357 Chapter 357. Confession

Ding Shan’s heart was beating very fast. She had been in a panic since she heard him sing that song.

After the live broadcast of the program ended, she prepared to leave through the internal passageway. Her footsteps were hurried as if she was running away from something.

Unfortunately, she was unable to escape. Xiang Hong seemed to have anticipated this and had been waiting at the exit. She did not know what method he used, but no staff member was around. There were only two of them.

“What are you running for?” The man’s deep magnetic voice rang in her ears.

“Run? My work is over; I’m just getting off work.” Wang Le probably influenced Ding Shan, and she blurted out the word ‘off work’.

“Oh? You even rejected the interview?” Xiang Hong seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He still had a faint smile, and his clear, obsidian-like eyes only reflected Ding Shan’s figure.

Ding Shan was speechless for a moment. She was indeed not prepared to participate in the interview.

After the show ended, Ding Shan saw Mysterious X standing below the stage. The man’s eyes followed her as if he would walk towards her in the next second. At that moment, Ding Shan only wanted to run away.

Because Ding Shan didn’t say anything, Xiang Hong didn’t force her and changed the topic. “I adapted the song. Do you like it?”

Ding Shan was stunned. Did he mean ‘Not just a song’?

If he had only asked if the song was good, Ding Shan would have said it was good.

But … They all knew that Xiang Hong did not mean this.

Ding Shan’s heartbeat became even more chaotic. She didn’t know how to answer. She had never experienced such a scene in her life. No, she had never experienced it in her previous life.

Xiang Hong slowly approached Ding Shan, his eyes twinkling like stars. He looked at Ding Shan, but she kept her head down. When she felt him coming, she even took a step back.

“You’re always like this. You look easy to get close to, but no one can get into your heart.” As Xiang Hong spoke, he sighed, “Ding Shan, if it’s possible, I hope to get to know you when you’re not so guarded against this world. However, our story ended in the opposite direction.”

Ding Shan’s mind was blank. Although she knew what the man was saying, she couldn’t understand what he was saying.

“Everything I wanted to say was in that song. I’ve changed the lyrics many times, but I don’t know how to write it so that you can understand my feelings and give me a chance.” Xiang Hong took another step forward.

“I know you’re not ready yet, but I still want to ask you.

Because I’m worried that I can no longer control my heart.

Ding Shan, are you willing to let our story start from this moment?”

Xiang Hong’s voice rang in Ding Shan’s ears. It was gentle, but there was a hint of caution in it. It was as if he feared he would scare her away if he used such a firm tone.

Ding Shan’s mind seemed filled with countless fireworks that instantly rose into the night sky, and then all of them bloomed. The brilliant light made her dizzy, and she almost forgot how to breathe.

Her vague guess had finally become clear.

He liked her and was not just playing around. He was a proud person, but he wanted her thoughtfully and carefully.

After Ding Shan’s shock, she felt even more incredulous. She opened her mouth and asked, “You, What do you like about me?”

Looking at Ding Shan’s dazed and terrified eyes, Xiang Hong’s heart ached.

What had she experienced? Why would she reveal such a panicked and disbelieving expression when someone confessed their love to her?

Did she not think that she was worth it?

“If I have to list out reasons, I can list many. For example, you’re young and beautiful or brave and calm. These are all qualities that I admire.” Xiang Hong revealed a comforting smile and continued, “But I don’t think that’s why. There are many young and beautiful people and many brave and calm people, but I don’t like them. My heart will only beat faster when you get close to me.”

Which woman could stand a man like him saying such sweet words to her? Ding Shan’s face turned red.

“Feelings can be analyzed if I can clearly understand why I like you. For a rational person like me, it’s a controllable factor. But the truth is, I can’t control my love for you. It’s like a program that has been set up in my soul. It was triggered after meeting you, and I can’t stop it. ”

Ding Shan couldn’t take it anymore; her heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to explode.

How could he say such flirtatious words in such a calm and serious tone?
