? Xiaobai and A Ning have been engaged for such a long time, and Xiaobai hasn't even said she wants to get married. Tell me, why should I be so anxious to marry you?"

Unconscious Xiaobai: Thank you for mentioning me again.

Qi Ji said slowly: "We have been too busy since we left Junlai Town. Once this matter is done, we can settle down in the capital. Then, you and I can get married. The Qi family and the Bai family will support you and give you a helping hand."

Shen You asked: "Don't you think I'm daydreaming? I actually want to be the queen?"

Qi Ji shook his head and said, "In terms of qualifications, His Majesty has no children, and you are nominally a princess of the royal family; in terms of talent, you are no worse than the princes; in terms of character, you are kind and righteous, the only thing you lack is the support of the nobles and ministers. So, Youzi, marry me, the Qi family and the Bai family are your backers, and Aning and I will do our best to win over the Su family and General Cui. In this way, you are no worse than anyone else, why can't you be the empress."

It turns out that getting married is for one’s own good.

Shen You felt that it was really despicable for him to judge others by his own mean standards.

Qi Ji: Actually...not really, it’s more of a selfish motive.

"Yuzi, let's get engaged when we get back." Qi Ji said.

Shen You stretched out her hand and said cheerfully, "At this time, there shouldn't be any jade pendants, hairpins, or tokens of love?"

Unexpectedly, Qi Ji really started searching, and soon, a cloth bag fell into Shen You's hands.

Shen You curiously opened the cloth bag and asked, "What is it? Is it the jade pendant you always wear, or the bracelet your mother left for you? Oh, I know. It must be priceless - candied fruit?"

There was nothing in the cloth bag except a bag of candied fruits that had been soaked in water and still had water droplets on them.

"You use candied fruit as a token of love?"

Well, it’s not impossible, but this token of love doesn’t last long.

Having said that, at this time, candied fruits are really more precious than gold bracelets. After all, gold bracelets cannot fill your stomach.

Qi Ji said in a gentle voice: "I remember you said you liked to eat this candied fruit, so I bought some and kept them with me, thinking that if you wanted to eat it, I would be able to take it out."

Shen You picked the largest and fullest candied fruit, took a bite, and smiled, "Very sweet!"

There was no other food in the cave, so Shen You stuffed the remaining candied fruit into Qi Ji's arms, held up the candied fruit in his hand and said, "I'll accept this token of love, and I will remember its taste forever."

People say that smell is more memorable than appearance.

In Shen You's opinion, taste is the easiest thing to remember and the hardest to forget.

For example, right now, what she couldn't get out of her mind was the smell of braised pork.

Qi Ji didn't eat the candied fruit, but put it in his sleeve and watched Shen You eat the candied fruit with a smile.

Although now the two of them are talking and laughing, and have made plans for the future.

But Qi Ji knew very well that he and Shen You were not sure whether they could escape.

If it comes to a life-and-death situation, he hopes that Shen You has a greater chance of survival.

This candied fruit is the glimmer of hope at the critical moment.
