C574 Chapter 574
His body, which had just relaxed, instantly turned stiff again. His face, which was full of red, turned white from red. He raised his eyes and looked at her, his heart suddenly sinking. "You …" "Don't you like me?" he murmured, his voice like a duck's. He had thought that if he was really rejected by her, he would feel very ashamed and lose face. But now, his entire mind was filled with panic. If she didn't like him, then what was he going to do?!
"Well, at least not yet." She nodded and told the truth. She would occasionally find him interesting, and the feel of his hair and ears was pleasant, but that was not how it was supposed to be.
In fact, there were only a handful of people in this school who could make Bai Yuerann fall in love with him.
He bit his lip and his eyes reddened. He wanted to hit her back in a nonchalant way, but he didn't care about her liking or anything like that. Or he could just turn and run away. However, the truth was that both his feet seemed to have been nailed to the ground. His throat was so dry that not a single word came out of it.
Her hand was still in his hair. "Even if I don't like you, are you still going to like me?" she asked, staring at him. Her pitch-black eyes were calm and unhurried, and her voice was like a gentle night breeze that penetrated into his soul, causing him to lose himself in her eyes at this moment.
It was unknown how much time had passed. Perhaps it was a few minutes, or perhaps it was just a few seconds. His two hands couldn't help but tug at the sides of his pants, unwillingness flashing through his eyes. "You …" "You're too cunning. If you don't like me, then why do you ask me this question?" He didn't know how to answer this kind of question.
"Is that so? This is the first time someone has called me crafty. " She laughed softly, as if she felt that his words were new. "So, will you continue to like me or not?" She continued to ask, as if she wanted to hear the answer from his mouth.
He looked at her smile and she smiled in front of him. It turned out that not only would she smile in front of Cang Yao, she would also smile in front of him.
"..." Joy... "I like it …" He unwillingly uttered these two words. There was unwillingness, helplessness, and desire. Even if she didn't like him, he didn't know how to suppress his liking. Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed her right hand that was stroking his hair. He said with a certain tone, "I'll make you like me. Even if you don't like me now, you'll definitely like me in the future!"
His green face was filled with a serious expression. The sunlight shone through the treetops and onto his body, as if it was coated with a layer of light.
Bai Yuerann was a little stunned, but Chu Lyu continued, "If you like touching my hair and ears, I can let you touch me, even if you say I'm like a dog …" "Don't worry, I will protect you more than Cang Yao." So don't hate him, don't dislike him forever. No matter what she wanted to do in the future, he would always be with her. He wanted to stay by her side, wanted her to be as fond of her as he was of her.
This thought was very strong. It was so strong that no matter what he did, he did not want to let go of the hand he was holding.
Then he waited for her to say, "Well, I'd like to know if I can like you, too."
Thus, his nervous and uneasy feeling was pacified by a single sentence from her.

Bai Yuerann didn't expect Chu Lyu to say such words to her. However, she wasn't disgusted by it; instead, she was curious about what he would do next to make her fall in love with him.
When she came home at night, she saw her mother lying on the sofa in the living room with her eyes closed, her head resting on her father's lap while he gently rubbed her temples.
In the past few years, his mother sometimes had migraines, and whenever his mother had a headache, his father would carefully and gently massage his mother's head. Bai Yuerann knew that her father's massage wasn't done carelessly, but rather, he had deliberately gone to her master to learn from her.
Ever since she was young, she had always known that her father would always pay extra attention to his mother. Whenever there was something wrong with her mother, her father would be the first one to notice it. In her father's eyes, she was always ranked after his mother. Although her father had always been kind and gentle to her, she didn't know if he truly loved her, or if it was only because of their mother's relationship that he treated her well.
Because as long as she and her mother were together, her father would only look at her 90% of the time. The amount of attention he would be given to her was pitifully small.
Upon hearing the sound of her return, Jun Haixin, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes. She sat up and waved at her daughter.
Bai Yuerann walked in front of Jun Haixin. "Mommy, is your head hurting again?"
"Just now, your dad helped to massage it. It doesn't hurt anymore." After that, she asked some questions about what happened at school today and Bai Yuerann answered them one by one.
While Jun Haixin and Bai Yuerann were talking, Bai Zhuyun did not interrupt them. He just held Jun Haixin's hand and looked at his wife gently, as if she was the only existence in his eyes.
Cang Yao was waiting not far away with a straight posture. In his hands, he carried his and Bai Yuerann's school bags respectively.
The current him was like a statue, giving off a lifeless feeling.
After Jun Haixin and Bai Yuerann finished their conversation, she looked at her daughter and Cang Yao walking up the stairs. Her brows slightly creased, "Is it really good to put Cang Yao beside Rann like this?"
"What's wrong? What are you worried about?" Bai Zhuyun asked, gently stroking the hair at the side of Jun Haixin's face.
"Cang Yao and Rann are already 13 years old, and the difference between males and females is becoming more and more obvious. If they are allowed to be together all day long, then once things go wrong …" Although she had initially agreed to give her daughter a child of similar age, to a certain extent, to protect her daughter's safety. At the same time, she could also be considered as having found a playmate for her daughter.
However, after her daughter had left her childhood and entered her adolescence, she started to worry about Cang Yao and her daughter having a taste of the forbidden fruit.
