NOT SUITABLE

CHAPTER FORTY SIX

WARNING :

Peng Jian thinks Feifei is a woman. He will refer to Feifei as a "she" or "her".

"Feifei, I like you!" Peng Jian blurted suddenly. His voice was very loud due to his tension.

Feifei flinched in reaction. His eyes wide in shock and disbelief.

He was standing there with a silly expression on his face. Speechless.

"I have liked you since the day Yanyan brought us here."

Last month?!! When they helped him till the soil in the backyard?!

Feifei was taken off guard. His eyes flittering nervously, avoiding Peng Jian's waiting eyes.

Peng Jian's expectant eyes.

Is this what it feels like to be confessed to? Feifei thought.

He feels nervous and tense but, his heart seemed calm. No waves at all.

Unlike Yuan.

Just his name alone makes him flustered, makes his heart pound.

But hearing Peng Jian's confession only makes him...awkward?

How to say...no? That is, without hurting him? Feifei deliberated.

Feifei is in a dilemma.

When suddenly, he felt a deeply penetrating gaze. He automatically looked at the direction where he felt the stare.

But his eyes only met darkness.

Eerie darkness and silence.

Yet.

Feifei can STILL feel the chilling gaze and the malevolence coming from that direction. He swallowed hard.

Did the young lady follow me here, floating in the darkness out there? Waiting for him to be alone? Is she looking for her dead daughter?

Yuan!

Feifei instantly called out to him. In the midst of his fears, he automatically sought the safe haven only Yuan can make him feel.

Feifei shuddered.

Its Yuan again.

"Feifei?"

Feifei looked at Peng Jian in question.

Is he still here? Feifei was so confused by everything. His mind keeps on wandering.

Sighing, he is thinking of how to "delicately" refuse Peng Jian's pursuit.

"I'm sorry, Peng Jian. I.."

Before Feifei could finish what he has to say, Peng Jian interrupted him mid sentence.

"Please don't be quick to refuse. Please consider me." Peng Jian implored.

"But I..."

"Feifei, please give me a chance to prove my sincerity. Think about this matter, please?" Peng Jian's eyes are quietly begging Feifei.

Silence.

Feifei's "delicately" constructed refusal is stuck on his throat.

Being confessed to, from the person you have no special affinity with, is really awkward.

Would they be able to calmly face each other again if he refused his intentions? Feifei thought.

Feelings are really...buffling.

The person he has no special feelings with, likes him.

But the person he has special feelings with, is playing him.

As the person who likes him, Peng Jian might pamper him and give him the royal treatment. But would these make him genuinely happy?

As the person who likes Yuan, he would definitely be very happy and content just by simply being with him. But, Yuan might hurt him again and again. He will not be as careful as Peng Jian.

So.

Is it better to be with someone who he doesn't like but likes him.

Or

Be with someone he likes but who doesn't like him?

Feifei swallowed hard.

He thought liking someone is just rainbows and butterflies. And feels like hell if your hurt.

He never thought liking someone has its own complexities. That you have to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages.

Is this still love or a business transaction?

Feifei bit his lips.

He wants to be happy. But he doesn't want to be hurt countless times.

He doesn't want to endure sufferings and pain just for these fleeting happiness.

His mind knows this as truths.

But his heart...

Feifei looked at Peng Jian seriously.

Its obvious Peng Jian is nervous. He can even clearly see him sweating from where he is standing.

Feifei has seen how Peng Jian struggled just to utter his confession. It must have taken a lot of his courage.

As a witness of Peng Jian's efforts, would it be harsh to refuse him directly.

Or.

Would it be even harsher to give him hope just to crush his expectations at the end?

Feifei is getting insane with all this. He just wants to grab his hair tight and shout to the heavens like a lunatic.

Shout out the frustrations he is currently struggling with!

This is making him crazy!

No wonder his master would always be hopping mad when he thinks too much.

Even he, himself, is being driven mad by his own doing!

Feifei glanced at Peng Jian.

Seeing Peng Jian waiting patiently in silence, Feifei firmly took the opportunity.

Feifei then had his chance to say his "delicately" constructed refusal. Hoping to lessen the...backlash of his confession.

"Peng Jian, I don't think we are suitable. The woman meant for you is waiting out there. This woman is waiting for her other half in you. Don't keep her waiting."

See! Delicate.

Feifei did not give Peng Jian any chance to react or say anything.

He swiftly grabbed the basket and the frightened chickens and hurriedly went inside the house.

In a flash, he firmly shut the door close!

If Peng Jian would insist, what to do then?

Mother!

Better escape quick!
