After asking the question, Qiao Lian stared directly at him, as though she wanted to penetrate that profound gaze of his and delve into his inner world.

However the next moment, his eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, not letting anyone see through him.

Shen Liangchuan’s feelings were extremely complicated.

Had he fallen in love with her?

She had asked him the same question eight years ago.

They had been gaming together for half a year. They would tease each other, often chat and complete tasks with the team. As a result, they were getting closer to each other.

One day when they were in a voice call with their team, she asked him something.

In the presence of so many people, she had questioned, “Zi Chuan, why do you always protect me whenever we game?”

As soon these words escaped her mouth, she continued bombarding him, “Is it because you like me?”

That narcissistic and complacent tone sounded a little annoying.

As an ace of the game, many young ladies were pestering him to guide them in the game. Even in the team itself, there were a few young ladies chasing him.

However, she had been the first person to speak like this to him.

He was drinking water at that moment. Thus when he heard her, he suddenly choked on his water.

His coughs echoed in the team voice call and broke the pin-drop silence caused by the bomb she had dropped. After this, their laughters resounded.

Looking at his computer, Shen Liangchuan was at a complete loss of what to say.

Even though he had not seen her before, an image surfaced before him.

He imagined the game’s Xiao Qiao standing right in front of him with confidence and imperiousness, just like a princess.

After he felt that the itchiness in his throat had finally subsided, he called her. Just when he was about to tease her back, she spoke again.

She said, “Zi Chuan, I like you.”

“Shen Liangchuan, I like you.”

These words coincided with the voice in his memory.

He was incapable to differentiate between reality and memory for a moment.

He stared at her deep gaze, at that cheerful and beautiful girl before him, before processing what she had just said.

In a trance, he did not detect that her tone when she spoke was totally different from eight years ago.

Eight years ago, she had confessed proudly and confidently.

But now… Qiao Lian hadn’t even realized herself that there was a tinge of self-mockery and bitterness in her voice.

She liked him…

She had told herself clearly that she was only acting and that their marriage was nothing more than a contract. However, when she confessed, she realized that she had already fallen for him subconsciously.

Before interacting with him, Shen Liangchuan had just been an idol who meant something special to her.

She looked up to him, admired and adored him, and was crazy for him. But she had never experienced pure fondness towards him.

When had it become like this? Whenever she saw him, her heart would beat faster, her face would blush and she would look forward to listening to his voice.

She had let her imagination run wild whenever he treated her better.

However, reality had given her a tight slap across her face.

Her fondness seemed ever so ridiculous and weak in front of the birth control pills in the milk.

As her eyes welled up, she suddenly pushed open the car door, jumped out of the car and rushed into the news agency. Left alone in the car, Shen Liangchuan stared blankly at her back.

Was she… embarrassed?

Shen Liangchuan’s expression instantly became gentle. He picked up his phone and typed in two words: [Me too]
