Chapter 314 - The Face of Wei ZhiqianChapter 314: The Face of Wei Zhiqian
What Tan Mo didn’t expect was that Wei Keli had already made his mind up and wasn’t going to change his decision.
She had no idea what Wei Keli actually saw in her or what he wanted from her for him to be so persistent.
So Tan Mo decided to be straightforward, and she said, “Brother Keli, I don’t have that kind of feeling for you. You were always more like a big brother to me than anything else. And I have never heard about our families having any plans for our future together. I’m sure you know how much my family loves me. They would never force me to do anything, especially things concerned with love. They are pretty much letting me make my own decisions and would never force me into marrying someone. You should never say something like my parents are going to decide who I’ll be marrying in the future, because that is completely impossible. At the same time, promising your children to another family is so old school.”
Wei Keli was too shocked to speak for a few seconds. “Y…you don’t like me?”
“I’ve always seen you as my brother. I like you as family, but not as a relationship between a man and a woman. They are two different things.”
“I’m sure you’ve misunderstood your own feelings. I’m not even your real brother,” Wei Keli said with a grunt. “You’re still young, so you don’t understand what it feels like to like a man. Don’t worry, if you don’t, I can teach you. You’ll be able to learn that the feelings you have for me are not those between siblings, but more like those of a couple.”
Wei Keli couldn’t believe that Tan Mo had no feelings for him as he’d always been the focus of a lot of girls ever since he’d been a child.
When he studied at Jixia Academy, he had had so many admirers that he had even lost count.
He believed that it was impossible for Tan Mo not to fall for him, that she just didn’t understand her feelings and was actually in love with him, but just didn’t know it.
“You always called me Brother Keli in such an intimate way. No one ever calls me that,” Wei Keli said.
Tan Mo did her best to hold back her urge to roll her eyes and said, “Keqing calls you that too.”
“Because she likes me,” Wei Keli explained proudly. Despite him trying to hold himself back, he couldn’t help but hold his nose up high. “See, you even know that that is love. You do the same thing as she does. Have you ever considered that you might have feelings for me as well?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTan Mo was both impressed by Wei Keli’s efforts to coax her and completely rendered speechless by his logic.
“When you are in love with someone, you won’t be able to stop yourself from smiling when you see him,” Wei Keli continued. “Think about it, whenever you run into me, you are always happy, right? I remember you always had a sweet smile on your face when we met.”
Tan Mo was even more dumbfounded now.
Ugh! I shouldn’t have faked a smile every time I saw him. You reap what you sow, I guess…
“That’s because you’re like a brother to me. Should I cry instead of smile when I see my brother? Or should I get angry?” Tan Mo wanted to tell Wei Keli that she was always angry when they ran into each other, but she couldn’t let the persona that she was trying so hard to project crumble that easily.
However, Wei Keli ignored that and kept on trying to change Tan Mo’s mind.
“When you’re in love with someone, you’ll think about him and miss him when you guys aren’t together. His face will appear in your mind all the time. Whatever you do, wherever you are, you’ll always think about him when you see something that reminds you of him. When you are happy, you’ll want to share with him first. And when you’re with him, you’ll feel happy, and you won’t be able to control your expressions. Whenever he appears, he’ll give you surprises and make your eyes open wide. You’ll feel like your heart is racing like a sports car as if it wants to run to him the moment you see him. You want to be with him all the time, and he’s your whole world.”
As Wei Keli continued, a face slowly appeared inside Tan Mo’s mind.
It was Wei Zhiqian’s face.
Whenever she was happy or found something interesting to share, she would want to see Wei Zhiqian first all the time.
When she ate something tasty, she would want to let Wei Zhiqian try it as well.
When she met with Wei Zhiqian, she could never hold back her urge to hug him.
She was always so happy by his side.
Tan Mo then recalled when Wei Zhiqian waited outside her dorm and set off the fireworks to celebrate her birthday just a few hours ago.
She’d just said that she wanted to see him, and there he was, with his phone in his hand, walking out of the shadows and into her sight.
When she got bullied at the Ancient Text Competition by one of the students from Tsinghua University, Wei Zhiqian mysteriously appeared on stage and told the man off.
Whenever she was in danger or was getting bullied, Wei Zhiqian would always be there.
When she visited her grandmother with her mother during the Lunar New Year and was being ignored by her grandmother, Wei Zhiqian personally went there and picked her up.
When Yuan Keqing cried and tried to take Tan Mo’s doll away from her, Wei Zhiqian immediately noticed that the former was a scheming, nasty person.
He would always hide in her shadow and protect her without ever wanting anything back in return.
When she was being bullied by Qin Murong and her sister, Wei Zhiqian was the one who hugged her and shielded her.
When Tan Mo had already forgiven Yuan Keqing for trying to ruin her graduation exam, Wei Zhiqian remained angry for three whole years and waited for Yuan Keqing’s turn to take the exam to exact revenge on her.
She slowly recalled everything Wei Zhiqian and she had done together.
The sight of his tall, well-built body standing under the street lamp…
The sight of his beautiful fingers holding her hand and teaching her how to write…
The more she thought about Wei Zhiqian, the more her heart raced.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe impulse of wanting to run to Wei Zhiqian’s side emerged once again.
I…is this love?
Tan Mo quickly shook her head.
No, it’s because he’s my uncle! Uncle has always treated me the best.
She didn’t deny that she liked Wei Zhiqian, but that was because he was her uncle. It was a different feeling than what Wei Keli was talking about.
Tan Mo shook her head once again as if she was trying to remove the thoughts that she’d just had from her mind.
Wei Keli took a big step forward and asked, “Mo Mo, are you realizing now that you have feelings for me? You just have to admit that you love me.”
“No, not you!” Tan Mo shouted. Her mind was still filled with Wei Zhiqian, and she had completely forgotten that she had to put on an act in front of Wei Keli.
Wei Keli shivered a little, and his face darkened.
Even he now had realized that his words had reminded Tan Mo of someone else, and that person was not him.
As Tan Mo was still lost in her own thoughts, he took another step forward and grabbed Tan Mo by her shoulders.
“Who are you thinking of right now?” Wei Keli asked with a serious expression. “Who the h*ll appeared in your mind?”
He felt as if he had been betrayed by Tan Mo at that moment.
Tan Mo finally came to herself, and the first thing she saw was the once-good-looking face of Wei Keli, now twisted in anger into an ugly visage.
