Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 613: The boy you like is you_1

"Jiang Chengyuan, how come I never realized before that you’re such a weirdo?"

Li Xiyi took a deep breath as she stared at Jiang Chengyuan, uttering these words while suppressing her inner turmoil.

In her mind, Jiang Chengyuan’s image had completely turned upside down.

She had always thought it was her alone who harbored these feelings; it was unexpected that Jiang Chengyuan had been secretly harboring them too.

Her heart felt sweet, and the sky seemed to brighten up instantly.

"Because it’s a secret."

Jiang Chengyuan replied with a smile, his eyes doting on Li Xiyi.

Indeed, he had fallen in love with Li Xiyi even earlier than she did, and he didn’t know from the beginning that Li Xiyi liked him in return.

He had thought that Li Xiyi only saw him as a benefactor, treating him all along as a brother.

"Jiang Chengyuan, I thought my feelings for you were one-sided. I didn’t expect that they were reciprocal."

Li Xiyi smiled, her smile particularly sweet.

Yes, what she always thought was a one-way crush was actually mutual affection. How could she not be happy?

Fortunately, she came back, and Jiang Chengyuan came back too. Thankfully, they didn’t miss each other.

"Silly girl, Flower Road has an end. It’s 1340 kilometers away in Li City, so we do have a future."

Jiang Chengyuan looked into Li Xiyi’s eyes seriously and attentively.

"How... How did you know?"

Li Xiyi looked at Jiang Chengyuan in surprise. She knew that Lu Qingyi knew, but how could Jiang Chengyuan know?

He was not particularly tech-savvy, which Li Xiyi had always been aware of.

"Because I walked it, measuring it as I went along. It took thirty days; I walked the entire length. I wanted to know where the end of Flower Road was."

"A phrase was popular in Kyoto a long time ago: ’The Flower Road of Jinghua High School has no end, and we are also without a destination.’ I firmly believed this."

"I believe every road has an end, including Flower Road, which is why I brought food and water and intentional walked its entire length."

"Xiyi, we met on Flower Road. So, I firmly believe that as long as I knew where the end of Flower Road was, we could be together."

"It was exhausting to walk for thirty days, but I would do it all over again. Because we can be together now, can’t we?"

Jiang Chengyuan spoke affectionately, his words filled with deep love and emotion.

He had really walked its entire length, covering it on foot. He wanted to know where the end was— many people didn’t, but he did.

He constantly wondered, once he knew where the end was, whether it would allow him to be with Li Xiyi?

Though it might seem like a foolhardy indulgence, Jiang Chengyuan had wholly believed it at the time.

"You... Jiang Chengyuan..."

Li Xiyi looked at Jiang Chengyuan, momentarily speechless.

She had not realized that Jiang Chengyuan had harbored such deep feelings for her.

"Xiyi, will you marry me?"

Suddenly, Jiang Chengyuan got down on one knee. At some point, a ring box had emerged from his pocket. The box was open, revealing a ring lying quietly inside.

Jiang Chengyuan gazed at Li Xiyi affectionately, his eyes filled with uncertainty and fear.

He was scared of being rejected. He knew that Li Xiyi had once been in love with him, but he was not sure whether she would still love him.

Because Li Xiyi had changed so much, would her heart have changed as well?

"Marry him, marry him."

"Oh, another proposal!"

"The young man is so handsome. Girl, just say yes."

"Be together, be together."

"A pretty flower complements a beautiful woman, and so does a ring. Marry him."

"Say yes, say yes."

"You two are indeed a perfect match. Be together, be together."

"Please say yes."

"..."

The shop had been quite crowded, and hearing the commotion, people came over to watch, cheering them on.

Li Xiyi bit her lip while she looked at Jiang Chengyuan. Her heart was racing, offbeat.

Looking at Jiang Chengyuan, she suddenly felt as though this was all unreal.

She and Jiang Chengyuan hadn’t seen each other for over four years, with no contact in between, as if all connections had been severed.

Now, they had unexpectedly met again, and just within these few short days, Jiang Chengyuan had proposed to her.

It didn’t matter who was experiencing such a situation; they would probably find it surreal, too.

It was just like two people, barely acquainted, suddenly getting married. It was really...

Li Xiyi couldn’t find the right words to describe how she felt, but she knew she was at a loss.

"Xiyi, have you fallen out of love with me? If you don’t want to be with me or don’t love me anymore, it’s okay. You can tell me. I’m not going to force you."

Seeing that Li Xiyi had not responded, Jiang Chengyuan’s gaze quickly dimmed. He broke the silence in a voice filled with desolation.

Yes, it’s been several years, and Li Xiyi did use to love him, but does she still?

And even if she did, it doesn’t necessarily mean that she would accept his proposal. Both people’s thoughts have changed. Li Xiyi is not the same person she used to be.

"I’m willing."

Li Xiyi took a deep breath, slowly extending her right hand. She looked at Jiang Chengyuan, her eyes serious.

She had loved Jiang Chengyuan a long, long time ago. It was something she couldn’t and dared not forget.

Being with Jiang Chengyuan was something she yearned for in her dreams. And now that her dream was coming true, she was happy. It just didn’t seem real.

She felt as if she was dreaming, dreaming a dream that she liked.

"I’ve always been fond of a book titled ’You are the joy of youth.’ I like it because its meaning turned around is the words I want to say to you. Jiang Chengyuan, whether in the past or now, the young man I like is you. It has always been you."

Li Xiyi’s eyes were filled with laughter as she looked at Jiang Chengyuan. Her eyes were brilliant, like dazzling pearls.

You are the joy of youth; the young man I love is you.

"Xiyi..."

Jiang Chengyuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. He hastily put the ring on Li Xiyi’s finger.

He was with Li Xiyi now, and Li Xiyi had accepted his proposal.

He felt like a child that had just been given a lollipop, his eyes filled with joy.

"I thought... you didn’t love me anymore."

He looked at her, his eyes shining brightly.

As there was hesitation in Li Xiyi’s reactions at first, he was scared. He was so scared that he felt the air suffocating him.
